Chapter 100A: Getting Personally Involved

Ever since Madame Luo returned, Wang Xue Ru, who was already used to pouting all day long, was in a rage.

She knew why Madame Luo had come back from Country Pu, which was because Luo Qing Luan was getting married. However, the last time her daughter, Qing Shuang, had gotten married to the Fifth Prince, Granny had known all the same, but only let someone send back a word of congratulations. This time, however, she rushed back because of Luo Qing Luan. It was obvious that there was preferential treatment.

“Lady Ce, Granny is too biased! They’re all her granddaughters, but the biasedness is too great.” The servant girl, Du Juan muttered in a small voice. Out of the corner of her eye, she glimpsed at Wang Xue Ru’s expression.

Wang Xue Ru’s hand was clenched into a fist as she grit her teeth and said, “This undying old lady. She’s just cruel.”

Back then when Qing Shuang was born, she was clearly the oldest granddaughter, but Madame Luo didn’t particularly like her. She just glanced at her, sent her a silver bracelet and didn’t come a single time before the first month’s celebration. Did she really have to favour that ugly and stupid lowly young brat, Luo Qing Luan? They had messed with her so badly, making her look ugly, but that undying old lady liked her all the same.

Du Juan replied once again, “Lady Ce, you should go and pay Granny a visit. Coax her a little, get Granny to advise Master to pay you a visit. Now, Master spends all day with Jiand Yu. He even has Zhang Shi and Du Zhi eyeing on him. It has been a long time since Master has paid our Yi Lan courtyard a visit.”

Her tone was sour, and her face had also scrunched up. She looked at a loss as she watched Wang Xue Ru fuming.

“Shut up! You want me to beg that old fart? Pah! I’d rather die than beg her! Wang Xue Ru was enraged as she cried out.

“Lady Ce, please stay your anger. Your servant has spoken in error.” Du Juan knelt down immediately.

Without the mood to pay Du Juan any notice, Wang Xue Ru grit her teeth in hatred. The Last time, she had gotten Zi Yu to look for someone to taint Luo Qing Luan’s innocence. Zi Yu had clearly said that she had already set everything up, but when she led Luo Cheng over to catch the couple in the act, they actually met the first prince, Nalan Ye, by accident. The plan had failed. Not only did she beat Zi Yu to death, she had even been implicated and scolded by Luo Cheng. Thinking of how Luo Qing Luan was going to marry Nalan Ye without any hiccups, and thinking of using her daughter, Luo Qing Shuang, as a footstool, Wang Xue Ru couldn’t help but want to kill that ugly brat.

“Time is running out, running out…”

“What should I do? I have to think of something. How can I let her marry Lord Chu?”

Wang Xue Ru kept muttering to herself, her appearance was like the devil, and her whole face was crazed. In a few more days, the wedding day would come.

Luo Qing Luan had already guessed that she was the one who had killed her mother. If she had the identity of a princess, she would definitely take revenge against her. How could she continue to occupy the position she did now?

It was at this moment that a servant came running in, saying with urgency, “Lady Ce, Lady Ce, the Lord wants you to rush to the guest house. Lord Chu is coming.”

“What? Lord Chu is coming?” Wang Xue Ru was shocoked out of her wits.

The servant hurried replied, “Yes, Lord Chu has personally come to discuss the final wedding arrangements with Master. He has even brought Second Young Miss many gifts. I have heard that it is His majesty and the empress who have bestowed it upon her. Master is afraid of being late to meet them, so he has asked for Lady Ce to receive them.”

Wang Xue Ru was completely stunned.

She had just thought of Luo Qing Luan’s marriage to the prince and was afraid that she would gain influence when Lord Chu personally came.

Lord Chu had always been a distant and cold person. Nobody had ever seen him treat a woman with such sincerity. Who would have thought that, after he had been in Luo Qing Luan’s bed chambers late at night, it would progress so quickly? Could it be that that night, they had already…

Wang Xue Ru could not help but make her guesses, and was already unable to stop her own headcanons.

That night, she had gotten someone to check them out secretly. They heard that, on the morning of the second day, they didn’t see Luo Qing Luan and Lord Chu appearing together. It was as if they’d left early on. Furthermore, they didn’t find Luo Qing Luan washing her bed sheets or anything like that. It seemed like they didn’t do anything and she was still pure. However, Lord Chu had fallen more and more in love with her. If she really let Luo Qing Luan get married, would she be able to keep her life?

“This won’t do, this won’t do… I definitely can’t let her get married.”

Wang Xue Ru had already gone a little crazy, as she grabbed at Du Juan, who was kneeling down in front of her, “Tell me, tell me. How do we stop Luo Qing Luan from marrying Lord Chu? How do we stop him from marrying her? Tell me!”

She had been shaken so hard by Wang Xue Ru that she had gone dizzy. Her arms were gripped so hard that they hurt, but Du Juan dared not struggle. She stared with wide eyes, blurting out, “Lady Ce, if the Second Young Miss was not pure, Lord Chu would not marry her!”

Not pure? How could Wang Xue Ru not have thought of this? But they already failed the last time!

“Tell me, what should we do? Tell me!” Her mind was in a complete mess as Wang Xue Ru said menacingly, “How do we strip her of her innocence?”

She was so scared by Wang Xue Ru that she almost fainted, but Du Juan was deathly afraid that, if she fainted, she would be beaten to death by Wang Xue Ru. She desperately thought of an answer as she stammered, “That- that- just… use drugs! Drug the second young miss, then look for someone… just casually find a male…”

Her eyes shone, and Wang Xue Ru froze.
