Chapter 109: It’s My Fault!

After he gave Azhan the two orders, Su Qi took Mo Qianxue to fly directly into his study.

Azhao glanced at his lord. The flying figure was as stylish as usual.

However, among the white clothes, there were dots of fresh red. He unconsciously shook his head.

Everybody knew that the seventh young lord Su was not only a food freak but also a neat freak.

Now, as long as the food was made by Mrs. Ning, lord could devour all of it in one breath.

Although Azhao didn’t check intently, he could tell that Mrs. Ning was in a discomfiture state judging by her untidy hair and dirty clothes. However, his neat freak lord was holding her in his arms like a priceless treasure.

Although he had been driving outside of the carriage compartment, as a martial artist with sharp eyes and ears, he had heard the abnormal breath of the girl in the carriage. Even he was somewhat turned on by it, let alone his lord sitting next to her.

However, his lord would rather to hurt himself than to touch a strand of hair of her.

Shaking his head, Azhao still went to execute the orders. He told Alu who just got out from the inner room to bring a bucket of cold shower water to the study. Then, Azhao turned around and flew out of Baiyunju, ignoring Alu’s confusion of why on earth to prepare cold water in winter.

Out on the street, there were full of people and carriages, so Alu made his way on the walls and roofs to find Awu and told him Su Qi’s words before turning to leave.

Awu didn’t fully understand it, but he sensed the urgency of the matter, so he abandoned the horse carriage and quickly dashed to Tingfengquan.

At this moment, Mo Qianxue’s mind totally broke down. When Su Qi held her into the study, her hands, losing the control from Su Qi, instantly pulled off Su Qi’s belt and his outfit.

Then, proficiently, the burning hands were put onto Su Qi’s cool chest.

In fact, it was only relatively cooler compared with Mo Qianxue’s temperature. At this moment, Su Qi was no better than her and also tortured by burning fever and boiling blood. There was a knock at the door, and Su Qi knew it was Alu sending the water. Yet, such a scene shouldn’t be seen by him. Therefore, as he said come in, he took Mo Qianxue to flash into the inner room.

Mo Qianxue still found her hands unbearably hot, so she grabbed her own belt and instantly took off her jacket. She was about to continue when Su Qi hurriedly seized her hands and fixed them on her back. Then, Mo Qianxue turned anxious and furious, looking up and giving a hard bite on Su Qi’s neck. Su Qi trembled from the pain and, as his feet became weak, lost his balance to step back and trip over the couch.

As Su Qi lay on the couch, Mo Qianxue also fell on him. Once her hands were free, she rode on Su Qi who was struggling to get up.

But for Alu’s scolding of servants to place the bucket in the right place sending over from outside, Su Qi almost lost his sanity.

Alu ordered servants to carry the bucket of water into the room but didn’t see his lord, only hearing a shout from inside, “Get out.”

The hoarse voice contained uncontrollable trembling.

Alu had no idea of the reason but felt the eagerness, so in a hurry, he and other servant left the room, shut the doors and guarded outside.

Mo Qianxue rode right on that place. With huge self-restraint, Su Qi stood up quickly, but Mo Qianxue hung on him with all limbs like a monkey.

Mo Qianxue’s lips now turned purple and her breathed more evenly and rapidly. The two legs locked on Su Qi’s waist so tight that even he couldn’t get her off.

There was no other choice. By the time her husband arrived, very likely she had been damaged by the fire.

He held her to the bucket and, unable to remove her arms, gently called her, but there was no reply at all. All of her strength was used in sticking to his body, as if she feared so much that he would push her away.

Su Qi sighed. Alright. In cold winter and freezing water, she would feel overwhelmingly painful to get into the water. Just accompany her into it.

Therefore, holding Mo Qianxue, he jumped into the bucket full of cold water.

“Ah…” As the icy water surrounded her body, within which scorching waves were still rolling, Mo Qianxue eye’s restored some clarity.

The pupils began to have focus, but what came in sight were Su Qi’s magnified reddish jade cheeks.

“You…you…”

She wanted to ask why you were here and why it was you. But recalling several fragments of memories, she momentarily shut up on the word you.

Regaining a clear mind, she found herself sticking to him like an octopus and couldn’t make any work from her shocking stiff mouth.

With embarrassment, she took back her arms and legs, lowered her head…until it submerged under water.

Let her die! What an embarrassment!

What had she done? She almost raped an underage body. So embarrassed!

Seeing that she was better and had released him, Su Qi wanted to jumped out of the bucket. But then he saw Mo Qianxue lowered her head under the water surface. Fearing she might choke on water, Su Qi pinched her jaw to life up her head.

“You will drown…” His voice was loving.

“…” Mo Qianxue looked up at Su Qi. Heaven! Ignore her! Let her die!

Bang…

With a huge noise, the doors were pushed open from outside, and a figure flew in.

Su Qi and Mo Qianxue subconsciously turned in that direction.

Therefore, the picture coming into the sight of Ning Shaoqing was: his wife bathing with a man who pinched her jaw while she eyed him with affection. Then…

Then, Ning Shaoqing’s palm wind swept, and it happened to knock down Awu, who showed up to stop him. Then the doors were shut again.

What remained in the air was Ning Shaoqing full belly of fury, his face carrying dark clouds and lightning, and a pair of horrible murderous eyes…

Heaven knew that upon receiving the news that let him pick up his wife at Baiyunju, he began to worry and went through all kinds of speculations in his mind. However, no matter how hard he guessed, he had never expected to witness such an erotic picture.

No, such a heart-tearing and mind-crashing picture.

Without thinking too much, Ning Shaoqing raised his palm and aimed right at Su Qi.

He had planned to do him a favor after finding the weird doctor, but now this idea was blown away in the wind.

Even if he had once had that idea, as long as he was alive, as long as he still breathed, he would never allow…

With hatred in Ning Shaoqing’s eyes, his palm became sharp too and aimed at Su Qi’s forehead with the momentum of thunder and lightning.

It was already late for Su Qi to fight back, yet it wouldn’t be hard for him to escape it.

Although the target of the palm was him, it would attack on the bucket if he escaped at once.

Mo Qianxue was still in the bucket. Having been drugged and now infiltrated by the coldness of icy water, she could die of the influence of the palm.

Su Qi…would never let her suffer any hurt.

Thinking of this, Su Qi leaped out of the bucket, not continue to rise, and stood right before the bucket to receive Ning Shaoqing’s palm head-on.

Seeing his clothes, Ning Shaoqing stunned for a while. It seemed that the situation had been mistaken by him.

However, when he understood the reason why Su Qi willingly accept the palm, he became more furious.

His woman should be protected only by him. If this guy escape, he would naturally reduce the power and turn away the palm wind into another direction.

The palm wind merely originally contained seventy percent of his power, but as Ning Shaoqing got angry, it became one hundred percent, forcing Su Qi as well as the bucket to keep moving back.

Usually, even if Su Qi couldn’t defeat his rival, he wouldn’t lose so badly. Nevertheless, today, he had already used up most of his strength by Mo Qianxue and then, when Ning Shaoqing gaining the upper hand, he didn’t retreat. Ning Shaoqing was a little surprised that he wasn’t blown away. All this happened in a flash. When Mo Qianxue understood what was going on, the bucket had already been pushed to the wall.

The tense battle made Mo Qianxue realized that her husband was drinking vinegar again.

Recalling what she had done, she thought that this bottle of vinegar indeed should be drunk… But, it was her fault. She was willing to accept any kind of punishment.

However, now the one being punished was her savor Su Qi. Mo Qianxue almost cried. She felt too embarrassed!

In urgency, Mo Qianxue stuck out her powerless arm to Ning Shaoqing, “Shaoqing…”

The abnormal flushing and tears on her face made Ning Shaoqing misunderstand again.

“Su Qi, I thought you were an upright gentleman but now I know you’re such an…” Towards Su Qi, Ning Shaoqing waved another palm wind. To her surprise, Ning Shaoqing didn’t come to her but went on to attack Su Qi, “Ning Shaoqing, are you going to ignore me?”

The inner fever and outer coldness, fueled by anxiety and worry, made Mo Qianxue instantly spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

At once, Ning Shaoqing was flustered two and quickly took back his palm, “Qianxue…what’s the matter with you?”

As he asked, he rushed to her and pushed away Su Qi near the bucket. Meanwhile, he saw the teeth print on Su Qi’s neck, and the vessels on his forehead popped out again. He was about to hit him but in view of Mo Qianxue’s condition, he only threw him a sentence, “Let’s do it later.”

Su Qi was so distressed seeing Mo Qianxue spitting blood but pushed away by Ning Shaoqing.

Then, when he witnessed the way Mo Qianxue looked at Ning Shaoqing with her tearful eyes, Su Qi retreated. From the beginning of being drugged, she only displayed fragility before her husband. He was only a third wheel. His decision was right.

Su Qi pressed his hand against his chest near the pocket. There seemed to be a bit of comfort there.

Leaving a sentence, Su Qi stumbled away, his back looking sad, “You stay here to take care of her…” Then, he left without looking back.

The moment he got out of the room and shut the doors, Su Qi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood too. Just now the palm wind he had received head-on made his qi and blood still rolling ferociously within his body.

An excellent martial artist he was as the top noble young lord. Even with cold poison in his body, he could carry out such an incredibly powerful palm.

At the sight of Su Qi shutting the doors behind him and spitting blood, Alu came over in a hurry to support him but didn’t dare to ask any questions.

He had heard the sound from inside the study but didn’t dare to go inside after being attacked by Ning Shaoqing. It wasn’t because Alu was timid but because he had figured what was going on in there.

If he really ran into the room and saw something that he shouldn’t see, then what he suffered wouldn’t be a mere palm but his life.

“Lord, you’re soaked. Let’s go and get changed in case you may catch a cold.”

Alu’s words reminded Su Qi that Mo Qianxue’s clothes were all soaked, so he leaned against the huge tree in the yard and ordered gently, “Go to a ready-to-wear shop to buy a woman’s gown, of best quality, not exaggerate in style or too bright in color. Blue is best…”

Every time he met her, she wore either dark or light or lake blue. Blue must be her favorite.

Since when did lord cared so much about a woman’s dress? Even to his mother, he had never paid so much attention. Alu was a little annoyed, “Lord…you’re still soaked…” “Don’t talk too much. Go.” He had promised to accompany her to suffer. She was in the icy water and tortured by the drug, so if he couldn’t stay by her side in the room, he’d like to suffer together with her outside.

After Su Qi withdrew from the room, Ning Shaoqing instantly grabbed Mo Qianxue’s hand reaching for him.

Upon touching it, Ning Shaoqing knew something was wrong. Then he dipped his fingers into the water and hit the ceiling.

“Who did it?” The couple knew each other’s minds. Naturally, without explaining, Mo Qianxue knew what he meant. “I don’t know…I guess it’s the fifth lady Jian…” Mo Qianxue replied after a while of breath adjusting. After all, the stupid drug had rampaged in her body and hurt her qi. Now she was soaked in icy water. Even though she wasn’t cold, the alternate attack of fever and coldness made her involuntarily tremble.

As she trembled, her speech also intermittent.

“It’s her?” Ning Shaoqing narrowed his eyes and remembered the day when the fifth lady Jian visited. He didn’t tell Mo Qianxue, not to save face for that uninvited bitch, but because he didn’t want to upset Mo Qianxue.

Great. Anyone who dared to touch his woman would know what tit-for-tat meant!

“I’m so sorry!” In fact, he really wanted to jump into the water to suffer with her, but the cold poison within his body didn’t allow him to do so, so he held her hands and caressed her face as comfort.

He didn’t value his body over hers, but if he jumped into the water now, his cold poison would be triggered, which in turn would only make her sad.

Sensing his sorrow, Mo Qianxue quickly comforted him, “Actually…it’s nothing…it’s good for health to bath in cold water…”

Chairman Mao swam in winter at the age of sixty in the Yangtze River. It didn’t matter to take a cold-water shower.

She had also read some articles saying that cold-water baths were good for health in winter.

She thought about these nonsense, but her body was honest and sneezed at once.

The sneeze was as loud as a knife poking at Ning Shaoqing’s heart. He was so painful to say anything, only wishing that he was the one suffering it.

Su Qi was a little confused about the loud sneeze. He didn’t mean to eavesdrop or hear their conversation, but it was clear that there wasn’t that kind of sound inside.

He already gave them the space. Why did he still let her suffer in the icy water?

Su Qi suddenly remembered that there was still the virgin mark on Mo Qianxue’s arm reaching out from the bucket. Back then, he had taken it as a red nevus.

Was she…?

Ning Shaoqing bowed his head and said nothing. Mo Qianxue persuaded, “Don’t…Don’t blame lord Su. But for him…”

“Stop talking.” Ning Shaoqing took her hand to his lips, his sound choked with sobs, and covered her lips with the other hand. Now, he was satisfied that she was well. He didn’t dare to hear or imagine the incident that had almost happened to her, “It’s my fault!”
