Chapter 464 Take It Yourself

Jiang Yao's voice was a little hoarse from having just cried. "Since Sister agrees, I won't say anything more. Just do whatever you want."

She paused, then asked, "Mu Qing, what are your plans next? Are you going to stay in the capital with Xin'er?"

Mu Qing was a little confused: "Why did you say that, Aunt?"

Jiang Yao said to herself, "The capital is wealthy, so it's a good thing for you to live here with Xin'er. I can take my sister to live in seclusion in Jiangnan. After all, leaving this place of suffering will help her recover."

After all, if Mother Lu stayed in the capital, she would inevitably be worried.

By arranging Mu Qing in the capital to attract the attention of the Crown Prince and others, she could take the opportunity to live a peaceful life with her sister.

The second half of the sentence was just Jiang Yao's selfish thoughts. She knew that this would definitely provoke a rebuttal from Lu's mother, so she didn't say it out loud, just hoping that Mu Qing could understand.

"Aunt, you misunderstood!" Mu Qing didn't understand what she meant, but explained, "Fame and fortune are like clouds to me. I just want to be with my family forever!"

Mother Lu smiled with relief.

Jiang Yao changed her mind and realized that with the magic pen, the Lu family should not be threatened.

but……

She asked uncertainly, "What about Xin'er? Are you sure she doesn't want to live in the capital? After all, she has her property here, and she has the princess as her best friend."

"This..." Mu Qing hesitated.

Just then, Hu Xiner pushed the door open and walked in.

She had just returned from the Yangxin Palace when she heard her name mentioned there.

"What are you talking about, aunt?" She said in mock anger, "Of course I stand with the Lu family!"

The Taoist priest who was waiting at the door also walked in, followed closely by Lu Yunjue.

"Xin'er is right, we are a family and we should advance and retreat together!" The Taoist priest said seriously.

Jiang Yao spat subconsciously: "Who are you family with?"

The Taoist priest was a little confused: "No, isn't it?"

Jiang Yao smiled faintly: "What do you think?"

Listening to Jiang Yao scolding her husband, the corners of the others' lips unconsciously curled up.

Mu Qing took his wife's hand, and Hu Xin'er leaned her head quietly on his shoulder. They smiled at each other, feeling extremely sweet.

Everyone was quite tired today, so they rested in the palace. After Mother Lu felt better, they prepared to set off.

In front of the palace wall, three simple carriages were hidden among the passing crowd and were inconspicuous.

Hu Xin'er, who had changed her appearance, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked back, only to see the red walls and green tiles getting farther and farther away.

Because the eldest princess had severed ties with the royal family and the Liu family, she was sulking and had not informed other relatives and friends, so no one came to see her off except Old Man Dou.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the capital, and Hu Xin'er asked softly, "Godfather, can't you really come with us?"

Old Man Dou smiled and said, "Since the day my wife died, I vowed never to leave this place."

Jiang Yao suddenly pulled aside the curtain and asked, "Huh? Where are Yun Jue and the others?"

Hu Xin'er was confused: "Aren't they in the carriage behind?"

But there was no one in the carriage.

Everyone looked at each other and thought to themselves that something bad was going to happen.

At this moment, a figure in green came from afar. It was Lu Yunjue wearing a silver-white mask.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Something delayed me just now."

Hu Xiner was a little surprised. What could happen to him in the capital?

Jiang Yao slammed the carriage curtain down. "That bastard emperor must be reluctant to part with his daughter, so he asked you to go and chat with him, hoping to persuade you to surrender, right?"

A guilty look flashed across Lu Yunjue's eyes.

"Where's Erdong?" Jiang Yao asked again, "The emperor even summoned you, so he definitely won't let this son-in-law go, right?"

Lu Yunjue shook his head: "I didn't see him."

Everyone waited for a long time, but still didn't see Erdong coming, so they had to go back and look for him. When the carriage was moving, the bell in Hu Xiner's arms suddenly rang.

"Stop the sedan!" She remembered Lingling's unusual behavior when she met Erdong last time, and shouted hurriedly.

Everyone got off the car to look for him, and thanks to the bell, they actually found Erdong in an inn on the side of the road.

Seeing his leisurely appearance, Hu Xin'er's eyebrows jumped: "What are you going to do?"

Erdong touched his nose, his face filled with shock and guilt: "How did you find me?"

"You don't want to run away, do you?" Hu Xin'er asked suspiciously.

Erdong laughed awkwardly a few times. "Hasn't the contract already been concluded? I was just thinking we'd just settle the payment and go our separate ways, right?"

Hu Xin'er was speechless: "You wish! The contract we signed said that you have to hand over everything you brought with you from the time travel."

Erdong was led back to the carriage with a drooping head, and Lu Yunjue was in charge of guarding him.

Hu Xin'er sat in the carriage, getting angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She couldn't help but complain, "This Erdong, who looks like a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, turned out to be a habitual fugitive! We were worried about his safety and had been looking for him for so long, and yet he's just sitting in the inn, leisurely watching the show."

Mu Qing was not in a good mood either.

He looked at Hu Xin'er silently, his eyes full of contemplation.

"What's the matter?" Hu Xin'er asked curiously.

Mu Qing leaned over, and a strand of black hair fell on the tip of her nose, making it itchy, and she couldn't help rubbing her nose.

His perfect jawline fell clearly into her eyes, followed by his tightly pursed thin lips, high nose bridge, and deep eyes...

Hu Xin'er was stunned for a moment, until his slender hand reached into her collar, and she hurriedly covered it: "What are you doing? This is in a carriage, don't mess around!"

Mu Qing snorted lightly: "Why are you blocking me? Are you afraid that I will find evidence?"

"What a mess!" Hu Xin'er said in embarrassment. "Don't lead the child astray."

Seeing her face full of nervousness, even her cheeks were flushed pink, Mu Qing was startled: "What are you thinking about?"

Hu Xin'er said unhappily, "I should be the one asking this question... Ugh!"

With her lips blocked, Mu Qing treated her with a hint of punishment, his eyes filled with jealousy: "You also know that you are a mother? Why don't you hand over the bell quickly!"

Hu Xin'er was stunned by the kiss, and a question mark slowly appeared in her mind.

What the hell?

Seeing her looking at him with eyes wide open, Mu Qing simply covered her eyes and hardened his heart: "Don't always try to get away with it by acting like a spoiled child."

Hu Xiner: “Mmmmm!”

She wanted to cry but had no tears. She was just complaining to Erdong, so why did he act like a spoiled child?

Mu Qing threatened: "If you don't hand over the bell, I will—"

In broad daylight, he kissed again and again in the carriage, the horse galloped in front, the wind blew the curtains, and the mountains and rivers outside were looming.

Hu Xin'er was so ashamed and angry after being kissed that even though her voice was very low, she was still afraid that the coachman outside would hear or see it.

She quickly begged for mercy: "Stop kissing! Just take what you want."

Mu Qing chuckled: "Take it yourself?"

Hu Xin'er shuddered: "I, I, I, I'll get it myself! Let go of my hand first."
