My Princess Has Been Reborn

Chapter 144.2 – Extra Chapter 3

Children’s illness could end up being a small matter or a big matter, especially back then when children dying premature deaths were common. Although the reason for Lu Sheng’s sickness was a bit silly, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei naturally didn’t dare to overlook it, and their itinerary was naturally delayed.

Fortunately, although Lu Sheng was not treated with importance when she was young, she was still a descendant of the Lu family, and Qi Bo would not treat her badly in terms of food, clothing and care. After she arrived at the princess’s mansion, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei never treated her harshly. She had been well nourished since childhood, and heatstroke was just a minor illness. After recuperating for a couple days and drinking a few bowls of awful-tasting medicinal soups, she had mostly recovered.

It was the red heat rash that was more of a torment. Although Lu Qipei asked the doctor for a special ointment, it still couldn’t complete suppress the heat rash’s itchiness. It was fine when she hadn’t noticed it, but afterwards, it seemed like the itchiness could no longer be suppressed.

After all, children had poor self-control. A few grabs here and there, and in just two days, she’d scratched herself all over her body.

Lu Sheng had lived in the princess’s mansion for many years, and the princess and her prince consort never had any children. With how well the family of three got along, the people of the princess’s mansion almost treated her like half a little master. When it came to Lu Sheng, the maid didn’t dare to conceal anything, and quickly reported to Qi Yang.

Qi Yang actually cared about Lu Sheng. Although at the start she had some grudge towards her due to Lu Qicheng, but as a few years passed, Lu Sheng had always been very obedient. Qi Yang was not heartless, and she naturally fell in love with her. Plus, Qi Yang also understood in her heart that she and Lu Qipei would not have a child of their own in this lifetime, so she also treated Lu Sheng as her own child.

Now that she had received the report, she went to visit Lu Sheng again. She saw that there were indeed many scratches on her body, and felt distressed and helpless. So she had someone find a different solution, and had her take a medicinal bath. Every day, she would take a dip in the medicinal bath, and the results were much better than just using ointment.

Lu Sheng was also willing to cooperate – or rather, she was willing to get close to Qi Yang and Lu Qipei.

In the last few days, when she took her medicinal bath, Qi Yang would accompany Lu Sheng inside, while Lu Qipei would wait in boredom outside. There was a door between them, and from time to time, their laughter could be heard coming from inside. Meanwhile outside, Lu Qipei was left with the rabbit, staring at each other.

The rabbit’s triangle-ish mouth moved, its long ears twitched, then it hopped away to eat grass, ignoring this boring dude.

Lu Qipei curled her mouth and took the time to make a cage for Lu Sheng, telling her after the medicinal bath, “Ah Sheng, it’s not good to hold the rabbit in this hot day. If you really don’t want to hand it over to someone else, you can carry it in the cage in the future, so you won’t get sick again.”

Hearing this, Lu Sheng obediently nodded and smiled at her uncle, revealing two dimples on her face, “Thank you Uncle, Ah Sheng understands.” After saying that, she took the cage and hopped off to search for the rabbit.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, Lu Qipei saw a fat rabbit sitting pitifully in a cage.

Seeing Lu Qipei staring at Lu Sheng’s rabbit, Qi Yang teased her casually, “What, seeing how fat Ah Sheng’s rabbit is, do you want to eat it?”

Before Lu Qipei could say anything, Lu Sheng became a bit anxious and couldn’t help pleading for mercy on behalf of her rabbit. “Uncle, don’t eat the little rabbit. You can eat other rabbits, they’re just as delicious. Plus, the little rabbit has lost weight lately, it’s not fat at all!”

Hearing this, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei both looked at the “thin” rabbit that weighed more than five kilograms and fell silent.

But honestly, while the child had recovered pretty quickly from the heatstroke this time, the rabbit has been wilting for several days. At the start, it wouldn’t even eat grass, making Lu Sheng very anxious. After starving itself for a few days, it really did get thinner, didn’t it?

Anyways, there was no need to dwell on this issue. Lu Qipei nodded helplessly and said, “Alright alright, I won’t eat it.”

Lu Sheng was relieved, then looked at the table full of meat and vegetables and smacked her lips, remembering the delicious taste of rabbit meat…
