Chapter 720 Qingzhou Recent Situation
Hearing this, Mu Qing laughed: "You care about him so much, I'm a little jealous."
Hu Xin'er said angrily, "You just lie. They say an elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and he's been so kind to you, so of course I should care about him. Could it be that I have any improper thoughts about him?"
The smile in Mu Qing's words faded, replaced by a bitter taste: "The Second Princess's engagement is still with Yun Jue. If you want to be serious, I am just a humble concubine of yours, no different from the other male favorites in the Princess's mansion."
It turns out that he still cares about this matter. Hu Xiner laughed in her heart, but if she put herself in his shoes, what if it was herself who got married with Mu Qing, and Mu Qing's engagement was hung in someone else's house.
"Hiss—" She took a breath, "Then let's get this done quickly, so that others won't make a fuss about it."
As she spoke, she smiled at Mu Qing, "This will save you from being jealous every day! Even jealous of your own brother!"
Mu Qing picked up his pen and finished writing the letter, then carefully folded it and put it in the envelope.
Then he returned to Hu Xin'er, his eyes darkening: "My wife..."
Come to think of it, this was the first time the two of them had done serious work since Hu Xin'er became pregnant. Before, they had only been touching each other. Not to mention Mu Qing, even Hu Xin'er felt that it was like a long drought finally coming to an end. It goes without saying how sweet and affectionate the couple was.
Qingzhou, the sky clears after the snow.
Ever since Lu Yunjue and Du Xiaoqin got married, they moved out of the Du family and lived in the former courtyard of the Lu family.
Lu Yunjue had been standing at the foot of the wall for a long time. He wanted to climb over the wall, but he was worried that his wife would be angry.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say some sweet words to make his wife happy like his brother did, but in the end he was disappointed to find that all his previous knowledge of poetry and books was useless.
It seemed that all the talents that were praised by others became useless when faced with Xiaoqin's anger.
If Mu Qing saw his brother like this, he would definitely be very disappointed - how could he just get out of here when his wife is angry? He would definitely have to stick to his wife and coax her, or at least buy her all kinds of delicious and fun things to give her.
On the other side of the wall, two women were also tiptoeing and hiding by the wall.
Du Xiaoqin had just become a married woman, and she had tied up all her drooping hair, which made her pretty face look even gentler.
A few strands of hair fell down, and she circled her hands around, but she didn't know how many times she circled, but the person opposite her didn't move at all.
"Do you think he really likes me?" Miss Du couldn't help but mutter through voice transmission. "If he liked me, why did he just leave when I told him to? And why did he stand there for so long without saying a word?"
Xiao Cui hesitated and said, "That might be... you really don't like it? Miss, why don't we find a son-in-law?"
Du Xiaoqin's mouth twitched when she heard that, and she said with great difficulty, "You are truly my good girl!"
Is this the answer she wants? No!
Fortunately, another maid was very sensible: "Miss, you misunderstood. How could the son-in-law not like you? He specially cooked for you a few days ago and shredded everything in the kitchen just because he heard you like it."
Du Xiaoqin's anger turned into joy, but after a while she said sullenly, "But it's been three days. I've sent him to the study every night, but he doesn't react at all. He doesn't even come to see me during the day."
Xiao Cui was filled with righteous indignation: "Miss, he must have found a new love outside. Let me come and help you seek justice - ah!"
Du Xiaoqin kicked her angrily: "Can you say something auspicious?!"
Another maidservant consoled her, "Don't be sad, young lady. I think your son-in-law is just not good at expressing himself. He saw you were angry and I don't know how worried he was. He kept looking over here while practicing swordplay this morning and even cut his hand."
"What?" Du Xiaoqin opened her eyes wide in surprise, feeling distressed. "Why didn't anyone tell me about such a big thing?"
The maid sighed, "My uncle was embarrassed, so he told all the servants not to tell you. So, Miss, why did you kick my uncle out?"
They have seen how sweet the young lady and her husband have been these days.
Although my son-in-law doesn't like to talk, the affectionate expression on his handsome face is enough to say more than a thousand words.
Ever since the two of them got together, they did everything together, and it was almost as if pink bubbles were popping out of their bodies.
The two people's personalities complement each other. Since they have been together, the young lady's temperament has become more stable and gentle. She no longer flirts with both men and women like before.
As for my son-in-law, he smiled much more often than before.
Du Xiaoqin thought of the sweet time they had spent together, her brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed. She quietly took out a book from her sleeve, which read "Thirty-Six Strategies to Control Your Husband", and it was published by Mu Xin Comics Shop.
Ever since she got married, she liked reading comics even more. Since the characters in the comics were somewhat similar to her husband, she often imagined that Lu Yunjue could say sweet words to her like the characters in the comics.
She also couldn't wait to find the new product "Thirty-Six Strategies to Control Your Husband" from Mu Xin Comic Shop - this was sent to her personally by Zhao Si who was far away in the capital.
But……
"The previous moves all worked, but why didn't the hard-to-get trick work?" she wondered. "Is there something wrong with my method?"
A bird fluttered by and landed between the two of them, looking left and right.
Lu Yunjue caught it and took off the note from its claws.
Seeing that there was something important to do, Du Xiaoqin temporarily put aside her tactics of playing hard to get and instead climbed over the wall to read the letter with him.
In the letter, Mu Qing explained the current situation in the world and told Lu Yunjue about his plans.
"...If the Du family agrees, you can form an army as appropriate and write back to inform me. If you don't agree, it's fine. You can live well in Qingzhou..." Du Xiaoqin frowned after reading this.
Lu Yunjue looked up and asked for her opinion with his eyes, but there was a hint of grievance hidden in his eyes that was hard to detect.
Du Xiaoqin's heart softened and she turned her head away uncomfortably. She suddenly felt guilty about her neglect of her husband these days.
She coughed twice and said, "Well... I don't have any other meaning when I frown. It's not because I'm dissatisfied with you."
Lu Yunjue stretched out his hand and gently touched hers, but he didn't dare to hold hers: "If my lady has any dissatisfaction, you can speak directly."
"I... I don't have it either." Du Xiaoqin felt even more guilty. She had just been blaming Lu Yunjue for being unromantic, but now she deeply realized her mistake.
