Chapter 44: Sowing Discords

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Luo Keer had got a hot temper, she had been jealous of Luo Qianqian for the love and attention she got from Prince Eighth, and she was still mad at Luo Qianqian for she had interrupted the meeting up of her and Lin Zimo, so she glared at Luo Qianqian and said, “Luo Qianqian, stop playing dumb, what are you taking us for? Obviously it is you that have put these venomous insects in our yards.”

Luo Qianqian blinked her big innocent eyes, “What are you talking about, my Third Sister, I’m not following. I didn’t even know about those venomous insects until just now.”

“You!” fumed Luo Keer.

The Second Concubine pulled Luo Keer subtly, “Keer, we are just here to watch.”

Of course The Second Concubine was not showing mercy to Luo Qianqian, she just thought she would prefer to see the First Lady start the drama, so she and her daughter could be worldly wise and make themselves safe no matter who had got the upper hand.

Luo Keer glared at Luo Qianqian, she wished she could slaughter Luo Qianqian with her eyes.

The First Lady unleashed killing intent from her eyes, she stared at Luo Qianqian, “Is it true that you have absolutely no idea about this?”

Luo Qianqian shrugged, “Well, not absolutely no idea… …”

“What do you mean?” Luo Yuyan asked promptly.

“The Second Concubine, Third Sister, look at this.” with that she flashed the hairpin she found in her room last night.

Xiao Cui gasped, she lowered her head.

She knew she had lost her hairpin last night, but little did she expect she had lost in in Luo Pavilion!

What could she do now!

The Second Concubine had no idea it was Xiao Cui’s hairpin, she asked in confusion, “It’s a hairpin, so what?”

“Isn’t that Xiao Cui’s hairpin?” Luo Keer blurted out.

Luo Qianqian tried so hard to suppress laughter, Luo Keer lifted a rock only to drop it on her own feet.

Hearing that, The Second Concubine frowned, but what had been said couldn’t be unsaid, she could only wait and see.

The First Lady shot a look at Xiao Cui, seeing the way Xiao Cui lowering her head and shuddering, she asked Luo Qianqian, “Why do you have Xiao Cui’s hairpin?”

“I found this hairpin in my room last night, why not ask Xiao Cui, the owner of this hairpin, why was her hairpin in my room? Why were there so many cobras on my bed? Why were there so many venomous insects?” said Luo Qianqian in a forceful tone, she had successfully diverted the attention to the Second Concubine.

Luo Qianqian had totally seen this show coming today, she knew it wasn’t that easy to kill them with those venomous insects, so she planned to sow some discords between the two ladies.

The First Lady employed killers to ambush her, the Second Concubine asked her daughter’s maid to put cobras in her room, both vicious and evil.

They were both coveting gains ahead without being aware of danger behind, yep, Luo Qianqian was the danger.

As for Luo Jingxuan, no rush, Luo Qianqian was determined to settle scores with everyone who had hurt her.

“Guards! Get Xiao Cui!”

The First Lady ordered guards to tackle Xiao Cui, while she and Luo Yuyan were seated in the yard.

“Madam, it’s not me, I would never put you and the Second Lady’s life in danger!” Xiao Cui thumped her head on the ground, soon she started to bleed.

Luo Qianqian felt nothing, she knew those evil people didn’t deserve her sympathy.

“You surely are a loyal maid, I know you wouldn’t do it on your own initiative, but I know you take orders from your lady and your madam!” said the First Lady with a cold smile.

The Second Concubine dragged Luo Keer and they both kowtowed to The First Lady, “Madam, please trust me, how could I … …”

Luo Keer’s eyes turned red, “Madam, Second Sister, we have been so close all along, it is Luo Qianqian! It is Luo Qianqian who has set this up!”

The First Lady didn’t buy a word, in fact, they had never been close, they had been framing each other for the past two decades.

“I will find out the truth! Guards! Flog Xiao Cui!”

“As for you two… …” The First Lady narrowed her eyes and thought for a while — she didn’t want to upset Prime Minister Luo by abusing them — “Tackle them for now, I will think about it.”

The guards only tackled Xiao Cui, no one dared to approach The Second Concubine or Luo Keer.

Seeing that, The First Lady was furious, she pounded on the table in the yard, “Whose order are you taking?”

“Yes, madam!” the guards had to tackle The Second Concubine and Luo Keer as well.

They were fully aware the difference between Lady and Concubine.

“Mom, what should we do about Luo Qianqian?” whispered Luo Yuyan at The First Lady’s ear.

Feng Qing now was standing behind Luo Qianqian and playing with the puppy they just got.

The First Lady’s eyes dimmed, she turned back and whispered at her daughter, “There’s nothing we can do about her today considering Feng Qing is here, we better handle The Second Concubine first.”

“But mom!” Luo Yuyan refused to take that answer, she came here today hoping to take Luo Qianqian down.

“Yuyan, enough, it’s just a matter of time, patience.”

Xiao Cui who suffered ten flogs begged for mercy now, “The First Lady, I will confess, I will confess everything.”

Luo Qianqian had zero interest in listening to whatever Xiao Cui was about to say, she reminded The First Lady, “Madam, I’m afraid Luo Pavilion is not the best place for this confession.”

The First Lady nodded and she left with a group of servants.

Seeing their retiring figures, Luo Qianqian snorted. She rolled up her sleeves and called Feng Qing and Xiao Yue, “Guys, let’s clean this yard.”

Feng Qing nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yue looked at her lady with admiration filled in her eyes, how she admired her lady now! A tough cookie!

“At your service, my lady.” replied Xiao Yue cheerfully.

Luo Qianqian was confident The First Lady would make full use of this opportunity to impose authority on The Second Concubine.

And she also knew The First Lady would dare to find fault with her now that she had got Murong Yun, plus she had Feng Qing to protect her, she was rest assured about her safety.
