Chapter 43: Evil Will Be Rewarded with Evil
Sitting on the soft couch in the inner room of Yingxue Garden, Qin Luo's thin lips were tightly pursed, her pretty face was solemn, her slender hands supported her chin, staring at the thick night outside the window, her mind racing.
Chu Yifeng!
Who would have thought he was actually the crown prince of Chu?!
Her luck is also a bit too good... At that time, casually pulling someone, can also pull the prince of a country?
A faint self-mocking smile rose to the corners of his lips, and then his eyes became even more profound. Tell her his name... and come to find her again and again, what did he want to do? Did he really want to marry her in vain?
But after several encounters, when did she have such great charm?
She is the princess of the Zhen Nan Wang Fu, and was bestowed upon by the Emperor to marry the Third Prince - her brother's woman!
If the affair between them were to be exposed, stealing a brother's woman would be enough to drown him in the spittle of the common people! The censor's impeachment would not even let him keep his position as crown prince!
Anyone with a bit of brains would try to cover this up, but he keeps coming back to the Wang estate, saying he wants to take responsibility and marry her...
This man, she couldn't see through him anymore!
Seems elegant and unrestrained, but she knows he's not!
The empress of the Chu State Emperor passed away early, and then there was no establishment of a new empress. The mother of the third imperial son, Xian Guifei, who had gained the emperor's favor, took charge of the affairs in the rear palace. The birth mother of the crown prince was the deceased Empress Yao.
Being able to stand firm in the palace where people are eaten, for over a decade no matter how much favor Consort Xian gained or how much more popular Third Prince became, none of them were able to shake his position as Crown Prince…… She didn't believe that this man would be as simple as he appeared on the surface!
Stroking the face that had already removed its veil... At first, when he saw her, the poison on her face hadn't worn off yet. She didn't believe that her acne-covered appearance could make him fall in love at first sight! And then he insisted on marrying no one but her...
Not for her beauty... For a woman he had only met a few times, and the third prince, there was no benefit to him at all. The only possibility left was her father, Qin Lingyun!
Qin Lingyun's cultivation was powerful, and with the victory of this battle, he already had a reputation as a war god in Chu State... According to her guess, Chu Yifeng was afraid that the Third Prince and Zhen Nan Wangfu would successfully form an alliance, making the Third Prince's power even greater, and his own position unstable.
……
The more I think about it, the more possible it seems, and the faintly bewildered light in his eyes gradually becomes clear and cold.
The next morning, Qin Luoyi got up early, washed and dressed, and the first thing she did was to take Liu'er and Xing'er, her two personal maids, to Quanxiang Garden to visit her "good" sister who had been stung by a mutated red-footed bee.
Not yet approaching the Xiangxiang Garden, I saw the slaves and attendants coming and going in the garden, as well as the angry and shrill scolding voice of Madame Zhu Mei.
Qin Luo smiled coldly in her heart. Without letting anyone announce her arrival, she walked directly into Qin Luohans boudoir.
"Han'er, don't scare your mom..."
Madam Zhu Mei sat on the edge of Qin Luo Han's bed, her eyes red and swollen, painfully holding her daughter's hand, comforting her while shouting at the maids standing in the room: "Where is the king? Why haven't you gone to invite the king yet? You're all just a bunch of useless people, can't you see that my daughter is suffering? What are you all doing just standing there? If anything happens to my daughter, I won't forgive you!"
Disheveled hair, clothes full of wrinkles, a fierce and frantic appearance, where is the elegance and nobility of everyday life? A complete streetwoman style, making people feel disgusted!
Qin Luo's eyes curved slightly as she gazed at Qin Luohan lying on the bed.
Qin Luo's hands and feet were still bound, a white cloth was stuffed into her mouth, her eyes were bloodshot, her hair was disheveled, and her face was wrapped in thick white bandages, swollen like a pig's head. Her entire body was curled up into a ball due to the unbearable itching, and she was rolling around on the bed in agony, although her throat was blocked, she couldn't help but make "huh" sounds from time to time.
A bright light flashed across Qin's eyes.
No wonder it was so quiet last night, it turns out that her mouth had been covered all along! It seems that Zhu Mei also has some brains, fearing that her daughter's loud cries would be too frightening and lose the face of the Second Miss of the Wang Manor!
The young servant girl who had been scolded by Zhu Mei hastily retreated from the house, her heart racing with fear. As she reached the doorway, everyone bowed their heads in respect upon seeing her.
"Your Ladyship!"
Qin Luo Yi nodded and walked in. The commotion at the door startled Second Madam Zhu Mei, who turned around to see Qin Luo Yi dressed in a pale pink dress, looking elegant and refined, her eyes almost spitting fire.
Why was it her own daughter who got stung by the mutated red-footed bees on Mount Moon Mist, instead of this ugly girl who should have died long ago?
Seething with rage, in front of a room full of people, he could only stand up and suppress the flames of anger as he bowed to her. In his lowered eyes, a venomous glint flickered.
Qin Luo Yi hastily walked to Qin Luo Han's side, repeatedly and anxiously asking: "Second sister, are you better now? Why are your hands and feet still tied up? Look at this wrist, it's all bruised! If we keep tying like this, I'm afraid her hand will be crippled!" With a worried face, she reached out to untie the rope on Qin Luo Han's wrist.
Qin Luohan's eyes were bloodshot, but his pupils seemed to be out of focus, and his expression was frantic.
Zhu Mei saw her reaching out to untie the rope on her own daughter's hand, and was shocked in her heart. She hurriedly rushed over: "Princess, you can't untie it, you can't untie it!"
Qin Luo's hand stopped, looked at her, then looked at Qin Luohan who was in pain on the bed, frowned and asked: "Isn't this bad? With so many maids and your aunt watching personally in the room, it's better to untie it, otherwise... Second sister's hand will be ruined!"
After finishing speaking, his hand stretched up again.
The second lady, Zhu Mei, was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She knelt down in front of her and said urgently: "It can't be solved, young master, it can't be solved! The poison of that damned mutant red-footed bee is too severe. I originally wanted to solve it yesterday, but as soon as I opened it, the second lady's hand went back to scratching her face..."
Qin Luohan was injured again after returning yesterday!
Qin Luo Yi smiled to herself, blinked her eyes, and let out a sigh: "So that's how it is! For the sake of my second sister's face, I'd better not ask any more questions!" After thinking for a moment, she continued: "Aunt Zhu, yesterday in the heat of the moment, it was I who ordered someone to tie up my second sister. You won't blame me, will you?"
"No, no!" Zhu Mei gritted her teeth in secret, but smiled on the surface: "Speaking of which, I should thank the county master, if it wasn't for the county master's plan, my family's Han Er's face... who knows what kind of state it would be in!"
Qin Luo Yi looked at her, speaking sweet words from her mouth, but with a clearly resentful and furious expression in her eyes. She smiled: "Auntie doesn't get angry with me, that's good! The mutated red-footed bee was too vicious, I also had no choice but to resort to this trick in desperation!"
Zhu Mei forced a smile and thanked her, gritting her teeth again.
Qin took off her clothes, a smile playing on the corners of her lips, her eyes shining with an icy, unfathomable light. She called out to Xing'er to bring over the purple jade ointment and personally handed it to Zhu Mei: "I still have some purple jade ointment left here, second sister's face is injured, this ointment will be most effective. Last time I was injured, after applying this medicine to my forehead, not a single scar was left behind!"
Zhu Mei's eyes flashed with wild joy, and she hastily took it over, her mouth repeating "Thank you, young master, thank you, young master!" She grasped it tightly in her hand, as if holding onto a precious treasure.
The Purple Jade Ointment is a top-grade healing ointment that only Master Physician Valley possesses, even the imperial physicians in the palace can't make it!
Yesterday, looking at the bloody scratches on her daughter's face, she almost went mad, begging Wang Ye to find Zi Yu Gao, but learned that only San Huangzi and Taizi had it in their hands. The ointment on San Huangzi's hand was given to Qin Luo Yi a month ago, while Taizi's was said to have been given away...
She's anxious! These few days are the best time to treat the wound, if she misses these few days, even with the Purple Jade Ointment, it's likely to leave a scar!
If it's really like that, her daughter will be ruined for this lifetime!
Qin Luo Yi once again exhorted and then left. Walking out of the Jin Xiang Garden gate, she couldn't help but curve up a very faint smile at the corner of her lips.
Zhu Mei... She's rejoicing too early!
Chu Yixiu took out that bottle of purple jade cream, she had never used it before, this bottle was given by Chu Yifeng in the first place.
She wiped it for more than a month, and there was not much left inside. At most, it could only be enough for Qin Luohan to wipe two or three times. She is not a good person who repays kindness with grievances! When others bullied her, she still took the trouble to consider others!
Qin Luo's two mothers-in-law were extremely nice to her in front of others, but made things difficult for her behind the scenes... In the Wang household and even throughout the entire capital city, their reputation was not bad at all!
Unfortunately, his predecessor was not clear about people, too trusting of them, taking their wolf heart as a good conscience, and finally lost his life in vain!
