Lu Xue was Lu Tingchen and Chu Jiu's daughter.
Sure enough, the sisters' attention was distracted once they heard that their cousin was returning.
"Really? I haven't seen her in ages," Yaoyao said joyfully.
Ji'er chimed in, "Mother, when is Cousin Xue'er coming back?"
"She's on the way. She should be arriving in another two days," Lu Liangwei replied with a smile. On the inside, however, she felt a little sorry for her niece.
Back when Chu Jiu was about to give birth at the frontier, a Danjue spy broke into the military camp and ran into her. During the ensuing fight, Chu Jiu experienced miscarriage-like symptoms and was even stabbed by the spy.
Fortunately, Mother was present on that day as she had calculated Chu Jiu's due date and traveled there to help her deliver the baby. If it were not for that, Chu Jiu would have lost her life. It was not hard to imagine how frail a child born in such a situation would turn out to be.
