"The market is open today, new comics are out!"
"Comics? What are comics?"
"You wouldn't know, would you? Miss Hu's storybooks always sell out!"

Chapter 64 Moving
Mu Qing looked over in confusion and silently clenched Hu Xiner's hand.
Erdong guessed, "Is it because of your elder sister?"
"Yes and no." Hu Xin'er sorted out her thoughts. "Hu Rong'er and the Luo family have been coming to my house to cause trouble. I'm really overwhelmed by them. I can't even do business properly. And then there's the assassin who chased me home..."
When she said this, she looked at Mu Qing's face and said, "I feel this place is very unsafe. I want to move somewhere else."
As long as he stayed in Shuangxi Village, he would never be able to get rid of the Hu family, and the Luo family was even more of a local tyrant. After several clashes in recent days, the hatred had become deeper and deeper.
If you can't run your business well, you'll end up eating up all your savings. She still understands the truth that poverty brings sorrow to a couple.
Besides, there's a saying that goes, "A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days." He had indeed promised Mu Qing that he would live a simple life with him, but staying here would only lead to endless rumors, frame-ups, and malicious intent.
After she finished her explanation, she looked at Mu Qing anxiously: "What do you think?"
Erdong raised his hand in agreement: "It's better to go out. This place is too small and life is boring."
Mu Qing just remained silent.
Hu Xin'er bit her lip slowly and said, "I know you have many concerns. Otherwise, just take your time and don't rush to move."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Erdong waved goodbye.
The advertising shop wouldn't be open to anyone for a while, so they both stayed home all afternoon. But compared to the sweet atmosphere in the morning, I felt a sense of emptiness inside.
Finally, Hu Xiner lost her patience and said, "Some orders haven't been completed yet. I'm going to the study."
Mu Qing wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he just looked at her back and sighed.
Hu Xiner hid in the study to draw flyers, but she was so upset that she couldn't draw anything.
Mu Qing was washing clothes, looking towards the study from time to time.
At dusk, Mu Qing came to the study: "Xin'er, I have prepared the meal for you."
Hu Xin'er raised her head sensitively: "Aren't you going to eat at home? What are you going out for?"
Mu Qing rubbed her head tiredly. "If we want to leave, we'll have to sell our house and shop here. I need to find someone to inquire about the market price."
"You agreed?" Hu Xin'er showed a look of surprise, "Are you really willing to move out with me?"
Mu Qing caught a glimpse of the messy paintings on the table from the corner of his eye, and he knew how uneasy Hu Xiner had been that afternoon.
However, no matter how worried she was, she was willing to consider his opinion as much as possible.
"I'm just going to take a look. We just bought the house and the shop. It would be a shame to sell them off." He took Hu Xin'er's hand, looking hesitant. "If I don't agree, will you be determined to move there alone?"
"Of course not. If you don't want to, I will stay with you in Shuangxi Village." Hu Xiner was afraid that Mu Qing would misunderstand.
"Aren't you afraid of the killer?" Mu Qing raised one hand and scratched her nose with his index finger.
Hu Xin'er was a little embarrassed: "That's still a little scary."
Mu Qing laughed: "I'm leaving."
"It's so late now, why don't you go tomorrow? Erdong should be at home these days anyway, and he's the expert on the real estate market." Hu Xiner shook his hand.
This action was similar to acting like a spoiled child, causing Mu Qing to hesitate for a moment: "It's better to finish this matter as soon as possible."
"...Okay." Hu Xin'er agreed reluctantly. She was a little scared. Staying here alone, what if the killer came again?
And why do you have to go out in the middle of the night when it comes to the house and shop matters?
But she keenly felt that even if she asked these questions, Mu Qing would just evade them vaguely as before.
All the doubts in my heart finally turned into a sigh: "No matter what happens, you will stay by my side, right?"
Mu Qing was already prepared for her questioning. He was a little surprised when he heard it, and his eyes softened instantly.
He put his arms around Hu Xin'er: "Of course, we are husband and wife."
Then he walked out resolutely. Before leaving, he thought for a moment and took out his dagger for self-defense and placed it on the table: "Hide this dagger for self-defense. I will be back soon."
Hu Xin'er didn't accept it: "The assassin is not coming for me. You are in greater danger outside."
But Mu Qing walked out without looking back.
Looking at his back, Hu Xin'er's hands drooped weakly, her eyes complicated. Although they were married, the mysteries surrounding this man were increasing, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to see clearly.
Mu Qing always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He turned around suddenly and saw that Hu Xin'er had put on an innocent smile when he turned around.
"I'll wait for you to come back." Hu Xiner said this and then realized that this sentence was a bit like a flag.
A woman's intuition made her feel vaguely worried, but she didn't know where this worry came from.
The courtyard was brightly lit.
Mu Qing went out to find Erdong. The door of the courtyard was open and Erdong was sitting inside.
This was very abnormal, as Erdong would usually stick to Mu Qing whenever there was something he needed.
Mu Qing hadn't expected that Erdong would kneel down on one knee and bow as soon as they met: "Please return to the capital as soon as possible! His Majesty is waiting for you!"
My status is so noble that even the emperor has to wait? Mu Qing himself was a little surprised, and said in a gentle tone: "You get up first."
Erdong stood up and closed the door. "When are you planning to return to Beijing?"
"I had a brain injury before, and my memory is confused." Mu Qing pointed to his head, "I can't remember the past very clearly."
"What? Are you kidding me?" Erdong didn't expect this result, because judging from Mu Qing's usual attitude, the tone between them was that of a typical boss treating a subordinate, no different from before he lost his memory.
But it makes sense when you think about it. Before he lost his memory, Mu Qing had never been so considerate and gentle to anyone.
He even risked his life for a village woman.
Erdong admitted that Hu Xiner was a very special girl. Her novel ideas, bravery and tenacity... made it difficult for anyone who had in-depth contact with her not to be fascinated by her.
But if it were him, or any other powerful young man in the capital, they would definitely not treat Hu Xiner as meticulously as Mu Qing treats her, even taking care of the little things in life.
Mu Qing confessed, "Every word I said is true."
"Then we must hurry back to the capital and invite a famous doctor." Erdong woke up from his distraction. "His Majesty values you so much, he will definitely send an imperial physician to carefully diagnose and treat you."
He suddenly remembered Mu Qing's amnesia: "By the way, your previous name was..."
Mu Qing waved his hand: "I don't want to listen."
Erdong almost choked to death: "Why is this?"
"Because no matter what my previous identity was, I don't want to accept it now." When Mu Qing said this, his aura suddenly changed.
"No matter what your purpose is, you'd better not appear around me again."
