Chapter 300 Quarrel
"Let me think about it." Hu Xiner avoided the gazes of the two old men in embarrassment.
Although she had already thought of how to refuse in her mind, how could she not be soft-hearted when she actually saw the two old people's eyes filled with tears of expectation and guilt?
The two old people seemed to have not much time left. Even if she didn't want to have anything to do with the original owner's family, she couldn't hurt their feelings at this time.
Old Master Liu wanted to say something, but then he heard Hu Xin'er say, "Please go home first."
Mr. Liu was reluctantly helped away, looking back every few steps.
Mother Lu had not expected this to happen. She asked in shock and confusion, "Xin'er, are you really the granddaughter of the Liu family?"
Hu Xin'er didn't dare to look at Mother Lu's eyes: "Mom, these things haven't been confirmed yet, but judging from Old Master Liu's reaction, it should be..."
Mother Lu's hand trembled slightly.
Hu Xin'er's voice became weaker and weaker, and she choked up and said, "Mom, can you please not drive me away because of this?"
Old Master Liu came too quickly and too suddenly, and she had not yet figured out how to explain this matter to Mother Lu.
Mother Lu had been a little sad when she saw Old Master Liu's expression, but after hearing Hu Xin'er's words, she was both angry and amused: "Silly child, how could I ever want to give you up? You are the daughter-in-law of my Lu family, married through formal marriage. You can't run away even if you want to."
Jiang Yao said coldly, "Sister, your daughter-in-law has been stupid for a long time."
Hu Xin'er herself felt a little embarrassed, but pregnancy was always a sensitive time, so she simply threw herself into Lu's mother's arms and cried and acted like a spoiled child: "Mom——"
Mu Qing stood where he was, his outstretched hands frozen in the air before slowly retracting.
His expression was also complicated. Why didn't his wife throw herself into his arms when she was sad? He was obviously closer to her!
If the two of them didn't have a good relationship, he would have suspected that Hu Xin'er married him because of Lu's mother.
No, I can’t think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the weirder it feels.
Madam Lu carefully protected Hu Xin'er. After coaxing her, she sighed slowly, "Xin'er, Old Master Liu seems to be very concerned about you. If you go back, the Liu family will definitely treat you like a treasure. Do you really not want to go back?"
Hu Xin'er pouted and said, "A nest of gold or silver is not as good as my own doghouse. I don't want to go there."
Mother Lu tapped her forehead and said, "Silly girl, why are you so willful about something like this?"
Hu Xin'er muttered, "Mom, didn't you say you wouldn't chase me away?"
Mother Lu laughed. "You married into my family, how could I possibly chase you away? But my son was lost and found again before, so I can tell that Old Master Liu's excitement is genuine. He must have missed you very much in his heart all these years."
What Lu's mother said unintentionally made Jiang Yao's expression dim.
She thought of her son who had been lost for many years, and felt inexplicably depressed, so she turned and left uncomfortably.
She opened the door and wanted to go out for a walk, but she caught a glimpse of a white shadow in the corner of her eye.
Not far away, the Taoist priest was holding a whisk, looking a little surprised. He then immediately turned around, as if avoiding the situation.
Jiang Yao's pent-up emotions finally erupted. She rushed to the Taoist priest and grabbed his arm.
Taoist Master Yiqing paused and asked, "What can I do for you, Miss Jiang Yao?"
Jiang Yao questioned, "Since you said our fate is over and all past thoughts have been forgotten, what's the point of you staying here now?"
Taoist Master Yiqing was about to say something when he heard the crying tone in her voice.
Jiang Yao is naturally strong-willed and doesn't like to cry.
Even when the two met again, she just glanced at him indifferently without saying anything.
Taoist Master Yiqing often felt that if his cultivation had not been inadequate, if he had gone up to talk to her, they might have missed each other in this life, ending up in this indifferent gaze.
What happened to Jiang Yao? He thought so and slowly turned his head. He saw Jiang Yao's eyes were red and the hand holding his clothes was shaking uncontrollably.
She was bright and beautiful when she was young, but she became mean after experiencing great changes. But at this moment, Taoist Yiqing only associated her with one word: fragile.
He couldn't help but ask anxiously: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Jiang Yao gritted her teeth, trying to cover up her gaffe with a sarcastic tone: "What does this have to do with you? What's our relationship? Is it your turn to control me?"
She could hardly control her emotions, and without caring how embarrassed she was, she turned around and walked towards the Lu Mansion.
But this time, it was Taoist Yiqing who refused to let go: "Jiang Yao, what kind of difficulties have you encountered? I..."
When Jiang Yao's hand was grabbed by him, the string of rationality in her mind snapped.
The disappointment, anger and resentment accumulated over the years finally overwhelmed her completely.
She growled, "I'll look for you when I'm in trouble. You said the same thing more than ten years ago, but where were you when I was pregnant? Where were you when he was kidnapped?"
Taoist Master Daqing was no longer calm. His pupils shrank sharply. "What did you say? Child? Where is he now?"
Jiang Yao cried bitterly, covering her face with her hands: "What's the point of asking now? Back then..."
She trembled as she told the truth about the child's disappearance. The whisk in Taoist Yiqing's hand fell to the ground. He slowly closed his eyes, and a tear finally slipped down.
He asked in a hoarse voice: "Why didn't you tell me back then?"
Jiang Yao seemed to be laughing and crying: "I'll tell you, and then you'll stay and resent me for the rest of your life?"
Taoist Master Yiqing was stunned for a while, then embraced Jiang Yao in his arms.
Jiang Yao burst into tears, and the relationship between the two finally broke the ice
On the other side, Mother Lu had a complicated expression when she found out her sister had left.
Seeing this, Hu Xin'er did not act willfully. Instead, she changed the subject and told a few jokes to Lu's mother, then followed Mu Qing back to the room.
Mu Qing asked with some concern: "Xin'er, now that things have developed to this point, what do you think?"
Hu Xin'er hesitated for a while: "Actually... I don't know whether I should acknowledge this relationship or not."
If she accepted it, trouble would definitely increase, and she didn't know how to get along with Old Master Liu.
If you don't admit it, the Liu family will definitely not let it go.
She looked at Mu Qing, hoping to gain some support and strength.
But Mu Qing took a deep breath and said bluntly: "Xin'er, the Lu family is going to deal with the prince right now and is in danger at any time. If you go to the Liu family, you will be safer!"
He felt that his narrative was already very neutral and objective.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xin'er angrily questioned, "What do you mean by that? Are you planning to abandon me and face danger alone again? Okay, Mu Qing, I've finally seen clearly. Your previous promises of never leaving me were all lies. You just want to leave me when something happens!"
As she spoke, she began to cry.
