Chapter 24: That Was Quite a Show (1)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
Ah~ here they came.
Luo Qianqian walked out of her room in a leisure way.
The blood stain in her room was cleaned up by Xiao Yue.
“Respected Prime Minister Luo, the First Lady, Master Luo and the Second Lady, greetings.” Xiao Yue walked to them and bowed.
Luo Qianqian didn’t move, she simply didn’t feel like it.
Of course Prime Minister Luo ignored Xiao Yue and marched in.
He looked around Luo Pavilion, he noticed something abnormal, the treasury door was broke in, there was a box lying in the hallway.
“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.
He orders the servants, “Go grasp this monster and beat her to death.”
What? Beating to death? Without even questioning her?
Couldn’t he notice Luo Pavilion was also broken in?
Luo Qianqian had to admit she had underestimated Prime Minister Luo, she shouldn’t have had thought he would show any fatherhood to her.
But to grasp her? And beat her to death?
Not that easy.
Luo 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?”
Xiao Yue, a little girl she was, but now she was standing in front of her lady trying her best to give her protection.
And 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.
So they were all hesitant to walk to her, especially when they looked at her in the eye, so intimidating!
“Prime Minister Luo, what has my lady done? Please don’t… …” begged Xiao Yue.
Even though she knew her lady was nothing to Prime Minister Luo all along, but she felt heartbroken when she heard “beat her to death”.
Xiao 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.
But what had her lady got in the end? Cold treatment!
He 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.
“What has she done? She knows it better than anyone.”
Luo Qianqian shook her head, “Father, please enlighten me, I really don’t know.”
Prime Minister Luo sneered, “All right, I will give you some solid evidence, Yuyan, come.”
The way he called Luo Yuyan, so gentle!
Luo Qianqian would have escaped if not for all those treasured sent by Prince Eighth.
She didn’t want to face anyone in the family, cold-hearted monsters.
“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.
“I don’t understand what you are talking about, Second Sister.” Luo Qianqian averted her eyes from Luo Yuyan’s wound.
Prime Minister Luo deemed as a sign of guilty.
He 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!”
“No, of course it was not me!” replied Luo Qianqian, her eyes turned red and she tried to suppress her emotions.
While actually she was very calm.
“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.
Luo Qianqian fumed, ‘What the heck? They managed to steal my necklace?’
That was not something she would like to tolerate!
Luo 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.”
Luo 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?”
Luo Yuyan now was more mad, did she just spoon feed Luo Qianqian an excuse?
“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.”
Prime Minister Luo was dumbfounded, he indeed found what Luo Qianqian said made perfect sense.
‘It’s not her?’
The crowd looked at each other, everyone was at a loss.
And 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?
Seeing 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.”
Luo Qianqian stared back, she saw through the First Lady and she wish she could skin this woman alive.
“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.”
The First Lady was choked.
“Father, I cannot even leave the mansion without your permission, how could it be me?”
