Chapter 80a: Catching the Thief, Recovering the Booty
Right when the door to her room creaked and a soft noise sounded, Luo Qing Luan could hear that someone had entered.
She even thought that it was Dai Yue and didn’t care at all, but immediately, she sensed that something was fishy about the sound of these footsteps. Every time Dai Yue came in, she would gossip while giggling, just like a parakeet who couldn’t keep its mouth shut. But this time, not only was there no talking, even the rhythm of the footsteps were wrong, making her raise her guard.
It absolutely wasn’t Dai Yue!
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, the other person already quickly came in. The beaded curtain’s movement sounded as a man dressed in a blue brocade gown appeared before her.
“Ah? Little beauty……” When the man first saw Luo Qing Luan immersed inside the bath tub, his two eyes shined in surprise. Such a remarkably stunning woman was truly like a G.o.ddess. He immediately laughed mischievously as he cupped his hands. “Greetings young lady. Your countenance is truly as beautiful as the moon……”
“Who are you?” With a cold shout, Luo Qing Luan’s body submerged deeper. Only her head remained above the water’s surface. She even covered the front of her body.
“Beauty, you don’t need to be nervous. I’m the one who the servant from your residence brought here to accompany you. Young Lady is so stunning. You surprisingly still wasted so much effort in wandering outside. In the future, you should just allow me to come keep you company, what do you think? I guarantee that you’ll play very pleasurably, you’ll be in seventh heaven……” The man excitedly rubbed his hands as he approached the bathtub step by step. A pair of eyes stared at Luo Qing Luan fixedly, wishing that his vision was capable of penetrating the water’s surface.
With these few words, Luo Qing Luan already understood.
Who else could it be, but w.a.n.g Xue Ru who looked for this man? The two of them practically already shed all pretenses. Conflicting views could not be reconciled. Moreover, the day before yesterday, she told Luo Cheng of the matter relating to her mother’s death. She’s afraid it’s because of this reason that w.a.n.g Xue Ru, in spite of everything, made a move against her within the General’s Mansion!
There was merely one more month before she was to wed. Was w.a.n.g Xue Ru truly willing to resign herself? Naturally, she first needed to destroy this marriage, after which she could deal with her as she wished.
As long as she could have people see this man together with Luo Qing Luan, especially during this time. When the moment came, not only would Nalan Ye cancel the wedding, even Luo Cheng’s face would lose its splendor. As for herself, she would certainly be accused with the crime of ‘premarital adultery’, wanton by nature, failing to guard her reputation.
One can well imagine the consequences!
The more desperate the situation was, the more cool-headed Luo Qing Luan became.
She didn’t know martial arts. Moreover, she was currently naked and it was inconvenient for her to move about. She couldn’t even casually make noise, because once she yelled out loud, she’s afraid the man would panic even more and might gag her, or maybe an accident might happen if her became frenetic. At that time, those people who were purposefully guarding outside for an opportunity would come in to catch her red-handed. Even with ten mouths, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name.
Time was of the essence, she could only save herself!
“So that’s how it is……” Luo Qing Luan changed her expression. She stared at the man while saying indifferently, “Mister, which one of my servants brought you here? Why don’t you tell me. She’s pretty good at what she does. Tomorrow, I’ll need to properly reward her.”
The man saw Luo Qing Luan smiling, and his soul flew even further away from him. Suddenly, he licked his lips and smilingly replied, “I also don’t know that servant’s name. She was dressed in purple, with a round face and big eyes. She’s also very cute. Young beauty, even the servant beside you is so pretty, indeed, my life will be blessed in the future.”
As he spoke, he approached closer to her. Seeing that there’s two more steps before he reached her, Luo Qing Luan expression shivered. “Don’t come over. Wait until I finish bathing before we continue.”
The man was already no longer able to wait. How could he still wait? His pa.s.sion was already aroused, a fire burning his body as he chuckled. As he took off his clothes, he came over, “I can’t wait any longer. Young beauty, how about the two of us take a bath together now and have me properly serve you……”
Luo Qing Luan’s hand instantly rose out of the water’s surface and found the hairpin at the top of her head keeping her hair together.
She originally was going to delay for a bit, tricking this man to give her her clothes before she made a move. But now, there clearly wasn’t any more time. In a moment of desperation, she also had no other option. Hidden inside the hairpin on her head was an emergency pill, but this pill was a poison which would perforate the intestines. Even G.o.ds wouldn’t be able to save someone dying from this poison.
Since he urgently courted death, then don’t blame her for making a ruthless move!
With a nimble little movement, the pill already arrived at Luo Qing Luan’s hand. She was going to slap it into the man’s mouth while he was speaking, who could’ve imagined……she already started to move closer when the man in front of the bathtub shivered. Then,
his face turned upward before he fell onto the ground.
In an instant, the noise of sleeves moving and window opening simultaneously sounded, so quickly that she was caught off guard. Luo Qing Luan turned her head to look when she saw a shadow fly inside through the window. In the blink of an eye, a man dressed in black already stood in front of her.
“What, this prince merely haven’t seen you for half a month and you already brought a man into your chambers?” Nalan Ye watched her while wearing a smile that’s not a smile. His tall body stood as graceful as jade, his outstanding appearance shone, just like a celestial being. Within his tone of voice, there was teasing, without the slightest trace of anger.
Only now did she realize that Nalan Ye had made a move. Luo Qing Luan subconsciously let out a breath in relief.
This was also good. Save her from having a man die in her room, after which it would also be troublesome to handle the corpse!
Suddenly, in spite of her relaxed frame of mind, she felt a crisis approaching. This man had fainted, but there was an additional Nalan Ye! With her current circ.u.mstances, how could she not be at a disadvantage. What if Nalan Ye did something to her. Could she even poison him to death?
