Chapter 655 Lifelong Regret
Hu Xiner never expected that this would be the reason.
She let out a long sigh, then said, "Mrs. Du, you're worrying too much. My Yun Jue..."
She thought about it, and felt that it was inappropriate for her to say this, so she looked at Lu Yunjue and said, "Tell me yourself, are you willing to be a son-in-law?"
Miss Du usually acts boldly and unrestrainedly, but at this moment she couldn't help but sweat in her palms. She looked at Lu Yunjue who was kneeling on the ground, and her heart was suddenly in turmoil.
Lu Yunjue met her gaze, then avoided it slightly, even his breath becoming a little disordered.
Everyone present knew that he normally never showed his emotions, but now that he was so upset because of Miss Du's matter, they all knew what he was really thinking.
Just as Master Du was about to start laughing, he heard Lu Yunjue suddenly lean forward and kowtow heavily in front of his mother's corpse: "Forgive me for being unfilial and unable to fulfill your mother's last wish."
Everyone was stunned.
Mrs. Du saw her daughter's gloomy expression and forced a smile. "Actually, you don't have to be a live-in son-in-law. As long as he continues the family line, that's fine. We're not the kind of conservative family. We can't let something like this delay our daughter's lifelong event, right?"
But before she could finish, she heard Lu Yunjue say resolutely: "Madam Du, there is no need to say anything more. I will never marry in this life."
"What?" The three members of the Du family were extremely surprised.
"Lu Yunjue, can you please say what you just said again?" Du Xiaoqin asked in disbelief.
She had no idea why her beloved had become like this.
It was obviously him who hid the flowery note in his sleeve, it was him who guarded the door all night, and it was him who risked his life to go to Zhou's house for his own safety.
Is it possible to fake this affection? And why should it be fake?
However, she could only see guilt and uneasiness in Lu Yunjue's eyes: "I'm sorry, it's all because of my frivolous offense and lack of restraint that you all misunderstood. I will never marry in this life, nor will I..."
He gritted his teeth and said, "I will never marry Miss Du."
Hearing her beloved say such words, Miss Du felt as if her heart was torn apart. She could not help but draw out her sword and pointed it at Lu Yunjue: "I will kill you, you unfaithful man!"
"Daughter, don't move. Let daddy do it!" Mr. Du was shocked.
"Ms. Du, please think twice. Yun Jue has a secret!" Hu Xiner stepped forward quickly.
She was also a little confused and didn't know why it had developed to this point.
She knew her brother-in-law. Yun Jue was a very affectionate and kind person. He would never go against his mother's words, let alone her mother's dying wish?
Therefore, she dared to bring up this topic at this time in order to fulfill Lu's mother's last wish.
Who could have expected that the always filial Lu Yunjue would be so stubborn, preferring to bear all the responsibilities on his own shoulders, and even being pointed at by Miss Du, rather than agree to the marriage?
He was pointed at by the tip of the sword, his jaw slightly tensed. He was obviously upset by Miss Du's actions, but he still stubbornly refused to say a word, thinking that he could hide his feelings in this way.
But he didn't know that even if affection was not expressed out loud, it would overflow from the eyes and from every subtle expression.
"What kind of hidden secret could there be?!" Mrs. Du's tone was calm at first, but she became angry when she saw Lu Yunjue's reaction like this.
She questioned, "Madam Lu, our family is from the underworld. Our status is not as high as yours, and our experience is not as broad as yours. But what we did just now was enough to tolerate. Your second son clearly teased my daughter, but he reacted like this. I also want to ask why."
Master Du casually picked up the broom beside him and said angrily: "Our family relationship is one of friendship, but if your little bastard dares to bully others, I will definitely seek justice for my daughter!"
Even Mu Qing couldn't help but kick Lu Yunjue: "Yunjue, there is always a way to solve the problem, but if you hurt Miss Du's heart because of this, it will be a lifelong regret."
However, Lu Yunjue was determined: "I am not worthy of Miss Du. Please find another good man."
"Are you saying this from the heart?" Miss Du stared at him intently, tears welling up in her eyes. "Lu Yunjue, I'm telling you, I've never suffered such a great humiliation in my entire life."
Lu Yunjue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were red. He didn't know whether it was because of the tears he had shed before, or because of the sudden pain in his heart.
There seemed to be many enviable things in his life. He was born into a noble family, had a peerless appearance, and was appreciated by the emperor. This was the first thing.
Later, I reunited with my family and met my beloved again, which was the second thing.
He didn't have much actual contact with Miss Du, but every bit of it was like a beautiful dream. He thought he had hidden all his feelings in his heart, not daring to let anyone notice. Although he was extremely alert in his heart, he still fell into the dream unconsciously and was obsessed with her.
However, with the family broken up and relatives killed, forced to hide in darkness, these good times were shattered one by one.
Now, another dream is about to be shattered.
He finally spoke and said, "Yes, everything I said came from my heart."
"You're lying!" Miss Du finally couldn't hold back her tears. "Lu Yunjue, you first kept rejecting me, then gave me some hope when I was about to give up. Now you say this... Do you think it's particularly fun to toy with me?"
Lu Yunjue said in a trembling voice, "I have absolutely no intention of teasing Miss Du."
A man's knees are made of gold, but he was willing to kneel on the ground and accept the accusations, because in his heart, he was indeed an unforgivable sinner.
Miss Du wiped away her tears vigorously and thrust out with the tip of her sword, causing screams, but it only chopped off half of Lu Yunjue's sleeve.
The flowered paper, the porcelain vase, and the invitation...all fell to the ground.
"Then tell me in person, if you don't have me in your heart, why do you hide these things? If you do have me in your heart, why don't you want to marry me?" Miss Du asked with tears in her eyes.
Lu Yunjue was speechless, with pain in his eyes, as if he had made a very difficult decision.
In order not to drag Miss Du down, he wanted to make a complete break with Miss Du.
Hu Xiner originally thought that Lu Yunjue could handle this matter by himself, but at this moment she couldn't help but sigh and interrupted Lu Yunjue.
She said helplessly, "Let me do it, Mu Qing, you shut his mouth."
Thinking back to when Mu Qing was pursuing me, although he was a bit arrogant, he knew how to repent and could still say some sweet words.
But this brother-in-law... Alas, he has studied poetry and books in vain, but his temperament is just like Lu's mother. How come he has become the type who keeps everything to himself?
