Chapter 174: The Marquis Feeds
"Your Excellency will have to check this."
Su Qianqian leaned against the wall of the car. Although there were so many difficult problems to solve, she was too tired to open her eyes. Even though her whole body was in pain, the relaxation after escaping from danger made her drowsy.
[My lady, these people are the assassins raised by Lu Jing. 】The system felt a little guilty and its voice was flattering.
【Lu Jing? 】Su Qianqian’s eyelids twitched.
[Yes, Lu Jing was doing very well in selling official positions and earning a lot of money. He had long ago started to raise assassins in his villa. These were only a part of them, called the Fire Department. Today, almost one-third of the Fire Department's men were dispatched, but they were all wiped out unexpectedly. 】
The system quickly explained in a low voice that some things cannot be said, but everything that can be said must be said.
[Just because I took that list, he had someone chop me with a knife? 】If the system hadn’t said it, Su Qianqian would not have believed it.
[Lu Jing has always been able to do things smoothly because he is so ruthless that even his two elder brothers have to give him some ground. But he lost his place on the list in your hands, which is a great humiliation for him. 】
【Lu Jing! He didn't know what real humiliation was yet. 】Su Qianqian said softly and continued to close her eyes.
[Prince Ping was coming out of the teahouse and taking his subordinates to the weapons shop when they happened to see a horse-drawn carriage running wildly. The people nearby said that the people in the carriage were definitely dead. Even a brave man like Marquis Wuning could not stop such a frightened horse. He was eager to win, so he rode his horse to chase after it.
As for why he risked his life to save you, it was probably because of that sentence 'he will definitely die'? He just wants to go against the inevitable fate. 】
The system dutifully explained all of Qin Yuzhuo's questions, as an apology and compensation to Su Qianqian.
But before the system could get Su Qianqian's response, she had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Qin Hanzhang's eyes were deep outside the carriage.
Lu Jing knew that "Su Qian" was a cousin who was staying at the Wuning Marquis's mansion. Even the princess didn't dare to act rashly after losing the list, but Lu Jing dared to act in the downtown area, ordered people to intercept the two guards protecting Su Qianqian, and sent assassins to follow Su Qianqian all the way to kill her. If it weren't for the fact that Prince Ping was so competitive...
The more Qin Hanzhang thought about it, the more scared he became. For the first time, he knew what fear felt like and his eyes fell on the car window.
The person leaning against the wall of the car, separated by that layer of wood, almost could not open his eyes to look at him again, just like his father and brother.
"Lu Jing..." Qin Hanzhang repeated the name softly...
It was already dark when they returned to the mansion and entered the second gate. Qin Yuzhuo's maid Qingyu was waiting at the second gate. When she saw Qin Yuzhuo get out of the car and shout "Miss", she rushed over to her, crying and checking if she was injured anywhere.
Several of Su Qianqian's maids were also waiting at the second gate. They put a cloak on Su Qianqian, who had just woken up and was still dazed, and helped her into the sedan chair while wiping her tears.
Dianfeng followed behind with his head held high.
Qin Hanzhang sent Su Qianqian back to Tinglan Courtyard and told Su Mu to get a blood-activating ointment. After Su Qianqian took a bath, he rubbed the bruised parts of her body. He also reminded her not to get her hands wet and asked the court doctor to come and bandage her properly.
The maids agreed and carefully helped Su Qianqian into the bathroom.
After Su Qianqian took off her clothes, Su Mu and Su Zi, who were serving her, started sobbing again: Su Qianqian's body was covered with bruises in many places, which looked very shocking.
"It's not that serious, just some bumps and bruises. It will be fine after a few days when the bruises go away."
Su Qianqian comforted the two girls, thinking that it was good enough that they could come back alive, and that this injury was no big deal.
After taking a bath and wrung out my hair, I came out and found the court doctor waiting outside. I put on my clothes, invited him in, and bandaged my hands carefully.
Qin Hanzhang also changed into moon-white casual clothes embroidered with cloud patterns, and Shi Yan walked in with a food box behind him.
"You haven't eaten much all day, you must be hungry."
Qin Hanzhang looked at Su Qianqian, his eyes fixed on her hands. After a moment, he signaled Shi Yan to put the food box on the table.
"Thank you for your consideration, My Lord. I am indeed hungry." Su Qianqian was not polite either. She raised her two hands wrapped in gauze, which looked like penguin flippers, and crossed them at her waist to salute.
Su Mu went over, opened the lunch box and placed it on the dining table. Su Ye helped Su Qianqian to sit down.
Qin Hanzhang also sat at the table.
When Su Mu served Su Qianqian some porridge and was about to feed her, Qin Hanzhang reached out and took it: "I'll do it."
This was the second time Su Qianqian heard these two words today.
Then Qin Hanzhang was seen fiddling with the wooden spoon stiffly, looking a little nervous.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to do these things, Sumu..." Su Qianqian also felt a little embarrassed. She had only seen herself being fed by a man but had never experienced it herself.
Qin Hanzhang said nothing. He scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it close to his lips to test the temperature before handing it to Su Qianqian's mouth.
Su Qianqian opened her mouth to take it, feeling a little embarrassed. It had been a long time since she was fed by someone, and her memory of it was a little fuzzy.
As Qin Hanzhang became more skilled in his movements, Su Qianqian also ate with peace of mind. She even picked up the unpartitioned hand and pointed at the dishes she wanted to eat.
But when feeding her the biscuits, an accident happened.
Qin Hanzhang tore the biscuit into small pieces, pinched it with two fingers and fed it to Su Qianqian, who opened her mouth to take it.
Qin Hanzhang watched Su Qianqian's lips move slightly and did not release his fingers in time. Su Qianqian just closed her lips and sucked Qin Hanzhang's fingers.
Qin Hanzhang quickly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, but Su Qianqian was so frightened by Qin Hanzhang's action that the biscuit got stuck in her throat. She quickly signaled that she wanted to drink porridge.
Qin Hanzhang came back to his senses and hurriedly fed the porridge to Su Qianqian. After Su Qianqian swallowed the biscuit, Qin Hanzhang said:
"I still have things to do, you should rest early. There is no need to rush to deal with things tomorrow," and then he ran away in a hurry.
[You are so impatient. You can’t continue feeding after half of it. You won’t be a good father in the future! 】
Looking at Qin Hanzhang's back, Su Qianqian commented in her heart that Qin Hanzhang actually stumbled when he went out.
The girls all laughed secretly, and Su Mu took over and continued to feed Su Qianqian, but Su Qianqian suddenly felt bored, so she simply stopped eating, rinsed her mouth, washed her hands, and went to sleep.
Su Qianqian had a dream that night. Many scenes in the dream seemed very familiar to her, as if she had experienced them before. Suddenly she fell, and those scenes disappeared. Her hands hurt so much.
Later, someone took her hand and blew gently into her palm, just like her mother did when her palm was broken, and she felt so comfortable that she wanted the dream to last longer.
When she opened her eyes, she felt her body aching all over, just like the day she rode the horse, but her hands were not as painful.
"The Madam and the Old Lady sent over many things early in the morning, including tonics, medicines for wounds, ointments, and some food. The Marquis came to see you, but after seeing you fall into a deep sleep, he sat for a while and left."
Su Mu set up the tent while reporting to Su Qianqian.
"The Marquis has been here?" Su Qianqian felt strange. Qin Hanzhang had never entered her bedroom when she was asleep.
"When the Marquis came in, the lady was sleeping with a frown on her face, as if she had a nightmare. After the Marquis left, the lady slept soundly."
Su Mu smiled as he put shoes on Su Qianqian.
"Does it have a calming effect, Lord?" Su Qianqian said with a smile.
"Madam, something bad has happened to Master Li!"
Su Xing came in hurriedly to report.
