The Lady's Sickly Husband

C45. Kiss, Jealousy

The land near the dock had long be preserved through insiders. Mo Qianxue stared at the sky, speechless. Money makes the mare go, indeed. No wonder there were many people here to buy land though it was the first day the dock was open for investment. It turned out that they had fucking preserved in advance.

The other day when she had come to inquire, one of the managers told her that the selling didn't start yet. It turned out the real estate industry had been black since ancient times.

Learning that the pieces of land were bought by a few big merchants for goods stocking, Mo Qianxue instantly decided to buy the most front one of the lands left.

After going through all the documental procedures of land purchasing, Mo Qianxue got out of the managing office, all smiles.

She just walked out of door when roars of shouting sent over in the distance.

"Lady...lady...come here..."

"Come! The lady fell in the water."

"Help..."

Then she heard plop after plop, the sound of someone diving into the water, probably to save the lady.

In such cold winter, people in the water would either be drowned or frozen to death. How unlucky to fall into water! And how courageous the ones jumping into cold water to save people!

Thinking about it, Mo Qianxue's unconsciously walked in the direction of the accident. In a good mood, she was willing to watch the scene.

When she arrived at the site through the crowd, the servants-like people had lifted the girl out of the water.

Many nannies and girl servants rushed over and surrounded the lady.

"Lady..."

"Lady, are you okay..."

"Lady, wake up..."

Since she had been picked up from water and there were many servants around her, she would be alright in a while. Mo Qianxue guessed that there was no interesting scene to watch and turned to leave. Liu Laoshuan was waiting for her over there.

Yet, just as she turned around, a faint but clear trembling voice rang, "Nanny, nanny, lady...lady isn't breathing..."

Mo Qianxue's body paused and then she heard a scream from the nanny behind her, "Lady, don't die!"

The nannies and girl servants instantly began to cry altogether, as loud as they could.

A little while the lady had been in the water. She died now? Mo Qianxue turned back, thinking fast. The lady must be choked by the water. Yet in the ancient time, ordinary people had little medical knowledge. They couldn't know it.

Time to save her!

Mo Qianxue had no time to think too much, pushing away the crowded people before her, and sprinted over.

At this moment, the lady was closely encircled by layers after layer of male and female servants.

Mo Qianxue wasn't able to push them away, shouting, "Don't stand in the way!"

A leader-like person looked unfriendly, "What do you want to do?"

"If you want your lady alive, get out of my way!"

"Our lady is suffering, and you still want to make trouble? Come and get her..."

The person sneered. He was just trying to find someone to blame and she stood out. If the lady died, the masters would definitely get someone to vent their anger. This stupid woman jumped out of the crowd on her own. She was asking for it. Don't blame him for being cold-hearted.

A few male servants stepped forward to catch Mo Qianxue, who roared ragingly, "How dare you! Do you wish her death?"

The servants paused in shock, and the old nanny who was crying on the ground stood up. She seemed a sensible person. In view of the situation, she turned serious and scolded the male servants, "Retreat!"

Fighting back her tears, the nanny got down to her kneels and kowtowed to Mo Qianxue, "Miss, please save our lady. Jian Mansion will give you a generous reward."

The girl servants kneeled down too. If their lady died, they couldn't survive either.

"Evacuate the crowd. Don't stand in the way!" Mo Qianxue didn't waste time in social formalities and, after giving the order, walked right to the lady.

The other servants surrounding her also stepped away at the nanny's directive.

Mo Qianxue squatted on the side of the lady, her right palm placing on the lower part of the chest and left hand on the right hand to press downwards in a regular rhythm until the lady spat out much water from her mouth. She stopped the action.

Then, with one hand placing level and the other into a fist, she started to beat one by one to help her with a chest resuscitation.

"How dare you! Our lady has gone, you should dare to beat her." A girl servant walked up to hit Mo Qianxue but was stopped by the nanny.

Many other girls who wanted to step over were also reprimanded by her.

In view that the beating was futile, Mo Qianxue seemed to decide something.

She seized the lady's jaw and pinched her nostrils. After taking a deep breath, she began to slowly blow air into the lady's mouth and until her chest slightly raised, released the nostrils and pressed with one hand her chest to help her breathe. The process was repeated for a few times.

"Ah...this...this...this is shameless..."

"So shameless..."

"The world is deteriorating..."

The nanny's face turned lead, but she steadily stood there to prevent anyone from getting near.

Although this woman wore cloth gown, her temperament was extraordinary and her air powerful. Even though the way she saved people was unusual, she acted in an organized way with self-possessed look. She even didn't panic under the watchful eyes of so many people.

Only by this, the nanny's hanging heart landed. As a tutoring nanny of a young lady of great family background, she had more experience and temperament than other servants.

The crowd was shocked. But since the nanny was there, no one dare to approach them. In fact, most people didn't dare to watch Mo Qianxue's scaring and rude movement and turned away, not looking at them.

The man on the tree branch sat high and saw clear of what was going on here. He shattered a branch with one hand, but this wasn't enough. His finger bones were squeaking from squeezing, which he himself even didn't notice.

This woman...this woman should kiss another woman.

Too, too, too hateful!

He jumped off the branch, turning around to leave, but then he stopped and helplessly jumped onto the branch again.

He couldn't rest assured until he saw her getting on Liu Laoshuan's carriage.

"Um..."

The lady one the ground suddenly snorted and opened her eyes.

"Lady, you wake up."

At once, the site was in an uproar with everyone casting their eyes to Miss Jian who just woke up. Mo Qianxue, the life-savor, was squeezed out of the crowd.

But she didn't care. Her aim was to save people for her own conscience, not the reward afterwards. Now that the lady woke up, her task was well completed.

With a smile, she walked away silently to the place where Liu Laoshuan parked his ox carriage. Her steps were light and brisk.

Biting his teeth in a rage, the elegant figure on the branch also left after confirming that Mo Qianxue got onboard. Next chapter ↓↓ (External Link Below ↓↓)
