Chapter 184.2 - Red scorpion voodoo worm

But Lou Qingwu seemed to have thought of something as she called out, “Wait …”

--- Happiness and Fortune Pavilion

Ruan Zhen’s face was dark as she sat in the main hall.

Both of her hands were scalded by last night’s event and were currently bandaged into two buns, it looked extremely comical.

Her close confidante Qiu Chi came from outside and leaned into her ear, whispering, “Madam, I’ve done what you’ve ordered. I found a few nimble servants and wiped the brocade and silk rolls with the juice of the ‘no sons grass’. As long as the eldest miss gifts that to the fourth madam, then …” Qiu Chi paused meaningfully, letting Ruan Zhen’s expression slowly improve.

“Not bad, go and investigate where Lou Qingwu, that sl*t is?”

“Yes!” Qiu Chi received her orders and left.

She returned soon after, the smile on her face was exceptionally vicious, “Madam, the eldest miss really sent over the brocade rolls. Now, she definitely won't’ escape. But this servant doesn’t understand, the emperor also bestowed many pieces of jade, why did you only order me to wipe the juice on the brocade?”

Ruan Zhen sipped the ginseng tea that Qiu Chi gave to her, her smile poisonous, “That Lou Qingwu thinks of herself as clever, she definitely won’t gift anything expensive. After all, Chi Mei’er is from a poorer background, what’s the difference in flaunting the brocade and the jade? It’s not like she’d notice the difference.”

So, she’d only gift the brocade.

That would be appropriate and wouldn’t make Chi Mei’er think too deeply.

“So it’s like that …”

“Prepare. Seeing as the fish has bit the bait, we should reel it in.”

“Yes!”

Lou Qingwu brought Lan Bai and the rolls of brocade to the Fragrant Plum Park where Chi Mei’er was resting.

Lou Qingwu entered and told the servants to place the brocade outside before entering the inner halls.

Chi Mei’er was about to stand up before Lou Qingwu pulled her down and sat next to her.

Chi Mei’er held onto Lou Qingwu’s hand, “Originally, I didn’t want you to come and take up your time but last night, I just felt so unsteady. So I wanted eldest miss to help me and make me feel better, you wouldn’t mind, would you?”

Chi Mei’er was still a bit scared of Lou Qingwu, and what happened last time still scared her.

But if she was willing to save her, it should be fine?

“Of course not. I just forgot to bring my medicinal box. I’ll ask Lan Bai to go and fetch it before I help take your pulse.”

“Good, good!” Chi Mei’er heard her agree and her face lit up.

And at this time, laughter sounded from outside, “Mei’er little sister, laoye and I have come to visit you.”

As she spoke, Ruan Zhen already lifted up the pearl curtain from outside and walked with Lou Qufeng into the inner halls.

Ruan Zhen’s face was beaming outside, she smirked inside.

She coincidentally bumped into Lou Qufeng who had just come from the morning court, this really was the heavens helping her!

See if this time Lou Qingwu can still flip the tables!

Lou Qufeng and Ruan Zhen walked inside and when they saw Lou Qingwu, he froze, “Qingwu’s here too?”

“Yes, father.”

Lou Qingwu stood up, moving to the side, “Yun’er little sister had a song she wanted help with so I came to disturb.”

“Eldest miss really is virtuous,” Ruan Zhen covered her mouth as she laughed.

But she seemed to suddenly think of something as she laughed, “Qingwu, ah, did you bring the brocade that was outside? It really does look good. I don’t know if I can be a bit shameless and ask for two rolls?”

“If second madam likes, Qingwu doesn’t mind. But that’s a gift for the fourth madam, second madam can ask fourth madam.”

Lou Qingwu looked down, hiding a flash of light in her eyes.
