Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

1756 The Look On Lu Liangwei’s Face Changed

“Ji’er…”

Yaoyao suddenly shouted out for her and came running from the other side. She hugged Ji’er and began crying in agitation and she did not forget to be mad at Ji’er. “You silly girl, you’re so terrible…”

Ji’er was already feeling guilty and was caught in the moment because of Yaoyao as she began tearing up as well. “I’m so sorry…”

“I don’t want to hear your apology. If you dare sneak off and run away from home again, I’ll break your legs. How could you make us worry so much?” Yaoyao said fiercely as she cried.

Ji’er knew this was her older sister’s way of showing concern and she broke into a smile. “I’ve learned my lesson. I won’t do it again.”

Lu Liangwei gave an exasperated smile at Yaoyao’s words. “Yaoyao, is that the way to speak to your younger sister upon her return? I can’t believe that you’re saying that about Ji’er when you’re the one who had snuck off to the Yan Kingdom.”

Yaoyao immediately deflated when she heard this. “Mother, why are you still harping on this issue?”

“Weren’t you the one who mentioned it first?” Lu Liangwei gave her a coy glance and took out her handkerchief to wipe the tears away from the faces of both girls. “Alright. Both of you should stop crying. Just look what a mess you’ve made with your face. It’s a happy occasion that Ji’er has returned today. We should all be celebrating the day.”

Yaoyao made a face at her and teased, “You’re one to talk, Mother. You’re crying too.”

Lu Liangwei was embarrassed when her daughter pointed this out bluntly. She poked her finger at Yaoyao’s forehead. “You really talk too much.”

Ji’er looked at her mother and sister with reddened eyes.

It was then that a shadow loomed over her.

“Welcome home, Ji’er.” Long Yin opened his arms and hugged her.

“Royal Brother…” Ji’er choked back a sob.

“Alright. It’s good that you’re home. Mother had specially ordered a full table of dishes to be served when you get home. Come on,” Long Yin said with a smile as he rubbed her head.

“Okay.” Ji’er nodded.

All of them headed for Grand Phoenix Palace.

As they got nearer to Grand Phoenix Palace, Ji’er suddenly felt nervous.

Lu Liangwei noticed this and knew why it was. She sighed quietly but said nothing about it. All she said was, “Let’s go in.”

After Ji’er had cleaned herself up and arrived for the meal, the dishes were already spread out on the table.

Lu Liangwei got everyone to sit around the table.

She personally scooped a bowl of soup for Ji’er and said with heartache when she saw Ji’er’s thin face, “You’ve gotten so skinny, Ji’er. You should have more nutritious food now that you’re back. I’ve specially gotten the imperial kitchen to make this chicken soup. It has been simmering the entire morning. Drink up.”

“Thank you, Mother.” Ji’er picked up the bowl and took a sip. She had just swallowed a mouthful when she suddenly retched. The expression on her face changed as she quickly put down the bowl and ran out.

This shocked Lu Liangwei and she quickly gave chase.

The others followed behind anxiously as well.

When they caught up with Ji’er, she was already standing in front of a flower bed. She was throwing up while bent over.

Chu Qi was about to go to her when Lu Liangwei got there first. She patted Ji’er’s back gently and took out her handkerchief to clean Ji’er’s mouth after she was done throwing up.

The look on Lu Liangwei’s face changed as she watched her daughter’s face turn pale from throwing up, and she quietly checked Ji’er’s pulse.

“What’s wrong with Ji’er, Mother?” Yaoyao came toward them and asked. She looked worriedly at the listless Ji’er.

“She’s doing fine. The long and arduous journey home must have affected her appetite. All of you should continue with the meal. Lil Qi, help me take Ji’er back to her palace for some rest,” Lu Liangwei said gently as she glanced at Chu Qi.

Chu Qi was already on the edge and when he heard Lu Liangwei’s words, he quickly came forward. When he saw Ji’er’s pale and listless face, he wanted to carry her in his arms, but he could only help her by the arm as there were many people around them.
