Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 182.2

Chapter 182.2 - Deep sisterly feelings

But now, at the very last moment, she had taken away Shangguan Yiyun?

“I said, I would help you. Of course, I won’t make you leave with any regrets. After Shangguan Yiyun’s fake death, you can tell the world that you won’t marry for three years after Miss Shangguan’s death. This way, you’ll gain a reputation for being virtuous and valiant. And I believe in three years, it’ll be enough for you to gain what you want. As for the person who will stand by your side in the future, you’ll have to choose them yourself, second prince.”

Xiahou Rui’s face was clearly moved, “You …”

“But no matter who it will be, it won’t be me.” Lou Qingwu interrupted his words, crus.h.i.+ng his last bit of hope.

“Yes, I know.” He lowered his eyes, hiding the gloominess in them, “You … you like Xiahou Qing that much?”

Lou Qingwu stopped, pausing.

Then she spoke ambiguously, “No matter whether or not I like him, you just have to know that I’ll marry him in the end.”

When Lou Qingwu returned to the Lou residence, and walked past the front hall, she accidentally stumbled upon the second madam Ruan Zhen and the fourth madam Chi Mei’er, speaking pleasantly to each other.

The two people spoke and walked in beat together, their faces smiling.

This scene, no matter how she looked at it, was strange.

Chi Mei’er saw Lou Qingwu first, quickly calling her maidservant to support her as she walked towards Lou Qingwu.

“Eldest miss, you came at the right time. I hadn’t found the time to thank you, but now I really have to thank you for saving me last time. If it wasn’t for me, there wouldn’t be today’s Chi Mei’er. For last time, I really have to apologise.”

“What is fourth madam saying? The child in your stomach will be my future brother, of course I’ll have to try my hardest.”

Her eyes fell on the second madam’s virtuous face as she looked smilingly at Ruan Zhen and Chi Mei’er’s seemingly deep sisterly feelings for each other.

Her eyes slightly narrowed, speaking a bit with Chi Mei’er politely before finding an excuse to leave for her Leaning Wind Pavilion.

When she entered the pavilion, Lan Bai was loud and in disbelief, “Master, with how jealous that second madam is, how could she walk together with the fourth madam and so harmoniously? Furthermore, the fourth madam can be so carefree with the second madam by her side? After all, that child is laoye’s, and a huge threat to the second madam.”

Lou Qingwu laughed and looked at Lan Bai.

“If you think it’s strange, you should go and investigate. Go and see what’s happened while we weren’t here.”

She didn’t believe that Chi Mei’er would be so lacking in awareness to actually believe that Ruan Zhen would sincerely treat her well.

To make her let her guard down and be so at ease with her, there had to be an explanation.

Ruan Zhen definitely did something to make her believe that she’d never do anything to harm her and her unborn child.

Lan Bai’s eyes lit up, “Yes, I’ll go now.”

After speaking, she ran out like the wind.

In about an hour, she floated back inside and when she reached Lou Qingwu, spoke with disbelief again.

“Master, you definitely won’t believe it but the second madam actually saved the fourth madam’s life.”

“Oh?” Lou Qingwu blinked, “What happened?”

Lan Bai poured out two cups of tea, one for Lou Qingwu and the other for herself.

She drank it in one whole gulp before continuing.

“In the afternoon, fourth madam Chi Mei’er had been inside for too long so she went outside to take a walk. When she just reached the bridge of the front hall, there was a snake that had suddenly appeared, shocking the fourth madam into jumping. And at that time, a maidservant had somehow accidentally tripped her. Just as it looked as if she’d fall into the water, Ruan Zhen had walked past and saved her. Afterwards, the fourth madam was crying with gratefulness, completely letting her guard down with Ruan Zhen. Master just saw a scene just then.”

Lou Qingwu lifted up a finger, lightly knocking against the table.

Her mouth curled into a smile, Ruan Zhen was clever this time.

“What do you think is happening?”

TL note:  

Whatever it is, Ruan Zhen is not up to anything good.

Like ever.
