The mocking in Li Xiangluanâs eyes made Lou Qingwuâs face coldene.
She narrowed her eyes as she looked at her for a few moments before turning away.
She looked at Zhou Chengtian again, âSix years ago, Mu young official at that time wasnât the justice departmentâs young official. Instead, he was engaged to the deceased Su Sheng. Mu Yunqing had agreed that if he had pa.s.sed the imperial examinations, heâd go back and marry her. So Su Sheng waited at Jiangyin for him. It was a pity, that afterwards, when she waited for Mu Yunqing, he instead told her that he hadnât pa.s.sed.â
âYou âŚ.â
Mu Yunqingâs head whipped towards her as his originally empty expression changed as he heard her say that.
Lou Qingwu continued on as if she hadnât heard him.
She slowly spoke, âAfterwards, because of Mu Yunqing, Su Sheng decided to elope but was then kicked out of the family by Su laoye. So they went towards the south, all the way until they went to a very far away small town. When they arrived there âŚâ
When she spoke up to there, Lou Qingwu paused, looking indifferently at the slightly pale Li Xiangluan.
Then she continued, âWhen they arrived there, Mu Yunqing suddenly changed his tune and sold ⌠sold Su Sheng into the largest brothel.â
âYouâre lying!â Mu Yunqingâs face was frighteningly pale, his staggering body slowly stood up as he tried to walk towards Lou Qingwu.
âHow could I sell of Shengâer? How could I? When I pa.s.sed the examinations, I planned on going back to marry her. But she suddenly married someone else. Do you know how I felt when I saw her decisive letter written personally by her, how could I âŚâ
Mu Yunqing gripped his chest, the pain was so much that he felt like he was cracking apart, like thereâd be blood dripping out.
LI Xiangluan wanted to stand in front and help support him but was pushed away by him.
â.... In her letter, she told me that she loved her current husband and hoped that I would help her. So tell me, what should I have done then?â
His loverâs betrayal had nearly broken him, adding onto the right prime ministerâs threats and menacing att.i.tude, using Su Shengâs life as a threat, he could only despairingly accept it all.
But six years later, someone would tell him that he sold off Shengâer âŚ.
How could he do such a thing?
Lou Qingwu didnât seem to have heard Mu Yunqingâs voice because her face didnât change at all.
She just continued to speak, âSu Sheng waited in that brothel for you, for six whole years before escaping. She didnât go back to Jiangyin, but went to the capital. She wanted ⌠to take revenge. She wanted to kill that cheating man, the man that had wrecked her whole life. Afterwards, she succeeded. She succeeded in arousing that cheating manâs interest. But a few days later, her heart softened.
She was bewitched by the cheating manâs warmth and gentleness. But at that time, that cheating man and his lovely wife, appeared as a pair in front of her, saying that theyâd sell her again. Then her heart finally died. That night, she decided to a.s.sa.s.sinate Mu Yunqing.â
She slowly finished as she turned around, looking at the completely dumbstruck Mu Yunqing.
âOfficial Mu, this is the reason why Su Sheng wanted to try to kill you.â
Mu Yunqingâs face paled even more.
He shook his head, covered his head with hands.
He didnât know if heâd really done that or if something wrong had happened.
Seeing this Mu Yunqing who was holding his head in his arms and squatting down, looking as if he was on the verge of breaking down, Lou Qingwu also squatted down.
She calmly looked at him, âOfficial Mu, do you know, why I didnât say you were that cheating man?â
Mu Yunqing froze, but lowered his eyes again.
His eyes were empty like holes.
Lou Qingwu didnât think that heâd be able to answer her so she slowly stood up.
She turned to face the increasingly agitated Li Xiangluan, âBecause, that person ⌠wasnât you.â
âLou Qingwu!â
Li Xiangluan couldnât take it anymore and shouted warningly.
