Lou Qingwu got out of the carriage, and another carriage slowly stopped not far from her.
She didn't care about it at first, but when she saw the man getting down from the carriage, she frowned.
Patriarch Ruan
How did he come here
The person who came was Ruan Xiuren, the head of the Ruan family. Ruan Zhen repeatedly persecuted him, and finally made the head of the Ruan family angry and refused to see Ruan Zhen.
But now Patriarch Ruan suddenly appeared in Loufu, is he here to find Ruan Zhen
Master Ruan got out of the carriage and saw Lou Qingwu. When his eyes flicked across her face, he frowned deeply, but then he let go, and there was a little tenderness on his cold face: "Niece Qingwu , what a coincidence."
Lou Qingwu bent her legs, "Qingwu has met Patriarch Ruan. Patriarch Ruan is here to see my father?"
Patriarch Ruan was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what to think of, and his face was a little ugly, "No, Ruan is here this time to see the second lady."
"That's it, Patriarch Ruan, please come in."
"good."
Lou Qingwu went straight back to Yifeng Pavilion, while Patriarch Ruan went to see Lou Qufeng first. Although Patriarch Ruan and Ruan Zhen were brothers and sisters, they were married to the Lou family after all. Yu Li still felt inconvenient to see Ruan Zhen alone . What surprised Lou Qingwu was that Ruan Zhen actually refused to see Patriarch Ruan this time.
This reversed situation made Lou Qingwu extremely curious, what was the reason that made Patriarch Ruan change his mind.
Lou Qingwu asked Qianmian to go to Ruan Mansion to inquire, but found nothing.
I just heard that in the past few days, someone in the Ruan family seemed to be sick, and the doctor was frequently invited to the mansion, but it was impossible to say who was sick.
"Master, this Ruan family is really evil. I have been searching inside for a long time, but I can't find out anything. Ruan Xiuren's garden is alone, and he can't get in at all on weekdays. Those doctors were invited in. There, Ruan Xiuren is definitely not sick, when we saw him that day, he was still alive and well, so who is sick?"
The index finger of Lou Qingwu's right hand was slightly bent, and she lightly clasped the table beside her, her gaze was ups and downs, "Is there anything strange about the Ruan Mansion? It's not just the past few days."
"This..." Qian Mian raised his head and thought about it slowly, then suddenly remembered something, and looked at Lou Qingwu with bright eyes, looking extremely gossipy: "Does the news that Patriarch Ruan favors Ninth Lady alone count?"
"Madam Ninth?"
"Yes, there is a ninth lady in the Ruan family. You can say that Ruan Xiuren dotes on her. Back then, she was carried into the Ruan family in a sedan chair, but Ruan Xiuren didn't dote on her. Since the ninth lady came, the other eight The lady was simply a decoration, the ninth lady even lived directly in the main courtyard of Ruan Xiuren, and those people in the mansion had never seen the ninth lady, except for the close maid of the ninth lady and a few A person who is close to himself, after so many years, not many people know the appearance of the Ninth Madam. Master, do you think this is strange?"
Lou Qingwu's pupils shrank, "Whose lady is the Ninth Lady?"
Speaking of this, Qianmian became even more interested, "That's what makes it even more strange, no one knows where the Ninth Lady came from, and her identity is completely unknown, as if she suddenly appeared from the capital. A few years ago, the other eight wives were jealous and wanted to find fault with the nine wives, but Ruan Xiuren protected them too well and even severely punished the eight wives. From now on, no one dared to mention that Madam Nine."
Lou Qingwu's eyes darkened. With such strict protection, the identity of the Ninth Madam must be suspicious.
I just don't know if Ruan Zhen has anything to do with Mrs. Na Jiu.
And this time Patriarch Ruan came to find Ruan Zhen, was he related to the Ninth Madam
That being the case, if you want to know what Patriarch Ruan and Ruan Zhen are hiding to make Patriarch Ruan compromise with her again and again, you must first know the identity of the Ninth Madam.
"Qianmian, find a way to get the portrait of the Ninth Madam, is there a way?"
"This...Although it is a bit difficult, you can still try it."
"Well, let's do it."
"yes!"
It wasn't until Qian Mian left that Lou Qingwu rubbed the center of her brows, stood up, and Lan Bai approached, "Master, do you want to see Miss Su Sheng?"
"Well, remember to take the medicine box." The time is almost up, if you wait any longer, something may happen.
"Yes, I'll get it now."
In the dim night, Lou Qingwu and Lan Bai quietly left the mansion, and arrived at a remote house in the western suburbs of Kyoto. They pushed open the rusty iron gate and walked in. It was pitch black, only the lantern in Lan Bai's hand gave off a faint glow. When they reached the door, Lan Bai pushed the door open, and the two walked in. It was pitch black all around, and I could only vaguely see a person lying on the bed.
It was too dark to see clearly, Lan Bai walked over and lit the candle, and the room suddenly lit up.
Only then did I see clearly that the person lying in the room was Su Sheng who was in the lobby during the day, lying there silently, with blood stains on his face, looking in a state of embarrassment.
Lou Qingwu and Lan Bai walked over, took the medicine box Lan Bai handed over, opened it, took out a white porcelain bottle, opened it, and poured out a pill inside. He leaned over, pinched Su Sheng's jaw, opened her mouth, and fed it in. After half a stick of incense, the woman who had no breath at all began to breathe slowly. After waiting for another half an hour, Su Sheng opened his eyes and saw Lou Qingwu. He closed his eyes uncomfortably, and then opened his eyes when he got used to the light in the room. He looked at Lou Qingwu blankly. light dance.
Lou Qingwu sat down beside her, and wiped the blood on her face with a wet handkerchief.
The blood stains were wiped off, revealing Su Sheng's original beautiful face.
It's just very pale.
"The matter has been settled. Mu Yunqing has already believed that you are dead, and Li Xiangluan... has been put into the prison."
Only then did Su Sheng's eyes become brighter, his chapped lips moved, and then he hoarsely uttered two words: "... Thank you, thank you."
"You don't have to thank me, this is what I promised you, and I will definitely do it. But, are you really not going to tell Mu Yunqing? He looks... very sad." Thinking of the last moment when I looked back during the day Then, when she saw Mu Yunqing's arched back, her ink hair was scattered and sad, she actually had an impulse to tell him that Su Sheng didn't die, but just suspended animation.
But this is Su Sheng's decision, and she respects her choice.
Sadness flashed across Su Sheng's eyes.
Lou Qingwu wiped away a teardrop from the corner of her eye, "If you take good care of it, you can live for a long time, why give up?"
Su Sheng didn't make a sound for a long time, just when Lou Qingwu thought she wouldn't answer, she spoke slowly, her voice was very slow but clear: "Miss Lou... the love of my life is exhausted."
