Chapter 298 Old Master Liu Comes to Visit

Mu Qing asked doubtfully, "Xin'er, are you unhappy because of the Second Miss of the Duke's Mansion?"

Hu Xin'er said in a muffled voice, "Don't ask anymore."

Whenever she thought of this incident, she felt complicated.

Mu Qing misunderstood her expression, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "We have already given up on framing you, but if she really doesn't know how to appreciate it and wants to harm you again, I will definitely teach her a lesson!"

"Hey, don't be impulsive." Hu Xiner didn't expect that he, who was always cold and steady, would have this reaction, so she quickly grabbed her husband.

Mu Qing said unhappily, "Xin'er, when dealing with people like this, we can't appear too weak or they will just get worse."

Hu Xin'er said sullenly, "Do I look like the kind of person who would swallow her anger when encountering problems? But this time it really wasn't because of her."

Mu Qing calmed down and noticed her abnormality.

He held Hu Xin'er's face in his hands, making it impossible for her to escape his gaze. "Then tell me, why is it?"

His gaze was extremely gentle, like a pool of spring water, making people indulge in it involuntarily.

Hu Xiner said subconsciously: "Because..."

Mu Qing put his forehead against hers, his eyes focused: "Hmm?"

Hu Xin'er suddenly came to her senses, her face slowly turning red. She said angrily, "You actually seduced me!"

She pushed Mu Qing away...but couldn't.

Mu Qing grabbed her waist and threatened, "If you don't tell me, I'll carry you out like this and let everyone see what happens when the young lady disobeys."

Hu Xin'er's eyes widened: "Did you peek at my domineering president novel picture book?"

Her husband couldn't possibly be so overbearing!

Finally, under extremely desperate circumstances, she sighed, "Mu Qing, if I say that I am very likely the granddaughter of the Liu family, would you believe it?"

Mu Qing was shocked: "What did you say? Didn't the Liu family's granddaughter go missing many years ago?"

Hu Xiner sighed again, and then slowly told what she had discovered.

With these clues, plus the fact that the Hu family once said that Hu Xiner was picked up, it is very likely that she is the granddaughter of the Liu family!

After hearing this, Mu Qing was silent for a while: "It's a good thing to be able to find your family, but you don't seem to be willing to recognize the Liu family?"

Hu Xiner nodded.

Mu Qing fell into deep thought again.

Hu Xin'er couldn't help but ask nervously, "Husband, do you think I'm willful? They seemed to have tried very hard to find me during the years I was missing."

At the same time, she silently added in her heart, no, to be precise, she was looking for Hu Xiner.

Mu Qing's relationship with the Liu family was not very close, and he was still very young when the incident happened, so he didn't quite understand what happened.

However, as an official in the court these days, my colleagues sometimes talk about the Liu family.

Therefore, he had a general understanding of the Liu family's style, and he could guess how the Liu family ran around and how heartbroken they were after losing their granddaughter.

Hu Xiner had seen families with lost children on TV before. The tragic scene made her feel so sorry for them that she actively shared the news online and donated a small amount of money.

She and Mu Qing had a spiritual connection, and looking at Mu Qing's expression, she knew that the Liu family must have had a hard time after their granddaughter went missing.

Mu Qing came back to his senses from his deep thoughts and asked seriously, "Why do you think so?"

Hu Xiner, who was blaming herself, was stunned.

Mu Qing looked at her deeply and said, "Xin'er, in my eyes, you are just you, not someone's daughter or wife."

These words were a bit confusing, but Hu Xiner was shocked and understood what Mu Qing meant.

In his heart, Hu Xin'er is the most beautiful, precious, unique and free existence.

He loves Hu Xiner, so he is willing to respect all her choices, even if her choices are a bit unconventional.

To Mu Qing, the Liu family was always just an outsider.

Even though Hu Xiner might be able to help the Lu family's revenge plan after regaining her identity, he was unwilling to let Hu Xiner experience any sadness or pain.

Hu Xin'er's eyes were inexplicably moist: "Husband, you are so good to me."

Mu Qing said gently, "I am your husband. If I don't love you, who will?"

Hu Xin'er was coaxed by him and her mood improved a little. She couldn't help but punch him: "Then why did you pick me up and threaten me just now?"

Mu Qing smiled and sat her down on the chair. "How dare I really threaten my wife? My wife is now extremely wealthy and has a close friend like the Princess as her backer. She's already living off her husband."

Hu Xin'er chuckled. "You are a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and a beautiful woman admired by everyone in the capital. How can you say that about yourself?"

After laughing and joking for a while, Hu Xiner sighed: "I always feel that this is a bit unkind, but I think my life is good now, so I don't want outsiders to disturb me."

She is now in the Lu family. The relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is harmonious. She and her husband can understand and comfort each other. She has a little life in her belly, and her life is very happy.

Although there is a powerful enemy like the prince, the whole family is facing it together, so she doesn't feel afraid at all.

Mu Qing asked softly, "Xin'er, do you blame them for losing you?"

He knew that Hu Xin'er had suffered a lot in the Hu family over the years.

So he thought that Hu Xiner was blaming the Liu family for not protecting her well, which was why she felt resistant.

Hu Xin'er shook her head: "I just think it's good like this now, and I don't want anyone to disturb me."

Mu Qing seemed to understand something: "That's true. The Hu family is so small, but it can still make you and me restless. A wealthy family like the Liu family..."

He paused, unwilling to say anything bad about Hu Xiner's family.

Hu Xin'er interrupted, "That's exactly what I mean. Although the Liu family looks prosperous on the surface, there might be some dirty things going on behind the scenes. Even if they didn't have so many relatives, it would still be annoying enough."

Mu Qing felt that what she said made sense, but Hu Xiner looked sad behind him.

The real reason in her heart could never be told to anyone.

That is, she is not the original owner of this body after all, so how can she monopolize the affection belonging to Hu Xiner?

Just then, Yun Qiu knocked on the door and said, "Master, something's wrong with the Madam! The old man from the Liu family has brought some people to cause trouble!"

"What?" Mu Qing and Hu Xin'er were shocked at the same time. Why would the old man of the Liu family come to their house at this time?

They hurried to the living room.

Over there, Mother Lu was sitting at the table, looking at Old Master Liu in front of her with some wariness.
