"If you need help, just tell Uncle Ruan, Uncle Ruan will do his best to help you."
"Qingwu thank Patriarch Ruan for his concern." She was afraid she couldn't bear it, "I don't know what Patriarch Ruan just said about helping?"
"this… "
Ruan Xiuren didn't expect Lou Qingwu to bring it up by himself. He originally wanted to mention her mother again, to arouse her nostalgia for her mother, and then mention Mrs. Ninth. Lou Qingwu's words like this disturbed his thoughts instead, Ying Mei frowned, and then stretched out, "Does Qingwu have any arrangements for today?"
"There are no other arrangements." Lou Qingwu lowered her eyes quietly, very well-behaved.
"That's good, that's good, then, how about Uncle Ruan taking you to meet someone?" Ruan Xiuren was relieved, although there have been rumors in Beijing and China recently, but after all, this is just a little girl who hasn't grown up. As long as Ning'er Xiaozhi moves her with emotion and reason, and uses affection to influence her, it will not be difficult for this little girl to let go. As long as the thousand-day drunkenness in Ning'er's body is relieved, he will no longer be threatened by Ruan Zhen.
There was a gleam in the half-closed cold eyes, and then he raised his eyes, gentle and kind, waiting for Lou Qingwu's answer.
Lou Qingwu's beautiful eyes were lowered, and as the cold light flowed, she nodded very slowly: "Okay."
Then Lou Qingwu followed Ruan Xiuren and stood in front of the largest restaurant in Kyoto. Ruan Xiuren led her up to the second floor, and stopped in front of a box. Ruan Xiuren didn't go in, but stood at the door, his cold face forced out a gentle expression. With a smile: "Qingwu, go in by yourself, the person who wants to see you is inside."
Lou Qingwu nodded her head obediently, her beautiful eyes flashed, she lifted the jade bowl lightly, and pushed open the door.
Ruan Xiuren turned around and entered the next room, his hawk eyes were filled with deep light, and he could not see the bottom of his heart.
Lou Qingwu stepped into the room and closed the door smoothly.
Walking a few steps forward, bypassing the bead curtain, I saw a woman sitting with her back facing her, with a slender willow waist and black hair tied up with a jade hairpin. Yingying eyes fell on Lou Qingwu, before she could speak, a drop of tear fell on the back of the white jade hand, "Qingwu..."
With a low murmur, Lou Qingwu froze in place, staring blankly at the beautiful woman in front of her.
The position of the heart seemed to be hit hard by a small drum, but after it was smashed, he still barely controlled the endless sadness welling up from the bottom of his heart, and called out in a daze: "Mother?"
The tears in Madam Nine's eyes fell even more fiercely. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand and stood up, wanting to go forward and hug Lou Qingwu, but she was afraid of disturbing her, so she stood there in a daze, anxious. Then she lowered her eyes, sobbed, and hid her tearful eyes with a veil, "Qingwu, I can't deserve your voice. Over the years, it's my mother who's sorry for you. I've changed my identity, and now I'm the Ninth Lady of Patriarch Ruan. .”
Lou Qingwu tightly clenched the hand hanging by her side, and after a long time, she slowly let go.
Walking up to Mrs. Ninth, patted her on the shoulder lightly, and pulled her to sit down, "How are you doing in Ruan's house all these years?"
"Well, very good. The head of the family is very kind to me. Back then, your father was so kind to me and forced me to do this. Mother had no choice but to do so."
"I know." What hurt her was that she came after all.
Even though she had already planned to save her, her arrival still repaired her heart that was already full of holes. Does it hurt? Already numb.
"Qingwu, mother came here this time to ask you something."
"Oh? What's the matter?" She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head for an instant to land on Mrs. Ninth's thin wrist. After all, her heart softened.
"Mother is sick, and I need to borrow some of your blood, I wonder if you would like it?" Ninth Madam was a little uneasy, holding Lou Qingwu's arm tightly with her hands, her beautiful eyes were shining with water, and she was full of worry.
Lou Qingwu raised her head and looked straight into her eyes. Was she afraid that she would not agree
But how
With a chuckle: "Why don't you want to?"
"That's great..." Ninth Madam let out a breath, her face gentle.
"It's just," Lou Qingwu looked at her deeply, "Mother, do you know the consequences of borrowing my blood?"
"I know." Ninth Madam's mouth curled up, her smile was very similar to Lou Qingwu's, with a big pear dimple on her cheek, she looked extraordinarily sweet, she didn't look old, she only looked like she was in her twenties, and said What he said was extraordinarily serious, leaving no one in the slightest doubt. "It's just borrowing some blood, the owner said it's not dangerous."
"...Really?" The smile on the corner of Lou Qingwu's mouth deepened, and she slowly grasped Mrs. Ninth's catkin, her beautiful eyes were particularly deep: "Mother, I will save you."
Until Lou Qingwu left, Mrs. Ninth did not recover, and her words seemed to be still ringing in her ears.
"save?"
Ninth Madam stared blankly at Ruan Xiuren who walked in, and threw herself into his arms.
"Xiu Ren, do you have something to hide from me? Why did she say 'save' me? Didn't you just borrow some blood?"
"Silly Ning'er, you're overthinking. We didn't tell her why we borrowed blood. How could she know what we're doing? Then, I'm just worried about you." Ruan Xiuren held Mrs. Ninth tightly in his arms, with Ying eyebrows But he frowned, wondering if he was thinking too much, why was the sentence that Lou Qingwu said when he left, so strange
Mrs. Ninth snuggled into his arms, her brows furrowed slightly, "Xiu Ren, is she really my daughter? But why, I don't have the slightest impression?"
"Didn't I tell you? You had a serious illness earlier, and you don't remember anything from the past."
"But... will it really not hurt her?"
"Silly Ning'er," Ruan Xiuren let go of her, sliding his fingertips across her cheeks, his brows and eyes were gentle, "She is your daughter, so she is also connected with your blood? Why would I harm her? Ning'er, don't worry, It’s just borrowing some blood, and nothing will happen. Huh? Be good, don’t you believe me?”
"Believe it, how could you not believe it. Xiuren, it turned out that I was so miserable without amnesia, but now I think about it and I still feel chills all over my body. Fortunately, I met you..."
"You have me now, and I won't let you suffer anymore." Ruan Xiuren hugged Ninth Madam again, a sharp light flashed in Ruan Xiuren's eagle eyes, and then his eyes fell on Ninth Madam and became soft again.
As long as it can save her life, he will do anything else!
When Lou Qingwu left the restaurant, the carriage sent by Lan Bai had already arrived. She got on the carriage, raised the curtain, took a last look at the direction of the second floor, and then slowly let go, covering the flashing indifference in her eyes .
"Let's go." Lou Qingwu breathed out silently, unable to express how she was feeling at the moment, she closed her eyes and let her heart be desolate.
The carriage moved slowly, and when passing the teahouse, it passed a soft sedan chair. When the carriage passed by, the sedan chair stopped in front of the teahouse, and the maid following the sedan chair stepped forward to lift the curtain, and the sedan chair leaned forward , a woman stepped out from the inside, with a graceful figure and gentle eyes, she was the future second princess—Shangguan Yiyun.
