Chapter 61a: One After Another Suspicious Point From That Time
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.
She wasn’t able to gain much information about her mother from him, but she wasn’t anxious at all. It’s been so long, it could be assumed that Nalan Ye probably should’ve discovered something on his end. As a grand prince, capable people under him, various ministers and all other kinds of connections were not sources that she could compare to. She should find a chance to talk to him. Perhaps she’d then be able to obtain some clues.
Just as she was thinking about this, Dai Yue came in carrying tea. She smiled when she saw her. "My Lady, the Master just sent someone to bring this here. He said it’s for you to see if this tea can be used to serve Her Highness the Empress when she comes to visit next month."
After putting down the items in her hand, she became curious and blinked as the asked. "My Lady, do you think Her Highness will really come? Is she especially noble and beautiful?"
"What, Dai Yue, are you very curious?" Luo Qing Luan couldn’t help but find it amusing.
"But that’s Her Highness the Empress, the mother of a country!" Dai Yue displayed an expression of exaggerated admiration. "My Lady, has Her Highness really taken a fancy to you and want you to become the crown prince consort? Will His Highness the Crown Prince also come at that time?"
Of course Luo Qing Luan was well aware of the reason why the empress wanted to visit her. This originally was something that she planned meticulously, but her goal wasn’t to become crown prince consort. On the contrary, it’s for the sake of changing the empress’ attitude, and redirect her attention towards another direction.
But this affair is still early. She also didn’t want to go practice some zither.
She was getting ready to find a reason to look for Nalan Ye, when her wet nurse, Nanny Song, came all of a sudden.
"Wet Nurse, are you looking for me for some reason?" Luo Qing Luan promptly had her sit down.
Even though Nanny Song was only considered a servant in the General’s Mansion, in her heart, besides Dai Yue, Nanny Song was the only other person who was good to her. Nanny Song was getting on in age, so Luo Qing Luan was even considering whether she should give the elder money to retire and nurse her health at some point.
Today’s Nanny Song looked a bit abnormal. Even though its broad daylight, she was glancing furtively outside and hiding here and there. She looked all over the place, as if afraid that someone will see her. When she entered their house and sat down, she then hemmed and hawed like she did in the past. Even when Luo Qing Luan asked her what’s going on, she didn’t know what to say, muttering something vaguely.
Eyebrows slightly knitted, Luo Qing Luan was a little worried. Her wet nurse wasn’t usually like this. Something must have happened. She had Dai Yue go outside and stand guard, not allowing anyone to come in. After that, she asked sternly, "Wet Nurse, only you and I are here now. Tell me what happened. No matter what happened, I will help you."
Nanny Song was moved when hearing this, her mistress was still worried about her at this time, instead of about herself. No matter what, she’ll disclose everything today.
"My Lady, I’ve watched you grow up for so many years. You’re like my own child to me." Nanny Song pulled Luo Qing Luan’s hand, voice somewhat choking, "If the Madam is here and see how beautiful and clever you’ve become, she will surely be gratified."
Seeming to have sensed something, Luo Qing Luan nodded. "I know, even though Mother has passed away, I will still be well. Wet Nurse don’t need to worry about me."
"How can I not worry......" Nanny Song appeared anxious, grabbing Luo Qing Luan’s hand tightly. "My Lady, you don’t know. Ever since she heard Her Highness is coming, the side madam, she......she’s very unhappy."
