Chapter 473 Is it really that obvious?

Hu Xiner suddenly felt like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. No way?

Since getting married, she believed that she had always hidden her love for beautiful women.

But now, why does everyone act like they have seen through her secret?

"You, how could you possibly think that?" She stamped her feet and said, "My love for Mu Qing is unwavering. No one can ever separate us, right, Mu Qing?"

Mu Qing seemed to be lost in thought.

"Hey, what's with that expression on your face?" Hu Xin'er asked suspiciously.

Jiang Yao said quietly, "Girl, your eyes can't lie. When you look at a beautiful woman, there's a light in your eyes. You don't need to deliberately distinguish it."

Hu Xin'er was indignant: "Don't try to sow discord!"

Jiang Yao gave an example, "For example, when you first saw my true face, you admired me from the bottom of your heart, didn't you?"

"Yes, is there?" Hu Xiner's face was full of disbelief.

Taoist Master Yiqing said calmly, "There's nothing shameful about being lustful."

Hu Xin'er's face flushed red as she roared, "I! Am! Not! Lustful!"

How can these people slander others out of thin air?

Mother Lu's voice was gentle, with worry in her eyes: "Xin'er, don't worry."

Hu Xin'er pouted and said, "Mom, please take care of them! They bully me and make fun of me."

Mother Lu said with some embarrassment, "Xin'er, it's normal for people to like beautiful things. You don't have to be ashamed to admit it."

Hu Xin'er was petrified on the spot.

At this point, she no longer hid it and said with some frustration: "Is it really that obvious? I thought I had restrained myself after getting married."

In the past, she would show a crazy look to every handsome guy and beautiful girl, but now, she only does this to her husband, okay?

Mu Qing said gently, "Xin'er has indeed tried very hard."

Jiang Yao said coldly, "But she looks like a lecher when she looks at beautiful women, and she's not shy about it either. Sometimes she even makes a strange expression when she looks at the eldest princess, which makes it hard not to overthink things."

Mother Lu said softly, "When I take Xin'er to banquets on weekdays, Xin'er is always particularly attentive to those beautiful women and keeps saying sweet words to them."

Hu Xin'er was embarrassed: "Really, is it really that exaggerated?"

Mu Qing rubbed her head, his voice becoming gentler: "It's okay, Xin'er."

Hu Xiner began to tremble under her husband's gentle gaze.

"I didn't mean it." She finally gave up struggling and said dejectedly.

After stroking her hair, Mu Qing pinched her face and asked uneasily, "Madam, if you meet someone more beautiful than me in the future, will you be tempted?"

"Absolutely not!" Hu Xin'er quickly assured. "I, I can swear!"

Wow, this is so embarrassing. Is she really a pervert as Taoist Yiqing said?

No, no, no! She is just obsessed with looks.

She defended herself to Mu Qing, "My husband, you have to believe me. I simply like those beautiful people and things. I don't have any other thoughts!"

"Oh~" The others responded meaningfully.

Hu Xin'er was furious and said, "Stop making fun of me! Let's get back to the point. What does this have to do with face-swapping?"

Lu Yunjue explained: "Sister-in-law, Yunjue only considers this as atonement for my deceased father. There is really no need to change my face back."

"But, but when I think about your face on it, I feel uneasy." Hu Xiner said in a low voice.

"But I have a shadow Gu in my body, and I won't live long!" Lu Yunjue was anxious and finally revealed his true feelings.

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that this was his concern.

"So you don't want to replace your face because you're worried about dying early, so that our efforts won't be in vain?" Even someone as cold-hearted as Jiang Yao couldn't help but be moved.

Lu Yunjue's voice was bitter: "For someone like me whose future is uncertain, why would you all go to such great lengths to help me?"

"I'm sorry, Yun Jue," Hu Xin'er said apologetically, "We were only concerned about our reputation, but forgot that the most important thing you need to deal with right now is the Shadow Gu."

Lu Yunjue shook his head slightly: "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I didn't expect you to remove the poison for me."

Mother Lu was already in tears: "Silly child, what are you talking about? If the poison in your body is not removed, how can we feel at ease?"

Lu Yunjue was silent for a moment before finally giving his answer: "This insect is extremely difficult to decipher, but it has several advantages."

"Benefits?" Everyone was surprised.

This shadow Gu has always been beneficial to its owner, but it has no benefit at all to Lu Yunjue. It will only cause him to suffer continuous harm!

Lu Yunjue avoided their gazes and said, "The poison in my body is connected to Liu Se's life. If I die, Liu Se will also lose half of his life."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into deathly silence.

Judging from what Lu Yunjue said, he was actually determined to die.

He wanted to use his own life to severely injure Liu Se, and then give everyone a chance to kill Liu Se!

No wonder he seems to have no interest in anything on a daily basis, no wonder he doesn't even care about his appearance...

He has simply lost all hope in life.

Hu Xin'er hurriedly said, "Yun Jue, how could you think that? Your life is hundreds and thousands of times more precious than that of Liu Se!"

Mother Lu also cried, "Jue'er, I was wrong in the past. I shouldn't have been so obsessed with revenge. As long as you are alive and as long as our family can be reunited, I will not seek revenge!"

The main reason she wanted revenge was that she still had some feelings for Prime Minister Lu, and Liu Se indirectly killed Lu Yunjue.

Under this double blow, she naturally hated Liu Se, who caused all this.

But now she has figured it all out. If she has to lose her son's life again for revenge, she would rather not take revenge!

Hearing this, Lu Yunjue's eyes flashed with surprise: "Mom, but she killed Dad."

"Your father isn't a good guy either. How can he be as important as you?" Mother Lu burst into tears. "Jue'er, mother just wants you to be safe!"

Lu Yunjue asked, with a rare loss of composure, "Are we just going to let this crazy woman Liu Se run free in this world?"

His words seemed to reveal a deep hatred for Liu Se.

God knows how much inhumane torture he suffered after his resurrection.

How could he not hate this?

He even wanted to cut out Liu Se's heart and bones, and was willing to sacrifice his own life for it.

Mother Lu was still trying to persuade her son to let go of his hatred. She was really scared.

Hu Xin'er could understand his thoughts. Her mind raced, and she suddenly said, "Don't worry, Yun Jue. We will definitely avenge this!"

Facing the shocked and puzzled looks of Mother Lu and the others, she said slowly, "However, this must be done after you have removed the poison from your body."
