Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 108.2

Chapter 108.2 - How could it be him

Lou Qingwu didn’t seem to hear him as she continued to untie Lan Bai.

She quickly helped her up and checked her veins until she confirmed that an ordinary bewildering medicine was the only thing in her body.

Then her face cleared up a bit before taking out a vial from her bosom, pouring out some medicine to pa.s.s to Lan Bai, “Can you swallow?”

Lan Bai’s mouth was a bit sore from being stuffed with cloth but nodded, “Wu, master, don’t worry. I’m fine.”

She took the pill and threw it into her mouth.

Once it melted in her mouth, she felt a clear sweetness that made all of her limbs feel comfortable.

Lou Qingwu’s calm gaze made Lou Qufeng so angry that his chest was heaving up and down, he wanted to angrily point and yell at her but seeing the third prince who had his arms crossed and was leaning against the door, he had to force himself to calm down.

Ugly family laundry can’t be seen by others, and furthermore, the other party was the third prince who held strong military power.

From Lou Qingwu’s first appearance, the fourth madam Chi Mei’er and Lou Yun’er seemed to be like frightened mice, huddled in the corner and pretended they were invisible.

Once Lan Bai’s body seemed to begin to recover, Lou Qingwu then slowly lifted up her head.

She swept her eyes expressionlessly at everyone there.

She clearly had the same face on, but even though it normally made her look easily to bully, for some reason, it now looked frightening and made everyone feel uneasy.

That sort of feeling was like an aura that radiated from her.

It made Chi Mei’er regret listening to the second madam’s words to come here to punish a servant.

It was only a maidservant, so she just had to restrain herself for a bit longer.

But now, the eldest miss caught her in the act.

“That … eldest miss, we were just …”

“Fourth madam.” Lou Qingwu looked at her lazily.

It was only just a light look but it made Chi Mei’er feel as if she’d been frozen on the spot, “Wh-what?”

“We’ll settle our affairs later. Right now, fourth madam, it be best if you stayed quiet.”

Otherwise, she’d really be unable to restrain herself from hitting her.

Her voice was clearly light and airy, but Chi Mei’er could hear the threatening undertones.

She swallowed her saliva, thinking of Lou Lianxin’s ending, she stopped herself from speaking.

If it wasn’t for the second madam promising that the eldest miss definitely wouldn’t find out about it, she definitely wouldn’t have come out today.

She silently shrunk back and tightly held onto the Lou Yun’er in her arms.

“Qingwu, what are you doing? Is this how you speak to my fourth madam? Or are you going to disobey your father for a servant?”

Lou Qufeng heard Lou Qingwu’s careless tone and instantly furrowed his brows, why did he feel like this Qingwu was different to the one he’d always seen?

Lou Qingwu walked two steps towards Lou Qufeng, her eyes clear but her back was upright and almost pressuring.

“Father, who told you she was a servant?”

“And she isn’t?”

“I requested Lan Bai to come here. She was one, never sold to the Lou residence and two, her slave contract isn’t in father’s hands, so how could she be a servant? What was so great that father had to go to such pains to personally mete out private punishment?”

The two words “private punishment” made Lou Qufeng’s face darken.

In Dongyu country, the line between master and servant were clearly defined.

A master could easily punish a servant that had made a mistake.

But without that line, then once private punishment was meted out, that was a heavy offence in Dongyu country.

Lou Qufeng viciously turned towards Ruan Zhen, “Second madam, is Qingwu right? This servant girl wasn’t sold into our Lou residence?”

Ruan Zhen gripped her handkerchief.

In her heart, she yelled at Lou Qingwu a million times.

Originally, her plan was flawless.

She’d already left with the third prince, so why did she have to come back?

Now, they got caught in the act.

But she couldn’t not reply to laoye’s questioning, or otherwise, he’d think that she did it on purpose.

Then in the future, her position in his heart would fall.
