Chapter 59.2 - Disappointed in him
“Official, I didn’t … it’s just that today is laoye’s banquet and that girl Qingwu wasn’t at the banquet, so I was just worried. That’s why I lost my composure. Look at this, this is a piece of paper that was passed to assistant general Li, but Lian’er was by my side the whole time, so how could she have time to write that?”
“This is clearly someone’s scheme for Lian’er to lose her reputation and the only person who has any grudges against her is Qingwu. She’s definitely still holding a grudge from that year’s affairs so … otherwise, where did she go just then? Everyone was at the banquet except for her, so if it wasn’t her, who else was it?
Her cold voice spoke out and everyone’s faces grew strange.
Lou Qufeng was the first to coldly sweep his eyes over everyone and explode angrily, “Qingwu! Speak! Where were you just then?! Were you really just jealous and angry at your little sister, so much that you’d ruin her reputation?!”
Qingwu’s body swayed, she lifted up her head in disbelief as a single tear clung to the corner of her eyes, glistening and clear.
Sadness, grief and disappointment intertwined in her eyes, becoming even more beautiful and pitiful, “Father, even you don’t believe your daughter?”
“What do you have for me to believe in you? It was only you who wasn’t there, so how could you explain yourself?”
Lou Qufeng’s clear bias made everyone angry.
But this was the Lou family’s family affair so they really couldn’t speak out at all.
The only thing that made them curious was that this Lou family’s eldest miss really wasn’t at the banquet at that time.
So this couldn’t not make people suspicious.
But the girl in front of them was so delicate and weak like the most pure snow lotus, not tainted by any of the dirt from the mortal realm.
They truly were unable to believe that she’d be able to do something like that, but why didn’t she explain herself?
Everyone’s eyes turned to Lou Qingwu but she held her head down the whole time.
Her soft and gentle long strands of hair hid her face and only her shoulders were visibly shaking.
The tips of their hearts seemed to have been gripped by something.
Someone couldn’t hold it in anymore and was just about to speak before Ruan Zhen first spoke, forcefully, “Lou Qingwu, are you feeling guilty?”
Lou Qufeng, “Yes, what are you hiding? What did you just go to do?!”
Ruan Zhen was vicious, “You didn’t even participate in your father’s birthday banquet so how can you say that you didn’t scheme to harm your little sister? This kind of poisonous schemes. Everyone, don’t look at how pitiful she’s acting right now. Her heart’s so poisonous, and she’s so young too. Once she gets older, watch how she’ll bully her mother and kill her own father!”
This was clearly Ruan Zhen going overboard but everyone looked at each other, no one dared to speak for Lou Qingwu.
Lou Qufeng believed in Lou Qingwu’s guilt more, so angry that his whole body was shaking, “Evil seed!”
After he spoke, he lifted his hand and was about to slap down …
Lou Qingwu finally lifted up her head, her face washed in tears entered everyone’s eyes.
Her grieving eyes filled with tears made everyone’s hearts soften into mush, as if they could see the grief and disappointment in her eyes.
“Father …”
Lou Qufeng couldn’t make that slap fall on her face.
“Could it be, that you really don’t remember what day it is?”
“What?” Lou Qufeng finally reacted.
His brows furrowed deeply before embarrassed, putting his hand back down.
“What else do you want to say? Today is your father’s birthday banquet, what else day is it?”
The bitter grief in Lou Qingwu’s mouth corner grew increasingly bitter as she lowered her eyes, another sparkling teardrop fell down from her eye.
“Father, did you forget? Apart from today being your birthday, it’s also … mother’s death day.”
Her words fell down and everyone went silent.
In a single moment, the whole courtyard fell into absolute silence.
“Wha, what?!”
Lou Qufeng couldn’t react in half a moment, and when he finally did, his face changed.
The expressions passed by his face quickly.
His original facade was someone who loved deeply.
Once the eldest madam died, he even put up her painting in his study to give everyone the impression that he was the type who remembered old loves and was still crazily in love.
But in all of those years after the eldest madam’s death, apart from her face, he couldn’t remember anything else.
So how could he remember what day was her death day?
But now that Lou Qingwu’s spoken about what happened that year, he immediately looked at his other fellow colleagues.
They all looked at him with complicated expressions.

TL note:
Lou Qingwu: sob sob sob, Lou Lianxin isn't the only one who can act pitiful, sob sob sob
