Chapter 66: To Fuddle Her (1)
In the hall.
Prime Minister Luo, the First Lady and her children Luo Yuyan and Luo Jingxuan, the Second Concubine and her daughter Luo Keer were waiting for Luo Qianqian with different expressions on the face.
“What is taking her so long, that’s so disrespectful!”
Luo Qianqian heard Luo Keer’s complaint when she arriving at the door.
To Luo Qianqian’s surprise, Prime Minister Luo didn’t comfort Luo Keer, he retorted her instead, “You need to learn to be more patient to your sister, Keer.”
Prime Minister Luo was wild with joy since he heard the news that Master Lingtian took Luo Qianqian as his disciple, a double blessing had descended upon the house, his other daughter Luo Yuyan also got the opportunity to learn something from Master Lingtian’s servant.
Prime Minister Luo did some calculations in his heart, Luo Yuyan now had better chance in marrying the Crown Prince and he was carried away by that possibility. Prime Minister Luo had no idea that Mu Chaoyang was in prison now, the empress blocked the passage of this message.
“Daddy, I am patient.” Luo Keer brimmed with tears.
the Second Concubine pulled Luo Keer’s sleeve under the table, signaling her to not talk back.
Prime Minister Luo was not happy about Luo Keer recently, she didn’t make the cut like her sisters and she ended up gaining some bad reputation due to her performance in the test, one thing led to another, Prime Minister Luo picked faults with Luo Keer in various ways.
He was determined to patch up things with his other daughter Luo Qianqian, who became the only two disciples of Master Lingtian together with Princess Eleventh, what an honor! And Luo Qianqian was on great terms with Prince Eighth and Princess Eleventh, he would love to network with Prince Eighth in court more.
He regretted for his life choice, he should have been treated this daughter better. But he was confident that Luo Qianqian would forgive him.
“Look at your good daughter, stop spoiling her.” Prime Minister Luo frowned and pointed finger at the Second Concubine.
the Second Concubine rose from her chair and apologized, “To reply to Prime Minister Luo, I will discipline Keer more, please don’t worry.”
With that tears streamed down from her eyes.
The tears which were usually used as weapon to win herself favors from Prime Minister Luo today failed at its job, Prime Minister Luo grew more and more vexed, “Wipe your face, we are celebrating tonight, why are you crying! Such bad omen!”
Hearing that, Luo Keer couldn’t help but cry out.
“Shut it!”
the Second Concubine and Luo Keer covered their mouths, trying to suppress the weep.
Luo Jingxuan chimed in as a peacemaker, “As you have just said, father, we are celebrating tonight, why are we upsetting ourselves for little things?”
Prime Minister Luo took a glimpse at his only son and nodded, “Jingxuan my son, you are growing bigger and bigger, your sisters Yuyan and Qianqian have set good examples for you, you need to learn from them.”
“Yes, father, I will study harder!”
the First Lady, seeing the Second Concubine and her daughter got cold treatment like that, wasn’t in high spirits as she was supposed to.
Neither was Luo Yuyan.
They were both cursing Luo Qianqian in the heart.
Luo Yuyan had always boasted her status as the daughter of the First Lady in the Prime Minister Mansion since she was born, and she had always been praised as the smart one in the family, she was so used to having all the spotlight on her.
But this Luo Qianqian, Luo Qianqian had outshone her since that fake death accident! And Luo Qianqian was getting more and more beautiful every single day, and she became Master Lingtian’s disciple!
‘All those attention and praise should be mine!’ she screamed in the heart.
‘Even father regards that little bitxx with special respect now, he is organizing her a special family gathering!’
Thinking of this, Luo Yuyan wished she could disfigure Luo Qianqian’s face with a knife!
Luo Qianqian had seen it all at the door, she was genuinely happy about what happened to the Second Concubine and Luo Keer, no wonder people always said good and evil must at last have their reward.
Luo Qianqian came up with a better way to uphold justice, she bowed to Prime Minister Luo respectfully, “Greetings, father.”
Prime Minister Luo beamed, he rose from his chair and supported her to stand up, “You are here, my good daughter. I’m holding this dinner to congratulate you on becoming Master Lingtian’s disciple, what a great honor!”
“I am so flattered, father, I made it by luck.” Luo Qianqian said modestly.
Prime Minister Luo was quite happy to hear that, “How great! Such a well-mannered young lady, no putting on airs and throw your weight about.”
Luo Keer interpreted as another criticism against herself, ‘Is father implying that I’m not well-mannered and I throw my weight about too much?’
Luo Keer was feeling more and more insecure now, ‘Father dislikes me now? Why is father so nice to Luo Qianqian? I hate Luo Qianqian!’
the First Lady was in a bad mood already and now she preyed on Luo Qianqian for she only greeted Prime Minister Luo, “Little Four, haven’t you seen me and the Second Concubine sitting at the table, we are your elders too.”
Luo Qianqian took refuge behind Prime Minister Luo as if she was scared by the First Lady’s harsh question. Luo Qianqian now bore striking resemblance to her late mother, Prime Minister Luo’s heart ached seeing Luo Qianqian getting scared.
Prime Minister Luo patted Luo Qianqian on her shoulder as a comfort, then he turned around to confront the First Lady, “Watch your mouth, are you trying to scare Little Four?”
the First Lady lowered her voice, “Your Lordship, I’m teaching her the right manner.”
Luo Qianqian gave a smug smile, ‘Yes, I’m ignoring you, what are you gonna do about it?’
Prime Minister Luo sneered, he pulled a chair for Luo Qianqian, “Little Four, sit here.”
Luo Qianqian played along, she sat down and said thanks, she was enjoying this internecine struggle among them.
Luo Yuyan raised her head and couldn’t believe her eyes, Luo Qianqianwas all Prime Minister Luo could see now.
Luo Yuyan met Luo Qianqian’s eyes, she swore she saw sneer and gloat in Luo Qianqian’s eyes.
‘Luo Qianqian had been playing dumb for the past years? Is this her revenge?’
The more Luo Yuyan thought about it, the more scared she got. But Luo Yuyan wasn’t the type of person who awaited her own doom, she decided she needed to strike back, for her and her mother!
“Little Four, congratulations, let me propose a toast to you.” Luo Yuyan rose to her feet and poured Luo Yuyan some wine, she figured she better use the opportunity and unmask Luo Qianqian by fuddling her.
