nThis night was the Flower Admiring Gathering.

nLuo Qianqian mounted the the carriage that Prime Minister Luo had prepared for her this evening, ready to set off.

n“Fourth Sister!”

n

n

nA girl’s voice rang when Luo Qianqian told Feng Qing who was the cart driver of the day that she was ready to go.

nLuo Qianqian lifted the curtain and cast the girl a look, it was Luo Yuyan, she was invited as well. Luo Yuyan was in long a pink gown with a silk sheer outer coat. She was wearing over a dozen hairpins and both her hands were decorated with bracelets.

nLuo Qianqian smiled and thought ‘that is no effortless chic for sure.’

n“Feng Qing, give me a moment.”

n

n

nWith that Luo Yuyan walked to the carriage and took a few peeks inside of the carriage.

nFeng Qing kept looking forward, he didn’t spare Luo Yuyan one look.

n“Fourth Sister, are you going to the Imperial Palace now? For the Flower Admiring Gathering?” Luo Yuyan’s tone was delightful.

nLuo Qianqian had asked Xiaocui to decorate the carriage before she left, sweet Xiaocui had not only decorated the carriage, but also she had added a few cushions so Luo Qianqian could sit more comfortably. So now Luo Qianqian took a comfortable position in the carriage and looked at Luo Yuyan disdainfully out of the corner of her eye, “Why?”

n

n

nLuo Yuyan looked hesitant, “Because I’m invited too, but the thing is we’ve only have this carriage available today, and I… I can’t ride horses, so… so I’m wondering can I share a ride with you?”

nLuo Yuyan regretted it so bad that she hadn’t learned to ride horses, she hated to beg Luo Qianqian.

nLuo Qianqian sounded bored and impatient, “It’s not my business that you can’t ride horses.”

nHearing that, Luo Yuyan clenched her fists in frustration but soon she regained her composure. She knew no way could she offend Luo Qianqian.

nAnd she hated to let go of such a great opportunity to meet high officials and noble lords, especially the Crown Prince Mu Chaoyang.

nShe had met Mu Chaoyang last time on the emperor’s birthday, she was confident she had left a good impression on him, so she wanted to make use of this Flower Admiring Gathering and strike while the iron was hot.

n

n

nLuo Yuyan aimed to marry the Crown Prince Mu Chaoyang so she could rank higher than Luo Qianqian.

n“Fourth Sister, I know you are still mad at me and you have every right to. Please allow me to apologize to you, I used to bully you a lot, but I was young and silly, please give me an opportunity to work on our sisterhood.” said Luo Yuyan, her face made a careful picture of weeping beauty.

nAnd that had attracted a lot of onlookers.

n“Is Fourth Lady sitting in the carriage? And she refuses her Second Sister to get in the carriage?”

n“I heard the Fourth Lady is going to be Prince Eighth’s princess soon.”

n“But that’s not the reason to be so cold-hearted.”

n“Tut tut tut, ignoring her own sister’s apology! How cruelhearted and childish!”

nHearing the clamours of comments, Feng Qing frowned, he didn’t like the way people talked about Her Highness.

n

n

nLuo Qianqian on the other hand wasn’t bothered by those people, she knew this was exactly what Luo Yuyan wanted.

n“Second Sister, I’m glad you’ve mentioned the past. Great, let’s talk about our past. Do you remember how you have bullied me, starving me and beating me up, I almost died from your poisoning, do you want me to say more? Because the list can go on and on. I’m lucky I’m still alive. There are certain things that I won’t forgive ever.” Luo Yuyan’s logic sounded more well-founded.

nBullying?

nStarving her?

nPoisoning her?

nAlmost died?

nThe onlookers shifted their ground, indeed what Luo Yuyan had done was didn’t deserve forgiveness.

nLuo Yuyan didn’t expect Luo Qianqian would go all the way, she had always thought ‘family troubles are not a thing to be talked about in public’, Luo Yuyan was shocked Luo Qianqian was stating what she had done to her in public.

nLuo Qianqian had no scruple at this point, she wasn’t afraid of Prime Minister Luo and his so called ‘domestic discipline’ any more, plus it was Luo Yuyan who had started it.

nLuo Yuyan narrowed her eyes, she decided to do what she did best — fake water works.

n“Fourth Sister, that is pure misunderstanding, I have been trying to help you, but Third Sister would bully you even harder every time I tried to stop her or tried to talk you up. But I know I’m wrong, that’s not the reason of not helping you, I was just I was afraid of our Third Sister and her mother!”

nLuo Qianqian suffered this nonsense poorly, she couldn’t help rolling her eyes with impatience, “Oh. So everything is Third Sister’s fault, you know what, you better go find Third Sister now and ask her to give you a ride. I really need to go now.”

nLuo Yuyan was petrified, no one knew what had become of Luo Keer and her mother since Prime Minister Luo found out that scandal, Luo Qianqian was obviously making fun of her!

n

n

n“Feng Qing, let’s go.”

n… …

nThe onlookers surrounded Luo Yuyan and kept talking about what Luo Qianqian just said, they didn’t know what to believe.

nLuo Yuyan’s eyes smoldered with anger and hatred, she swore she would revenge on Luo Qianqian!

nLuo Yuyan’s maid Hongyu managed to rent a carriage in the last minute and Luo Yuyan didn’t miss the Flower Admiring Gathering.

nLuo Qianqian sat in the carriage listlessly, Murong Yun’s face and the moments they had together kept flashing in her mind.

nLuo Qianqian found herself missing Murong Yun all the time, she thought about Murong Yun at lunch, she thought about Murong Yun at training, she was thinking about Murong Yun right now… …
