My Princess Has Been Reborn Chapter 43.2

Chapter 43.2 – We Share The Same Interests (2)

After Zhang Jian left, Lu Qipei thought about the sentence he left for a long time. After they get married, she wouldn't treat Qi Yang badly, so what did the Emperor have to worry1 about? After her mind turned a few times, she finally realized that the Emperor was reluctant to marry off his daughter, that's why she was a sore in his eyes.

After the sudden enlightenment, Lu Qipei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She held the royal decree for a long time feeling silly, and when she came back to her sense, she saw Qi Bo's strange expression.

Of course, Qi Bo was also happy. The reason he made up his mind to give up on Lu Qicheng was because Princess Qi Yang added a lot of points for Lu Qipei. Later on, he found out that the two were unusually close, and he started to dare thinking about the Prince Consort position. But regardless of his delusions and schemes, he would never have thought that the marriage decree would come so quickly and suddenly!

The surprise did come out of the blue, but what confused Qi Bo even more was how Lu Qipei acted – naturally, he could see that Lu Qipei was really happy to get the royal decree. That silly look of joy was as if she was going to marry her sweetheart.

In a flash, an idea slipped through his mind, and he suddenly seemed to understand something. But after that, he became even more surprised, because he realized that the look on Lu Qipei's eyes had also changed…

Lu Qipei came back to her senses and realized that something was wrong. She coughed gently to hide her embarrassment, then restrained her smile and asked, “Qi Bo, why are you looking at me like that?” After saying that, she handed the royal decree in her hand somewhat reluctantly, “Take the royal decree and put it on the altar.”

Qi Bo took the royal decree, but the strange look on his eyes turned into worry at this moment, “Young Master, this royal decree… With your identity, is it really alright to marry Princess Qi Yang?”

Qi Bo was trying to sound her out; he had obviously realized that things had gone beyond his expectations.

No matter how big-hearted Lu Qipei was, she was still very on guard against the Lu family, especially against Qi Bo who she had never been able to see through. Her eyes flashed, and she said while still smiling, “Her Highness is still young and naïve, and we share the same interests. We would be able to keep each other company well.”

She said it as if the two of them were still young and ignorant in love, and they could just lie together under the blanket after they got married and share the same bed.

Qi Bo gave her a suspicious look. If he hadn't seen Qi Yang's adoring eyes when the two of them were together, he might have believed it! But after seeing how they stuck to each other, Lu Qipei's words wouldn't deceive anyone.

His heart felt complicated for a while, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was harmless. Qi Bo then said, “If Young Master has it under control, then it's all good.” After saying that, he suddenly changed the subject and added, “There's another thing I need to report to Young Master. Recently, a maid in the mansion was found to be pregnant.”

Lu Qipei was stunned when he heard this. Qi Bo had always been the one in charge of everything in the mansion; why was he telling her this? There was no other master in this mansion other than her; so what if a maid got pregnant? Just let that maid marry whomever she should marry, it wasn't her who made that maid pregnant anyway!

Seeing the confusion in Lu Qipei's eyes, Qi Bo added, “She's the maid serving in the Young Lord's courtyard. She's two months pregnant now.”

Two months ago, Lu Qicheng was still alive…

Lu Qipei took a deep breath, and her gaze on Qi Bo turned dark. Two months ago was almost Lu Qicheng's final days. She brought it with her own hands, so she knew exactly what the situation was at that time. At that time, he could fall asleep anytime and anywhere, and he might not be able to complete his love affair within the time he could stay awake. With Lu Qicheng's pride, how could he still touch a woman at such a time!?

Since it wasn't voluntary, it could've only been something that was arranged by others. Lu Qipei thought of Lu Qicheng's final days, and suddenly felt some pity.

Qi Bo let her stare at him; the two of them were tacitly aware of Lu Qicheng's matter. As for this child who suddenly appeared, whether it would be a blessing or a threat would depend on the future. But if Lu Qipei couldn't tolerate the child, he wouldn't stop her even if she was to be ruthless and tried to kill the child.

Looking at Qi Bo's indifferent look, Lu Qipei could hardly guess what the old man was thinking. She closed her eyes and thought for a long time, and finally said, “Let them stay. After all, he's Ah Cheng's flesh and blood.”

Qi Bo was not surprised by her answer. After saying what he needed to say, he left with the royal decree.

He didn't think that Lu Qipei was being indecisive. In fact, it was a good thing to keep the child. After all, the Lu family wasn't just a rich family from Jiangnan on the surface. Someone would have to inherit it in the future – either Lu Qicheng's or Lu Qipei's child. But now, she was obviously in a relationship with Princess Qi Yang; how could two women have children? Would she sleep with someone else just for the sake of having children? And what about Her Royal Highness The Princess then?

Qi Bo was a sensible person. From the very start when he asked Lu Qipei to dress up as a man and act as Lu Qicheng's substitute, he no longer expected that she would have children. Things would've either gone smoothly under wraps, or reached the point of no return like today.

This child came at the right time, and could also be considered the Young Lord's last contribution before he died.
