Chapter 293 Why Her?
Mu Huaian's eyes turned red quietly, and he questioned Cheng Gongjin in a hoarse voice, every word coming to his mind with tears in his eyes.
“…When did it happen?”
Cheng Gongjin's eyes swept over his pale face. "I live next door to the courtyard she moved to after leaving the Marquis' Mansion."
At this moment, Mu Huaian lost control of his emotions.
He remembered that there was a wooden door in that yard that had never been locked. He also asked Yu Qinghuan, who said that someone next door had a cat that often ran into the yard.
He should have thought that the teacher liked cats.
What you should also think about is that with the teacher's personality, how could he help you take a woman out of the palace so easily, unless he had selfish motives.
He even thought of Xie Zhili's words. At that time, he had quarreled with Xie Zhili for the teacher. Even last night, he had defended the teacher after Xie Zhiwen misunderstood him, for fear of ruining the teacher's reputation.
Those details that Mu Huaian had ignored now surfaced in his mind bit by bit, mocking his carelessness.
At that time, I thought the teacher had a girl he liked, and I never thought about it too deeply.
It was not a pleasant feeling to be betrayed by both the woman he loved and the closest relative he respected. Mu Huaian's feet felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move. His hands were clenched so hard under his sleeves that they hurt, but the pain of his nails digging into his palms couldn't suppress the rage and despair surging in his chest.
He wanted to grab Cheng Gongjin by the collar and yell, but he lowered his voice, "If you want a woman, there are many willing women in the capital, why her?"
"You know how much I care about her..."
Cheng Gongjin had already made all preparations, even death could be treated calmly, not to mention the trivial matter at hand. Facing Mu Huaian's questioning, he only replied calmly, "Back in the study, I asked if you were willing to give it up. You said that if I liked it, just take it."
These words instantly brought Mu Huaian back to a few months ago, and the conversation at that time echoed in his ears...
"If in the future you get a cat or something you like, and I happen to like it too..."
"Are you willing to give up?"
"Whatever the teacher likes, as long as it's available in Huai'an, just take it."
Mu Huaian's face became increasingly ugly. At that time, how could he know that the teacher was referring to Yu Qinghuan.
If I had known, I would never have said that.
Cheng Gongjin saw that he was silent, and it was obvious that he had remembered something. He said in a deep voice, "Before, you wanted the cat, and I gave it to you. Now I want her, what do you think?"
Mu Huaian gritted his teeth and grabbed Cheng Gongjin by the collar, "But she is a human, not an object, and certainly not a cat!"
How can we make...
He could share it with Xie Zhili, and he could accept Xiao Jinghe's presence, but he could not accept any intimacy between Cheng Gongjin and Yu Qinghuan in front of him.
This is the person closest to him. He taught him to read and write since he was a child. In his heart, he respects her more than his father and mother.
Except for Yu Qinghuan, he would give up anything his teacher asked for - even his life.
Cheng Gongjin stopped talking, pulled his hand from under his collar, turned around with the food box, and went back to the house.
After all, Yu Qinghuan was obviously unable to sit still at this moment.
How could Mu Huaian let him enter this room again? He grabbed Cheng Gongjin's hand, his eyes red, and begged with a sob, "I will take her away today. Please stay away from her in the future."
As long as the teacher doesn't appear in front of Yu Qinghuan again, he can pretend that he saw nothing today and continue as usual.
Yu Qinghuan is too important for him to let go, and he will not follow in the footsteps of his good friend Xie Zhiwen.
Cheng Gongjin's eyes darkened suddenly, and he shook off Mu Huaian's hand, "I'm afraid I can't."
At this time, in the inner room, I could vaguely hear two low voices talking at the door, but I couldn't hear them clearly. I still couldn't wait for Cheng Gongjin to come back and hug me.
Yu Qinghuan got off the bed in confusion, picked up a coat and put it on, then walked out, "Cheng Gongjin, what have you been doing at the door——"
The voice stopped abruptly when it met Mu Huaian's gaze.
She stood there, staring blankly. This scene happened too suddenly. For a moment, she didn't know how to react.
Through the mask, Mu Huaian's eyes fell on her, her loose hair, the red marks on her neck that had not yet faded, and even her loose undergarment with only an outer shirt on.
Even if I don't want to think too deeply about it, the scene before my eyes confirms what these two people did in the house.
Yu Qinghuan looked at Cheng Gongjin, asking him with his eyes when Mu Huaian came and why he didn't tell her.
Because she didn't know whether Mu Huaian had noticed, she even held a glimmer of hope. What if?
Seeing Cheng Gongjin's expression as calm as if nothing had happened, Yu Qinghuan pulled the corners of her stiff mouth, "Huai'an, why are you here?"
Mu Huaian's Adam's apple rolled, his heart sank, and he trembled with pain. He looked at Yu Qinghuan with hurt eyes, his voice hoarse and untuned, "Can't I come?"
Yu Qinghuan's face turned pale instantly, and he staggered, holding onto the door frame.
This...seems like you know it.
The air suddenly froze, and she didn't even know how to explain it.
Cheng Gongjin spoke, breaking the silence, "Are you hungry? Come in and eat something."
As he spoke, he reached out and held Yu Qinghuan's hand, and was about to take her back to the house.
Mu Huaian suddenly reached out and grabbed Cheng Gongjin's hand that was holding Yu Qinghuan's. "Teacher, are you going to bring my woman into the house in front of me?"
Yu Qinghuan was extremely embarrassed. She felt that the situation was not good and wanted to escape.
Although Cheng Gongjin has a cold personality, he always shows some emotions that he doesn't usually have in front of Yu Qinghuan. Even when facing his own nephew, he does not give in at all.
"She is my woman too."
Such words made Mu Huaian feel like he was struck by lightning, and he could no longer remain calm and rational.
Once upon a time, he had said such words to Xie Zhili. At that time, facing Xie Zhili, he had the same attitude as Cheng Gongjin in front of him.
But now that it happens to me... I know how painful this feeling is.
He held Cheng Gongjin's hand tightly, "She is pregnant with my child, please respect yourself."
Cheng Gongjin didn't care. It was already like this when he met Yu Qinghuan.
Since he can accept it, he will not be affected by a few words from the younger generation.
But Mu Huaian's appearance as if he had taken over the identity of the child's biological father made him feel a little annoyed.
"So what if it's yours? She just said she wanted to have a child with me in two years."
Hearing this, Mu Huaian's veins throbbed as he clutched Cheng Gongjin's hand, and he suddenly looked at Yu Qinghuan.
Yu Qinghuan silently lowered her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She wished she could escape, and cursed Cheng Gongjin inwardly...
Didn’t you say you didn’t want it? Why are you bringing it up now?
At his age, it would be fine if he were to compete with the younger generation, but now he can even say such jealous words. Where has the composure of the Prime Minister of the dynasty gone?
The three of them formed a strange triangle confrontation at the door. When Sang Ru came back, she saw this scene and was dumbfounded.
No, I was gone for less than an hour?!
