Chapter 288 Hypocrisy
She forced back the nausea in her heart and said coldly to Lu Hanting, "Your Highness, I am not feeling well. Please allow me to take my leave..."
After saying this, Wu Weiwei took a step to leave.
"You stop!"
Seeing her pale face, Lu Hanting knew that his methods had probably frightened her.
She's seen this before, so why is she being so dramatic today?
Furthermore, I helped her solve a huge problem, and she left without even a thank you?
Wu Weiwei stopped in her tracks. "What else does the young master intend to do?"
She didn't ask him for help, and even without Lu Hanting, she wouldn't have done anything today.
She was carrying the poison powder that Xiao Qingyu had prepared for her, so what was she afraid of?
"you……"
That's really the opposite.
She used to be so delicate and charming in front of me, always using tears to win me over. How did she become like this?
All you can do is show weakness and say a few nice things, can't you even do that?
Or is she now determined to go down this path to the bitter end and has no intention of turning back?
The atmosphere reached a stalemate.
Seeing Lu Hanting's face grow darker and darker, Lingfu and Wanqiu were extremely worried!
They were afraid that the young master would harm their master.
After dealing with Xiao Lu, Liu Yun returned to find the atmosphere tense, and his heart pounded.
"Your Highness, Xiao Lu's manhood is ruined..."
Lu Hanting turned around and glanced at him.
Then Liu Yun lowered his head in fright.
He was simply stating the facts!
As time ticked by, Lu Hanting finally spoke.
"You go!"
Hearing the prince's words, everyone was finally relieved.
Wu Weiwei glanced at him indifferently, then led her people out.
However, just as she stepped out of the alley, she couldn't help but squat down and dry heave.
"Sir..."
Seeing this, Liu Yun called out in concern.
"What are you yelling about? It's just that you saw something filthy, what's the big deal!"
Lu Hanting assumed it was caused by something Xiao Lu had left behind, so he didn't speculate too much about Wu Weiwei's vomiting.
Ok!
I had just had the filth at the alley entrance cleaned up, and besides, the dog had already snatched and eaten it.
The stone slabs are now very clean; there is nothing dirty about them.
Perhaps Aunt Wu had an upset stomach before leaving home.
……
After Wu Weiwei returned, she asked Lingfu to make sure her cousin Bai Luzhu was settled in.
After rinsing her mouth, she rushed to Qingzhu's residence.
The reason she was in such a hurry to leave was because she remembered that today was the day Qingzhu and the others set sail, and she had promised to come back to see them off.
"Leng Yun, where is your master?"
Wu Weiwei arrived at the bamboo garden in the backyard.
"Master, our master has probably already boarded the ship. This is the letter he left for you..."
The master waited for his master for a long time, but he never came.
The departure time of this ship was set by the master, and the voyage cannot be delayed because of the master alone.
There was nothing I could do but leave, even without seeing my employer.
Wu Weiwei opened the letter and read it.
Upon learning that Qingzhu had been waiting for her before leaving, Wu Weiwei felt a little guilty.
Qingzhu had reminded her to come back early when she went out today.
She thought she was just going out to buy some cosmetics and would be back soon. Who knew that so many things would suddenly happen?
Forget it.
Since she couldn't deliver it, she would go to the dock to meet Qingzhu when he returned, giving him a surprise and making up for her apology.
After leaving the bamboo garden, Wu Weiwei went back to her room and lay down for a while because she was feeling weak.
Unexpectedly, he slept for more than two hours, not waking up until late afternoon.
Something's wrong?
Wu Weiwei thought about her recent physical condition. She didn't seem to have eaten anything unusual these past few days, so why was she vomiting?
The thought of vomiting made Wu Weiwei realize with a start that her period seemed to have been delayed for a long time.
However, the original owner's body was weak to begin with, and her menstrual cycle was usually irregular.
In addition, she had been beaten with thirty strokes of the cane when she left the Marquis's mansion, so she only thought that her missed period was related to her internal imbalance.
Wu Weiwei touched her lower abdomen, wondering if it was really true?
“Wanqiu…”
Wu Weiwei called outside the house.
Sitao hurried in.
"Miss, Wanqiu has gone to Qingzhu County to visit Granny Mei."
Right! Wu Weiwei suddenly remembered her instructions; she had indeed asked Wanqiu to visit Granny Mei on her behalf.
"Silk Peach, go and call Lingfu over here. Also, after you've finished this, find a doctor who can keep his mouth shut..."
Upon hearing that Wu Weiwei wanted to call a doctor, Sitao immediately thought of what had happened that morning; her employer was probably feeling unwell.
"Okay, boss, I'll go right away."
Lingfu, who was tidying up Bai Luzhu's room, felt a little uneasy when she heard Wu Weiwei call her.
Seeing her serious expression, Bai Luzhu asked curiously, "Lingfu, what's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. Miss, please tidy up first. My young lady is calling me, I'll go see her!"
"Okay. You can go ahead and do your work!"
soon.
Lingfu arrived at the main courtyard.
Even before she got close, Lingfu could feel the heavy atmosphere inside the room.
Seeing her mistress's unwell expression, she knew that the young lady probably knew about her physical condition.
"Young lady, you were looking for me?"
As Lingfu said this, she felt a little uneasy.
After all, she and Wanqiu knew about the young lady's health condition, but chose to keep it a secret. As the young lady's personal maid, this was simply unacceptable.
However, she did have her own reasons.
Manager Qing departed for Hainan Airlines today, and Wanqiu just went to Qingzhu County as well.
According to her plan, Wanqiu would question Granny Mei, and after obtaining concrete information, they would tell Wu Weiwei the truth.
“Get down on your knees!”
Wu Weiwei said sternly to Ling Fu.
Lingfu knew she had made a mistake and knelt down without saying a word.
Do you know what mistake you have made?
"Young lady, Lingfu knows she was wrong, but her mistake was in not reporting it!"
It's understandable that the girl is angry; she shouldn't have taken it upon herself to hide the fact that the girl was suspected of being pregnant.
"Go kneel outside! You can get up only when I tell you to..."
To be honest, Wu Weiwei was indeed feeling uncomfortable.
Such a big thing, yet the two maids kept it from her; however, she blamed herself more.
She was surrounded by unfaithful men, but she lacked the awareness to recognize them.
Soon, Sitao brought the doctor over.
Through a curtain, Wu Weiwei lay down on the bed and let the doctor take her pulse.
"Doctor, you must examine me carefully, you absolutely cannot make a mistake..."
Sitao chimed in with her instructions.
From her master's actions that morning and the words she had just spoken when she asked her to call a doctor, Sitao roughly guessed her master's condition.
Hearing Sitao's words, the doctor's heart skipped a beat.
Qingfeng Street is inhabited by powerful and influential people, and they are all family members of officials of the third rank or above in the imperial court, so he dared not be negligent.
He examined it carefully for a long time, and after a while, he seemed to finally be certain.
"Doctor, how is my wife's health?"
Although Wu Weiwei was nervous behind the curtain, she kept it to herself.
