After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife - Chapter 175

Luo Ge was visibly stunned, unable to speak for a moment as she stared at Lady Qian’s appearance.

Seeing Lady Qian’s eyes uncontrollably welling up with tears, Luo Ge’s expression turned bewildered, and her heart inexplicably ached.

She turned her head to glance at Gu Jinchen, pursing her lips.

As Doctor Ming was about to introduce them to each other, someone approached from the small courtyard behind Luo Ge and the others.

The newcomer, clearly surprised to see Lady Qian and her companions, immediately bowed in greeting.

“Lord of the Luo Family, Lady Qian, Young Master Luo, young mistress, and little young master,” she said, addressing Lady Qian and the others.

The arrival was Mei Yun, the wet nurse introduced to Luo Ge by the Princess Consort.

Mei Yun used to work in the Princess Consort’s household, and Lady Qian was the Princess Consort’s aunt.

Having had the fortune of seeing Lady Qian and the others a few times at the royal residence, Mei Yun naturally recognized them.

“Lady Qian?” Upon hearing this title, Luo Ge’s body stiffened as she turned to look at Lady Qian.

She hadn’t expected to meet the person whose name she had only recently heard and speculated about.

When Gu Jinchen learned that the woman was Lady Qian, he also paused noticeably, looking down at his young wife with concern in his eyes.

He remembered her mentioning that if their suspicions were correct and Lady Qian was indeed from the same world as her, it would be best to avoid meeting her.

Something about travelers from different times meeting in the same space potentially causing many unfavorable factors.

If the other party wasn’t benevolent and harbored hostility towards them, it could needlessly create trouble and increase danger.

Judging from various novels, this indeed seemed to be the case.

Encounters between fellow time-travelers rarely ended well.

In short, two tigers cannot share the same mountain.

Hearing Luo Ge’s call, Lady Qian hesitated, composing herself before revealing a gentle smile.

“You know me?”

Looking at Luo Ge, she had to restrain herself from rushing over to embrace her daughter.

What Lady Qian didn’t realize was that a mother’s expressions in front of her child were beyond her control.

Sensing an inexplicable feeling of familiarity and noticing the motherly, tender gaze, Luo Ge pursed her lips.

She nodded calmly, “I’ve heard the Princess Consort of Nanyang mention you before… and I’ve also heard about some of your past deeds.”

After speaking, she and Gu Jinchen beside her bowed slightly, “We, the younger generation, pay our respects to you, our elders.”Expplôre 𝒖ptod𝒂te stories at no/𝒗el//bin(.)c𝒐m

Seeing this, Lady Qian quickly stepped forward to support her.

Luo Juan also instinctively reached out his hand but, noticing the wary Gu Jinchen at Luo Ge’s side, he ultimately withdrew it without action.

He just looked at Luo Ge, his expression filled with a fondness that was difficult to describe.

Hearing Luo Ge’s words, Lady Qian understood that the child was testing her.

As someone from the same world who had heard of her deeds, what couldn’t she guess?

The term “elder” also made it clear that this was Luo Ge’s stance.

“Those things of mine are all in the past. Now is the era of your young generation,” she sighed and spoke softly, reluctantly withdrawing her hand from Luo Ge’s arm.

Hearing this, Luo Ge raised her head to meet her gaze, her eyes showing a hint of surprise.

Was this agreeing with her sentiment, not to compete but to coexist peacefully?

Had she encountered the extremely rare chance of friendly coexistence between time-travelers?

However, for some reason, perhaps due to her innate sensitivity to emotions of good and evil,

She found it impossible to be hostile towards Lady Qian, who looked at her so tenderly and made her feel such a strong sense of familiarity.

“As you say, my lady,” she replied with a smile after a moment of silence.

Among the bystanders, except for Gu Jinchen and Luo Juan,

The others listened to their conversation with bewildered expressions, unable to make sense of it.

Luo Shiyan’s family of three couldn’t interject, so they silently observed Luo Juan and Lady Qian.

Then they gazed adoringly at Luo Ge. This was his sister, so beautiful, worthy of being his sister!

Thinking this, he glanced at Gu Jinchen. Not bad, barely good enough to match his sister.

At this moment, everyone harbored their own thoughts, and the scene fell quiet for a while.

It was then that Doctor Ming finally found an opportunity to speak.

“Today, when I went out to purchase more medicinal herbs, I happened to encounter Lady Qian and the Lord of the Luo Family with their companions.

Knowing that the Lord of the Luo Family is a master of women’s medicine, and considering the young mistress’s unusual condition, I thought his presence could be beneficial to her.

That’s why I brought them back without first obtaining permission from young master Gu and the young mistress.”

Considering that now was not the time for Luo Ge to recognize her family due to her condition, but that they were all family, everything could be sorted out after Luo Ge gave birth.

For now, adding some fuel to the fire and letting them stay to cultivate their relationship was good.

He couldn’t be sure about the young miss, but hearing this, young master Gu shouldn’t object to letting them stay.

Luo Juan on the side: ???

When did this happen? How come he didn’t know? Wasn’t Uncle Ming himself the most skilled in women’s medicine?

Though confused, he understood that Doctor Ming was speaking on their behalf.

He was trying to create an opportunity for them to stay and spend more time with Nuo Nuo, to strengthen their relationship.

So, he silently went along with it.

Although he might be slightly inferior to Uncle Ming in women’s medicine, he was superior in all other aspects.

His presence would be useful, truly.

As Doctor Ming had anticipated, upon hearing his words, Gu Jinchen’s expression immediately softened.

He looked down at Luo Ge, wanting to say something, but after a moment’s thought, he chose to respect Luo Ge’s own decision.

How well Luo Ge understood him! She noticed his gaze and immediately knew what he was thinking.

She turned to look at Lady Qian and the others, paused for a moment, and finally smiled, nodding to them.

“Then we’ll trouble you all.”

Seeing Luo Ge agree, the Luo family members were overjoyed, though they had to suppress their emotions to avoid revealing themselves.

“It is we who are imposing,” they managed to say, restraining themselves.

Looking at Lady Qian as she spoke, Luo Ge smiled and turned to ask Qiu Niang to help arrange guest rooms for them.

As Qiu Niang led them away to rest, Luo Ge was about to sit down for a moment.

“Ugh.”

Unexpectedly, just as she sat down, it felt as if the baby had given her a hard kick.

A wave of pain washed over her.

She looked down at her feet and saw that her water had broken.

“The child, the child is coming.” Luo Ge gripped Gu Jinchen’s hand tightly and spoke with a trembling voice, her small face instantly turning pale.

Just moments ago when she was standing, she seemed to have felt a faint pain, but it wasn’t as noticeable as the usual feeling of the baby kicking. So she hadn’t realized what was happening.

“Doctor Ming! Qiu Niang, quickly call for the midwife!”

Gu Jinchen was also momentarily flustered. As soon as he regained his composure, he called out loudly, then lifted Luo Ge in his arms and hurried towards the birthing room that had been prepared earlier.

The group that had not yet gone far heard the commotion and quickly rushed back. Seeing the scene before them, they were all startled.
