Chapter 46.1 - Married someone else
Lou Qingwu’s eyes darkened, “According to my knowledge, you two were lovers back then. But you married someone else first, so why do you hate him? What happened then to make you … “
Lou Qingwu didn’t ask the last part of the question but she knew Su Sheng understood what she was asking.
She also believed that it was her nightmare, her karmic retribution.
But she had to know all of the details before she could decide if it was worth wasting her time and resources.
Su Sheng laughed bitterly, “Miss Lou, it’s not just hatred, I was to tear his skin and bite his bones.”
Her hatred was so strong that her emotions were becoming turbulent, because she was biting so hard, even blood was coming out of her lips.
Her hate filled dark eyes were also frightening but she seemed to not notice how vicious and malevolent she looked.
She slowly took down her face veil, revealing the knife wound that disfigured half of her face, “Miss Lou, do you know how my face became like this?”
Lou Qingwu’s eyes flitted past her face, “It’s … you cut it yourself.”
The wound was too deep, which showed exactly how much she hated and how much she desperately wanted to get out of there.
To a brothel’s madame, Su Sheng’s face was definitely a money making tree.
She definitely wouldn’t bear to part with her, and the people by her side would also suck up to her, they definitely wouldn’t dare to hurt her.
So it could only be herself.
At the same time, it could be seen how much she had been forced.
Su Sheng froze for a moment before bitterly laughing again, “Wan’er didn’t see wrongly, Miss Lou’s mind really is thorough.”
Lou Qingwu was silent and waited for her to continue speaking.
“This was a self-inflicted wound. A few months ago when I knew I was about to die, I secretly bought out Little Bell and gave her some money. Then I disfigured my own face. The brothel’s madame was so angered that she broke my legs and then drove me out. But even then, I was willing, I didn’t want to die in that place. Furthermore, every single day that I haven’t killed that man, I’d die with my eyes open! Miss Lou, do you know who sold me into that place?”
“Who?”
“.... Mu Yunqing! Mu Yunqing, that cruel, unscrupulous love rat!”
“En?” Lou Qingwu was astonished as she lifted up her head, how could that be?
From how Mu Yunqing cherished the string of rosary beads that day, she had considered numerous possibilities.
She’d first thought that it was Li Xiangluan, so maybe she was wrong?
“How can you be so sure? Maybe there’s some kind of misunderstanding, Mu Yunqing seemed to … not have forgotten you.”
Her mind flashed to the outstretched hand on that day, the trembling, unstable hand didn’t seem fake.
“Misunderstanding?” Su Sheng shook her head, her eyes looking straight at her, completely empty and dead.
“There was no misunderstanding. He personally pushed me in. Those people dragged me as I begged him, yelled at him, asked for him save me but his eyes were so emotionless. I was dragged in there by him and at the start, I even thought that it might’ve been a joke. But until … until …”
Tears started to fall from her eyes, but her face was too numb.
Su Sheng sat there dazedly.
These few years, as soon as she closed her eyes, she’d be able to see that year’s affairs.
It was her nightmare.
As she begged and struggled, she was still dragged, step by step into that wretched and evil place.
She, how could she not hate?
“...” Lou Qingwu’s surprise in the bottom of her eyes deepened.
She still felt like there was something wrong but as she saw Su Sheng’s hatred, she lowered her lids.
She didn’t understand Mu Yunqing, so maybe, he was only just regretting his past actions.
Otherwise, after so many years, if he was still thinking of her, why didn’t he go to find her and save her?
That is, if it was him who pushed her into the brothel in the first place.
Back then, she’d believed Xiahou Qing like that too, but what happened in the end?
