Chapter 232 Indispensable
In the darkness, Mu Qing's expression could not be seen clearly, but his tone was extremely serious: "Xin'er, I don't really want to divorce you. I just don't want you to get hurt again because of my involvement. Things like today only need to happen once!"
Hu Xin'er had recovered from her anger and naturally understood what he was thinking. She couldn't help but complain, "You usually look smart, but at times like this, you're a complete fool!"
Mu Qing was startled: "Xin'er..."
He wanted to explain further, but Hu Xin'er spoke quickly: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would leave you if I were in danger?"
Mu Qing hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand."
Hu Xin'er said speechlessly, "So, even if I divorce you a thousand or ten thousand times, I will never leave you! Just like you said, we are one and the same. How can a piece of thin paper separate us?"
Mu Qing thought she didn't understand what he meant, so he explained, "I wanted to say it's a fake divorce..."
Hu Xin'er interrupted directly: "It's easy to fake a divorce, but the prince is so cunning. What if he still takes me hostage? If I'm not at the Lu Mansion at that time, it will be even more dangerous!"
Mu Qing was about to say something, but Hu Xin'er held up a finger and blocked his mouth. "I was caught this time largely because I was caught off guard. I didn't expect the Crown Prince to act so brazenly. I will never let the Crown Prince succeed again!"
Mu Qing held her fingers: "But I feel sorry for you."
Hu Xin'er rolled her eyes. "You feel sorry for me, but don't I feel sorry for you? As soon as you're in danger, you want to divorce me. It's obvious that you don't regard me as a real family member."
Mu Qing proposed a fake divorce to protect her, not because he really wanted his wife to be angry with him. He quickly said, "How could that be? You are an indispensable part of our family."
Hu Xin'er asked pointedly, "When you are in danger, will you think of severing ties with your mother?"
"How can they be the same?" Mu Qing said without thinking, and was slightly stunned.
Hu Xiner asked again: "If I were in danger and wanted to break up with you, would you leave?"
Mu Qing shook his head firmly.
Hu Xin'er moved to a comfortable position in his arms: "That's it, after all, even if I have to go through fire and water, I will accompany you!"
"Xin'er, now is not the time to be willful." How could Mu Qing not be moved after hearing these words?
But he was really worried that Hu Xiner would get hurt.
After all, Hu Xiner is not a member of the Lu family. They cannot forcibly share their hatred with her, an innocent person, just because Hu Xiner married into their family.
Moreover, it is precisely because Hu Xiner is so warm and kind that everyone likes her and is reluctant to see her get hurt!
Hu Xin'er suddenly clapped her hands: "I know! You just want to fake a divorce with me and marry another woman, right?"
Mu Qing didn't follow her jumping thoughts: "What?"
Hu Xin'er said seriously, "There are so many famous ladies in the capital. The servants at the corner gate told me that every day people from all walks of life send me baskets and baskets of embroidered handkerchiefs, poetry collections, and other things!"
Mu Qing was a little surprised. His wife actually helped him intercept so many things in private?
He actually thought that those ladies had become more restrained after he got married!
Seeing that he was silent, Hu Xin'er originally wanted to pretend to be jealous to divert attention, but now she really felt jealous: "It's because of you, a malevolent man, that I would rather take care of the shop than go to their gatherings!"
When she said this, she fiercely grabbed the soft flesh on Mu Qing's waist and said, "After we get divorced, won't they rush over and eat you up?"
Mu Qing was at a loss for words: "How can it be as exaggerated as you say?"
Hu Xin'er snorted coquettishly, "Anyway, a man as handsome as you, who is both civil and martial, and treats women well, is simply hard to find even with a lantern. I won't let him get away with anything else!"
Mu Qing's explanation was very straightforward: "Don't worry, even if we divorce, I won't marry anyone else."
Hu Xin'er clenched her fists and threatened, "If you dare to mention the word divorce again, I'll really leave!"
Mu Qing quickly hugged her. After Hu Xin'er's reminder, he suddenly felt that it was very unsafe to let his wife go out.
He originally planned to let Hu Xiner leave the capital directly after the divorce.
The emperor is far away and the prince cannot do anything about it. Besides, Jiang Yao and the Taoist priest have people outside to support him.
But my wife is obsessed with looks. What if she gets angry with him and is taken away by another stinky man?
He quickly coaxed her, "How could I bear to see you go? A wife as good as you is hard to find in this world."
Seeing that he had returned to his usual self, Hu Xin'er said, "Don't worry, I won't hold you back again. At worst, I'll just stay in the mansion and not go anywhere. I'll concentrate on taking care of your household affairs and double the Lu Mansion's income!"
This is indeed a safe approach, but Mu Qing felt distressed again: "That would be too unfair to my wife."
If you can’t even go out, you’ll suffocate to death, right?
He is not Lu's father, so how could he bear to imprison Hu Xiner within this courtyard wall?
Hu Xin'er stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Silly boy, look at yourself like this, and you still have the nerve to ask me for a divorce?"
She felt heartbroken on the left and aggrieved on the right, and this was happening right under Mu Qing's nose!
If the two of them really broke up, who knows how they would miss each other! If they were restless every day, wouldn't they be unable to do anything well?
Mu Qing stopped talking about divorce, and the couple bickered for a while. Hu Xin'er suddenly asked hesitantly, "What do you think my aunt is thinking?"
Although she vowed in front of Jiang Yao today that she would sever ties with the eldest princess if necessary.
But the eldest princess is her only best friend in this different world after all, and she always lends a helping hand when she is most helpless and in trouble.
If possible, she didn't want to break off her relationship with the eldest princess because of the crown prince!
Mu Qing said, "You don't have to take your aunt's words to heart. I think she still likes you very much, otherwise she wouldn't have come to me as soon as you were in danger."
Hu Xiner knew that Jiang Yao was not as cold as she appeared, but did Jiang Yao like her?
She was a little flattered.
Mu Qing added, "Don't be afraid. Although my aunt is a tough talker, she's soft-hearted. Many of her words are just threats to scare you. You'll understand after spending more time with her."
Hu Xin'er thought for a moment and asked, "Oh right, she's been hiding, why did she suddenly show up?"
If it's just to pass on a message, wouldn't it be enough to ask someone to deliver a note?
