Chapter 92a: Jealous Big Time

The poisoned person had already been cured. The matters left over didn’t need Luo Qing Luan to worry about them. Even though Nalan Ye urged her to eat a meal before going home, Luo Qing Luan still didn’t agree to it.

At this juncture, Wang Xue Ru seemed to have vanished. Even more anxious that Luo Qing Luan would be wedded soon, she basically didn’t step away from her own Graceful Orchid Courtyard, while Luo Cheng was like a fish back in the water. Besides attending imperial court, and these kinds of unavoidable matters, the rest of his time was spent hanging out together with Hongyu, Zhangzhi and Songzhi.

Having received word from Luo Qing Luan early on, not only did Zhangzhi and Songzhi do their best to ingratiate themselves with Luo Cheng, even Hongyu, for the sake of giving birth to a son, focused all of her mind on Luo Cheng. Even though Luo Qing Luan sometimes also felt bad that Hongyu was so young, yet had to be together with the almost fifty years old Luo Cheng, each person had their own ambitions. Hongyu only want to have a home she could be at and break away from her lowly origins. Everything else was unimportant.

On the other hand, Mr. Yu from Immortal Dream TowerLuo Qing Luan sent people to find Luo Qing Luan, wanting her to give him some more pointers. It’s just that she’s had too many things to do and didn’t have time. Today, she received Mr. Yu’s invitation again. Thinking it wasn’t good to decline again, she also wanted to see the situation at Immortal Dream Tower, so she should just go.

As before, she changed into male clothing and dressed as an attractive scholar. Even though Luo Cheng usually didn’t care at all about Luo Qing Luan going out, she’s headed for Immortal Dream Tower this time, so it’s better to dress as a man.

It was morning. The nighttime clamor and carousing at Immortal Dream Tower had once again sunk into sleep. Compared with the surrounding shops’ bustling noise and liveliness, it seemed completely deserted.

That fellow who was watching the door again looked drowsy. He didn’t even notice that Luo Qing Luan came. She only smiled slightly then stepped through the door. Mama Du already knew earlier that Luo Qing Luan was coming. Once she saw Luo Qing Luan, her eyes shined and quickly welcomed her upstairs before respectfully withdrawing herself.

Somewhat beyond Luo Qing Luan’s expectations, besides the owner, Mr. Yu, she surprisingly also saw Nalan Ye here. The relationship between the two of them were already no longer as guarded and unfamiliar as the first time they met. Luo Qing Luan was startled but for a second, then she frowned and walked over, “Nalan Ye, you’re actually visiting a courtesan house again?”

In regards to Luo Qing Luan’s astonishment, Nalan Ye also didn’t expect it. However, he instantly figured it out as he turned his head around and said to Nangong Yu, “You asked her to come?”Although his voice was indifferent, someone familiar with Nalan Ye could tell from experience that he was a bit displeased.

Nangong Yu didn’t think about it much, especially because he didn’t have any other thoughts about Luo Qing Luan, so he overlooked this point. He smiled and said, “Oh yeah, Ziqing, you don’t know it, but this fiancee of yours is very difficult to invite. I’ve already invited her four or five times. She finally gave me face this time and came.” He chuckled ‘he he’ and waved to Luo Qing Luan, “Worthy Young Brother Luo, come sit down.”

Just as he finished speaking, he reacted and slapped his own head. “Sigh. I’m so used to calling you that. I obviously already knows that you’re female and even someone who Ziqing is going to wed. It’s just hard to change my mouth in a short time.”

Luo Qing Luan glanced at Nalan Ye and nodded. “It’s nothing. We can just call each other as before. Don’t pay any attention to him. Just call me whatever you’re used to.”

That person actually didn’t respond at all and maintained a cold and detached appearance instead. Could it be that he regretted giving her two million taels yesterday? If it wasn’t for the fact that she made a trip today, it’s possible that she still wouldn’t have known that he visited these pleasure quarters again. She wondered how many times he’d come behind her back! Hateful!

Luo Qing Luan indescribably felt unwell in her heart, yet didn’t know why. Pondering it over, maybe it’s because of Nalan Ye’s apathetic face.

Yesterday, she even helped him save a person’s life. In the blink of an eye, his attitude changed already, indeed destroying the bridge after crossing the river.

Thinking to this point, Luo Qing Luan couldn’t help but become angry and no longer felt like bothering with Nalan Ye. Acting like ‘each minding their own business’, she said to Nangong Yu, “That’s right, Mr. Yu, did you look for me, because of Immortal Dream Tower’s business?” Speaking casually, she swept a glance downstairs from the decorative railings at the arrangement which had been made roughly according to her directions at the beginning. There was just a little bit more ornamentation. Even the presentation stage had also been renovated and seemed even more refined, almost untouchable.

“Worthy Young Brother Luo is indeed intelligent. Nangong Yu smiled as he continued, “After you gave some pointers last time, our Immortal Dream Tower has already occupied an absolutely indisputable position in first place. Even the second place Exquisite Flowers Pavilion and third place Maquillage Place has also been thrown off far behind. Two days ago, Maquillage Place’s second ‘queen of flowers’, Ms. Miao’Er, even sent someone to suggest that she’s thinking of coming to our Heavenly Dream Tower.

Luo Qing Luan said, smiling faintly, “Since it’s like this, then Mr. Yu, why are you still inviting me to talk business?”

With a wave of his hand, Nangong Yu poured a cup of green tea and placed it in front of Luo Qing Luan, “Worthy Young Brother Luo, these are old tea leaves picked from the plants at SuiMeng Hill thousands of miles away. In the entire country of Western Chu, there are only two catties. I’m using tea in place of wine to toast you. If you like, I have two hundred grams more here. It’s also good if you take it home for a taste.”

Steam from the tea rising in spirals, Luo Qing Luan hadn’t approached before she already smelled a calming fragrance.

Even though wasn’t much in the habit of drinking tea, since this tea was so rare, she also had some interest in it. Lightly pursing her lips to take in a mouthful, Luo Qing Luan discovered how this tea stood out from the masses. Not only was there a fragrant after taste, it was even faintly sweet. Certainly not like the sweetness from fruits or perhaps candy. It was indescribable, but the taste was superb.
