Chapter 2326 - 2299: Love Brings Endless Harm

Mu Qingchuan and Mr. Mu, upon hearing Mu Qingxue’s words and witnessing her heart-wrenching demeanor, exchanged glances and sighed slightly. They both realized that if they didn’t reveal the truth to Mu Qingxue today, she wouldn’t let it go easily and might resort to extreme measures, which was something nobody wanted to see.

"Qingxue, I’ll tell you."

Mu Qingchuan glanced at Mr. Mu, took a deep breath, and began recounting the events of last night slowly, without any concealment, detailing everything he knew.

Mu Qingxue was a smart woman; any embellishment would be useless and would only make her suspicious.

Upon hearing Mu Qingchuan’s words, Mu Qingxue’s tear-streaked face quickly showed a look of urgency, and she quickly asked, "How is Tianxing? Is he alright? Is he seriously injured?"

Mu Qingxue was completely indifferent to Tang Qingyun’s death; her only concern was whether Lu Tianxing was injured.

Upon hearing Mu Qingxue’s words, Mu Qingchuan’s heart was filled with deep bitterness. He truly wished Lu Tianxing was injured; if Lu Tianxing were hurt, perhaps Old Master of Lu Family would take him back to Jiangnan, calming the storm in Beijing and preventing further turmoil.

However, deep down, Mu Qingchuan also hoped Lu Tianxing wasn’t injured, because as long as Lu Tianxing wasn’t hurt, he would take away his sister from the Mu Family, making her a truly ordinary person, something he was reluctant to see. His sister was incredibly beautiful, a goddess in the hearts of countless men, but now she was competing with other women, which undeniably made Mu Qingchuan uncomfortable.

As for marrying into the Tang Family, Mu Qingchuan never considered it because he knew very well that the Tang Family intended to use Mu Qingxue. Mu Qingxue would not have a good life after marrying into the Tang Family, and coupled with the fake death pill, the Tang Family would definitely not let Mu Qingxue marry into their family, surely finding an excuse to abandon the marriage arrangement. This much Mu Qingchuan understood clearly.

Mu Qingchuan looked at Mu Qingxue and softly said, "Qingxue, Lu Tianxing should not be injured..."

"Not injured?"

Mu Qingxue immediately interrupted Mu Qingchuan, her beautiful eyes staring intently at him, "Then why did you just tell Grandpa that Tianxing was hurt?"

Feeling Mu Qingxue’s sharp gaze, Mu Qingchuan sighed bitterly and said, "Qingxue, I was merely speculating, and if Lu Tianxing were truly hurt, Old Master of Lu Family would have already taken him away from Beijing. Why would he still be left in Beijing?"

After hearing this, Mu Qingxue did not immediately speak; instead, she stared intently at Mu Qingchuan as if she wanted to see whether Mu Qingchuan was deceiving her again.

After a long while, Mu Qingxue finally withdrew her gaze. Just as she was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed, betraying an uncontrollable urgency on her face, "No, no, I can’t stay here. I have to go find Tianxing. Tianxing killed Tang Qingyun, the Tang Family definitely won’t spare him. I must go find Tianxing and tell him to leave Beijing immediately; he absolutely can’t stay here any longer."

With that, Mu Qingxue, without any hesitation, turned directly and intended to run out of the Mu Family.

However, before Mu Qingxue could take a step, she felt her arm being grasped by a hand.

Turning her head, Mu Qingxue saw who was holding her arm and immediately showed a hint of pleading on her face: "Grandpa, please let me go, won’t you? Let me go find Tianxing. This matter started because of me. If not for me, Tianxing wouldn’t have killed Tang Qingyun, nor would he be in danger. I want to be with him, I want to be by his side, Grandpa, please let me leave."

At this moment, Mu Qingxue couldn’t care about anything else. She only wanted to be by Lu Tianxing’s side, fully aware of the consequences of killing Tang Qingyun.

No matter how deep the enmity between Lu Tianxing and the Tang Family was, the Tang Family wouldn’t go all out to annihilate Lu Tianxing. But now Lu Tianxing killed Tang Qingyun, which meant he directly tore face with the Tang Family. The heir to the family head had died, and he was killed by Lu Tianxing. If the Tang Family didn’t go completely mad, it would be a miracle. They would undoubtedly kill Lu Tianxing, using his blood to wash away the Tang Family’s disgrace. Although Lu Tianxing’s prowess was remarkable, there’s a saying, ’An open attack is easy to dodge, a hidden arrow is hard to guard against.’ Can Lu Tianxing withstand the Tang Family?

Mr. Mu looked at Mu Qingxue’s appearance, a hint of pain appeared on his face, and he slowly said, "Qingxue, don’t rush, listen to your brother finish speaking, okay?"

Upon hearing Mr. Mu’s words, Mu Qingxue hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing Mu Qingxue nod, Mu Qingchuan softly said, "Qingxue, Lu Tianxing did kill Tang Qingyun, but after investigation, the person killed by Lu Tianxing turned out to be just Tang Qingyun’s double, not Tang Qingyun himself, so Lu Tianxing isn’t in any immediate danger."

"Moreover, Qingxue, don’t worry. Did you forget what Lu Tianxing’s status is? He’s the Third Young Master of Lu Family, Old Master of Lu Family’s precious grandson. If he truly faces any danger, Old Master of Lu Family would intervene. Even though the Tang Family is powerful right now, the Lu Family isn’t weak either. If the Tang Family really dares to do anything to Lu Tianxing, the Lu Family surely won’t stand by idly. You don’t have to worry."

"Really?"

"Of course it is true, Qingxue, I assure you. This time, everything I’m saying is true, you have to trust me."

Looking at Mu Qingchuan’s determined face, Mu Qingxue nodded, silently saying, "Brother, Grandpa, it doesn’t matter whether you’re lying to me or not this time. What matters is that tomorrow is the fifth, the day when Qingxue is supposed to marry. If Lu Tianxing doesn’t show up, I’m not going to marry into the Tang Family, and even if I do, it’ll be as a corpse, a genuine corpse."

With those words, Mu Qingxue’s gaze fell upon Mr. Mu and Mu Qingchuan, and then, without saying anything further, she turned and walked out of the room.

Watching Mu Qingxue’s back, Mu Qingchuan couldn’t help but extend his hand and opened his mouth as though he wanted to say something, but ultimately he didn’t say a word, because he had no idea what to say. Regardless of whether for selfish reasons or genuine concern for Mu Qingxue, he did deceive her. Now, in Mu Qingxue’s heart, he was nothing but a complete liar. No matter what he said, Mu Qingxue wouldn’t believe him.

Meanwhile, Mr. Mu looked at Mu Qingxue’s desolate back and, too, let out a sigh. Love certainly brings endless trouble.
