Chapter 738 Run Away  "They eloped?" asked Raelle.

But before Mu Chenyan could answer, a hand covered her mouth. She turned her head to Shui Koshing in dissatisfaction and saw him shaking his head. Seeing how he hinted with his eyes, Mu Chenyan also shifted her focus towards Shui Xian who looked so pale now. It startled her.

She cursed mentally.

She went with the flow of the story and forgot to take notice of the emotions of the listeners. Raelle was okay. After all, she always looked at everything from the third person point of view. She had this special ability to extract herself from the situation and look at it clearly. She could even look at her own situation as if it didn't matter and there was no resentment. How could the story of her mother-in-law's past get to her?

However, Shui Xian was a different story. Qian Yin was his mother. And the thing was, no matter how he went against his mother before her death, he loved her the most as well. He was always attached to his mother rather than his father. How could this sudden revelation of his mother's past not affect him mentally or emotionally?

Raelle also noticed the change in Shui Xian and held his trembling hand in her own. She obviously wasn't someone to comfort you with words but she could offer her support and let him know that he was not alone.

"I think we should stop it here," said Mu Chenyan. "Anyway, you already know the grudge between the two families. There is no need to go into such minor details."

"I want to know," said Shui Xian in a soft voice. But when he looked at Mu Chenyan, he looked firm. "I want you to continue."

Mu Chenyan hesitated. From her understanding of Shui Xian, this son-in-law of their family could be an emotional mess. And once he learned the whole truth, there was no denying that he was gonna churn himself with the guilt of hurting his mother with his own stubbornness, not even knowing anything about why she insisted on keeping him away from the Tang family.

And Mu Chenyan could already see the guilt in Shui Xian's eyes. He had never forgotten how he hurt his mother. 

"I'm not that weak," said Shui Xian trying to convince her. "Trust me, I can take the truth."

Mu Chenyan obviously didn't believe that but she still wanted to continue. She didn't want to leave this story halfway. She had already started, it was only right for her to complete it. In a way, Shui Xian really needed this truth that Qian Yin wanted to keep from him. 

Shui Xian sat down on Raelle's bed and continued to hold her hand as he asked, "So, did they really elope?"

Mu Chenyan, "No. But that was the original plan."

"One of them backed out?" asked Shui Xian. "Perhaps, Tang Mu backed out and my mother held the grudge of betrayal."

"If only it was that simple," said Mu Chenyan. 

"Of course, it wasn't that simple," said Raelle. "If Tang Mu was the kind of person who backed out at the last moment, my Yanyan wouldn't have such a high opinion of him."

Mu Chenyan's lips curled up when she heard that from Raelle. "Son-in-law, you should listen to my Elle. I, Mu Chenyan am not that easily impressed by people. And Mr. Tang Mu happened to be someone who really left an impression on me."

"Don't be hasty to judge people, son," spoke Shui Koshing. "Tang Mu was a very loyal person."

"Of course, his loyalty was also the reason for his demise," added Mu Chenyan. "So the plan was of eloping if they didn't manage to convince their families. They both tried their best but the Tang family and Qian family didn't want to take a step back. Tang Mu being the eldest of the family had a lot of responsibilities but he was willing to give up everything for Qian Yin. And technically, he really did give everything. Even his own life."

Shui Xian didn't like the sound of any of it. He didn't know why it made him feel so uneasy right now. His heart was in a chaotic state right now. 

"When Tang Mu and Qian Yin really planned to run away, things didn't go their way. They didn't realize how far their families could go for their enmity. Qian Yin's elder brother Qian Yan was sent to bring Qian Yin back home. On the other hand, the Tang family was already fully prepared. I won't go into details, just know that during the scuffle, the person who died was Qian Yan. The only male descendant of the Qian family left behind his six months pregnant wife while trying to protect his sister from the Tang family's attack."

Shui Xian felt like the whole world went silent once he heard that and his mind reeled. If he had been standing, he definitely would stagger. Thankfully, he already sat with Raelle but the way his grip on Raelle's hand tightened. It could be said he was clenching her hand so tight that it was painful. But Raelle didn't say a word of dissatisfaction.

Honestly speaking, she couldn't understand Shui Xian's feelings right now. She tried to put herself in his shoes but the way she was wired, she still couldn't understand his inner turmoil and pain. And she definitely couldn't even understand his guilt. She couldn't understand how he felt like he was about to lose his mind. 

As for Shui Xian, he suddenly recalled how intense his mother's reaction was when he said, 'I'll move out with Tang Hebe if you don't like her. And if you continued to force us, I might even run away with her.'

At that time, Qian Yin had slapped him. That was such a shock to Shui Xian. But now that he recalled that scene, he understood what was hidden behind his mother's anger. It was fear. Fear of losing him. She was holding back her pain. But he didn't see anything.
