Chapter 140.1 - A little bit of betrayal

Lou Qingwu’s eyes fell on the pain and struggle on their faces. “It’s okay if you don’t want to marry him.”

“Ah?” Zhou Tong and Shangguan Yiyun looked at her with surprise, “Miss Lou, you … have a way?”

“Ways are thought up by humans, there is nothing in this world that relies on humans.”

She slowly sat upright, her languid aura became cold.

Lou Qingwu looked at Shangguan Yiyun, “Miss Shangguan, would you really be willing to give up on the fame and glory of the capital as well as your family?”

“No, they aren’t my family. Right now, the eldest madam isn’t my birth mother. She’s just my father’s second wife. My father just listens to her and they don’t listen to me at all. As long as it helps his career, he’d even … he’d even …” Shangguan Yiyun’s tears started to fall again.

Zhou Tong gripped her hands, how could he not know how much pain she’d been suffering these three years.

They’d treated her like a chess piece out to sacrifice.

“It seems like you’re not completely unaware of what’s going on.” Lou Qingwu’s eyes became deep.

The minister of war was Xiahou Qing’s person.

Other people didn’t know but there was no one who knew better than her.

So if the minister of war was the third prince’s person, how could he let her happily marry the second prince?

He’s just sacrificing Shangguan Yiyun to destroy Xiahou Rui’s reputation.

Shangguan Yiyun’s eyes turned cold in a split second.

If marrying the second prince was so good, how could the eldest madam let her marry and not her own daughters?

She wasn’t stupid, she was just used to submitting to them.

But this time, she wanted to try and strive for her own happiness.

Zhou Tong held onto her hands as the two looked into each other’s eyes.

Suddenly, they both kneeled in front of Lou Qingwu, “Miss Lou, please help us. Zhou Tong in the future will become a horse, and a cow to repay you.”

“You don’t have to repay me.” Lou Qingwu looked at the silent Yueji before turning away, “I just hope that you won’t regret this decision in the future.”

“We won’t!”

The two people’s hands were intertwined with each other.

Lou Qingwu’s eyes fell on them as she nodded her head.

“Seeing as that’s what you’ve decided, I’ll help you. But, Zhou Tong, you have to remember to not betray Miss Shangguan, not even a little bit.” She slowly stood up.

She looked coldly at Zhou Tong before seeing fear in his eyes, then she slowly curled her lips upwards, “I definitely have ways to make you want to die.”

“I definitely won’t betray Yun’er ….”

“En, then I’ll look forward to it. First, separate for a few days and then, I’ll give you a perfect Yun’er.”

“Thank you Miss Lou! Thank you Miss Lou!” Zhou Tong and Shangguan Yiyun were overjoyed.

Their hands held together, a hundred years of promise to grow old together.

Lou Qingwu looked dazedly at them before slowly closing her eyes, a bitter smile forming on her lips.

In her mind, another cold face flashed in front of her, his brows curved as his eyes were gentle like water.

In an instant, it changed to another face, a pair of purple eyes filled with confusion, wondering why he couldn’t?

She silently let out a breath, it’s not that he couldn’t, but she … couldn’t.

After sending away Zhou Tong and Shangguan Yiyun, Lou Qingwu’s eyes fell on Yueji, laughing, “This time, thank you for Miss Yueji’s help.”

“Where? Miss Lou’s affairs, when has master not cared about them? With one word from master, Yueji will obviously try her hardest to help.”

“Then tell your master that the next time we work together, I’ll give him 30% of the profits.”

“Miss Lou, delighted to be working with you!” Yueji’s beautiful eyes curved into crescents, charming and alluring, “I believe that when master hears this, he’ll be very happy.”

“I look forward to the next time we work together.”

“Of course.”

TL note:

Became a horse and a cow to repay you - do anything to repay you, like be a servant.
