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

Chapter 67 Life and Death
Fortunately, when the two fell off the cliff, they were first blocked by a forest, which slowed down the force of their fall. Even so, Su Qingwan fainted the moment she landed on the ground.

This night was very long, both for Su Qingwan and for the people on the farm.

She didn't know how long she had been unconscious. When she woke up, the sky was still dark. She was in great pain all over. Her arms and legs were scratched by tree branches. Fortunately, they were only minor injuries and not serious. The most serious injury was that her head hit a rock, causing her dizziness.

She climbed up with difficulty. It was a cave with cliffs on both sides. Looking up, it was pitch black and there was no end in sight. Su Qingwan smelled the odor of a rotting corpse.

She was no stranger to the smell.

After just a few steps, they saw a skull. It must be an unlucky person who fell off the cliff like them and died at the foot of the cliff.

The body has been turning into bones for some time.

Su Qingwan encountered Lu Jing's Embroidered Spring Knife.

She picked up the knife and looked around. Where was Lu Jing? Was he alive or dead?

Although she set up a plan to kill Lu Jing, she is now in an abyss full of dangers. If Lu Jing dies, can she escape alone?
She found Lu Jing next to a patch of weeds.

"Lu Jing..." Su Qingwan put down the Embroidered Spring Knife, knelt beside Lu Jing, pressed her fingers on his pulse to check, and found that he was still alive, with a relatively steady pulse. It was unknown where he was injured, and why he was unconscious.

"Lu Jing, wake up, Lu Jing..." Su Qingwan pushed him gently and called his name, but Lu Jing did not respond at all.

Su Qingwan thought to herself that maybe he had hit his head like her.

Since he was unconscious, it would be easy to kill him.

The dagger was not lost, she had picked it up. As long as she put it against his neck and applied a little force, Lu Jing would be dead. She set up the trap at the farm not only to investigate Li Xueying.

If Lu Jing still suspected her, she could kill two birds with one stone, or even go even further and blame Li Xueying for Lu Jing's death.

He fell off a cliff and died. As long as she carried his body out and reported the incident of the manor being surrounded and killed to the Jinyiwei, their deputy commander was killed, and the Jinyiwei would definitely find out the truth.

It will be difficult to get rid of the blame for the Marquis of Anping, and Li Xueying will definitely die.

This is a perfect plan, as long as Lu Jing dies at the bottom of the cliff.

Su Qingwan held the dagger, her heart and mind struggling. She thought of the villa full of peonies a few years ago and her sudden departure without saying goodbye.

She also thought of the Jinyiwei who were everywhere in the courtyard when the Huainan Palace was destroyed, of Lu Jing and his men who surrounded and killed Huainan's assassins in Nanfeng Tower, and of the fact that he did not abandon her to escape in mid-air on the cliff. If he had been a little more cruel and abandoned her at that time, he could have climbed up the cliff by himself and there would have been no need to gamble his life.

Her heart beat faster and her palms, which were holding the dagger, began to sweat.

A voice in his heart said that Lu Jing was also a child when the palace was destroyed. This matter had nothing to do with him and he should not be blamed for the whole incident.

You still owe him an explanation.

You and he have a different stance. As he said, life and death are determined by fate and you cannot blame others.

Suddenly, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, and the valley was covered with dark and gloomy air. The midsummer weather was like a child's mood, changing at any time. It was about to rain.

Su Qingwan thought that she had not made up her mind to kill Lu Jing, so she took him out of the rain for the time being and waited until she really made up her mind.

She put away the dagger, pulled Lu Jing's hand and lifted him up, carrying him on her back. Lu Jing was much taller than her, so it was difficult for her to carry him. Both of his legs were dragging on the ground, and Su Qingwan felt like she was going to be crushed by him. She also had to pick up his embroidered spring sword, and almost dragged him forward with the straps on the ground.

Lu Jing, who was sober and pretending to be unconscious, "..."

He woke up a little earlier than Su Qingwan, and when he was about to go find her, he found that Su Qingwan was awake, so he pretended to faint, wanting to see what his eldest sister-in-law would do. When Chen Feng chased Su Qingwan, he was so cruel. If it was a show, then it was too cruel.

If his sister-in-law really had any connection with the remnants of Huainan, and she saw him unconscious at the foot of the cliff, that would be the best opportunity to kill him, so he wanted to test her one last time.

If his eldest sister-in-law tried to kill him, he would think that the chase on the cliff was just a show.

He and his sister-in-law had never been enemies except for the Huainan case in Nanfeng Tower. He also knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake, and returned the money she had used to fill the hole. Seeing that he was in trouble, his sister-in-law would not add insult to injury.

At most... it's like watching someone die without helping.

He had a bad reputation and had once severely injured her, almost killing her. His sister-in-law even threatened him with a dagger while she was in mid-air.

Lu Jing didn't expect that his sister-in-law would save him.

Su Qingwan has been practicing martial arts since she was young and is stronger than ordinary women, but she still finds it strenuous to carry Lu Jing on her back. Lu Jing even feels that he can crush her to death. When he lies on the back of his thin and frail sister-in-law, Lu Jing feels that it is very inappropriate and too intimate.

He leaned on Su Qingwan's shoulder. Su Qingwan staggered while carrying his heavy load. Lu Jing inevitably touched her cheek. He also noticed the dried blood on his sister-in-law's fair neck, like a bright red mole.

He could smell the subtle fragrance of his sister-in-law.

Lu Jing just felt sorry for his brother. How could he put himself and his sister-in-law in such a situation? If others saw it, he and his sister-in-law would have no reputation.

Just when he felt that he was in a difficult situation, Su Qingwan, perhaps because she was tired or could not carry him anymore, threw him to the ground!
Lu Jing fell to the ground. Because he was pretending to be unconscious, he had no way to dodge and hit his head against a rock. His waist was also pressed against a sharp stone, and the pain made half of his body numb.

Lu Jing, "..."

He suddenly had an idea and woke up with a muffled groan. The sharp stone had pierced his waist and blood was flowing. Lu Jing thought to himself that his sister-in-law was too cruel.

This is definitely revenge!

He then thought that the blow he had stabbed his sister-in-law was more serious, so he stopped caring about it.

"Sister-in-law?" Lu Jing showed a little doubt at the right time, and deliberately let her see the blood on his hands, trying to make his sister-in-law reflect on her conscience.

When Su Qingwan saw his hands covered in blood, her heart ached slightly, but her voice was indifferent.

"Third brother, are you awake? We fell from a great height, and we are lucky to have only minor injuries."

Lu Jing thought to himself, it was clearly you who caused the injury.

He finally realized that his sister-in-law treated him like a piece of trash.

He was wearing a black robe, and the piece of cloth on his waist was dyed dark. Su Qingwan knew that he was seriously injured. In fact, she noticed that Lu Jing had woken up, so she threw it away on purpose, but she didn't expect to cause such a serious injury.

She cursed Lu Jing inwardly, he deserved it!

If he hadn't pretended to faint to test her, how could she have been angry and hurt him on purpose.

She threw the Embroidered Spring Knife into his arms and said, "Now that you are awake, go on your own. The thunder is intensive, and I am afraid it will rain heavily."

Lu Jing stuck the Embroidered Spring Sword into the ground and propped himself up to stand up. The steel sword had been rubbed violently against the rock wall and had become somewhat deformed, so he was afraid that it would need to be reshaped.

When Lu Jing stood up, he realized that his whole body was in great pain. Not only was his waist injured, but there were also scratches from being scratched by branches when he fell. His sister-in-law's light-colored dress was covered in blood, which was shocking to look at.
