Chapter 317

However, just as Xue Liu finished her thoughts, she heard a servant walking towards her quickly: "Concubine, something happened. Please go to the young master's yard and take a look. The Marquis is about to collapse."

Xue Liu looked surprised, but seeing the servant's anxious face, she followed him.

However, before Xue Liu approached Mu Ziqian's Hongyan Hall, she saw a large circle of people watching the show at the door, saying something like "the eldest son of Yangling Marquis's Mansion is really 'filial', and I didn't expect him to have a sexual habit."

A bad thought immediately arose in Xue Liu's heart, and she asked Bihen to disperse the crowd. She saw Mu Ziqian wrapped in a thin sheet and lying on the ground side by side with several other naked servants, including a woman over 50 years old.

Seeing this scene, how could Xue Liu not understand that Mu Ziqian was being plotted against.

And the person who plotted against him... as expected, it was Shen Yian and his group who were walking in the front.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Xue Liu asked Bi Hen to disperse the crowd, and told Yangling Hou to personally escort the court officials out of the mansion and postpone the condolences. Then she asked the servants to throw the people on the ground back into the house and let them clean up before coming out.

Although Xue Liu didn't know, she could vaguely guess the outline of the matter.

But when she heard the truth from Mu Linyuan and Mu Ziqian, Xue Liu couldn't help but spit out blood in anger.

In order to save Shen Qing, Mu Linyuan and his son actually came up with a sinister trick to make Mu Ziqian and Shen Qing have a fait accompli at Lin's funeral!

Not to mention how blasphemous this was to Lin, Shen Qing was now Lu Yan's fiancée. She was so openly doing dirty things in her own mansion. Was she afraid that the revenge from Jing'an Palace would be too light?

If Xue Liu was disappointed with the Mu family before, she was chilled now.

In order to achieve their goals, they could even use their recently deceased wife and mother!

Such a Mu family is not worth Xue Liu's nostalgia, even sympathy.

So, Xue Liu cut off contact with Yangling Marquis Mansion without hesitation. Blood ties cannot be severed, but contacts can be made.

Looking at Xue Liu's resolute and indifferent back, Mu Linyuan, in anger, directly picked up the teacup at hand and smashed it hard. For a moment, Mu Linyuan really wanted to kill Xue Liu, the daughter who had been out of control.

Xue Liu was already pregnant, and her body was already weak after vomiting blood twice. It was really difficult to avoid it. Just when Xue Liu thought that she could not escape this time, she saw Bihen flashing in front of her.

The teacup came at a rapid speed and hit Bihen's back of the head with a "bang". The splashing blood bloomed into flowers in front of Xueliu's eyes. Seeing Xueliu's unharmed appearance, Bihen smiled. The low voice was trapped in her throat, but Xueliu still heard it clearly. She said: "Master, don't worry, Bihen is fine."

Holding Bihen's fallen body, Xueliu's palms were completely stained with blood. Feeling Bihen's increasingly weak breathing, Xueliu felt that her heart was slowly being torn apart. She quickly asked the guards to pick up Bihen and go to the nearest clinic.

Before leaving, Xueliu glanced at Mu Linyuan coldly. In her once gentle and moist eyes, there was only a terrifying coldness.

Mu Linyuan's smash completely broke the father-daughter relationship between the two.

...

Bihen was seriously injured, but fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time, and Xueliu was willing to use medicine, so Bihen woke up after being in a coma for only a few days.

When Bihen opened her eyes, she saw Xueliu sitting in front of her bed with a weak face. Because of the continuous stimulation, she had a miscarriage. Xueliu was able to get out of bed only this morning. She ate a few bites of breakfast and rushed to Bihen.

"How are you? Does your head still hurt?"

Bihen wanted to shake her head, but as soon as she had this thought, she felt a sharp pain in her head.

Xueliu quickly grabbed her hand, "Don't move, you are seriously injured and need to be well nursed back to health."

Bihen was about to respond, but at this moment, she heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from outside the door. The movement was so familiar, "Master..."

Xueliu smiled bitterly, "It doesn't matter, it's just another new person."

Today is the happy day for Chu Lingxiu to marry the daughter of Minister Cui as a concubine.

Logically speaking, Jiang Li had just married, so Chu Lingxiu shouldn't have married a concubine so soon. However, Cui's daughter was the concubine that the queen had long appointed to Chu Lingxiu, and Jiang Li also agreed to this matter. Moreover, Cui's daughter was not young anymore, so they chose an auspicious day to hold the marriage.

Xue Liu knew that Chu Lingyuan's whereabouts were unknown, and Yangling Marquis' Mansion had completely become a useless chess piece. It was the most important thing for Chu Lingxiu to win over the court officials and marry a concubine.

Bi Hen grabbed Xue Liu's palm hard, silently comforting her.

Xue Liu's smile deepened, and her voice was filled with relief, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Now, I just want you to get better soon."

As she spoke, a trace of sadness flashed across Xue Liu's eyes, "Bihen, I only have you now."

...

Just as the matter of taking a concubine came to an end, Chu Lingxiu hurried over, with a trace of guilt in his eyes. He took Xue Liu's hand and said softly, "Xue'er, I know you understand me. Now that Chu Lingyuan is missing and the court officials are hesitant, it is the best time to win over the court officials."

And Minister Cui was the most important one among the court officials who had not yet taken their positions.

Xue Liu smiled, with a look of indifference that saw through everything, "Don't worry, Your Highness, Xue'er understands."

However, understanding does not mean that it can be accepted.

"It's getting late, Your Highness, go and accompany Concubine Cui. She just got married today. If Your Highness doesn't come for a long time, she might think too much."

Looking at Xue Liu's sensible appearance, Chu Lingxiu rubbed her soft hair with a distressed face, "Then I will come to see you tomorrow."

Xue Liu nodded, got up and sent Chu Lingxiu out, but Chu Lingxiu shook his head, "It's cool at night, you just recovered, don't bother."

Xue Liu responded lightly and watched Chu Lingxiu leave at the door.

When she saw Chu Lingxiu's back completely swallowed by the night, Xue Liu couldn't help but shed tears.

My heart also suddenly hurt.

Xue Liu used to feel guilty because Chu Lingxiu treated her with all his tenderness while she was full of calculations. But now, after she really fell in love, she realized how painful it was to watch her lover walk into someone else's room.

The past memories were so beautiful that Xue Liu even forgot when she fell in love with Chu Lingxiu.

Was it the time when he put aside his title of prince and pretended to be an ordinary couple with her and wandered in the streets, or when he embraced her in his dreams every night as a husband, or when he carried her up the mountain to appreciate plum blossoms despite the slippery snow, or when he stayed up all night and talked to her in her ear?

The two of them experienced so much that Xue Liu couldn't remember clearly.

However, it is clear that the past emotions are now gradually disappearing with the successive entry of concubines into the mansion.

It is true that Chu Lingxiu was the first time Xue Liu's heart was moved in 19 years, but compared to that emotion, Xue Liu cares more about herself.

It was obvious that Chu Lingxiu, the crown prince of Great Chu, was not the man that Xue Liu should love.

From the moment she agreed to marry into the Prince's Mansion, Xue Liu knew that she would never have love in this life.

It was just that Chu Lingxiu treated her so well and so purely, which made her forget what she should do for a short time.

Now, she only lives for herself and for the child in her belly.

Because there was a new person in the Prince's Mansion, the pressure on Xue Liu was much less, and Xue Liu was happy and comfortable. After paying respects to Jiang Li every day, she would stay in her own small courtyard to accompany Bi Hen to recover.

About seven or eight days later, Bi Hen was basically able to get up, and the weather in Great Chu was already the hottest. Even in the morning, she could sweat.

Xue Liu was now six months pregnant, and her body was heavy, and the weather was hot, so she was even more reluctant to move.

However, on the morning of July 20th, a servant brought news that Mu Linyuan was asking to see Xue Liu at the gate of the mansion.

Xue Liu asked the servant to reject Mu Linyuan without thinking.

Xue Liu knew that Mu Linyuan came because he had no money.

Ever since Shen Qing took away half of the shops from the Mu family, Mu Linyuan has been living on the remaining four shops.

But the profit of a shop is only a few hundred taels a month at most, and the four shops together are only a thousand taels, and Mu Linyuan is used to being rich, and there is a big family to support in Yangling Marquis Mansion, so the thousand taels are not enough.

At first, if it was not enough to spend, he could grit his teeth and mortgage the shop directly, but what if the shop was sold out? I am afraid that Xue Liu is the only way left.

However, Mu Linyuan is destined to be disappointed, because Xue Liu's way is not feasible at all.

Sure enough, after being rejected by Xue Liu, Mu Linyuan left cursing.

Since food and clothing had become a problem, his face was really useless, so Mu Linyuan came again the next day. This time, he had foreseen that Xue Liu would probably not see him, so he wrote a letter in advance and asked the servant to bring it in.

Xue Liu did not even look at it and directly tore it into pieces and threw it into the small fish pond at the door.

At this point, it was too late for Mu Linyuan to say anything.

Mu Linyuan waited for an hour and got no response, so he knew that Xue Liu was really determined this time.

But life without money was really hard, so Mu Linyuan came again on the third day. This time, he was completely desperate. Not only did he make a scene at the door of the Prince's Mansion, saying that Xue Liu was unkind and unfilial for abandoning her parents, but he also tore a piece of his clothes off on the spot and threatened to write a blood letter to ask Chu Lingxiu to divorce Xue Liu, a heartless and ungrateful person.

For a while, Xue Liu became a joke in the entire Prince's Mansion.

Bihen was so angry that she had a headache, but Xueliu's face showed no emotion. "Don't worry about it. Someone will take care of it."

As Xueliu said, Mu Linyuan didn't cause any big trouble the first two times, and he was the Yangling Marquis of the dynasty, so Jiang Li didn't do anything. But today it has come to this point. It's really unreasonable for Jiang Li to not care.

After all, he is the father of the concubine in the mansion, and he is also a marquis of the dynasty, so Jiang Li can't forcefully drive him away. Instead, he asked someone to invite Mu Linyuan into the mansion respectfully. After asking about the cause and effect of the matter, Jiang Li said nothing, but directly gave Mu Linyuan 1,000 taels of silver and let him leave.

It was a lot of silver, but Mu Linyuan felt like a beggar at this time, but after thinking it over, he chose to take the silver note.

When Xueliu learned about this, she felt that her breath was stuck in her chest and she couldn't breathe out.
