Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good Chapter 84.2 - Give Luo Cheng a Concubine

Chapter 84b: Give Luo Cheng a Concubine
“What, Father doesn’t remember her?” Luo Qing Luan deliberately asked.
“No, that’s not it. How can Father not remember her?” Luo Cheng restrained his eagerness and probingly asked, “What did you say just now? Did you say that Miss Hong, she, she admires me? This is not possible, right?”
Seeing that Luo Cheng indeed took the bait, and even appeared so impatient, Luo Qing Luan disdained in her heart, but she still smiled and replied, “How can it not be. After Father left, Hongyu even asked many times. I told her stories about how Father used to fight in wars. She kept saying what a great hero Father is.”
Luo Cheng smiled at once, unable to conceal his happiness. “Qing Luan, how can you brag so groundlessly. If word were to spread, people will really laugh.” Having just said this, he immediately again fervently asked, “However, you said that Hongyu……to have you discuss these things with her, I’m afraid it might not be too good, right? Father understands your sense of filial piety, but I’m getting on in age after all. I actually regard Hongyu like a daughter, really……”
Luo Qing Luan immediately answered, “Look at what Father is saying. Hongyu really admires Father quite a bit. She even told me that she’s currently living at a courtesan house, not sure about the outcome of her precarious state. Even though her body remains pure at present, she really can’t guarantee when……Father, don’t tell me that you’re willing to look on unfeelingly as Hongyu, such a good woman, becomes defiled by those shameless scoundrels? If Father bring her in as a minor concubine, at least you’ll still give her a place to call home. If she were to give birth to a son for our Luo family in the future, if worst comes to worst, Father can raise her to become a concubine. Wouldn’t this satisfy the best of both worlds?” Take Hongyu to be his minor concubine? Once he thought about if this matter became reality, Luo Cheng’s heart felt as if it’s been scratched by a cat and began to itch. If the person before his eyes wasn’t his daughter, he really would’ve been unable to wait.
“Alright now, Father, I’ve already said this much. You give it some thought. Furthermore, in regards to Grandmother, do you have the heart to disappoint her? If Father doesn’t have any other opinion, then tomorrow, I’ll go tell Hongyu. I still need to reply to the Prince of Chu and help Father look at two more daughters from good families. After all, giving me one more brother and not have our Luo family cut short is an important matter. Don’t be too stubborn, Father.”
After she finished speaking, Luo Qing Luan left right away, leaving an utterly confused, but more and more excited Luo Cheng, to the extent that he became somewhat impatient.
That’s true, why must he be so stubborn? Taking in a concubine was not only for the sake of his mother’s happiness, at the same time, it’s also to carry on the Luo family’s ancestral line. Even the Prince of Chu’s face could not be slighted. There’s also Hongyu……that woman was indeed pitiful. He also didn’t have the heart to watch her continue to live at a brothel. If he could help her a bit……
Having so many reasons very quickly dispelled the last trace of misgivings in Luo Cheng’s heart. By the time Luo Qing Luan told him she’s going to the Prince of Chu’s mansion to give a reply the following day, Luo Cheng no longer refuse at all. He only asked her to go early and return quickly, acting totally like a compassionate father, without mentioning anything about Wang Xue Ru anymore.
Having discussed everything with Hongyu early on, looking for Nalan Ye to find suitable women was also simple. Before half a month had passed, Luo Qing Luan had already finished taking care of arranging concubines for Luo Cheng. Only at this moment did Wang Xue Ru react. The fact was that Luo Qing Luan concealed the matter too well. Moreover, she moved too quickly.
“Side Madam, the master really stayed at Lilac Courtyard yesterday. That woman from the brothel was indeed a troublesome hussy. She actually hooked the master……”
Ziyu had been beaten to death. Presently, the one by Wang Xue Ru’s side was a recently promoted second class servant girl named Dujuan.
Since yesterday, she already knew of this matter. Wang Xue Ru was so angry that she didn’t go see Luo Cheng for an entire day. She even thought that he’d come an explain himself by night time. Unexpectedly, not only did he not come, he even enjoyed another woman’s bed for the whole night. He seriously stayed overnight at that courtesan woman’s room.
So angry that her complexion ashened, Wang Xue Ru naturally knew that the one who came up with the idea was Luo Qing Luan. But the current Luo Qing Luan was no longer the stupid girl who she could pinch at will. She simply was no longer someone who she could provoke. The more Wang Xue Ru thought about it, the angrier she became. Clenching her teeth, with a wave of her hand, the cups and plates of fruits in front of her were sent smashing to the ground.
“Where’s the master now?” She said through clenched teeth.
She couldn’t directly mess with Luo Qing Luan, but could it be that she still couldn’t deal with a few minor concubines? Since they were arranged by Luo Qing Luan, then her dealing with these minor concubines was the same as slapping Luo Qing Luan’s face. She’s in fact the side madam, was it possible that she couldn’t teach a few minor concubines some rules?
Dujuan hastily answered, “Replying to Side Madam, the master had only just awaken. Should this servant go invite……”
Slapping the table Wang Xue Ru angrily retorted. “Forget the invite. Just wait here. I don’t believe that a few minor concubines won’t come to pay their respects to me.” The General’s Mansion didn’t have a primary wife, an actual ‘Madam’. As the ‘side madam’, she already had the highest status. She wanted to see if those flirty hussies had the guts to dare challenge her prestige openly.
Since she needed to give these minor concubines a lesson, then she naturally couldn’t allow people to see the fury in her heart. On the contrary, she’s going to make sure to mess with them in such a way that there’s no one they could complain to. Only in that way would it be worth watching that loathsome girl’s expression.
Very quickly, Dujuan finished tidying up Wang Xue Ru’s room, then boiled a pot of fragrant tea for her. She sat upright and still similar to a main wife waiting for those minor concubines to come pay respects to her.
But she waited until almost eleven am. Wang Xue Ru already sat until her back ached, yet the other people were slow in coming. She only saw Luo Qing Luan and Hongyu holding hands walking towards her with smiles across their entire faces. Behind them, there were even two young ladies with their hair worn in the style of married women.
