Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 60.1

Chapter 60.1 - Failed to prove innocence

“Originally everyone had forgotten and your daughter didn’t want to dampen father’s spirits on your birthday, so I didn’t anything. But second mother shouldn’t have … shouldn’t have said that the time I took to offer sacrifices to mother was actually time spent on scheming little sister. This made me …”

She was choked up and couldn’t speak any more.

Lou Qingwu used her hands to cover her eyes but it didn’t stop her hot tears from falling down, making the wives and daughters on the scene also have wet eye corners.

This was just a bitter and lonely child.

Look at that father, that second mother, how could they force a child like this?

The old official was the first to grow angry but he didn’t want to rebuke them on family affairs, so he could only press down his anger.

“Left prime minister, this originally wasn’t supposed to be said by this old man but your second madam is too not virtuous. To not only not take care of the legitimate daughter left over by your eldest madam is enough already, but to let her own daughter harm and destroy her legitimate older sister like this?”

“And now, to actually slander the legitimate daughter because her own daughter doesn’t know shame, to put all the dirty water on the legitimate daughter to wash clean her own daughter? This kind of poisonous woman, you shouldn’t even want her! This affair, this old man will definitely report to the emperor! I’ll take my leave!”

He viciously threw his sleeve at him before the old imperial censor angrily left without even taking one last look.

Even though his other colleagues weren’t as upright as the old imperial censor, they still looked at Ruan Zhen and Lou Qufeng with eyes full of contempt as they each took their leave.

Not long later, the courtyard was nearly empty with only a few people remaining.

Those few were afraid of offending Lou Qufeng if they left too quickly, so they still stayed for a bit.

Lou Qufeng already couldn’t speak any more as his fists gripped tightly.

He turned around and viciously slapped Ruan Zhen, “Sl*t!”

A perfectly fine birthday banquet was ruined by her.

Originally, secretly getting into bed with someone already made him lose enough face, but who would’ve thought that she’d tried to blame it on Lou Qingwu.

Now that’s fine, they tried to lure the chicken with corn and they lost all of their corn.

Once this spread to the emperor’s ears, his old face would’ve been lost completely.

Ruan Zhen covered her face, embarra.s.sed as she couldn’t say anything.

How could she have thought that this would end up like this?

These few years, everyone had all selected to forget that woman and when she frequently went over to the Ruan residence, she’d be angered by that woman to the point of no return.

So how could she remember her death anniversary?

But today just had to be ruined for some insignificant event like that, to the point where she lost everything.

“Lao, laoye …” She covered her face as Ruan Zhen called out.

“Father, you should probably first take a look at that letter. Second mother said it wasn’t Lianxin little sister who wrote it, but that writing … “

She disappointedly wiped away her remaining tears, tiredly bending her legs in a curtsy.

“If there isn’t anything else, your daughter is a bit tired and will first go to the Leaning Wind Pavilion.”

Without waiting for Lou Qufeng’s reply, she silently turned around.

Her thin silhouette brought a few hints of loneliness and despair.

It made Lou Qufeng feel even more guilty and unable to call out even as he opened his mouth.

Waiting until Lou Qingwu left, Lou Qufeng viciously grabbed the piece of paper.

In a single look, he was so angry that he was about to spit blood, “What is this?”

Ruan Zhen saw and her face suddenly changed.

She had only been worried about Lou Lianxin’s reputation and Lou Lianxin said she hadn’t written it so she …

But this writing was clearly Lian’er’s!

This, how could this happen?

Inside the room, Li Jingsheng’s face was dark and sinister as he watched the whole scene play out.

He suddenly turned around to mockingly snort at her, “Qingwu schemed against you? Ha! Lou Lianxin, this general really underestimated you!”

“Jing, Jingsheng …. Listen to me, listen to me …”

“BANG!”

The door was suddenly pulled open as Li Jingsheng didn’t even want to look at Lou Lianxin any more.

He took big strides as he walked out, looked at Lou Qufeng with his back straight, “Left prime minister, I will clearly investigate what happened last night. I’m currently suspicious that this was completely schemed by the second madam and your daughter. I was already engaged to Lou Lianxin, but this time, for the sake of accusing Lou Qingwu, she really put everything down on the line! I’ll take my leave!”

“Dear nephew, dear nephew …” Lou Qufeng’s face was pale as he called out a few times.
