Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good

Chapter 74a: Has the Dowry Been Properly Prepared

Luo Qing Luan had never been a person who waded in mud and water (hesitant). Once she decided on something, she would quickly carry it out. After thinking over the present situation, she frowned as she looked at Nalan Ye. “Fine. It’s possible for me to marry you. However, we need to agree on three basic rules.”

“Go ahead.” A crafty light flashed through his eyes as Nalan Ye said indifferently.

“Firstly, without my permission, you can’t touch me casually. Even on the night of the wedding, we’ll still need to sleep in separate rooms.” As she spoke, Luo Qing Luan stared at Nalan Ye, not wanting to miss a single of his expression.

Nalan Ye didn’t say anything excessive at all, and only smiled slightly. “What else?”

“Secondly, even if I marry you and become your consort, you also can’t interfere with anything I do. You can’t get involved in anything that I want to do. Moreover, when necessary, you still have to give me the help I decided on. However, you can’t ask anything of me. If I’m not willing, you can’t force me. In short, I can make demands of you, but you can’t make demands of me!”

Couldn’t help but laugh, Nalan Ye shook his head helplessly. “Little lass, this condition of yours is quite harsh. Besides you, I’m afraid no one dares to say these things to this prince.”

“Thirdly, mm.....I still haven’t thought of the third condition, I’ll tell you later.” Luo Qing Luan stared at Nalan Ye as she continued, “So, I’ll like these things for the time being. If you agree, I’ll......”

“Fine. I agree.”

Stunned at Nalan Ye’s absence of the slightest hesitation, Luo Qing Luan again raised her guard. She couldn’t help but frown. “You agreed so quickly. You don’t have secret motives?”

A pampering gaze flashed across Nalan Ye’s eyes as he replied. “It’s wrong to agree. It’s also not possible to not agree. Then, what do you want from me?”

Luo Qing Luan became mute. She didn’t know what to say in response to his question. She then heard him chuckle and continued, “However, returning to the main topic, I’ve agreed with everything you asked, shouldn’t you also agree a little bit to a small request of mine?”

Luo Qing Luan knit her brows as she looked at him, “What request?”

“Since we’re going to get married, to outsiders, you’re my fiancee. We naturally should appear harmonious and treat each other with mutual respect. Therefore, I hope that when people are around, you can smile a bit more, and don’t excessively reject my kind intentions. That’s already enough. Even if you’re pretending, please pretend convincingly, alright?”

“Just this?” She suddenly felt somewhat disbelieving.

Would this man be this kind. Back then, he forced her to write a promissory note. It actually was for this little request?

Yet Nalan Ye only asked for this and even displayed a very understanding expression. Luo Qing Luan racked her brains and still couldn’t understand. How many faces did this man really have? Why did he appear cold and proud before people, taciturn and of few words, strangers kept at a distance. But facing her, he’d been more and more casual and also even acted so coquettishly, sometimes gloomy and cold, sometimes shameless. She had no idea what in the world his intention was to do this.

Guessing being of no use, Luo Qing Luan ultimately agreed to Nalan Ye’s request. The two of them agreed that they’d officially get married in three months.

Fifth Prince’s Mansion.

When she found out that Luo Qing Luan had actually been granted marriage by the emperor, on the verge of marrying the Prince of Chu, Nalan Ye, Luo Qing Shuang was simply stupefied.

Even if she heard Luo Qing Luan being wed to the crown prince, she wouldn’t have been so shocked, but Nalan Ye......how’s that possible?

“Mother, what in the world happened? Didn’t you tell me before that this damned girl won’t be able to continue living? Why is it that not only is she not dead now, she’s even marrying Nalan Ye?” Once she thought of Nalan Ye’s status, it was at a level that Fifth Prince simply could not compare to, Luo Qing Shuang couldn’t help but be worried. She and Luo Qing Luan were already like water and fire. If Luo Qing Luan really married Nalan Ye, how could she not take revenge on her, on her mother, maybe even retaliate against Nangong Chen?

Once she thought of this, Luo Qing Luan gnashed her teeth. Only with great difficulty was she able to marry Nangong Chen. They’d only been happy for a few days. How could this be allowed to be destroyed by Luo Qing Luan, that loathsome girl? What if Luo Qing Luan said something to Nalan Ye, causing His Majesty to dislike Fifth Prince even more, what’s to be done?

This was also what Wang Xue Ru was worried about.

She’d still underestimated that girl, Luo Qing Luan!

Seeing her daughter so worried, Wang Xue Ru’s complexion darkened as she said coldly, “Qing Shuang, what are you worried about? At present, that girl is only engaged to the Prince of Chu, that’s all. There are still three months left before she formally marries him. Currently, she’s still living at the General’s Mansion and is still a young lady from the General’s Mansion. As her father’s concubine, I’ll need to teach her some rules. Don’t tell me she can actually not listen? If she doesn’t listen to me, I don’t believe that she doesn’t listen to even her father’s words.”

Hearing this, Luo Qing Shuang’s eyes shined. “Mother, there’s not much time. You need to properly think of a plan. Teach this girl a lesson. Make her know that even if she married the Prince of Chu, don’t think that she’ll be able to do whatever she pleases! After all, we’re her sister and father’s concubine. If she dares to do anything to us, will she not be afraid that other people will say that she fails to respect her older sister, fails to be filial to her father’s concubine? If that happens, merely Father will likely be enough to beat her to death!”

Wang Xue Ru gloomily conjectured as she replied, “This is still not enough. It’s best if we can think of a way to make the Prince of Chu cancel their marriage. Now that would be a way to truly take that loathsome girl’s life! I’ll see if she still has any face to go on living!”

......

Ever since he found out that Luo Qing Luan would be married to Nalan Ye soon, the attitude displayed by Luo Cheng towards her had changed greatly. Although it still couldn’t compare with the kind of love he displayed towards Luo Qing Shuang, everytime he looked at Luo Qing Luan, there was still some form of a smiling expression on his face.

“My lady, recently, the master seemed to have changed into another person. Not only does he have you eat breakfast with them, he also purchased quite a few things for you.”

It was about seven to nine a.m. in the morning. The autumn sunshine was just right, warmly coming in through the window lattice. The room was illuminated by the sunlight making it seem quite a bit more lively. Dai Yue was watering the orchids bonsai that Luo Cheng had just sent someone to bring over. As she spoke with a smile, it was clear that she was quite pleased at the way things have been lately.
