Chapter 301 Mysterious Letter

Mu Qing panicked and hugged Hu Xin'er in his arms to comfort her: "Xin'er, that's not what I meant."

He had just been thinking about protecting Hu Xin'er, but hadn't considered her feelings. His face was full of regret: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this at this time."

Hu Xin'er's emotions gradually calmed down under his comfort. She said with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry, I just lost my composure again."

Ever since she became pregnant, she has become particularly fragile and sensitive about some things.

Mu Qing naturally knew this, and he said softly, "I've read all those parenting books. You're having a hard time carrying the baby now. It's my fault. I didn't consider your feelings."

Hu Xin'er choked up and said, "Actually, those external things are not important. I just don't want to be separated from you..."

Mu Qing touched Hu Xiner's belly and was very worried, but in the end he did not say the words in his throat, so as not to make Hu Xiner sad.

Of course, he didn't want to be separated from his wife, but he was also really afraid that something might happen to Hu Xiner.

Hu Xin'er's stomach suddenly growled, and she said a little embarrassedly, "Ever since I got pregnant, I've always been hungry easily."

Mu Qing said gently, "The book says to eat small meals frequently. I've asked the kitchen to warm your food and hot soup for you. Come on, let's go eat."

Hu Xiner became sleepy after pregnancy, and she felt sleepy again not long after lunch.

Mu Qing lay down with her, and after coaxing her to sleep, he quietly got up and went to the study.

He thought about it again and again, and finally picked up his pen and wrote a letter.

Hu Xiner fell asleep on the bed, her brows unconsciously furrowed.

In her dream, she and Mu Qing were sitting in a carriage together, talking and laughing.

But in the blink of an eye, Mu Qing suddenly disappeared. She opened the car curtain in panic and looked around for him.

"Stop, stop!" she shouted, but the carriage showed no sign of stopping and continued to gallop.

Mu Qing was standing behind the carriage. As the carriage moved further and further away, he watched her, and she also became further and further away...

"No!" Hu Xiner woke up with cold sweat on her forehead, only to find that Mu Qing beside her was really gone.

"Mu Qing! Mu Qing!" She called out a few times. If it were normal, upon hearing such a voice, the servants outside would definitely push the door open hurriedly and ask what happened.

But today, it was too quiet.

This made Hu Xiner feel even more uneasy. She stood up, put on some clothes and wanted to get out of bed.

But at this moment, he found a letter next to the pillow.

The envelope was unsigned and blank.

"This can't be a letter from Mu Qing to me, right?" Hu Xiner frowned even more tightly. Who would put a letter next to her pillow for no reason?

Out of caution, she opened the envelope first.

"Dang!" Something fell out and scared her.

When I looked closely, it was just a key. Besides the key, there was also a piece of letter paper in the envelope.

After the letter fell to the ground, she found a pen and opened it to make sure there was nothing like a poisonous insect inside. Then she carefully picked up the letter.

There were two lines of small red characters written vertically on the letter, which seemed to be written with cinnabar, but the smell was very much like blood.

"The answer to the Lu family's blood feud is buried deep in the Liu family's basement?" Hu Xiner muttered these words in her heart. She was shocked and ran out of the door barefoot without caring about anything else.

There was no one in the yard!

The guards who were supposed to be at the gate of the courtyard, the two maids and servants guarding the gate, including Yun Qiu, Hu Xin'er's personal maid, were all nowhere to be seen!

"Mu Qing! Mu Qing!" The scene when Mu Qing disappeared instantly appeared in Hu Xiner's mind.

Could it be that this time, someone kidnapped Mu Qing again?

She couldn't help but run and call out in panic, and her voice echoed in the empty yard, which seemed particularly terrifying.

"Xin'er, why did you come out barefoot?" Mu Qing walked over from a distance with a heavy heart. When he saw this scene, his heart suddenly ached.

When Hu Xin'er saw him finally show up, she couldn't hold back her tears: "Why did you come just now?"

Mu Qing hurried over and hugged her in his arms: "Okay, okay, don't cry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have gone out."

Hu Xin'er choked up and said, "Do you know how scared I am? Didn't you promise me that you would stay with me before I fell asleep?"

Mu Qing blamed himself, "It's my fault. I didn't know you would wake up so soon... Oh, where are the servants in the yard?"

Hu Xin'er suddenly thought of something and hid the letter behind her back, choking with sobs, "I don't know either. When I woke up, they were gone."

Mu Qing suddenly became nervous: "Xin'er, how are you? Are you hurt? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

The regret and self-blame in his heart at this moment surpassed all his previous ones.

He knew clearly that his home was not safe and that those people would like to attack Hu Xiner, but he still failed to protect Hu Xiner.

If something happened to Hu Xiner because of his negligence, he would never forgive himself!

Hu Xiner clenched the letter in her hand and hid it quietly in her sleeve. Fortunately, Mu Qing was now fully focused on her condition and did not notice her little movements.

He carried Hu Xiner back to the bed by the waist and insisted on checking her condition.

Hu Xin'er shook her head. "I feel fine, because nothing happened. I lost my composure just now because I didn't see you when I woke up, so I was a little worried and scared."

"Then let the doctor come over to take my pulse later." Mu Qing thought about it and realized that his medical skills were indeed not as advanced as the doctor's, so he would not have to trouble Hu Xiner again.

Hu Xiner said "hmm".

Mu Qing covered her with a blanket and said helplessly, "From now on, even if you're in a hurry, you must wear shoes and clothes before going out. Look at yourself, you're only wearing two sleeves. What if you catch a cold?"

Hu Xiner knew she was in the wrong and lowered her head like a criticized elementary school student: "I know, I won't do it again next time."

"You!" Mu Qing tapped her forehead and felt a little embarrassed. There was no servant in the yard, so how could he call the doctor?

Just now, he seemed to smell the ingredients of drugs in the air. He thought that the murderer might have knocked out everyone in the yard. When he was about to attack Hu Xiner, he left for some unknown reason.

He asked seriously, "Xin'er, did you notice anything unusual when you got up?"

Hu Xin'er squeezed her Pipa sleeves tightly and shook her head: "When I woke up and didn't see you, I got scared and ran away."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the servant outside said, "Master, the old lady wants you to come over."
