143 Sibling-Love (1/2)
”XiaoJie, this servant has brought Ji Xue and the physician..”
LuLu entered the inner room and saw XuanFei standing by the window.
Hearing LuLu's words, XuanFei turned her head and saw an old man and a young girl standing behind LuLu. Without saying anything, XuanFei sat on the chair and placed her hand on the table, showing her fair wrist.
Looking at XuanFei, the old man hesitated.
”Why are you still standing? Come and check This Lady's pulse. No need to be afraid. This Lady will not harm you. Once you are done, This Lady will give you a huge sum of money.”
Hearing XuanFei's promise, the old man sat on the opposite side of the chair and placed a thin cloth on XuanFei's wrist, feeling her pulse.
After an incense stick of time[1], the old man removed his fingers on XuanFei's wrist.
”Speak.”
”T-This…This lowly physician heard two heartbeats. C-Congratulations, Young Miss. You are p-pregnant. A-Although the heartbeat is weak, this lowly physician thinks that you are c-carrying a child.”
Hearing the good news, XuanFei could not help but smile as she caressed her stomach but a few moments later, her face showed a very worried expression.
”I bled few days ago and almost miscarried the child. Will there be a complication because of it?”
The old man went silent as if he was thinking deeply. Few seconds later, he opened his mouth and spoke.
”The f-fetus's heartbeat is stable even though it is weak. Y-Young Miss should not worry. This lowly physician will w-write a prescription for strengthening the fetus' hold.”
After the old man wrote the prescription, XuanFei ordered LuLu to send the old man away, but before LuLu left, XuanFei whispered on her ears, ”No one is allowed to know my condition… kill him.”
LuLu nodded and left together with the old man, leaving XuanFei and Ji Xue alone.
Ji Xue moved forward and kowtowed in front of XuanFei.
”This servant greets XiaoJie.”
”Mmm.. Stand up. I believe LuLu already told you everything.”
Ji Xue nodded.
”This servant is aware of everything. XiaoJie, be at ease. This servant will serve XiaoJie with utmost care.”
XuanFei raised her brows and stared at Ji Xue, gauging her sincerity. Seconds later, XuanFei stood up.
”Prepare my bath. I want to freshen up.”
”Yes, This servant understands.”
When XuanFei turned around, she did not see the smirk in Ji Xue's face.

'What….. happened?' XuanRong foolishly asked.
