Chapter 108.1 - How could it be him

Lan Bai’s mind was completely blank and the moment that the wooden rod fell down, she almost seemed to forget where she was.

The only thing left in her eyes was the rapidly descending wooden rod.

Would she really be … unable to walk any more?

But the wooden rod didn’t fall on her legs.

The servant’s arm was held by an even stronger arm as the person who came exerted more strength and twisted his palm inwards.

The servant cried out in pain, “Let, let, let go, ah, it hurts, hurts, hurts!”

But the person didn’t seem to hear and viciously kicked him.

The tall and bulky servant flew a few metres before heavily thudding against the wall and falling to the ground.

His head fell to the side and fainted.

Everyone in the hall’s faces’ changed, Ruan Zhen’s expression was even more shocking as she quickly whipped her head up: “You ….”

But when she saw who it was, her face changed slightly again as her voice quickly changed, “Third, third prince, how … how could it be you?”

Lou Qingwu’s face was dark as she stepped over the doorway to enter.

Her lips pursed into a thin line as her eyes were still on the scene.

Lan Bai was like a piece of meat, pinned to the ground and tied up carelessly, at their mercy.

If that rod had fallen down, she couldn’t even begin to imagine the life changing effect it would have on Lan Bai’s future.

And all of this happened when she just happened to not be at the residence.

This scene almost made her flashback to her past life.

Her dark eyes were like obsidian but in the centre, blood-red seemed to slowly seep through, for some reason, was frightening.

Ruan Zhen accidentally saw this and her back was instantly chilled but she forced herself to calm down.

So what if she found out?

This was all approved by laoye, as if she’d be able to blame her own father?

Even if he was wrong, she was his daughter and he was her father.

So she could only suffer in silence!

Ruan Zhen cockily curled her lips and smiled at Lou Qingwu,as if she was purposely ignoring her.

Her voice was full of concern, “Qingwu, ah, why did you come back so quickly? You even brought the third prince to the ancestral hall, this is so inappropriate. We were just about to punish this disobedient servant, did you want to see for yourself?”

Lou Qingwu grit her teeth but didn’t say anything.

She walked over and pulled down Lan Bai’s legs.

Lan Bai finally felt her legs touch the ground and found that she was perfectly fine.

Her heart finally calmed down.

But afterwards, she realised that her whole body was covered in cold sweat.

She didn’t even want to imagine what she’d do if her master came just a few moments later.

She’d probably become one legged Lan or even no legs Lan.

“Wu ..” Her head swung, full of sweat as she opened her blurry eyes to look at Lou Qingwu.

She called out, comfortingly, but there was still something stuffed in her mouth so she couldn’t speak properly.

Xiahou Qing quickly went forward and wanted to help but Lou Qingwu stopped him. “Third prince, today is a family affair. Just stand to the side.”

Xiahou Qing looked around and shrugged his shoulders, his tall frame standing at the doorway like a door god.

He didn’t speak, but somehow, the atmosphere of the whole hall instantly dampened and felt crushing.

Lou Qufeng got caught by his own daughter and felt that his old face was about to fall.

But then he realised, that wasn’t right.

What was he feeling guilty for?

He viciously slapped the table, “Qingwu, you’re not allowed to let go of that maidservant! To bully her master, she should be harshly punished!”

Lou Qingwu didn’t seem to hear him as she continued to untie Lan Bai.

Almost disappointed it wasn’t LQW who saved Lan Bai.
