Instead, she supported the shaking and swaying Su Sheng out of the alleyway and back onto the bustling street.
The people came and went past them, the sunlight was strong as it beat down on them from above.
But the place where Su Sheng gripped her arm was exceptionally cold.
This Su Sheng made her think of herself from previous years, she was just as equally as stupid.
She thought that sheād married the one for herself, but in the end, everything sheād done for Xiahou Qing wasnāt worth even a single pitiful request by Lou Lianxin.
A beautiful woman like jade, but she, was already an old person.
She didnāt know how long sheād walked but Su Sheng had arrived back at the teahouse.
She couldnāt hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood, Lou Qingwuās face changed, āSu Sheng!ā
She pulled her wrist to check, her expression changing to shock.
Her heart sickness that sheād been treating for half a month and had started taking a turn for the better, had suddenly returned to the state it previously was in.
To the point where it was actually worse than it previously was.
She pulled at Su Shengās hand, āFollow me, your bodyās not right, right now.ā
Su Sheng stubbornly pushed away Lou Qingwuās arm, her body swaying as she stepped back.
Her back was against the tea houseās door as she slowly wiped away the blood from her mouth.
Her hollow eyes like holes looked at Lou Qingwu, āMiss Lou, donāt worry about me. I know, this is a heart sickness, it canāt be treated.ā
Even if it could be treated, she didnāt want to be treated.
Her heart was already dead, so how could she continue to live?
It was her own fantastical thinking, thinking that she was still charming enough, that sheād still be able to move that person, to let him love her and make him regret ever hurting her.
But in the end, it was just her pushing herself to h.e.l.l.
-- To find an even further place to sell her to.
āHa ha ha ha ā¦.ā Su Sheng suddenly let out a maniacal laugh but her eyes laughed out tears.
She closed her eyes tightly, hoa.r.s.e sobs coming from her throat, and like a child, slowly slid to the floor.
She laughed and cried, she looked terrifying.
Lou Qingwu crouched down and rubbed her head, āNo matter what, you have to live on.ā
Su Sheng pressed her head down to her knees and shook her head.
People started to gather around them, pointing and nodding.
The two people seemed not to notice, Lou Qingwu tried to resolve the knot in her heart, but she couldnāt even resolve her own issues, so how could she resolve someone elseās?
After a long time, Su Sheng finally slowly stood up.
She wiped away the tears from her eyes, laughing at Lou Qingwu, āMiss Lou, I should be heading back.ā
Lou Qingwu furrowed her brows, āYou still want to go back?ā
āBut your body ā¦ā
āDonāt worry, at least before I die, Iāll find Miss Lou. Mu Yunqing hasnāt even died yet, so how could I die first? Miss Lou, I cherish my life more than you think.ā
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Lou Qingwu to reply, staggered away.
Lan Bai and the other maidservant waited upstairs at the tea house for a long while but still didnāt see the two people come back.
When they went downstairs, they found Lou Qingwu standing by herself, dazed.
She lowered her eyes, hiding her expression as Lan Bai walked over to her, worried, āMaster, whatās wrong? Whereās the other girl?ā
