Concubine Chang was relatively relieved about Luo Lan. During this period, she often secretly sent people to watch her. Seeing that she did not show any signs of leaving, she did not care about the mere two hundred taels of silver. This way, she could justify herself in front of the emperor and the people.
No matter what big mistake Leng Yu made, it would be unacceptable for her as a mother to ignore him.
Luo Lan only thought that the silver was exchanged for Yu Ruyi, and Leng Yu must not know about this.
In the evening, she called Ayu and Ahou, and they stood in front of her, waiting for her to speak.
She exhaled coldly, then said:
"I'll give you a task, do you dare?"
The more cautious Ayu asked carefully, "Princess, please speak."
Ah Hou patted her chest and said, "I dare you. There's nothing I dare not do."
A sly look flashed across Luo Lan's crystal eyes. After pondering for a while, she slowly said:
"I don't want you to kill anyone or set anything else on fire. Just go to the house of that lawyer surnamed Hu and steal something."
Hearing her say this, Ah Hou and Ah Yu looked at her in astonishment, "Princess, this...we have never stolen anything!"
Seeing the two of them panicking, Luo Lan smiled and waved his hands, narrowing his eyes and whispering, "Because he robbed me today, I have to take revenge!"
They heard that the princess was robbed by Master Hu. Although they both felt that this was a little unbelievable, the princess would not lie. A Yu also pursed her lips and nodded.
"We dare to go, and everything will be up to the princess."
Luo Lan had never thought of robbing the ill-gotten gains, but she would not be able to accept it if she didn't teach someone like Master Hu a lesson.
Then she said to them:
"You don't need to steal gold and silver..."
Having said this, she waved to the two of them. They leaned their heads closer and listened to her mumbling a few words, both of them chuckled.
The next morning, the door of the first master's house in Shuntian Prefecture in the capital was crowded with people watching the fun. Ahou and Ayu, following Luo Lan's orders, waited there to watch the fun so that they could report to Master Hu about his embarrassing situation when they returned.
The servants of Master Hu's house were stunned by the scene in front of them as soon as they opened the door. They didn't have time to think about why so many people came to the door, so they hurried to inform Master Hu.
Master Hu was still dreaming sweet dreams while hugging his concubine when he was awakened by a knock on the door. He roared in displeasure.
"Calling the soul so early in the morning?"
"Master, there are a lot of people gathered at our gate. I don't know what they are doing. Go out and take a look!"
Hearing this, Master Hu instantly perked up. What were these people doing gathered at the gate so early in the morning? Could something have happened?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly got out of bed, put on a coat and ran outside.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the gate, the people gathered outside were pointing at him.
The crowd went wild after he came out. Everyone started pointing at him and laughing. Master Hu looked at these people in bewilderment, gesturing with his hands.
"What are you doing so early in the morning? Is there anything interesting to see?"
There were still people in the crowd laughing, and Ah Hou took advantage of the confusion and shouted,
"Master Hu is really elegant, he likes to wear red shorts! And that bellyband, is it also worn by Master Hu? Just wear it! Why hang that thing at the door? Hahaha..."
Hearing him say this, everyone started to laugh. Master Hu then frowned and looked in the direction the crowd was pointing. When he saw the bright red panties and pink women's bellyband hanging on the plaque, he immediately became furious and his face turned ashen. Those were the clothes that he had torn off and thrown into his concubine's room when he was having sex with her last night. Why were they hanging there so early in the morning?
He turned angrily and yelled at the servant who was trying to hold back his laughter, "Are you blind? Take it off quickly..."
Seeing his embarrassed look, the crowd burst into laughter again. Master Hu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He gritted his teeth and gasped.
"Who did this? Let me find out, I won't let them off easily..."
Looking at his hysterical and crazy roar, Ayu and Ahou narrowed their eyes and smiled at each other, then turned and walked through the crowd towards Prince Yu's Mansion.
After they returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, they told Luo Lan everything about the incident. Luo Lan said directly to A Cai:
"Ayu and Ahou have behaved very well. Go inform the kitchen to give them an extra meal at noon today."
Ah Hou and Ah Yu clasped their fists cheerfully and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Luo Lan said again:
"You two, take some people and clean up the main hall for me. Put away the carpets and other things that are hard to clean up, and move all the useless ornaments to the backyard. Put a table there for me and get some chairs."
Ayu looked at her in surprise, "Princess, what do you want to do?"
Ah Hou also asked in confusion:
"Why are you cleaning out the main hall? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong there!"
Luo Lan glanced at the two of them, narrowed his eyes and said mysteriously:
"I want to open a clinic."
Hearing this, the Empress looked at her in surprise, "Princess, you want to open a clinic? This... this is against the rules. How can you open a clinic in a royal palace?"
"So what's wrong?" Luo Lan frowned and looked at him. "The court has cut off our salaries. We have to earn our own livings and eat and drink! If I don't make money, you will all starve to death."
A Yu pursed his lips and clenched his fists, saying, "I think if this goes well, the imperial court wants to starve us to death, and we won't let them have their way. However, hiring a doctor is a considerable expense. Excluding the doctor's fees, how can we still make money? Otherwise, why don't we sell medicine? We can set any price, and we can make more money that way."
Ah Hou sighed, "Alas! There are many doctors and pharmacies in the city. Who would buy our medicine if we charge too much? Besides, who would be willing to work here if they have medical skills? Unless they pay a huge price... Or should we open a restaurant?"
