Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 66 Ambiguity
Lu Jing looked ahead. The night was too dark. After walking through a wild forest and going up the mountain, the moonlight emerged from the clouds. Lu Jing's gaze paused slightly. Su Qingwan was sitting in his arms. He was much taller than her. He looked down and saw a line of blood on her slender white neck, seeping from her hair. He didn't know whether it was her injury or someone else's blood.

That touch of red looks particularly... eye-catching on the white and delicate neck.

Lu Jing looked away and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you hurt?"

Su Qingwan fell down on purpose while running, but she didn't control the strength well and hit her head. She felt a little dizzy. She cursed herself for acting too realistically and it was really a self-torture tactic.

"I am fine."

Lu Jing held the reins in one hand, and his arm was almost across her waist, as if to outline her waist. He held an embroidered spring knife in his hand, which was still dripping with blood under the moonlight.

It was like he was protecting her with one hand, but the knife could turn around and cut her at any time.

Chen Feng and others were chasing them relentlessly. Lu Jing took Su Qingwan up the mountain quickly. Suddenly, the horses let out a long neigh, as if they encountered some danger.

The vision in the forest was unclear, and Lu Jing was not aware of the situation. He instinctively hugged Su Qingwan and rolled to the ground. The horse's hooves were raised, and it turned out that he had stepped on a trap.

It looked like a trap set by the villagers to hunt large wild animals. The trap was tightly clamped on the horse's leg and bleeding. Lu Jing quickly dismantled it. The horse's leg was bloody and mangled, but it was still able to run away.

But Lu Jing patted his buttocks and whistled, and the white horse turned around and ran into the forest to help Lu Jing divert the pursuers. The sound of Chen Feng and others' horse hooves was right behind them, and Lu Jing pulled Su Qingwan and hid under a slope in the forest.

Chen Feng and the others chased to the trap, stopped, dismounted and checked.

Lu Jing looked up and saw that most of the people there were masked. Several of them were the men in black who had attacked the farm first. They were checking the traps.

The trap was covered in blood.

Morning Breeze said, "The horses are injured. They can't run far. Keep chasing!"

"Boss, there are horse hoof prints over here. They ran this way."

"Chase!"

The eleven people mounted their horses one after another and chased in the direction of the white horse.

Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at Su Qingwan, and was slightly stunned.

Su Qingwan was leaning against the slope, with a bunch of weeds above her head. The two of them hid here in a hurry. Lu Jing did not try to avoid suspicion. He knelt on one knee between Su Qingwan's legs, leaning forward slightly, almost covering her.

The posture... is extremely ambiguous.

He was so tall that he almost blocked the moonlight, casting a dark shadow on her.

The sound of horse hooves startled the birds in the forest, and they fled in panic.

Lu Jing's ears felt slightly hot, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I was abrupt."

He quickly stepped back, keeping his distance.

Su Qingwan said, "If you can't even take care of your own life, who would care about avoiding suspicion?"

Her smile was somewhat forced. "I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have died in the farm tonight and I would not have seen the dawn tomorrow."

Lu Jing stood up and said, "Let's go back to Beijing first. The Jinyiwei will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

Su Qingwan stood up and suddenly threw herself forward. Lu Jing had just turned around when she jumped into her arms. Her warmth and softness were like a gentle land, instantly killing all the swordplay and saber-beating that had occurred throughout the night.

"..."

Su Qingwan cursed herself in annoyance. It seemed like she was throwing herself into his arms, but the fact was that Lu Jinggang had been pressing on her for too long. Her legs were paralyzed, and when she stood up, they were stiff and painful, and she couldn't move, like a human stick.

"Sister-in-law?"

"My legs are numb." Su Qingwan's voice sounded a bit gnashing of teeth.

Lu Jing didn't think that his sister-in-law was throwing herself at him. After all, there was a clear line between uncle and sister-in-law. But tonight, he had too much physical contact with his sister-in-law, and he could clearly smell her unique fragrance. Lu Jing clenched his fist and stretched out his forearm, "Sister-in-law, can you help me walk?"

He was wearing a black narrow-sleeved nightgown tonight, and there was a wrist guard made of fine iron on his forearm. When Su Qingwan touched it with her palm, she felt a cool sensation.

After the crisis was resolved, there was an unspeakable silence between the two.

It seemed that everyone thought that the intimate contact tonight was inappropriate and inappropriate for their status.

As both of them were so absorbed in their thoughts, neither of them noticed the potential danger ahead. It was dark at night in the forest, with weeds growing wildly. Ahead was the way down the mountain.

Lu Jing realized something was wrong when he stepped on empty air, but he had no time to react, and he and Su Qingwan fell off the cliff together.

"..."Su Qingwan really wanted to curse someone, but she didn't know whether to curse herself or Lu Jing.

Her plan was perfect, forcing Lu Jing to run to the mountain. She had set the trap long ago, and in order to prevent Lu Jing from becoming suspicious, she pretended it was a hunter's trap.

She wanted to kill Lu Jing to prevent future troubles.

Unexpectedly, she brought herself into a trap. If she died on the cliff, she would die with her eyes open.

"Lu Jing, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

But her voice was almost pierced between her lips and teeth. The two of them fell off the cliff so fast and the wind was so strong that Lu Jing could hardly hear what she said.

This turned out to be a cliff, hidden in the weeds. It was difficult to find even in the daytime, let alone at night when the vision was unclear. Lu Jing calmed himself, holding Su Qingwan's waist with one hand, and holding the Embroidered Spring Knife in the other hand, constantly scratching the rock wall to increase resistance and slow down their speed of falling off the cliff.

The Embroidered Spring Knife created sparks as it struck the cliff wall. The blade was almost deformed and still could hardly bear the weight of two people. The two men paused on the cliff for a moment, and the blade became stuck in a stone.

Just as Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the sound of stone loosening.

The two of them were just hanging in the air.

If he were alone, he should be able to climb up the cliff with the help of the Embroidered Spring Sword. However, it would be almost impossible if he brought his sister-in-law with him. However, it was not his style to throw her off the cliff.

Humans are animals that seek benefits and avoid harm, especially when it comes to life and death, the choices that best reveal a person's character. Lu Jing lowered his head and glanced at Su Qingwan.

Perhaps she was frightened tonight, her face was pale, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him seemed to be resentful, annoyed, and like she was asking for help.

At the moment of life and death, Su Qingwan could not afford to gamble with Lu Jing's sympathy, so she hugged his waist tightly, not caring to avoid suspicion, and took out a dagger to hold it against his waist.

She almost gritted her teeth and said, "Don't think of abandoning me. Let's die together!"

Lu Jing, "..."

The dagger was exquisite and hidden in the sleeve, like a woman's self-defense weapon. The cold blade was already against his abdomen. She could kill him with one blow if she moved a little.

"Are you sure you want to fight me sword to sword in the middle of a cliff?"

"I don't trust anyone when life and death are at stake. Besides, you have a bad reputation. If only one person can survive, can you protect me?" Su Qingwan frowned. If it were her, she would definitely choose to live and Lu Jing to die. Putting herself in his shoes, Lu Jing would definitely abandon her.

Lu Jing looked down at the bottomless cliff, not knowing how dangerous it was. He would be crushed to pieces if he fell down. He let go of Su Qingwan's hand and said lightly, "Hold me tight."

He freed his hands, grabbed the sharp rock next to him with his bare hands, and climbed over with Su Qingwan, then pulled out the Embroidered Spring Knife and quickly inserted it into a rock wall.

As soon as the Xiuchun Knife was pulled out, the loose rocks rolled down the cliff.

The birds at the bottom of the cliff were startled and spread their wings to fly upwards. It turned out to be an eagle with huge wings, flying almost close to them, creating a strong wind that swept them directly off the cliff.

Lu Jing, "..."

Su Qingwan, "..."
