Chapter 71: She Must Suffer
Translator: Sissy That Walk
In Luo Keer’s room.
Luo Keer was sitting by her window, sighing in despair. She was frustrated, frowning and pouting.
Luo Keer was thinking about Lin Zimo, it had always been her dream to marry Lin Zimo, but now she felt the chances of her marrying Lin Zimo was becoming slimmer and slimmer. She was having a hard time at home without Prime Minister Luo’s favor.
She had never been treated like this since she was born, and she blamed Luo Qianqian for this.
Her mother, the Second Concubine had been trying hard to win favor from Prime Minister Luo again, but it was of no avail. Prime Minister Luo had been ignoring the Second Concubine since that night when they found dead cobra in Luo Qianqian’s room.
The reason why the Second Concubine dared to talk back to 120 before was because she knew Prime Minister Luo favored her, but now she had to stay low key even in front of the servants in this mansion.
the Second Concubine had enough of it, she was determined to fight for Prime Minister Luo’s favor. This day, she dolled up and walked to the study to visit Prime Minister Luo, trying to patch things up with Prime Minister Luo. However, Prime Minister Luo refused to meet her, he told the servants to walk her back to her own room.
Prime Minister Luo didn’t want to ruffle Luo Qianqian’s features by seeing the Second Concubine, he knew the Second Concubine had been mistreating Luo Qianqian for a long time. Prime Minister Luo was counting on Luo Qianqian to talk him up in front of Murong Yun and Master Lingtian, he wouldn’t risk it due to the Second Concubine.
Prime Minister Luo felt like he was walking on cloud nine recently, needless to say, his daughter Luo Qianqian would become a princess soon, and his other daughter Luo Yuyan wasn’t doing too shabby, she also had secured herself an opportunity to learn from Master Lingtian’s follower. Xiao Yue wasn’t technically Master Lingtian’s disciple, but the opportunity to learn from Master Lingtian’s follower was precious enough.
But the other daughter Luo Keer, she had totally made a fool of herself in the test! He didn’t even want to spare one more look at her and her mother the Second Concubine.
People outside had been talking about Luo Qianqian, the story tellers in the tea shops and taverns had created stories about the Fourth Lady in the Prime Minister Mansion. They said this Fourth Lady was as beautiful as a fairy in heaven, Prince Eighth had fallen in love with her at first sight. This Fourth Lady was not just appealing to the eyes, she was refined internally as well, Master Lingtian took her as his disciple along with Princess Eleventh. The Fourth Lady must be a legendary girl! Everyone in the capital city would kill to meet this girl in person.
the Second Concubine went back to see Luo Keer, panting with rage.
Seeing her mother, Luo Keer sprang from her chair and walked out to check on her mother.
“Mom, are you all right? How did it go? Has father forgiven us?”
“Keer, it didn’t work out! You father still firmly believes it’s us who has put the cobras in Luo Qianqian’s room, he loathes us, I don’t know what to do, Keer. Plus you are the only girl who hasn’t made it to learn from Master Lingtian and his follower, your father loathes us even more now.”
Luo Keer lowered her head.
“Keer, do you know how people are talking about you these days?” the Second Concubine gnashed her teeth and thought about the way the servants talked to her.
“the Second Concubine, Prime Minister Luo is busy at the moment, he doesn’t want to see you and he asks us to walk you back.” the sneer was plain on the servants’ faces.
“the Second Concubine, do you know the Third Lady’s reputation now? The story tellers are all saying the Third Lady behaves with unbearable insolence, she is ill-mannered and lack of discipline. People are all saying the Third Lady is by no means wife material! All the good boys should avoid her!”
the Second Concubine told Luo Keer what she heard from the servants, Luo Keer brimmed with tears.
“Mother, it must be Luo Qianqian, it must be her! Or Luo Yuyan! Neither of them is good! They don’t want to see me happy and they know how much I want to marry Zimo, so they slander me and my reputation so Zimo won’t marry me! Mom, I will kill Luo Qianqian!”
the Second Concubine’s head is throbbing, but she stopped Luo Keer who was about to walk out and confront Luo Qianqian, “Keer!”
“Keer! Time is different now! Luo Qianqian is no longer what she used to be, you think we can take her down easily? We will only suffer a crushing defeat if we just fling caution to the winds without a thorough plan! Do you understand?”
the Second Concubine continued, “Your father is doing watever he can to fawn over Luo Qianqian, he asked Butler Luo to send Luo Qianqian soup to alleviate her hangover, he even asked Luo Qianqian to arrange her a brand new carriage! Keer, we need to think before we act!”
Luo Keer gnashed her teeth, “Mom! We are just going to sit back and watch? The only way is to kill her, as soon as possible, otherwise neither of us can have a break.”
Luo Keer once again had thought about the scene where she had to run away and hide from Lin Zimo outside of the tavern the other day, she would have totally talked to Lin Zimo if not for her face. Luo Qianqian asked Feng Qing to slap her face and her face got so swollen and ugly, she had to miss the opportunity to talk to Lin Zimo!
Luo Keer was fuming with indignation and jealousy.
“Keer, please calm down! I know how upset you are, I’m the same, if not more. But if we give ourselves away on any traces that we are up against Luo Qianqian, you father will tackle us before Luo Qianqian!”
Prime Minister Luo had always been like that, ‘if you are useless to me, you are out.’
“I know, mom. But I can’t just sit back and do nothing about it, what if Zimo hears about those rumour and he decided to not marry me, mom, I cannot even bear the thought!” cried out Luo Keer, “Mom, please help me, mom, I’m begging you! Luo Qianqian must suffer!”
“Keer, don’t cry. The trouble is Feng Qing is protecting her, it’s not that easy to attack her.” said the Second Concubine in frustration, “I want to kill Luo Qianqian too, Keer, like you just said, we cannot have a break as long as she is still alive!”
“Mom, have you heard luring the tiger from the mountain? We can make an attacking scene and separate Feng Qing from Luo Qianqian, and kill once Feng Qing leaves Luo Qianqian!”killing intent filled Luo Keer’s eyes, she wished she could kill Luo Qianqian with her very hand.
‘Luring the tiger from the mountain?’ the Second Concubine was lost in thought. ‘Keer is absolutely right about Feng Qing, as long as Feng Qing is around Luo Qianqian, they won’t stand a chance to take Luo Qianqian’s life.’
The Second Concubine’s eyes narrowed, she was determined to turn to her trump card, her last resort she wound not turn to unless she had no other alternative!
“Keer, I will sneak out tonight, you just keep an eye on Luo Qianqian!”
“I will!”
