Chapter 646 Spitting Out Blood
"You look like a dim sum!" Hu Xin'er frowned. Who was this silly dad in front of her? She wanted to return her handsome, gentle, and virtuous husband.
Because she had no worries in her heart, Hu Xin'er slept soundly that night. The next morning, she heard the maids laughing and the pale golden light from the sky shone in through the window.
When I walked outside, I saw that the thick clouds had already been broken by the sunlight, and the whole yard seemed to be revitalized. Even the old wooden door showed a different brilliance under the sunlight.
Xiao Liu said excitedly, "Madam, Master Du sent an invitation early, saying that he wants to invite you to his house for dinner. We must dress up nicely today."
Hu Xin'er looked at the pile of things in her arms and couldn't help shaking her head: "You silly girl, I'm pregnant, how can I use lead and black things?"
Mu Qing also said, "Why don't we invite Mr. Du to our house for dinner? Madam's pregnancy is not stable yet, so I'm afraid it's not suitable for her to move around."
Xiao Liu was a young girl, so naturally she didn't know the etiquette for pregnant women. She smiled sheepishly and said, "I was mistaken, but Master Du and the others were considerate of Madam's mobility issues, so they said we'd have dinner next door. Are you really not going?"
"They are so thoughtful, how dare we refuse." Hu Xiner agreed after hearing that. It was not good enough to offend the Du family yesterday. If she refused their invitation again today, Mr. Du would probably get angry again.
She and Mu Qing exchanged a smile. Mu Qing asked curiously, "Since we're next door, how come Mr. Du still remembered to post a message?"
A post is equivalent to an invitation. In ancient times, it was only used by those more sophisticated families or on formal and important occasions.
A man of the world like Mr. Du rarely comes into contact with such things. Even Mu Qing only used the post after being taken back to the Du family.
He came to the Du family to deliver the invitation and looked at it again and again.
Hu Xin'er also leaned over and saw the neat and elegant handwriting. She knew it was Miss Du's handwriting. "After all, the Du family has a century of family heritage. Naturally, they are different from ordinary martial artists."
Moreover, the Du family's act of delivering the note also demonstrated their appreciation for the Lu family's life-saving grace.
Xiao Liu continued, "Lord Zhao also sent a visiting card, saying he has something important to discuss with you."
It is not surprising that Zhao Yunxuan would post a message. After all, the Zhao family is not an ordinary family, and he knows the identities of Hu Xiner and others. The act of posting a message shows that although he has saved Hu Xiner and others' lives, he does not feel proud of it.
Mu Qing took the note and flipped through it casually. After seeing the words on it, he said, "This handwriting looks like it was copied from a Buddhist scripture. It seems to be written by hand. It shows sincerity."
He threw the post back onto the tray Xiao Liu was holding, and then combed Hu Xiner's long hair.
Hu Xiner looked at herself in the bronze mirror and always felt that her face was a little swollen because of her pregnancy.
She was a little bored, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, Yin Li told me that there was a traitor in my family and left in a hurry, saying that the situation was quite critical. I don't know what he is doing... Maybe we can help him now."
Before, their Lu family could hardly protect themselves, so they could only watch Yin Li in danger. Now that Zhao Yunxuan is here, maybe he can help Yin Li escape from danger.
However, Yin Li had always been elusive and did not leave her any token or secret code before leaving, so even if she wanted to find him, she had no idea where to start.
She thought of Jiang Ning again and said with a smile, "Although I don't need powder, the young lady can still dress up nicely. You can go and help her wash up. Since Master Du and the others have invited us so graciously, let's go to the banquet happily."
Xiao Liu replied crisply, "Okay!"
Mu Qing suddenly let out a soft "eh" and walked to Mother Lu's bed.
Mother Lu's fingers slightly bent, and her eyes slowly opened.
She yelled, "Mu'er, how are you?"
"Mom, are you awake?" Mu Qing and others were surprised and happy. They quickly helped Lu's mother up, bringing her water and handing her things.
Mother Lu coughed briefly a few times and spat out a mouthful of purple blood.
After a long while, she said weakly, "I dreamed that you... were in trouble and crying for your mother..."
It turned out that Mother Lu heard in her dream the misfortunes that the Lu family had encountered in the past few days, so she tried her best to wake up and help her children.
Hu Xiner was extremely relieved that she was able to regain her mother's consciousness. It seemed that the suffering the Lu family had endured in the past few days was actually a good thing.
Mother Lu looked remarkably energetic upon waking. After the doctor's examination, he congratulated everyone, saying, "Perhaps the old lady vomited out the accumulated blood clots, which is why her breathing is unimpeded. Also, she's been taking precious medicinal herbs regularly, so even though she's been unconscious for so many days, she's still fine! This is truly cause for celebration!"
Hu Xin'er almost cried with joy: "Are you serious? Is Mom really okay?"
She almost thought she was in a dream, and even pinched Mu Qing several times to confirm that this was real. She was so excited that she was at a loss for words: "Great, this is really great!"
The news spread to Jiang Ning's courtyard along with Xiao Liu. Jiang Ning immediately rushed to Lu's mother's courtyard and shouted in a crisp voice, "Auntie, you finally woke up! Ning'er missed you so much!"
When Lu Yunjue rushed in, he saw the scene of the grandparents and grandchildren who only thought about the happiness of family life. He had always been patient and restrained, but after experiencing the ups and downs of the past few days, he couldn't help but tear up: "God has mercy on us. He finally let my mother wake up!"
Through their stories, Mother Lu finally understood how many days she had been in a coma.
She placed her hand on little Jiang Ning's black hair and couldn't help laughing: "I was thinking of waking up from the dream to save you, but I didn't expect that I would be the one to drag you down."
As she laughed, tears appeared in her eyes.
"It's because we made you worry in your dreams that we woke you up." Mu Qing's eyes were gentle.
Hu Xin'er continued, "Mother, you must take your medicine carefully and don't complain about the bitterness. Our family can't survive without you, but you'll have to worry about us for another hundred years!"
Mother Lu laughed and shook her head. "You're the best talker, girl. I'm already so old, how can I live another hundred years? Wouldn't that make me an old monster?"
Everyone laughed.
But in this happy scene, there was someone who was secretly gritting his teeth.
After Jiang Ning returned to the room and dismissed the servants, his expression suddenly darkened.
She really wanted to destroy everything in the room without any care, but she had to retract her hand as soon as she reached out.
Because she was afraid of making noise and exposing her whereabouts!
"Chen, Zhou, they're all fucking trash!" She screamed silently at the mirror, a strange and ferocious expression on her delicate and beautiful face. "Just feed me the medicine one more time, and I'll succeed!"
It was because of the appearance of the Shen and Zhou families that she had been able to sit back and wait for the Lu family to collapse these days.
