Chapter 86a: Slap Her For Me
With about half a month to go until her wedding, Luo Qing Luan totally acted like she wasn’t aware she’s going to get married. Each day, she leisurely ate and sleep. After sleeping, she played. During her free time, she wrote little racy romance novels, and drew some erotic ill.u.s.trations. When bored, she looked for Zhangzhi and Songzhi to chat. Whether they conversed openly or discreetly, they were all perceptive and clever.
May weather gradually heated up. If this year was the same as during prior years, her little shabby courtyard would’ve been both damp and dilapidated. This year, though, not only did it look completely new, the Prince of Chu’s mansion even sent people to send over sour plum tea as well as all kinds of other cool treats. Luo Qing Luan tasted them without eating much. She portioned them all and bestowed them to her maids and servants.
Folded papers were displayed on the desk in front of her window. She was drawing.
She was the only person in the room. What she was drawing was naturally the most recent increasing popular erotic ill.u.s.trations. This was her secret. Even Dai Yu was sent outside to guard the door, not allowing anyone to come in as they wished.
Using the finest brush, Luo Qing Luan drew with focused attention. In the blink of an eye, a captivating man appeared on the paper. St.u.r.dy muscles which did not appear too excessive finely and meticulously portrayed a powerful yet beautiful man’s body. Even if it was her, she couldn’t help but recall that night.
That’s right, today’s painting was drawn based on Nalan Ye’s body. It’s just that because the relationship between the two of them was going to change soon, Luo Qing Luan didn’t draw Nalan Ye’s face. Rather, she changed it a little bit. However, even if this was the case, she still could guarantee that this little racy novel with the accompanying ill.u.s.trations was capable of increasing the sales volume by twenty percent. With merely a look, she could tell what kind of selling power it possessed.
Having made no small amount of money recently, Luo Qing Luan was pleased as her writing became more and more interesting.
However, she also didn’t plan on continuing this work for her whole life. These little racy romance novels earned a lot of money, but she couldn’t continue to write them on her own for a lifetime. She needed to think of some other ways of earning money before she could feel rea.s.sured. For something like money, the more the better.
“My Lady, have you heard. They’re talking about it again.” Dai Yue’s voice transmitted from outside the window. This little girl, even though she was outside guarding, she chatted continuously without stopping for hours, as if her mouth was incapable of staying idle. “It seems like the side madam is arguing again with Zhangzhi and Songzhi. They’re being quite noisy.” Slightly pausing her brush, Luo Qing Luan smiled indifferently not caring too much about it.
Since she started to arrange for Luo Cheng to have three additional minor concubines, she already knew that this would be the outcome.
When she found Hongyu at Immortal Dream Tower, she originally wanted to lure Luo Cheng into taking the bait using Hongyu’s reputation and beauty. But afterwards, she felt that Hongyu’s character was really not bad. Moreover, Hongyu also didn’t wish to be at a brothel for her entire life. After learning about her plan, Hongyu voluntarily coordinated to lend her a hand. Since Hongyu wanted to separate herself from this kind of life, she was therefore getting her wish and of course moved with the beat readily.
As for Zhangzhi and Songzhi, they were a result of her asking Nalan Ye to find two people who w.a.n.g Xue Ru could not afford to provoke. When the time came, these several people would be contending with each other like fires vying for the skies. She could just enjoy watching the bustling scene as a spectator while throwing Luo Cheng’s thoughts into disorder at the same time. If w.a.n.g Xue Ru could also be tormented to the point of being half dead, she would be happy.
Luo Qing Luan didn’t say anything, but Dai Yue was excitedly scouting out news and came back after a while. “My Lady, why are you still inside and haven’t come out? They’re saying that the side madam ran crying to the master. The result was that she got a piece of his mind instead. It seems that she’d been shorting Lady Hongyu’s meals, wanting to cause her to have trouble giving birth……”
How’s that possible? Eating a bit less could cause birthing difficulties? Hongyu also didn’t know what to say to Luo Cheng, but there’s still her!
Once she thought about how w.a.n.g Xue Ru had been lectured, Luo Qing Luan became cheerful and asked, “Dai Yue, do you really like hearing these things that much?”
“My Lady, I just don’t like side madam, you know.” Dai Yue felt embarra.s.sed all of a sudden as she bashfully continued, “In the past, she bullied us so much. It’s great, now. She’d been reprimanded by Master. My anger dissolved some hearing about it.”
Indeed she’s such a simple girl, also unafraid that saying these things could be overheard by other people.
“Fine now. You should only observe, but don’t blab. In the future, there’ll be enough for you to watch.” As Luo Qing Luan was writing, she was talking.
This was just the beginning. There’ll be much more in the future. w.a.n.g Xue Ru, that malicious woman. Harmed her mother and also killed her nanny. This enmity most certainly would slowly be settled with interest. She most certainly should be given a taste of her own medicine and more!
Brush meeting the paper neither slowly nor swiftly, another hour pa.s.sed. Luo Qing Luan finally finished drawing for today, then put away the paper and brushes before opening the door.
“My Lady, are you finished with your work?” Dai Yue seemed to be very bored. Once she heard the sound of the door opening, she promptly came over excitedly.
“Let’s go. Let’s go out.” Luo Qing Luan said emotionlessly. Boss Li was still waiting for her latest work. Since she had some time right now, she should take the opportunity to send it over right away. Otherwise, after a few days, she’s really going to get married and wouldn’t have the time.
“You want to leave the house? Sure thing, sure thing.” With mention of going out, she got excited. Dai Yue quickly nodded and gladly followed behind Luo Qing Luan.
But they hadn’t left the house when they ran into a group of maids and servants majestically coming over. They were all unfamiliar and not from the General’s Mansion. Luo Qing Luan was somewhat baffled when she saw that in between them, like a moon surrounded by stars, Luo Qing Shuang sat on a handcart carried on two people’s shoulders while dressed up in her best clothes. They came over with a great impetus.
Luo Qing Luan was slightly dumbfounded. She didn’t hear about Luo Qing Shuang coming home? Why did she come and even with such great fanfare?
