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

Bai Qianqian was shocked to be beaten.

Looking into those venomous eyes, Bai Luoluo smiled coldly.

"Everyone saw it, right? All the doting on me was fake. Bai Qianqian is Zhang Yiniang's biological daughter. They're only slandering me for their own daughter's sake." At this moment, Bai Luoluo's tears fell one by one. "I just missed my mother so much that I cried myself to sleep in front of her grave. Who has ever experienced the feeling of not having a mother?"

As Bai Luoluo finished speaking, some reasonable people immediately cast apologetic glances at her, after all, they had insulted her behind her back before.

"Miss Bai is so pitiful. It turns out she's having such a hard time. We've all misunderstood her before."

"That's right, look at how Aunt Zhang protects Bai Qianqian, but has she ever felt sorry for Miss Bai?"

............

"Please stop talking, everyone. It's all fate that my mother died when I was born."

Bai Luoluo wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes; these were tears she had shed from pinching herself so hard.

Her tears are incredibly valuable, like gold nuggets.

"Miss Bai, there's no need for that. We had some reservations about you before, but we won't do it again."

At this moment, a young man dressed in white stepped forward and spoke.

I don't really care about reputation.

My father taught me from a young age to prioritize the big picture and not to act impulsively.

My aunt and my younger sister Qian have really gone too far this time. I've been tolerating them, but they've only become more and more demanding. They can slander me however they want, but my father is fighting for his country and won't allow anyone to slander or defame him."

Damn it, anyone can be weak.

With her acting skills today, she refuses to believe she can't win over these two-dimensional characters.

“Miss Bai is right. A concubine of her status is indeed not fit for respectability, and her malicious intentions are obvious.”

“What you say is right, young master. I will not tolerate this again from now on.”

Bai Luoluo appeared frail and delicate, but her eyes held a firm and stubborn determination.

Some onlookers were moved by her actions.

This shows how desperately someone has been forced into this situation. A person who is usually weak, inarticulate, and timid can now speak so eloquently. It must be because they have suffered too many grievances to be able to do this.

At this moment, Bai Qianqian's eyes were burning with rage. She stared intently at Bai Luoluo, her ferocious and terrifying face full of resentment.

why?

Everything was going according to plan, but that bitch managed to circumvent her scheme once again.

Zhang Yuyao tightened her grip on Bai Qianqian's hand, her eyes filled with restraint and repression.

It seems this despicable person cannot be allowed to live.

Now that she's out of control, she has to kill him.

The humiliation they suffered today will be repaid a hundredfold or a thousandfold in the future.

"Luo'er, this matter was not well thought out by your aunt. I will apologize to the general when he returns."

Zhang Yuyao used a strategy of retreat to advance, hoping to suppress the matter.

"I don't care about your aunt's affairs, as long as you're happy. But please understand that I've been orphaned since childhood, my mother died early, and my father was always at war. Please stop slandering and insulting me."

Bai Luoluo covered her face, as if wiping away tears.

"Eldest sister, you've already hit me today, let's go back to the manor."

Bai Qianqian stood up, her cheeks swollen high.

"Xiaoya, how much is it in total?"

Seeing that things had come to a satisfactory conclusion, Bai Luoluo felt there was no need to stay any longer.

It's unlikely that we can defeat Zhang the Witch in one go; we'll have to wait for Bai Hao to return.

"A total of five thousand taels of silver."

Xiaoya said respectfully.

"Aunt Zhang, please give me the money!"

Zhang Yuyao frowned as she looked at Bai Luoluo.

She was furious; what did she buy that cost five thousand taels?

"Luo'er, how much did you buy? It cost so much money!"

"Clothes, jewelry, now I'm completely renewed from head to toe. I don't want to be controlled by others anymore and live a muddled life."

"What would you like to buy? You can have the steward of the manor make it to order."

“I remember my aunt bought a zither for Qianqian for over ten thousand taels of silver. Now I’m just buying a few clothes, what’s the point of you lecturing me like this?”

Zhang Yuyao was speechless for a moment upon hearing this.

“My elder sister can buy whatever she wants, but my aunt thinks that custom-made styles are more beautiful and unique.”

Bai Qianqian covered her cheek and said.

"I don't like custom-made items. I only like things from Linglong Pavilion now. Besides, don't I have the right to dispose of my father's salary?"

Stop babbling and just pay up already.

"Luo'er, don't be angry. Here are five thousand taels of silver."

Zhang Yuyao realized that no matter how much she said, she wouldn't be in the right today, so she decided to think of a solution after returning to her residence.

"Why should I be angry! Give me another ten taels of silver."

Zhang Yuyao glanced at Granny Li behind her and immediately took out another ten taels of silver.

Bai Luoluo reached out and took it, then handed it to Xiaoya.

"This bill is cleared."

"Thank you for your kind offer, Miss Bai. I hope to serve you again next time."

"Ah."

At this moment, Ye Ming slowly walked down, "The show is over, and it was indeed spectacular."

His smile instantly caused quite a stir.

"Who is this young master? He is so handsome."

"This person has an extraordinary bearing; he must be a young master from a prestigious family."

"I've never seen him before. Is he not from the capital?"

..........

Bai Qianqian looked over upon hearing the voice and was immediately captivated by Ye Ming's handsome appearance.

There are actually men more handsome than Gu Yanjin; they are truly rare in this world.

But who is this man?

Ye Ming slowly walked up to Bai Luoluo and looked at her with a smile.

That smile was chilling to Bai Luoluo.

He's laughing so heartily, is this guy alright?

Now that the show is over, what does he want to do when he comes out?

There was not a ripple in Bai Luoluo's eyes, and Ye Ming even saw disdain in her eyes.

He's so handsome, yet this woman remains unmoved; she's truly extraordinary.

Does she genuinely dislike Gu Yanjin, or is she just playing hard to get?

As far as he knew, Gu Yanjin intended to marry Bai Luoluo as a concubine.

The Grand General holds military power, and Gu Yanjin's actions are all for that position.

The two stared at each other in full view of everyone, neither looking away for even a moment.

For Bai Luoluo, Ye Ming was just a passerby, and they would never cross paths again.

"Miss Bai, we'll meet again someday."

Ye Ming looked away and spoke.

Hearing his voice, he turned and walked out.

Bai Luoluo frowned; she didn't want to see this person again.

Her intuition told her that this Ye Ming was not a simple person, and that he was very dangerous.

However, she never saw the name Ye Ming in the book.

That's really strange. Has the world in the book changed?

Or perhaps she didn't follow the book's original design, resulting in a confusion of characters.

What is the relationship between my elder sister and this young master?

Bai Qianqian was very curious about who this man was.

"none of your business."

"Why does my elder sister speak so rudely?" Bai Qianqian asked angrily. "Could this be the person my elder sister likes? I've never seen this young master before. Elder sister, don't get too caught up in this. I just want to learn more about his background so that I won't hurt you in the future."

Bai Luoluo sneered. This scoundrel probably just took a liking to her, and he put it so nicely.
