The Lady's Sickly Husband

C106. A Deadly Trap

The 15th, the day of Lantern Festival, was a big day for Tianxiang city.

This day was originally the day for Jian and Wan family to exchange age cards, but now it was an exchange between Jian and Xin families.

Master Xin was the governor of Tianxiang city while Jian family was the oldest family in Tianxiang, so certainly, such a big even was known to everyone across the city.

Mo Qianxue had long been invited. In the afternoon, she and Ning Shaoqing took the carriage to Tianxiang city. Tong Zijing, the naughty boy, insisted that he go together with them. Mo Qianxue had to agree but didn't allow him to get into the same carriage.

She would go crazy if, like last time, she sat between Tong Zijing and Ning Shaoqing, not daring to talk because she had to consider the feelings of both of the men and enduring Ning Shaoqing's long face.

Therefore, poor Tong Zijing took his own carriage and followed behind theirs.

At the sight of Tong Zijing, Ning Shaoqing's first reaction was to search for Ji Xuyao.

But before he found him, Mo Qianxue had agreed that Tong Zijing go together. He almost ordered Asan to throw Tong Zijing back to Tong mansion.

Later, when hearing Mo Qianxue forbidding Tong Zijing to take the same carriage, he felt better and gave Asan a 'you know what to do' look before the door closed.

Soon after they set off, one wheel of Tong Zijing's carriage broke off and rolled down the hill. When the driver got it back, the carriage ahead had long gone out of sight.

Seeing Mo Qianxue's carriage disappearing, Tong Zijing no longer wore the childish smile on his face, ordering coldly, "Tong Bai, from tomorrow, you teach me martial arts every morning." Only when he himself became power, he wouldn't be deceived by these people.

"Yes, lord." Tong Bai was an outstanding one among Tong guards. When he was dispatched to lord, butler Tong had told him to be the coach of lord if he wanted to learn martial arts.

The reason why Tong family could stand still was not only because of political and financial powers or fame, but also due to the century-long heritage of martial arts, which let the masters and lords at least protect themselves in the nick of time.

Without strength to oneself, how could a soft weakling fight in the storm of swords and spears to stand above the rest?

"But today, get yourself punishment of twenty beats." Finishing it, Tong Zijing sat back into the carriage, "If such a thing happened again, you go back to Tong mansion and get more training."

"Yes." Hearing the order, Tong Bai trembled for a second, lowering his head, willing to accept the punishment, and what was more, becoming awed towards his lord, "It was my fault. Thanks for your punishment."

At this time, he sincerely took Tong Zijing as a real lord.

He could have deflected the little stone flying over from the front, but he chose to pretend not noticing it and let the carriage drove head-on so that the wheel got off faster. There was only one reason why he had done it. He didn't wish to see his lord welcoming Ning Shaoqing's cold buttocks with a warm face.

More importantly, he hadn't thought that lord could know the secret plot.

Tong Zijing wasn't close to Mr. Tong indeed, but Tong Zhan, the grandson of butler Tong as well as the future butler, would certainly tell Tong Zijing everything.

Since Tong Zhan was a loyal man, he naturally had explained every detail for Tong Zijing.

Mo Qianxue lifted up the curtain, happening to see the wheel running off the carriage and down the hill.
