The Lady's Sickly Husband

C137. Lady is Back

It was early summer. Peach blossoms were in full bloom, but the person who accompanied her to appreciate the scenery was missing.

In the midnight, the moon was full.

To moon tonight seemed to be more beautiful than ever, in a mysterious, sorrowful and heartbreaking way.

By moonlight, she stumbled all the way into the depth of the mountain along the river. Although they were injured and exhausted, they didn't dare to waste a second of time or stay separated, only following Mo Qianxue while searching around.

The deeper they reached, the more peach blossoms there were. They danced in the air, falling like a shower of fine rain dropping onto people's faces and shoulders, filling her heart with hatred.

"Shaoqing, Shaoqing. Where are you?"

Mo Qianxue kept calling, but no matter how hard she called, his figure was nowhere to be found. Neither did they find the shadow guard.

After a night of vain searching, Mo Qianxue sat on a rock, replaying in her mind every bit of time spending together with Ning Shaoqing.

Ning Shaoqing was a person who would make preparation for every possible result. Except for having been cheated by the bitchy mother and son, he had never, as she observed, been taken advantaged of in other aspects.

Thinking of what Ning Shaoqing had said in the morning, "Stupid girl. If I'm gone, you must live on. You must live a better life, for me."

A glimmer of hope rose in her heart. Had he made a plain beforehand?

But why didn't he tell her and let her worry?

At the crack of dawn, morning sunrays broke through.

Nanny Mo said cautiously, "Lady, in my humble view, let's leave for the capital first. Lord is a good man blessed by heaven. Probably he arrives at the capital earlier than us."

Mo Qianxue said nothing.

Awu persuaded, "Right, lady. We've decided earlier that we'll go separate ways after this river." He and Asan didn't believe at all that their lord could be washed away by the river.

"It's lady Mo." Asan scolded Awu. They were officially given to Mo Qianxue by Ning Shaoqing. When Mo Qianxue got back to the Founder mansion, certainly they should call her lady Mo.

Seeing that these two men calmly persuaded her, Mo Qianxue was surer about her guess.

If anything really happened to Ning Shaoqing, these two loyal men must be unbearably anxious.

Was there...a reason that it couldn't be told to her?

She calmed down, wiped out her tears. No matter what it was, she forgave him. She only hoped that he was well. She would rather him lying to her for a reason than him encountering misfortune.

The series of attacks and incidents didn't crack her down but instead intrigued the unyieldingness rooted in her bones and the passion to set her horizon on the whole world. At the beginning, she, a village girl knowing nobody and having no money at all, had relied exactly on this kind of passion to start from scratch and built up her own company in a few years, able to afford a house and a car of her own.

After this day, no matter what the future would be like, she wouldn't regard the life when she had just come as a real life or to view herself as the ultimate goal of life.

What she wanted to become was a superior.

In this cannibalistic world, only a superior could obtain peace and happiness.
