Chapter 642 Regret
Mu Qing was so angry. It was already this late, and his wife was still in the mood to look at handsome men?
He simply leaned over and bit her, his eyes fixed on her, but he said indifferently: "Even without hair, you are still very handsome. It makes people yearn for you and can't help it, right?"
"I was just commenting on her appearance, why did you bite me?" Hu Xiner pushed him aside with disgust, but she couldn't help laughing.
Mu Qing took off his mask and frowned tightly, "Madam, what are you laughing at?"
Seeing his frown, Hu Xin'er laughed even more happily: "You actually still have the mind to be jealous, hahahaha... Oh, don't tease me!"
After a while of arguing, both of them felt much more relaxed. Mu Qing finally realized that Hu Xin'er was teasing him on purpose and couldn't help but flick her forehead: "You only knew how to tease me with this kind of thing!"
Hu Xin'er said cunningly, "Who makes you fall into the trap every time?"
She held Mu Qing's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm immune to handsome men now. I was the one who recovered the fastest just now."
Mu Qing thought about it and took out the green gold bells from his bosom: "Just now, these bells rang."
Hu Xiner took the bell and shook it curiously, but found that there was still no movement.
Mu Qing emphasized, "When I met Zhao Yunxuan, the bell kept vibrating in my arms all the way."
The couple looked at each other in silence for a long time.
"You mean, he's my idiot soulmate?" Hu Xin'er was confused. "But he's a monk!"
Even though he has long hair and doesn't wear robes, Zhao Yunxuan is still a real monk!
"No way? But I'm destined to marry a monk... Oh no, Amitabha, what a sin, what a sin. I can't just be in love with a monk and not be able to get him, right?"
Hu Xin'er murmured, and quickly leaned close to Mu Qing: "My husband, thanks to you for saving me from this sea of suffering."
"Although monks cannot marry, they can return to secular life." Mu Qing had another idea: "He will return to secular life? No wonder he keeps his hair."
Hu Xin'er said firmly, "That's impossible. Look at how sickly he is. His small body would collapse at the slightest gust of wind. He must have some serious illness, which is why he had to become a monk. If he returns to secular life, wouldn't he die?"
She said very seriously: "Oh my God, and marrying a monk is such a thing that makes me shudder. Let's think about how to cure your illness. If you really die, I will be a widow for the rest of my life rather than marry him!"
Mu Qing had previously said that he wanted to bring Hu Xiner and her true love together, but in fact, he was extremely jealous in his heart.
Seeing Hu Xin'er's assurance, he couldn't help but be deeply moved: "Really?"
Hu Xiner nodded vigorously and was about to say some sweet words to belittle the eldest Master Zhao and praise Mu Qing's self-confidence, but her lips were covered by someone.
Mu Qing covered her mouth with one hand and gently stroked her hair with the other, whispering, "Yun Jue and Master Du are at the gate of the courtyard."
Hu Xiner slowly opened her eyes.
Damn, people with martial arts skills have sharp hearing. Could it be that she heard all the words she just said to coax Mu Qing?
Mu Qing's expression became gentler: "Zhao Yunxuan is here too."
Hu Xiner slowly closed her eyes, feeling so embarrassed that her toes curled up. Although there was talk of true love, this was the first time she and Master Zhao met. He was her savior, yet she was picking on him behind his back, and everyone heard it!
The servant knocked on the door and said, "Master, Madam, Master Zhao said he is waiting for you in the front hall."
After the couple tidied up, they pretended nothing had happened and went to the front hall.
Mr. Du and others were locked up in the prison and had all been given muscle softening powder, so they looked particularly miserable.
Zhou Chenghe originally sent people over to kill them, but fortunately Lu Yunjue took the Du family's secret medicine before drinking the tendon softening powder, so his martial arts skills were not lost, which saved everyone's lives.
Even Master Du was still terrified when he recalled the dangerous situation: "Although it was a bit unkind, it's a good thing that the second young master was also imprisoned, otherwise our family would have been killed!"
He said angrily, "I don't know what got into the Zhou family to do such a cruel thing."
Hu Xin'er and Mu Qing exchanged a glance before revealing the Zhou family's intentions: "Actually, the Zhou family did this because of Miss Zhou's reputation..."
Mrs. Du had been tortured for the past few days, and she almost fainted after hearing this: "What? Zhou Qingyan wants to destroy Xiaoqin's face and then kill her?! How can there be such a vicious person in the world?"
Hu Xin'er hurriedly said, "Madam, don't worry. Young Master Zhao has already sent people there. I'm sure Miss Du will not be harmed. It's just..."
She hesitated for a moment. "It's just that it's inevitable that she's suffered some torture in the Zhou family. It's all my fault, after all. If I'd paid more attention and hadn't fallen for the Zhou family's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, Miss Du might not have been captured, and you wouldn't have suffered as a result."
Mrs. Du was indeed angry, but when she saw how remorseful she was, and thought about how she was close in age to her daughter, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She gently patted Hu Xin'er's hand. "What are you talking about, girl? I've never blamed you. You're pregnant, and your family is in this situation. You're still trying so hard for us. We, the Du family, are already incredibly grateful. How could we ask for more?"
After the Du family was thrown into jail, they asked the jailer to look for connections outside, but in just one or two days, they experienced the fickleness of the world.
None of their "good friends" who were usually very attentive to them ever visited them in prison.
The common people who used to love them now avoided them as much as possible, for fear that they would be involved in lawsuits.
Only the Lu family almost sacrificed themselves for them.
She sniffed, and there seemed to be thousands of words stuck in her throat, but she couldn't say a single word. She could only keep wiping away her tears.
Seeing his wife crying, Mr. Du's head, which had always refused to bow, drooped dejectedly. He placed his hands in front of him, clasping them tightly together. He was clearly twice the size of Mrs. Du, but he looked like a big stray dog.
"Three years!" He gritted his teeth, hatred almost bursting out. "I let my mortal enemy plot against my daughter for three whole years! How could I be so stupid!"
He smacked his head in regret, hating himself for being so stupid. Not to mention protecting his daughter, he didn't even have the ability to see through other people's schemes.
If he had been smarter, his daughter wouldn't have suffered so much.
Hu Laosan's hand was broken by the jailers. As soon as he came out after being bandaged, he saw his master and his mistress crying like this. He felt like the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.
