Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

103-104

Chapter 103: Then I Should Have A Taste
Lu Liangwei said with concern in her voice, "Since you're unwell, you should just lie down. Father wanted to come in person today, but he's busy with military affairs and couldn't make the time, so he asked me to come to visit you instead. Are you alright now?"

As she spoke, a trace of displeasure flashed through Lu Yunshuang's eyes.

Claiming to be busy was just an excuse. If Lu Liangwei was the one who had gotten injured today, Father would probably rush back to see her even if he was miles away at the frontier.

When she thought of this, jealousy and hatred filled her mind.

She was only a few days older than Lu Liangwei, but ever since they were young, Father only cared about this fool Lu Liangwei.

She was clearly the smarter and more sensible of the two, whereas Lu Liangwei only knew how to cause messes which Father would eventually end up cleaning for her. However, in Father's heart, Lu Liangwei was immeasurably wonderful.

This was what Lu Yunshuang hated the most about Lu Liangwei. She was useless and uneducated, yet she did not have to raise a finger to win all of Father's love and attention.

Her eyelashes drooped slightly, concealing the intense jealousy in her eyes. "My face still feels somewhat painful, but my body is fine. Thanks for your concern."

Lu Liangwei breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as you're fine."

Lu Yunshuang paused for a bit. If she did not know her dimwit sister so well, she would suspect that she was the one who caused her sudden fall yesterday.

Her gaze searched Lu Liangwei's face, eventually deciding that the thought was too ridiculous.

Lu Liangwei was just a brainless fool who was good at nothing other than causing trouble.

If she were such a devious person, she would be the one to win the Crown Prince's hand in marriage now.

As this reasoning crossed her mind, the suspicion in her heart immediately dissipated.

In the end, Lu Yunshuang looked down on Lu Liangwei from the bottom of her heart, so even if she was a little skeptical at first, those doubts would not last for long.

Lu Liangwei already knew what Lu Yunshuang thought of her, so she was not at all worried that she would suspect her.

Lu Yunshuang pointed to the fruits and cakes on the table and said softly, "Do sit down for a while, Lil Sis. Those cakes were made by the imperial chef, and those grapes are a tribute by a foreign kingdom. You can have a try-they taste pretty good."

Lu Liangwei glanced at the fruits and cakes on the table, detecting the unconcealable pride in Lu Yunshuang's tone.

"So these grapes are a tribute by a foreign kingdom. I really should have a taste then." She did not show envy as what Lu Yunshuang had expected and casually plucked a big black grape.

While peeling the skin, she said regretfully, "The fruits are of premium quality, and the cakes also look dainty and delicious. It's a shame that you injured not only your face but also your mouth. What a pity that you can't eat them even if you wanted to."

A dark cloud formed on Lu Yunshuang's face under the veil.

As Lu Liangwei said, she had indeed injured her mouth and still felt sharp pains when eating, so she could only consume liquid food for the time being.

As she watched Lu Liangwei peel a plump and juicy grape and toss it into her mouth, the cloud on her face darkened further.

She plastered on a fake smile and said, "Eat slowly, Lil Sis. Be careful not to choke..."

Lu Liangwei spat out the grape seed in her mouth, interrupting her with a thud.

"These foreign grapes are really something else, they're so delicious." Lu Liangwei sat down at the table, pulled the plate of fruits over, and started feasting on them without holding back.

At the sight of this, Lu Yunshuang became so annoyed that her chest hurt.

She clenched her fists to stop herself from yelling. She would have spiked the fruits if she had known better.

"Alright, I'm getting a little tired. Why don't you go back first, Lil Sis? Remember to say hello to Grandmother and Father for me when you get back."

Chapter 104: Pricked Her All Over Uncomfortably
As if she did not understand Lu Yunshuang's hint for her to leave, Lu Liangwei smacked her lips, savoring the aftertaste. "If you're tired, then just go to sleep. I'll return after finishing this bunch of grapes. It's difficult for you to eat these few days, and the fruits might go rotten if left uneaten for too long."

Lu Yunshuang was getting a real headache now.

No matter how stupid Lu Liangwei was before, she was a very prideful person and would have left right after she had dropped such a hint.

She would not be sitting there and eating grapes shamelessly like this.

Seeing that she was determined to finish all the grapes, Lu Yunshuang could no longer put up her act. She was about to get up and chase Lu Liangwei out when a servant outside the door delivered a message, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here."

Startled, Lu Yunshuang hastily began to lie down again when she heard Long Chi's voice before he had even entered.

"Shuang'er, I can't be at ease if I don't have a look at your injuries. I must come in even if you won't let me. Just let me have a look..."

Long Chi walked in as he spoke but stopped abruptly when he saw Lu Liangwei sitting at the table.

Lu Liangwei blinked and stood up suddenly, saying slyly, "Does Your Highness wish to see my sister's face? That's simple."

With that, she suddenly made a beeline for the couch.

Before Lu Yunshuang realized her intentions, she felt a coolness brush over her face the next moment. The veil that she had used to cover her face had already fallen into Lu Liangwei's hands.

Her grotesque, badly bruised face was exposed to Long Chi and Lu Liangwei just like that without any warning.

The former was surprised and noticeably taken aback, whereas the latter had prepared herself for the upcoming drama.

"Big Sis, you're so badly injured. What are the imperial physicians doing? Why aren't they treating you properly?" Lu Liangwei said furiously.

When Lu Yunshuang came back to her senses, her first instinct was to hide under the covers, but when she saw the flash of shock on Long Chi's face, she was so upset that she forgot about Lu Liangwei's previous actions.

She was ashamed and frustrated that Long Chi had seen her ugliest side once again. Feeling completely embarrassed, she looked at Lu Liangwei with a trace of viciousness hidden in her eyes.

Lu Liangwei had been observing her expression and naturally did not miss the resentment in her eyes.

She paused for a while, then returned the veil to her. "You don't have to hide your face, Big Sis. We're all family-we won't laugh at you. Just now, I was moved by His Highness's sincerity and concern for you, so I tore off the veil in a hurry. I hope you don't mind, Big Sis."

Lu Yunshuang put the veil over her face again. Failing to utter a single word of accusation, she could only say glumly, "You were too reckless. Don't do that again next time."

"Alright." Lu Liangwei nodded. "Since your body's fine, I won't disturb you anymore. Have a good rest, Big Sis."

"Take care, Lil Sis. I'll let His Highness see you off," said Lu Yunshuang.

She was only so generous because she did not want to face Long Chi with her current appearance.

That fleeting display of shock on Long Chi's face pricked her all over uncomfortably like a needle.

Long Chi seemed to only have collected himself at this moment. His heart ached as he looked at Lu Yunshuang, and he wanted to comfort her. However, seeing that Lu Liangwei was here, he could only hold himself back and say softly, "Have a good rest then, Shuang'er. I'll come and see you later."
