Chapter 23: Luo Qianqian, You are Busted

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Seeing her lady’s reaction, Xiao Yue thought to herself why her lady looked a bit disappointed knowing Luo Yuyan was fine.

“My lady, the Second Lady was so startled and she had several bruises.” replied Xiao Yue.

The First Lady must be in a fury at the moment.

‘I just took my revenge on Luo Qianqian, now I have Luo Yuyan, I must come up with a way to catch them both in one draft, otherwise I won’t have a moment of peace.’

“Ah~ come on Xiao Yue, come help me comb my hair?” asked Luo Qianqian sitting in front of the dressing table. She found the basic hairstyle in this dynasty troublesome, she would like to show up with a ponytail, but she knew that would incur her more trouble, so she asked Xiao Yue for help.

Xiao Yue smiled and walked towards her, “My Lady, it’s my job to wait upon you, of course I will comb your hair.”

“My lady, which hairstyle would you like today?”

“A simple one,” answered Luo Qianqian, she had a hunch that soon she would have visitors, she didn’t have that much time for her hair.

“Are you going to wear a gown that sent by Prince Eighth?”

Luo Qianqian knew nothing about fabric, but she could tell all the gowns sent by Prince Eighth were made of precious fabric.

And Luo Yuyan and Luo Jingxuan wanted to steal all of that, Luo Qianqian decided she was going to flaunt all that treasures in front of them!

“Yes, my Xiao Yue.”

Qingyu Pavilion in the First Lady’s yard.

Prime Minister Luo didn’t go to court due to what happened last night, he was now fuming sitting in a chair, thinking who it could be that hired those assassins.

The First Lady’s heart still fluttering with fear, it was so close that her daughter would get hurt.

Luo Yuyan’s servants were now applying medicine to her, there was a long wound on her arm, looks painful.

“Hongyu… be gentle!”

Her maid Hongyu was the one who saved Luo Yuyan last night.

“Yes, my lady.” replied Hongyu, even though she was being so gentle already.

“This is ridiculous! Who are they? Who sent them?” screamed Prime Minister Luo, he was getting more and more impatient.

Luo Jingxuan who was standing right next to Prime Minister Luo kept silent the whole time, he was baffled why the assassins that he hired to kill Luo Qianqian showed up in his own sister’s room.

He exchanged a look with Luo Yuyan.

‘Brother, we must figure out some other way to finish Luo Qianqian, we must say last night’s assassins was her doing.’

Luo Jingxuan was shocked, could it really be Luo Qianqian who made the assassins betray him?

The assassins were known for being loyal and professional, no way could last night’s drama be a mistake, no way could it be they mistook Luo Yuyan for Luo Qianqian.

Could it be Luo Qianqian? Was Luo Qianqian all right?

Luo Jingxuan also wanted to finish Luo Qianqian, for he was afraid it was going to be a matter of time that the truth would be found out if they kept Luo Qianqian alive.

Thank God Luo Yuyan was fine, otherwise how could he face his mother, how could he forgive himself?

Luo Qianqian, she had to to silent, forever.

“Daddy… I am so afraid…”, Luo Yuyan walked towards Prime Minister Luo and threw herself at him, then she gave way to a storm of weeping, “Daddy, if anything happened to me last night, how could I live in this world for another day?”

The First Lady chimed in, “Poor Yuyan, she has the softest heart in the world, and now there are people who want to hurt her that way. Prime Minister Luo, please find out who sent those assassins for us!”

The First Lady now sounded so stern, it was like she would not take no for an answer.

“Of course I will find it out!” Prime Minister Luo pounded the table.

“There must be a mole in our own house, otherwise how could those assassins break in that easily?” suggested Luo Jingxuan.

Hearing that, Prime Minister Luo frowned, ‘ a mole in our own house?’

No way it was the First Lady, Luo Yuyan was her own daughter.

The Second Concubine? Unlikely. Luo Keer was suffering from the scratching scars, the Second Concubine was busy looking for cure for her, they were both pretty occupied.

Prime Minister Luo knew the women in his mansion all have their own little game, he just pretended he didn’t know.

‘Who could it be?’ thinking of that, Prime Minister Luo patted Luo Yuyan on her head and said with concern, “Yuyan, my daughter, don’t worry, I’ll find out the truth for you.”

Luo Jingxuan was lost in thought, he was checking the assassins, trying to find some clue and put the blame on Luo Qianqian. All of a sudden, a pouch on one assassin drew his attention.

‘What’s that pouch?’

He bent down to have a look, then he screamed, “Father, look what I found!”

Prime Minister Luo turned back and took a glimpse at the thing in Luo Jingxuan’s hand, just one glimpse, his face turned stern, “Great, my good daughter!”

“Prime Minister Luo?”

“Daddy, what is that?” asked Luo Yuyan and the First Lady in unison, they were just playing dumb, they had also recognized what that was.

It was a necklace sent by Prince Eighth the day before, they all had seen it at Luo Pavilion.

“My lady, Yuyan, Jingxuan, let’s go see the necklace’s owner!”

To return to Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian now put on a pink gown made of yamamai silk, it looked splendid on her. She was wearing a simple dangling hairpin to match the pink gown, she looks so pretty.

She and Xiao Yue were about to have some breakfast when they heard the door pounding.
