Chapter 61.1 - One After Another Suspicious Point From That Time (1/2)
Quickly sending Luo Qing Luan back to her little courtyard, Nalan Ye’s dark robe fluttered as he stood on the rooftop while a strand of his voice was directed into her ear.
“Tonight, I feel extremely pleased. I hope that Miss Luo will prepare a few more delicacies next time, so that I wouldn’t have agreed to your request in vain.”
With a flutter of his sleeves, in a blink, his figure had already disappeared before her.
“Humph, finally left.” Frowning, at this very moment, Luo Qing Luan finally genuinely relaxed.
Being together with this man was very tiring. Not only did she have to be extremely mindful of whether he would mount a sneak attack, she even had to consider all kinds of things, not allowing him to see through her lies. She’d interacted with him but for a few hours, yet it felt as if she’d performed a hug surgical operation, both mentally and physically exhausted.
However, in the end, there was also good news. Since Nalan Ye agreed to her request, then it wouldn’t be so impossible to find her mother’s cause of death.
Having relaxed, Luo Qing Luan slept deeply, a dreamless night.
……
During the coming days, she was the same as before. Sometimes, she’d slip away to see how Heavenly Dream Tower’s business was going. Sometimes, she brought Dai Yue to go eat out again. Sometimes, she also brought a new book she wrote to give to Boss Li, then wait for the first round of crazed sales.
Within a month, Luo Qing Luan’s savings of more than ten thousand taels very quickly became more than twenty thousand taels of silver.
With a stable source of income, she increasingly spared more attention to Wang Xue Ru. Not only did she inquire into her past, she also looked into the people by her side such as servants and maids, etc. She also thought of all kinds of ways to make indirect inquiries of Luo Cheng. She wanted to find out as much as possible about things related to her mother.
Even though Luo Cheng didn’t like Luo Qing Luan much at all, he thought about how this daughter of his might very possibly become the crown prince consort soon, especially after the empress sent someone to notify them that she will personally visit the general’s mansion next month. He gradually changed the way he looked at this second daughter of his.
“Qing Luan, your mother already passed away for so many years now, so don’t keep asking. You should properly get your zither music ready, understand?” Within the pavilion in the garden, Luo Cheng advised in a deep voice with hands behind his back. “Since Her Highness the Empress likes you and the crown prince also seems to care for you, you should grasp this opportunity firmly, understand? If you can be wed to the crown prince, then it’s much better than being wed to Fifth Prince.”
Luo Qing Luan didn’t feel anything regarding Luo Cheng’s change of attitude. “Father, I understand. Since you don’t want to talk about it, I’ll return to my room and play the zither.”
“You……” Luo Cheng’s anger was in a knot.
Ignoring the angry Luo Cheng entirely, Luo Qing Luan very quickly returned to her room.
