"Comics? What are comics?"
"You wouldn't know, would you? Miss Hu's storybooks always sell out!"

Chapter 645: Little Drunkard
I just don’t know why Zhao Yunxuan, who is so powerful, looks so sickly?
With Zhao Yunxuan's testimony, Mr. Du finally accepted the fact reluctantly, but he became even more angry.
He was so angry that his fingertips were shaking: "You, you think the Du family wants to get close to you? Daughter, we don't want to be the kind of people who try to get close to the rich and powerful. Let's go!"
Du Xiaoqin, who was standing next to her, exchanged glances with her mother, said nothing more, and silently followed Mr. Du's steps.
In fact, if they had known the Lu family's identity earlier, they would never have mentioned becoming one family.
Because, although they are just gangsters, they have their own character and will not want to cling to anyone.
But the Lu family is now clearly guarding against them, but they have actually caused them some serious harm.
It's like a sincere and hot heart being crushed by a cold blade.
They were all very angry and walked very fast. Before Hu Xiner could finish her explanation, they had already reached the gate.
She had no choice but to quickly say, "Husband, Yun Jue, stop them quickly!"
Seeing the situation had become what it was, the two brothers could only bite the bullet and explain, "Please don't misunderstand me. We refuse your friendship because we've offended so many people and have fled here, and we're worried about implicating you."
Mr. Du didn't even look at him.
Miss Du bit her lip and said, "There's no need to explain, gentlemen. We all understand."
If there is someone in this world who dares to go against the royal princess, wouldn't it be chaos?
Therefore, they did not believe the Lu family's explanation at all.
Mu Qing simply told the whole truth: "This is a long story. We offended the former crown prince and the daughter of the Liu family. My mother was harmed by them, so she fell into a coma in her room!"
Seeing that his expression did not seem fake, Mr. Du looked at Zhao Yunxuan suspiciously.
Zhao Yunxuan stood beside Hu Xin'er and said with a gentle smile, "Your Majesty is right. I have come here with an important mission, which is to bring the princess back to the capital."
Hu Xiner and others repeatedly assured that they had absolutely no intention of despising the Du family, which successfully calmed Mr. Du down.
Grandpa Du snorted lightly, "You want to distance yourself from us because of such a small matter? Don't you look down on me and think that our Lu family can't handle it?"
As he spoke, he walked inside and did not forget to greet Hu Xiner: "It's cold outside, don't let the child get cold, let's go back and talk."
The two families finally sat down at a table in peace again, and the servants made them some hot tea again.
"Let's take care of the wound on Miss Du's face first." Hu Xiner said with concern.
Miss Du didn't care at all: "It's okay, the Zhou family has already applied the best medicine on my face."
Mrs. Du only then remembered to care about her daughter's injuries: "My dear daughter, are you injured anywhere else? Have you suffered any hardship in the Zhou family?"
Miss Du concealed the fact that she was slapped: "They wanted to, but I had already secretly hidden the medicine and captured Miss Zhou while she was changing her face."
She raised her eyebrows with some pride: "If I hadn't escaped from the tunnel in time, those officers and soldiers wouldn't have been able to find me."
Hu Xin'er suddenly realized: "No wonder Yun Jue couldn't find you the two times he went there before. You are indeed in the tunnel..."
Miss Du raised the corners of her lips when she heard that, and glanced at Lu Yunjue pretending to be nonchalant.
But the latter turned his head slightly, his face was cold as ice, but his ears were actually red.
Mr. Du did not notice that his daughter was not right. Instead, he thanked Zhao Yunxuan again, said goodbye and took his family back.
Hu Xiner originally wanted to invite them to have dinner, but Mr. Du refused, saying that although he was not imprisoned for long, he still had some things to deal with at home.
Zhao Yunxuan had been traveling day and night these days, and his already weak body became even more exhausted. He sent his subordinates to deal with the affairs of the Shen and Zhou families, and also sent half a team of elite soldiers to take care of the Lu family.
He then offered his leave, "Originally, I should have stayed by the princess's side, but... ahem, I'm a little unwell. I'm afraid I might pass my illness on to the princess, and I need to attend to other matters, so I'll be staying at the Shen family for now."
"Zhou Chenghe is still on the run. As for Prefect Shen and Miss Zhou... I wonder how you plan to deal with them?" Hu Xiner asked.
Zhao Yunxuan bowed and said, "Of course, we will first put them in jail, investigate their crimes one by one, and then punish them according to the law."
The mere threat to the princess's life was enough to have their entire family executed.
Hu Xiner nodded, finally feeling relieved.
The Lu family finally returned to its former tranquility, although the identities of the Lu family members were not told to other servants, only a few close confidants knew about it.
However, the servants all had eyes. It was obvious that Lord Zhao, who led the troops, had a past relationship with their master, and he immediately used thundering means to deal with the Shen and Zhou families.
Being able to join such a powerful master is a great honor even for a servant.
That night, the couple arranged for Lu Yunjue to have a good rest, and they served Lu's mother in her room as usual.
In the warm room, Hu Xin'er nestled in Mu Qing's arms and yawned. "The past few days have been full of ups and downs. It's so refreshing to be able to help the Du family solve their crisis and eradicate the cancer in Qingzhou. If I weren't worried about the baby, I would really like to drink a couple of pots of good wine."
I vaguely remember that when she was in a bad mood, she often drank a little wine to relieve her boredom, but since she became pregnant, she rarely did so.
Mu Qing smiled slightly and said, "After the baby is born, I will drink with you."
"I still have to recuperate after childbirth." Hu Xin'er hit him. "You grown men don't give birth, so how can you understand the pain of pregnancy? And I have to breastfeed the baby. Can I drink alcohol?"
She actually didn't quite understand this knowledge. After all, even before she traveled through time, she was still a virgin.
She muttered, "Looks like I need to find some more books to read, or ask a doctor."
Mu Qing rubbed her head and said, "Don't ask. I've read the child-rearing manual in the Imperial Study and the books in the Ten Thousand Volumes Pavilion. You can't breastfeed while drinking."
Hu Xin'er rolled her eyes and said, "Since you know that, why did you say you would drink with me? Well, you're bullying me because I don't understand, and you're deliberately trying to coax me, right?"
Mu Qing laughed grimly: "I thought you wanted to raise the baby into a drunkard."
"Who would do this? Mu Qing! This is your own child!" Hu Xin'er leaned over and pinched his face hard, "Can you please be more careful?"
Mu Qing's heart softened as she thought of the baby's adorable appearance in the future. Even when her face was pinched, she couldn't help but smile: "Snacks? What snacks? I will definitely make lots of delicious snacks for the baby in the future."
