Chapter 316

When Xue Liu married into the Prince's Mansion, the Mu family gave her a lot of dowry, and Chu Lingxiu also gave her a lot of rewards in the past two years. However, most of these belongings were used by Xue Liu as gifts, so now she can give her two Ten thousand liang was already her limit.

As Xue Liu thought, when she hurried to Yanglinghou Mansion, Shen Qing and Lu Yan were talking to Mu Linyuan about the land deed of Yanglinghou Mansion.

Xue Liu neatly gave her remaining 20,000 taels to Shen Qing, and used several shops under the name of Yanglinghou Mansion as collateral, so as to prevent Yanglinghou's lifelong fame from falling into Shen Qing's hands.

After Shen Qing and Lu Yan left, Xue Liu looked at the desolate Yanglinghou Mansion and closed her eyes with sadness.

The future she had worked so hard to secure for the Mu family was completely thrown away by them.

Not to mention that Shen Qing didn't keep the millions in wealth, and even his own family fortune was emptied by Shen Qing. Xue Liu now no longer knows how to describe the talents of the Mu family.

Mu Linyuan's remorseful voice sounded in his ears: "Xue'er, you have to help us. The Yangling Marquis Mansion is not rich to begin with. Now that Shen Qing is making such a fuss, the Mu family will really not be able to survive. ah!"

Xue Liu opened her eyes and looked coldly at Mu Linyuan, whose face was full of urgency, "Father, do you think there is anything else I can do?"

"We didn't want it to get to this point. The main blame is that Shen Qing is too ignorant of promotion. She has obviously married into our family, but she is still causing a lot of trouble. Shen Yi'an is also confused. of……"

Listening to Mu Linyuan's endless complaints, Xue Liu's eyes became even more disappointed.

Xue Liu knew very well that Shen Qing was not wrong. Although she did not love Mu Ziqian, she had always abided by her duty since she married into the Yangling Marquis Mansion. However, the only thing that could not be understood from the beginning to the end was the stupid people like the Mu family. .

However, Xue Liu no longer wanted to say these words, because she knew very well that the entire Mu family was a group of people with high aspirations, and even if death was imminent, they would not feel that they were at fault.

"Father, I already have too much time to take care of myself in the Prince's Mansion. From now on, the Yanglinghou Mansion will be supported by my father."

With that said, he walked straight out with Bihen.

When passing by Mu Ziqian, Xue Liu sneered: "Now, you can live together with your Fu'er to your heart's content, but if you regret it in the future, don't let me know."

Mu Ziqian looked stunned. Looking at Xue Liu's back gradually walking away, he felt that Xue Liu seemed to be reminding him of something, but he couldn't figure out the specific details.

Seeing that Xue Liu was not prepared to interfere with the Mu family at all, but instead walked away, Mu Linyuan immediately yelled in anger: "Rebellious girl! I have not cared about the life and death of the family since I married into the Prince's Mansion. What's wrong with me, Mu Linyuan?" I will give birth to such a cruel daughter like you!"

The sound was so loud that even though Xueliu had walked far away, he still heard every word.

Xue Liu smiled suddenly, with a heart-wrenching sparkle in her eyes, "Bihen, tell me, why do I have such a father?"

Bihen didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only squeeze Xueliu's hand tightly to let her feel his warmth as much as possible.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Xue Liu fell seriously ill.

When he fell asleep, Xue Liu dreamed of Yangling Hou, whom he had not dreamed of for several years.

Marquis Yangling still had a kind look on his face, and Xue Liu couldn't help but feel his eyes turn red.

Throwing herself into Marquis Yangling's arms, Xue Liu burst into tears. Over the years, she had suffered countless grievances. However, she did not cry when she was misunderstood by Chu Lingxiu, and was schemed by Jiang Li and isolated by Ji's concubines. Even when she was slapped by Lin and scolded by Mu Linyuan, she still didn't cry. But when she saw the grandfather she was most familiar with, her tears burst instantly.

Marquis Yangling held Xue Liu into his arms with a distressed look on his face and comforted her softly: "You can cry if you want. Grandpa knows that Xue'er has been wronged."

Marquis Yangling patted Xue Liu's back as gently as he did when he was a child, but Xue Liu in his arms cried harder and harder.

"Xue'er, my grandfather originally wanted you to prosper the Mu family, but he never thought of asking you to sacrifice so much. The Mu family is stupid. There are things we can't do, so we just don't do them. Ever since I saw you After my grandmother, I also figured out that power and fame are just empty names, and they will not be taken away in life or death. As long as Xueer is good, my grandfather will be satisfied. "

Xueer stood up from Yanglinghou's arms and looked at him with hazy eyes. She saw Yanglinghou nodded to her and then gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The days with her grandfather were so beautiful, so Xue Liu began to gradually forget everything in reality. Because compared to those cruel realities, Xue Liu wanted to stay with her grandfather forever and be an innocent and carefree little girl.

Until I don't know how much time passed, Chu Lingxiu's anxious voice came to my ears: "Xue'er, don't sleep anymore, wake up quickly, the child and I are waiting for you..."

Xue Liu was startled, feeling that some memories resurfaced in her mind. The child... She seemed to have another child...

Seeing Xue Liu's confused expression, Yang Linghou said softly to her: "Xue'er, go back. Dreams are not your place to stay for a long time. Remember, your grandfather will always be by your side."

As soon as the words fell, Xue Liu suddenly felt that her consciousness began to dissipate.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Chu Lingxiu sitting on the edge of his bed with a worried look on his face.

Seeing Xue Liu wake up, Chu Lingxiu directly possessed her and held her in his arms. His voice was full of surprise, "Great, Xue'er, you're finally awake."

Xue Liu was a little dazed, letting Chu Lingxiu hold her, but she never responded to Chu Lingxiu.

Chu Lingxiu stayed by Xue Liu's side for a whole afternoon, but Xue Liu seemed to have lost her soul, not speaking or getting up, lying there quietly like a puppet.

Chu Lingxiu went to the palace overnight to invite the imperial physician to check her pulse, but there was nothing abnormal about her pulse. In the end, the imperial physician could only attribute the phenomenon to Xue Liu not wanting to wake up.

Maybe the reality was too suffocating for her, or maybe the dream was too much for her to linger, in short, she was completely immersed in her own world.

Chu Lingxiu pulled the imperial physician's sleeve and asked him how to treat her, but the imperial physician didn't know, so he could only ask Chu Lingxiu to whisper some words about their memories in her ear to call her back.

As for whether she was willing to return to reality in the end, it all depended on Xue Liu.

So all night, Chu Lingxiu kept talking and talking about something while holding Xue Liu, but until the morning court, he didn't get a single response from Xue Liu.

Chu Lingxiu had no choice but to go to the morning court first.

And just when Chu Lingxiu left Bihen and came in, Xue Liu's eyes finally moved.

She had actually woken up a long time ago, but she just didn't want to contact anyone, including Chu Lingxiu.

Chu Lingxiu loved her, which Xue Liu saw clearly, but Xue Liu also knew that Chu Lingxiu loved power more than herself.

Bihen was about to moisten Xue Liu's lips when she heard Xue Liu's hoarse voice: "Bihen."

Bihen was startled, and then said in surprise: "Master!"

Xue Liu said "hmm", and then got up and leaned against the head of the bed with the help of Bihen.

From Bihen, Xue Liu learned that she had been in a coma for seven days, and tomorrow would be the first day of July.

At the same time, she also knew that Mu Linyuan had come to see her several times in the past seven days, and when he learned that she had been in a coma, he could only leave unwillingly for the time being.

Xue Liu sighed softly. How could she not know why Mu Linyuan was looking for her? It was just that she didn't have what Mu Linyuan wanted.

After Chu Lingxiu finished the morning court, he went straight to Xue Liu's yard.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Xue Liu sitting under the albizzia tree playing the piano. The tiny pink petals fell on the corners of her white skirt. Such a beautiful and warm scene made Chu Lingxiu reluctant to disturb her.

Until the end of the song, Chu Lingxiu hurried forward, took Xue Liu's hand and asked nervously: "Xue'er, are you okay?"

Xue Liu smiled and nodded, but I don't know if it was Chu Lingxiu's illusion. Xue Liu's smile was still as gentle and affectionate as before, but Chu Lingxiu always felt that it was less real.

It was like a person who had no attachment to the world for a long time, even the smile was illusory.

Faintly feeling that something was quietly moving away from him, Chu Lingxiu subconsciously grabbed Xue Liu's hand, and then hugged her tightly in his arms, as if to rub her into his bones and blood, "Xue'er, don't leave me, okay?"

Xue Liu responded softly, but that voice did not give Chu Lingxiu a sense of security, but made him more panicked.

In order to relieve the panic in his heart, Chu Lingxiu began to stay in Xue Liu's yard all day like before, as if this would bring back the former Xue Liu.

It was not until the sixth day of July that the news of Chu Lingyuan's assassination and whereabouts was unknown came, and Chu Lingxiu left reluctantly to busy himself with his own affairs.

Looking at Chu Lingxiu's back as he strode away, Xue Liu smiled gently.

Chu Lingyuan was Chu Lingxiu's great enemy. Now the enemy's life and death was unknown. Chu Lingxiu was busy looking for Chu Lingyuan's whereabouts. If Chu Lingyuan was not dead, it would be good to give him another stab in time.

So Chu Lingxiu didn't come for the next two days, but he still sent his confidant to check on Xue Liu's condition. After seeing that Xue Liu was doing fine, he went back to do his own things with peace of mind.

Without Chu Lingxiu by her side, Xue Liu did things as she pleased, drinking tea, appreciating flowers, and playing the piano, just like a normal person.

However, on the morning of July 8, bad news came from Yangling Marquis's Mansion-

Lin was dead, Lin Xuefu was also dead, and Yangling Marquis's Mansion was burned down by a fire by nearly one-third, including the courtyard where Yangling Marquis lived before his death.

Xue Liu trembled, but fortunately Bihen helped her in time, so she didn't fall to the ground.

Without any hesitation, Xue Liu took Bihen back to Yangling Marquis's Mansion.

The two small courtyards that were once filled with memories of her and Yangling Marquis had been completely burned to ashes by the fire, leaving no trace of the past.

Xue Liu felt that a piece of her heart was missing in an instant, but she had to face such a cruel reality.

The only good thing she had in this world was gone.

"Puff——"

In grief, Xue Liu spit out a mouthful of blood.

Bi Hen hurriedly called out "Please call a doctor", but was stopped by Xue Liu, "No need, I'm fine, let's go to the ancestral hall."

In the ancestral hall, looking at the tablet of Yangling Hou, Xue Liu said in pain: "Grandfather, I'm sorry, I didn't even leave the last memory between us."

Kneeling on the futon in front of the tablet, Xue Liu chattered for a long time before she stood up and left with a determined look.

Xue Liu went to Lin's mourning hall, and looking at the solemn coffin, Xue Liu finally shed tears.

Even if she hated and disappointed Lin, Lin was her mother after all. Now that Lin died tragically, it was impossible not to be sad.

But the culprit of all this was the Mu family themselves.

Forget it, it's all her own fault. She won't care about the affairs of the Mu family anymore.
