Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Cold and Unkind Father
Standing leisurely by the door, Luo Qing Luan appeared neither happy nor sad as she watched the man before her eyes known as her father, yet who had actually never cared about her before. There wasn't the slightest expression on her face.
[It's been fifteen years. He treated her without any bit of concern, partial towards his concubine and her daughter, Luo Qing Shuang. In his mind, what did she really count as?
Merely a chess piece, a link to the imperial household, right?
If she were to lose her engagement with Nangong Chen, would Luo Cheng immediately kick her out of their residence, so much so that……]
A voice directly interrupted Luo Qing Luan's train of thought. Luo Cheng saw that she remained unmoving while standing in her original spot and became even more furious. "Luo Qing Luan, you unfilial daughter, do you really care nothing about what your father says?"
"What did Father just say?" Luo Qing Luan asked emotionlessly.
"You……"
Luo Cheng fumed while the concubine by his side, Wang Xue Ru, took the opportunity to say, "Master, look. I wasn't wrong, right? Qing Luan really don't know what manners are. She doesn't even listen to you. Even though her mother died ever since she was born, truly pitiful, but she is the Fifth Prince's fiancee after all! If she's not taught properly, what if when she marries in the future and shame our General's Mansion? Wouldn't that make the whole world laugh?"
A few scheming words were like adding oil to the fire. As expected, Luo Cheng's anger wasn't light. "Did you hear? Your father's concubine is so concerned about you, yet you actually did such a thing to Qing Shuang. Why have you not learn the least bit of your older sister's sensibleness and manners?"
Most likely, yesterday, Luo Qing Shuang returned to tell on her. Luo Qing Luan now understood. Not only did that older sister of hers complained, she probably also misrepresented the facts and pushed all of the faults towards her, right? Maybe Wang Xue Ru even whispered no small amount of pillow talk!
She already knew that Luo Cheng didn't treat her as his own daughter, but she also didn't care. She descended the steps and stood in front of Luo Cheng before replying. "I don't know what I've actually done to make Father so angry. Will Father explain clearly? I will certainly correct any mistakes."
"You're surprisingly still feigning ignorance?"
Luo Cheng brushed his sleeve ferociously and replied angrily. "I'm asking you, the peacock hairpin that Fifth Prince sent yesterday, did you ruin it? That was a royal gift. If it weren't for our General's Mansion and the Fifth Prince's Mansion having a level of relations, do you think that we can obtain such a gift so easily? Yet you even dared to damage it at will?"
Wang Xue Ru also immediately said. "Sigh……Qing Luan, you're also too mindless. If the emperor were to know, I'm afraid he will sentence us."
She was waiting to see Luo Qing Luan lose her head out of fear, but unexpectedly, she opened her mouth to speak instead. "It's because I'm the Fifth Prince's fiancee that he sent the peacock hairpin to us, however…….yesterday, Elder Sister clearly told me that he gave this hairpin to her. What in the world is going on here? I'm the one who's the Fifth Prince's fiancee, why did this peacock hairpin get into Elder Sister's hands?"
Even though his heart wished that the one to marry Nangong Chen would be his oldest daughter, still, at this moment, Luo Cheng had no way of claiming that there's a problem with what Luo Qing Luan was saying.
The entire state of Western Chu knew that his main daughter, Luo Qing Luan, was tasteless, utterly vulgar, and simply didn't deserve Fifth Prince. But as long as the imperial edict had not been written, there's no way to change the candidate for prince consort. Luo Qing Luan will remain unchanged in occupying this position, allowing countless numbers of people to laugh about this matter over their cup of tea.
(TN: The daughter of the main wife is considered the 'main' daughter and is considered noble born, whereas the daughters of concubines are merely daughters, are not considered 'noble', and have no titles nor inheritance no matter how old they are. When non-noble daughters married, they are also unlikely married as the main wife, but as a concubine like their mother.)
Even if Luo Qing Luan already changed her appearance, the cumulative effect of fifteen years of nasty impressions simply was not so easy to change. No matter how Luo Cheng looked at her, she wasn't pleasing to his eyes. Now after hearing these words of hers, he immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. "You still have the nerve to say that? Who's to blame for your formerly disgusting appearance, failing to claim Fifth Prince's heart? What's wrong with him liking your older sister now? Not only do you not help out your older sister, you're jealous of her instead and ruined the gift Fifth Prince sent. In what way do you have the bearing of the noble daughter in a general's mansion?"s
"Just because I'm the main daughter, I should yield everything to Luo Qing Shuang?"
Luo Qing Luan could no longer endure such blatant biased words spoken by her father. Her face turned cold as she continued. "Father, I know that you've always liked Elder Sister, but you also shouldn't be so biased! Am I not your daughter?"
"You unfilial daughter, you actually dare to lecture your father……"
Luo Cheng had not finished speaking when he was directly interrupted by Luo Qing Luan. "No matter who Fifth Prince likes, since the engagement still stands, he should not go after Elder Sister. Elder Sister knew that I'm his fiancee and should also remain reserved. How could she have no sense of shame instead and hooked up with him?"
"Oh my god—-"
Right at this moment, Wang Xue Ru's complexion changed in a big way as she covered her face and cried out loud. "Qing Luan, how can you slander your own older sister like that? Qing Shuang has always been well-behaved and sensible and is even famous for being western Chu's girl of talent. How can she do something like seduce the Fifth Prince? Qing Shuang only happens to be compatible with Fifth Prince, but she absolutely adhered to etiquette and has not stepped even half a step beyond the boundaries of acceptable behavior……"
"Rebel! Rebel!"
Luo Cheng was so angry that he shook from head to foot, complexion darkened, roaring. "Rebellious daughter, rebellious daughter! How can our Luo family produce such a degenerate offspring like you? Contradicting your elders, insulting older sister, you……you……"
His voice suddenly became higher as he pointed at Luo Qing Luan and fiercely said. "Someone come. Seize her! Whip her fifty forceful lashes!"
