Chapter 40.1 - Buying her life
3rd sponsored chapter from Giacomo A, 1 more to go ♡♡♡
“Madam, this … this old servant doesn’t know either.”
The senior servant lowered her voice, “I heard that the people sent by the Huai gang sent all died. Furthermore, an hour ago, the whole Huai gang was completely annihilated by a group f men in black. Madam, this time … it’s afraid that we’ve provoked someone who shouldn’t have been provoked.”
“This … how could this be?”
Ruan Zhen disappointedly lay on the peach-wood chair, her face ashen.
She used all of her savings to buy Lou Qingwu’s life so how could she fail like this?
Who was helping Lou Qingwu? “Do you know who it was?”
“This old servant … doesn’t know.”
She also felt it was strange.
It should’ve been reasonable to assume that because the eldest miss had spent so many years in the country, there would’ve been no way for her have known anyone powerful.
So how could she have?
“I heard that the eldest miss peacefully came back about two hours ago. This news didn’t come to the Propserous Fortune Pavilion because madam said not to disrupt you. I also heard that … it was the Night Prince’s people who sent her home.”
“Night Prince?” Lou Lianxin screeched from the side, “That sl*t Lou Qingwu, how could she know the Night Prince?”
“Shut your mouth!” Ruan Zhen snarled, her eyes vicious. Lou Lianxin was shocked, she had never seen such a terrifying Ruan Zhen.
She was so scared that her brain had gone numb, she opened and closed her mouth, unable to say a word.
Ruan Zhen’s chest heaved hard, her whole head was aching.
The senior servant saw and couldn’t help but say, “Madam, do you think Night Prince was the one who destroyed the Huai gang?”
“There’s no way!” Ruan Zhen opened her mouth to deny.
What type of person was the Night Prince? How could he know Lou Qingwu, that brat!
There must be something wrong?
She stood, her body swaying, “I need to go to visit the Ruan family, now! Hurry! Prepare for it!”
Originally, she’d wanted to let her big brother rest for a few days before visiting them, but now she couldn’t wait.
She needed to quickly find out who was behind Lou Qingwu and who saved her.
She couldn’t let this danger become a tumour, if she didn’t get rid of it, she wouldn’t be able to rest easy!
“But madam, it’s already the middle of the night. If we go straight away, along with that affair, would the Ruan family head …”
“No way! Big brother dotes on me the most, it should be fine!” Furthermore, with that person there, as long as she still has a hold on that secret, big brother can’t let her die alone!
Don’t even say a hundred thousand, even if it was a million gold ingots, big brother would even wreck the whole Ruan family to help her.
Who let … that person be more important than the Ruan family, be even more important to him than life itself?!
The senior servant had no other alternative than to go prepare as Ruan Zhen hurriedly and frantically left.
She didn’t bother with Lou Lianxin at all who stood dazedly, surrounded by mess all around her.
Her eyes slowly became violent and murderous, they didn’t bother with her, didn’t bother with her?!
Good!
If mother didn’t want to bother with her, then she’ll do it herself!
Between her and Lou Qingwu, only one would survive!
And on the other side, Ruan Zhen hurriedly left the residence only to be rejected at the entrance of the Ruan residence.
She resentfully waited outside, but no matter how long she waited, she still didn’t see the Ruan family head.
So if she didn’t see him, how could she leave willingly?
Ruan Zhen sat in the carriage, watching the sun slowly rise as the sky’s colour became the colour of a fish’s underbelly, until finally, she made a hard choice.
As long as it would make big brother less angry, she could only do something.
She narrowed her eyes.
She definitely couldn’t lose the protection of the Ruan family because otherwise, how would she have a position in the Lou residence?
She lifted up the carriage’s curtains as she stepped off the carriage.
She looked at the high doors as she picked up her skirts to stand directly in front of the Ruan residence.
She looked at the vermilion entrance and the stone lions guarding it, she viciously closed her eyes before “pudong”, kneeling on the icy cold ground.

TL note:
The high and mighty Ruan Zhen actually kneeling in front of the Ruan residence? Shocking.
