Chapter 654: Being Frank
Mu Qing choked up and said, "Mother, don't worry. From now on, I will definitely protect you and my brother. I will spend my entire life searching for all the Jiang family members left behind and fulfill your unfulfilled wish."
He also tried to close Lu's mother's eyes, but failed.
"Could it be that the old lady has any other wishes?" Du's parents also found it strange.
Generally speaking, even if a person has many unfulfilled wishes after death, he should know that he is already dead and it is not convenient for him to interfere in the affairs of the living world. Therefore, his children only need to comfort him a little in front of his corpse, and he will close his eyes peacefully, and his soul will follow the Black and White Impermanence.
Only those who were unreasonable and unreasonable during their lifetime will make things difficult for their children after they die and be reluctant to leave for a long time.
But when Mrs. Lu was alive, she didn't seem like the kind of person who would make things difficult for her own children.
So why was she reluctant to close her eyes?
Hu Xiner's sleeves suddenly moved. She was still immersed in sadness, recalling every moment she spent with Lu's mother.
Seeing that she didn't respond, he continued to wave his sleeves. He looked around in some surprise. Hey, there was no wind.
Could it be... She felt a little strange in her heart. Could it be that there really are souls in the world, and that Mother Lu's soul is by her side at this moment, pulling her sleeve?
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have been scared to death by now, but Hu Xiner thought about how good Lu's mother had been to her when she was alive, so she still bravely pinched her sleeve, but unexpectedly she felt a hard object inside.
Hu Xin'er breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be the green bamboo pen.
The moment her hand touched the pen, she seemed to enter a mysterious feeling. The inner Qi she had just cultivated surged towards the pen, and various scenes before Lu's mother's death flashed through her mind.
The picture flashed and froze. She shook her head vigorously, feeling a little unstable, and all the true energy she had cultivated in her body disappeared.
Could it be that this pen wants to remind me something?
She thought secretly, and suddenly an incredible method came to her mind.
"How about letting me try?" She asked softly, looking at the two brothers who were at their wit's end.
The two brothers naturally agreed without hesitation, as they knew how smart Hu Xin'er was.
Hu Xin'er stood in front of Lu's mother's body and said tentatively, "Don't worry, mother. A sister-in-law is like a mother. I will definitely help Yun Jue find his lifelong happiness. I know he's the one you're most worried about."
Lu Yunjue blinked in surprise. He didn't expect that his sister-in-law would come up with this idea.
Miss Du also suddenly remembered what Mother Lu said to her before she died. It seemed that what Mother Lu cared about most in her life was indeed the relationship between her and Lu Yunjue.
Hu Xiner put her hand on Lu's mother's eyelids, and her eyelids closed slightly, but not completely.
She felt relieved: "Yun Jue, come here and kneel down."
"Ah?" Lu Yunjue stepped forward subconsciously, but he didn't understand what he should do.
Mu Qing and Hu Xiner looked at each other, frowned at first, and then suddenly realized.
Hu Xin'er said seriously, "Yun Jue, swear to your mother right now that you will never let Miss Du down."
"This..." Master Du exclaimed, "When did they become friends? How come I didn't know?"
Lu Yunjue also said, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Miss Du and I are not married, and saying this will inevitably hurt her reputation."
Although Master Du knew nothing about his daughter's relationship, he flew into a rage when he saw Lu Yunjue trying to distance himself from her. "You're always flirting with our Xiaoqin, and now you're talking about reputation?"
Before he could finish his words, he let out a scream.
Madam Du stepped on his foot and sighed, "Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it anymore. Before she passed away, the old lady did discuss her marriage with Xiaoqin with my family."
"How come I don't know? When did it happen?" Mr. Du looked at his daughter in shock and found that Miss Du lowered her head slightly, obviously knowing the truth.
Hu Xiner thought to herself that this was indeed the case. Mother Lu had always been a well-educated and well-mannered person. If she had not discussed the relevant matters with the Du family, she would definitely not have said before her death that she wanted Lu Yunjue to live up to Miss Du.
only……
She looked at Madam Du questioningly: "May I ask when this happened? Why didn't Madam Du mention it to us?"
Madam Du looked at her daughter, then at the elegant second son of the Lu family kneeling on the ground, and sighed, "Before the banquet began today, the old lady and I had a private conversation in her room. At that time, she said that her time was approaching and discussed the marriage between our two families."
She paused and said, "The reason I didn't mention this matter is because I didn't agree to it on the spot."
"Mom?" Miss Du looked at her in surprise.
The friendship between the mother and daughter of the Du family is very deep. Miss Du would tell her mother about all her daughter's worries, but she never expected that her mother would actually reject the marriage of her lover for her?
"I wonder why Mrs. Du doesn't agree?" Hu Xiner couldn't help but feel worried. Yun Jue and Miss Du are in love with each other, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
But if Du's parents don't agree, it is understandable.
Because Lu Yunjue is always cold in front of outsiders. Although he has a handsome face and a better figure, you can tell at first glance that he doesn't care about others.
Moreover, he had rejected Miss Du so many times in the past, which greatly hurt Miss Du's reputation. It was natural for Du's parents to be angry.
They might be able to accept making friends with the Lu family, but they cannot let their daughter suffer!
As the saying goes, a good horse never turns back. If Miss Du were to marry him again, what would others say? Wouldn't it seem that Miss Du was completely controlled by this man?
Moreover, even in terms of family background, the two families are not a match. In the past, they only knew that the Lu family might have a prominent background, but the Du family was also one of the best families in the world, so they were not worried that their daughter would be bullied after marrying into the family.
However, now we know that the Lu family's son is either the son of the former prime minister or a royal princess!
How could this be? Miss Du's martial arts skills weren't as high as Lu Yunjue's. What if there were a rift in their relationship? What if Lu Yunjue wanted to take a concubine?
To put it bluntly, although the Lu family is small in number, with their family power, no one can stop them even if they beat Miss Du to death!
In a short period of time, Hu Xiner's mind had been turned over a thousand times, and she had thought of all the possible contradictions.
At this time, Madam Du spoke with some embarrassment, "Our Du family is committed to having descendants and passing on the family line. I'm afraid letting the Second Young Master become a live-in son-in-law would be putting him in a difficult position..."
