Chapter 565 His Tears
After seeing off Doctor He, the atmosphere in the room became even more depressing.
Jiang Ning sat attentively playing with the Luban lock, which was specially bought for her by the servants on behalf of Lu's mother.
She had two buns on her head, looking innocent and cute. Seeing that no one was talking, she sighed softly.
Hu Xiner forced herself to cheer up and asked, "Ningning, what's wrong? Is the Luban Lock not fun?"
Jiang Ning looked at her and asked, "Sister-in-law, is Miss Lu going to heaven?"
"Who told you that?" Hu Xin'er didn't expect that someone with her intelligence would ask such a question, but after thinking about it, it wasn't surprising.
After all, Jiang Ning has been in the market for so many years. No matter how dull and stupid he is, he should know some social customs.
Jiang Ning blinked: "Sister Du said that. She said that when people die, they go to heaven."
"Miss Du told you that when you were still a member of the Lu family?" Hu Xin'er thought for a moment and asked, "Were you very familiar with her? Why didn't you go to the martial arts gym with her then?"
According to the character of the Du family, if Miss Du really liked Jiang Ning, she should have brought her back to the martial arts hall.
When Jiang Ning heard her mention the word "martial arts hall", his body trembled slightly, and his fear was exposed: "I'm scared! I'm scared!"
Hu Xin'er patted her shoulder gently: "Sister-in-law knows, I shouldn't ask these questions. Don't be afraid."
She looked around and said, "Take the young lady to her room. It's getting late."
When Lu's mother was awake, she was planning to pick a few maids for Jiang Ning, but because she suddenly fell into a coma, she put the matter on hold.
When Jiang Ning was led away by the older maid, he looked back timidly, as if he was very worried about Lu's mother who was lying on the bed.
The maid comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady. The old lady is blessed with good fortune. Nothing will happen to her."
"This child was not raised in vain." Hu Xiner couldn't help but say as she watched them leave.
Lu Yunjue's voice was a little hoarse: "Mom is always so kind to her, so she will naturally repay her kindness."
Through the candlelight, Hu Xiner realized that his eyes were already red.
Lu Yunjue calmed down and patted Mu Qing on the shoulder: "Brother, I will be the one guarding here tonight. You can take my sister-in-law back to her room and sleep first. My sister-in-law's health is more important."
After learning that Lu's mother's condition had worsened, Mu Qing became somewhat distraught and was immersed in inexplicable emotions and could not wake up.
He came back to his senses when Lu Yunjue patted him on the shoulder, but he was unstable and staggered a few steps, almost falling down.
"Mu Qing!" Hu Xin'er was startled and hurried forward. "Mu Qing, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Yunjue was quick to support Mu Qing and said, "Brother, be careful!"
Mu Qing shook his head vigorously, and seemed to slowly calm down. He suddenly felt something strange, and when he touched his face, he felt cold tears.
It turned out that he was already in tears without realizing it.
Some people's sadness is silent. They try their best to suppress their emotions, but their tears reveal their vulnerability first.
Hu Xin'er took off his mask and saw his heartbroken look. She felt extremely distressed: "Mu Qing, please say something. Don't scare me!"
"Brother, no matter how sad you are, you must take care of yourself. You should go back to your room with sister-in-law first. What will happen to sister-in-law if you fall down?" Lu Yunjue had never seen Mu Qing like this before.
He had heard that some people would die suddenly when they were too sad, so he was very worried about Mu Qing's health.
Mu Qing stood there and slowly gathered himself together. Although his eyes were open, he seemed to be trapped in a nightmare from which he couldn't wake up. All the images around him were in slow motion and blurry.
"Xin'er?" He murmured silently, and only after he recognized his anxious wife in front of him did he hear those caring words belatedly.
Hu Xin'er called out more than a dozen times before she finally saw him react. She angrily punched Mu Qing's shoulders a few times, tears welling up in her eyes: "You almost scared me to death!"
Hot tears fell on Mu Qing's hands. He subconsciously held Hu Xin'er in his arms and patted her gently: "It's okay, how could I be in trouble? I just didn't react for a moment."
His current condition was indeed not suitable for taking care of Mother Lu. Lu Yunjue almost pushed him out of the room: "Go quickly. If you were both here, I would have to take care of you and your wife."
The door was shut heavily. In the cold wind of the winter night, Mu Qing hugged Hu Xiner tightly and walked towards the room.
Hu Xin'er comforted him, "Don't worry too much. If the situation is truly dire, I'll write to Old Man Dou right now. He'll definitely find a way. Doctor He also said he'll contact his friends..."
Mu Qing nodded silently: "I understand, don't worry."
At night, on the bed, Mu Qing massaged his wife's legs as usual. After watching Hu Xiner close her eyes, he sighed deeply.
In reality, Hu Xin'er was so worried, how could she possibly sleep? She didn't know how much time had passed before she turned sideways and quietly opened her eyes, only to find Mu Qing staring at her without blinking.
Seeing that she was awake, Mu Qing asked in a hoarse voice, "Did I wake you up?"
Hu Xin'er snuggled into his arms, wanting to say something comforting, but in the end she just said quietly, "I can't sleep because I'm thinking about Mom."
Mu Qing coaxed her, "It's okay. Mother has always been kind and virtuous, so she will definitely be able to get through this difficult time."
Hu Xin'er was coaxed by him and closed her eyes unconsciously. In a half-asleep and half-awake state, it seemed that something wet the clothes on her back.
She didn't need to look back to know that those were Mu Qing's tears.
Last night, Hu Xin'er didn't fall asleep until almost dawn, and when she woke up, she found her pillow was empty.
She sat beside the bed for a long while, then asked loudly, "Where is Mu Qing?"
The maid outside heard the sound and came in to help her wash and dress. "The young master went to see the old lady when he got up this morning. It seems he didn't sleep all night. He even asked the kitchen to make you some golden thread and red date porridge, saying that you like it."
Hu Xiner felt a little warm in her heart. After finishing breakfast, she was about to go to Lu's mother, but she saw a dark red piece of clothing sticking out from the beam.
The little maid cleared the dishes for him, said hello and walked towards the kitchen.
Yin Li was leaning against the beam, dozing with his eyes closed. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there.
Hu Xiner hadn't seen him since the last incident at the comic book shop, so she didn't think about him last night.
Having not seen him for a long time, he seemed to look a little more tired.
"Yin Li? When did you come?" Hu Xiner couldn't help showing a look of surprise and confusion.
Yin Li covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, then pulled out the fan from her waist and gently tapped her palms. "Of course I heard something happened at someone's house, so I came here specially."
