Chapter 6: Killing for Life
Fang Qianxue took a deep breath and said, "If you still want to persuade me to give in, please go back, Second Master!"
Lu Changqing was annoyed, but he still put on a gentle expression: "Qianxue, today I have a request for you. As long as you agree to it, I will stay in your room for half a month every month in the future."
"Are you serious, my husband?" Fang Qianxue asked with a teasing look in her eyes.
This man actually sold himself for Xu Miaoyan?
Okay, that's crazy.
"Really?" Lu Changqing thought, see, I knew you were impatient.
"Then tell me about it."
"Miao Yan has been suffering from heart disease for many years. Only your heart blood can save her." The man lowered his head, put his hands in his hair, and said with great sorrow, "You are my wife. If it were not for the last resort, I would not ask you for this. I know I am not a human being. I feel guilty for you!"
"Who said that my heart's blood can save her?" Fang Qianxue smiled bitterly.
When they had just gotten married, the couple sat around a stove one day. Lu Changqing added charcoal to the brazier, and sparks flew up and burned Fang Qianxue's favorite pomegranate skirt.
He immediately threw the tongs in panic, grabbed Fang Qianxue's hand and said it was all his fault, and that he would buy her a better skirt in the future.
At that time, his face was flushed with excitement and there was light in his peach blossom eyes.
When he really felt guilty, he would never look like this with his hands plugged in.
"Miao Yan heard what the spirit bird in Medicine King Valley said." Lu Changqing replied.
"Spirit Bird? Not to mention that no one has ever heard a spirit bird speak, I'm afraid few people have even seen one. Just based on her one-sided statement..."
"Fang Qianxue!" Lu Changqing suddenly raised his voice, "Don't judge others by your own standards. Miaoyan is kind-hearted. She knew that your blood could save her, but she kept it to herself. She cares so much about you, can't you be more generous for once?"
"What you mean by magnanimity is cutting open your heart and letting someone take your blood?" Fang Qianxue was so angry that she almost exploded, but she suppressed her anger and didn't slap him.
"You don't have to cut open your heart. I asked the court doctor, and he said that you only need to insert a thin needle into your heart and take three drops of blood every day! It will just be a little painful, but it won't be life-threatening." Lu Changqing held her hand, his eyes full of anxiety, "Qianxue, believe me. If it really was life-threatening, why would I tell you?"
"You are also a top scholar who studied hard for ten years, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant," Fang Qianxue sneered, "If my grandfather saw you like this today, he would definitely regret letting you become his disciple."
When the late Grand Tutor Fang Qingshi was mentioned, Lu Changqing's expression immediately changed, and it was hard to tell whether it was hatred or fear.
There were two knocks on the door.
"Second Master, Madam, the hot water is ready." came the maid's voice.
Lu Changqing was embarrassed and annoyed, and he had lost his mood: "Let's stop today. I'm leaving first."
"Goodbye, my husband. I won't see you off."
The man walked to the door and turned back: "Please think carefully about what I just said. If you save Miao Yan, I will be grateful to you in the future. If you are stubborn..."
"What?" Fang Qianxue looked at him coldly, waiting for him to say "a letter of divorce".
The man pursed his thin lips, stared at her with red eyes for a moment, and rushed out.
The pine sound is in the middle.
The afternoon sun is warm.
A tabby cat climbed over the wall and landed on the veranda fence. After taking a few steps, it was caught by a slender hand.
"Mao'er, what's your name?" Xu Miaoyan sat on the fence, leaning against the vermilion pillar, the girl's posture was lazy and graceful, "So you are a wild cat without a name, I really envy you."
Lu Changqing said that her heart disease had not yet healed and would not allow her to leave the house, so he asked Old Madam Chen and Lu Wanrou to stay with her more often.
But Chen and Lu Wanrou, those two greedy and mercenary villains, kept talking about "Qilin Beast" and "Saint Girl Guarding the Country" every other sentence.
You are really bringing up something that is not related to the topic!
That day in the palace, Xu Miaoyan discovered that she could not understand Qilin's speech and was almost panicked. However, these two people kept urging her to go into the palace and persuade Qilin to eat.
Xu Miaoyan became upset when she saw Chen and Lu Wanrou, and could only claim to be sick and not enter the palace.
After two days of being bored, she couldn't wait to start chatting with a cat as soon as she caught one.
"Sometimes I feel that humans are not as good as you cats. You are free, unlike me... I have no control over myself." She lamented to herself.
The cat meowed twice.
"You're asking about my illness?" Xu Miaoyan looked around and smiled elegantly, "Let me tell you a secret..."
****
"Kill someone in exchange for his life?!" Fang Qianxue dropped the spoon in her hand into the bowl with a clang, "So she doesn't have any heart disease at all..."
