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

Bai Luoluo went straight into the mansion. She was worried about Xiao Tao and did not notice the strange looks from the guards.

She went straight to Xue Luo Courtyard.

"Xiao Tao..."

Bai Luoluo tried calling several times, but found that Xiao Tao didn't seem to be there.

Seeing this, Bai Luoluo turned and left Xueluo Courtyard, where she ran into two maids.

"Have you seen Xiaotao?"

The two maids bowed gracefully.

"Reporting to Miss, Xiao Tao has been ordered by the steward to be locked in the woodshed."

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoluo was furious.

Damn it, how dare they bully my Tao!

"Take me to the woodshed."

"Yes."

After turning left and right, the maid led Bai Luoluo to a spot not far from the woodshed.

Two old women were beating Xiao Tao in the woodshed.

"You lowly servant girl, how dare you not tell the truth?"

Xiao Tao was tied up in the woodshed, her hair was disheveled, there was blood at the corner of her mouth, and her cheeks were swollen from being beaten.

His clothes were torn from being whipped all over; there wasn't a single good spot on his body.

"Where did the young lady go? This servant truly does not know."

Xiao Tao's voice was weak and trembling, and her whole body was shaking.

"Tell me the truth, who did the young lady elope with? You'll avoid physical punishment."

The old woman with a fierce face held a leather whip and lashed out with it.

Xiao Tao held back her tears and did not scream.

She was already numb to the pain at this moment, and she would have no regrets if she really died here.

"This servant...does not know."

When the old woman saw that she still didn't speak, "smack..." and several more lashes came down.

"A wise man submits to circumstances. You'll suffer no good if you follow the young lady. These days, Aunt Zhang is in control of the General's Mansion."

"Even if you beat me to death today, I will not know anything."

Xiao Tao's eyes were filled with tears, and her whole body was trembling, indicating that she had reached her limit.

"You little slut, you're not afraid of death! Today I'll grant your wish."

The old woman's eyes were filled with resentment as she brandished her whip and charged straight at Xiao Tao.

At that moment, Xiaotao closed her eyes in despair.

"stop--"

Bai Luoluo kicked open the door and rushed forward, kicking the old woman away.

"what........"

The old woman screamed and rolled to the ground.

Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Tao opened her eyes and saw Bai Luoluo, who looked like a fairy, standing in front of her.

A wave of grievance washed over me, and tears streamed down my face.

Bai Luoluo squatted down and helped her untie the ropes.

"I'm sorry, I came back late."

Bai Luoluo felt heartache and self-blame in her eyes. It was all her fault for being careless and causing Xiao Tao to suffer.

At that moment, her eyes were completely red.

"Miss, Xiaotao is in so much pain."

At this moment, Xiao Tao held Bai Luoluo in her arms, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, tears soaking her clothes.

"Don't cry, sweetie."

Bai Luoluo patted Xiao Tao's back to soothe her emotions.

The two old women exchanged a glance; they hadn't expected Bai Luoluo to return so quickly.

After calming Xiao Tao down, Bai Luoluo had the two maids who had led the way help Xiao Tao.

Her eyes were icy cold as she picked up the leather whip from the ground.

"You two lowly slaves deserve to die."

The whip lashed out in Bai Luoluo's hand, each strike landing on the two old women.

"Smack..."

"what.........."

Immediately, screams of agony rang out.

"Young Miss... we were wrong, we will never do it again."

The two old women immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"You two old bastards are truly wicked; you will surely die today."

Bai Luoluo slapped a few more times.

A dagger appeared in her hand, and she swiftly moved towards the two old women.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered everywhere, and the two were killed by Bai Luoluo with a single stab.

Xiao Tao and her two maids were immediately terrified.

They were so terrified that their legs went weak. They never expected Bai Luoluo to kill two old women.

At this moment, the steward came over with two guards.

Bai Luoluo was holding a dagger; the two old women were already dead.

Blood stained the entire woodshed.

"Young Miss, why did you kill Granny Zhang and Granny Yang?"

The butler stepped forward, his tone questioning, showing no respect whatsoever.

"I am your master, and you are my slave." Bai Luoluo raised her eyes, a flash of murderous intent crossing her brows. "If you want to die, I will send you to keep these two old bastards company."

Seeing the murderous intent emanating from Bai Luoluo, the butler was so frightened that he took a step back.

The two guards stared at Bai Luoluo, both of them momentarily stunned.

"This old servant dares not, but these two old women are Zhang Yiniang's personal servants. If the young lady kills them like this, I'm afraid Zhang Yiniang will be displeased."

The butler's face turned pale, but he still brought up Zhang Yuyao.

What's wrong with this young lady? Why is she so intimidating?

In the past, the original owner was most afraid of making Aunt Zhang unhappy.

There was still blood on the dagger. Bai Luoluo used the clothes of two old women to wipe it, her movements slow and deliberate, each one making everyone's heart skip a beat.

“I am the legitimate daughter of the General’s Mansion. What is Aunt Zhang? You are all taking my father’s money. You should know who is the master.”

Bai Luoluo turned around and put the dagger away.

She walked step by step to Xiao Tao's side, and the two maids were so frightened that they backed away.

Xiao Tao kept her eyes on Bai Luoluo. Although she was scared, she knew that Bai Luoluo was avenging her.

Thinking of this, all my fear turned into warmth.

"Xiao Tao, I'll take you back to heal your wounds." Bai Luoluo picked you up in her arms. "What are you waiting for? Go and fetch the doctor from the manor."

Seeing Bai Luoluo's cold tone, the butler dared not act rashly again.

"Yes."

Bai Luoluo ignored everyone, picked up Xiao Tao, and turned to leave.

“Miss, I can walk by myself.”

Seeing Bai Luoluo's clothes stained red with blood, Xiao Tao felt extremely guilty.

What could she possibly be, to be so highly regarded by the young lady that she would condescend to hug her?

However, the young lady's embrace was so warm.

"Don't speak, get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, all misfortunes will be gone."

After eating the snake gall, Bai Luoluo's physical condition improved dramatically, making her comparable to modern people.

Xiao Tao was already thin and frail, so it was effortless to pick her up.

"Thank you for coming back in time, Miss. I thought I would never see you again in this life."

At this moment, Xiaotao's eyes were filled with tears.

"Don't cry, it's all my fault. I didn't protect you properly. I won't let you be in danger again."

"It's not Miss's fault, it's all because Xiao Tao is incompetent and drags Miss down."

"I'm here for you, no one will dare to hurt you again."

These words were like a warm ray of sunshine flowing into Xiaotao's body.

She could no longer bear it, closed her eyes, and fainted.

Bai Luoluo quickened her pace considerably, as Xiao Tao's injuries needed to be treated.

In the snow-covered courtyard, Bai Luoluo put Xiao Tao down and personally checked her wounds.

She needs disinfectant, but unfortunately there is none available.

Seeing Xiao Tao covered in wounds, Bai Luoluo clenched her fists, a sense of helplessness welling up inside her.

At that moment, two large bottles of iodine, cotton swabs, and gauze appeared before her eyes.

Bai Luoluo thought she was seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes and sure enough, there was iodine and gauze.

She looked around, but there was no one in the room.

At that moment, Bai Luoluo tentatively stepped forward and reached out to take it. The instant she held it in her hand, she was convinced that it was real.
