Chapter 355 Physical Examination
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Xin'er ran out quickly, and at the same time turned back and shouted apologetically to Yin Li: "I will come to apologize later!"
Yin Li covered the wound and took a few steps, but did not chase after him.
What he needs is not just an apology.
His expression was a little sad, and he just watched Hu Xiner's back disappear from his sight without a trace of nostalgia.
Hu Xiner ran to the Lu family's door panting and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" The servants of the Lu Mansion were very alert. When they saw her, they were stunned for a moment, and then a smile of surprise bloomed on their faces. "The young lady is back, the young lady is back!"
Several more servants hurried over to report to Mother Lu.
Hu Xiner was now worried about Mu Qing's safety and had no mood to greet these servants. She just nodded and ran into the Lu Mansion.
On the way, she bumped into someone head-on. She screamed "Ouch" and took two steps back. The maid quickly supported her.
It turned out that Lu's mother heard that she was back, so she hurried over. Unexpectedly, both of them were rushing on their way, and ended up bumping into each other.
Mother Lu was also bumped into, and she finally managed to stand steady by holding her waist, but the first person she cared about was Hu Xiner.
Her eyes were filled with anxiety as she repeatedly asked, "Don't worry about me for now, go see the young lady! Xin'er, how are you? It's all because I left too hastily. Did I bump into you?!"
"Mom, I'm fine." Hu Xiner was still a little dizzy at the moment, and stood up with the help of the maids.
In fact, she didn't fall to the ground. She was rescued by the maids with quick eyes and hands as soon as she fell.
Mother Lu quickly stepped forward and looked at her carefully, saying angrily, "You're already a mother, why are you still so careless?"
Hu Xiner was about to tell someone about Mu Qing, but swallowed it back.
Mu Qing's injury would only add to Mother Lu's worries.
So she tried her best to hide her anxiety and said with a smile, "I missed you so much that I ran a few steps. It's okay. Proper exercise is good for children's health."
Upon hearing this, Mother Lu's eyes turned red: "If it weren't for Yun Qiu's frequent letters, I really thought you wouldn't return to the Lu family!"
"Mom~" Hu Xin'er shook her hand, "Isn't this a special situation? Actually, I really want to go home."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Mother Lu also understood the reason why Hu Xiner stayed at the Liu family. Although she wanted to stay with her son and daughter-in-law, she also had to consider Hu Xiner's safety.
She looked at Hu Xin'er lovingly, as if she couldn't get enough of her. Seeing her sweating profusely, she was very surprised: "Why did you come back so hastily? Did you suffer any injustice in the Liu family?"
When she said the last sentence, a hint of anger appeared in her eyes.
Hu Xiner wiped her forehead a few times. Mother Lu held her hand with a reproachful look and wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief.
"I haven't been wronged." After a short delay, Hu Xin'er couldn't help but look towards the room. "By the way, mother, where is Mu Qing? Where is he?"
Could it be that Mu Qing is hiding in his room recuperating now?
Although she knew that if Mu Qing was really seriously injured, it would not matter if he was delayed for a while.
However, I was very anxious and wanted to see Mu Qing immediately so that I could feel a little calmer.
"Mu Qing? He..." Mother Lu naturally saw the anxiety between her brows and was stunned.
Seeing her stunned, Hu Xiner felt even more nervous. Could it be that Mu Qing's condition was so serious that even Mother Lu was unwilling to tell her about it in order to prevent her from worrying?
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Mu Qing came out in good health.
When he saw Hu Xin'er, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable surprise and laughter: "Xin'er, why are you back?"
Mother Lu asked in confusion, "Xin'er, you're not usually impatient. Why are you so anxious today? Did something happen?"
"Actually, it's nothing serious." Hu Xin'er naturally couldn't tell the real reason, so she said casually, "Mom, I just miss you guys, don't I?"
From the moment Mu Qing appeared, she looked at him frequently, trying to figure out where he was injured from his seemingly normal appearance.
Mother Lu covered her mouth and chuckled: "You, you are not thinking about an old woman like me, but your husband who is in the prime of his life, right?"
She has always been steady and rarely says such frivolous words.
The maids around also laughed: "What are you talking about, old lady? You are still young!"
They all said one after another, "The Young Master and the Young Madam have a good relationship. This is a blessing for our Lu family. It would be great if they didn't quarrel and become estranged like before."
"Sister Baozhi, you don't know this, do you? They say the more a couple argues, the better their relationship becomes. Our young master and young mistress are like this—a short absence is better than a new marriage!"
After everyone had laughed enough, Mother Lu said with a smile, "Alright, stop teasing your young mistress. She's shy! I suddenly remembered that the osmanthus flowers in the front yard are blooming. Let's go see them."
The maids surrounded Lu's mother and went to the front yard to "look at the flowers" in a very cooperative manner, leaving space for Hu Xiner and Mu Qing to talk.
Before leaving, Mother Lu said meaningfully, "Xin'er, don't be so anxious next time. You have to be extra careful when you're pregnant."
After everyone left, Hu Xin'er didn't intend to explain. She pulled Mu Qing and trotted into the room.
Mu Qing was puzzled: "Xin'er, slow down and be careful of the child. What are you going to do?"
Before he could finish his words, Hu Xin'er closed the door and reached out to take off his clothes.
Mu Qing had never seen such a scene before. He quickly grabbed her hand that was reaching for his collar, lowered his head and smiled, "You're going to be a mother, why are you still so lewd?"
He looked so gentle with his lowered brows and a faint smile. If it were any other time, Hu Xiner would have been so engrossed in admiring his looks that she couldn't help herself.
But today, Hu Xin'er had no intention of appreciating her beauty. Instead, she said very seriously, "I don't have the heart to joke with you!"
Mu Qing chuckled. "What are you doing? What tricks did you learn out there?"
He was still trying to divert Hu Xiner's attention with other topics.
Hu Xin'er explained while observing his reaction: "Someone said you were seriously injured. I need to check it out!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing's expression changed immediately, and then returned to normal.
The time it took for his expression to change was very short. If Hu Xin'er had not had excellent eyesight and had not been observing him carefully from the beginning, she would not have been able to notice the change in his expression at all.
Because Mu Qing was also deliberately concealing this fact, trying to fool her.
As expected, Mu Qing laughed the next moment and said, "Where did you hear this gossip? Don't listen to other people's nonsense. Don't you know whether I'm injured or not?"
