Chapter 304: Old Master Liu Visits Again
Hu Xiner opened her mouth, but ultimately did not try to dissuade him.
Her original plan was to make a quick decision and then talk to Mu Qing indirectly about her thoughts after dinner.
She had already thought of the specific words by then: "Husband, Mr. Liu and the original Lu Yunjue were classmates for ten years. The Liu family is also very powerful. Do you think the Liu family will have any clues?"
Then she hinted that if there were any clues, she would be willing to go and take a look.
If Mu Qing showed the slightest disapproval of her risking her life, she would quickly change the subject and create some emotional atmosphere, saying that she wanted to visit the Liu family again.
In short, no matter what, she had to go to the Liu family to take a look. The only difference was whether she had Mu Qing's company and protection.
"Then I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the food." Mu Qing rubbed her head gently. "If anything happens, be sure to call me."
"Oh, right, Yunqiu is back." Hu Xin'er pointed outside the door. "And the missing servants are back too. They must have been knocked unconscious by someone, but I don't know why that person didn't take their lives."
After hearing this, Mu Qing felt that it was Yin Li who did this.
He felt a little upset, but he didn't want Hu Xin'er to see it, so he hugged Hu Xin'er and said, "I'm glad you're okay. I'll send someone to check for the assassin."
As he walked out, Hu Xin'er grabbed his sleeve and called out softly, "Hey."
Mu Qing was a little confused.
"I'll go help you prepare the food." Hu Xin'er said with a smile, "It just so happens that I haven't been in the kitchen for a long time."
Mu Qing was suspiciously silent for three seconds.
He had not forgotten the painful experience of making Hu Xiner cook in Shuangxi Village.
"Hey, what's with that expression on your face?" Hu Xiner has tasted a lot of delicious food in the capital these days and thinks her cooking skills have improved.
She felt that today was the day to prove herself!
Moreover, she can only do this kind of thing in the first three months. When her belly gets bigger, the whole family will definitely treat her like a treasure.
Now is the time to do everything you want to do while you can still jump around!
Mu Qing listened to his beloved wife's questioning and quickly adjusted his expression: "No, I just thought that you were still pregnant..."
"This is not a strenuous exercise." Hu Xiner retorted.
Mu Qing's thoughts raced as he tried to find a reason to reject his wife.
Hu Xin'er rolled her eyes and pretended to be pitiful, pulling Mu Qing's sleeve: "Husband, just promise me, at worst I will help you~"
Within three seconds, Mu Qing was defeated by her coquettish attack: "Okay then."
His face was full of helplessness and doting: "Let's make it clear that you will be responsible for preparing the food, and I will be responsible for cutting and cooking."
"Yeah!" Hu Xin'er happily threw off the quilt and got out of bed, "Then let's go!"
Mu Qing looked at his wife's beautiful smile and thought uncertainly, if his wife is so confident and she is just helping out, nothing should happen, right?
"What? The Young Madam is going to cook for us herself?" Yun Qiu was quite surprised. She followed the two of them closely and exclaimed in admiration, "I didn't expect the Young Madam to be interested in cooking!"
Yun Qiu's flattery was usually because he had just been knocked unconscious and had not taken good care of the young lady, so he felt a little guilty.
The other half is sincere.
During this period, Yun Qiu was addicted to reading comics and observing the young lady, and had become a die-hard fan of the young lady.
In her eyes, the young lady is different from all the women in the capital. She is not pretentious at all. While being down-to-earth, she also possesses strong business and management skills.
Every day, Yun Qiu's daily routine is to follow the young lady and happily take care of the young lady who is occasionally careless and reckless.
Hu Xin'er naturally couldn't reveal the slightest flaw in front of her little fangirl. She said proudly, "Of course, your young mistress is omnipotent!"
Yun Qiu asked expectantly, "Young Madam, what are we going to do today? Is this the braised lion's head you drew in the comic last time?"
Hu Xin'er coughed lightly and said, "Today, it's mainly your young master's turn to perform. I'll give him some pointers."
Yun Qiu suddenly realized: "Young Master never went into the kitchen before, and Young Madam was able to teach him how to cook. You are truly worthy of your name!"
With her flattery all the way, the group finally arrived at the kitchen.
Yun Qiu told the cooks about the young lady's deeds.
Hu Xiner was looking for an opportunity to strike.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
She accidentally knocked over the basket of river fish.
Hu Xiner felt a little guilty and wanted to quietly put the fish and shrimp back, but she bumped into something else.
Crash! A whole basket of crabs fell down.
"Young Madam, be careful!" The kitchen suddenly became chaotic.
Mu Qing turned around in shock, only to see crabs running all over the ground and fish and shrimps flopping around.
His wife stood among the fish, shrimps and crabs with a dull look in her eyes, her face full of doubts about life.
"Could it be that I am really the legendary kitchen killer?" Hu Xiner couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.
But when she was in modern times, her bubble noodles were obviously very smooth.
Mu Qing hurriedly grabbed the crab that was clinging to her skirt and shouted, "Yun Qiu, quickly take the young lady back to her room to rest!"
Hu Xin'er still wanted to prove herself: "Wait, let me clean up here first..."
But she found that Mu Qing was looking at her with disapproval.
Hu Xiner had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
Back in the room, Yun Qiu massaged her arm and said, "Young Madam, you've worked hard."
Hu Xin'er was embarrassed: "You go down first, I want to be alone and quiet."
She sat in the chair and thought carefully, what went wrong?
As I was thinking about it, I remembered how Mu Qing was frantically catching crabs just now.
Although my husband is a little disheveled, he is still stunningly handsome!
In a family, only one person needs to cook!
Hu Xiner comforted herself in this way, then picked up a pen, wanting to draw a picture of Mu Qing cooking as a souvenir.
When she was halfway through the painting, a servant suddenly came to report: "Young Madam, Old Master Liu is waiting outside the door."
"What is he here for?" Hu Xiner was a little surprised.
The servant showed a strange look: "Old Master Liu asked you to go home with him..."
Hu Xin'er was extremely surprised. Although she wanted to investigate the Liu family's basement, she hadn't mentioned her intention to recognize her relatives. How did Old Master Liu know her thoughts?
She hurried to the door, and after a brief greeting, she asked indirectly about the basement.
But Old Master Liu was evasive.
Originally, this was a critical moment of recognition, and he should have told everything he knew, but now it is like this.
Hu Xiner is now certain that there must be something fishy going on with the Liu family!
