Lou Qingwu lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment before she spoke, âBack then, the person she married mightâve been the problem.â
Otherwise, she definitely wouldnât believe that someone would willingly be sold into prost.i.tution.
Furthermore, from how sickness ravaged her body was, it shouldâve been from a few years ago.
Or maybe it could be from the beginning.
But what was her aim in coming to the capital?
Her mind flashed to the scene back in front of the embroidery storeâs shopkeeper, the hatred and despair in her eyes when the shopkeeper spoke to her.
Then, who did she hate? What happened back then to change her to the way she was now?
There was a possibility that getting to the bottom of this would be the way to finding Mu Yunqingâs weakness.
Su Sheng woke up two days later.
Little Bell went and found Lou Qingwu, saying that Su Sheng wanted to thank her.
Lou Qingwu followed Little Bell to Su Shengâs side wing and when she stepped through the doorway, her nose was a.s.saulted with the smells of medicinal herbs.
As she walked through, she picked up the already ready soup on her way and pa.s.sed it to Su Sheng.
The girl was lying against the couch and when she saw Lou Qingwu, struggled to sit up.
âMiss, Miss Lou, I will never forget your favour, even if I lose my teeth to old age. In the next life, Iâll do anything to repay it.â
Lou Qingwu looked at her and lightly sighed.
She watched her finish the soup and then collected the medicinal bowl back, pa.s.sing her a handkerchief on the way.
The girl received it and slowly wiped away the remnants on her mouth.
But suddenly, the girl lifted up the silk blanket covering her body, struggled to get up and knelt in front of Lou Qingwu.
Lou Qingwu furrowed her brows, looked at the girl and bringing a hint of probing, âYou, what are you doing?â
âMiss Lou, please help me.â
âIâll try my hardest to heal your sickness.â
âNo, Iâm not talking about my sickness. Iâm clear about my body, itâs already nearly empty and I wonât have long to live. Even if it can be healed, Iâve already wanted to die since about six years ago.â
The girl lowered her lids, her hands were white from struggling to prop her up.
There was even fine sweat appearing on her brow as her eyes started to redden, and she tried hard to restrain herself from dropping tears.
This was her last chance.
When she woke up and Little Bell told her Lou Qingwuâs ident.i.ty, as well as piecing together what sheâd heard from the capital, she knew that this was her last chance.
If she missed this chance, itâd be too impossible to take revenge.
âIâm begging Miss Lou to help me, no matter it takes, Wanâer will agree to it.â
âWanâer?â Lou Qingwu stepped forward to help her up, helping her up to sit down.
âArenât you Su Sheng?â
The girl heard that name and her body suddenly stiffened.
In half a moment, she laughed bitterly, despairingly, âMiss Lou, you should just call me Wanâer. Su Sheng, six years ago, had already died.â
She had died in a web of lies, forever unable to turn her life around.
She hadnât seen wrongly, this Lou familyâs eldest miss who had just come back to the capital definitely wasnât an ordinary person.
It wasnât a waste of her time to spend so many days waiting around the outside of the Lou residence.
Lou Qingwuâs darkened face was expressionless, only after a while did she open her mouth, âHow do you want me to help you?â
Su Sheng gripped her two hands together, her knuckles so tight that they were about to pop out.
She grit her teeth, âSend me to in front of Mu Yunqing, I want to kill him myself.â
