Madam Ru's face instantly turned pale.
Xiahou Qing looked at her in disbelief, anger and killing intent flashing across his eyes. "Is what Madam Pavilion Master said… true?"
"Of course not!"
Madam Ru retorted, "I…"
Madam Pavilion Master revealed an extremely surprised expression. "Why? So the City Lord doesn't know? My husband is loyal to the City Lord. I thought… he had already told the City Lord everything."
Su Xiaoxiao, who was eavesdropping on the roof, almost gave Madam Pavilion Master a thumbs up.
Brilliant, really brilliant!
Logically speaking, Xiahou Qing should have questioned the Madam Pavilion Master asking, "Since you knew, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Now, there was no question.
Madam Pavilion Master had removed herself cleanly and sold Lou Bufan out.
It was explained with strength: I haven't been afraid of you all these years. I've been giving in to you and cherishing my relationship with you.
