Chapter 100B: Getting Personally Involved
That’s right. A woman’s purity was of utmost importance. They failed the last time, but that didn’t mean that they would fail again. This time, he would get personally involved. However, he would have to find a man to come, as well as drug Luo Qing Luan before having to catch her in the act. Only then would it have a hundred percent chance of success!
She didn’t believe that Luo Qing Luan would still be able to hide!
……
There were only five more days to the wedding, and the entire of the general’s residence was bustling. Luo Cheng was worried all day about the wedding, and would always come over personally to ask how things were. Madame Luo was even more pleased as she smiled non stop. She was the epitome of happiness, and the entire place was decorated with lanterns.
Luo Qing Luan’s little courtyard was similarly decorated in red. She had been rather peaceful lately as well. If not for the fact that she had just obtained Yuan Xin and Yong An, her two helpers to take over her work, and that they had gotten Nalan Ye to get a few more helpers, she would have been unwilling to waste precious time like this.
However, right now, she was able to rest properly and wait to get married.
“Young Miss, you are about to get married to the prince’s residence. Aren’t you happy?” Dai yue sat by the stool beside her with her little hands supporting her chin. She smiled goofily as she said, “Lord Chu sent many gifts over that day. We’re able to relax knowing that he treats you so well.”
“You’re happy as well?” Luo Qing Luan intentionally stared at her weirdly, teasing, “Is it because you want to be the servant girl who accompanies me over to the Chu residence? Is that why you’re happy?”
“Yeah, I’m happy. Being able to accompany Young Miss in leaving, which servant girl wouldn’t be?” Dai Yue didn’t understand in the least, smiling as she nodded her head honestly.
Smirking, Luo Qing Luan said, “Dai Yue, do you know what it’s like to be a servant girl who follows the bride along? Do you know what you have to do when we head over?”
Dai Yue furrowed her eyebrows, “That… it should be the same as here in the general’s residence? Wouldn’t I still serve you, Young Miss?”
She knew that this clumsy girl wouldn’t get it. Luo Qing Luan hooked her finger and beckoned her closer. When Dai Yue had rushed over, she said a few sentences into her ear before Dai Yue cried out. Her face was red as she waved her hands in a fl.u.s.ter, “Young Miss, Young Miss, this servant doesn’t do that. This servant doesn’t want to accompany the prince… he… he… this servant doesn’t want…”
Seeing that Dai Yue was so fl.u.s.tered that she couldn’t even complete her sentence, Luo Qing Luan burst out laughing, “Just look at you. You’re so afraid. I was messing with you!”
Hesitating, Dai Yue asked carefully, “Really?”
Just now, what the Young Miss had told her that sent her into such a bashful state, was that the accompanying servant girl would not only have to wait upon the Young Miss, she would also have to wait upon her husband. Especially when it was not convenient for her to accompany the Lord to do that… the moment she thought of what might happen, she wanted to faint the moment she heard it.
However, she had accompanied the Young Miss since she was young. She would go wherever Young Miss went. How could something as difficult as this happen?
“Alright, I’ll stop messing with you.” She saw that Dai Yue was so afraid that her face alternated between white and red. Luo Qing Luan regained her original appearance as well and said lightly, “Relax, I am merely marrying into the Chu residence for show. After all, I could not reject it, right? At that time, we will live life like we have in the General’s residence. We’ll do whatever we want, n.o.body will rule over us. Just relax.”
She had long since agreed on the basic rules with Nalan Ye. She would give him the due respect when they were in front of many, pretend to be in love and all that, but in private, she was still herself, but because she was marrying over, she had to cover herself in fetters. Did they actually want her to be a real wife for Nalan Ye? Heh, dream on.
“Second Young Miss…”
Master and servant sat together cracking jokes when a voice was heard from far away. A servant girl carrying a small box of food, walking over. When she saw Luo Qing Luan, she smiled, “Second Young Miss, this servant girl is Chun Yan. Madame Luo has sent me over with bird’s nest soup.”
After saying this, she opened the lid and took out a blue and white porcelain bowl, placing it down in front of Luo Qing Luan. She even took out a small bowl and ladle.
Luo Qing Luan smiled, “What, did Grandmother cook some bird’s nest soup in the kitchen today?”
Chun Yan smiled, “Yes, the madame thought about how Second Young Miss was going to get married and would not be able to see you again, so she was concerned for Second Young Miss. It’s cold, so Second Young Miss, you should drink it while it’s hot. This Servant Girl has to return to the madame to report to her. I will take my leave first.”
“Big Sis, I’ll send you out.” Dai Yue immediately hopped up and followed Chun Yan out.
She looked at the Bird’s Nest soup in front of her and Luo Qing Luan was immediately reminded of Madame Luo. Her heart filled with warmth.
She had only been back for a few days, but Grandmother had always called her over to chat. It was as if she would never be able to see her again after she got married. Although she had not known the Madame for a long time, her impression of her was getting better and better. She could sense that Madame Luo really liked her. She had also liked her mother, who had already pa.s.sed. Whenever they mentioned her mother, she could sense that Madame Luo was truly broken-hearted.
Lifting the bowl, Luo Qing Luan gave a light smile. She might as well try a little of it. However, the moment she opened the lid, her expression changed.
This bowl of bird’s nest soup had an additional ingredient that shouldn’t be inside!
It was clearly sent over by one of Madame Luo’s people, so how could it be like that? Luo Qing Luan rejected the notion immediately. That was impossible.
In the entire residence, the one who hated the most was w.a.n.g Xue Ru. It was also only w.a.n.g Xue Ru who would attack her. Again and again!
Luo Qing Luan suddenly recalled something as she slowly walked to the window and looked outside. She searched for a moment before seeing a silhouette hidden within a cl.u.s.ter of dense bamboo behind the flowerbed. It seemed to be someone watching her. Furthermore… that person was w.a.n.g Xue Ru!
She actually got personally involved?!
