Chapter 244 Cry if you want

This turn of events was so sudden that Hu Xiner's mind went blank and she couldn't even remember how she got home.

By the time she realized what was happening, Mother Lu was already holding a bowl of hot soup in front of her. She said softly, "Xin'er, Mu Qing will be back soon. Please wait a moment!"

There was a hint of anxiety and worry between her brows, but more of it was heartache.

A dark green figure appeared at the door. It was Jiang Yao.

She frowned and said, "Sister, you've called her hundreds of times, but she hasn't returned. I'm afraid it's because of her bad luck. Should I ask a Taoist priest to come and perform a ritual someday?"

Mother Lu said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Xin'er is a poor child, so just say less!"

Hu Xin'er looked bewildered: "Mom, what's wrong with me?"

Why do they both sound like I have a terminal illness?

"Xin'er, are you awake?" Mother Lu was surprised and happy. In her excitement, the soup spilled on her hands.

The maids all gathered around.

"Mom!" Hu Xiner also hurried to help deal with it.

Jiang Yao wanted to go forward, but when she saw so many people gathered around Lu's mother, she stopped in her tracks. "You're not young anymore, but you're still so unstable."

Mother Lu glared at her and said, "Look at you, you're the one who's disrespectful!"

"It's all my fault, otherwise mother wouldn't have burned her hand." Hu Xiner blamed herself.

"Silly child, how can I blame you? Hurry up and drink this tonic soup, then go back to bed." Mother Lu touched her head distressedly, "Being safe is more important than anything else."

Jiang Yao said coldly, "Isn't it just that she suddenly found out about her past? She's gotten rid of those parents, and everyone else would be applauding. But this girl, on the other hand, seems to have lost her soul. She can't even hear me when I call her."

Hu Xiner then guessed what had happened. Just as she was about to say something, Lu's mother urged her to drink some nourishing soup and go to sleep, saying that she needed to nourish her brain and rest quickly.

"Who sleeps in broad daylight?" Hu Xiner didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when she saw everyone's worried eyes, she felt warm in her heart.

This is her home.

Finally, Mu Qing came home and Jiang Yao saw him at the door.

Mu Qing was a little surprised to see her standing at the door.

This aunt has always been cold-natured, so why did she have the leisure to come to his door today?

Jiang Yao called out, "Mu'er, something's happened to your wife, come in quickly!"

"What?" Mu Qing was stunned at first, then hurried into the room and saw Hu Xiner lying on the bed drinking soup.

This was a huge shock. He took two steps forward and was about to ask something when he was pulled aside by Lu's mother.

"Mom, what happened?" Mu Qing asked hurriedly.

Could it be that the prince had taken ruthless action and poisoned Hu Xin'er?

Mother Lu whispered a few words to him about what had happened, and Mu Qing was immediately surprised.

Hu Xiner was actually abandoned?

He suddenly felt distressed, but pretended to be relaxed.

Jiang Yao and Lu's mother looked at each other, and then tacitly led the servants out.

The door was closed and only the young couple were left in the room.

Hu Xiner was still thinking about what happened today, and was confused by her mother and the others' reactions.

She tried hard to recall the period when her memory was blank... Could something have happened then? For example, she suddenly developed a terminal illness?

At this moment, Mu Qing sat next to her and gently held her hand.

Hu Xin'er temporarily put all her worries behind her: "How was your day? Did the prince give you any trouble?"

Mu Qing shook his head. In fact, he felt sorry for Hu Xiner.

No one can understand better than him the panic and loneliness of having one's life turned upside down.

When he first learned his true identity and that his father wanted to kill him, he was so distressed and confused that he had a splitting headache and fell into a coma. For a time, he was unwilling to wake up.

At that time, he felt that he was a life that was not expected by others, and it would be better for him to die early.

If I had not been born, perhaps there would not have been so much misfortune.

And what about Hu Xin'er? She had been abused by her family since she was a child. When she finally decided to start a new life, she learned that those were not her biological parents at all.

So were all her years of tolerance and hard work in vain?

Mu Qing remembered that Hu Xin'er's temperament changed drastically because she found out that her family really wanted to kill her.

If an ordinary person were treated like this, he would definitely return home in glory after becoming rich, or kill all those who hurt him to relieve his hatred.

After becoming successful, Hu Xiner never thought of taking revenge on the Hu family.

It can be seen that she actually attaches great importance to the Hu family in her heart!

Mu Qing's thoughts were exactly the same as Lu's mother and the others.

They all felt that Hu Xin'er must be in pain, sad, and heartbroken right now, but she just didn't show it.

"Why are you distracted?" Hu Xiner laughed and waved her hand in front of Mu Qing.

Mu Qing finally came to his senses. Seeing Hu Xin'er's smile, he felt even more pity for her, but he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Nothing happened. I heard that Erdong was recruited by the princess as her husband. The boy said he didn't want to, but everyone can see that he still likes the princess!"

After saying that, he started laughing.

Hu Xin'er silently looked at his forced smile.

Facing her gaze, Mu Qing couldn't laugh anymore.

"After being married for so long, I can still tell whether your smile is genuine or fake." She exhaled, "No need to deliberately change the subject. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Mu Qing rubbed her head: "Xin'er, I just don't want you to be sad. Let those sad things go."

"But people always have to face reality." Hu Xin'er closed her eyes, "Don't worry, I'm mentally prepared."

Whether it's cancer or leukemia, she can handle it!

However, in this era, the most likely terminal illnesses that can be diagnosed by doctors are tuberculosis and infertility...

Mu Qing sighed: "Then I'll be frank. Mother said you are not the Hu family's biological child. What's going on?"

Hu Xin'er tilted her head: "Is this what you want to talk about?"

Where is the terminal illness you promised?

Mu Qing was puzzled and nervous: "Did anything else happen today?"

Hu Xiner breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she was overthinking it.

So she recounted what had happened during the day, her tone unusually calm.

While telling the story, Mu Qing kept looking at her affectionately.

After Hu Xin'er finished speaking, she felt her throat was a little dry and asked calmly, "Is there any water?"

Mu Qing suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms and said gently, "Xin'er, cry if you want to, no matter how loud you want!"

Hu Xin'er was pressed against her husband's hard pectoral muscles, and she was at a loss.

She just wanted to say that she had traveled through time and space, and those were not her parents in the first place! What was there to be sad about?
