The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

A wildcat is still a wildcat; she can't live a peaceful life. After staying in Lan Yue Lou for a long time, she felt that she couldn't muster any interest in anything. However, since she had promised Xiao Yueyue that she would take good care of this place, she could only wander around the vicinity of the capital.

The capital city isn't very big, and there are only a few interesting places. After seeing them all, you get tired of them.

Now, as the owner of Lanyue Tower, Rongrong needs to be here often to catch all the news and then pass it on to Xiaoyueyue, just like her question, "Can I trust you?"

"Sigh! Little Yueyue, tell me, isn't this what they call 'one thing subdues another'? How did I end up taking a liking to you, little girl, and willingly becoming your spy? How many years of my life have I lost because of this? I guess I'll have more wrinkles on my face now."

As they were talking, Hua Xiangrong suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming her way. She looked down sharply and saw a face that looked exactly like Jian Yue, which immediately made Hua Xiangrong's eyes light up.

A slight smile played on her lips. While the man was still gazing at her with infatuation, she touched her lower lip with the tip of her tongue, beckoned to him with her finger, lowered the window, and looked at her fingernails as she chuckled softly, "Now, we won't be suspected of making contact. My love, come upstairs quickly, I've missed you so much."

As she spoke, Hua Xiangrong's eyes changed, and she said, "Go downstairs and tell Gu Yin to come up and see me."

"Yes."

A figure flashed by, and someone opened the door and left quickly.

Before long, the door was opened, and as it opened, the sounds of laughter and shouts from the first floor immediately reached Hua Xiangrong's ears. She listened for a moment and asked with a smile, "It's quite lively downstairs. These rich kids really know how to have fun."

Gu Yin, wearing a mask of Hua Xiangrong, walked in. After closing the door, she shut out the sound from before. When Hua Xiangrong asked her question, she said, "A young master from a noble family suddenly barged in. He is said to be a young general from the General's Mansion. The Second Prince and his men are trying to offer him a toast, and there's a stalemate."

Hua Xiangrong understood immediately, her eyes gleaming, and said, "Is that so? I didn't expect that the scions of noble families in Yue Kingdom are all so promiscuous. It's a real pity."

Gu Yin smiled and said, "What you say is true, otherwise, how could we have such memories? If it weren't for you, I believe that by now, the cellar in the backyard of Lan Yue Tower would be filled with several more corpses."

Hua Xiangrong waved her hand and said softly, "Don't thank me. If your master hadn't sent me to deal with that perverted woman, I would have already found a secluded mountain village, gathered a group of highly skilled and daring experts, formed a stronghold, and lived a life of robbing silver and handsome men."

"Sigh! It's pathetic that at my age, I'm still living a life of debauchery in this smoky, polluted place, wasting my time with a bunch of kids talking about love—it's so incredibly boring."

Gu Yin covered her lips and chuckled, "Only you, the host, would dislike Lan Yue Tower. Those young masters outside have been itching to take over our tower for a while now. If it weren't for the Second Prince keeping them in check, they probably would have already started making a scene."

Hua Xiangrong gave a wicked sneer: "Want to take over my building? Talk about easy! My women's army wasn't trained for nothing. Oh, speaking of which, I just remembered, how are those kids I sent out doing with their training?"

Gu Yin said, "Those children were all very weak, but thanks to the Lord's careful care, they have all recovered completely. In addition, some children recover quickly, and they have now advanced to the second stage."

Hua Xiangrong paused, her eyes showing surprise: "The second stage? It's much faster than I expected. Back then, how much inhuman treatment did I have to endure to get to the second stage? In this rudimentary ancient world, being able to rewind to the end of the first stage is already quite impressive for their age."

Gu Yin shook her head and said, "You may not know this, but most of these children are born into poor families. They are just trying to make a living. That woman is very ruthless. She takes her children out to meet guests as soon as they turn five."

These children have to endure far more than what you've seen them go through. Some of them have long since become numb to pain. Now, you've given them new life and hope. How could they not give it their all and unleash their full potential to repay you?

Hua Xiangrong shook her head and chuckled, her tone chilling.

"That woman? Yes, I've killed countless people in my life, but I've never seen such a vicious woman. But oh well, she's dead anyway, and her flesh has been eaten by those bastards downstairs. This resentment should dissipate now."

Tell them not to dwell on their past lives, but to look forward. The purpose of training them is not to make them repay a debt of gratitude, but to help them understand that there is a meaning to living, and that they should not live with regrets for the rest of their lives simply because of the word "repaying a debt of gratitude."

I remember two of them were already over thirteen, right? Are they in the second stage now?

The two thirteen-year-old children were girls, and it was the time when girls were going through puberty. Hua Xiangrong didn't quite believe that these two children had reached the second stage. After all, the training methods she wrote down were the methods used to train special forces in later generations. Ordinary people couldn't withstand them, let alone children.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yin laughed and said, "The host is really wrong. Among these children, especially these two, they are very hardworking. Because they are older, they have long been designated by that woman as cash cows. She is planning to sell their virginity on the Mid-Autumn Festival and make a fortune."

But regardless of whether they were in the city or the countryside, the Lord had arrived, and these two girls had saved themselves. How could they not be happy? And the grown-up children understood even more deeply how great the Lord's kindness was. Now, they did nothing but train.

Hua Xiangrong frowned immediately and said, "This is not appropriate. How can girls only know how to wield swords and spears? Go and call them back. Tell them I need to talk to them."

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door, and the same voice came from before, saying, "Master, Young Master Shangguan has come up. He says he wants to see the woman in this room."

Gu Yin frowned and looked over, then looked at Hua Xiangrong. Hua Xiangrong got up and walked to the chaise lounge, where she lay down with her head resting on her elbows. She said in a flirtatious tone, "Take off your mask, or you'll scare the people who come."

Gu Yin was puzzled, but she didn't ask any questions. She obediently took off her mask and retreated behind Hua Xiangrong.

"come in."

The door creaked open, and a young general in white robes walked in. His silver-white armor gleamed, shining brightly even without sunlight.

As he entered, he looked at the person on the chaise longue. His infatuation turned into surprise and delight. He stepped forward and asked, "What is your name, young lady? Where do you live? Are you married? Do you know if your parents are still alive? I am willing to go and propose marriage. I hope you will grant my request."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Hua Xiangrong raised an eyebrow and gazed intently.

Without even needing to confirm, she knew the person in front of her was definitely related to Xiaoyueyue. She thought of the joke in the letter that day, and suddenly smiled knowingly, asking, "The little general of the Shangguan family?"

Shangguan Hanque was taken aback by the question. He was initially troubled by his abrupt words, but he immediately perked up and replied, "That's right. My name is Shangguan Hanque. I don't know your name, young lady. I fell in love with you at first sight. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

Hua Xiangrong chuckled, pointed to herself, then to Gu Yin beside her who was dressed very provocatively, and said, "What the young general said is inexplicably heartbreaking. Everyone who comes here knows that this is a brothel."

And which of these girls isn't a woman struggling to make a living in this brothel? Their parents, once born, are now nowhere to be found. As for marriage proposals? They wouldn't even dare to dream of it. Even if we women were proposed to, at most we'd be concubines, and then suffer abuse from the first wife in the household. It's better to stay here and live a carefree life.”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hanque's face showed anxiety. He didn't care about looking bad and took another step forward. Suddenly, a woman in a tight-fitting outfit appeared in front of him and stopped him, saying, "Young master, you have overstepped your bounds."

Shangguan Hanque's steps came to an abrupt halt. He hurriedly retreated, his face flushed, and he stammered incoherently.

"I, I, I'm not, I..."

puff!

Hua Xiangrong couldn't hold back any longer; she burst out laughing and looked at Shangguan Hanque with amusement.

How can there be such a blockhead in this world? Could it be that this kind of wooden head is hereditary in Xiaoyueyue's family? Does my mother just like this kind of rigid blockhead? Damn it, no wonder I took a liking to this little brat Xiaoyueyue and sold myself for my whole life.

Hua Xiangrong got up and walked smilingly to Shangguan Hanque's side. She stretched out her slender arm and hung around his neck, instantly suspending herself in mid-air. Shangguan Hanque was startled and hurriedly reached out to help her, but unexpectedly his hands landed directly on Hua Xiangrong's shapely buttocks.

Instantly, Shangguan Hanque's eyes turned red. He abruptly let go, but because the person in front of him was the woman he had fallen in love with at first sight, he couldn't bring himself to remove her from his body. He could only spread his arms slightly in a half-hugging posture, which looked ridiculous and laughable.

Hua Xiangrong didn't care at all. So what if it's a butt? In modern times, her electric butt was coveted by many, and she was often slapped by perverts while doing missions. But now it was her favorite handsome boy who touched it, so why was she inexplicably excited?

Hua Xiangrong's expression changed, and she pouted, saying aggrievedly, "Didn't the young general say he liked me? Why did he let go of me as soon as he touched me? Aren't you afraid that my arm is too weak and I'll fall to the ground and get hurt?"

Shangguan Hanque was taken aback. His gaze shifted downwards, and he saw cherry-red lips swaying in front of him. He swallowed hard, trying to cool down his burning heart. His gaze continued downwards, and he saw a pair of fair, white... large feet swinging, and long, slender legs presented before his eyes.
