nChapter 24: That Was Quite a Show (1)

nTranslator: Sissy That Walk

nAh~ here they came.

n

n

nLuo Qianqian walked out of her room in a leisure way.

nThe blood stain in her room was cleaned up by Xiao Yue.

n“Respected Prime Minister Luo, the First Lady, Master Luo and the Second Lady, greetings.” Xiao Yue walked to them and bowed.

nLuo Qianqian didn’t move, she simply didn’t feel like it.

n

n

nOf course Prime Minister Luo ignored Xiao Yue and marched in.

nHe looked around Luo Pavilion, he noticed something abnormal, the treasury door was broke in, there was a box lying in the hallway.

n“Luo Qianqian, admit what you have done!” Prime Minister Luo deemed that to be evidence that Luo Qianqian had hired the assassins, obviously she didn’t have got a chance to clean up after paying the assassins.

nHe orders the servants, “Go grasp this monster and beat her to death.”

n

n

nWhat? Beating to death? Without even questioning her?

nCouldn’t he notice Luo Pavilion was also broken in?

nLuo Qianqian had to admit she had underestimated Prime Minister Luo, she shouldn’t have had thought he would show any fatherhood to her.

nBut to grasp her? And beat her to death?

nNot that easy.

nLuo Qianqian didn’t want to expose her ability just yet, so she stepped back and looked at Prime Minister Luo, pretending she was crying, “Father? What have I done? Why do I deserve to be beaten to death?”

n

n

nXiao Yue, a little girl she was, but now she was standing in front of her lady trying her best to give her protection.

nAnd the servants all had heard of how the Fourth Lady was a different person than she used to be, she was now no longer a good-for-nothing, and once she fought several servants by herself.

nSo they were all hesitant to walk to her, especially when they looked at her in the eye, so intimidating!

n“Prime Minister Luo, what has my lady done? Please don’t… …” begged Xiao Yue.

nEven though she knew her lady was nothing to Prime Minister Luo all along, but she felt heartbroken when she heard “beat her to death”.

nXiao Yue thought about the old days, how her lady would light a candle at night, reflecting what she had done wrong and wishing she could have some of her father’s love.

nBut what had her lady got in the end? Cold treatment!

nHe had never showed any feelings to Luo Qianqian, there was one time he walked away when he saw Luo Qianqian was covered by blood stains, not even bothering to ask what had happened.

n

n

n“What has she done? She knows it better than anyone.”

nLuo Qianqian shook her head, “Father, please enlighten me, I really don’t know.”

nPrime Minister Luo sneered, “All right, I will give you some solid evidence, Yuyan, come.”

nThe way he called Luo Yuyan, so gentle!

nLuo Qianqian would have escaped if not for all those treasured sent by Prince Eighth.

nShe didn’t want to face anyone in the family, cold-hearted monsters.

n“Fourth Sister, we never had any grudge, but why did you do this to me?” cried Luo Yuyan, and she showed her arm with blood stains on it.

n“I don’t understand what you are talking about, Second Sister.” Luo Qianqian averted her eyes from Luo Yuyan’s wound.

nPrime Minister Luo deemed as a sign of guilty.

nHe wanted to beat her to death by himself, “You monster, just admit what you have done! The assassins were hired by you, weren’t they? How very dare you! Yuyan almost got killed by you!”

n“No, of course it was not me!” replied Luo Qianqian, her eyes turned red and she tried to suppress her emotions.

nWhile actually she was very calm.

n“All right, Fourth Sister, care to explain why the necklace sent from Prince Eighth was now in the assassin’s hand?” chimed in Luo Jingxuan, and he showed everyone the necklace.

n

n

nLuo Qianqian fumed, ‘What the heck? They managed to steal my necklace?’

nThat was not something she would like to tolerate!

nLuo Qianqian rubbed her eyes and tears streamed down on her cheeks, she pointed to the treasury, “Father, my treasury was broken in last night, I thought you were here for that, I didn’t know anything about my Second Sister.”

nLuo Qianqian hung her head low, her body was shaking, everyone thought she was weeping actually she was suppressing her laughter, “Just like my Second Sister said, we don’t have any grudge, why would I hurt her?”

nLuo Yuyan now was more mad, did she just spoon feed Luo Qianqian an excuse?

n“Father and sister, I’m no fool, why would I do such a thing, what can I get from it? Father I hope you could question me first before you asked the servants to beat me to death.”

nPrime Minister Luo was dumbfounded, he indeed found what Luo Qianqian said made perfect sense.

n‘It’s not her?’

nThe crowd looked at each other, everyone was at a loss.

nAnd the treasury was indeed broken in, if it was Luo Qianqian who hired those assassins, why would she ask them to break in her own treasury?

nSeeing that, the First Lady exploded, she pointed at Luo Qianqian and yelled, “You gave such a good talk! It is you, I know it, it is you who has hired those assassins last night, luckily we caught you in time, otherwise you would pose a threat to Prince Eighth after you get married.”

nLuo Qianqian stared back, she saw through the First Lady and she wish she could skin this woman alive.

n“That doesn’t make any sense to me, First Lady. Why would I allow the assassin to carry my necklace around when I know that would expose me? As you can see, my treasury was broken in last night, obviously, I am also a victim.”

nThe First Lady was choked.

n“Father, I cannot even leave the mansion without your permission, how could it be me?”
