《Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good》Chapter 31B: Luo Qing Shuang Wed
Advertisement
Nangong Yu had Mama Du announce that on the first and fifteenth of each month, the three young ladies will be able to receive guests, but they will only meet three people at most. As for during the other times, it will depend on whether the young ladies' mood was good or not.
Suspending people's appetite, in this way their worth would be maintained continuously.
In order to express his thanks towards Luo Qing Luan, Nangong Yu quickly delivered to her the forty percent share of profits that she deserved. Even though it hasn't been one month, Heavenly Dream Tower's business was already so fiery. He was absolutely not worried that there would be a loss.
When Luo Qing Luan personally went to withdraw the twenty five thousand taels of silver that Nangong Yu deposited for her, she couldn't help but sigh. The courtesan house's business was truly a money making one.
In a short while, she made close to thirty thousand taels of silver. Luo Qing Luan didn't linger at all and immediately visited the best pharmacy in the city to buy many precious hundred year old mountain ginseng, also fire reishi mushroom, as well as every kind of rare medicinal ingredient.
Last time, she refined poison to disable a person, but did not refine any antidotes.
Moreover, she also wanted to always have certain medicinal ingredients on hand, so as to avoid having to look for them when they're needed urgently.
Seeing how nearly half of the money she just had on hand was already spent away, Luo Qing Luan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sure enough, it's easy to spend money, but difficult to make it. She still had not done anything, yet over ten thou
sand taels of silver was already gone.
As before, she placed the remaining banknotes in the secret compartment at the head of her bed. Luo Qing Luan then got up to see Dai Yue come in.

"My Lady, the side madam will be sending the eldest lady away very soon."
Unconsciously, half of a month had already passed. Today was the day that her older sister, Luo Qing Shuang was to be married.
It's just too bad. Because of the disturbance caused by the erotic illustrated book, the eldest daughter from the grand General's Mansion was bestowed by His Majesty to Fifth Prince, Nangong Chen as a minor concubine. Moreover, they also could not recklessly make arrangements. It was easy to know how depressed Luo Qing Shuang must be feeling at this moment.
"Oh? This is the time?"
Luo Qing Luan couldn't help but smile. "Let's go. We'll go to take a look."
Following the limestone pathway, they arrived at the courtyard where the side madam, Wang Xue Ru, and Luo Qing Shuang resided at. They had yet to enter, when from a distance, they heard the sound of weeping. And around the courtyard, only some red silk were hung, barely enough to be festive. As for the other places, they didn't look the least bit lively like a wedding would be.
"Mother......daughter don't want to get married anymore......"
Don't know whether it's because she felt wronged when she thought about getting married in this way, or because Luo Qing Shuang heard something, but she cried to the point she seemed to be made of tears as she threw herself into Wang Xue Ru's bosom.
Luo Cheng uncharacteristically did not scold her. Instead, his expression was cloudy and steady and also appeared very gloomy. Some of the servants didn't even dare to approach. Each and every one of them hid in the distance and didn't dare to come forward for fear of touching upon their master's bad luck.
Having guessed some things, Luo Qing Luan pretended that she didn't know anything as she approached them and lightly said, "Father, today is Elder Sister's big day. Even though we can't make an ostentatious display, we should still be happy. Why is Elder Sister crying instead?"

"It's nothing. All girls are like this when they're getting married." Luo Cheng wasn't in a good mood as he spoke.
How would it be proper for him to tell his two daughters that a few days before he was to wed his daughter, Nangong Chen spent ten thousand taels of silver just to win the favor of a courtesan?
When this news spread to his ears, he was furious without end. Luo Qing Shuang was even more directly aggrieved and cried loudly.
But what else could she do?
His Majesty personally made a verbal decree. Was it even possible to renege on this marriage?
The more he listened to this weeping, the more he felt agitated. Luo Cheng waved his hand and spoke heavily. "That's enough. Don't keep weeping. If Fifth Prince were to hear of this, I'm afraid your future days will be even more miserable."
"Master, our Qing Shuang still hasn't been wed, yet Fifth Prince has already done this. If Heavenly Dream Tower won't release him, will Fifth Prince plan to bring a courtesan home? Won't this humiliate our General's Mansion?"
Wang Xue Ru was distressed and unreconciled again. Qing Shuang is her precious daughter. She's already been wronged being sent over there as a minor concubine. Only now did she know that Nangong Chen actually also liked to visit courtesan houses?
"Father, how can Fifth Prince do that......you have to stand up for your daughter's sake." Luo Qing Shuang wept to the point her eyes were swollen.
Originally, she cherished the person she was going to marry. Those sweet words seemed as if they still lingered by her ears. But in a flash, he actually already liked someone else. Luo Qing Shuang simply couldn't stop herself. Tears falling down like a broken string of pearl.
"That's enough!"
With an angry shout, Luo Cheng's gloomy face shouted. "That person was chosen by you. The one who originally wanted to marry Nangong Chen was also you. Now you're regretting it? Hurry and shut up for be. Obediently marry over there, or else if His Majesty finds out, our entire General's Mansion is going to be out of luck."
"Master, please speak a few words less." Wang Xue Ru promptly responded.
"You hurry and prepare her well. Don't miss the auspicious time!" After Luo Cheng finished speaking, he left with a dark face.
"Master! Master......" Seeing how Luo Cheng didn't respond when she called, Wang Xue Ru also gave up. Once she turned, her gaze fell upon Luo Qing Luan standing at a not so distant place.
Not wanting to pay any attention to her, Wang Xue Ru quickly wiped her daughter's tears and deliberately said loudly. "Good daughter, don't dry. You're so beautiful. Once you're married off, Fifth Prince will like you for sure. Hasn't he always been good to you? As long as you treat him well, and obtain his heart, you can have him promote you to the position of a side consort, or maybe even a consort is not impossible."
"In any case, you're still better compared to a certain person whose engagement had been broken and won't be able to marry in the future."
Apparently having accepted Wang Xue Ru's words, Luo Qing Shuang nodded and held in her hate as she looked at Luo Qing Luan. "Mother, I will become a genuine Fifth Prince Consort for sure!"
She walked to face Luo Qing Luan and spoke one word at a time. "Younger Sister, you just wait and see."
Facing Luo Qing Shuang not avoiding provocation at all, Luo Qing Luan just smiled faintly. "Is that right. Then I'll congratulate Elder Sister beforehand for having your wish come true."

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
