Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good-Chapter 77.2 - Finding Luo Cheng a Concubine
Chapter 77b: Finding Luo Cheng a Concubine
This scene happened too quickly. In the twinkling of an eye the circumstances reversed. Wang Xue Ru was just about to berate her when Luo Qing Luan already stood in front of her with a calm expression. “Father’s Concubine really went a bit overboard. This is my room. You didn’t give notice and just charged inside, even wanting to beat up my servant. Under what justification?”
Having always been waiting for Wang Xue Ru to come looking for trouble, Luo Qing Luan originally even thought that the other would plan meticulously before taking action. Unexpectedly, Wang Xue Ru simply couldn’t wait. Lou Chen
g had barely left when she came knocking. She couldn’t help but sigh at the other’s impatience.
She had been waiting already. Now that Wang Xue Ru rushed to jump into the pit herself, her last name would no longer be ‘Luo’ if she couldn’t make the other suffer bitterly!
Wang Xue Ru had also been restraining her anger because of Hongyu’s matter. At present, she actually came to teach Luo Qing Luan a lesson. Even a matter as small as a sesame seed could be enlarged endlessly. How could she pass by an opportunity she planned so hard to obtain?
With an emotionless expression, assuming an imposing manner of someone from an older generation, Wang Xue Ru said, “Qing Luan, it’s not that I’m purposefully berating your servant. Our General’s Mansion has its rules after all. A servant is a servant, a mistress is a mistress. How can the two positions be confused, sitting together to have a meal?”
After a pause, she smiled slightly. A severely strict light flashed through her eyes. “However, let’s forget about today. In consideration of you, I won’t ask whether that servant was to be beaten or scolded. As a mistress, you could just discipline her yourself. Father’s Concubine came today because of something important. There’s one more month until you’re to be married. This is a big affair, therefore, there can’t be the slightest bit of carelessness. Therefore, Father’s Concubine invited a nanny from the imperial palace, so that she can properly teach you customs and avoid you making a fool of yourself after you marry into the Prince of Chu’s mansion. That wouldn’t be good.”
After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands. Immediately, an old lady dressed in blue entered from outside. Wrinkles covered her entire face and her thin figure. Even though she was all smiles as she looked at Luo Qing Luan, as before, she made people feel unwell. With a glance, one could thoroughly see through the harshness she was hiding.
“Greetings, the second Miss Luo.” The old lady curtsied towards her, grinning from ear to ear. Casting a sidelong glance, Luo Qing Luan didn’t pay any more attention to her. Instead, she was more interested in the way Wang Xue Ru acted first before reporting.
Only an opponent who fought back would be enjoyable!
If Wang Xue Ru could so easily be killed with a slap of her hand, then it truly wouldn’t be worth her effort in thinking of a plan to deal with her. This vicious woman who killed her mother. Even though it was because her own status wasn’t high that she’d never become the main wife, in the end, she was still a schemer.
“Teach me some customs?” Looking at Wang Xue Ru indifferently, Luo Qing Luan had Dai Yue leave, before she opened her mouth to say, “Father’s Concubine, before you invited someone, have you told Father? Can it be that Father’s Concubine feel that I’m not well-behaved and don’t know etiquette?”
Wang Xue Ru smiled very gently and the voice she spoke with was even softened, as if she truly cared about and cherished this stepdaughter of hers. “Qing Luan, look at how far you’ve misunderstood? Father’s Concubine is merely concerned about you, that’s all. You’re getting married to the Prince of Chu, not some ordinary person, especially during this time, there can’t be the slightest bit of a mistake. Otherwise, what if something were to go wrong, you won’t be the only one who will be humiliated, even your father will be involved. The entire General’s Mansion, and even the Prince of Chu’s Mansion may be implicated!”
“Therefore, those etiquette and what not will be properly taught by Nanny Zhang beginning today. Qing Luan, you have to learn conscientiously.”
Her skin deep warm smiling expression made Luo Qing Luan profoundly feel Wang Xue Ru’s hypocritical and vicious intentions. On the surface, it’s for her own good, but with one look, she knew that it was in fact for the sake of messing with her that the woman deliberately invited this Nanny Zhang from who knows where.
This matter of teaching customs was in fact full of tricks. For even something as simple as walking, as long as someone intended to mess with somebody, this Nanny Zhang could have her practice a hundred times, enough walking to make her back and legs painful with cramps! She certainly wasn’t that dumb, to actually consent to learning etiquette.
Therefore, Luo Qing Luan casted a glance at Wang Xue Ru as light as a feather as she stated, emotionlessly, “That won’t do. I’m busy these days. There’s no time.”
Knowing Luo Qing Luan wanted to decline, Wang Xue Ru immediately retorted, “No. I already told your father about this matter of learning customs. Your father also said that you have to learn. That’s why I invited Nanny Zhang. From today onward, you need to learn from Nanny Zhang. From walking, bearing, including embroidery, those feminine arts. Everything needs to be learned.”
“Father’s Concubine, I’m really sorry. I truly don’t have the time to learn these things.”
Luo Qing Luan simply paid her no heed. Instead, she sneered slightly and continued, “In a moment, Hongyu will be coming to visit me. She said that she admires Father greatly and would like to dance and sing for Father here, to cheer him up a bit. I’m thinking that Mother has passed away for such a long time now, while Father’s Concubine is busy. Father has worked so hard. Wouldn’t it be good to give Father a few more concubines to serve him. Hongyu is not bad.”
Eyes suddenly opening wide, Wang Xue Ru sharply yelled in disbelief, “What did you say? Find a concubine for your father? That woman from the brothel?”
She never thought that Luo Qing Luan would actually say these things. As a daughter, not only did she not guard her father for the sake of her deceased mother. On the contrary, she even wants to find concubines for her father and even in the presence of this Father’s Concubine? Wasn’t this clearly the same as slapping her in the face?
Immediately so angry that her face turned red, Wang Xue Ru practically jumped up as she pointed her trembling finger at Luo Qing Luan and said, “Luo Qing Luan, last time, I already felt that something was fishy when you brought that courtesan home. It turns out you’re deliberately looking for a woman to annoy me? You, a sheltered young lady who has yet to marry is actually looking for a concubine for your father? Have you no shame?”
