Chapter 13: Preparing to Retaliate
Watching Wang Xue Ru’s complacency as she led Luo Qing Shuang and left, and even Luo Cheng’s cold and detached and loathing glance before he left, Luo Qing Luan finally became angry.
These so-called relatives, each and every one treated her as a thorn in their side, wishing to see her make a fool of herself and humiliated, so much so that it’s even better if she died.
She originally was going to make a proper plan and slowly put them in their place. It would seem that she was still not ruthless enough!
"Dai Yue, does it hurt?"
Experiencing her mistress personally putting medicine on her, Dai Yue seemed to not even feel pain anymore. "My Lady, I’m not in pain."
"Foolish girl. You were slapped so severely, how can you not be in pain? I only want to tell you this. Those people who slapped you today, I will help you pay back each and every one of them the same way. Have them know that there’s also a limit to my patience." free(w)ebnov(e)l
"My Lady, don’t act recklessly!"
Dai Yue was alarmed and promptly declared, "I’m really not hurting. I was merely slapped a few times, that’s all. Servants have coarse and thick skin. It’s really nothing serious. My Lady, don’t provoke Master because of me."
Shaking her head lightly, Luo Qing Luan applied the medicine even more gently and responded. "Give them an inch and they’ll want a mile. If we still don’t retaliate, it’ll only make them bully us even more miserably. Dai Yue, don’t worry, your mistress is also not stupid. I’ll naturally think of a good way such that they can’t argue even if they have mouths."
......
The second day. The red inflammation on Dai Yue’s face had basically dissolved. This was all thanks to Luo Qing Luan’s medical expertise. She merely found some medicinal herbs in the garden which were effective for reducing swelling and dissolving bruises and combined them appropriately to produce nearly miraculous results. She had no choice but to admit that the skills she learned in her previous life from the Ghost Doctor were quite practical.
After examining Dai Yue’s recovering face, Luo Qing Luan was relieved. She spoke gently. "It’s good now. Dai Yue, go find me two sets of men’s clothes. We’ll go have a look around the streets."
Nangong Chen said that he wanted to break off their engagement. Even though she had not received the imperial edict, yet, she should still personally go out and ask around. Who knew if anything else happened? Since she already prepared to make a move, it’s best that she catch hold of the enemy’s decisive moment. Maybe taking a stroll would allow her to think of a way to take revenge on Luo Qing Shuang.
Having changed to a simple, green outfit, Dai Yue then combed Luo Qing Luan’s hair into a man’s bun. Using a strip of cloth, she tied it up neatly. Even though Luo Qing Luan didn’t look very wealthy, her look still had a young man’s rather elegant and graceful bearing. If someone wasn’t familiar with her, they simply would not recognize that she was actually a female.
Pushing open the little gate to the rear courtyard, Luo Qing Luan left the mansion once again.
This time, she brought Dai Yue and walked as she wished, not nearly as hurried as last time.
The capital of the state of Western Chu was flourishing and wealthy. Endless crowds of people came and went. There were merchants hastily pulling their wares. There were farmers carrying vegetables on their shoulders. There were also youths peddling their goods by the side of the street, married women selling their needlework. Shops lined the entire street unendingly, unusually bustling with noise and activity.
"My Lady very rarely went outside in the past. This time, we can properly stroll around." Dai Yue had just finished speaking when her eyes shined from what she saw out front. "Ah, I see someone selling candied fruits on a stick!"
This girl, really so simple-minded. Yesterday, she was crying because of the pain on her face, yet today, she already completely forgot about it. Luo Qing Luan also couldn’t help but shake her head. Dai Yue truly was simple and lovable, not bearing grudges in the least, but it’s also good like that. Living a simple life would allow her to be happy.
Taking the candied fruit offered to her, Dai Yue felt somewhat embarrassed eating them. "My Lady, would you like to eat some?"
Smiling slightly, Luo Qing Yuan answered. "You eat them yourself. Oh yeah, remember to call me Young Master, to avoid exposing ourselves."
Dai Yue promptly nodded her head. As she pigged out on the candied fruits, a huge circle of syrup adhered around her lips.
Strolling straight forward, Luo Qing Luan moved aimlessly, but when she passed a teahouse, there was the sound of a storyteller on the second story stirring up cheers from customers. "Sooner said than done, the fellow shouted loudly and swung his bowl sized fist and aimed it at the evil tyrant......"
"Young Master, do you like listening to stories?" Dai Yue asked from behind her.
Luo Qing Luan was certainly not very interested listening to stories. It’s just that this scene seemed to cause something to flash through her mind. But it was too quick and she still couldn’t grasp it. She was just going to leave when someone unexpectedly came up beside her. He smilingly rushed towards her quietly. "Sir, I have the best ’stuff’ here. Would you like to buy some?"
One look at this person’s shifty appearance, and she knew that this was nothing good, but Luo Qing Luan had always been inquisitive. She wanted to know just what kind of good ’stuff’ this person was really talking about. She replied indifferently. "Just you? What kind of good ’stuff’ can you have?"
This person became somewhat anxious. "Sigh, young sir, how can you not believe people like that? Wouldn’t you know if there’s anything good once you looked at them? Moreover, they’re not expensive. Two taels of silver for each title. How about looking at the goods first before saying anything else?"
One title? Could they be books?
Luo Qing Luan became even more curious. What kind of book could be sold for two silver taels each?
She increasingly wanted to know what kind of godly books these were. She brought Dai Yue along to follow this person in walking to the beginning of a small alley. Seeing that there were much fewer people walking around, that person finally mysteriously and furtively fished out a little booklet with a blue cover from his chest and handed it to her. He winked at her a couple of times before saying ambiguously, "I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!"
On the cover, four words were written neatly "One Hundred Poetic Verses". There’s nothing unusual about it at all, but when Luo Qing Luan opened it up to read, it surprisingly was absolutely not a verse book. Rather, it was novel. It’s just that......
