Chapter 354 Mu Qing is seriously injured
"Unless..." Yin Li's lips curled slightly, "After being rescued by me, you suddenly felt so touched that you were ready to pledge yourself to me?"
"Don't try to change the subject." Hu Xiner said coldly.
Seeing her seriousness, Yin Li also became serious: "I really can't tell you this for the time being, but I promise that I will never hurt you."
Hu Xin'er stared at him blankly, lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "Even my biological mother wants to kill me, do you think I can still trust you?"
The warmth of the Lu Mansion almost made her forget that the capital city was a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones.
The more aristocratic the class, the more so.
She had been protected too well before. The prince was the best example of trampling on family affection and trust, even though he was not far away.
But she still foolishly believed that Liu Se should love her daughter.
He even believed what Old Master Liu said.
Now, whenever she thought of Old Master Liu's face when he came to recognize her as her relative, she couldn't help but feel nauseous.
How could such a person exist? He imprisoned his own daughter in the ground and drove her insane.
But on the surface, he was still able to welcome his lost granddaughter home with a smile on his face, and pretend to dote on her.
She even suspected that all this was a trap set by Old Master Liu from the beginning, and even Concubine Xuan whom she met in the palace was a part of the trap.
If you think about it, everyone around you seems to have their own mysteries, but how many of these people can you truly trust?
What did Old Master Liu want to gain from him by setting up this trap?
What is the purpose of the person who delivered the letter?
Hu Xiner began to feel that her life had become extremely insecure, as if it was about to collapse at any time.
She stood up from the chair with her head down. Her expression could not be seen clearly, but her whole body exuded an air of sadness, uneasiness and despair.
She looked at Yin Li, who was almost speechless, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Sorry, I spoke nonsense again, I'm sorry."
No matter how much she suspected others, she should not doubt Yin Li, who had just saved her life.
She turned to leave, but was stopped by Yin Li: "Hey, where are you going?"
"I want to go back to the Liu family." Hu Xin'er said softly, "If I don't go back soon, I'm afraid they'll get suspicious."
Seeing that she was still holding on despite having encountered a major change, Yin Li's eyes were full of heartache.
He hugged Hu Xin'er in his arms and said, "Don't worry, I will handle the Liu family's affairs. Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will do my best to protect you."
Hu Xin'er pushed him away forcefully: "Why are you protecting me for no apparent reason? Is there any reason behind this?"
"What other reason do I need to protect you?" Yin Li wanted to say something, but paused. He just said dryly, "This Pavilion Master always follows his heart and protects whoever he wants to protect."
Hu Xin'er looked at him deeply: "I believe you, but the premise is that you have to tell me your true identity."
"Why do you always keep harping on this?" Yin Li couldn't explain his reason, so he said with a hint of irritation, "Hiding your identity doesn't hinder me... why do you care so much?"
Hu Xin'er's eyes flashed with disappointment: "Since you can't even be honest, how can I trust you?"
She sighed, shook off Yin Li's hand, and wanted to leave alone.
But Yin Li stopped him: "Are you crazy? You still want to go back to the Liu family to find clues to the Lu family tragedy?"
Hu Xin'er remained silent, she did have this idea.
Seeing her acquiesce, Yin Li was really angry: "Hu Xin'er, you have seen the danger that Liu Se and the entire Liu family are in. If you are worried about the safety of the Lu family, you can live in my Wanjuan Pavilion. You must not go to the Liu family again, especially the basement!"
Hu Xin'er suddenly turned around: "What if I have to go?"
Although it was a question, her words were extremely firm.
One was for the Lu family and Mu Qing, and the other was because he was angry that Yin Li refused to reveal her true identity.
Yin Li said angrily: "Why are you so stubborn? You'll die if you go!"
"Then there's no need for Pavilion Master Yin to worry about it." Hu Xin'er retorted, "I have my own husband, why should I ask you to protect him?"
"Your husband?" Yin Li was so angry at her stubbornness that she couldn't even speak clearly. "Your husband is almost dying from his injuries. How can he protect you? He's just a burden to you."
What? Mu Qing is dying?
Hu Xiner was confused.
Wasn't Mu Qing fine when he came to see her a few days ago? But why did Yin Li say that?
Her voice trembled slightly. "What do you mean? What do you mean he's dying? He's injured?"
Yin Li's eyes wandered for a moment. In fact, Mu Qing had specifically told him not to tell this matter.
He also said coldly that if he told Hu Xiner about this, he would be in trouble.
But now that things have come to this, it's impossible to hide it any longer. Yin Li thought to herself, "Mu Qing, Mu Qing, this isn't my fault. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being such a loser."
Seeing that he suddenly remained silent, Hu Xin'er was basically certain that this matter was true, and her expression became more and more anxious: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Don't get excited yet." Yin Li cleared his throat and said speechlessly, "It's nothing, it's just that Mu Qing was attacked last time and was seriously injured."
Hu Xiner suddenly recalled Mu Qing's strange behavior when they met last time.
At that time, she threw herself into Mu Qing's arms. Although she didn't use much strength, she clearly heard him groan.
"No, I must go find him." She murmured, turned around and walked out.
Yin Li refused to let her leave: "It's useless for you to go, and you might be in great danger. It's better for you to stay here."
He was a skilled martial artist, so Hu Xin'er naturally couldn't handle him. Desperate, she pointed the brush at herself, pretending to commit suicide: "If you don't let me pass, I'll die right now, just to show you!"
Yin Li muttered, "This pen won't hurt you..."
Hu Xin'er was a little confused when she heard this, but she didn't bother to think about it: "If I don't have this pen, there must be something else. I can just pull out a hairpin and commit suicide. Let me go quickly, otherwise I will never have anything to do with you again!"
"No way, are you so cruel?" Yin Li was so angry that she jumped up and down, but she still said stubbornly, "But even so, your safety is more important. I will not let you go!"
Hu Xin'er took advantage of his unpreparedness and rushed to the left, waving the brush in her hand vigorously: "If you don't want me to get into trouble, stay away from me!"
Yin Li subconsciously dodged to stop him, but he let out a light "hiss" and looked at his arm.
There was a scratch from the brush there, and blood was dripping.
