Feng Yege finished a song and placed his hands back.
He lifted up his head to see a dazed Lou Qingwu, his lips unable to help but smile, âDid you see Xiahou Rui today?â
âEn?â Lou Qingwu returned to her senses and only then did she realised that sheâd been staring at him.
She felt a bit uncomfortable.
Finally reacting to what he said, she nodded and then froze, âHow did you know?â
âYou took Su Yiâs painting and Youli sword so you were obviously going to see him. What did he have to say?â
âHe didnât say anything extra, but Lan Bai and the seventh princeâs interactions were quite âharmoniousâ.â
Thinking about Lan Bai and Xiahou Ruiâs mutual hate for each other, Lou Qingwu shook her head.
She didnât tell Lan Bai about his ident.i.ty and because of that, she didnât have to be wary of his ident.i.ty when she interacted with him.
Xiahou Liuyun didnât care for those formalities so he wouldnât care and this way, Lan Bai wouldnât have to feel burdened when she was with him.
She liked seeing a vibrant and active Lan Bai.
This way, sheâd forget about her bloodied past life and the grief that always lurked in the bottom of her eyes.
âLan Bai? The female slave that you just bought?â
When he came back, he heard Shiyi say that she bought a female slave and when they went off to the tea house, Shiyi went to investigate the slaveâs background.
Even though her ident.i.ty was a bit special, she did indeed have a clean background.
If she wanted to keep her, itâd be fine.
âYes, sheâs &h.e.l.lip; very special.â
Lou Qingwu actually wanted to tell Feng Yege about the trust she had in Lan Bai but when she opened her mouth, she didnât know what to say.
Feng Yege knew that her heart held many secrets and if she didnât want to say, he wouldnât force her.
Otherwise, he was scared that his overbearing nature would force her to keep her distance from him.
This possibility, would be impossible for him to bear.
Heâd rather that they kept their current senior-junior relationship, and that was why he tried to hard back then, for them to have this layer of relationship.
It was only this way that she wouldnât keep her distance, despite his ident.i.ty as the Night Prince.
Feng Yege looked at the girl who stood like green bamboo underneath the moonlight, unable to help but sigh inside, when, when would the grief in her eyes disappear?
Lou Qingwu stayed at the his residence for two more days and before the meditative Buddhist temple affair happened, brought Lan Bai back to the Lou residence.
But just as she returned to the Leaning Wind Pavilion, Lou Qufeng had just received news and rushed over.
Behind him, was an equally dark faced Ruan Zhen.
When she saw her, her eyes nearly spit fire.
Lou Qingwu just acted as if she didnât see it and told Lan Bai to boil some tea before personally pa.s.sing it over in front of them.
âFather, second mother, please drink tea.â
Lou Qufeng coldly snorted, still angry about her rejection from two days ago.
âNow you know to come back?â
To actually leave when she said to leave, and to leave for two days?
Sheâd really grown wings, to even go against him!
Lou Qingwu lowered her eyes, hiding the coldness that flashed through her eyes.
She stood to the side, her bright eyes gently glancing over, softly and gently speaking, âThis is your daughterâs house, if I donât come back here, where else can I go?â
Her voice wasnât high, instead, her  soft and sticky brought a small thread of bleakness.
Lou Qufeng froze for  a moment, looking at Lou Qingwuâs gentle and weak profile, that perfectly small face made him suddenly think of her mother.
He thought for a moment, she indeed didnât do anything that was incredibly sinful, nothing worthy of a large punishment.
He was a bit too much.
This affair originally wasnât related to her, and in a way, sheâd suffered harm too.
However, because of Lianâerâs affair, her scandal had spread far and wide.
Even in the palace court, heâd gotten a lot of scathing remarks and mocking comments.
Even if they didnât say it to his face, their meanings were clear and made his old face uncomfortable.
When he came back, he also had to listen to the second madam cry and howl.
He was already annoyed to death so when he just received news that she came back, all of that repressed anger was added up.

TL note:
* rejection from two days ago = when Lou Qufeng asked LQW to take the blame for Lou Lianxin and admit that she schemed for LLX to get into Li Jingshengâs bed.
Deep down, Feng Yegeâs just super insecure and scared that LQWâs going to leave him :(
