Chapter 22.2 - Distorting the truth
“Outfit, what outfit?”
Lou Lianxin began crying even more piteously.
“She’s wearing my grandfather’s sisters outfit, that year’s Lian imperial concubine, was Xi Palace’s imperial concubine. Later when she died, mother was honouring grandfather’s sister’s memory so she asked someone to retrieve an imperially bestowed soft silvery lily gown.
But, but when legitimate sister saw it, she had to s.n.a.t.c.h it. Who know that she actually dared to wear it today, that … that’s an imperially bestowed object. And she’s wearing an imperial concubine’s outfit, could it be … could it be that she wants to be …”
“That vixen!” Countess of Chaoxia was about to go crazy as she viciously glared daggers at Lou Qingwu, could it be that that vixen wanted to go into the palace to be an imperial concubine?
She wanted to rip off her clothes right now.
Then she’ll see how that sly fox vixen will use her face to seduce the emperor, seduce General Li, and harm Lian’er little sister!
“Lian’er little sister, don’t worry, watch this countess get revenge for you!”
As she finished speaking, she ran towards Lou Qingwu.
Lou Lianxin watched this and satisfied, laughed.
She used her handkerchief to dab at the corner of her eyes, hiding the mocking in her eyes.
Lou Qingwu, ah, Lou Qingwu, let’s see if you can leave the palace unscathed!
From her knowledge of Countess of Chaoxia’s vicious and jealous nature, she knew that even if Lou Qingwu didn’t die, she’d definitely be half dead and paralysed!
Hahahaha!
This was really stress relieving!
Lou Qingwu stepped out of her palanquin and saw Lou Lianxin with the Countess of Chaoxia at the Vermillion Bird gate.
Seeing them two wasn’t strange as in the past lifetime, Countess of Chaoxia was always easily swayed and tricked by only a few words from Lou Lianxin.
She was also fatally sincere and dedicated to her.
It was only afterwards that the countess was forced into a political marriage far away.
Even after her death, the countess wouldn’t know that the person who pushed her over the edge was actually the person she had treated the most sincerely and kindly.
Lou Qingwu looked far away at them, not knowing what Lou Lianxin and Countess of Chaoxia were saying.
The countess stared at her hatefully, her pretty eyes becoming almost round from how hard she was staring and almost about to spit fire.
Actually, it didn’t matter that Lou Qingwu didn’t know what they were saying because she could already guess.
It would probably be about how she bullied Lou Lianxin, how she was poisonous and schemed and harmed her, how she seduced her fiance and how she made her suffer humiliation.
Of course, she definitely mentioned her outfit a few times.
Otherwise, how could she swallow that humiliation of kneeling.
In only a while, the Countess actually did stride towards her.
Lou Qingwu saw Lou Lianxin’s eyes flash mocking from far away and inwardly shook her head.
Ah, little sister, you really were too up yourself.
You should know that there’s a phrase, if you’re too proud, you’ll lose your sense of self.
This was outside the Vermillion Bird gate, and with so many people coming and going, who knows if someone saw her “evil scheme has prevailed” triumphant smile.
If someone did see, it’d be even more fun.
As she was thinking, the Countess was already in front of her.
But what caught Lou Qingwu off guard was that the countess actually strode past her without even looking at her.
This made her even more cautious and wary about the countess’ actions.
After all, according to the countess’ personality, she definitely would listen to Lou Lianxin’s words and seek to plot revenge on her.
And she was right.
When the countess walked past her, her leg swept towards Lou Qingwu.
But Lou Qingwu stood still and the countess didn’t.
The countess fell straight forward but what type of person was she, as if she would let herself get the short end of the stick.
As someone who had practised martial arts from a young age, Countess of Chaoxia very quickly stood up straight.
But when she turned around, she raised her hand to slap Lou Qingwu.
But the slap didn’t hit Lou Qingwu’s face like she hoped because
half way, it was caught by someone else.
