Chapter 306 Being taken back to the Liu family
The brushstrokes on the portrait are delicate, revealing full warmth.
Hu Xiner tore the painting into two pieces, and Mu Qing, who witnessed all this, had a confused look in his eyes.
"Since you want me to leave, then okay, I'll go." Hu Xiner sniffed and barely held back her tears.
Then she walked down the stairs and passed by Mu Qing.
Master Liu followed carefully behind: "Xin'er, don't worry, you have your mother's family now. If the Lu family treats you badly, our Liu family will support you!"
Mother Lu watched all this in astonishment. She had no idea what was going on, but one thing was certain: Hu Xiner was definitely not a person who made trouble for no reason.
Therefore, Mu Qing must have done something extremely excessive.
She immediately pinched Mu Qing hard and said, "What are you standing there for? Go and catch up!"
However, Mu Qing just stared silently at Hu Xiner's resolute back as she left.
Hu Xiner followed Master Liu away without looking back.
When the servants in the Lu Mansion heard that the young master and the young mistress had a fierce quarrel, they all came over.
Looking at the young lady's expression, everyone felt that something really big was going to happen this time!
"Young Madam..." someone called out tentatively, but was glared at fiercely by Butler Liu.
At the study door, watching Hu Xin'er's figure disappear at the end of the road, Mother Lu stamped her feet in anger: "I'm telling you, Mu Qing, if such a good daughter-in-law of mine doesn't come back, you can never enter the Lu family again!"
Mu Qing lowered his head, his expression unclear, and he just squatted down silently to pick up the fragments of the painting.
At the gate of the Lu Mansion, the servants looked at each other and whispered, "Young Madam, please don't leave so hastily."
"Young Madam, what happened?"
"Young Madam, will you come back?"
…
Old Master Liu took a look at Hu Xin'er's expression, then said rudely, "Go away! What young lady? Xin'er is the legitimate daughter of our Liu family!"
The servants panicked in an instant.
What? Their young lady is going to the Liu family to become a daughter?
Hu Xin'er acted as if she didn't hear the discussions and walked straight towards the carriage.
However, the moment she got on the carriage, she burst into tears.
She thought that Mu Qing would at least explain or try to keep her.
She walked very slowly, but the more she walked, the colder she felt in her heart.
Mu Qing didn't want to pursue her at all.
The Liu family was wealthy and powerful, and they specially prepared an extra carriage to pick up their young lady.
Old Master Liu and Butler Liu boarded another carriage. When they lifted the curtain, they both looked at the Lu Mansion at the same time.
The servants all looked reluctant and worried, but Mu Qing was nowhere to be seen.
Old Master Liu, who hadn't uttered a foul language in many years, couldn't help but curse: "This little bastard!"
The carriage started moving. Listening to the concerned cries of the servants outside, Hu Xiner couldn't help but cover her face and sob.
When the carriage drove into the alley, Mu Qing stood at the door holding the torn painting in his hand, watching Hu Xin'er gradually go away.
This scene is exactly the same as what happened in Hu Xiner's dream.
Mother Lu still thought it was her son and Hu Xin'er who were arguing, and she couldn't help but urge, "Come here, get a fast horse, and have the young master chase the young mistress!"
Mu Qing shook his head.
Mother Lu sighed, "Don't be so stubborn. Is there anything a husband and wife can't talk about peacefully? Xin'er is pregnant now, and her emotions are already fragile. Why are you arguing with her for no reason?"
She thought of Hu Xin'er's tearful face, and felt distressed again: "Hurry up and chase her! Otherwise, if the Liu family sees you like this, how will they let their daughter go back?"
Mu Qing said sullenly, "Mother, I told Master Liu that."
"What?" Mother Lu was truly furious. "Are you bored? Let me ask you, which of the seven offenses did Xin'er commit that warrants your treatment of her like this?"
Although the Liu family is most likely Hu Xiner's maternal family, there will be no danger in sending her there.
But how could a son-in-law tell his father-in-law in person to take his daughter back?
Mu Qing explained, "I'm doing this for her own good."
He explained his motives.
Mother Lu fell silent: "Hearing you put it that way, it is indeed safer."
But for both of them, this choice is too cruel.
It is probably not that easy to overthrow the prince in a short period of time.
And how long will it take to completely make the entire Lu family safe?
One year? Five years? Ten years?
Could it be that Hu Xiner can only stay in the Liu family these days?
Mu Qing himself didn't know.
Seeing Mu Qing's lonely and silent look, Mother Lu had nothing to say. She just sighed deeply and said, "You should have explained this matter to Xin'er..."
But in fact, she also knew that Hu Xiner would never agree to escape alone.
"Master, your dish is ready. The cook has served it for you." At this time, the servant from the small kitchen came running over to report.
Mu Qing said slowly, "Bring it to the hall."
Originally, he planned to eat in the small kitchen with Hu Xiner.
Now I can only eat with everyone.
The table was full of food that was Hu Xiner's favorite. Mu Qing forced himself to pick up the chopsticks. He ate with numb eyes, but the beautiful scene of Hu Xiner and him eating together kept flashing through his mind.
Plop, a tear fell.
Mu Qing seemed to be completely unaware and just stuffed rice into his mouth, eating faster and faster.
And tears fell drop by drop on the table.
The scene of him crying silently hurt the heart of Lu's mother who was standing beside him.
At the same time, her hatred for the prince became even deeper.
The misery of the Lu family was all caused by the prince!
At night, Jiang Yao didn't come back until the moon was at its highest point in the sky.
"Sister, what do you want to talk to me about?" She pushed open the door of Lu's mother's room, and anyone could see the hint of joy in her eyes.
Mother Lu could see that Jiang Yao became very happy after reconciling with Taoist Master Yiqing.
What she wanted to say was stuck in her mouth: "Nothing, I just missed you a little. Go back to sleep."
"Sister, when did you learn to lie?" Jiang Yao knew her sister well and could tell at a glance that she was worried. "Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to hide things between us sisters."
When Mother Lu thought about what happened today, her brows couldn't help but frown. She sighed in distress and for a moment she didn't know where to start.
Jiang Yao's expression turned serious. "What happened? Did the Crown Prince do something again?"
Mother Lu opened her mouth and sighed heavily, "Xin'er was taken back to the Liu family today!"
What? Jiang Yao was very surprised.
