Chapter 302 Yin Li’s Thoughts
Mu Qing raised his voice and said, "Come in."
It was Xiaodie, who was beside Lu's mother, who came over to pass on the message. She was holding a wooden tray and said with a smile, "The old lady also said that she personally made a bowl of chicken soup for the young lady. Please remember to drink it."
Mu Qing showed a worried look, but Hu Xin'er said, "You go ahead. I don't have anything important to do here. The servant outside the door might just be busy with something. Don't think too much about it."
Mu Qing sent another group of guards over, and this time the security was even tighter.
After Mu Qing left, Hu Xiner dismissed the servants and slowly took out the letter from her sleeve.
The only thing in her mind was confusion and fear.
The fear was naturally because the Lu family had strengthened their defenses due to their hostility towards the prince.
But even in such a situation, someone was still able to enter the Lu family silently and hand the letter to her pillow.
The reason for her confusion was that the man did not harm her life and even took away all the servants in the yard, as if he was deliberately reminding her that there were not enough guards in the yard.
Hu Xiner shook her head, finding her thoughts a little funny.
Who would come to remind her?
She looked carefully at the letter and key in her hand, and an idea came to her mind.
Perhaps, just as it was written in the letter, there was something hidden in the Liu family's basement, and this key might be the key to the basement.
However, it is very difficult to enter the Liu family's basement if you are not related or not.
The answer to the Lu family’s blood feud mentioned in the letter is most likely the evidence of the prince’s harm to the Lu family!
In other words, as long as they enter the Liu family's basement, they can obtain evidence of the prince's crimes and overthrow him.
Hu Xiner slowly clenched her fists. In order to achieve her goal of overthrowing the prince, she wanted to find an opportunity to go to the Liu family and explore the so-called basement.
But if Mu Qing were to be told of this idea, he would never allow himself to do such a dangerous thing.
But under the current circumstances, who else can enter the Liu family except her, the suspected granddaughter?
This is why Hu Xin'er concealed the letter and key.
Of course, it is impossible to really recognize the Liu family.
"Perhaps, I can use the excuse of visiting the Liu family to check the matter in the basement..." Hu Xiner sat on the bed, murmured softly.
On the other side, Mu Qing entered Lu's mother's room with a look of surprise.
Because Jiang Yao was actually sitting hand in hand with Taoist Yiqing, both of them no longer had the cold and aloof expressions as before, but instead exuded a subtle warmth.
He suddenly understood something and said softly, "Congratulations to my aunt and Taoist Master Yiqing for getting back together."
It was supposed to be a happy occasion that the two of them reconciled, but everyone's faces were not happy.
After Mu Qing sat down, Taoist Yiqing got straight to the point: "Did you know that I have been secretly protecting the Lu family outside the courtyard?"
Mu Qing nodded: "Of course."
This is basically an open secret of the Lu family.
Taoist Master Yiqing asked again: "Then do you know that besides me, there is another person doing the same thing?"
"You mean..." Mu Qing frowned slightly as he thought of the drugs in the yard just now.
Taoist Master Yiqing said in a deep voice: "That person is Yin Li."
When these words were spoken, Jiang Yao and Lu's mother showed a look of surprise.
Taoist Master Yiqing came today and just said that he wanted to tell Mu Qing something very important, but he did not tell them the specific content.
At this time, they heard that it was Yin Li who had been waiting outside the door, and they were all very puzzled.
Yin Li has no relationship with the Lu family, so what is he doing here?
Only Mu Qing was slightly surprised, as this answer was within his expectations.
Jiang Yao frowned and said, "From what I've heard, Pavilion Master Yin has an extremely eccentric personality and a rather mysterious background. Why would he be hanging around our house for no reason? What's his conspiracy?"
Taoist Master Yiqing shook his head: "It doesn't look like he has any malicious intentions. I saw him guarding the Lu family. I tried to talk to him, but he didn't pay any attention to me."
Mother Lu asked worriedly, "What should we do? Are we being targeted by another martial arts master again?"
"The current situation is still unclear." Taoist Yiqing looked at Mu Qing. "A few days ago, you were all in the palace, busy with various things, so I didn't have a chance to ask. But since the book revision was completed, he has appeared around the Lu family again."
Moreover, Yin Li's temper became even worse after drinking. When he saw Taoist Yiqing, he picked up a stone and threw it at him.
Taoist Master Yiqing didn't say this out loud, but from his expression one could tell that his contact with Yin Li was not pleasant.
Seeing that Yin Li was emotionally unstable, he was worried that Yin Li would harm the Lu family, so he hurried to tell Mu Qing.
Mother Lu was a little frightened when she heard this, and Jiang Yao's face showed some anger.
Mu Qing frowned, then quickly relaxed: "I think I know the reason."
"What is it?" the other three asked in unison.
"He covets Xin'er." Mu Qing's expression was very calm, but in fact, there was a hint of anger in his heart.
This Yin Li is really too much. He acts very casually in front of Xin'er, as if he just wants to be an ordinary friend of Xin'er. If he occasionally does something out of line, he covers it up with jokes.
But secretly, he actually got to the Lu family and he was almost climbing over the Lu family's wall.
It was as if she was just waiting for a red apricot to emerge from the wall. She completely ignored the existence of Mu Qing, her legitimate husband, and made him lose all face!
The expressions of the other three people suddenly became very complicated.
Mother Lu treated Hu Xiner as her own daughter and was shocked when she heard what Mu Qing said.
But then she thought, a woman as outstanding as Xin'er would certainly have many admirers, so she believed Mu Qing's words without a doubt: "I was wondering why he, a man of marriageable age, would be so caring towards Xin'er. It turns out he's coveting my daughter-in-law!"
Mother Lu, who has always been kind, was a little angry.
Jiang Yao was almost speechless. "Sister, don't overthink it. How could Yin Li covet a married man?"
Taoist Master Yiqing looked at Mu Qing with a puzzled look on his face: "How did you know about this?"
"Yin Li's thoughts are clearly written on his face and in the look in his eyes when he looks at Xin'er. I think it's hard for him not to know." Mu Qing's tone was light, but there was a hint of sourness in it.
The room suddenly fell silent.
The three people looked at him with complicated expressions.
Jiang Yao took a deep breath. "You just watch others covet your wife, and you're not angry?"
Mu Qing sneered, "What's there to be angry about?"
In fact, he was almost jealous to death!
Of course he was angry, but what could he do? If he was angry, he would just feel that he was not gentle and considerate!
Mu Qing's turbulent inner thoughts ultimately turned into arrogant words.
He pretended to be calm and said, "Yes, I'm not angry."
