The Lady’s Sickly Husband-Chapter 156: Inside Spy

Chapter 156: Inside Spy

Su Qi didn’t talk, stamping his feet, and moved to the center of the training field in a blink. The sword technique he was going to teach featured in agility, which, in combination of Su Qi’s wind-like steps, looked indescribable free and unfettered. It looked very suitable for a girl to practice. Mo Qianxue liked it at once. There were fives moves of the technique, deflecting, chopping, stabbing, cutting, and picking.

It appeared agile and free, but when to practice, it was difficult. Mo Qianxue didn’t know lightness kungfu, so inevitably, she was a little clumsy and couldn’t meet the standard.

Su Qi, with great patient, then began to teach her from lightness kungfu. One of them taught unreservedly, and the other learned whole-heartedly. Originally, there was a small cloud of authentic qi in Mo Qianxue’s body. After a day of learning, although no sword technique was obtained, she made quite progress in lightness kungfu. It wasn’t proficient enough to enable her to fly, but he could easily jump over the fence of the same height with her.

The authentic qi in his body had been small, but strangely, after two days of practice according to the script, the cloud kept expanding. Even nanny Mo was amazed at it, because her two-day-practice was equal to others’ practice of two years. Mo Qianxue jumped over the fence, delighted, and exclaimed to herself, how risky! But for the authentic qi, she could never make it. She was afraid her natural quality would have driven Su Qi away immediately. Su Qi burst into laughing when he saw Mo Qianxue’s smile at leaping over the fence.

Hearing his laughing, Mo Qianxue was of course annoyed and prepared to leap back and satirize him.

Unexpectedly, this time, she didn’t leap too high, and her skirt was hooked by the branches of the fence. The skill she just learned wasn’t completely mastered.

She didn’t want to imagine the outcome, closing her eyes and waiting for a stupid fall…

Why was the ground soft and warm? She opened her eyes, but surprisingly saw Su Qi’s beautiful slant eyes. For a second, she had no idea of all this.

Su Qi, a moment ago, was standing in the middle of the training field, far away from her. It was impossible that she fell to that far and right onto him. She glanced from left to right…

Mo Qianxue opened her eyes suddenly, still in confusion, and didn’t get up. Yet, Su Qi felt a little different. Seeing her not getting up, he made the hands planning to hug her into fists, still carrying the playful smile, “What? The flesh cushion is too comfortable for you to get up?”

“Eh!” Mo Qianxue hurriedly stood up and gave him a glare, “If you play this again, the seasonings will be gone.”

That being said, she was still grateful towards Su Qi for catching her. Otherwise, she would drop to the ground head-on.

Su Qi, not getting up, lied on the ground and put a thin bamboo branch onto his upper lip, smiling more brightly than sunshine, “I didn’t charge you for the flesh cushion, and you’re planning to hold the seasonings? Are you kicking down the ladder?”

Mo Qianxue didn’t understand why there was such a man in this world, who was so unscrupulous but free in a pleasant way.

If in another case, she would stop and appreciate the good-looking man, but having just fallen on his body, even if he didn’t care, she was a little embarrassed, stamping her feet, uneasy and annoyed, “Whatever you think.”

He still wore the warm outgoing smile, “What do you what me to think?”

For a moment, Mo Qianxue didn’t know what to say and remembered that her falling gait must have been awful, so she replied annoyed, “If you don’t get up, I’m leaving.”

Su Qi, a little disappointed, still smiled.

He feared that she might leave in panic and also worried that she didn’t understand his affection. The question was a sound-out, but the result was far away from his expectation.

When he saw she was about to fall, his heart had lifted up to the throat, so he came to her at the highest speed to catch her body. Yet, it was late, and he could only act as a cushion, which was awkward for him already.

However, shouldn’t a girl flush and become shy when she fall onto a man? Obviously, she didn’t. This woman didn’t seem to regard him as an opposite sex.

Was he that inconspicuous as a man?

He lied flat on the ground, looking up at the bamboo forest, “Then you leave first. Someone is too slow, and I’m indeed tired. Let me teach the slow bird tomorrow!”

He wasn’t tired. He went a little out of control over his own feelings, especially in that moment, when her fragrant breath came out against his neck. He was drunk already.

He really didn’t want to hide it anymore.

Soon after Mo Qianxue went away, Su Qi supported his head with one hand and half leaned at the fence, languid and carefree, drew out the thin bamboo branch, squinted his slim eyes and smiled at one corner of the bamboo forest, “Having watched the play for long, huh? Come out.”

The bamboo trees shock, and two men leaped out of it, pointing their swords at Su Qi from both sides.

The sudden urgent wind of swords came like pouring splashing rains and pointed at his throat with unsparing intention of killing…

Su Qi smiled coldly, turned around, and somehow broke the two blades with pinching fingers. Meanwhile, his body sprang from the ground and changed from half leaning into lying on the fence.

The fence posts, thick and thin, ran up and down, difficult for an ordinary person to stand steady. Yet, Su Qi lied on them securely and comfortably.

It wasn’t that the hidden guards were too useless, but that Su Qi was too powerful. But for it, could he survive after making so many troubles?

Taking a glance at the broken swords in their hands, the hidden guards looked at each other hesitantly, “Lord Su, of course we aren’t your opponents, yet please be reasonable. Lady is our lord’s wife. Strange men and women should stay away from each other. Please keep a distance and stop bothering her.”

Su Qi had figured out their purpose when he lay on the ground as to why Ning Shaoqing didn’t directly take Mo Qianxue back to the Ning family. As a noble lord, although he didn’t care about the family affairs, it didn’t mean he had no knowledge of politics and its twists and turns.

Moreover, yesterday, eldest brother had sent him a message to find a proper opportunity and make a proposal with the Emperor.

Mo Qianxue’s special identity and absence of parents left the Emperor the only one to make the proposal with.

Since Ning Shaoqing couldn’t give her happiness, then let him do it. He didn’t care about her past with Ning Shaoqing. As long as she could accept him, no matter what he needed to pay, he was willing to do it.

“Go back and tell Ning Shaoqing, if he really cares about Qianxue’s safety, then let go of her.” If she really accepted him, he would fight for her with his life.

But…if in the end, she still chose Ning Shaoqing, he wouldn’t complain or blame her. The world always jokes with people. It was his bad luck that he wasn’t the first one to have met her. It was his bad luck that he didn’t understand his own heart at the very beginning.

No matter what her decision might be, he only wished her happiness;

No matter what her decision might be, he would do his best to protect her…just to calm down his restless heart.

He tried and fought for it. Even if he didn’t get it, at least he wouldn’t regret.

But, on what would he protect her? The honorary military rank?

In this troubled world, to protect her, he must have real power. He couldn’t turn to his eldest brother or father every time something happened to her… If so, he didn’t believe he had the right to even fight for her…

The two hidden guards hesitated and pondered for a moment, and left at last.

Lying on the fence, Su Qi suddenly looked up, and sharp gleams shot out of his eyes. He lightly tapped the fence with his fingers, and his body instantly sprang into the air and flew out of the Founder mansion as a gust of wind.

The two guard patrolling at the corner of the mansion only felt a purple lightning flashed by, but looking around, there was nothing unusual. They exchanged a look and continue to patrol, scratching their heads and murmuring, why recently they had kept seeing things.

As Mo Qianxue got out of the training field, nanny Mo, with Chuyi, Shiwu and two other nannies walked to her.

Chuyi handed her a handkerchief, Shiwu took over her sword, nanny Mo held her, while the other two nannies also stood ready to serve her.

When returning to her room, by one glance, Mo Qianxue knew that her room had been rummaged again.
