Chapter 553 Winter Night Fireworks

Hu Xin'er was extremely helpless.

How could she have the nerve to go and complain about something like this?

At night, as expected, she was taken advantage of by her husband again. The situation was fine, but her hands were sore and she fell asleep as soon as she was tired.

But not long after I fell asleep, I heard the sound of fireworks.

"Swish!" Outside the Lu family's door, firework tubes were lined up in a row, bursting into dazzling fireworks in the silent and cold night sky.

"Who the hell is so wicked? Setting off fireworks in the middle of the night?" Although this place was remote, there were still several neighbors nearby. Immediately, the hot-tempered male owner kicked the door open and cursed.

But when he opened his eyes and saw the scene in front of him, he was dumbfounded.

"You...you are not from the Du family..." He shivered in the cold wind, shocked and nervous, and stuttered so hard that he couldn't speak.

"I'm so sorry. Our young lady has taken a fancy to Mr. Lu Er, so she expressed her love to win his heart. I'm really sorry to bother you all today!" Hu Lao San was holding a red brocade bag in his hand, and he looked very happy. As he spoke, he stuffed silver into the hand of the male host.

When the man touched the white silver, he felt a warmth in his heart even though he was only wearing his shirt and his hands were frozen.

Oh my god! They usually say that when a fire breaks out in a city, everyone in the pond will be affected. When Miss Du goes out to hunt for beauties, everyone will be on high alert.

But now it was Miss Du who visited the Lu Mansion for the third time, and the onlookers made money.

This...if you think of it this way, it means sending warmth during the winter solstice.

He held the silver in his hand and said with a silly smile: "Thank you, Miss Du. I wish you and the Second Young Master a happy marriage and a son soon!"

Hu Laosan was delighted when he heard this: "You are really good at talking. Come, take some more copper coins!"

The sound of fireworks went off one after another, bang bang bang, disturbing everyone's peace and quiet. Hu Xin'er complained, "Husband! Can you go out and see what's going on?"

How dare Mu Qing disobey the lady's order? He immediately jumped out of the courtyard wall, without even passing the gate, and saw the joyful scene at the door at a glance.

Seeing that it was Miss Du, he frowned and went back into the house: "Yun Jue and the others should be able to handle this matter, you can go to sleep peacefully first."

"The sound of fireworks outside won't stop for a while. How can I sleep?" Hu Xiner was still sleepy and felt a little aggrieved.

Mu Qing pulled her into his arms and coaxed her, "It's okay as long as Yun Jue goes out. We won't be angry."

"Wait..." Hu Xin'er's emotions gradually calmed down in her husband's arms, and she suddenly realized something was wrong. "Why do you keep emphasizing the Cloud Technique? I'm afraid that person outside isn't Miss Du?"

Mu Qing's expression froze.

"It's her?" Hu Xin'er's voice suddenly rose, then dropped, her whole body filled with the enthusiasm of eating melons. "Miss Du came to our door in the middle of the night to set off fireworks and propose to Yun Jue?"

Mu Qing originally didn't want his wife to worry about this, but seeing that he couldn't hide it, he nodded: "Last time, she clearly said that she would not bother Yun Jue anymore, but I don't know why... Hey, my wife, what are you doing?"

Hu Xin'er immediately broke free from her husband's embrace and went to look for clothes while stomping on her shoes. "Such a big thing, of course I have to go and see the excitement... Ahem, no, they say an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. As his sister-in-law, how can I not go and give my brother-in-law some advice?"

Mu Qing didn't quite understand where her sudden enthusiasm came from.

Hu Xiner thought about it and felt that it seemed inappropriate for her to go out alone with a big belly.

This makes her seem too gossipy, which damages her lofty image in the entire Lu Mansion.

She then fastened the horse mask on her body while urging him, "Hurry up and pack your things. You... you help me get out together to prevent me from getting into any accidents."

Mu Qing couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard this. Miss Du usually did things in a disorganized manner and seemed frivolous and artificial. What if his beloved wife went out to watch the fun and was bumped into?

He immediately advised: "My wife, it's cold and slippery outside, why don't we not go out."

Hu Xin'er begged, "I haven't seen something this exciting in a long time. Can you just go with me and take a look? I'll just watch from a distance."

Seeing his wife's cheeks puffed up, Mu Qing said helplessly and lovingly, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."

The couple walked to the door, and Hu Xiner, holding her husband's hand, walked to the front line of the melon-eating area.

Lu Yunjue had been woken up long ago and was looking at Miss Du with a frown and displeasure.

"See, I told you that Yun Jue would come out and solve it." Mu Qing whispered, carefully protecting his wife.

Hu Xin'er held the opposite view: "Let's wait and see. If he had been able to harden his heart and directly refuse, this wouldn't have happened."

Her eyes suddenly fixed and she walked to the wall.

You don't know until you see it. When you look, you will find that the wall is covered with big red words. Under the light of the fireworks at night, it looks even more eerie.

The handwriting on it was very neat, and seemed to be a woman's hairpin-shaped small calligraphy. It probably said something like "Second Young Master of the Lu family, please give up your resistance and marry me as soon as possible", and praised Lu Yunjue for his good looks and good temper, making him the most suitable candidate for a son-in-law.

Mu Qing shook his head after reading it. "This Miss Du really doesn't care about other people's thoughts at all. She bought the yard next to ours and never worried about the melon field and plum blossoms. But she also wrote on our wall so blatantly, it's simply..."

Before he finished speaking, Hu Xin'er quietly commented, "Writing red words for the upcoming Lunar New Year does have a festive meaning, but the overall effect is rather bland. It's quite eye-catching at night, but a bit creepy."

"Xin'er." Mu Qing was helpless and didn't understand why his wife was so abnormal today.

Hu Xin'er winked at him playfully: "Hey, don't you really think your brother has been acting strangely these past few days?"

Mu Qing was stunned. It seemed that there was something abnormal about it.

However, the brothers usually don't like to express their inner feelings directly, so they have very little time to interact with each other. At most, they just say hello and practice martial arts together in the morning.

"He seems a little absent-minded in his martial arts training recently." Mu Qing pondered, and seemed to understand something in his heart.

Hu Xin'er chuckled: "If I'm not mistaken, all these abnormalities started after that tunnel trip, right?"

Mu Qing thought for a moment, "It's true that his moves have deteriorated since returning from the clinic. Could it be that the toxins he inhaled in the tunnel haven't completely dissipated yet?"

"Oh, you blockhead!" Hu Xin'er cursed in his ear angrily, "You usually talk about love so eloquently, why are you so slow to react now?"
