The Lady's Sickly Husband

C90. Brother-in-Law

Mo Qianxue pondered that when she got back, she should well discipline Asan and Awu, otherwise she couldn't always tolerate their ostensible obedience. However, at a right time, she would definitely buy a few satisfying girl servants.

"Zijing, I'm really busy these days. I planned to come in a few days, but I heard that you missed me so much, so I'm thinking about taking you to live in my house so that you can stay with me. What do you think?"

Mo Qianxue didn't a bit find it funny seeing Tong Zijing, an adult, crying like a baby.

Only because of Ning Shaoqing's presence, she didn't help Zijing wipe out the tears.

"Great! Great!" Tong Zijing's face was still wet and immediately agreed, but meanwhile he unconsciously stole a glance at Ning Shaoqing.

There was both curiosity and fear in his eyes. Mo Qianxue laughed, "This is your brother-in-law. He's a nice person and the most important man to me. He also likes you very much."

Hearing this, Ning Shaoqing finally looked less upset.

"Brother-in-law?" Tong Zijing asked in confusion.

Although Ning Shaoqing didn't like Tong Zijing, he somehow got less defensive on hearing the brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law is the person lives with me."

"I want to live with you too."

Originally, he intended to ask: would I become brother-in-law if I live with sister? But an epiphany flashed in his mind and he remembered what Mo Qianxue had told him about the difference between men and women. Therefore, he seemed to understand more of what was brother-in-law and swallowed the question back to his belly.

Appeasing Tong Zijing for a while, Mo Qianxue ordered the two servants packed clothes for their lord.

Hearing that they would take lord away, the two servants stood there frightened and motionless in a loss.

How matter how bold they were, they didn't dare to let lord go with other people without the permission of master and butler.

Tong Zijing turned back and said, "What my sister says is what I say. If you don't listen, I'll punish or even kill you."

Though this sentence coming from his mouth didn't form a deterrence, it was still effective.

The two servants had been warned and lectured by Mr. Tong and butler Tong not long before that as long as lord was a little dissatisfied about them, they would get punishment.

They remembered that butler Tong had told him that once they serve lord, lord was their master whose command must be carried out. Even if he let you go to hell, prepare to die.

Anyway, there were no escape from death.

Therefore, the two, like on drug, quickly packed everything that Tong Jijing would need.

Mo Qianxue stayed in the room to play with Tong Zijing. Ning Shaoqing was a little impatient, so he decided to take a walk.

The yard was very quiet. Ning Shaoqing stood still, hands behind his body, and looked up to feel the heavy snow. He stood there for long, but not a piece of snowflake fell on him.

He was also in an ambivalence. On one hand, he didn't want to make things difficult for Mo Qianxue, and on the other hand, he didn't want Tong Jingzi followed around Mo Qianxue all the time like a baby.

When they were ready to leave, butler, puffing heavily, just made his way back to Tong mansion. Mr. Tong didn't show up but let the butler bring the title deed of the valley. Mo Qianxue didn't pretentiously refused and directly took it over and handed to Ning Shaoqing.
