Chapter 660 Invitation
In her suicide note, Mother Lu also wrote that her body should be cremated into ashes. She did not want her body to be buried in the Lu family's ancestral tomb and be eaten by insects and ants, and she did not want to have any further entanglement with the Lu family.
Ever since the failure to reach an agreement with the Du family, the relationship between the two families has become much more distant. The Lu family has been deserted for a while, and it can be said that they have had some peace and quiet.
Zhao Si closed the comic book shop and helped the Lu family with their business.
Yin Li had done a lot for the Lu family recently. In order to protect Hu Xiner's safety, he stayed in the Lu family these days.
He and Mu Qing have always been at odds with each other, but this time, they rarely caused any trouble.
It was a rare sunny day, so Hu Xiner had the leisure to sit in a rocking chair and bask in the sun, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Yin Li played with her fan and lay heartlessly beside her in the rocking chair. "Meeting and parting are common in the world. Madam Lu has not lived a carefree life. Instead of lying in bed in a daze every day, it's better to end things early. Don't worry too much."
"That's not what's bothering me." Hu Xin'er sighed. "Although it's winter now, Mother's body can't be left here for long. If my aunt and the others don't come back soon, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Yin Li sighed, "If they had known they could rely on the Du family's connections to find medicine, why would they have traveled so far?"
Hu Xin'er rubbed her brows and said, "It was our miscalculation. Besides, my aunt is so wary, I'm afraid she won't be willing to cooperate with the Du family."
"That's true." Yin Li agreed. "If I remember correctly, she was the one who insisted on leaving the capital."
Hu Xin'er stared blankly at the bare branches by the wall. She was wearing a moon-white jacket and skirt today, which was much larger because of her belly.
There have been many changes recently. Most pregnant women would gain a lot of weight after pregnancy, but Hu Xiner seemed to have no obvious changes except for her belly.
Fortunately, there were pregnancy-preserving medicines and supplements from various sources, and her body had been well maintained, so she didn't look thinner.
The sunlight fell on the smooth and soft satin, making her look gentle.
Yin Li's eyes fell on her belly, and she asked curiously, "Are you going to hire a midwife?"
"Ah?" Hu Xin'er came back to her senses and touched her belly. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. The doctor in the mansion said today that he could introduce a few to our family when the time comes."
"Don't let the prince's spies get in." Yin Li said casually.
"You're such a jinx," Hu Xin'er clapped her hands, "Then I'll send you to screen those midwives."
Yin Li narrowed her eyes, her gaze gradually becoming more dangerous: "Hu Xin'er, don't go too far. Do I look like someone who can do this kind of work?"
Hu Xin'er shook her head sincerely: "Of course not."
As the two were talking, Mu Qing hurried over and said, "The Du family and Zhao Yunxuan have sent over quite a few things, saying they're for your pregnancy. The Du family even sent over a few midwives."
Hu Xin'er glanced at Yin Li with great pride: "See, I didn't even need to ask for anything, and someone sent it to me."
Yin Li slapped the handle of the fan against her palm and retorted with a smile: "Yes, she is your true love after all. Seeing that you are pregnant, it is natural for me to care about you."
Both husband and wife were stunned: "How did you know this?"
Only the couple knew about the ringing of the bell, and even if they accidentally let slip about their true love, they both instructed their servants not to tell anyone.
But Yin Li actually said it in one sentence, how can people not be surprised?
Yin Li snorted and laughed, "I have my own clever plan, so I won't tell you mortals."
Having experienced the pain of Lu's mother's death, Mu Qing had no intention of being jealous. He took his wife's hand and said gently, "Zhao Yunxuan sent someone over to tell you something in person and asked you to come over to the house for a chat."
"Would you like to come over for a chat?" Yin Li raised his voice unconsciously, and when he met the couple's strange gazes, he touched his nose awkwardly.
He put his hands behind his back as if nothing had happened and turned around in circles. He didn't believe that Mu Qing, a petty-minded guy, would let his wife go to Zhao Yunxuan's place.
Therefore, he had to hold back from speaking to avoid being laughed at, and instead wait for Mu Qing to stop Hu Xiner himself.
Just as he had arranged all the plots in his mind, Hu Xin'er said, "Yin Li, let's go to the Zhao family. Do you want to come?"
Yin Li raised his eyebrows slightly and thought, Mu Qing is indeed a sinister person.
"It's obvious that Mu Qing doesn't want Hu Xin'er to go to the Zhao family, but he has to let Hu Xin'er ask me. Isn't this trying to show that I'm stingy?" Yin Li thought secretly, and said arrogantly that it didn't matter.
Hu Xiner felt a little strange. Usually, Yin Li would follow her wherever she went, so why did she change her temper today?
However, she didn't care so much, but waved at Yin Li: "Then we will go out, you help to look after the Dianyun Jue, thank you for your hard work!"
Mu Qing also nodded and said, "Master Yin, thank you for your hard work."
After receiving the thanks, Yin Li curled his lips slightly and thought, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal, even provoking him will not work.
Not long after, he stood there looking at the couple's backs as they left, and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
Mu Qing, can he really feel at ease taking Hu Xiner to meet her true love?
Is this still the same arrogant and jealous person?
According to common sense, shouldn't Mu Qing be throwing a tantrum and showing a bad face, while Hu Xin'er coaxes him to stay at home?
Damn it, how could they leave so easily now?
Is he, Yin Li, the only one in this world who cares about this matter?
Zhao Yunxuan personally sent a carriage and elite soldiers to escort the couple. On the way, the couple listened to the vendors hawking outside and passers-by chatting, and they felt as if they were in another world.
Such liveliness and excitement, including a leisurely mood, have not been seen in the entire Lu Mansion since the death of Lu's mother.
Hu Xiner couldn't help but lift the carriage curtain to look outside. Perhaps because it was a rare sunny day, passers-by of all kinds looked three times more sunny and cheerful than usual, and even the dark streets were illuminated by the sunlight.
She was unconsciously daydreaming again, and suddenly felt her shoulder sink. It was Mu Qing who leaned his head on her shoulder and fell asleep.
This was probably the soundest sleep Mu Qing had had in a while. He might have found a moment of peace in the long-lost sunlight and the voices of people in the streets.
She thought for a moment, then quietly supported her husband's head as the carriage drove forward in the sunshine.
She hoped that this road could be longer and longer, so that her husband, who had not rested for a long time, could make up for the sleep he had missed in the past few days.
Zhao Yunxuan now lives in the old house of Prefect Shen, which is full of literary atmosphere. Since he is only staying there temporarily, he did not touch the furnishings inside.
At this time of year, a few green bamboos emerge from the top of the wall, swaying in the wind.
The moment the carriage stopped, Mu Qing woke up. He looked at Hu Xiner apologetically, wanting to ask if her shoulders were tired.
Hu Xiner smiled gently and shook her head.
