Chapter 78a: Angrily Rebuke Luo Cheng
Luo Qing Luan’s complexion darkened as she coldly said, “What Father’s Concubine is saying is wrong. What’s wrong with being concerned about my father as his daughter? Tell me, Father’s Concubine, you and father have been together for so many years, yet you haven’t given birth to a son for him. Without a son, the Luo family won’t have any successors. My helping father take a concubine is for the sake of the Luo family sprouting branches and scattering leaves. What’s wrong with that?”
“You you you......” Wang Xue Ru was so angry she nearly couldn’t talk straight.
Even after making a thousand calculations and ten thousand calculations, racking her brains to scheme against this girl, she didn’t expect that she’d been slapped by the opposing party. When was there ever something like a daughter finding a concubine for her father? Moreover, the justification was even honorable and aboveboard. Her not having a son was originally her sore point. Now that it’s been put to words by the girl she loathed the most, she was nearly angry enough to die!
Casting sidelong glances at Nanny Zhang, whose complexion also similarly changed, Luo Qing Luan smiled slightly, “That’s why, Father’s Concubine, I’m truly not free. In a moment, Hongyu will be arriving. I even have to prepare her to wait for Father to come home. As for little matters like learning etiquette, Nalan Ye already said that he doesn’t care for it. As long as I agree to marry him, it’s fine. Therefore Father’s Concubine don’t need to worry on my behalf.”
“Luo, Qing, Luan!” As if every single word was spit out through clenched teeth, Wang Xue Ru’s complexion turned red as she ferociously brushed her sleeve and said, “You dare to find a woman from the brothels to stress me out. You did this on purpose, right? I’m going to beat you to death......”
Seeing her already raising her two hands sinisterly, Luo Qing Luan’s complexion instantly darkened as she responded coldly, “What, Father’s Concubine wants to beat me up?”
Wang Xue Ru replied severely, “You dare to find a concubine for your father and I’ll dare to beat you up!”
“You dare!” Suddenly, Luo Qing Luan raised her voice as a cold demon’s aura radiated from all over her body. She looked at Wang Xue Ru chillingly, “I’m the future Princess of Chu. A little concubine from the General’s Mansion like you actually dares to hit me? You’re truly rebelling!”
As if it was the first cudgel, Wang Xue Ru’s hand raised up high froze stiffly in midair, unable to strike downwards no matter how.
The future Princess of Chu! Princess of Chu!
As if at this time, she finally called to mind Luo Qing Luan’s status, no longer the unfavored Fifth Prince’s fiancee, but rather the respected and glorious favored Prince of Chu, his Lordship’s imperial consort. In merely over a month’s time, Luo Qing Luan will become the majestic Princess of Chu. Not only would this girl receive the respectful address of ‘Princess of Chu’ from numerous women related to imperial court officials, even as her father’s concubine, she would still have to bow her head to this girl as required by customs!
This was status!
Even though her birth daughter Luo Qing Shuang was married to Fifth Prince, Nangong Chen. Moreover, she was even carrying a child, she barely was able to become a side concubine. Last time, when she met Madam Sun, the wife of five cities’ envoy for the military department, she was hindered from speaking due to status. At present, comparing her to Luo Qing Luan is like comparing earth to heaven.
That chilly, cold and aloof pretty face was within reach and appeared so high and lofty displaying an imposing manner. Wang Xue Ru felt an increasing lack of confidence. Her hands couldn’t help but relaxed downward. Her previous fierce and monstrous appearance also vanished accordingly.
“What, Father’s Concubine is not hitting me? Since it’s like that, then I’d still like to wait for Hongyu to come. I won’t keep Father’s Concubine any longer. Take care, I won’t be seeing you out.”
Luo Qing Luan returned to her desk and sat down and immediately added, “I’d like to trouble Father’s Concubine to send away this Nanny Zhang or something. In the future, don’t casually find some random person to come again.”
Finally no longer able to maintain her expression, complexion alternating between red and white, without saying a single word, Wang Xue Ru trembled violently from head to toe and finally left crestfallen under Ziyu’s support.
Returning to Graceful Orchid Pavilion, Wang Xue Ru finally thoroughly gave vent to her stifled anger.
After throwing and breaking four or five teacups in a row, she even took out a plum vase she stored in the treasures pavilion and smashed it, before a bit of anger could be considered to have been barely dissipated. Within her courtyard, Wang Xue Ru let loose curses, but once she recalled Luo Qing Luan’s icily arrogant expression and unrestrained speech her anger came again unbid.
“Side Madam, don’t be angry. Now that the second lady is going to be married to the Prince of Chu, we truly can no longer compete with her even in terms of status.” Ziyu persuaded solemnly and cautiously, “Let’s forget it. Things are very different with the second lady now. What if she caused trouble again next time. Side Madam, you’ll......”
“What, can it be that I’ll have to yield to her?” Wang Xue Ru was utterly discomfited. “But I’m her father’s concubine, father’s concubine! She’s actually so unfilial and dared to talk to me like that? Surprisingly, she even dares to find a minor concubine for her father?”
The more she thought about it, the more unresigned she became. Furthermore, when all was said and done, she truly couldn’t look on helplessly as Luo Qing Luan brought that Hongyu and stuffed her through the door.
She already took note last time. The gaze with which Luo Cheng looked at that woman from the brothels was very ambiguous. He was clearly tempted. That old fart. He’s already old yet his heart wouldn’t grow old. Was it possible that he truly wanted to take in a concubine? Absolutely unacceptable!
With a malevolent expression, her fingers coated with cinnabar red polish clenched tightly. Wang Xue Ru gloomily and coldly muttered, “Damn girl, you truly think that I can’t do anything to you, right? I’m merely your father’s concubine and don’t dare to do anything to you, but Luo Cheng is your father. Even if you become the Princess of Chu, you’ll still have to bow your head in a well-behaved manner in front of Luo Cheng!”
......
After two hours, Luo Cheng returned from imperial court session. He’d just entered the house when he was blocked by Ziyu, who was already guarding the door at an earlier time. She anxiously rushed to face Luo Cheng, “Master, not good. The side madam is ill!”
