"Wife, I am the baby’s father” 《娘子,我才是娃的爹》Chapter 23 Mu Nian Qing
Noon the next day, Xin Ci gradually woke up.
The man in white holding a bowl of medicine sat on the edge of the bed. Xin Ci looked at the man in white softly calling out.
“Cousin?”
The man in white faintly smiled.
“So you still remember me.”
The man in white was Xin Ci’s cousin Mu Nian Qing.
Xin Ci struggled to get up, Mu Nian Qing gently helped her up.
“What is cousin saying, of course Xin ci remembers.”
Mu Nian Qing laughed deeply, handing the bowl of medicine to Xin Ci.
“Your body is weak, inner breathing is unstable, and you lost a lot of blood. First drink the medicine.”
Xin Ci took the medicine, gulping it down in one go. Without any expression.
“Cousin, why did you appear in the Hidden Castle last night?”
Hearing her, Mu Nian Qing’s eyebrows gathered tightly.
“I always had someone watching over the movements of Shen Mansion, I also heard about Auntie and Uncle’s death, but you’ve suffered. Nangong Wu Qing actually dared to treat you like this, I will definitely raze the Hidden Castle to the ground.”
Seeing Mu Nain Qing’s angry expression, Xin Ci quickly got up to explain.
“Cousin, it’s not what you think. Father and mother committed suicide, there’s no one to blame.”
“Xin Ci, have you been bewitched by that guy Nangong Wu Qing? How could you speak like that?”
Xin Ci powerless rested her head.
“Cousin, it doesn’t matter even if you say I’m un-filial or bewitched, I only beg you to not speak again of revenge, also don’t go and find Wu Qing. Father and mother taught me since I was young everyone has their own destiny, you have to pay back the debt you owe. Father and mother left very peacefully, I know they left very fulfilled, they were able to clear their debt in this lifetime. I went to the Hidden Castle also out of my own accord. I will repay the debt father and mother owed Wu Qing. But Wu Qing really treats me well, really. He doesn’t only take care of me, he took a dagger for me. He is a good person.”
Mu Nian Qing looked at Xin Ci’s happy and painful expression, his heart was in abnormal pain.
“Did you marry him? Are you the Second Lady of the Hidden Castle?”
Xin Ci wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, nodding slightly.
“Fine, if Nangong Wu Qing really does treat you so well as you say, explain to me what happened with your head of white hair. Also, Qing Long, Chi Hu why do they want to kill you. Unless you really did kill Ouyang Jun like they said?”
Mu Nian Qing could not control the anger in his tone, he also bought up something in Xin Ci did not understand.
Xin Ci lifted her head to look a Mu Nian Qing.
“Cousin, Ouyang Jun really…was killed?”
Mu Nian Qing looked at Xin Ci, gently nodding his head.
“Three days ago.”
Xin Ci was so shocked she was speechless, that night she did see Ouyang Jun, but after he saw him arrive Fei Yan was distracted, she used the opportunity at that time to use a raging flame palm at Fei Yan knocking her into his embrace, how could he die? At that time only Fei Yan was left, but Ouyang Jun is Fei Yan’s own brother. Could she have done it? Saying it out even she couldn’t believe it herself, let alone those in the Hidden Castle.
“Cousin, it’s not what you thin. Father and mother committed suicide, there’s no one to blame.”
