The Lady’s Sickly Husband - Chapter 231. Strangle This Woman!

Translator: Antonia

She never expressed anger towards those who verbally attacked her but always leverage on a few words to fight back and did something more thrilling, that was to let the people slap their own faces!

This was how she had dealt with the Ning, and how she would treat this Xie!

“Qianxue… Qianxue…” Su Qi murmured her name again and again, a shadow of bitter smile hovering on his lips.

Such a dazzling woman! How could I just move on?

He had seen how Mo Qianxue tried to set up Feng Yuchen with Lan Ruomeng.

It reminded him of the several times when she had tried to set him up with Junzhu Susu, which he found was such an annoyance.

It was almost agony!

He took a deep breath and told himself that this woman was addicted to matchmaking, and he would never give her this chance.

Since the last plum-blossom party, Mo Qianxue made her mark once again!

If someone believed that the last excellent performance of her was merely as result of plagiarism, this time, her reputation was confirmed!

Among all the guests in this party, many were scholars of humble origins, who were really men of learning and mainstay of the country!

The poem made by Mo Qianxue already trigger great respect in them towards her, and how could they have other thoughts of scandal?

The Xie lady said more on the stage, and the supporters of the Xie family all left.

All she received was cold sharp eyes, and despise!

The Xie wasn’t that stupid and, after Mo Qianxue took an impatient glance at her, her voice became smaller and smaller, and at last, she sneaked away awkwardly.

For a time, the young lords and ladies surrounded about Mo Qianxue, not with malicious intentions, but out of admiration for her talent!

Almost everyone asked Mo Qianxue about the key points of making a great poem.

Someone even took her last peach-blossom poem as an example and asked her questions about images and connotations.

These people were all in a respectful manner.

Mo Qianxue became soft-hearted, when others treated her with sincerity.

She only had to answer the questions one by one.

Until about noon, the people crowding around Mo Qianxue finally dispersed, and Mo Qianxue now was nearly washed out…

It required real learnings to deal with the aftermath of plagiarism.

Things would end up a worse mess if someone smelled a rat. Luckily, she was a literature major!

Although she was tired, Mo Qianxue felt it was worthwhile.

She didn’t regret.

She believed those with a real passion for literature were true gentlemen and ladies.

These people were whom she could make friends with. In the future, to settle down in the inner courtyard of the Ning Mansion, it would be better to have more friends than enemies.

Lan Ruomeng had things to take care of and had long left. There was only Susu staying with her.

Seeing those people finally dispersed, she walked up to her and looked at her fondly.

“Qianxue, let’s go. It’s noon. Let’s go and eat something.”

“You look so tired. Is it worthwhile?”

How could Mo Qianxue fail to understand the implication?

It was so heartwarming. It was really nice to have someone caring for her!

“It’s not very tiring, and I believe it’s a process that us women have to go through. Not to mention the family I’ll be married to was the Ning family, I still have to shoulder on such burdens in another mansion. Once we’re in this position, we should try our best to make things right, shouldn’t we?”

Junzhu Susu fondly looked at Mo Qianxue’s sunburn red cheeks and understood that what Mo Qianxue said was true.

Children of the great families like them, before getting married, thought about nothing but the benefit of their maternal families in all social relations. Once they were engaged, then these women should think and do everything for the sake of the in-law family. Their whole lives should be dedicated to others!

“Never mind! I guess you’re right. Let’s go.”

“Yes.” Mo Qianxue laughed and didn’t say more, following Susu to the main hall for dinner.

In fact, she really wasn’t very tired. As she had said, she didn’t want to become a woman depending on Ning Shaoqing like a vine having to crawl around a big tree to survive!

Ning Shaoqing had his responsibilities to shoulder and to take care of. How exhausted he would be if she needed him to take care of everything for her?

She couldn’t bear to see it and wouldn’t do it.

Because this party was quite an open party in Tianqi, inviting both men and women, so the host certainly couldn’t be bias towards one side. In addition, Tianqi was a relatively open country, where though there was a boundary between men and women, it wasn’t very strict.

Such a party where men and women dined together was rare but nothing strange.

Supposedly, although Mo Qianxue was the lady of the Founder Mansion, she was still not eligible to take the most honored seat.

After all, there was still a strict hierarchy in this era. However, Mo Qianxue had another identity, and that was the future Madam Ning of the super Ning family.

Therefore, she was set to sit in the foremost seat, and it didn’t excite doubts.

Moreover, nearly all the men and women present had been impressed by her talent and showed great respect to her. Therefore, even if Mo Qianxue took the main seat, the others wouldn’t have an objection.

Lan Ruomeng was truly a thoughtful person, and when she had arranged the seats, she already put Mo Qianxue and Susu together, so that they could talk to each other.

To this, Mo Qianxue didn’t say anything but gave Lan Ruomeng a thankful look.

Lan Ruomeng smiled back at Mo Qianxue, and then subconsciously looked over at Feng Yuchen among all the male guests and felt more shy when he gave her a faint smile.

Certainly, Mo Qianxue noticed it. It was hopeful! She felt at last assured.

In fact, no one hoped more than Mo Qianxue that Feng Yuchen could find his own happiness. The deceased would never come back, and the alive should move on after all.

Mo Qianxue sat in the main position, and to her left was Susu while to her right… Gui Xiaoxi—wife of Ning Shaoyu!

During the dinner, Mo Qianxue took a few glances at these noble madams. Gui Xiaoxi just sat there indifferently, sipping her tea and didn’t touched a bit of the dishes in front of her.

Mo Qianxue didn’t know what kind of woman this was but understood that anyone having anything to do with Ning Shaoyu wouldn’t be a good person! The monstrous guy should hate his own brother so much as to have poisoned him. Only this point was sufficient to shut him out of the camp of good people forever! And the wife of an evil guy…huh, certainly couldn’t be a good one!

Mo Qianxue still remembered the eyes of her full of resentment cast at her in the morning!

She really didn’t understand how she had offended her…

Doubtless, Mo Qianxue still didn’t know yet the relationship between Gui Xiaoxi and Ning Shaoqing. Gui Xiaoxi didn’t hide her scrutiny at Mo Qianxue. Ever since she was at this party, she had been secretly eyed at Mo Qianxue, undeniably, with jealousy!

That was a hatred that couldn’t be concealed!

It should be her, Gui Xiaoxi, to stand next to Ning Shaoqing!

She was the one who had been engaged to Ning Shaoqing!

But reality was so transitory, and heaven seemed to enjoy joking very much and pushed her down from the future Madam Ning to such an awkward place!

In Gui Xiaoxi’s eyes, this Mo Qianxue had nothing worth mentioning except for a few little poems.

She wasn’t as beautiful as her.

She wasn’t as popular as her either.

But the stupid woman was just so lucky and happened to take care of Ning Shaoqing during his disappearance, and then because of this, she was thrown dirt at. Ning Shaoqing, the most dignified gentleman, certainly had to prove her innocence and regard her as his responsibility.

Was that a trap set up by that woman?

Thinking of this, Gui Xiaoxi only wished to rush over and strangle the woman!
