Chapter 719: Getting down to business

After changing the diaper, Hu Xiner picked up her silly son.

When the little boy saw his mother, he danced with joy. She held him in her arms and walked around the room. Just this simple action made him giggle.

Mu Qing felt a little jealous and couldn't help but come over: "Now he's white and plump, much prettier than when he was born."

Hu Xin'er snorted softly, "Little Dumpling, ignore your father. He's a real scoundrel. He even wanted to paint your embarrassing scene in his painting. Luckily, mother stopped him."

Little Dumpling is very close to his father. He is in his mother's arms, but his little head is trying hard to get close to his father.

Mu Qing also enjoyed his son's closeness and teased Hu Xin'er: "Little Tuanzi is really sensible. He knows how to feel sorry for his father, unlike your mother~"

"When have I not felt sorry for you?" Hu Xin'er said angrily, "Don't say such things in front of the child. What if he gets scared?"

Mu Qing felt helpless and doting. Wasn't she the woman who had just quarreled with him in front of Xiaotuanzi?

After the little boy finished peeing, he stayed in his mother's arms for a while, then suddenly arched his body and asked for milk.

Mu Qing didn't know what he was going to do for a moment, so he approached curiously and asked, "Why isn't he looking at me?"

As soon as they got together, their eyes were fixed on a certain place and they couldn't move away.

Hu Xiner clearly saw that his Adam's apple moved secretly twice.

Her pretty face immediately turned red, and she pushed Mu Qing: "Hey, go away first, I want to feed the little dumpling..."

The unspoken meaning is self-evident.

Mu Qing's eyes flashed, and he wanted to ask something else.

Hu Xin'er exploded: "Don't ask anything, don't say anything, don't pollute my son's pure heart!"

"Bang!" The door was slammed shut. Mu Qing stood outside the door and touched his nose, feeling quite desolate.

"Xin'er, open the door?" he coaxed attentively, "We are an old couple, what can't we see? I miss my son, I want to see little Tuanzi."

Hu Xin'er's gnashing voice came from inside the door: "Can't you come at another time?"

Mu Qing said softly: "I..."

"Shut up!" Hu Xin'er said angrily, "If you keep talking nonsense in front of people outside, you'll sleep in the study tonight."

Mu Qing felt humiliated and could only turn around in disappointment, staring blankly at the fine snow outside.

"Isn't it just that when my son was eating, I also took a couple of bites?" He looked puzzled, but the smile on the corner of his lips couldn't hide his sinister nature. "You got angry over such a small thing. My wife is really cute."

Inside the door, the wet nurse and Xiao Liu looked at each other and laughed.

Xiao Liu laughed so hard that tears welled up in her eyes. "Young Master is usually very capable and adept at both literature and martial arts outside, but just now, Madam, you were kicked out directly. Madam, you are truly amazing and brave!"

The wet nurse also laughed heartily: "Men should not be spoiled! Madam, you really know how to control your husband. Mr. Lu is known for being aloof and noble outside, but he hangs around you all day long. The couple is so in love that it makes people envious."

Hu Xin'er felt a little embarrassed by their teasing: "How can I say I'm good at controlling my husband? It's obvious that I'm two-faced in front of others and behind their backs. Last time..."

He dresses neatly in front of others and acts as if he doesn't want to be approached or insulted.

But after she fell in love with him, he turned into a big bad wolf, wanting to eat her up all the time!

She fell silent in the middle of her words, and her face turned even redder. In order to feed her baby with breast milk, she fed it directly to the little dumpling. But Mu Qing, that shameless man, kept surrounding her and asking about her well-being. In the end, he even tasted it himself and said that it was indeed sweet?

Later, she would feed the baby in hiding, but although the little one was full, she felt bloated and painful. She had no choice but to ask the wet nurse in the team quietly, and the wet nurse said that it would be fine if she just massaged and fed the baby more.

Somehow Mu Qing heard this, and whenever he caught her, he would ask her if she wanted a massage.

Although... although he really seemed to want to relieve some of her pain, when that peerless face came close to her with a focused expression, she always swallowed her saliva in a cowardly manner.

After swallowing his saliva, Mu Qing said that she was moved and had to follow the lady's wishes to win her back!

It was because of so many previous experiences that she was able to kick Mu Qing out in time today!

After a while, Hu Xiner walked out of the room as if nothing had happened, her clothes neatly tidied.

Mu Qing was standing in the corridor with his hands behind his back watching the snow. He turned around and looked back. Behind him, snowflakes were fluttering and plum blossoms were in full bloom.

Amidst the white snow, there was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, and his smiling eyes made people's hearts skip a beat.

"My dear, you've worked hard." He took Hu Xin'er's hand and asked, "Is little Tuanzi asleep?"

Seeing that he was finally back to normal, Hu Xin'er quietly took her hand to test the temperature of his face. After finding that there was nothing wrong, she said with confidence, "You don't know him yet? He loves to sleep after eating and ignores me no matter how I call him."

Mu Qing nodded seriously: "My husband has made note of this. When he grows up, he will definitely seek justice for my wife."

"Forget it then." Hu Xin'er chuckled, "I wouldn't do such a childish thing."

She quietly looked at Mu Qing's profile, and suddenly felt warm in her heart. No matter how chaotic the world was, as long as her family was there, it was her harbor.

However, the warmth only lasted for a short distance. When Mu Qing led her hand into the room, Hu Xin'er realized that she seemed to have been fooled by beauty again.

As for the price...it depends on the mood of a certain big bad wolf.

It is a wonderful thing to curl up in bed after taking a bath in winter. Hu Xiner smelled the soothing scent in the quilt and felt a little drowsy.

Mu Qing kissed her, but after she pushed him away in disgust, he went to the desk to grind ink.

"What are you doing?" Hu Xiner asked with wide eyes.

Mu Qing said gently, "I'm going to write a letter to Qingzhou to inform Yun Jue of our plans."

"Didn't you say that he shouldn't be involved in this matter?" Hu Xiner asked doubtfully.

Mu Qing shook his head. "I've thought about it, and what the Duke said does make sense. This is not only a good opportunity for the Du family and others to display their patriotic ambitions, but also the best time for Yun Jue to personally settle his grudge with the Crown Prince."

The death of Lu's mother taught him a lesson: many things cannot be solved by avoiding them. Only by facing them can one fly against the wind and eliminate all the knots in his heart.

How much humiliation had Lu Yunjue endured at the hands of the deposed crown prince? It could be said that half of the scars in his heart came from his father, Lu, and the other half from the deposed crown prince.

Lu's father is dead and he can no longer pursue him, but if he can completely end things with the deposed prince, it will definitely help Yun Jue to understand his thoughts.

After listening to Mu Qing's explanation, Hu Xin'er also felt that it made sense: "But what if he gets hurt? I'm a little worried."
