Chapter 158 Unable to Hold the Pen
Mu Qing glanced at Xuanyuan Jing'an indifferently, and the latter immediately let go and grabbed his clothes instead.
With red eyes, he begged: "Master, please let Master's wife go play with me!"
Wow, I just said Hu Xiner was a bad woman, and now she has become my master's wife!
"This is Lord Liu's family's banquet, how can you be so careless and make trouble?" Mu Qing flatly refused.
"Hmph! Master is biased!" Jing'an withdrew his hand and folded his arms across his chest angrily. "I don't want to play with you anymore!"
"You also know that I am your master's wife, why don't you show me some respect?" Hu Xin'er didn't tolerate him and directly grabbed his ear.
Jing'an was so angry that he screamed and raised his foot to kick Hu Xiner.
Mu Qing's eyes were slightly cold, and Xuanyuan Jing'an suddenly felt a chill behind him. He stood there with a pout, feeling aggrieved, and his head tilted as Hu Xin'er pulled his ear.
"Your master's wife is right. You're not a child anymore. You should know a little bit about the ways of the world."
After Mu Qing finished speaking, Jing'an felt even more aggrieved, but she didn't dare to struggle. Her lips were pouted high, and her chubby little face was puffed up.
Hu Xiner was surprised that the master and disciple got along so naturally, but she felt more happy.
Every thing has its nemesis, and Jing'an has finally met its nemesis.
She hasn't forgotten how this kid tormented her when she first entered the Duke's Mansion!
"Look closely, you're quite cute!" She bent down with a smile on her face and teased Xuanyuan Jing'an.
"Take your dirty hands off me!" Jing'an yelled. As a little bully, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Hu Xin'er's ear was right next to his mouth, and she shuddered at the sound of his voice. She complained to Mu Qing speechlessly, "I don't know how you can stand a brat like him!"
Mu Qing said coldly, "Jing'an, don't be rude."
Xuanyuan Jing'an's eyes were red, and it was unclear whether he was angry or wronged. He pursed his lips and whispered, "Master is biased and has no loyalty at all!"
Hu Xin'er was already prepared for him to run and complain.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qing pulled him aside and talked to him for a while, and his emotions gradually calmed down.
"Although this little devil is noisy, he is very loyal. Since he became my disciple, he has been very diligent and obedient. Although he has a bad temper, he has a good heart." After explaining the reason, Mu Qing led him over and explained to Hu Xiner.
In fact, he didn't need to say anything. Looking at his expression and attitude, Hu Xin'er had guessed about 80% of it.
Mu Qing must have developed some feelings for Jing'an after spending so much time with him these days, which is why he was willing to patiently say so many things to him.
Jing'an was immediately filled with pride when he heard his usually cold master praising him: "Once a teacher, always a father. I am very kind to my master!"
Hu Xin'er almost burst out laughing: "My husband suddenly has a son? How come I didn't know?"
Mu Qing also frowned: "Don't speak nonsense."
"I was telling the truth." Xuanyuan Jing'an imitated his master and put on a stern face.
Hu Xiner couldn't help laughing and rubbed his face. Speaking of which, Jing'an's parents have never shown up in the Duke's Mansion for so long.
I'll have to ask the princess someday if there's any inside story.
"Don't touch me." Jing'an frowned as she was ravaged by him, but he didn't resist as fiercely as before. "Master's wife, I will be a good boy from now on. Don't take this opportunity to bully me!"
Hu Xiner was stunned. Is this still the same little bully?
Jing'an took the opportunity to break free from her clutches and pressed her face tightly against Mu Qing to prevent Hu Xin'er from making a sneak attack.
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, looking slightly disgusted: "We are about to leave, and it's time for you to go to the Duke and the others."
The little maid next to Jing'an said timidly: "Yes, young master."
"No! I don't want anyone else to lead me!" Jing'an insisted on following the male protagonist like a little follower, twisting her body around.
Mu Qing's face was full of disgust: "Don't act like a spoiled child!"
Jing'an snorted, stood up obediently, and had a tense face.
Hu Xin'er and the little maid were ashamed.
Jing'an has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and since he is young, he doesn't know how to control his strength. Only Mu Qing can tolerate such coquettishness.
If Hu Xin'er was pushed like this by him, she would probably be pushed away.
Under Jing'an's persuasion, the two had no choice but to follow Jing'an.
Hu Xiner saw the male lead holding the baby, and he looked like a real dad. She couldn't help but imagine what he would be like as a father...
He is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He is so patient even with Jing'an. He should be even more gentle with their two children, right?
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Qing thought Hu Xin'er was jealous and pulled her hand.
Hu Xiner blushed. In fact, when she was in modern times, although she liked children very much, she never thought about having children.
Giving birth is so painful, recovering from childbirth is difficult, stretch marks, body shape changes, and the impact on career...
But after meeting Mu Qing, having a child seemed to become a natural thing.
Ultimately, it was Mu Qing who gave her enough sense of security.
Jing'an tilted his head and looked at the two of them in confusion.
I feel like the atmosphere between my master and his wife is weird. Are they practicing some unique martial arts?
Lord Liu and General Xuanyuan did not have a close relationship before, but recently Madam Liu has been visiting them frequently, and the two families have become much closer.
When we arrived at the Liu Mansion, although it was not as grand and magnificent as the Duke's Mansion, it was still a place of wealth that ordinary people could not afford.
Lord Liu actually came to the door to greet him. At that time, most men considered it beautiful to have a beard, and Lord Liu had a beautiful beard.
General Xuanyuan and Lord Liu exchanged various pleasantries.
Although Hu Xin'er knew about this aesthetic trend, it was the first time she heard someone praise a beard in person, and she felt like laughing.
The Duke's wife and Madam Liu were also being touted in various commercial ways, and between the lines it was revealed that they were trying to act as a matchmaker between the second young lady and his son.
When Hu Xiner heard this, she couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Huili. Although she hated her, it was also pitiful for women in ancient times to have their marriages arranged by their families.
Xuanyuan Huili naturally understood the implication of the Duke's wife's words. She quietly asked her, "Mother, didn't you promise to help me marry Lu Yunjue?"
The Duke's wife said helplessly, "Don't mention it. Your father has been scolding me every day lately! He doesn't want you to marry Lu Yunjue. You'd better change your mind, otherwise he will divorce me, your mother!"
He turned around and was very affectionate towards Madam Liu, which made Hu Xiner sigh.
As expected, people with a little power and influence all behave like two-faced people.
Even the wife of the Duke of Lian Guo acted like a noble lady from the capital in front of others.
The second young lady immediately twisted her handkerchief and got angry, but she had always been weak and did not dare to lose her temper in front of the Duke, so she could only force a smile.
After dinner, Madam Liu deliberately said, "I heard that the second young lady is good at poetry and painting. Why not show her some?"
The second young lady was feeling resentful, so she deliberately said, "I'm so sorry, I've been catching a cold lately, and I'm feeling weak all over, so I can't hold the brush."
