Chapter 148: Handsome Can Make a Living

Xuanyuan Huili bit her lip and stared at the two people who were behaving intimately.

She heard that she was going to be married, so she came to Lu Yunjue to confess her feelings!

But when he saw the ambiguous scene between Hu Xiner and Mu Qing, his anger suddenly rose.

Good, what a good cousin from the Lu family!

From the first moment she saw Hu Xiner, Xuanyuan Huili instinctively felt a sense of crisis, because Lu Yunjue, who was cold to everyone, lit up his eyes when he saw her.

But she was clearly just an ordinary servant, and such special treatment deeply hurt Xuanyuan Huili's eyes.

When did you start to have a crush on Lu Yunjue?

In fact, at the beginning, as the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, she was disdainful of Lu Yunjue, who was nominally the most handsome man in the world.

When Prime Minister Lu was in power, he seemed powerful on the surface, but he did not form cliques for personal gain.

This also led to the rapid decline of the Lu Mansion after his death.

People like Lu Yunjue, even if they are just seeking fame, have earned themselves the title of the most handsome man in the world.

The best outcome would be to marry a lady from a noble family like her, and then use the power of the Duke's Mansion to rise to the top overnight.

However, at a hairpin flower party, she accidentally saw the figure that looked like a banished immortal.

From then on, I was haunted by that person's figure.

After Lu Yunjue came back to life, he actually came to the Duke's Mansion to be her study companion.

God knows how ecstatic she was!

But she could only express her concern implicitly, as she was firmly bound by her identity as the daughter of the Duke's family.

All this was because Lu Yunjue was already married and had a complicated relationship with the eldest princess.

Her mother had already warned her that she must not bring shame to the Duke's Mansion!

However, even a lowly servant, the so-called cousin of the Lu family, could get so close to Lu Yunjue unscrupulously!

And what about her? She had the title of "God's Proud Daughter" and was covered in luxurious jewels, but she could only watch helplessly as her beloved became intimate with someone else, filled with jealousy like a rat in a gutter!

She had previously asked the Lu family cousin whether she had feelings for Lu Yunjue.

But Lu's cousin did not admit it, and she was excited at that moment.

But she never expected that a mere study partner would dare to lie right under her nose!

Xuanyuan Huili bit her lips until the skin was broken, and the taste of blood spread in her mouth.

She was furious and took out all her anger on Hu Xin'er who dared to deliberately deceive her.

But he just left calmly and went to find Xuanyuan Jing'an.

"Aunt!" Xuanyuan Jing'an saw her, ran over and threw himself into her arms with a smile. "You finally came to see me!"

"Jing'an, be good." Xuanyuan Huili and Xuanyuan Jing'an are nominally aunt and niece, but in fact their age difference is not that big, and their relationship is very close, like siblings.

She held Xuanyuan Jing'an in her arms expressionlessly and patted his back. "Have you been studying hard lately? Are you satisfied with your study partner?"

"Hmph!" Xuanyuan Jing'an stamped his foot heavily. "She's such a jerk! She yelled at me while Grandpa was away and even pulled my ladder away, forcing me to sit on the roof for half an hour!"

Xuanyuan Jing'an's words confirmed Xuanyuan Huili's guess about Hu Xin'er.

This woman is indeed very scheming, otherwise she wouldn't be able to control Jing'an, the little bully.

She squatted down, smiled gently, and said something in Xuanyuan Jing'an's ear.

Xuanyuan Jing'an's eyes suddenly became even more furious. "Humph! I'm not afraid of her at all. Tomorrow, she'll come in standing up and leave sideways!"

"Naughty." Xuanyuan Huili smiled indulgently.

Hu Xin'er didn't know that someone was secretly instigating Xuanyuan Jing'an to bully her.

Mu Qing rubbed her head. She was about to complain to Mu Qing about what had happened to her that day, but because she had no food to eat, her stomach was already growling with hunger.

"Let's go to the kitchen." Mu Qing pulled her sleeve and smiled helplessly. "You're hungry, but you don't even know how to go eat?"

Hu Xin'er curled her lips: "You don't know, all the food is gone at this time."

Mu Qing looked into the kitchen in surprise: "But..." He comes to eat at this time every day.

When the aunt in the kitchen saw him, she smiled and waved at him: "Hey, Xiao Lu is here!"

It was clear that when Hu Xiner went to ask just now, these aunts only sent a cook to confront her.

If you bite it to death, there will be nothing.

But as soon as Mu Qing appeared at the kitchen door, the aunts' eyes lit up and they took out delicious food from various cabinets, boilers and food boxes as if performing magic.

You have a plate of braised pork trotters, and I have a bowl of crispy thousand rolls.

I managed to collect three full food boxes in no time!

Mu Qing smiled politely and said, "Thank you very much. I'll just take two food boxes. You guys can eat."

He picked up the lunch box and left gracefully, leaving behind a group of infatuated aunts.

Hu Xin'er, who had clearly been standing nearby and witnessed the entire process, was completely ignored by the aunties: ...

If her inner os had a voice, she would be letting out a groundhog scream right now.

Ah! It turns out it wasn't that the servants were too greedy and snatched up all the food, but that the aunts saved the food for Mu Qing to cook for himself!

"Sure enough, being handsome can be eaten." Hu Xiner couldn't help but sigh while eating a rich and luxurious lunch.

The two of them found a place behind a rockery to eat. Unlike Hu Xiner, Mu Qing had expended a lot of physical and mental energy in the morning, so he didn't eat much.

After finishing eating, he quietly watched Hu Xiner wolfing down her food. When Hu Xiner burped, he helplessly but lovingly brushed away the rice grains on her face.

"I can do it myself." Hu Xiner felt a little embarrassed.

"What are we as an old married couple afraid of?" Mu Qing said dissatisfiedly.

Living every day as if he were having an affair was definitely not the married life he had imagined.

Hu Xiner covered his mouth: "Shh, keep a low profile."

If someone knew that she was Lu Yunjue's original wife, it would not be a simple revenge of spending a whole morning painting a portrait.

Mu Qing held her hand and kissed her palm fiercely: "Come on, I'll take you back to the study."

Hu Xiner didn't want him to deliver it at first, for fear of being seen by others.

But when Mu Qing heard about the little devil Xuanyuan Jing'an and saw his poor wife who almost didn't have lunch, how could he feel at ease?

He insisted on sending her off, and Hu Xin'er had no choice but to laugh at Mu Qing as they walked along the road: "You're making such a fuss! Isn't Xuanyuan Jing'an just a child?"

But as soon as she opened the study door, stones flew out and headed straight for her face!

Mu Qing was quick-witted and quick-handed. He dodged with Hu Xiner in his arms, subconsciously caught the flying stone and threw it back.

Xuanyuan Jing'an was standing inside the door with his hands on his hips, looking smug, and looking at the stone that was thrown back in horror.

The stone flew past Xuanyuan Jing'an's head and smashed a hole in the pillar.
