Chapter 345 Are You Feeling Sorry for Him?
Mu Huaian's face was half immersed in the shadows, and the night dew was condensed on his brocade robe. He didn't know how long he had been standing there.
The moonlight made his taut jawline look particularly sharp, and his eyes, which were always gentle, were now dim and unclear.
Yu Qinghuan walked up to him and stood still. Not knowing why Mu Huaian was here, she asked cautiously, "Have you been here all the time?"
Mu Huaian's gaze swept from Yu Qinghuan's slightly swollen lips, to her slightly messy collar, and finally to the tightly closed door behind her.
He tried not to dwell on it, and instead asked about Cheng Gongjin's situation, "What happened to him?"
Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment and thought, Cheng Gongjin had not spoken to the people in the Duke Dingguo Mansion before, probably because he thought the poison could not be cured and that time was running out, and he didn't want to add to the sadness.
Now the poison has been resolved. In two days, the remaining poison will be cleared and everything will be fine. There is no need to hide it anymore.
However, this matter should be said by Cheng Gongjin himself, but with his personality, he probably won't say it.
Thinking of the dream about his previous life, Mu Huaian didn't know everything Cheng Gongjin had experienced until his death.
Now the two are becoming more and more distant...
After thinking for a while, she said, "Huaian, he has hidden a lot of things, but you should ask him yourself. In fact, it's not easy for him to hold on for so many years..."
Mu Huaian suddenly asked, "Are you feeling sorry for him?"
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment and stopped talking. "I just don't want you to get too awkward."
When their eyes met, Mu Huaian did not mention Cheng Gongjin again, but asked Xiao Jinghe, "Ah Huan, did he not return to the palace yesterday and stay at your house?"
When Xiao Jinghe went to court today, he looked like he hadn't slept well, or rather, he hadn't slept at all.
If he didn't sleep, then what did Ah Huan and him do?
Mu Huaian's tone was very flat when he asked, as if he was asking if anyone had eaten, but his hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists.
Although she was his own daughter, Xiao Jinghe took advantage of his power and adopted her as his adopted daughter.
Now, everyone thinks that Yu Zhaozhao is Xiao Jinghe's daughter.
He appeared indifferent, but felt bitter and aggrieved in his heart. He would rather others mistakenly believe that Xie Zhili or Cheng Gongjin was Zhao Zhao's biological father than accept Xiao Jinghe.
Yu Qinghuan noticed that Mu Huaian was in a bad mood, so she took a step forward, took his hand, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I was busy with other things and ignored you. Don't be angry..."
"Actually, the reason I kept him at the mansion last night was also because of Cheng Gongjin's matter."
Mu Huaian felt a little shaken, knowing that Yu Qinghuan definitely didn't do it on purpose. After all, Xie Zhili had been neglected for a long time recently, not just him.
Moreover, she has been busy with the restaurant and her daughter's hundred-day party recently, so she will be quite busy.
Seeing that Mu Huaian didn't say anything, Yu Qinghuan had no choice but to explain, "Huaian, Xiao Jinghe has a life-saving prescription. If I hadn't kept Xiao Jinghe last night, Cheng Gongjin wouldn't have lived for a few days."
She believed that Mu Huaian would not watch Cheng Gongjin die, so he would definitely understand if she said this.
Just as Yu Qinghuan had thought, upon hearing this, Mu Huaian realized that Cheng Gongjin's condition was far more serious than he had just imagined. "So how is he now?"
Yu Qinghuan: "He's fine now. He just needs to rest well. Doctor Li will give him acupuncture and medicine."
Mu Huaian squeezed Yu Qinghuan's hand, his Adam's apple rolling and his voice hoarse and inaudible, "Ah Huan, don't ignore me. Don't hide anything from me. I feel bad."
These days, knowing that Yu Qinghuan was busy, he had been enduring.
Watching Yu Qinghuan getting closer to Cheng Gongjin step by step, he has been enduring.
He thought that as long as Ah Huan had him in her heart and would not abandon him, he could always endure it.
But until yesterday, when he saw Xiao Jinghe bestowing a title on his daughter and staying overnight at the Yu Mansion, and he could do nothing to stop it, he became completely panicked.
He once again experienced the feeling of being powerless in the face of imperial power.
Glancing at the corners of Mu Huaian's eyes, he saw a slight redness. He rarely expressed his emotions like this. Today, he must have been extremely aggrieved.
Yu Qinghuan's heart trembled violently. She gently opened his clenched fist and interlocked their fingers. "I promised Xiao Jinghe that I would go to the palace to accompany him for four days every month. I won't hide this..."
Before she could finish her words, she was suddenly pulled into Mu Huaian's arms.
Mu Huaian rested his chin on the top of her head, breathing heavily, "Don't leave me, I really can't stand it."
Yu Qinghuan nodded, raised her hand and gently patted his back, "I won't."
A gust of quick night wind blew by, and the copper bells under the eaves rang, covering up Yu Qinghuan's sigh.
She stood on tiptoe, kissed Mu Huaian on the face, and said to the man in front of her with a solemn oath: "Don't worry, I will not forget what I promised you."
These words soothed Mu Huaian's uneasy heart, which had been caused by being ignored for some time.
He suddenly grabbed Yu Qinghuan's waist and lifted her up. The sudden feeling of weightlessness caused Yu Qinghuan to hurriedly hug his neck.
Mu Huaian led her outside. This direction was the courtyard where she was staying temporarily in the Cheng Mansion. She hurriedly said, "Mr. Cheng is still asleep. I will come over to take care of him later."
Mu Huaian said, "There are many people in the Cheng Mansion, so you don't need to guard it."
Yu Qinghuan: “…” But none of them are reliable.
Soon, the two returned to the yard. When Mu Huaian kicked open the door, Sang Ru was holding the clothes she had just taken out for Yu Qinghuan.
When she saw Mu Huaian, she was obviously stunned. She didn't know how lucky she was that she could come to Cheng Mansion privately and run into the young master.
Without waiting for the two to speak, Sang Ru lowered his head and walked out, closing the door behind them. His movements were very skillful, after all, it was not his first time.
The newly placed mattress on the couch still had the smell of being dried in the sun. Yu Qinghuan was placed on it, watching Mu Huaian untie his belt. His expression was very different from usual, and his movements when he tore open his clothes revealed an indescribable ruthlessness.
She was a little flustered, "You..."
Yu Qinghuan was silenced by a hot kiss as soon as she opened her mouth.
Mu Huaian bit her earlobe and said hoarsely, "Ah Huan, I will personally escort you for the next four days."
Yu Qinghuan didn't react to what he meant for a moment. After a while, she realized that he was talking about entering the palace. "No need, Xiao Jinghe will send someone to pick me up."
Mu Huaian's eyes were as deep as a pool, and he pulled down the bed curtains.
"Don't think about anyone else...tonight you are mine."
The shadows of the trees outside the window were swaying in the wind, and the bed in the room was creaking under the weight.
...
Sang Ru sat in the yard, enjoying the breeze and eating food and cold fruits sent from the kitchen, feeling very happy.
If there wasn't someone in the house waiting for hot water, she would even want to order a pot of wine to try it.
This is how life should be lived, to make it interesting.
