Novel Bin Chapter 77.1 - Finding Luo Cheng a Concubine
Chapter 77a: Finding Luo Cheng a Concubine
The sound of footsteps finally receded far away as Luo Qing Luan closed the door carefully. Turning around, her face was filled with craftiness and complacency.
“Hongyu, thank you.” Smiling as she walked over, Luo Qing Luan sat down. Holding the other’s soft hands, she continued, “Just now, Father’s Concubine said those things to you. I’m truly sorry.”
Having already talked things over with Luo Qing Luan and moreover, they’d already calculated that there would be this scene, Hongyu smiled sweetly and quickly replied, “It’s nothing. Why are you being polite? If it wasn’t for your help, I wouldn’t have today. The Master already told me that I have to help you. I’m also perfectly happy to do so.”
Without the slightest bit of refined timidity she displayed earlier, Hongyu recovered her originally imposing carefree character. As for this girl before her who was a bit younger than she, she sincerely admired the young girl. Recalling those ideas which recently had been implemented at Immortal Dream Tower, she wouldn’t have been able to come up with even one of those ideas. Moreover, only now did she find out that Mister Luo was actually a Miss Luo......it truly was too unexpected.
As for the help this time, she’s merely returning the favor a little bit, that’s all, so she naturally coordinated wholeheartedly.
Luo Qing Luan’s eyes flashed. Recalling what just happened, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Ha ha, Hongyu, didn’t I say that Father’s Concubine would use this pretext to pick fault with me? Look at how unpleasant her scolding was, yet in the end, when my father scolded her, that shocked appearance was truly funny. You don’t know it, but my father has never scolded her like that before.”
Knitting her brows, Hongyu hesitated a little, “But Miss Luo, us doing that......what if everything truly blows up, I’m afraid it’s not good. Madam Luo has such a temper, what if she became furious and vented her anger on you?”
“How can she be considered a madam? In the end, isn’t she merely a concubine, nothing more?” Luo Qing Luan smiled indifferently, not caring in the least. “Hongyu, don’t you worry. She simply won’t dare to do anything to me. However, this matter requires your help in the end. I’m causing you to suffer. If you’re not willing, there’s still time to back out right now. I won’t blame you.”
Without further consideration, Hongyu replied resolutely, “Miss Luo, you’ve granted me great favors. If it wasn’t for those ideas of yours at that time, I’m afraid that my position within Immortal Dream Tower would not have allowed my body to remain pure. I’m merely paying back a little right now. I’ll definitely help you with this.”
In regards to this plan, Luo Qing Luan already thought everything out clearly. She was barely getting started. First, have her father get to know Hongyu to stir up Wang Xue Ru’s anger and jealousy. What followed after was the key. In order to take revenge for her mother, she needed Wang Xue Ru to have a proper taste of suffering. Finally, she needed to have her live a life wishing she were dead.
The plan needed to progress step by step in order to be accomplished. She needed to sacrifice a few people. In the end, Luo Qing Luan was a bit unable to bear it as she said in a low voice, “Hongyu, you need to think everything through carefully. This isn’t a small matter. Moreover, it relates to your lifetime of happiness. Once you make a mistake, you may suffer for a lifetime.”
Hongyu smiled slightly, as a trace of sadness flashed through her exceptionally graceful appearance. At Immortal Dream Tower, she’s the goddess that countless numbers of men trip over each other in order to curry her favor, but in reality, once she removed this layer of pretense, she was merely a pathetic courtesan living in a brothel.
If their plan was truly successful, then perhaps she could find a place to call home. As for whether she could grasp the opportunity, that depended upon her fate.
“I’ve already thought it over, otherwise I wouldn’t have agreed. I certainly wouldn’t have followed Miss Luo to the General’s Mansion.” Hongyu’s beautiful eyes sparkled as a trace of resolution was exposed among the feelings contained in her teary eyes. She spoke one word at a time, “Helping you is also helping myself. Therefore, let us continue.”
......
Hongyu stayed at the General’s Mansion for three consecutive days before leaving. Each day, if she wasn’t dancing gayly in the courtyard, she exhibited her grace by accompanying Luo Qing Luan in paying respects to Luo Cheng. She deliberately displayed her charms and allure. When they interacted alone, she was even more attractive. Every frown and every smile made Luo Cheng stare enraptured and recall fondly.
Naturally, Luo Qing Luan pretended to not see anything. She even deliberately created opportunities for the two of them to be alone. Luo Cheng was totally unaware that he had fallen into a well designed trap. He became increasingly moved by Hongyu. In merely three short days, he had already fallen in deeply.
After being careful not to overdo it, Hongyu returned to Immortal Dream Tower. Luo Cheng felt despondent, so much so that he tried to detain her in Wang Xue Ru’s presence. Wang Xue Ru was so angry that her face nearly distorted beyond recognition. As for Luo Qing Luan, the girl who brought this woman into the General’s Mansion, she hated her to the bone.
On this day, Wang Xue Ru waited until Luo Cheng went to the imperial court, before she immediately brought Ziyu and imposingly hurried to Luo Qing Luan’s courtyard in an excited manner. Once she saw the girl eating in a carefree manner, while Dai Yue was unexpectedly also sitting down, seeing the mistress and servant’s intimacy made the loathing in her heart grow even more.
“Simply no rules at all. A servant actually shared a meal with her mistress. If others were to learn of this, they would think that our General’s Mansion is completely discipline less!” Wang Xue Ru was originally deliberately looking for trouble. Her complexion darkened as she coldly ordered, “Ziyu, beat her up for me!”
“Yes, Side Madam!”
Ziyu accepted the order, and immediately stepped forward to pull Dai Yue. The latter hadn’t reacted, face full of confusion, when she saw Ziyu charge towards her with raised hand.
Seeing this, Luo Qing Luan’s complexion changed as she shouted, “Stop!”
But Ziyu simply didn’t listen to her and continued to slap. She even fiercely kicked Dai Yue, who was caught off guard, to the ground. She lifted her foot to step on her when a fine white hand extended and pulled her wrist to a stop. Ziyu actually couldn’t control herself and was severely flung to one side by Luo Qing Luan, falling onto the ground.
