Chapter 487 Falling out
When I first met Lu Yunjue, as the eldest son of the Lu family, he was so handsome and calm, and he was able to act appropriately even though he had just lost his father.
At that time, Mu Qing felt that he was like dust, and Lu Yunjue was an immortal from heaven who was banished to the world.
But now, he can only curl up in such a broken reed mat and dare not even take off the mask.
Everyone stayed in the dilapidated temple for more than an hour. Lu Yunjue returned to the inn tiredly after making sure that he would not reveal any flaws.
The meal tonight is particularly sumptuous.
Erdong was so bored in the room that he was about to get moldy. When Lu Yunjue came back, he complained to him angrily. However, when he saw the dinner, he immediately smiled.
Hu Xin'er and Mu Qing finished their meal in silence, and after looking at each other, they understood each other's thoughts.
This incident strengthened their determination to change their faces as soon as possible.
"The Taoist priest said he has already procured the necessary herbs, but there's one urgent matter that needs to be addressed," Mu Qing pondered. "That's where to go to change the face."
"Why not rent a house?" Hu Xiner thought about it for a while and understood the key. After all, it was impossible for them to change their faces directly in the inn.
She took out her own 1,000 taels of silver and analyzed, "Actually, renting a house does have its advantages. Face-swapping is a secret, so we need to rent a house with its own entrance. The owner should have furniture in it, so we can buy our own food and cook our own meals without spending so much money."
Besides, Mother Lu also needs to rest. Although the environment in this inn is comfortable, the flow of guests is too large and the sound insulation is poor. One can often hear the shouting of people below.
Sometimes, there are some shameless people doing strange things in the inn.
Not to mention Lu's mother, even Hu Xin'er couldn't stand it. If the child made a fuss at night, it would be easy for her to fall asleep.
She often fell asleep peacefully only after Mu Qing held her in his arms and coaxed her, massaging her legs and shoulders.
This also made Mu Qing very tired.
Mu Qing stared at her serious little face, lost in thought: "Xin'er, I'm sorry for your hardship."
Hu Xin'er laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not like your Lu family doesn't have money, you just forgot to bring it."
Mu Qing felt a little ashamed: "I am always so careless."
Hu Xin'er said with a smile, "No, you're the most gentle and considerate. In ordinary families, which man is as virtuous as you?"
Mu Qing never got annoyed by being teased. He just came over and carefully examined Hu Xin'er's eyebrows and eyes. When their eyes met, Hu Xin'er blinked and turned away: "I'm going to wash up."
As soon as she stood up, she was pulled into her husband's arms. Hu Xin'er knew that she could not escape this time, so she could only beg for mercy softly: "Be quiet, don't let my aunt and the others hear me."
Mu Qing kissed her: "My own wife, and now I can't even touch her?"
His kiss was so urgent that it left her breathless.
If you think about it carefully, the couple has been spending less time together than together in recent times, and they only have the opportunity to be intimate after leaving Beijing.
Mu Qing is a young man full of vigor and vitality, and he is also a martial artist. Hu Xiner has long experienced his strength, and she knows how much of a reserved and coquettish man he is despite his seemingly serious and taciturn appearance.
It is really too difficult for him to endure it for so long.
She was kissed until her whole body went limp. Seeing that she didn't answer, Mu Qing showed some ferocity and asked in a domineering tone, "Why don't you answer? Are you not allowed to touch me?"
Hu Xin'er glared at him, her voice as soft as a mosquito's, even though she didn't lower it: "If you say something like that again, you'll sleep on the floor tonight!"
Mu Qing chuckled.
After a long moment of lingering, Mu Qing stroked her hair and asked, "Xin'er, are you really not afraid?"
Hu Xin'er hadn't come back to her senses yet, and looked at him blankly: "What are you afraid of?"
Mu Qing was silent for a moment: "I am really ugly. Ever since I can remember, I have been called a monster."
"That's not your fault." Hu Xin'er said softly, "You were poisoned. How can you be blamed for something like this?"
Mu Qing whispered: "But..."
Hu Xin'er suddenly closed her eyes and leaned into his arms, "How many times do you want me to say this? I just want to be by your side. There are many beauties in the world, but you are the only one I love."
The two were in the middle of a passionate moment when they suddenly heard a thud on the stairs. It was the waiter running over: "Dear guests, someone is looking for you downstairs!"
Who would come to see them at this time of night?
When they went downstairs, they found that a group of people had gathered at the door of the inn, and the innkeeper was standing at the door and yelling, "Zhao Si, what are you doing here?"
Across from him, a young man stood with his head held high and chest puffed out. “I’m just looking for someone.”
"Hmph, is it necessary to make such a big fuss just to find someone?" The shopkeeper was skeptical, but when he turned around, he found that Mu Qing and others were already in front of him.
He said angrily: "You guys caused this problem, so go and solve it yourself!"
Although Zhao Si is young, he loves to make trouble and is not someone to be trifled with.
He didn't want to confront Zhao Si just for a few guests.
Hu Xin'er raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Mu Qing looked at Zhao Si with a cold gaze.
Although the store was relatively quiet at this time, there were still many people eating. When they heard the noise, they couldn't help but cast curious glances and wanted to join in the fun.
A passerby who didn't know the truth asked: "Zhao Si, this name sounds a bit familiar..."
"Oh! You're the one who runs the comic book store? Tsk tsk, you're so naughty at such a young age."
Although Muxin Comics Shop is located in a remote area, it has a great reputation due to its uniqueness.
But, it's basically a bad reputation.
Everyone was basically disdainful and regretful of the shopkeeper Zhao Si. After all, why couldn't he do something else with such a good-looking face? Why did he have to be a profiteer?
Zhao Si met Mu Qing's gaze and subconsciously shrank back, but when he thought of his one thousand taels of silver, his gaze became firm again.
As businessmen, they would rather lose their heads and bleed than waste their money!
In the afternoon, he was shocked by the novel ideas that Hu Xiner came up with, and watched them take away most of his belongings.
But gradually, he felt more and more that something was wrong, and he always felt that he had suffered a loss. This time he came to the door specifically to get the thousand silver coins back.
However, he didn't want to offend the two people in front of him until it was absolutely necessary, so he said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. You just borrowed 1,000 taels of silver from me this afternoon, and I want to get it back!"
Hu Xin'er raised her eyebrows. "When did we borrow your money? It's obvious that you've been ruining the reputation of Mu Xin Comics Shop. To prevent the Princess from pursuing the matter, we're confiscating your business income!"
Zhao Si's face suddenly darkened, changing like turning the pages of a book: "So, you're determined to rob me?"
