Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 183.1

Chapter 183.1 - Something happened at the family banquet

“What do you mean?” Lan Bai thought for a bit.

“I just feel like it’s a bit too coincidental. Furthermore, for the second madam to actually save the fourth madam, no matter how I look at it, it’s strange?”

It’d be lucky for her not to purposely push the fourth madam into the water.

“Also, the person closest to the fourth madam should be her personal maidservant right? But for the second madam to have jumped even faster than her … that really is too strange.”

Lou Qingwu laughed, “Then what if Ruan Zhen knew before the fourth madam that she would be in danger?”

After all, if something like that happened, everyone would be frozen in shock so it’d be easy to miss this opportunity.

But if she knew beforehand, she wouldn’t freeze.

Lan Bai stopped, “Master, does that mean the second madam planned it?”

“En.” Lou Qingwu sipped her tea.

It seems like Ruan Zhen had really gone all out this time, to actually know that she should first change Chi Mei’er’s image of herself.

Otherwise, if something happened to Chi Mei’er’s unborn child, the first person that they would be suspicious of would be herself.

But if she saved Chi Mei’er before, then she wouldn’t be the most suspicious person anymore.

After all, if she wanted to harm Chi Mei’er’s baby, why did she save her before?

“Master, then what does the second madam want to do, there’s no reason to do that?”

“There is, why isn’t there a reason? If she wanted to frame someone else as the culprit of causing Chi Mei’er to suffer a miscarriage, then the first thing she had to do is make sure she looks innocent. Lan Bai, go get Thousand Face and ask him to investigate the source of this.”

“Yes.”

Lan Bai quickly left and not long afterwards, Thousand Face came in with the face of an una.s.suming servant from the Lou residence.

When he saw Lou Qingwu, he quickly took off that human face mask, letting himself breathe, “Master, you were looking for me?”

“En. Did you find out what Ye Ji gave to Ruan Zhen?”

“Ah, that … I found out a bit but I haven’t found out the exact details. I bribed Ruan Zhen’s personal maidservant and she searched for a while. But she only found a voodoo worm. As for what it is, she couldn’t find out. But she did say that the maid who takes care of Ruan Zhen before she sleeps, saw the voodoo worm reveal a scorpion-like tail, it was black and the tip was pointy. She accidentally saw it and was rebuked by Ruan Zhen. She was then removed from her post and she’s holds a grudge against Ruan Zhen. So she complained about it to a lot of people.” It was good that he bribed the right person.

“Black, with a pointy scorpion-like tail?” Lou Qingwu’s eyes narrowed before flashing, suddenly thinking of a voodoo worm.

“Master, have you guessed what it is?”

“ … it’s most likely a red scorpion voodoo worm.” Amongst Yuebai clan’s voodoo worms, that was most likely the most similar war.

With a scorpion-like tail and a taste for blood, and something that can cause miscarriages, what else could it be?

“Red scorpion voodoo worm? What is that?” Lan Bai heard that and felt uncomfortable all over.

“It’s poison is a lot smaller than other voodoo worms but it particularly likes the taste of blood. As long as there’s an open wound anywhere on the body, it’ll silently burrow inside. Within twenty four hours, or more accurately, within fourteen and twenty hours, it’ll activate and cause a pregnant woman’s unborn baby to die silently.”

“That poisonous? That’s what the second madam wants to do to the fourth madam?”

“No, it can’t be that simple.” Otherwise, Ruan Zhen would only have to silently place the voodoo worm inside the fourth madam’s body and it’d have nothing to do with her.

So for her to waste so much effort, it’d have to be because she’d thought of a plan to frame her.

So if she declared war, how could she not agree to fight?
