Chapter 42A: She Really Didn"t Intend It
The two palace maids behind her immediately rushed forward and was just about to approach Luo Qing Luan when they noticed her expression. A cold ray of light flashed through her eyes, as if a sharp blade was acutely pointing at them. Shivering from head to toes, the two palace maids froze on the spot as their hands hung rigidly in the air. How could they still dare to proceed?
With one glance, two palace maids were subdued. Luo Qing Luan restrained her coldness and restored her normal expression again. Gathering up her two sleeves, she stroked the strand of pearl bracelet on her wrist as a ruthless idea already birthed within her mind.
She wasn"t fond of deliberately causing trouble, but if someone insisted on finding trouble with her, she also wouldn"t casually allow anyone to succeed. No matter who it was, she would properly retaliate in kind and have them know the consequences of provoking her.
"Does the princess mean to say that I may have been careless during today"s event and took away something precious, so you insist on inspecting me, right?" Luo Qing Luan asked indifferently. A dark and gloomy unknown deep meaning already flashed within the depths of her eyes.
"The princess has already stated everything very clearly. You"re deliberately pretending that you didn"t hear her, right?" Li Shuyun immediately retorted calmly.
She had previously heard about matters regarding General Luo"s two daughters. There had always been extremely widespread talk about them within the capital. Even if it were that Luo Qing Shuang who married into Fifth Prince"s Mansion, she"d never took her to be anyone of importance. After she knew that Luo Qing Shuang and the fifth prince was messed with by someone and even shamefully became the subjects of a novel, she felt even more disgusted at their lowliness.
As for this Miss Luo Qing Luan, the main wife"s daughter, her reputation was even worse than her sister ever since she was little. Not only did she like the Fifth Prince, becoming a love-struck fool, she was moreover vicious and even stabbed her older sister in the back. Two sisters like this were truly outrageous. Every time she heard news about them, she always smiled coldly unable to take these girls seriously in the least.
It"s fine to not meet Luo Qing Shuang, yet Luo Qing Luan surprisingly encountered her and even rejected His Highness the Prince of Chu, who she was enamoured with. It was also a wonder how she seduced His Highness the Crown Prince, simply abominable!
If she didn"t ruthlessly teach this Luo Qing Luan a lesson, her status as Duke Wei"s precious daughter would simply be for naught.
"Luo Qing Luan, don"t think about leaving today, unless you"ve been thoroughly searched." Li Shuyun shouted loudly and approached, intending to do the job herself right on the spot.
However, before she reached out, Luo Qing Luan already detained her wrist with a swift movement. She simply didn"t get a chance to react.
Stunned, she even struggled, but was unable to move. Li Shuyun became alarmed. "Let go of me!"
Luo Qing Luan looked on with a smile that"s not a smile, the anger in her heart already replaced with evil delight. This Miss Li wanted to give her a lesson, why can"t she return a tooth for a tooth and sort her out in kind?
Behind a flowering tree in the distance, Crown Prince Nangong Qing and Nalan Ye watched everything that happened, but what"s going through their minds had nothing in common.
"Not good, Third Sister is angry again. I"m afraid this will be harmful to Miss Luo."
His appearance seemed somewhat worried and immediately continued. "Ziqing, we need to go and help Miss Luo, otherwise, I"m afraid she……"
"What are you panicking for." Nalan Ye stood in place, his hands behind his back, not showing the least bit of concern.
How could he not panic!
It was the first time that Nangong Qing"s heart moved for a girl.
The unusual and leisurely zither music seemed as if it still reverberated by his ears. He couldn"t figure it out no matter what. Luo Qing Luan"s zither skill was so excellent and was actually so stylish and forthright, not the least bit like those girls from n.o.ble families he"d met in the past, putting on pretenses like those highborn aristocratic ladies. Now that he witnessed Third Sister looking for trouble with her, how could he not be worried?
He originally thought that Nalan Ye was interested in Luo Qing Luan. Watching Nalan Ye"s icy chilliness, not caring at all about Luo Qing Luan"s predicament, he actually secretly relaxed, yet was also even more worried about Luo Qing Luan at the same time. At once he wanted to advance to help her.
"It"s fine that you don"t go, Ziqing. You can stay here while I go give Third Sister……"
Nangong Qing hadn"t finished his sentence when Nalan Ye already spoke.
Pupils hidden in the depths while he looked out front indifferently, as if he really wanted to see how Nangong Wan"er will deal with Luo Qing Luan. The corners of his mouth raised into an arc as he leisurely spoke. "This Miss Luo…I"m afraid she"s not as weak as you imagine. Having encountered her, I"m afraid the princess won"t be able to prevail."
"How"s that possible. It"s not like you don"t know Third Sister"s temperament. She even dared to break into your prince"s mansion……"
He barely touched upon this subject when Nalan Ye"s cold glance swept over him, as if he was reminded of something he didn"t want to recall. "That"s enough. I"m having you watch, so just watch. I guarantee that you won"t be disappointed."
Unable to decide, Nangong Qing thought about it for quite awhile. Seeing that the situation before them seemed to not have run amok, he finally withdrew his intention of moving forward, thinking to himself, in any case, he"s right here. If Miss Luo was really bullied by Third Sister, it wouldn"t be too late to move forward then, just in time to be the hero saving a damsel in distress.
On Luo Qing Luan"s side, she already released Li Shuyun"s hand. Didn"t expect that she"d be so strong. Li Shuyun looked at the red ring circle around her wrist from being grabbed and couldn"t help but feel indignant. "Princess, there must be a problem with her! She didn"t even dare to let us inspect her. She must be hiding her spoils."
She aimed a meaningful glance at w.a.n.g Xue Ru and continued fiercely. "Maybe her father"s concubine is also carrying something! Princess also shouldn"t let her go!"
"No, no!" How could w.a.n.g Xue Ru have antic.i.p.ated that the fire would reach her own body. She immediately waved her hand in haste. "Princess, this servant certainly don"t dare to steal anything from the palace. I absolutely don"t dare. If this d.a.m.n girl stole something, Princess should just punish her severely, but no matter what, don"t put the blame on our General"s Mansion……"
(*TN: In case you"re wondering, I continued to use "father"s concubine" rather than something like "stepmother", because in the olden days, a concubine did not have the right to be called "mother" by the main wife"s children. It could be said that they called them "maternal aunt".)
