Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good Chapter 79.1 - Sinister Plan

Chapter 79a: Sinister Plan

Once he thought of the beloved wife who’d pa.s.sed away for fifteen years, Luo Cheng suddenly became even more furious. “You still dare to mention this! If it wasn’t for you, would your mother die from the difficult birth? At the time, I asked the midwife to do her utmost to save her. No matter at what cost, I would still pay it, but the outcome……”

Speaking to this point, Luo Cheng trembled from head to toe as he pointed at Luo Qing Luan and yelled, “Your mother insisted on protecting you and would rather go die! You’re the one who caused your mother to die, you jinx!” Having said this, he then raised his hand up high fiercely.

He slapped down severely. Luo Qing Luan’s snow white face immediately displayed a red imprint. It hurt so much that her gaze trembled. Not only did she not cry, her heart hardened instead as she rubbed her face and smiled coldly. “Fine, Father! You finally hit me again, heh heh……during these fifteen years, how many times have you hit me, do you still remember?”

The cold and chilly words was completely devoid of any hint of anger. Instead and strange tranquilness appeared. Luo Cheng suddenly recalled that the daughter before him already was no longer merely his daughter. She was also the future Princess of Chu, a status that was even more n.o.ble than his own.

He suddenly regretted it. Luo Cheng looked at his own hand, not believing that he had truly lost his rationality and carried out the slap.

“Qing Luan, Father……Father doesn’t really want to hit you……”

“It’s already been done. What more is there to explain?” Luo Qing Luan was so serene that it was scary. She p.r.o.nounced each word slowly, “In any case, this already isn’t the first time that you hit me. So what if you hit me one more time? No matter how much effort I make. No matter what extent I change myself, I’ll still forever fail to change my position in your heart.”

“That’s not true, Qing Luan, Father, Father is only being impulsive.”

Recalling how he had lost control just now and hit the future Princess of Chu, Luo Cheng panicked and attempted to explain. “If you hadn’t mentioned your mother, Father also wouldn’t have lost my sanity and hit you. Qing Luan, this, this matter is really a pain in Father’s heart. Will you forgive your father?”

Hearing Luo Cheng’s feeble and weak explanation, Luo Qing Luan knew that he was only worried about Nalan Ye finding out and blaming him. That’s why he regretted it. As for the words Luo Cheng spoke, she and him are merely related by blood. As for the most important love between father and daughter, it had already nearly been exhausted early on.

Expression chillingly cold, Luo Qing Luan calmly watched the fl.u.s.tered Luo Cheng, seemingly quite heartbroken over her deceased mother. Father had already been deceived by w.a.n.g Xue Ru’s dishonest rhetoric, and completely didn’t suspect anything. At present, he even hit her because of a few instigating words from w.a.n.g Xue Ru. Without asking about anything, also without in regards to what she might be feeling. Having this kind of father was truly tantamount to having none!

“I don’t blame you for hitting me. Truly. Even if you drive me away from the family, I still won’t be sad in the least.” Luo Qing Luan spoke emotionlessly, the pain on her face apparently already faded away, but her heart was numb with cold. At this moment, those words which she had held back for a long time was unwilling to continue to be hidden. Even if it’s the last try at waking up this stubborn, yet stupid man.

“It’s just that, Father, if there is to be one day when you find out that your enemy has been sharing a bed with you for fifteen years, how will you feel?”

Luo Cheng’s eyebrows knit deeply. The bit of guilt from his reckless anger just now has already been replaced with suspicion in the blink of an eye. He totally was unable to understand what Luo Qing Luan was saying. Would words like ‘sharing a bed’ be something that an unmarried young girl should say?

But because of his recent impulse to hit her, Luo Cheng in the end still restrained his temper as he stiffened his face and said, “Qing Luan, you’re getting married soon, you ought to abide by our customs and properly prepare. You haven’t been doing anything acceptable all day and even angered your father’s concubine. Right now, you even say these random nonsensical things. If word were to spread, it’d be bad for your reputation, understand?”

Seeing that Luo Cheng actually still had not suspected anything, Luo Qing Luan truly wanted to give up. She said coldly, “Father, it seems that you’re truly a dotard. Is it possible that you’ve never thought about why Mother died giving birth to me, why she suffered postnatal metrorrhagia, why she died so miserably!”

Pupils constricting, Luo Cheng suddenly clenched his fists and retorted, “What do you mean?”

He’d never suspected anything before. Even at that time, he also merely felt pain and distress. After his beloved wife pa.s.sed away, he used alcohol to drown his sorrows. From the start, a woman giving birth was indeed the same as traveling through the gates of h.e.l.l. A difficult birth was even more so nine parts death and one part life. Although he was unwilling to let go, both the midwife and the doctor said that the birth was difficult. Therefore, when the mishap occurred, he was already mentally prepared.

Yet now, fifteen years later, his daughter, Luo Qing Luan, actually said these things. Can it be she’s pointing out that there’s a problem with what happened at the time?

“You surely can’t imagine that the person who killed Mother is the woman who slept by your side for fifteen years, w.a.n.g Xue Ru!” When she spoke to this point, Luo Qing Luan clearly saw Luo Cheng’s disbelieving shock, as dumb as a wooden chicken, yet she didn’t stop at all as she continued, “If you don’t believe me, you can should recall what w.a.n.g Xue Ru was doing at the time. You should have some suspicions from that.”

“During these fifteen years, of all of the servants who used to wait upon Mother, how many remains? Where is midwife who helped Mother deliver at the time as well as the doctor now? It’s possible if we were to say that one or two of them has died, but everyone who was related to Mother are totally gone. Father, don’t you feel suspicious?”

Luo Qing Luan smiled melancholically, shaking her head. “You’ve already been hoodwinked by w.a.n.g Xue Ru. How can you suspect her? Even if w.a.n.g Xue Ru has formerly wanted to kill me countless times in the past, you also never suspected anything? This woman has covered everything up quite well, especially in front of you. But she’s the one who killed Mother and even sent people to kill my wet nurse. These are all facts. I personally saw it!”

Like a thunderbolt out of the blue, Luo Cheng stiffened all over. This news came too abruptly. He simply had no way of believing it.

His own beloved wife had actually been killed by his concubine. How’s that possible!

But each and every word his daughter, Luo Qing Luan, had spoken called his attention to the possibility that this wasn’t a fabrication, nor was to frame. She outlined everything in such detail, bit by bit and even pointed out various kinds of evidence. He wasn’t a fool. It’s just that he didn’t pay attention to these things previously. Now that they’d been pointed out, he also felt that something’s fishy.
