Chapter 90.2 - Very fishy
She stood outside of the teahouse, watching the direction that the two people left in, her mouth curling into a mocking smile.
Following her strange smile, a woman walk out from behind her.
It was the Li Xiangluan who had been standing in the alleyway not too long ago.
“Eldest miss, that woman actually went back. She definitely heard eldest miss’ words, she spat out that blood so it looks like she won’t be alive for long. In the future, there won’t be anyone to fight with eldest miss for your husband.”
Li Xiangluan’s charming face flashed mocking, “Just her? As if she could!”
Li Xiangluan’s charming face flashed mocking, “Just her? As if she could!”
Hmph!
She turned around, slowly walking towards the Mu residence.
The person that she liked, no matter who it was, couldn’t be snatched away!
Lou Qingwu sat on another carriage, her mind flashing back to the blood that Su Sheng spat out with Mu Yunqing and Li Xiangluan’s voices on repeat in her ears.
The fishiness that she felt just grew clearer and clearer, making her heart eel blocked up, she still felt like something was off.
Lan Bai saw her uncomfortableness, lowered her voice, “Master, what happened? Why did you and that Miss Wan’er suddenly rush out?”
Lou Qingwu heard her voice, turning around but didn’t answer, instead, asking, “Lan Bai, do you think a person could change a lot from their outer appearance?”
“Ah, what does master mean?”
“For example, if he really hated someone, hated them to the point where they wished for them to die, would he still wear a rosary bead bracelet in memory of them for years?”
Lan Bai was dumbstruck, “Not unless he was crazy.”
Otherwise, why would someone wear the property of someone they hated?
If it was her, she’d want to throw it away as far as possible.
Lou Qingwu’s brows furrowed, yes, that’s what she found was strange.
Mu Yunqing was so anxious about Su Sheng’s bracelet, but why would he then say something like that?
But the person that she saw was clearly Mu Yunqing.
She’d seen him so many times, the face was exactly the same so how could she have seen wrongly?
Wait?!
Exactly the same?
Lou Qingwu’s face suddenly changed, she sat up and shouted to the driver, “Quickly return to the residence!”
The driver outside heard and immediately lashed his whip.
In a short while, the horse carriage stopped outside of the Lou residence.
But outside of the residence, was another carriage.
Lou Qingwu jumped out of the carriage, bringing Lan Bai with her to the residence.
There, she saw Lou Lianxin who was walking out.
The two people bumped into each other and froze.
Lou Lianxin’s face was shockingly pale and when she saw lou Qingwu, her pupils suddenly shrunk.
Her expression was horrifying, but in the next second, she forced herself to swallow back the anger that was rising up.
Unexpectedly, she gave Lou Qingwu a deep courtesy, respectfully greeting her, “Big sister.”
Lou Qingwu raised a brow, her eyes sweeping at her.

If she didn’t see her nails digging into her palms, she might’ve actually thought that Lou Lianxin had changed her mind.
But if she wanted to play, then she’d accompany her.
“It’s little sister, ah, you’re going ….”
Lou Lianxin lowered her eyes, only revealing a pale white neck, “Little sister isn’t feeling too well these few days so I’m going to go to a Buddhist temple for a few days.”
“That way, ah, then little sister, have a safe trip.”
If it was like usual, she’d definitely say a few more words.

But today was different, she was too anxious to find Thousand Face to answer her questions so she hurried and grabbed Lan Bai to continue forward.
Lou Lianxin turned her head around, silently watching her back as she left.
Her hands to her sides gripped themelves into fists as her maidservant to her side reminded her, “Second miss, madam told me to remember one word, restraint.”
Lou Lianxin glared at her hatefully, sucking in a deep breath before lifting up her head and closing her eyes.

Lou Qingwu, wait for me to come back, you, wait for me!

TL note:
LLX biding her time hmmm.
Leave a comment and follow to see what LQW wants to ask Thousand Face, the master of disguises? xx
Enemies are truly fated to meet on a narrow road. *shrug* let's throw llx out of the picture for a bit. Not much point trying to figure out her scheming till more details arise.
ReplyDeleteLQW's revelation probably means that Mu Yunqing is fake. Which means Li Liangxuan's in cahoots with someone who has the skillset to disguise themselves at a high level to the point that LQW can't instantly recognize that person as being fake. hmm.
I wonder where she met that person? or rather how? Perhaps something related to Mu Yunqing's past? or is does she just have more connections than expected? (to be fair our expectations should be nearly zero since she hasn't appeared in the story prior to this point I believe.)
Hmm... Either way, LQW's on the case so I assume Su Sheng won't get too much of the raw end of the deal, unless she decides not to listen to LQW, which would be a mistake.
Excellent detective work 🕵🏻♀️🕵🏻♀️
DeleteWithout revealing too much, LQW has a few questions for Thousand Face - who's an expert in the art of disguise and possibly knows someone else who's just as good as he is.
However, whether or not they can get a happy ending isn't reliant on LQW at all. Su Sheng and Mu Yunqing were probably destined for an unhappy ending from the beginning, they had the odds stacked against the favour the whole time and it's just going to get more heart breaking 😭😭
askldjslakjadlkjsl now i'm just sad for them. Hopefully they get a better life in their reincarnations :'( or sudden story plot twist that leads to yay for them (but seeing your comment, I assume it won't happen)
DeleteI'm sad for them too and sad whenever I re-read their arc 😔😔
Delete:( Could say more but I think that pretty much sums everything up well.
Delete:(
😭😭
DeleteLXL is too vicious just for a man to disregard another woman's life. I think she will receive her retribution soon.
ReplyDeleteLi Xiangluan's retribution still isn't as bad as what Su Sheng had to go through, but it still destroys her because she loses what she values the most 😤😤
DeleteYup he a fake. Now excited to see about that evil sister of her up to? Thanks
ReplyDeleteWe won't see her little sister for a while now, or at least not until the end of the arc. LQW's used up all of her energy trying to help Su Sheng 😔😫
DeleteThis subplot with Su Sheng is actually getting kinda boring now.
ReplyDeleteIt's mostly draggy because I do half a chapter a day. LQW confronts Li Xiangluan in a few chapters so maybe come back in a few days? 💕💕
DeleteThank you for the chapter~
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading 💗💗
