The Lady's Sickly Husband Chapter 67: A ‘Happy’ Ending

Once he was recognized by other, Li Kaishi put down his hand covering the face and instantly pushed away aunt Fang who was still in shock.
"You, you, you… Why you? Oh, my dear heaven!"
"Why can't it be me? I also want to ask why it' s her?"
The two sides all got their schemes in their mind. By their questions and answers, people immediately knew what the going on, especially when they recalled the fact that aunt Fang had constantly called the person Mr. Ning even before she saw clearly the face.
At once, the face of elder Fang turned blue, rushing over and giving aunt Fang, his wife, a nasty smack in the face.
The one who was also in shock was sister Fang. The smack was so loud that seemed to shake her soul. After all these twists and turns, shock and anxiety, now sister Fang was soaked in sweat.
Regarding carefully at the person and confirming that it was Li Kaishi, she collapsed onto the ground with a long sigh of relief. Finally, her nightmare came to an end.
After the slap, elder Fang bowed to the village head, "Forgive me, head. I didn't teach my daughter well. Now since this has happened, Li family must give us a proper answer." Finishing his request, he stared at elder Li with a hideous look.
The two families had been at odds and always bickered over trifles.
Elder Li was discontent and angry about his son's deed, but now that his son was a cripple who would find it hard to get a wife and it did happen, he had to accept it.
Although he had these thoughts in his mind, he somewhat felt unwilling and said, "What answer? Our son Shikai is a quiet and clean person. But for your daughter seducing him, how can such a thing happen? Don't think that I don't know. Your little daughter is spoiled and lazy and picky. Want to marry to our family? No way!"
Their son slept another family's daughter. It should be reasonable to marry her. Yet, he must humiliate elder Fang to the most so that he could offer less bridal gift and they would give more dowry.
Moreover, this elder Fang was no good man, and his daughter was a sticky woman too, so he must take this opportunity to suppress their momentum. Only with this taunt in his hand, she would be nice to his son in the future.
Elder Fang pissed off, "Do you mean that you don't want to take the responsibility?" If he swallowed the anger right now, could her daughter live a comfortable life in the future? He must talk this through with the other party. He was afraid that the old man even didn't want to pay the bridal gift.
"By her character, she can only be a concubine."
"Dare you say that again!"
The village head saw that the two elders would start a fight if the conversation continued, so he scolded, "Stop arguing. Don't you make enough scene?"
"Your ages forbid you from bickering."
"Obviously, Li family talks nonsense!"
"What nonsense did I say? Everyone knows what a person Fang Taoer is. Why should our Kaishi marry such a woman?"
The two started again, and the village head felt dizzy standing between them, shouting, "Stop it you two! Shameful. Now that they aren't married, just throw a wedding for them and turn this page over."
The village head reprimanded them verbally, but actually he was in great mood, because if these two people became a couple, then in the future there would be much less troubles arising in the village.
The elder Fang sent his wife out to search for a good man every few days.
And elder Li also often showed up at the village head's house and let his wife find Li Kaishi a woman.
With the village head standing in between, more people stepped forward to pull apart the two elders. After all, this was not a proper place to discuss about the marriage.
Upon elder Fang's leaving, aunt Fang came to life again, spring up from the ground and giving a few slaps in Li Kaishi's face.
Aunt Li saw her son being bullied and hurriedly stood up for him.
"It's your daughter who is shameless. Why are you hitting my son?"
"Obviously it's your son raping my daughter."
"You're so shameless…"
In the end, the thing had happened. As a mother, what aunt Fang could do was to fight for her daughter, "What did you say? Say it again and I'll tear up your mouth.
What's wrong with our Taoer? She's at least a complete person, not like your vogue son, who is a cripple now…"
Both aunt Fang and aunt Li had anger in their throats, blaming each other for spoiling their perfect plan. Therefore, at first, they only cursed and then started to fight, becoming enemies before becoming families.
There were a few people who tried to pull their apart, but the two women hit and tore each other like they had taken drugs, seizing each other's hair and never letting go. The others couldn't step in at all.
"Let go of me!"
"You release me first!"
In view that the was no room for them to stop the fight and the two women already lost their spirits, only stubbornly grabbing each other but not going mad again, the crowd began to step back and stood on the side to watch the drama.
The two mothers were in a heated fight and cursing while the two at the dark corner of the wing room acted as if this had nothing to do with themselves.
Both of them felt hot bodily and didn't get enough just now. The medical soup took its effect, but it wouldn't turn people too muddled to stop doing it.
Of course, these two who had drunk the soup weren't chaste ones. The sweetness they just tasted was just far from enough.
They used to hate each other, but now they found the other person increasingly pleasing to look at.
The room was dark. Aunt Fang and Li fought from inside to outside, and others also followed them out. No one noticed the man and woman.
Li Kaishi give her a lascivious look while walking to the corner, and Fang Taoer immediately followed up with a salacious smile. In the corner, the two bit and kissed and touched.
These two shameless people made out like two primitive animals. After a few rounds, before they fully took off the clothes, one of them took out the thing while the other…
In less than two minutes, the sex started again.
......
Outside the house, it was in an uproar, yet the two people in the inner room stayed abnormally calm.
One was half-lying on the couch and reading a book; the other played the abacus with a smile. A candle was lit between the couch and the table. The warm yellowish light made the room increasingly tranquil and peaceful.
Mo Qianxue finished checking the account book, stretched out, and gave a bigger smile hearing the noises outside. She looked back at Ning Shaoqing who was reading in such silence and somehow felt a little uneasy.
She had a feeling that all her small tricks didn't escape his eyes, so she recovered from being complacent, walked over and forced a laugh, "Do you think I'm too bad?"
Ning Shaoqing put down the book, looking at her quietly, "No way! I think you're too kind."
"Uh?" Just now she was only suspicious, but at the moment she could tell for sure that he knew everything. But how? Scarier was that he not only knew everything, but also remained so calm for so long to read a book. It seemed that she needed to reconsider this person.
At the sight of her numb look, Ning Shaoqing poked her forehead and coughed, "You're doing a good thing by eliminate two scourges for the whole village and at the same time make a marriage." He looked serious, but Mo Qianxue was super happy and greatly relieved.
After laughing, she imitated Ning Shaoqing's solemn tone and added, "You're right. They are a natural couple." With their personalities, they might enjoy a few sweet days at the beginning, but in the future there would be numerous bits and pieces to fight over. Truly, it was a natural match.
"Hahaha." This time Ning Shaoqing bust into laughter.
He took Mo Qianxue into his arms, whispering to her ear, "Qianxue, do you know you're so beautiful when you smile?"
Momentarily she flushed. She wanted to say that he was prettier with a smile.
Somewhere outside, the shadow guard poked his ears. He didn't get it wrong, did he? Since when did his master begin to speak sweet words to women?
Then he heard strange sounds from another place. With a sneer, a black shadow flashed out.
The two rolling in the wing room suddenly felt a surge of cold coming at them and trembled at it.
Li Kaishi even felt a weird gust of wind amidst the cold, sweeping down along his spine, which made his thing soft at once.
Trembling and startled, he got up and put on his pants, glancing around.
Fang Taoer felt the emptiness within her body and put her arms around his neck, joking with discontent, "You little fool!"
Li Kaishi checked again and again, but he spotted nobody. After all, he was a little guilty and comforted her, "Good girl. Next time I'm sure making you full."
The shadow guard sneered in the dark because once hit by his Breaker technique, the man had no more opportunity to feed up a woman again for the rest of his life. Originally, the shadow guard learned this technique only out of curiosity, so this was the first time he actually used it. The two filthy people deserved this for having stained the land of his master.
"Look how timid you are!" Fang Taoer began to get dressed. Though she cursed him verbally, her heart felt very sweet. She would have it later in the future.
Whiling putting on clothes, she even secretly called herself blind: Mr. Ming was obviously weaker than Li Kaishi, who was so sweet and knew romance.
Li Kaishi also got dressed and followed out.
They saw two old women at each other's throat. Exchanging a look, they pulled away their own mother respectively with detest and then whispered for a while.
Aunt Fang and Li turned less tense but still hated each other. Both of them snorted and planned to throw out a few more cursing but were dragging away by their useless children.
The audience didn't expect such an end. Seeing that it was too late, everyone said goodbye and went home.
Sister Fang and Guihua and Juniang sent away all the guests, cleaning up the tables and left quietly. No one entered the inner room to interrupt with the lovebirds in the inner room.
*
After getting up in the early morning, Mo Qianxue first had a check in the workshop and subtly warned sister Fang and Guihua by the way. Though what they had done yesterday was of good intention, she didn't wish such a thing to happen again.
Good or bad, she wished that her fate was in her own hands other than a bowl of soup or medicine.
Today was a good day, because her restaurant was open for business.
By the time when Mo Qainxue, Juniang and Wang Xiaolei arrived there, Yunyao had already cleaned it up and prepared everything.
Yuyao had a good-looking face and carried with her good manners in every gesture. The first time Mo Qianxue met her was five days ago.
On that day, with Su Qi as the middle guy, Mo Qianxue made an appointment with lord Wu to discuss tofu business at Baiyunju.
On halfway.
She was in white with filial band on her head, kneeling on the ground. The black long hair was tied in a bun. The pale face could see no traces of blood and eyes were teemed with sorrow. But there wasn't a tear. In her arms held a small girl with exactly the same expression with her.
Mo Qianxue walked over, stood there and looked down at a piece of white cloth in front of her, writing:
"I'm Yunyao. My husband went out to pursue his learning career the next day we got married and never came back after eight years. I gave birth to a daughter and lived with my parents-in-law ever since. We weren't rich and unexpectedly, my father-in-law got a rare disease, so my mother-in-law and I had to spend all of our properties to raise money for the medical expense.
However, he died after all.
My mother-in-law didn't survive the sudden change and died on the same day with him from tiredness and concern. I don't have a penny or any relatives, so now their bodies were put in a temple because I can't afford to bury them in tombs. To any gentleman past by that could give me a hand to give my parents-in-law a funeral, I'm willing to be your slave and do my best to serve you forever."
The white cloth was clean, and the writing was strong to penetrate the cloth. Obviously she had practiced calligraphy.
In Tianqi Dynasty, a few ordinary women were literate, and fewer practiced calligraphy. It was exactly her writing which made Mo Qianxue stop.
On the white cloth were a few one-cent copper coins. Obviously, there weren't people who wanted to help her in real terms.
A middle-aged plump man stopped by, "This chick is pretty uh? If I buy her, she can be a good slave to serve me. There is a young one too. Nice deal." The tone was disrespectful.
Yunyao tightly held the girl in her arms. The swelling joints of her fingers revealed her agitation.
Yet, her agitation didn't give her away. Her reply was neither humble nor arrogant, totally deadpan, "Sir, I only sell myself for heavy labor. My daughter isn't for sell…" What she meant was clear.
The vicious servant next to the middle-aged fat man cursed, "You fucking idiot…"
Her head lowered down but her back was straight.
The on-lookers persuaded the man, "This chick is hard-fated. You don't know that many years ago, she sold herself like this. A scholar's mother accepted her because she knew how to write. She gave her money to bury her former master and held the wedding after the hundred-day filial mourning period as her daughter-in-law.
Who would know that this tough-fated woman's husband went to an examination and never came back? Now her parents-in-law died too…"
The middle-aged plump man glared at her and left, waving his sleeves, before the on-looker finished, as if fearing of being stained by her unfortunate fate.
Mo Qianxue shook her head and called the ancient folks silly in secrecy.
She really appreciated Yunyao's character. Since the restaurant was about to open, it'd be better to buy a person than hire a worker. It wouldn't be hard to teach her simple mathematics in the future.
Her unyielding expression and responsible deeds, that was selling herself to bury her former master and parents-in-law proved her sense of reliability and conscience.
She would rather sell herself than sell her daughter. It was obvious that though she had a soft heart, she had also principles which she wouldn't give in.
Mo Qianxue couldn't help nodding with satisfaction, walking over and saying, "Raise your head."
Yunyao looked up and numbly stared at Mo Qianxue without saying a word.
"I'll buy you and also take care of your daughter on condition that you must be loyal to me for life."
The pitch-dark eyes became wet and tears welled up immediately and rolled down along her pale cheeks.
Yunyao pulled her daughter together and kowtowed to her, "May heaven bless you my madam. I swear that I shall always be loyal to you, otherwise I'm willing to accept thunder punishment from heaven." Then she gestured her daughter, "Xixi, come and thank lady for her grace."
She herself called Mo Qianxue madam, but let her daughter called lady to indicate that Xixi was not becoming a slave but only taken care of.
Mo Qianxue didn't mind about the addressing terms but just hated the ancient society with strict rules of classes. She was afraid that she shouldn't be called lady and it sounded weird, so she told them, "Don't call me madam or lady. It makes me dizzy. Just call me boss."
This title could apply to a master or madam and also to the employer. Now this address term suited her best.
Yunyao looked up and bowed again, "Yes, boss." She spoke with courteous manner, reflecting a clear and flexible mind.
"May heaven bless you, boss!" Under her mother's suggestion, Xixi bowed again too.
By Yunyao's manner, Mo Qianxue believed that she must have stayed in a noble family and wondered why her former master should degrade to such an extent.
However, her former master's tragedy occurred eight years ago, so it had nothing to do with Mo Qianxue. She asked Yunyao a few more questions and then signed the contract. Giving her ten taels of silver to hold a funeral for her parents-in-law, Mo Qianxue let her come to the dock three days later.
Seeing Mo Qianxue trusted her so much, Yunyao closed her eyes and took a deep breath before insisting on kowtowing to Mo Qianxue again.
Clusters of tears welled up like a spring, falling down onto her white clothes. The little girl saw what her mother did and also got down to the ground and kept kowtowing.
"Thank you, boss."
