Chapter 163: Severing Relations
Mu Yu glanced at Xie Chongning, who was following closely behind, and took a deep breath, "I won't go back with you, father." ”
"Not going back?" Mu Heyun was stunned for a moment, "This is not the time for you to make trouble, now that he has no official position, and he has to leave the capital, if you don't go back with me, will it be possible that you will follow him to suffer?" ”
"Father, I can't leave at this time." Mu Yu walked to Xie Chongning's side, "He resigned from his official position and has to leave the capital, it is even more impossible for me to choose to leave at this time, father, I will not ask for his book of reconciliation today, and I will not go back with you." ”
"Mu Yu! In the past, I could spoil you no matter how willful you were, but today, you must listen to me and go back with me. Mu Heyun was furious and stepped forward to take her hand.
Xie Chongning stood in front of him first, blocking between Mu Heyun and Mu Yu, "You are Yu'er's father, I call you a father-in-law, if Yu'er is willing to go back with you today, I have nothing to say, but if Yu'er is unwilling, don't want to take her away." ”
"You're so daring! Now that you don't have an official position, you are nothing in my eyes, and you dare to stop me? I will surely bring the rumors back today. Mu Heyun said, and then went to pull Mu Yu again.
Mu Yu hid behind Xie Chongning, pulled the corner of his clothes, and took half a step forward, "Father, I know that you are for my good, but no matter what today, I will not go back with you." ”
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Mu Heyun glared at his daughter, his eyes split.
Mu Yu nodded, "Father, I know what I'm talking about, and I also know that you don't want me to leave the capital and suffer, but I won't choose to leave at this time, I ......"
She turned her head sideways and looked at Xie Chongning beside her, she knew what state Xie Chongning was in now, and how many people would be hunted down and killed when she left the capital at home.
But it is precisely like this, she must stay by Xie Chongning's side at least at this time, when Xie Chongning is the most depressed, how could she choose to abandon him? "Father, please don't force me."
"Forcing you?" Mu Heyun covered his chest, pointed at Mu Yu and shook his head, "You said I forced you?" You kid, I can't tell if you're smart or stupid! Good! Good! Good! I'll ask you one last time, you will come back with me today. ”
Mu Yu was just about to open his mouth, but Mu Heyun said again, "Think about it, if you don't go back with me today, don't blame me for not recognizing your daughter in the future!" ”
Xie Chongning's black pupils suddenly flashed, he stood beside Mu Yu and pursed his lips slightly, revealing a trace of uneasiness, he was happy that Yu Er was willing to leave the capital with him.
It's just that this rumor has to pay such a price, after the rumor, will you resent yourself?
"Rumor......" Xie Chongning softly called Mu Yu's name.
Mu Yu immediately grabbed his hand and gave him a smile, "Father, if you really love your daughter, you can trust your daughter?" I don't want to lose my father, but I also don't want to abandon him at this time. ”
Even though Mu Yu said this, Mu Heyun's attitude still did not change, and he still asked her to make a choice, "Think about it, your mother, and I will not allow you to leave the capital with him, no matter what!" ”
"Father? Do you have to be so embarrassed that your daughter makes a choice? Mu Yu asked, "Why does my father keep refusing me to be with him?" ”
"Just because you're my daughter." Mu Heyun glanced at Xie Chongning, "And he is just an orphan of the Xie family." ”
Mu Yu was silent, and then chuckled twice, she took care of Xie Chongning at first, but she knew that Xie Chongning would kill the Luanping Marquis Mansion, so she had to take care of him in order to protect herself.
But as she gradually got along, she felt more and more that Xie Chongning was not so cold-blooded, and he was just a poor child due to the environment, so she felt a little more distressed.
Now, when she sees so many people, she is prejudiced against Xie Chongning for no reason, and she wants to fight for him, but the person in front of her is her father, who has loved her since childhood.
"Father, my daughter wants to say sorry to you today, my daughter will not go back with you."
Mu Heyun clenched his fists and pointed at Mu Yu, "This is your final decision?" ”
Mu Yu nodded slightly, although he felt guilty, but his heart was also firm.
"Okay, from today onwards, I, Mu Heyun, will no longer have your daughter!" Mu Heyun angrily threw down his sleeves and walked out of the door.
Mu Yu looked at his back and sighed abruptly, "Look, from today onwards, I will be the same as you, and the two of us will wander the rivers and lakes together." She joked.
But Xie Chongning, who was beside him, was suddenly dragged into his arms and hugged him tightly, "Yu'er, you don't have to do this for me, if you regret it......"
"What do I regret?" Mu Yu slowly raised his head from Xie Chongning's arms, "How could I abandon you when you were in the most difficult time?" It's not my character. ”
Xie Chongning looked at her seriously, and when Mu Yu wanted to dodge, he put his big hand on her cheeks and smiled gently, "Okay, I will never abandon you." ”
"Why did you suddenly say it so insensitively." Mu Yu bit his lower lip a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but dodge his eyes, "What is the relationship between us, I have long regarded you as a brother, and I can't abandon you when you suffer." ”
"Huh? Brother? Xie Chongning's face stiffened, "You left the Mu family for me, did you really just treat me as an elder brother?" ”
"Yes, yes! It's my brother. Mu Yu's heart was beating wildly, poof, poof. She hurriedly took two steps back, afraid that her heartbeat would be too loud and Xie Chongning would notice.
Xie Chongning looked at her dodging appearance, and his eyes suddenly showed helplessness.
Xie An quickly packed up, dismissed his subordinates, and they got into the carriage and prepared to hit the road. Although the weather was cold, Mu Yu still lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the snow outside the window.
Leaving like this today, I don't know when I will be able to come back again, maybe, it is really like what Xie Chongning said, never set foot in the capital again.
"Rumors!" There was a sudden shout from behind the traveling carriage, Mu Yu poked his head out, and it was none other than his mother and eldest brother who appeared behind the carriage.
"Stop!" Mu Yu stopped the carriage and hurriedly walked over, Shen Mei only wore a light dress in winter, and his cheeks were red. "Mother, why are you here?"
Shen Mei hurriedly held her hands, "You said that you are a child, why don't you stop your father's words, today I am here to pick you up, you go back with me." ”
"Mother!" Mu Yu took off his cloak and tied it to Shen Mei's body, "Mother, it's cold, why didn't you wear more." ”
"Where do I care if it's cold or not? You come back with me today. Shen Mei took her hand, and there was a posture of not letting her leave.
"Mother, I already told my father yesterday, now that Xie Chongning has no official position, I can't choose to leave for my own sake, I can't do it."
"You can't do it? So you're so cruel to me? Do you know how worried I am about you? Shen Mei's eyes were red.
Mu Yan suddenly felt a headache, glanced at the eldest brother standing aside, and asked for help, "Big brother, I am your sister, you know me best, don't you?" I'm going to take care of myself, and maybe I'll be back in a few days? ”
Mu Yu turned his head sideways, looked at Xie Chongning, who was standing by the carriage waiting for Mu Yu, raised his chin and asked, "Do you really believe him that much?" ”
"I believe in him, and I believe in myself." Mu Yu nodded.
Mu Yi lowered her eyes, supported Shen Mei, and said softly, "Mother, you just believe in the rumor, don't you know the character of the rumor?" What she recognized was something that even nine cows couldn't pull back. ”
Shen Mei reddened his eyes and looked at his daughter reluctantly, "It's all my fault, I've spoiled her." ”
"Mother, you believe me, leaving the capital is just a temporary plan! Besides, we can write letters, and you must not worry about me. She nodded at Shen Mei, "Big brother, after I leave, you must take care of my mother for me, I should go." ”
If she didn't leave, she might really regret it when she looked at Shen Mei's red eyes. She withdrew her hand from Shen Mei's hand, turned around and stepped onto the carriage, casually lowered the curtain of the carriage, closed her eyes, and leaned against the back of the carriage.
Xie Chongning looked at her and was silent without saying a word.
"Where are we going?" After leaving the capital, Mu Yu relieved his emotions and asked out loud.
"To the South."
Mu Yu nodded, "The south is good, the weather in the south is good, and now the epidemic is under control." ”
Xie Chongning nodded, "It's good if you like it." ”
Mu Yu smiled and suddenly sat up straight. "It's over, I suddenly feel like we're losing!"
"Why?" Xie Chongning looked at her startled appearance and asked with a smile.
"All the money for the medicinal materials of the southern epidemic is all paid by our house, but when you resigned, you didn't ask the emperor to ask for it back!" Mu Yu patted his thigh in annoyance, "The rest of the money in the mansion has also been distributed to the subordinates, do you know that you are now a poor and white poor bastard?" ”
Xie Chongning smiled calmly, "It's okay." "The money in the house is just a drop in the bucket for him.
"Don't worry, even if you don't have anything now, I can still feed you." Mu Yu patted his chest with a confident look of assurance.
After finishing speaking, seeing that Xie Chongning was still indifferent, he tilted his head again and whispered in Xie Chongning's ear:
"But you can rest assured, I still have a little private money, we can find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live together, and we can also do a little business, so it's good to live the life of ordinary people together."
Mu Yu then added, "You don't have to feel embarrassed, we are husband and wife, we should be one, you are in trouble now, I will not dislike you, don't worry." ”
"Well, it's good, then I'll rely on my wife to support me."
Xie Chongning thought about Weidong, and said things that made everyone ashamed without changing his face.
