Chapter 463 Leaving Beijing
Mu Xinyue looked at her grandson and granddaughter from afar. What adorable little kids they were.
Chuchu, like her, was born with twins. When she saw these two children, she thought of what her son and daughter looked like when they were little.
What a wonderful time those were.
Before she got married, she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Men from all over the world would come to the capital to see her beauty.
Before he won her heart, Emperor Qingyuan treated her very well, and she thought they would live in harmony and grow old together.
Everything changed until she married Emperor Qingyuan and gave birth to two children.
Emperor Qingyuan was no longer satisfied with just one woman, so he allowed one woman after another to enter the palace and even had affairs outside the palace.
Only then did she understand: once a man gets a woman, the love will disappear day by day.
She did favor her son because she felt that her daughter would get married after all.
Just like after she became the mistress of the harem, she was worried that Emperor Qingyuan would be wary of their Mu family, so she gradually distanced herself from the General's Mansion.
People are all made of flesh and blood. After all, she is Chuchu's mother. She felt bad when she learned that her daughter had not had a good life in recent years.
She could understand why her daughter wanted to drive her away now.
After all, she had never done anything good for her daughter and had never really cared about her.
She hesitated for a moment, then came to Chu Li and said with courage: "Chu Li, my mother is leaving the capital, can you let me hold the two children?"
Chu Li looked at her indifferently and did not answer.
Mu Xinyue felt upset when she saw that Chu Li was unmoved.
Xiao Yueyue patted Ye Hanting's arm with her little hand, "Daddy, put me down."
Ye Hanting put Xiao Yueyue down, and she walked in front of Mu Xinyue and looked at her with her little face raised.
The person in front of me looks a bit like my mother. This must be my mother’s mother.
Mu Xinyue leaned over and saw that Xiao Yueyue and Chu Li had almost identical faces, and instantly thought of her daughter when she was a child.
More than ten years ago, her daughter came to her with her head held high, holding a piece of white jade in her little hands, looking at her with expectant eyes.
"Mother, this is the jade that my father gave me as a gift. He said he would come to see you tonight."
Mu Xinyue stared at the flawless white stone and smashed it out suddenly, scaring Chuchu.
She yelled sensitively and fragilely, "From now on, you don't have to help me beg him to come and see me!"
The jade broke into pieces, and Chuchu scratched her hand when she picked it up.
Chuchu sensibly hid her bleeding little hand so that she wouldn't see it.
Now that I think about it, Chuchu went to please Emperor Qingyuan just to make her smile more and be happier.
Mu Xinyue withdrew her thoughts, and her heart felt like it was grabbed by something, and it hurt badly.
She has been so bad to Chuchu over the years.
Xiao Yueyue tilted her head and looked at Mu Xinyue, "My beautiful lady, why are you crying? You won't be beautiful if you cry."
Mu Xinyue wiped away the tears from her eyes, squatted down, and touched Xiao Yueyue's soft face with a smile, "Child, I am your grandmother."
"Then my brother and I should call you grandma." Xiao Yueyue stretched out her little arms and hugged Mu Xinyue.
Mu Xinyue's tears have already burst out.
Chu Li looked at Mu Xinyue. They looked so much alike. If there was a parallel world, the mother who never loved her in her previous life and this life must be the same person.
It's ridiculous that she actually feels sad and can cry.
"Grandma, I heard that you are going on a long journey. Please take care of yourself and come back to see us when you have time." Xiao Ming stood aside, looking at Mu Xinyue with bright eyes.
"Yeah." Mu Xinyue touched his little head and nodded heavily. What a sensible and considerate child.
She raised her eyes to look at Chu Li, and Chu Li turned his head to look into the distance.
The children are naturally close because of their blood relationship, so it is impossible for her to forgive Mu Xinyue.
Mu Xinyue wiped away her tears, took out a gem-encrusted longevity lock from her body, and gave it to Xiao Yueyue.
"This is what your mother brought with her when she was a child. I'm giving it to you."
Xiao Yueyue lowered her head to play with the longevity lock, and Xiao Ming had a silver collar around his neck.
"This also belongs to your mother."
When she left the palace, she was worried that she would miss her daughter, so she took these two things with her.
She just found out yesterday that Chu Li was pregnant with a child, and she was leaving today. Chu Li had no shortage of money, and she didn't know what to give the children, so she decided to give them these two things first.
"Grandma, please take care on your journey." Xiao Yueyue helped Mu Xinyue wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Mu Xinyue's voice choked with sobs, "Yes, grandma listens to you."
"Chu Li, what are the children's names?" Mu Xinyue asked.
Chu Li still didn't speak.
Xiao Yueyue leaned over to Mu Xinyue's ear and said, "My name is Chu Yiran, and my brother's name is Chu Yanci. Tell grandma quietly that when mom was dreaming, she dreamed of grandma and she said she would be obedient and not to abandon her. Mom loves grandma very much."
"Daughter, it is your mother who is sorry for you!"
Mu Xinyue's heart ached instantly. She touched Xiao Yueyue's little face, turned her back, and tears kept flowing. She didn't even dare to look at Chu Li before leaving.
Chu Li’s original family has always been a pain for her, and she doesn’t want to be involved in it in any way.
Ye Hanting held her trembling hand and held her in his arms.
"Ali, I'm here. I've always been here."
Chu Li lay on Ye Hanting's chest, her nose feeling sore. She clearly didn't care anymore, so why did she still feel uncomfortable?
Go away, it’s better to go, never see you again.
......
Mu Xinyue came to the general's mansion to bid farewell to General Mu.
General Mu was extremely distressed that his daughter, who had died many years ago, had come back to life, but she could not stay with him forever.
However, Chu Li's heart also aches when she and Chu Muran are here.
It's better to leave.
Mu Xinyue cried as she said goodbye to her father. Sitting in the carriage leaving Beijing, she thought for a moment and asked Chu Muran.
"What's the matter with the letters sent back from the palace in recent years?"
It was the first time that Chu Muran felt that Mu Xinyue spoke to him in such a cold manner.
He gritted his teeth and said, "It's all Zhu San's fault. He replaced my sister's letters. This man has ulterior motives. He deserves death!"
Mu Xinyue frowned. Zhu San was the manager of the family. During the time when Chu Muran was in power, he became Eunuch Zhu and was finally killed by Jun Ling's men.
Right now, there is no evidence.
She suspected that her son had tampered with those letters, but after meeting Chu Muran's frank eyes, she began to blame herself again.
Chu Muran was raised by her personally. He has a gentle temperament and does not fight or compete with others. He should not lie to her.
Chu Muran changed the subject and asked, "Mother, why hasn't my foster father arrived in the capital yet?"
Mu Xinyue's eyes were red as she looked at Chu Muran, "Why are you looking for your adoptive father? I have already written to him and told him not to come."
"Ah?" Chu Muran was surprised. If his adoptive father didn't come, how could he take revenge on Chu Li.
The carriage drove all the way to the suburbs. After Chu Muran got off to relieve himself, he looked at the coachman.
The groom understood instantly.
After Chu Muran got on the carriage, he suddenly covered his stomach and said painfully: "Mother, I feel uncomfortable and my stomach hurts."
Mu Xinyue looked at him worriedly, "Don't worry, I'll find someone for you."
