Chapter 77: Chapter 77 - Infectious Disease

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Luo Qianqian wasn’t surprised at all when she heard The Second Concubine said that she wished for Luo Qianqian’s death in Old Wang’s residence.

Luo Qianqian decided to do it the “courtesy demands reciprocity” way, she would repay The Second Concubine for her wish.

Luo Qianqian went to the tavern for martial arts training during the day, the only difference was Murong Yun spent more time with her, he would go to Luo Qianqian as soon as he left the court.

Luo Qianqian was secretly enjoying this doting even though she would say Murong Yun was being overprotective in his presence.

Murong Yun offered to kill Old Wang without a trace, but Luo Qianqian rejected it, she trusted Murong Yun’s ability of course, but she would like to have a closure with The Second Concubine and give that woman some payback.

Murong Yun didn’t know what Luo Qianqian was up to, but he dared not to disobey Luo Qianqian.

That night.

The Second Concubine sneaked out of the mansion like the night before, she figured she better keep her promise to Old Wang now that she was counting on Old Wang for killing Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian finished training early this day, she brought Murong Yun with her back to the mansion and visited Prime Minister Luo.

“Qianqian, you should have told me earlier that Prince Eighth will pay a visit to our humble adobe today. Prince Eighth, greetings to you, you have graced my house with your presence.” Prime Minister Luo fawned over Prince Eighth.

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes with disgust but soon she put on an innocent face, “Father, please forgive me this time, it’s just we have made some discoveries about the cobras. I’ve mentioned what happened to us that night to Prince Eighth, Prince Eighth did some research and found it was not The Second Concubine and my Third Sister’s doing, they are wronged! We need to uphold justice for them.”

Prime Minister Luo was surprised, “Qianqian, is that true? Is the whole thing a misunderstanding?”

Prime Minister Luo missed spending the night at The Second Concubine’s, he could always had so much fun there, so he was secretly happy when he heard that, he now had an excuse to patch things up with his favorite concubine.

“Yes father, Prince Eighth did the research himself.” replied Luo Qianqian, she had no time to go through the details with Prime Minister Luo, she had to mention Prince Eighth’s name to save time.

Prime Minister Luo dared not to doubt Prince Eighth of course, but he felt a bit embarrassed for domestic shame should not be made public after all.

“Prince Eighth, thank you so much for your time.” Prime Minister Luo bowed to Murong Yun, expressing his thanks.

“No problem.” answered Murong Yun, looking emotionless.

He was just here to put on a show with Luo Qianqian, he hadn’t spent any time doing any research. That was why he put on a poker face when Prime Minister Luo said thanks, he was feeling guilty, but he had to finish the mission Luo Qianqian had given him.

“Father, shall we go to The Second Concubine’s together? I want to apologize to her and my Third Sister, do you feel like going with me and Prince Eighth?” asked Luo Qianqian.

Prime Minister Luo was so happy that Luo Qianqian asked him that question, he carefully watched Murong Yun’s face when he heard the question, Murong Yun wasn’t repulsed by the suggestion.

“You are a good girl, Qianqian.” Prime Minister Luo nodded repeatedly in approval, then he loooked at Murong Yun, “Shall we go together, Prince Eighth?”

Murong Yun nodded and followed them.

Soon they arrived at The Second Concubine’s residence.

Luo Keer was pacing back and forth in the yard, waiting for her mother to come back.

All Luo Keer knew was her mother promised her that Luo Qianqian was doomed for her mother had a trump card hidden in her sleeve, and tonight her mother went outside to contact the trump card.

The Second Concubine kept Luo Keer in the dark about the details, she didn’t want her daughter to loathe her.

Luo Keer couldn’t wait for the day to come, she blamed Luo Qianqian for everything happened to her, missed opportunity with Lin Zimo, failure at the test in the tavern, Prime Minister Luo’s disfavour… …

Luo Keer was daydreaming when Luo Qianqian, Prime Minister Luo and Murong Yun arrived at her residence.

She rubbed her eyes and said, “Father?”

Luo Keer couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

Prime Minister Luo hadn’t set foot in their residence for days now, and the thing was The Second Concubine wasn’t home at this hour!

Luo Keer saw Luo Qianqian and Murong Yun’s figures before she could figure out what was going on.

Luo Keer walked out and bowed to them, “Greetings to Prince Eighth and father.”

To Luo Keer’s surprise, Prime Minister Luo gave her a smile and walked to her gently, “Keer,, how have you been my daughter?”

“Keer is fine, thank you for asking, how about you father?” Luo Keer tried to look poised.

The Second Concubine had enjoined Luo Keer to cover her up no matter what happened.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Prime Minister Luo sighed, he caught hold of Luo Keer’s hand and said, “Keer, my daughter, this is all misunderstanding, it’s my fault. But Prince Eighth has found out the truth, you and your mother are innocent.”

Luo Keer’s eyes sparkled, ‘father has forgiven us?’

“Keer, take me to your mother, I need to apologize to her, your Fourth Sister is also here to visit you and your mother, let’s go together.” with that Prime Minister Luo was about to walk to The Second Concubine’s room.

A shiver of panic trembled in Luo Keer’s stomach, she grabbed Prime Minister Luo’s sleeve and said, “Father, please don’t go to mother’s!”

“What do you mean, Keer? Is everything all right?” asked Prime Minister Luo with concern.

Luo Keer racked her brains ans stuttered, “Because… because mother is resting in bed, she’s got infectious disease, it’s highly contagious.”

Hearing that, Prime Minister Luo flinched.

‘Infectious disease? I need to leave this place as soon as possible!’ thought Prime Minister Luo.

Luo Qianqian chimed in, “Father, we need to visit The Second Concubine to see if she is all right, she needs us the most now.”

Prime Minister Luo was so torn, he didn’t want to risk his life but he also didn’t want to appear as cold-hearted in Prince Eighth’s presence.

Luo Keer shook her head and barred in the way, “No, please go back, now is not a good time.”

“What are you doing Third Sister? We are all worried for The Second Concubine, of course we need to visit her, plus we can send for Doctor Lin later.” Luo Qianqian walked to Luo Keer.

“No, please go back!” Luo Keer wouldn’t budge.

“Third Sister, what’s going on? Why are you acting so wired, like you are trying hide something? Is… is The Second Concubine even home?” demanded Luo Qianqian.

Hearing that, Prime Minister Luo marched down to The Second Concubine’s room without hesitation.

As luck would have it, a servant now rushed to the yard and reported to them that he just saw a woman sneaking out from the back door.

Prime Minister Luo clenched his fists and said, “Take me to the woman!”
