Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Lu Qingfeng locked himself inside the study the next day and refused to have a word with her. Nine was the only one who could enter and leave the room, and even with Su Xiaofei begging the man for help, her husband's assistant was clueless as to what he could do to help the couple.

"I'm sorry, Madam. The Master wished for some time alone." Nine replied when she met him in the hallway. He just stepped out of the study that afternoon after delivering some files to Lu Qingfeng.

He had never seen Lu Qingfeng act like this before. His master wanted him to find any cases of people who were afflicted with the cold poison and find out how Su Xiaofei ended up being poisoned in the first place.

The Zhang sisters would always test Su Xiaofei's food and drinks for poison before handing them to her, but there must be some circumstances when the two weren't able to do it.

"I see." Su Xiaofei's face fell. She didn't expect that Lu Qingfeng would understand her so easily. After all, there was a lot to take into consideration.

"If you'll please excuse me." Nine immediately left, knowing that he couldn't offer anything to ease Su Xiaofei's worries.

However, there was something only he could do, and that was to find out who dared to harm Su Xiaofei, inciting Lu Qingfeng to cause havoc. Nine didn't tell Su Xiaofei how angry Lu Qingfeng was right now, and he'd rather not see her husband at the moment.

Lu Qingfeng wasn't just sulking, but he was also trying to get to the bottom of this problem. The possibility of the antidote being kept by someone was quite high.

"Madam, Miss Xi is here to see you." Zhang Lan informed her of Xi Qian's arrival.

Su Xiaofei hurriedly went downstairs and threw her arms around her best friend and started to weep again.

"Please don't tell me you agree with him too, Qian. Don't leave me too."

Xi Qian led them to take a seat on the couch and held both of Su Xiaofei's hands.

"Lu Qingfeng isn't leaving you, Feifei. He just... just needs some time to figure this out. You know very well that he doesn't like not being in control, whether it's his family business or his personal problems."

Xi Qian knew that it wasn't like he couldn't understand Su Xiaofei, but the logical thing to do to save her life was to end this pregnancy. As much as she wanted Su Xiaofei to live, Xi Qian couldn't simply disregard the unborn child's life. Perhaps letting Lu Qingfeng see what he was trying to get rid of would be able to make him understand.

"Then he'd better figure a way out of this, because there's no way I will allow him to kill our baby for my sake." Su Xiaofei insisted. It seemed to her that her tears wouldn't run dry anytime soon.

"I know you want it, Feifei. Believe me, Lu Qingfeng wants the baby more than anything else, but you have to understand that he cannot risk losing you in the process."

"I can't terminate this pregnancy, Qian. Why can't A-Feng understand that? If I kill this child, I might as well die too. Please convince him not to make me abort it." Su Xiaofei replied, allowing her tears to flow freely.

Xi Qian leaned forward and wrapped her arms around her best friend. She would do anything just anything to help Su Xiaofei live, but she also knew that once her best friend decided on something, it would be impossible to change Su Xiaofei's mind.

"Lu Qingfeng isn't the only one who's afraid to lose you, Feifei. But I'll do my best to protect you and your baby. Give Lu Qingfeng some time. We both know he isn't one to gamble if he cannot assure his wins. Perhaps once we meet Brother Han the next time, he will be able to give us better options." She said once she released Su Xiaofei.

Su Xiaofei nodded, but her mind was still contemplating how she ended up in this situation. When she found out that she was pregnant with Lu Qingfeng's child, she was ecstatic. However, Han Zijun told her that there was a trace of cold poison in her blood.

"Just take it easy, okay? If you are serious about keeping this baby, then I will fight tooth and nail with Lu Qingfeng for you to give birth to it. I don't mind picking up where we stopped." Xi Qian patted her friend's shoulder reassuringly.Follow current s on ɴovelFɪre.net

Su Xiaofei smiled in return, thinking that if she had Xi Qian in her previous life, her best friend wouldn't allow Mo Yuchen to drag her for an abortion.

"Thanks, Qian. I'm happy to know that I'm not alone in this fight."

"Do you mind if I crash in here tonight? I'll just use my old room." Xi Qian asked.

"But what about your studies?" Su Xiaofei questioned her.

Xi Qian had just enrolled into the med school she'd been eyeing for years. Su Xiaofei didn't want to ruin her friend's chances.

"Don't worry about it. I have a month left before the school year starts and I would rather be here to look after you."

Unbeknownst to Su Xiaofei, Xi Qian had been severely traumatized years ago when Su Xiaofei took the stab for Master Ouyang. Since then, she had decided to pursue a career in medicine, while researching the effects and antidote for a cold poison which no one had been able to procure yet. No one even knew how the poison was made.

With Han Zijun's approval, she had volunteered to take care of Su Xiaofei. It would have been easy for the two of them to delay the effects of the cold poison on her body, but now that Su Xiaofei was pregnant, it made things more complicated than it already was. Time was their enemy at this moment.
