Chapter 43: When Trouble Knocks on the Door

Translator: Sissy That Walk

“Still in bed.”

What a lucky girl.

None of them got any sleep last night, and look at Luo Qianqian now, she was still sound asleep.

Long gone were the days when she woke up at the break of the day.

The First Lady shot a servant a look, “Go, go attend to the Fourth Lady’s getting up.”

She emphasized the work “attend”.

“Woof woof!” puppy barked at them as if it had sensed their ill intentions.

The First Lady was pestered by the barking, she kicked the puppy and cursed, “Such a filthy creature, just like your owner.”

Xiao Yue buried her head deeper.

She knew her words carried little weight, she picked herself up from the ground and ran towards Luo Qianqian’s room, “My lady, wake up, my lady, Madam is here.”

Xiao Yue knew she would try her best to stop those servants coming to Luo Qianqian’s room, her lady was still in bed, how could some servants enter a lady’s room? Her lady’s good reputation would do down the drain if that really happened.

How cold-hearted the madam was!

Cold-hearted? No, madam didn’t even have a heart, she was merely cold!

Feng Qing was observing what was going on, but he was in no rush to get out of the room and fight them, because…

He knew it was not Her Highness who was in bed… …

Xiao Yue of course couldn’t stop a group of servants entering Luo Qianqian’s room, they violently pushed open the door and entered.

“You can’t do this, a distinction should be made between males and females!” shouted Xiao Yue.

The First Lady rolled her eyes and ordered, “Get in.”

Reputation? A filthy girl like Luo Qianqian?

“My lady… no… my lady…”, Xiao Yue followed them into the room.

The room was still silent, the “person” in bed was still very quiet.

The First Lady was taking the lead, and she was followed by Luo Yuyan and Luo Keer.

“You are having a good sleep, aren’t you?” screamed The First Lady and she pulled the blanket away.

The next second!

“Oh My God!” deafening screaming filled the room.

Everyone turned pale seeing the scene on that bed.

Dead cobras and blood were all over the bed, horrific! Some of the cobras’ tongues were still stuck out, as if you could still hear them hissing.

The smell of blood soon made everyone nauseous, especially The First Lady who pulled away the blanket.

She took a few steps back subconsciously and started to vomit.

No trace of Luo Qianqian could be seen on that bed!

Luo Qianqian didn’t clear those dead cobra bodies last night, she transferred them to bed because she had totally seen this coming. But what she didn’t expect was The First Lady’s reaction.

She was still vomiting, she was in great shock.

And so was her daughter.

“Mom—”, Luo Yuyan walked to The First Lady with concern, but the next second she gave way to vomiting too.

Luo Keer and the Second Concubine were covering their noses with disgust, she was so glad that she and her mom were not taking the lead and pulled away the blanket.

“Aiya— my good sister, are you all right?” gloated the Second Concubine with a subtle smile.

At the same time her heart sank, Luo Qianqian was still alive!

Did she killed all those cobras? Since when she became such a strong martial arts cultivator?

“Madam and ladies, please walk out of the room and get some air first.” suggested the servants.

A white figure showed up leaning on the door when they were about to walk out.

“So many guests, what are you all doing in my room, may I ask?” asked the girl cheerfully, meanwhile her eyes travelled back and forth on the ladies.

This girl was in a simple white gown with plain flowers embroideries on the sleeves, her hair was in a Floating Cloud hairdo with a tassel hanging from it, the tassel flickered as she was talking.

She looked so ethereal. Her features were so appealing, her skin fair, her eyes big and sparkling, her nose prominent and her lips rosy, she was quite pleasing to the eye.

Luo Yuyan and Luo Keer were both one year older than Luo Qianqian, Luo Yuyan was in a yellow gown and Luo Keer was in bright red, they were both dolled up. However, Luo Qianqian had definitely eclipsed them even though she was in a plain gown with a simple hairdo.

“The… the Fourth Lady…” the servants were all in great awe. How come the Fourth Lady became prettier than the last time they saw her.

“Luo Qianqian!” The First Lady gritted her teeth and glared at her.

‘Why is she still safe and sound?’

‘Why isn’t she sleeping in her room? Where was she last night?’

The First Lady collected her thoughts and pulled herself together, “Little Four, tell me what happened? Why weren’t you in your own room?”

Luo Qianqian tilted her head and pointed at her yard, “To reply to The First Lady, you see, I have so many rooms in Luo Pavilion, so I slept at some other room last night, just for fun.”

The First Lady was choked and she became more furious, the Second Concubine was quick witted, she said, “Little Four, are you all right? We are here to check on you, you see, there were venomous insects at our yards last night, so we are here to see if you are all right.”

Seeing how pretty Luo Qianqian was, the Second Concubine wished she could shatter her in pieces, she bore a striking resemblance to her dead mother now.

No wonder Prince Eighth was so fond of her!

However, that was fine. Men were always like this, they were fickle in affection, scheming was the ultimate way to win favors from men.

Luo Qianqian replied in an innocent tone, “I am fine, Prince Eighth’s bodyguard Feng Qing is here to protect me.”

“Feng Qing?”

That was Prince Eighth’s favorite bodyguard! Feng Qing grew up with Prince Eighth since they were both little boys, Feng Qing probably was the person that Prince Eighth trusted the most, but now Prince Eighth asked Feng Qing to protect Luo Qianqian!

Did it… did it mean Prince Eighth loved Luo Qianqian so dearly that he didn’t care about his own safety?

God knew how much the Crown Prince saw Prince Eighth as a thorn in his side and was always ready to kill him, but now he asked his most competent bodyguard to protect Luo Qianqian!
