Chapter 98.2 - Used up her life
Lou Qingwu’s eyes grew deeper, to protect her that well, then this ninth madam’s ident.i.ty must be peculiar.
But she just didn’t know what the relation between Ruan Zhen and this ninth madam was.
And this time, the Ruan family head went to find Ruan Zhen, was it related to the ninth madam?
So if she wanted to find out how Ruan Zhen could force the Ruan family head to give into her needs, time and time again, she’d have to find out this ninth madam’s ident.i.ty.
“Thousand Face, figure out a way to get the ninth madam’s painting, is there a way?”
“That … even if it’s a bit hard, I can still try.”
“En, go then.”
“Yes!”
Right until Thousand Face left did Lou Qingwu then rub her forehead.
She stood up as Lan Bai leaned in closer, “Master, are we going to see Miss Su Sheng?”
“En, remember to bring the medicine box.” The time was about right, if they waited any longer, she was afraid an accident could happen.
“Okay, I’ll go get it now.”
The night deepened as Lou Qingwu and Lan Bai secretly slipped out of the Lou residence.
They arrived at a remote residence on the western outskirts of the capital as they pushed its rusted metal gates.
They walked in, surrounded by darkness in all four directions.
Only Lan Bai’s hand held a lantern that radiated a feeble light.
When they reached the room’s door, Lan Bai pushed open a door and the two people walked inside.
It was still pitch dark, but you could just barely make out a person lying on the bed.
It still wasn’t too clear so Lan Bai went to light up some candles.
The room instantly brightened..
Now it could be seen that the person lying on the bed was Su Sheng, who had been lying on the ground in the justice department’s floor.
She lay flat on the bed, silent and without breath.
Her face was still caked in blood and looked extremely battered.
Lou Qingwu and Lan Bai walked closer, Lou Qingwu took the medicine box that Lan Bai pa.s.sed her.
She opened it, took out a white coloured vial and opened it to take out a small pill.
She bent over, pinching SU Sheng’s chin to force her jaw to open and fed her the pill.
In about ten minutes, the originally lifeless girl suddenly started to breathe in and out slowly.
After half an hour, Su Sheng opened her eyes and saw Lou Qingwu.
Feeling uncomfortable, she closed her eyes and when she adjusted to the light in the room, then she opend her eyes again.
Her eyes were blurry as she looked towards Lou Qingwu.
Lou Qingwu sat to her side and used a wet cloth to wipe away the blood on her face.
The blood stains were wiped away and revealed Su Sheng’s originally beautiful face.
It was just a lot more pale.
“Everything’s done now. Mu Yunqing already believes you’re dead and Li Xiangluan … has been locked up in jail.”
Su Sheng’s eyes then regained a bit of vitality.
Her cracked lips moved slightly before her hoa.r.s.e throat spat out two words, “Thank … you.”
“No need to thank me. This is what I promised you and I always follow through on my promises. But, are you really planning on not telling Mu Yunqing? He seems … extremely upset.”
Thinking about that moment during the day, when Mu Yunqing’s back was bent in despair over her, his black hair was scattered and loose over his face, she’d nearly had the urge to tell him that Su Sheng hadn’t died, it was only a fake death.
But this was Su Sheng’s decision so she respected that.
Su Sheng’s eyes flashed grief.
Lou Qingwu wiped away the single tear that fell from her eye, ‘If you spent more time treating yourself, you probably could live for a lot longer. Why are you giving up?”
Su Sheng didn’t speak for a long time.
Just as Lou Qingwu thought she wouldn’t get a reply, Su Sheng slowly opened her mouth, her voice slow but clear, “Miss Lou … all of the love that I had in this life, has been spent.”
