Chapter 659 Jiang Ning’s True Identity
Mu Qing rubbed her head and said, "It's my fault. I didn't consider Miss Du's feelings."
Hu Xin'er held his wrist and whispered, "We are all tired."
At this moment, Hu Laosan suddenly poked his head out from outside the door and said, "Mrs. Lu, have my master and the others left?"
Hu Xiner was about to say yes, but suddenly discovered a problem.
The couple looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the Du family's house, but they were the ones who sent the Du family out. What was going on?
Fortunately, the Du family sent a servant over to reply soon.
Due to the death of Lu's mother and the awkward situation between the two families, the Du family did not plan to continue living in this house.
The Lu family was busy arranging the funeral for Lu's mother. Zhao Yunxuan had originally agreed to visit them in the afternoon. After learning about the Lu family's situation, he didn't say anything else and just tried his best to help.
After a few busy days, Lu's mother held a funeral and everyone changed into plain clothes.
Because the Lu family had no relatives or acquaintances in the local area, there was no need to hold a banquet.
A coffin was placed in the middle of the mourning hall, and the paper money in the brazier was scattered into ashes by the wind.
Hu Xin'er was pregnant and did not attend the vigil. She picked up the porridge and said to Mu Qing, "Eat something first, or you might not be able to hold on."
Mu Qing shook his head: "I can't eat it."
His voice was hoarse: "Still no news from my aunt and the others?"
Hu Xin'er said dejectedly, "They didn't leave any contact information, so it's difficult for us to find them. However, after hearing about this, Master Du promised to mobilize all the manpower in the martial arts world to help us find my aunt."
Although the marriage between the two families no longer exists, the affection between them still exists. In fact, the elders of both sides are very much in favor of this marriage, but the younger generations are unwilling, and there is nothing they can do about it.
"If my aunt knew the news of my mother's death, she would definitely rush back day and night." Mu Qing said, her eyes red again.
Hu Xin'er gently held his head in her arms: "Mother's spirit in heaven would definitely not want to see us suffering for her. Mu Qing, you still have me."
Mu Qing said hoarsely, "Xin'er, I don't have a mother anymore."
Hu Xiner couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart. Mu Qing had told her before that he was a little monster when he was young, so no one loved him. He thought Jiang Yao was his mother, so no matter how he was treated, he loved to stick to Jiang Yao.
It was not until Jiang Yao's biological son went missing, he was severely whipped, had a high fever and almost died, that he completely believed that he had no mother.
Later, when I felt the maternal love of Lu's mother, it was mostly through the identity of her younger brother.
Therefore, after he regained his memory, although he was still close to Lu's mother, there was an inexplicable barrier in his heart.
The world was not very kind to him, and he was wary of the world in return.
However, when Lu's mother passed away suddenly, he was the first to collapse.
There were dark circles under his eyes, obviously he didn't sleep well that night. In fact, Hu Xin'er also had trouble falling asleep. She was missing her mother Lu, and she also wanted her mother who died early in modern times to often hear his sobs.
Lu Yunjue knelt on the side, his situation was much worse than Mu Qing's. Ever since he broke up with Miss Du that day, Lu Yunjue's energy and spirit had visibly declined.
"There is still no news from the Du family, but Yun Jue has made himself into this state. How can anyone feel at ease?" After a while, Hu Xiner sighed and changed the subject.
Why bother? It was originally a good marriage, but it was interrupted because of a quarrel.
Mu Qing's mood also calmed down a bit. He took the porridge from her hand and handed it to Lu Yunjue: "I heard from the servants around you that you haven't had any appetite these past few days. You should eat a little."
Lu Yunjue obediently picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of porridge. After finishing it, he shook his head and said, "I can't eat any more."
Many people have tried to persuade him indirectly these days, but Lu Yunjue has always remained silent. He seems to feel that he is not worthy of Miss Du.
The plain white mourning clothes made his face look even more miserable, and most importantly, his eyes had lost their luster.
Hu Xin'er seemed to recall something and pulled out a letter from her sleeve: "Today I went to my mother's room and accidentally found this under her pillow."
The envelope was written with "From my son himself", and Mu Qing's hands trembled when he took it.
The mother who once wrote these words has now turned into a cold corpse in the coffin.
The letter read: Mu'er, Jue'er, when you receive this letter, I may no longer be here...
In her usual calm tone, Mother Lu expressed her love for her two sons and her concern for Jiang Yao.
The entire letter consisted of only two pages. Mu Qing read it very slowly. It was also the first time for Hu Xiner to open the letter, so she read it head to head with him.
After reading the first piece of letter, both the couple had tears in their eyes.
But when they reached the end of the letter, tears welled up in their eyes.
"How is this possible?" Hu Xiner murmured, her eyes widening in disbelief.
There are only two things written at the end of the letter.
"I like Xiaoqin very much. She is a good match for Yunjue. If I can wake up again, or if I die, and they fall in love, Xin'er can arrange their marriage."
"Jiang Ning must be Yaoyao's bloodline. I don't know what happened in between. She was too young to tell if she had an Adam's apple, nor do I know if she was Yaoyao's lost son. But I have confirmed her appearance and birthmark."
"Jiang Ning is my aunt's son?" Mu Qing also found it ridiculous. "But she is clearly a girl!"
Jiang Ning's expression, behavior and appearance are no different from those of a girl, and she is even more cute and adorable than ordinary girls.
She even tried to throw herself into Mu Qing's arms.
Lu Yunjue came over to read the letter at some point, and his extreme shock diluted the sadness of his mother's death.
He temporarily put aside the question of whether Jiang Ning was a boy or a girl, and instead said in astonishment, "So this is the real reason why Mother favored Jiang Ning and wanted to let her go no matter what. Why didn't she say it earlier?"
"Probably because she didn't have time," Hu Xin'er said uncertainly. "Mother might have fallen into a coma after writing the letter, and when she woke up she immediately went to discuss the marriage with Madam Du."
In front of everyone, even if her children didn't understand, she didn't want to reveal Jiang Ning's secret life story.
"If Jiang Ning is really the son my aunt lost long ago, why would he join the Crown Prince's camp?" Hu Xin'er couldn't help but bite her lip. "Is he being used by the Crown Prince as well?"
The revelation of this secret made everyone feel more complicated and heavy. Jiang Yao has always valued her sister the most. What would she think if she knew that it was her long-lost son who killed her sister?
The three members of the Lu family, who had been looking forward to Jiang Yao's return, looked at each other in silence.
