TFDC Chapter 245.1

 Chapter 245.1 - Not thinking of old feelings

Ruan Zhen looked at Ye Ji, who pretended like it had nothing to do with her yet was obviously waiting for her to continue her performance. 

Thinking about how she could only rely on this niece now, Ruan Zhen gritted her teeth and forced herself to continue, “That, how would I know? Who said the person managing the household was me? I’m just a woman, I still have to listen to Laoye.” 

Ruan Zhen’s reasoning was stretching it a bit. 

After all, when Ruan Zhen was still being favored, she was constantly bragging about how she was the head of the household and how she held all the financial power for the residence. 

At that time, she was immensely proud. 

Coincidentally, one of the noble wives that she bragged to was at the store and instantly snorted at Ruan Zhen, “Oh that’s not right, why do I remember that you said you were the one who managed the household? That even the left prime minister had to report you if he wanted money?” 

Ruan Zhen’s old face instantly went red, “That …” 

Lou Qingwu went on as if it was enough and looked at Shopkeeper Jin. 

Shopkeeper Jin sneakily went to the back of the counter and quietly took out a piece of paper. 

She ordered a person to quietly pass it to Lou Qingwu. 

Lou Qingwu then slowly straightened her body. 

Her dark eyes were sharp, “So if Madam Ruan can’t speak out, then let me help you explain where all that  money went? A few months ago, Madam Ruan, you moved 100,000 silver taels from the Lou residence to the Huai gang, to help you kill someone? Then after one night, the Huai gang was outed and what a coincidence, that evidence is just in my hands. Does Madam Ruan want to see it?” 

Lou Qingwu opened up the piece of paper. “This white paper with black words, ah, it even has Madam Ruan’s fingerprint and signature. I just don’t know if the person who is to be killed, this ‘Lou Qingwu’, is that me?” 

Everyone on the scene suddenly sucked in a deep breath. 

Paying money to kill someone, that was a contemptible crime in Dongyu country and to have that evidence held in someone else’s hand, how stupid could you be. 

Ruan Zhen’s face instantly paled. 

She looked at Lou Qingwu with disbelief, “How … how could you have such a thing?”
