Good Ending: She Swears She Will Not Let Him Die!

Chapter 350: Chapter 349: The Thought

Du Yunluo softly spoke to Mu Lianxiao.

She hadn’t slept well earlier, and her inner clothing was already loose. Now, as she half-supported herself, her chest was in full view.

Mu Lianxiao’s gaze was deep.

The pale crescent moonlight cast mottled shadows on the ground.

Within the draped bed, the faint moonlight also illuminated Du Yunluo’s fair skin, making it as warm as jade.

Mu Lianxiao watched her intently.

Initially, Du Yunluo didn’t realize this. When she did, she pinched her collar with her fingertips and turned away from Mu Lianxiao’s gaze.

Mu Lianxiao chuckled softly, wrapping an arm around her waist and drawing closer. His long legs entangled with hers, ”Yunluo, you were just sleeping like this.”

Du Yunluo snorted, ”Nonsense!”

She knew Mu Lianxiao was talking nonsense.

She was well aware of her own sleeping habits.

Du Yunru said she was restless, hogged the quilt — and that was entirely true.

When she was asleep in Mu Lianxiao’s embrace, she would only cling to him more.

It wouldn’t be this simple...

Yet, knowing this, Du Yunluo couldn’t bring herself to say it.

”You’re clearly drunk,” Mu Lianxiao laughed more, turning her to face him and lowered his head to find her lips.

Du Yunluo simply said nothing, carefully responding to his kiss.

Her breath was taken away, her consciousness gradually blurred, and the dissipated drunkenness surged back. Du Yunluo’s eyes glistened, captivating.

Mu Lianxiao lifted her up, coaxing her tenderly, satisfying his desire.

The next morning, there was another bowl of chicken soup.

Du Yunluo squinted and didn’t move.

Now she was in charge of the household affairs; the kitchen staff were all obedient, so she hadn’t replaced anyone.

She initially planned to delay pregnancy to raise suspicion with Madam Wu.

But recently, Du Yunluo was unsure if there was something extra added to this chicken soup.

The kitchen steward from the Xi Family was indeed Lian Family’s confidant, but a person who could read the situation wisely. Others were eager to advance, so Xi Family had to be extra cautious in their dealings.

Most importantly, Lian Family needed to weigh their actions. If this leaked out, Madam Wu, she couldn’t explain herself at all.

With the scheming of Mu Yuanmou and Lian Family, they might not risk such a venture.

After all, a woman’s ten months of pregnancy and treading past the Ghost Gate, any accident was not surprising.

More than ”not getting pregnant,” Du Yunluo now worried about ”not being able to give birth.”

Leisurely sipping the chicken soup, Du Yunluo glanced at Mu Lianxiao, who was serving her food, and a thought flashed through her mind.

Mu Lianxiao went to the palace.

Du Yunluo relayed his decision to Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou walked to the longbow, gently brushing it with her thumb, sighing, ”After all, they are father and son.”

She stood quietly by the longbow for a long time before turning away and wiping her eyes with a handkerchief.

Du Yunluo saw clearly that the corners of Mrs. Zhou’s eyes were red.

Just remembering Mu Yuance, Mrs. Zhou found it difficult to remain calm.

Du Yunluo clenched her hands in her sleeves, watching Mrs. Zhou, as if seeing herself during those six months.

Those words Liu Menghai’s family sent with Liu Yulan were too shocking, leading her into dreams night after night, dreams filled with blooming Yunluo Flowers, all with Mu Lianxiao’s figure.

She recalled many past events, like knives peeling away fifty years of dust in her heart.

Just thinking of Mu Lianxiao back then made Du Yunluo feel sorrowful.

Just like Mrs. Zhou now.

This was a heartache, with no cure, and others could not persuade away.

Du Yunluo would not try to comfort Mrs. Zhou either.

What’s wrong with cherishing someone in your heart, someone unforgettable?

Having someone on your mind, what’s wrong with that?

Mu Lianxiao going to Lindong has been approved by the Holy Emperor, and after the new year, it would be formally decreed.

In Shaohui Garden, Du Yunluo sweetly proposed, ”Can I go to Lindong with you?”

Mu Lianxiao put down his book, looking at Du Yunluo in surprise.

”Didn’t grandmother follow grandfather to the Northern Border before...” Du Yunluo twisted the handkerchief in her hands, saying, ”Princely Heir, if you feel it’s unsafe for me at Shanyu Pass, then I’ll stay in Xuancheng. If anything happens, my uncle and aunt are there, so you don’t have to worry about me. Shanyu Pass is much closer to Xuancheng than to the Capital, and when you have time, you can visit...”

Mu Lianxiao held Du Yunluo’s hand, stopping her from ruining the handkerchief further, pinching her fingertips gently, ”Why did you suddenly have such an idea?”

Du Yunluo’s long lashes fluttered.

This wasn’t a thought that came out of the blue.

No matter how capable the second house was, they couldn’t manage Lindong quickly. Shanyu Pass had no battles, and it was difficult for them to secretly take Mu Lianxiao’s life and blame the Dazi.

Du Yunluo wanted to safely give birth to a child. In Lindong, it was far safer than in the Capital, even if she didn’t get pregnant in the next two months. In Xuancheng, she would have more opportunities to be with Mu Lianxiao than in the Capital.

The Imperial Physician said she was healthy; there was no reason that with her and her husband together she still couldn’t get pregnant.

Assured of Mu Lianxiao’s safety, and if she could have a son, it would already give the second house a headache.

As for the household management after leaving the Capital, Madam Wu was astute. She would let Mrs. Zhou persist and would not hand it back to Lian Family.

Firstly, due to the incident with Mu Lianyu;

Secondly, Lian Family previously managed the household temporarily for several years, and it’s appropriate for Madam Wu to take it back. But letting Lian Family manage repeatedly would hurt Madam Wu’s pride and be too harsh on the second house.

Mrs. Zhou had many capable people around her, and household affairs were smooth, so Mrs. Zhou wouldn’t need to expend too much effort to manage them.

Looking up at Mu Lianxiao, Du Yunluo softly said, ”I want to be with you.

The Northern Border has many wars, and I’m unfamiliar with the place, afraid of causing you trouble. But Lindong is different; I can manage in Xuancheng.”

Mu Lianxiao remained silent, Du Yunluo’s voice was soft and tender, but her attitude was firm, ”I also want to have a child, so you can see me growing plumper, my belly bigger...”

These words were more touching than any love words, especially for Mu Lianxiao, who loved and pampered Du Yunluo. He pulled her into his embrace, gently kissing her forehead, ”Yunluo, let me think about it.”

From Shanyu Pass to Xuancheng, it only takes two days by fast horse. During shifts, he can return to Xuancheng.

Du Huarang’s family is in Xuancheng; with their protection, Du Yunluo’s safety was guaranteed.

However, Xuancheng was far less prosperous than the Capital, and the farthest Du Yunluo had been was Tong City, and Mu Lianxiao couldn’t bear to let her endure hardships.

Du Yunluo leaned against Mu Lianxiao’s chest, her voice hoarse, ”Princely Heir, are you afraid grandmother and mother won’t agree?”

”I’m afraid you’ll suffer,” Mu Lianxiao sighed.

Du Yunluo smiled, lifting her head to peck Mu Lianxiao’s jaw, ”I’m also afraid of suffering. I don’t want to endure the hardships that Second Sister-in-law mentioned.”

She brought up Jiang Yunuan again. Such a good reason, not using it would be foolish.

Mu Lianxiao’s gaze was deep and profound.

Like Jiang Yunuan, alone in the Capital, worried and scared, enduring ten months of pregnancy alone, experiencing labor alone...

That kind of hardship, Mu Lianxiao thought, he couldn’t bear it either.
