Chapter 671 Self-Suffering

Hu Xiner's brain froze for three seconds. She knew herself very well. Every time she was immersed in her husband's beauty, she would swallow her saliva.

However, this does not mean that it can be said by others!

Thinking of this, her face flushed: "Mu Qing, get out of here——"

The curtain of a carriage traveling on the road was suddenly lifted, and a masked young man who looked like a god was kicked out. This funny scene made many people look sideways.

Mu Qing returned to his usual aloof demeanor, casually pushed the coachman aside, and pulled the reins of the carriage.

The streets are bustling with people, lively and noisy.

He calmly glanced at the rooftop next to him and saw a man with a silver crown and white hair, wearing a black robe, and waving a fan in his hand in frustration.

Yin Li stood on the roof. She had just been rejected by Zhao Yunxuan and was now hit again. Her face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Mu Qing's eyes were like sharp arrows, shooting towards the man on the roof. He raised his eyebrows and smiled provocatively, shouting, "Go!"

The reins were swung, and the horse's mane and robe ribbon flew up together. He drove the carriage with high spirits, leaving Yin Li far behind.

Love is love, favor is favor, Yin Li and Zhao Yunxuan have indeed helped him many times, but this does not mean that he will give in in the slightest in terms of feelings.

He had been troubled by this before, and felt that since he was firmly with Hu Xiner, he could not accept help from his rival.

Therefore, he didn't like Hu Xin'er to come into contact with those people, and when he was helped, he would feel deeply incompetent.

But now, he has completely let it go. His wife is extremely charming. It is their own business if someone comes forward to help. It is useless to refuse. He only needs to repay this kindness when he can.

But if they want to use this as a threat to compete with him for Hu Xiner, then no matter when or where, there will be only one answer.

That is, they don't stand a chance.

No matter if it was Yin Li, Zhao Yunxuan, or anyone else, as long as they dared to get close, he would blind them with the love between husband and wife!

Yin Li was so angry that she squatted on the eaves, and she didn't feel sorry at all that her black robe was stained by tiles.

"Damn it." He gritted his teeth and said, "How come one or two of them suddenly came to their senses?"

One is the predestined relationship from the previous life, the other is the husband of this life.

The burden of the dignified Pavilion Master Yin kidnapping Hu Xin'er seemed to have become even more difficult...

After returning to the Lu family, Hu Xiner was still angry. She got off the carriage and walked towards the room without paying any attention to Mu Qing.

Mu Qing smiled and was not angry, which made the servants in the mansion marvel.

The eldest young master hasn't been this happy for a long time since the old lady passed away. I don't know what good news he got when he went out today.

Before Hu Xin'er left, she suddenly remembered something and asked Xiao Liu beside her, "By the way, where's the Second Young Master? Is he still kneeling in the mourning hall?"

Xiao Liu had just followed them out, so of course she didn't know. The maid next to her replied crisply, "Yes, Madam, the Second Young Master didn't even have dinner today."

"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Hu Xin'er couldn't help but shake her head. "Yun Jue is such a grown-up, how come he doesn't know how to take care of himself?"

Mu Qing frowned upon hearing this and whispered to Hu Xin'er, "After the last breakdown of the talks with the Du family, he hasn't recovered from it yet."

It has been more than half a month, but Lu Yunjue is still immersed in self-isolation. Apart from his brother and sister-in-law, he simply doesn't pay attention to anyone. He is like a piece of wood with closed senses, just kneeling quietly in front of his mother's coffin.

The fluttering white banners looked even more desolate in the winter. Thick ashes had accumulated in the brazier. The burning paper money and sparks were the only bright colors in the mourning hall, but they conveyed a deep sorrow.

Hu Xiner couldn't help but sigh in her heart. If Miss Du hadn't objected, letting Yun Jue get married as soon as possible might indeed be the best choice.

At this moment, in front of the heavy black coffin in the hall, Lu Yunjue was kneeling quietly. From a distance, he looked like a tall pine or bamboo, which made people forget the world. However, when looking closely, one could see the haggardness and fatigue on his face.

Just by looking at his expression, anyone could tell that this man was on the verge of collapse, holding on only by his last breath.

"Why do you have to torture yourself?" Mu Qing felt as if his heart was being tightened when he saw his brother's appearance.

The high spirits I had just felt fell heavily to the ground, making it hard to breathe.

After his mother passed away, he took on the burden of being the eldest brother. The only thing he was worried about now was his younger brother, but Lu Yunjue treated him like this, which made him both sad for his misfortune and angry at his lack of fighting spirit.

He couldn't help but say, "If you're really that sad, why don't you go find Miss Du and explain it clearly? I think in this situation, you're going to die from your own torture before the poison even attacks!"

Lu Yunjue turned his head stiffly. He didn't expect his brother to say that to him.

After a while, he laughed at himself and said, "Brother is right, I am indeed a coward."

"Yun Jue, even though your brother's tone was a little off, he was telling the truth." Hu Xin'er said distressedly, "You know, we'll be leaving Qingzhou in three days. If we don't say some things now, it will be too late."

What? Three days?

Lu Yunjue's heart was shocked. He originally thought that he could at least stay in Qingzhou City and watch that person get married, have children, and live happily from afar.

But now...it's impossible after all.

After personally rejecting the marriage proposal with Miss Du, he originally thought that he had given up hope. However, it was not until the news of the impending separation came that he realized that his heart could actually be even more painful.

Miss Du is the only woman in this world who can see his ugly appearance without being disgusted...

Seeing this, the couple could understand his feelings.

"My mother's body..." Lu Yunjue said awkwardly. He forced himself not to think about that person anymore.

Before this, it was Mr. Du who found Jiang Yao's whereabouts in the martial arts world, and informed her of Lu's mother's death, asking her to come back quickly.

Hu Xin'er thought for a moment and said, "In her suicide note, my mother said she didn't want to be buried underground. So we'll have her cremated and keep her ashes with us."

This idea had been discussed by several people before, and there was no objection.

The only question is when to cremate him.

"Once my aunt hears the news, she will definitely rush here day and night. We must first go to the Du family to ask where my aunt is. If she comes quickly, we will wait a little longer." Mu Qing said.

He exchanged a glance with Hu Xin'er, then slowly said, "We're going to the Du family to inquire about Aunt Du's whereabouts and to say goodbye. Even if the marriage doesn't work out, the friendship between our two families remains, so you have to go there tomorrow."
