Lou Qingwu left the wing room and went back to her room. As soon as she walked in, she saw Qianmian's back in the dust, and heard the sound of the door opening. Qianmian turned around, and a face she had never seen before on, but that smile really belonged to Qianmian, "Master, I'm back! Everything has been clarified."
"Oh? How did you check?"
"It is true that Mu Yunqing had a lover in Jiangyin who was married with his fingertips, but it is a pity that before Mu Yunqing had time to return to his hometown when he was in high school, the merchant daughter who was married with his fingertips was already married by her father. When Mu Yunqing went back, she had been married thousands of miles away, and she couldn't get her back. Moreover, I heard that she married in a hurry at that time, so she just found a son who was a businessman from other places and got married."
"A merchant's daughter?" Lou Qingwu's eyebrows twitched for some reason, which was slightly different from what she thought.
"Yes, it is said that they are still famous in the local area."
"..." Lou Qingwu fell silent, something seemed wrong. If the woman in the wing room at this moment is the daughter of a merchant, how could she end up in a place like a brothel? Although the shopkeeper of the embroidery village was harsh and inappropriate, there was one thing that revealed the truth. Even if the woman covered it up again, she came out of that place. After some training, her temperament and facial features were still different. of. Lou Qingwu thought for a while, then asked uncertainly: "What's the name of that merchant's daughter?"
"Su Sheng. The 'sheng' of singing on a moonlit night."
The names match, it can be seen that the word "Sheng" on the rosary worn by Mu Yunqing is indeed Su Sheng's Sheng.
But since she was already married, how could Su Sheng be tossed around in the world
"By the way, master, I also brought back a portrait of Su Sheng. I heard that this Su Sheng is a famous beauty in the local area. I sneaked into the Su residence and spent a lot of effort to get it. There is another thing that is very strange. The only thing that happened was that I sneaked into the Su family this time, and the people in the house never mentioned Su Sheng. Later, I found out from an old housekeeper. I don’t know why. She was kicked out, and she also severed the father-daughter relationship with her."
While talking, Qian Mian spread out the picture scroll he brought back, revealing the woman on the picture scroll, wearing a lavender skirt, playing the flute, with the bamboo forest swaying behind her, almost walking out of the picture. The woman in the painting is extremely beautiful, with just one glance, Lou Qingwu can tell that this is indeed the woman in the wing room, although half of her face is ruined, but the eyebrows and eyes are almost exactly the same except for the expression.
Lou Qingwu looked at the painting and fell silent. Obviously, the woman is Su Sheng, but why she ended up in the brothel is unknown.
"Master, I heard that you brought back a woman?"
"Well, she should be Su Sheng."
"Ah? How is it possible?" Didn't that mean that Su Sheng was already married? How could it appear in Kyoto? Is this Su Sheng really the same person as that Miss Su whom he found out
"It should be her. It's just that she is a little different from what you found out. She probably didn't marry back then, but was sold to a brothel."
"..." Qianmian was startled, looked at the woman in the picture scroll spread out on the side, touched his ears, and after confirming that he had no auditory hallucinations, his expression became extremely subtle, "Why, Will this happen?"
An ignorant young lady was sold into that kind of place, and he could feel the despair and pain just thinking about it.
Lou Qingwu lowered her eyes, and after a few moments of silence, Xu finally said the most likely reason she thought of: "There may be problems with the person she married back then." Otherwise, she would never believe that she would enter the brothel willingly, let alone, Judging from her depressed physical condition, it started a few years ago, perhaps, it started at that time. But what is her purpose of appearing in Kyoto at this time? The despair and deep-seated hatred in her eyes flashed in her mind when she heard those words from the shopkeeper of Xiuzhuang.
So, who is she hating? What happened back then to make her what she is now
Maybe figuring this out has a lot to do with finding Mu Yunqing's weakness.
Su Sheng woke up two days later, Ling Dang found Lou Qingwu, and said that Su Sheng wanted to thank her face to face. Lou Qingwu followed the bell to the wing room where Su Sheng lived, she stepped in, and the room smelled of medicine, she walked over, picked up the soup and medicine that had been prepared, and handed it to Su Sheng.
The woman was leaning on the bed, and when she saw her, she tried to sit up, "Miss Lou, Lou, the grace of saving my life is unforgettable. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely die."
"Drink the medicine first." Lou Qingwu handed the moderately warm soup in front of her. Su Sheng lowered her eyes and brought the medicine bowl over, and took a sip. She might have drank too much soup. It was bitter, but there was no expression at all.
Lou Qingwu looked at her, sighed softly, took the medicine bowl after she finished drinking, and handed her a handkerchief, the woman took it, and slowly wiped the medicine stains at the corners of her mouth.
But suddenly, the woman lifted the brocade quilt covering her body, barely propped herself up, and knelt in front of Lou Qingwu.
Lou Qingwu frowned slightly, looking at the woman, but with a profound insight into people's hearts: "What are you doing?"
"Miss Lou, please help me!"
"Your illness, I will naturally help you with all my heart."
"No, what I'm talking about is not a disease. I know this body very well. It has long been damaged. I can't live long. Even if it can be cured, I have long since wanted to live six years ago." With the strength of her whole body, her joints turned white, and a layer of sweat soon appeared on her forehead. Her eye circles were very red, but she tried not to let herself shed any tears. This is her last chance. When she wakes up, she knows the identity of the woman from Bell. Combined with everything she heard in Kyoto these days, she knows that this is her last chance.
Without this opportunity, it would be even more difficult for her to seek revenge. "Please help me, girl, no matter what the price is, Wan'er is willing."
"Wan'er?" Lou Qingwu stepped forward, supported her, and sat her back in the distance, "Aren't you Su Sheng?"
When the woman heard that address, her body froze and froze. After a long while, she gave a wretched smile: "Miss Lou, you should call me Su Wan'er. Su Sheng died six years ago." , can no longer stand up.
As expected, she was not mistaken, the eldest lady of the Lou family who had just returned to Beijing was indeed not an ordinary person. It's not in vain that she spent so much time waiting outside the Loufu for many days.
Lou Qingwu's face was so silent that no emotion could be seen. After a long time, she said, "How do you want me to help you?"
Su Sheng's hands were extremely thin, with protruding joints, and he gritted his teeth, "Send me to Mu Yunqing, and I will kill him with my own hands."
