Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 96.1

Chapter 96.1 - Real or fake young official

The mocking in Li Xiangluan’s eyes made Lou Qingwu’s face coldene.

She narrowed her eyes as she looked at her for a few moments before turning away.

She looked at Zhou Chengtian again, “Six years ago, Mu young official at that time wasn’t the justice department’s young official. Instead, he was engaged to the deceased Su Sheng. Mu Yunqing had agreed that if he had passed the imperial examinations, he’d go back and marry her. So Su Sheng waited at Jiangyin for him. It was a pity, that afterwards, when she waited for Mu Yunqing, he instead told her that he hadn’t passed.”

“You ….”

Mu Yunqing’s head whipped towards her as his originally empty expression changed as he heard her say that.

Lou Qingwu continued on as if she hadn’t heard him.

She slowly spoke, “Afterwards, because of Mu Yunqing, Su Sheng decided to elope but was then kicked out of the family by Su laoye. So they went towards the south, all the way until they went to a very far away small town. When they arrived there …”

When she spoke up to there, Lou Qingwu paused, looking indifferently at the slightly pale Li Xiangluan.

Then she continued, “When they arrived there, Mu Yunqing suddenly changed his tune and sold … sold Su Sheng into the largest brothel.”

“You’re lying!” Mu Yunqing’s face was frighteningly pale, his staggering body slowly stood up as he tried to walk towards Lou Qingwu.

“How could I sell of Sheng’er? How could I? When I passed the examinations, I planned on going back to marry her. But she suddenly married someone else. Do you know how I felt when I saw her decisive letter written personally by her, how could I …”

Mu Yunqing gripped his chest, the pain was so much that he felt like he was cracking apart, like there’d be blood dripping out.

LI Xiangluan wanted to stand in front and help support him but was pushed away by him.

“.... In her letter, she told me that she loved her current husband and hoped that I would help her. So tell me, what should I have done then?”

His lover’s betrayal had nearly broken him, adding onto the right prime minister’s threats and menacing attitude, using Su Sheng’s life as a threat, he could only despairingly accept it all.

But six years later, someone would tell him that he sold off Sheng’er ….

How could he do such a thing?

Lou Qingwu didn’t seem to have heard Mu Yunqing’s voice because her face didn’t change at all.

She just continued to speak, “Su Sheng waited in that brothel for you, for six whole years before escaping. She didn’t go back to Jiangyin, but went to the capital. She wanted … to take revenge. She wanted to kill that cheating man, the man that had wrecked her whole life. Afterwards, she succeeded. She succeeded in arousing that cheating man’s interest. But a few days later, her heart softened.

She was bewitched by the cheating man’s warmth and gentleness. But at that time, that cheating man and his lovely wife, appeared as a pair in front of her, saying that they’d sell her again. Then her heart finally died. That night, she decided to assassinate Mu Yunqing.”

She slowly finished as she turned around, looking at the completely dumbstruck Mu Yunqing.

“Official Mu, this is the reason why Su Sheng wanted to try to kill you.”

Mu Yunqing’s face paled even more.

He shook his head, covered his head with hands.

He didn’t know if he’d really done that or if something wrong had happened.

Seeing this Mu Yunqing who was holding his head in his arms and squatting down, looking as if he was on the verge of breaking down, Lou Qingwu also squatted down.

She calmly looked at him, “Official Mu, do you know, why I didn’t say you were that cheating man?”

Mu Yunqing froze, but lowered his eyes again.

His eyes were empty like holes.

Lou Qingwu didn’t think that he’d be able to answer her so she slowly stood up.

She turned to face the increasingly agitated Li Xiangluan, “Because, that person … wasn’t you.”

“Lou Qingwu!”

Li Xiangluan couldn’t take it anymore and shouted warningly.
