Chapter 320 Mu Qing is here

No matter how angry the old lady was, valuable items were still delivered to Qingfeng Garden and Lanxin Garden like water.

Hu Xiner continued to search for clues about the basement, but she couldn't do it too obviously, so apart from the routine greetings, she would go and chat with Liu Yanchuo.

Seeing that the young master had a good relationship with this sister, the beautiful maids on Liu Yanchuo's side all wanted to build a good relationship with her, and chatted with her in sweet voices to entertain her, which was really lively.

Because she was generous, the servants in the mansion all flattered the young lady. Since she did not use the mansion's money, the elders did not interfere.

Only the people from the eldest house were so angry that they couldn't sleep at night.

One day, a servant suddenly came to the door and announced, "Miss, there's someone looking for you at the door."

Hu Xin'er was painting her hairpins in front of the mirror and was a little surprised when she heard this: "Is the eldest princess here?"

The servant shook his head: "No, he just asked us to come and inform you."

How could you go to someone's house and not tell them where you come from?

Hu Xin'er felt even more puzzled, but still followed him out.

When she arrived at the gate of Liu Mansion, she saw two unexpected figures.

It turned out that Mu Qing brought Madam Dou with him!

Mu Qing stood in front of the door. Because of his appearance, he attracted many people's attention just by standing there. He was wearing a green dress, the hem of which moved slightly in the autumn wind. It was clearly a newly made dress, but he looked a little thin and the clothes were a little loose.

Madam Dou stood there cautiously, but her attire was different from usual. What was particularly noticeable was that she wore a gold bell-shaped hairpin in her hair, with bright osmanthus flowers on it, which looked very elegant.

Yun Qiu had always been a steady person, but now she was very active. She thought it was the young master coming to coax the young mistress, so she quickly said, "Please come in. This is the young master of our Lu Mansion and Madam Dou from the comic shop!"

Hu Xin'er said, "Wait a minute!"

Yun Qiu knew that things were going to get bad when he heard it, and quickly pulled on his young mistress's sleeve.

Hu Xin'er was in the middle of a cold war with Mu Qing, so she turned cold and walked over directly: "What are you doing here?"

When Mu Qing saw her, joy flashed in his eyes, but he seemed not to have expected her reaction like this. He was slightly stunned and felt a little at a loss.

Madam Dou was sensitive to the strange atmosphere between the couple, so she took the initiative to speak and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Shopkeeper Hu for accepting the Liu family. Oh, you should call me Miss Liu now!"

"What's the big deal about being a lady or not? There's no need for us to be so formal." Hu Xin'er smiled at Madam Dou. This was the rising star author of Mu Xin's comics department, and she had made a lot of money for the comic shop recently.

It must be said that although the competition in the straight women’s market is more intense, the profits gained are huge.

Hu Xin'er didn't even glance at her husband, but said to Madam Dou with a warm smile, "I heard you moved into a new house, and I haven't gone to congratulate you yet. I didn't expect you to come here first."

Upon hearing this, Madam Dou smiled happily, "It's all thanks to you. I was going to the Lu family to submit a manuscript today, but when I learned that you were at the Liu family, Master Lu offered to take me over."

She specifically emphasized the word "active".

Hu Xiner glanced at Mu Qing and thought, now you know how to take the initiative, what were you doing before?

Mu Qing knew Hu Xin'er was still angry, and seeing his wife ignoring him, he felt very uncomfortable. He took two steps forward and said softly, "Xin'er, I already know I was wrong."

"Hmph!" Hu Xin'er would not be coaxed into submission by just a few words.

Madam Dou was very perceptive and could see that Hu Xin'er's attitude was actually softening. So she said with a smile, "I saw a paper shop when I came here and I want to go look around. Miss Yunqiu, please come with me."

Before Yun Qiu left, he winked at the servants around him.

The surroundings suddenly became empty, and the servants tactfully moved to other places, leaving Hu Xiner and Mu Qing with a chance to be alone.

"Since you're here, why don't you tell me your name?" Hu Xiner turned around, not wanting to lose her mind because of Mu Qing's beauty.

In fact, after being separated for so long and being pregnant, how could she not miss the father of her child?

But the more I thought about it, the angrier I became.

She left in anger, how could he really not come after her?

It was clearly him who did something wrong, but why could he endure it and never come to find me?

Mu Qing whispered, "Old Master Liu really dislikes me. If I tell him I'm from the Lu Mansion, he'll probably kick me out."

"They're all excuses," Hu Xin'er said coldly. "Isn't this what you wanted to see when I came to the Liu family? Why are you looking for me again now?"

Seeing that Hu Xin'er still turned her head away and didn't look at him, Mu Qing became anxious and took two steps forward to grab Hu Xin'er's hand. He said bluntly, "Xin'er, I did that before because I was worried about your safety!"

When Hu Xin'er heard him say this again, her eyes immediately turned red. She turned around and shook his hand away. "Just because you're worried about my safety, you can give me away? Mu Qing, what am I in your heart? Am I something you can just give away?"

"Why do you think so, Xin'er?" Mu Qing said hurriedly, "In my heart, you have always been the most important person to me. That's why I'm worried about you getting hurt. That's why I want to send you to a safe place. I don't want to get you into trouble."

"But I said I'm not afraid of being implicated!" Hu Xiner took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

She didn't want to show her vulnerability during an argument like this.

Mu Qing actually didn't expect Hu Xin'er to be so angry.

Hu Xiner has always had a good temper, and is optimistic and open-minded. He thinks that Hu Xiner's abnormal temper is probably due to her pregnancy.

So he said softly, "Xin'er, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I didn't consider your feelings. But even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the baby in your belly, right?"

He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

But this sentence became the fuse for Hu Xiner's emotional outburst.

She asked word by word, "Does it mean that in your eyes, everything I say is just willful, tantrums, and emotional?"

Mu Qing was slightly stunned.

Hu Xin'er bit her lip, tears falling: "Mu Qing, do you treat me as an independent person? But I, Hu Xin'er, am not your appendage."

She tried her best to suppress the urge to cry, but her voice still trembled slightly: "Or do you think that now that I have a child, I can do whatever you want?"

She was really fed up with this practice of controlling other people's freedom in the name of love.

Mu Qing looked at her and felt very distressed: "I'm sorry, I never thought of it this way. I just..."

He stopped halfway through his speech, as if he didn't know how to organize his words.
