A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

Bai Luoluo coughed incessantly and looked up somewhat disheveled.

The man was dressed in black, his brows slightly furrowed, exuding an air of evil, both alluring and dangerous.

His face was exquisitely beautiful, comparable to Gu Yan's.

"I'm sorry, I just got burned by the tea."

Bai Luoluo apologized verbally, repeatedly patting her chest with her fingers, as she choked and felt extremely uncomfortable.

The man's eyes flashed with a faint murderous intent, but he remained silent.

"I can pay for your clothes, young master. What do you think?"

Bai Luoluo knew she was in the wrong, but she also sensed the murderous intent.

This man is dangerous; you must stay away from him.

At that moment, faint whispers came from the two tables in front.

"Have you heard? The General's eldest daughter has gone missing."

"Not returning home at night, this Miss Bai is truly vulgar and shameless."

"It's not just the General's Mansion that's searching; it seems the Third Prince is also sending people to look for her. I suspect this young lady may have eloped with a stranger."

“You’re right. There are rumors that she tried to seduce the Third Prince at the Grand Princess’s residence and was beaten up by Miss Liu.”

"How could this happen? This Miss Bai is truly shameless."

...........

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Bai Luoluo's eyes, and she thrust the silver needle in her hand directly at the speaker.

"what are you doing?"

The man, dressed in coarse cloth, only felt a slight bump.

"Sorry, I twisted my ankle."

As Bai Luoluo spoke, she turned her hand and inserted a silver needle into another person.

"What bad luck to run into a beggar."

The two men were cursing and swearing, as if Bai Luoluo were a plague.

Bai Luoluo didn't take it to heart, since they quickly shut up.

Zhang the witch knows she hasn't returned to the Zhang residence and is searching for her extensively.

She was clearly afraid others wouldn't know she didn't come home at night; she really had a clever plan.

“Wuwu…”

The two men who had been talking the loudest suddenly became unable to move or speak.

If even grown men can be so talkative, then let them sit here for an hour and shut their dog mouths.

Bai Luoluo's subtle movements were all observed by the charming man, who stared at the disheveled woman before him.

Interesting, he even knows medicine.

"Young master, how much did your clothes cost?"

Bai Luoluo drank two cups of tea and then stuffed two pieces of pastry into her mouth.

She was rushing back to the manor not to clarify things, but because she was afraid that Xiao Tao would be implicated and punished.

Zhang the witch is ruthless and might beat Xiao Tao.

"This outfit of mine is worth a thousand gold pieces. Are you sure you want to compensate me?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoluo almost spat out her drink again.

What the hell?

It is worth a fortune.

"Young master, please don't joke. Your fabric is of the finest quality, but it's a bit too much to be worth a thousand gold pieces. I'm not some sucker. Are you trying to extort me?"

I could easily buy a hundred sets with my thousand taels of gold.

"If this young lady doesn't want to pay compensation, that's fine too; it's just a piece of clothing."

The man had a slight smile in his eyes as he tapped his fingers back and forth on the table.

"It's not that I won't compensate you, it's just that your price is too high. How about you come into town with me and buy an outfit you like?"

It was her fault for getting hurt, and she will take responsibility for it.

The man couldn't help but chuckle at Bai Luoluo's shrewd appearance.

It seems like it's been a long time since I've met such an interesting person. Their skill with silver needles just now was truly masterful.

Despite his young age and exceptional medical skills, why is he so impoverished?

"Alright, but I don't usually wear ordinary fabrics. This outfit was custom-made by Linglong Pavilion. Since Miss has put it that way, shall we go to Linglong Pavilion to choose one?"

Upon hearing the words "Linglong Pavilion," Bai Luoluo searched her memory.

It used to be a place in the capital that sold jewelry and clothes.

"it is good."

Bai Luoluo stood up, searched her pockets, and found that she had no money.

Looking at the shopkeeper with an embarrassed expression, he asked, "Can I send someone to deliver it tomorrow?"

The man sat in the chair, watching Bai Luoluo's embarrassed appearance, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

She just said she'd compensate him for his clothes, but she didn't even have money for tea. How could she say that?

"I'm sorry, miss, our tea stall is a small business and we don't offer credit."

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with disdain: "If you don't have money, why drink tea?"

Bai Luoluo fumbled around until she found only a hairpin in her hair, which she immediately removed.

"This will be used to pay off the debt."

The shopkeeper looked at the hairpin in front of him and knew it was of superior quality.

"The hairpin can be used as a discount."

Bai Luoluo, her hair disheveled, was touching the jade pendant in her hand.

Hey!

If Gu Yan hadn't taken her off the cliff, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

"Young master, we can leave now."

Bai Luoluo gave an awkward smile.

"Miss, are you sure you want to go to Linglong Pavilion?"

Being so poor, wouldn't they be beaten to death inside the Linglong Pavilion?

The man in black crossed his arms and looked at Bai Luoluo with raised eyebrows.

"Why not go? I promised to compensate you for your clothes. I always keep my word."

Bai Luoluo finished the last sip of tea, then turned and left.

Seeing this, the man in black shook his head helplessly and followed closely behind.

He wanted to see how this woman would pay.

The two walked one after the other, neither of them saying another word.

After entering the city, Bai Luoluo turned around and asked, "Where is Linglong Pavilion? Please lead the way."

Upon hearing this, the man felt that Bai Luoluo was rushing to her death.

"Okay, come with me."

Seeing this, Bai Luoluo followed closely behind the man.

The man led Bai Luoluo through the bustling streets, and soon stopped.

"Miss, we've arrived at Linglong Pavilion."

"Luxurious, grand, and classy, ​​it's clearly a high-end store. This young master has excellent taste."

Bai Luoluo spoke in a cool tone, but was generous with her praise.

"Miss has good taste. Now that we're here, let's go in."

A smile flashed across the man's face.

"Ah."

Bai Luoluo nodded, lifted her foot, and walked inside without pausing for a moment.

Seeing her like this, the man knew that Bai Luoluo was not lying and really wanted to compensate him for his clothes.

However, the clothes here are quite expensive, and this woman doesn't seem to have anything valuable on her.

She even pawned her hairpin at the teahouse; was she naive or truly fearless?

The man followed Bai Luoluo inside.

Linglong Pavilion.

The interior is very large, with counters on both sides. The overall structure has three floors, with jade flooring and many exquisite porcelain and jade artifacts. It can truly be described as dazzling and precious.

There were many men and women selecting jewelry inside the shop.

As soon as Bai Luoluo entered, a woman walked over. She was dressed in exquisite clothes, with a simple and elegant style. She had delicate features and looked quite young.

"Miss, would you like to buy jewelry, porcelain, or clothing? I will introduce them to you one by one."

The woman spoke respectfully, but a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

After all, Bai Luoluo's disheveled appearance didn't suggest she was from a wealthy family.

"Pick a dress for this young master."

Bai Luoluo pointed to the man beside her.

When the woman saw the man's face, a blush instantly spread across her cheeks.

"What style does the young master prefer?"

Her tone was a bit more coquettish than before, which gave Bai Luoluo goosebumps.

Damn it!

Why did I suddenly go into heat?
