Chapter 78b: Angrily Rebuke Luo Cheng
When he left the court session Luo Cheng was surrounded by a few colleagues who had a lot to say. They were all envious of his two daughters who were marrying well. Their speeches caused him to burst with joy and be pleased with himself. He didn’t expect that the instant he came home and would hear this news. He couldn’t help but become alarmed. “What? Wasn’t she just fine yesterday, how can she be ill now?”
Recalling that when he left the house earlier, Wang Xue Ru was also awake, yet there was nothing unusual about her? How could she become ill so quickly. Did she encounter some medical emergency?
Ziyu quickly explained. “That’s not it. After Side Madam went to see Second Lady, she came back ill. I’m afraid that she......she was angered by the second lady.”
Immediately recalling how Luo Qing Luan’s personality had changed quite a bit recently, no longer the timid and yielding person she was before. Instead, she’d become opinionated, intelligent and competent, causing him to be increasingly satisfied. Luo Cheng frowned. Could it be that this Qing Luan messed with something and made Wang Xue Ru mad?
Speeding up his footsteps as he entered Graceful Orchid Courtyard, he hadn’t entered the bedroom when he heard the deep sound of weeping and entered to take a look. Wang Xue Ru’s complexion was deathly pale, her face smeared with tear stains all over as she reclined on the bed, as if barely alive.
Seeing her, he immediately became worried and hurried to sit by her bedside as he said, “Xue Ru, what’s happening with you? Are you feeling ill?”
Easily waiting until he came home, Wang Xue Ru immediately sobbed spasmodically and opened her mouth to fade a groan, “Mas, Master......I’m not going to make it, you......you need to take good care of yourself in the future. I, I don’t have the good fortune of waiting upon you......”
“Look at what you’re saying!”
Luo Cheng was distraught with anxiety and promptly gripped her hand, “What in the world happened. Weren’t you just fine a moment ago? Haven’t I merely attended imperial court. Why is it that you’re like this when I returned?”
Standing by the side, Ziyu quickly blabbed, “There’s something Master doesn’t know. Side Madam went to see Second Lady just now. Originally, she kindly brought Nanny Zhang to go teach Second Lady etiquette, so as to avoid making mistakes during the wedding. The side madam was truly filled with good intentions, but not only was the Second Lady grateful, she instead gave the side madam a scolding. She said that Side Madam is merely father’s concubine and is not fit to manage her matters.”
“That’s true, Master......” Wang Xue Ru twitched a couple of times, then wept out loud. Grabbing Luo Cheng’s hand, she said, “You know already, that daughter of yours......is relying upon her upcoming marriage with the Prince of Chu to have me not mind her business in the future. It’s nothing if it’s like this, but she even said......”
Luo Cheng heard and got really angry. At once, he bellowed furiously, “That rebellious girl. She’s simply uncontrollable. What else did she say?”
“She said that I’ve been married to Master for many years, yet haven’t given birth to a son for you. The Luo family is going to become extinct!” Wang Xue Ru rigidly grabbed Luo Cheng’s hand, gnashing her teeth in anger as she pronounced each word at a time, “That good daughter of yours, she wants to supply you a concubine, and then infuriate me to death! Master, I truly don’t want to live anymore—”
As she spoke, she sobbed loudly, world shakingly. Listening, Luo Cheng was both shocked and furious.
There was actually something like this? Simply outrageous, lawless, undisciplined and out of control!
Previously, he even thought that Luo Qing Luan was obedient and sensible. He didn’t expect that in a blink, she would stir up such a matter! As a daughter, not only did she infuriate her father’s concubine to death, she even wants to supply her father with a concubine. How could she have such nerves?
No longer able to sit still, Luo Cheng got up and made a beeline for Luo Qing Luan’s residence.
Knowing that Wang Xue Ru would tell on her, Luo Qing Luan was already waiting for Luo Cheng to come early on. Moreover, this was her plan to begin with, so she’d need to carry it out step by step. She rushed to stand in front of Luo Cheng before his scolding could leave his mouth. Her entire face was smiling as she said, “Father, you’ve come. I was going to look for you.”
“You still have the face to see me?” Luo Cheng brushed his sleeve fiercely, suddenly angry. “You’re well aware of what you’ve done. I even thought that since you’re about to become the Princess of Chu, you should’ve become more sensible and filial. I didn’t expect that you actually......actually......”
So angry that he was about to explode, it took awhile before he could control himself. Luo Cheng was so angry that his complexion was flushed, “Quickly go and apologize to your father’s concubine. Kneel in front of her and admit your error. Otherwise, I’ll beat you to death today!”
Luo Qing Luan merely blanked out for a moment before Luo Cheng roared, “Did you hear me, still not leaving? You really want to be beaten to death, right?”
Originally, she only intended to make Wang Xue Ru angry and have her suffer for a bit. Luo Qing Luan didn’t expect that for Wang Xue Ru’s sake, Luo Cheng wanted to beat her to death? Even though he couldn’t really beat her to death, nevertheless, this kind of subconsciously spoken words proved even more that the position she occupied in Luo Cheng’s heart could not compare with Wang Xue Ru’s.
Not distinguishing between right and wrong, and also without clarifying what in the world happened, her father already said that he wanted to beat her to death!
Without feeling cold and also without feeling pain in her heart, Luo Qing Luan’s heart already no longer regarded Luo Cheng as her father. Not only was she not afraid, she furthermore didn’t kneel to admit her error. On the contrary, with a cold expression, she said unyieldingly, “Father’s going to beat me to death?”
Luo Cheng scolded without the slightest hesitation, “Rebellious girl, you’re becoming more and more undisciplined and out of control. Are you truly relying on your future status to commit outrages?”
Heart already cold, tears already used up, Luo Qing Luan’s turned apathetic in a flash as she said coldly, “I’m indeed undisciplined and out of control, so what? Compared to a dotard like Father, who has been kept completely in the dark by someone for ten plus years, who has taken his personal enemy to be his close relative! No matter what I say, at least I’m living with a clear understanding, unlike you. Once Mother passed away, you’ve already forgotten her. For so many years, have you ever thought of Mother, have you already cleanly forgotten her?”When he left the court session Luo Cheng was surrounded by a few colleagues who had a lot to say. They were all envious of his two daughters who were marrying well. Their speeches caused him to burst with joy and be pleased with himself. He didn’t expect that the instant he came home and would hear this news. He couldn’t help but become alarmed. “What? Wasn’t she just fine yesterday, how can she be ill now?”
