Chapter 80.1 - Catching the Thief, Recovering the Booty (1/2)

Right when the door to her room creaked and a soft noise sounded, Luo Qing Luan could hear that someone had entered.

She even thought that it was Dai Yue and didn’t care at all, but immediately, she sensed that something was fishy about the sound of these footsteps. Every time Dai Yue came in, she would gossip while giggling, just like a parakeet who couldn’t keep its mouth shut. But this time, not only was there no talking, even the rhythm of the footsteps were wrong, making her raise her guard.

It absolutely wasn’t Dai Yue!

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, the other person already quickly came in. The beaded curtain’s movement sounded as a man dressed in a blue brocade gown appeared before her.

“Ah? Little beauty……” When the man first saw Luo Qing Luan immersed inside the bath tub, his two eyes shined in surprise. Such a remarkably stunning woman was truly like a goddess. He immediately laughed mischievously as he cupped his hands. “Greetings young lady. Your countenance is truly as beautiful as the moon……”

“Who are you?” With a cold shout, Luo Qing Luan’s body submerged deeper. Only her head remained above the water’s surface. She even covered the front of her body.

“Beauty, you don’t need to be nervous. I’m the one who the servant from your residence brought here to accompany you. Young Lady is so stunning. You surprisingly still wasted so much effort in wandering outside. In the future, you should just allow me to come keep you company, what do you think? I guarantee that you’ll play very pleasurably, you’ll be in seventh heaven……” The man excitedly rubbed his hands as he approached the bathtub step by step. A pair of eyes stared at Luo Qing Luan fixedly, wishing that his vision was capable of penetrating the water’s surface.

With these few words, Luo Qing Luan already understood.

Who else could it be, but Wang Xue Ru who looked for this man? The two of them practically already shed all pretenses. Conflicting views could not be reconciled. Moreover, the day before yesterday, she told Luo Cheng of the matter relating to her mother’s death. She’s afraid it’s because of this reason that Wang Xue Ru, in spite of everything, made a move against her within the General’s Mansion!

There was merely one more month before she was to wed. Was Wang Xue Ru truly willing to resign herself? Naturally, she first needed to destroy this marriage, after which she could deal with her as she wished.

As long as she could have people see this man together with Luo Qing Luan, especially during this time. When the moment came, not only would Nalan Ye cancel the wedding, even Luo Cheng’s face would lose its splendor. As for herself, she would certainly be accused with the crime of ‘premarital adultery’, wanton by nature, failing to guard her reputation.

One can well imagine the consequences!

The more desperate the situation was, the more cool-headed Luo Qing Luan became.

She didn’t know martial arts. Moreover, she was currently naked and it was inconvenient for her to move about. She couldn’t even casually make noise, because once she yelled out loud, she’s afraid the man would panic even more and might gag her, or maybe an accident might happen if her became frenetic. At that time, those people who were purposefully guarding outside for an opportunity would come in to catch her red-handed. Even with ten mouths, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name.

Time was of the essence, she could only save herself!
