Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander

Seeing Mu Yunlie’s expression suddenly become serious, Yan Qianyi felt an ominous premonition and stiffly tugged at her pale lips, "Talk... talk about what?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

She hadn’t done anything wrong, had she?

Was he going to blame her for not protecting the baby in her womb?

"Let’s talk in bed."

Mu Yunlie lifted Yan Qianyi from the wheelchair and headed upstairs.

Yan Qianyi let him carry her, her face blank.

Talk in bed?

She couldn’t help but think wrongly...

But now Mu Yunlie’s expression looked very serious; it probably wasn’t what she was thinking, right?

Besides, her body couldn’t take much right now.

While Yan Qianyi’s thoughts were in disarray, Mu Yunlie had already placed her on the bed.

He asked, "I heard from Grandpa about Xu Zhiqiang. Your mother was murdered. Why didn’t you tell me about this before?"

"Is the issue with Xu Zhiqiang what you wanted to talk about?"

"Yes," Mu Yunlie frowned slightly, "Didn’t we agree to share everything with each other?"

"Telling you wouldn’t have helped. You are so busy, and I can handle my own matters."

"No, that’s not the reason you didn’t tell me. You didn’t tell me because you suspected someone from the Mu family," Mu Yunlie said with certainty.

Yan Qianyi didn’t respond.

Mu Yunlie continued, "This is also the reason why you initially chose to break up with me."

Yan Qianyi pursed her dry lips and muttered, "You’ve guessed everything correctly, so why ask me? I had no choice but to make that decision. Are you trying to settle scores with me now?"

Mu Yunlie grabbed a pillow and placed it behind her back, helpless, "I’m not trying to settle scores."

"Then why do you look so serious?"

Mu Yunlie smiled slightly, trying to smooth his furrowed brow, "I only found out about this last night. I feel sorry for you, bearing it all alone, not telling me anything."

He had never understood why she insisted on breaking up with him.

He had guessed that maybe she had some unspeakable secrets,

But he never imagined it would be for this reason.

Even then, he had felt resentful towards her and doubted her feelings for him.

Little did he know the pain and torment she was enduring inside.

Now that he knew everything, he felt very guilty.

Yan Qianyi said, "What good does telling you do? It just brings another person pain."

Mu Yunlie took her hand, "Now listen carefully, there is no one more important to me than you in this world. So you don’t need to have any reservations. If it really was someone from the Mu family who harmed your mother, go ahead and seek your revenge. I will support you, and it will not affect my feelings for you."

He would never blame her.

For her, he only had love.

"Really?" Yan Qianyi blinked, moved as she looked at Mu Yunlie.

Had she been overthinking everything before?

Mu Yunlie’s deep gaze was very firm, "Really!"

"What if... that person is also very important to you?"

Mu Yunlie pondered for a moment, "So the person you suspect the most is my little aunt?"

The most important person to him in the Mu family was his little aunt.

Yan Qianyi bit her lip and nodded slightly.

Mu Yunlie shook his head, "It couldn’t be her."

"Why couldn’t it be her?"

"I know her, she couldn’t have done such a thing."

Yan Qianyi gently furrowed her brow, "But before Mu Chen’s issue was exposed, she always thought that your father died from my mother’s medical accident. Among all the people in the Mu Family, only she knew about that so-called medical accident, and she also opposed us being together."

"But none of these can prove that she ordered Xu Zhiqiang to do it."

"Do you really trust her that much?"

"Because I know her. Trust me, she would never do such a thing."

Yan Qianyi silently looked at Mu Yunlie for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled faintly.

The smile was enigmatic.

"Alright, if you say it’s not her, then it’s not. I’m a bit tired and would like to rest."

After speaking, she withdrew her hand that Mu Yunlie was holding, lay down, and turned her back to him.

"Are you angry?" Mu Yunlie asked.

"No, just tired. Didn’t the doctor tell me to sleep and rest more?" Yan Qianyi closed her eyes, not wanting to talk anymore.

Mu Yunlie and Mu Huaner had a good relationship, and she could understand that.

But now, the most suspicious person was Mu Huaner!

Their thoughts differed, and she didn’t want to force him to agree with her opinion.

So, it was pointless to talk more about this topic.

Mu Yunlie looked at Yan Qianyi’s back and sighed.

She was so energetic just now, and now she suddenly said she was tired—it must be that she was angry.

She never listened to the hospital doctors, and now she used the doctor’s words as an excuse.

"Don’t be angry," Mu Yunlie coaxed patiently. "I will figure this out."

As his words fell, the bedroom door was suddenly knocked.

Mu Yunlie thought it was Aunt Xue bringing up some food and responded, "Come in."

The door opened, but the person who came in was Mu Huaner.

"Ah Lie, I came to see how Qianyi is doing."

Mu Huaner’s sudden voice made both Mu Yunlie and Yan Qianyi freeze.

Speaking of the devil—they were just unhappy talking about Mu Huaner, and now she had arrived.

Mu Yunlie turned his head, his brow slightly furrowed, "Why has little aunt come?"

Mu Huaner, holding lots of bags, walked to the bedside, "I just came from the hospital. I heard you guys came back, so I wanted to check on Qianyi’s recovery and brought some gifts for her."

Yan Qianyi lay motionless on the bed, not opening her eyes.

Mu Yunlie looked at her, stood up, and said to Mu Huaner, "Let her rest, let’s talk outside."

"What about these gifts..."

"Just leave them there."

"Okay."

After putting down the gifts, Mu Huaner followed Mu Yunlie out.

Hearing the door close, Yan Qianyi finally opened her eyes and turned to look at the door.

So pretentious!

Mu Huaner came to check if she had miscarried, didn’t she?

If she had miscarried, Mu Huaner would probably be so happy she wouldn’t sleep tonight.

Now it seemed that she hadn’t been overly worried before.

Mu Yunlie simply didn’t believe that Mu Huaner could commit a murder.

Yan Qianyi caressed her belly, "Baby, you have to stand up for your mom. As long as you’re born safe and healthy, we won’t leave Dad and will infuriate your little aunt!"

Out in the living room, Mu Huaner asked, "How is Qianyi doing now? She’s close with the Masked Divine Doctor; has she had him come over to see her?"

Mu Yunlie sat on the couch, poured two glasses of vodka, and handed one to Mu Huaner.

"The baby is safe for now, but we still need to see how things go. There shouldn’t be any problems."

"That’s good." Mu Huaner took the glass and drank a sip, hesitated for a moment, then said, "I’m sorry, I was there yesterday too. If I had been more attentive, perhaps that incident wouldn’t have happened."
