If he knew earlier that Luo Qing Luan was so stunning, how would Nangong Chen have been willing to cancel the engagement?

When he returned home that evening, Nangong Chen questioned Luo Qing Shuang regarding what in the world happened to Luo Qing Luan's appearance. Because of this, the two of them even had a big argument. Seeing Luo Qing Luan again now, why would Nangong Chen even bother with Luo Qing Shuang. He even casted his respected father-in-law aside as he quickly walked forward.

Nangong Chen stood outside of the pavilion, a face full of smiles as he spoke to Luo Qing Luan. "Younger Sister Qing Luan, when did you come? I didn't know about it and has truly slighted you. Please don't take offense."

With one glance at his smiling face and Luo Qing Luan felt disgusted as she replied indifferently. "I came together with Father's Concubine. Isn't Brother-in-Law greeting your guests out front? Why are you here?"

Luo Cheng also walked over and spoke after he hardened his face. "Qing Luan, is this any way to talk to Fifth Prince? Are you still not paying the proper respects?"

Nangong Chen immediately responded, "It's not a big deal, not a big deal. We're all one family. It's better to speak a bit more naturally, no matter."

Coldly casting a glance at him, Luo Qing Luan didn't even want to respond as she turned her head away.

Snagged on a nail, yet Nangong Chen didn't get angry in the least and instead he regretted even more how he previously had no eyes. When Luo Qing Shuang saw his anxious appearance, she ignited into anger on the spot and swung around to walk towards Luo Qing Luan. "Younger Sister, Chen is already no longer your fiance, so don't use that kind of expression to look at him anymore. He's my husband!"

"Exactly! I ask that Elder Sister properly look after your man and don't have him come looking for me to chat." Luo Qing Luan retorted coldly.

How could Luo Qing Shuang be a match for Luo Qing Luan? Her complexion immediately changed, as she charged towards Nangong Chen and shouted, "Chen, you're already married to me. What? You know that Younger Sister is pretty now, so you like her also? When you came home that day, you and I already got into an argument......"

"That's enough!"

Being stared at by everyone, including Luo Cheng and Wang Xue Ru at the scene, how would Nangong Chen want to get into an argument with Luo Qing Shuang. At once, his face hardened as he berated, "What are you making a fuss for? I've merely said a couple of things to Second Sister. Don't tell me that this can't be done? Worry about your own belly. Why don't you return to rest."

"Chen......" How could Luo Qing Shuang, who had always been pampered, endure getting scolded in public? She burst into tears.

"Father-in-Law, Mother-in-Law, sorry you saw that. Qing Shuang is pregnant, so her temper is a bit irritable." When all was said and done, Nangong Chen also didn't want to be excessive, so he had no alternative but to restrain his temper and speak some kind words. "Alright, with so many visitors here, it won't look good to make a big fuss. The pregnancy is important, so return to your courtyard and take a nap. After a little while, you should have a meal."

Seeing that Nangong Chen gave her a way out, Luo Qing Shuang also didn't want to get into an argument with him. She only glared daggers at Luo Qing Luan before she allowed her servant maid to support her and left with Wang Xue Ru.

In the end, Luo Qing Luan was actually left by herself. Even Luo Cheng didn't pay anymore attention to her. Fortunately, there was Dai Yue to keep her company, and she also didn't mind. Without anyone to bother her, she felt quite tranquil.

After returning from Fifth Prince's Mansion, for an entire half of a month, Luo Qing Luan basically stayed at her little courtyard and did not go out. When she finished writing a book, she would have Dai Yue take it to Boss Li. As for Heavenly Dream Tower......nowadays, its business was flourishing, raking in ten thousand taels of silver each day. Its popularity already spread throughout the entire capital. Even some merchants who came from East Wan Country, or South Yue also hung around Heavenly Dream Tower, reluctant to leave.

Hongyu, Ruyan, and Shimeng, these three young ladies, had truly became the leading courtesans at Heavenly Dream Tower. There were endless numbers of people desiring to see them. Luo Qing Luan also snickered. Fortunately Nangong Yu listened to her and maintained a mysterious, lofty, unyielding posture, practically turning those three young ladies into goddesses.

Men were indeed contemptible......

Luo Qing Luan laughed lightly as she shook her head and swept away her train of thought.

A zither was placed in front of her, and her fingers stroked it lightly. As she picked the strings, sweet sounding, gentle zither music floated like the babbling of running water, echoing inside the little courtyard. Actually, it's not like she suddenly took a liking to zither music, but rather, she originally was already an expert zither player in her previous incarnation and didn't want to get rusty. Therefore, she played a bit when she was free and practiced a little.

Speaking of the master from her previous life, the Ghost Doctor, he was truly a genius. His demeanor was elegant and graceful. Already over fifty years old, yet brimming with a masculine mature charm and as healthy as a man in his thirties. Not only was his medical skills top notch, even the four arts (zither, calligraphy, painting, Go), astronomy, geography, and all kinds of other skills were grasped by him. There was none that he wasn't proficient in.

As the Ghost Doctor's sole disciple, Luo Qing Luan naturally had been trained by him in all kinds of skills ever since she was little. She was originally already innately highly talented. After learning for many years, she also achieved seventy or eighty percent of her master's abilities. It's too bad......

The zither music gradually faded as Luo Qing Luan's hands stopped. She then took a bamboo flute that Dai Yue handed her and started blowing. The flute music was light, bright, and melodious as it started from her lips and rose upward, soaring into the sky, inducing a few little birds to fly onto the wall of the courtyard, twittering and echoing each other.

Once the song ended, Luo Qing Luan's hand finally stopped. Dai Yue was filled with surprise as she approached. Although she had already heard her mistress display numerous skills during this short period of time, she was increasingly amazed each time, causing her to have difficulty believing what she was seeing.

In the past, her mistress had learned these things, but how was she as good as she was now? Could it be that her mistress was hiding her skills in the past, unwilling to let others be aware?

"My Lady, Master has always said that girls should practice these things more and should be good at the four arts of zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting, as well as needlework, so that they can find a good husband in the future. If the Master were to know that you're so skilled, he will be very happy for sure." Dai Yue spoke happily.

Humph, would she care whether Luo Cheng was happy? Luo Qing Luan smiled indifferently, "I'm learning these skills not because I want to win anyone's favor. No matter if it's painting, writing, zither, or flute, these are all able to temper a person's character. Can it be that you don't feel that listening once in awhile also improves your mood?"

Dai Yue didn't understand. She only knew that the mistress' zither sounded good and nodded immediately. "En, yes, yes, My Lady, My Lady is really awesome. In the future, I'll listen to you play music everyday......"

Suddenly, she thought of something and stopped herself. She suddenly realized, "Oh! I know now. My Lady recently painted and practiced music everyday, Is it because you want to marry the crown prince?"
