Chapter 6: Wanting to Anger Her Again On Purpose
“You……you……” w.a.n.g Xue Ru was so incensed that she found it difficult to speak.
As if she wasn’t the least aware that she did anything wrong, Luo Qing Luan also no longer showed any sign of having a cold, or cough. She slowly got down from her bed and didn’t even glance at w.a.n.g Xue Ru as she faced Dai Yue, “Father’s concubine’s clothes are dirty. She will need to hurry back to change and wash. You also hurry and go do what you need to do, sweep the room properly.”
As she spoke, she even felt along the window ledge. “Look, it’s covered with a layer of dust.”
How could she still not understand her Mistress’ intention? Dai Yue seldom saw the side madam so deflated and was quite happy. Immediately, she picked up the feather duster in the corner and rapidly started to dust everything. She even intentionally dusted in front of w.a.n.g Xue Ru.
“You you you……scram farther away.”
w.a.n.g Xue Ru covered her nose and avoided having the dust get on her, then she glared fiercely at Luo Qing Luan and left gloomily.
Once the sound of footsteps faded into the distance, Dai Yue took a glance towards the doorway, before setting the feather duster down and asking anxiously, “Just now, you teased the side madam like that. What if she had gotten angry and had you beaten? Or if she told on you to the master, bad luck will also come our way.”
[Just that woman……]
Luo Qing Luan curled her lips in disdain. If that woman had dared to do something, it’d be strange if she didn’t stick a few needles into her. As for today, she was let off lightly. Luo Qing Luan still needed to save some strength to take care of her own body.
For three consecutive days, n.o.body came to disturb the crude little courtyard. Luo Qing Luan idled cheerfully, taking advantage of these few days to carefully nurse her health.
Ghost Hand Nine Needles technique was basically her master, the Ghost Doctor’s, best technique, able to bring someone almost dead back to life. As her master’s only disciple, Luo Qing Luan had already learned this technique early on. Furthermore, the young is more nimble than the old, the student out performs the teacher. Presently, using this method to nurse herself is simply like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. In merely three days, she already recovered no small amount.
Her originally somewhat thin face already started to turn rosy, complexion better and better. Her appet.i.te had also increased and she could eat a bit more rice. If this continued, after at most one or two months, she would be able to fully recover.
She removed the needles on her body with a practiced hand. Luo Qing Luan carefully cleaned the needles before putting them back into the wooden box.
She was still a bit regretful. If she had enough money to make an even better quality, even more complete set of silver needles, it would be great. This Ghost Hand Nine Needles method’s results could be elevated to at least another level.
Seeing Luo Qing Luan get down from her bed, Dai Yue already ran over bringing a set of female clothing. Once she finished helping her Mistress dress, she nearly became cross-eyed at the sight.
“My Lady, you’re so beautiful!” Dai Yue said dazedly.
In the past, her Mistress always applied heavy makeup, and under her older sister’s advice, she even wore garish brightly-colored clothes, completely covering up her own natural beauty. If it were not for this, her Mistress probably wouldn’t have landed the bad reputation of being a tasteless woman.
But ever since her Mistress fell into the water, she changed completely. Maybe she sobered up? She became both clever and capable, moreover she even became so beautiful. Even a servant who waited upon her everyday could look at her and be dazed. If Fifth Prince saw her Mistress as she is now, very likely, he’d like her, right?
Admiring her full body white silk brocaded dress, Luo Qing Luan gave a satisfied nod.
Now this was in keeping with her style!
A simple, natural and relaxed style, yet one which magnified and showed off her figure. The dress reached to the ground and arranged itself in silky soft folds similar to clouds. This was precisely the pure white color that she was most fond of.
The fresh and relaxed plain white dress set off her naturally elegant and graceful demeanor even more, despite eyebrows without a trace of eyebrow ink and vermillion lips without a speck of applied lip color. This was indeed the best look for a young fifteen years old young lady, so much better than the ugly, overly made up girl from before.
Looking out the window a couple of times, she noticed today’s weather was not bad. Luo Qing Luan’s mood was quite good. “Dai Yue, let’s go. We’ll go out to play for a bit.”
“Ah, My Lady, you want to leave the mansion?”
“Look at how scared you are. Did I say I wanted to leave the mansion? We’ve been staying indoors these couple of days. I feel a bit bored. Let’s walk around in the garden.” If they were to really go out, she would have to change into a man’s clothes for convenience.
Even with no brains she could figure out that her current appearance, with its pure and refined face, would surely attract trouble.
Only then did Dai Yue relax and accompanied Luo Qing Luan outside. The two of them hadn’t left their courtyard far when they saw Luo Qing Shuang along with Chun Mei leisurely walking towards them.
Seemingly the same as last the time she saw her, Luo Qing Shuang was dressed in a pink dress with lotus embroidery. On her head was an especially dazzling ruby hairpin. Her vermilion lips were moistened with lip cream. She wore a smile, apparently having recovered quite well.
“Um, Younger Sister, have you also recovered from your cold?” As if she completely forgot about falling into the water last time, Luo Qing Shuang looked at her smilingly.
No matter whether she came with good intentions or not, Luo Qing Luan simply did not attach any importance to the matter and returned an indifferent smile to her. “Thank you for your concern, I’m fine.”
“Then I can relax,” Luo Qing Shuang responded softly, “I came to tell you something. Just now, Fifth Prince sent people to our residence to send us some presents.”
“Really?” Luo Qing Luan asked in reply.
Seeing that her sister had restored her previous dazzling, enchanting appearance, Luo Qing Shuang exhausted all of her strength just to control herself from turning hostile. Last time, she wanted her mother to help her vent her anger. The outcome was contrary to expectations as she was teased by Luo Qing Luan instead. How could she be resigned to this outcome?
Today, she deliberately came to find Luo Qing Luan to vent.
Last time, when she saw her and Fifth Prince together, Luo Qing Luan was so upset that she carelessly fell into the lake. She dared to guarantee that Fifth Prince Nangong Chen was indeed Luo Qing Luan’s weakness! As long as she brought up the matter of Fifth Prince again, Luo Qing Luan would certainly expose her original nature and would be beside herself!
[It’s best to straightforwardly anger Luo Qing Luan to death!]
Having decided, Luo Qing Luan pulled out the ruby hairpin from her hair and moved close to face Luo Qing Luan, while speaking regretfully, “Younger Sister, this is the peac.o.c.k gemstone hairpin that Fifth Prince sent his people to deliver. It’s priceless! It’s just that the fifth prince said just now that I look good wearing it, so he already gifted it to me. Younger Sister, don’t be too sad.”
