TFDC Chapter 99.1



Chapter 99.1 - Not stopping until death




Even though she knew that it wasn’t his fault back then, she still did suffer for all of those years, even struggling to live just for revenge.

And Li Xiangluan’s final hit, completely destroyed everything that she had.

So she hated, she was bitter and now her heart only had hatred and nothing else.

When she saw Mu Yunqing again, she could only think about how pitiful her whole life was and it was all because of him that she became that way.

Furthermore, she knew her body and she knew she was going to die soon anyway.

Compared to dying in an ugly and bitter way in front of Mu Yunqing, she’d rather die right now.

At least now, she could use her death as a weapon to take revenge on Li Xiangluan.

Even if she died, Mu Yunqing and Li Xiangluan would never be able to get back together.

She’d suffered so much, so for the rest of Li Xiangluan’s life, she’d also get a taste of that suffering.

Lou Qingwu became completely silent.

She understood Su Sheng’s hatred but she just hoped that she wouldn’t regret it.

After all, to use this method was to destroy her last chance of being able to be with Mu Yunqing.

In the end, she’d suffer but Mu Yunqing … would suffer even more.

From the residence, Lou Qingwu and Lan Bai walked slowly from the residence.

Lan Bai knew that her master was feeling upset but there were some words that she shouldn’t say.

After all, this was Miss Su Sheng’s choice and she chose a path that a lot of other people would’ve taken.

Her whole life was completely destroyed because of one person’s jealousy so she decided to completely destroy everything else for revenge.

On the second day, when Lou Qingwu went back, the residence was empty.

There was only a letter left by Su Sheng.

Miss Lou:

I’m sorry that I couldn’t say goodbye to you personally but I couldn’t wait to leave here. I’m going back to Jiangyin, that is my home ground, so even if I die, I want to die there. I’m just very sorry that I wasn’t able to get the case files, it was all my fault. If there is a second lifetime, I’ll definitely be your horse, your ox to repay the kindness that you gave to me. Don’t worry about me, I’ll find little Bell and she'll accompany me until the end. Last night might be the last time we see each other, goodbye.

-- Su Sheng, end.

She looked at the letter in her hand and for a long time, Lou Qingwu was in a daze

Su Sheng’s letter didn’t mention Mu Yunqing once but she knew it wouldn’t be easy to forget.

“Master, is it time to take out the ashes?”

“En, take them out. Spread news that the corpse was cremated.”

This was the only thing that she could do for her.

At least, she could give Mu Yunqing and Su Sheng’s feelings for each other, closure.

News of the Lou residence’s eldest daughter making a commotion at the justice department, taking the right prime minister’s daughter to court, quickly spread.

It even spread to the emperor’s ears and in anger, ordered a thorough investigation.

This completely dashed the right prime minister Li Miao’s hopes of silently closing the case.

In the end, the three offences were noted and punished for, Li Xiangluan was sentenced to ten years in jail.

The justice department’s Zong Ping was demoted to a right young official, deducted three years’ wages.

So this one case was very quickly and silently closed.

From the day that Mu Yunqing had left the court, he closed himself in the other residence and didn’t take a second step out.

When Li Xiangluan was brought to jail, he didn’t go to see her, but he also didn’t write divorce papers.

This made Li Xiangluan let out a breath of relief, at least, ten years later she’d still be Madam Mu.

Su Sheng had already died so they had a long time left together.

But Li Xiangluan underestimated Mu Yunqing’s hatred, underestimated it by a lot.

He didn’t plan on divorcing her, not out of pity but so that he could force them into a dead situation … until death.

“Master!”
Inside the Leaning Wind Pavilion, three days later, Lan Bai suddenly charged in.

Her facial expression wasn’t right, “Master, something’s happened!”

Lou Qingwu put down her book and stood up, “What happened?”

TL note:

This whole affair just left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. I guess we couldn’t expect too harsh of a punishment for a prime minister’s daughter :(

    1. No, the guilt and despair that he feels towards Su Sheng is too strong. He needs to atone for the rest of his life by living in eternal agony 😭😭

  3. she’s accompany me -> she will

    Hmm... Wonder what this could be about now? I would say he might commit suicide but I don't think that would prevent Li what'sherface from finding another beau and marrying that person...

    Speaking of, killed another person via scheming and there's no death sentence or anything in return. Wonderful laws. What a fair system.

    1. Honestly, even under today's laws, I don't think she'd get the death sentence. She doesn't explicitly tell anyone to kill anyone or kill her personally, she just bribed the guards and told them to 'take good care' of Su Sheng.

      Even lying to her and making her elope with a fake Mu Yunqing, selling her into prostitution, wouldn't warrant the death sentence. She's actually pretty slippery and there's nothing that you could pin on her 100%. Her father being the prime minister, the second highest rank in the court after the emperor, helped too 🤷🏻‍♀️😔😔

    1. Li Xiangluan and Lou Lianxin's abbreviated names are similar 👀

      There's a reason why he doesn't just divorce her - mostly so that she can get false hope, but also because she has to live as Madam Mu only in name and not in reality for the rest of her life. He's kind of like an evil genie. Chapter 99.2 explains why 😭😭
