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

"Luo'er, who hit you? Why didn't Qianqian come back with you?"

Aunt Zhang spoke with feigned concern, but her eyes betrayed her utter disdain.

"This is a long story. I'll tell you the details when your daughter returns. I've lost too much blood, so no one is allowed to chatter anymore, or I'll deal with them according to military regulations."

The General's Mansion is teeming with demons and monsters, so she needs to be careful and rest her body first.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang's eyes flashed with malice.

This idiot seems to have changed. Why do you say that?

How dare they look down on her, and even dare to chatter on and on in front of so many people.

Military regulations have been brought up; what exactly happened?

"Luo'er, what's wrong with you today? Was your head wound treated at the Grand Princess's residence?"

Aunt Zhang followed closely behind Bai Luoluo, her eyes fixed on her back as she scrutinized her.

"Aunt Zhang, please wait! Qianqian is right behind me. You'll find out what happened in a moment."

When Bai Luoluo saw the words "Xueluo Courtyard," she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Is Qianqian behind you?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang did not move forward even a fraction of an inch.

"From this moment forward, I do not wish for any unauthorized persons to enter Snowfall Courtyard."

After Bai Luoluo finished speaking, she pushed away the two maids who were supporting her and walked unsteadily into the courtyard.

Just like the description in the book, this place is truly a sight to behold.

In the quaint courtyard, Bai Luoluo walked along the winding path, the ground paved with various stones, which felt very comfortable underfoot.

Beneath the towering trees, a swing swayed gently. This was the original owner's favorite spot, where she would sit whenever she was unhappy.

Below the long corridor, a pond is filled with lotus flowers, and fish occasionally dart about in the water. A refreshing lotus fragrance wafts on the breeze, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Bai Luoluo had always loved the Snowfall Courtyard when she read books before, and today she was fortunate enough to see it in person; it was indeed full of charm.

"This servant greets Miss."

At this moment, a little maid ran out of the courtyard. She looked haggard, with delicate features, but she was short and clearly malnourished.

Her clothes looked very worn, and two strands of hair in front of her forehead swayed back and forth with her movements.

This is the original owner's personal maid, named Xiao Tao.

The book doesn't describe this maid in much detail, only mentioning her loyalty in protecting her master.

Because the original owner had offended Gu Yanjin, she was given to a servant in the mansion.

The original owner, in order to please Gu Yanjin, never cared about Xiao Tao's life or death.

The girl's fate was predictable; it was all because the original owner misjudged people and caused her trouble!

"Xiao Tao, please prepare some blood-nourishing food for me."

Bai Luoluo said in a gentle tone.

Xiao Tao was clearly flattered; in the past, it was always her brat who got the job.

"This servant sees that Miss has a head injury. Should we call the physician from the manor to treat her?"

Xiao Tao looked at Bai Luoluo with concern in her eyes.

"No need, I'll go back inside to rest. You go and prepare some blood-nourishing food."

Seeing how well-behaved and sensible Xiao Tao was, Bai Luoluo secretly cursed the original owner for being stupid, love-struck, and harming herself and others.

Xiao Tao ran off to prepare blood-replenishing food, while Bai Luoluo returned to her room.

The moment I entered the room, I almost couldn't catch my breath.

The room was decorated in pink and had a strong fragrance that made it difficult to breathe.

Bai Luoluo picked up the incense burner and threw it out the window. What kind of mess of incense was this?

She was so weak that she desperately needed to rest.

Bai Luoluo lay on the soft couch, feeling her body instantly relieved.

When he closed his eyes, a faint odor emanated from his body.

The original owner didn't like to take baths, and her body smelled terrible.

Thinking of this, Bai Luoluo suddenly remembered.

The original owner of this body was described as cannon fodder in the book, and it seems that she had an odor. Could it be this stench?

From a modern medical perspective, aside from body odor and not bathing, there's no such thing as being born with a bad smell.

Another possibility is poisoning.

"Dong dong!"

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Miss, the meal is ready. May I come in?"

"Ah."

Bai Luoluo replied calmly and sat up.

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and Xiao Tao walked in carrying a tray.

She put down the food and turned to help Bai Luoluo.

"Miss, how did you get so badly injured?"

Seeing the bloodstains on Bai Luoluo's clothes, Xiao Tao's eyes reddened slightly.

"It's nothing, it will be fine in a few days."

Bai Luoluo sat down, looking at the food on the table with great satisfaction.

Pork liver soup, ginseng chicken soup, and several delicate side dishes.

"Xiao Tao, sit down and eat with us. You've gotten so thin."

Bai Luoluo looked up at Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao was flattered and looked at her young mistress in disbelief.

"This servant is of lowly status and dares not dine with Miss."

"Low social status is not a matter of birth. After all, we cannot control our birth. From now on, you will eat with me in this house. Just be a little more careful in front of outsiders."

Bai Luoluo knew that there were many rules in ancient times, after all, the emperor held absolute power and the distinction between the noble and the lowly was obvious.

"Absolutely not! If Madam Zhang finds out, she'll beat me to death."

Xiao Tao's eyes were filled with fear, as if she had thought of something terrifying.

"From now on, I am the master of this Snowfall Courtyard. Who will you listen to?"

Bai Luoluo looked at her and knew that this girl might have been punished by Aunt Zhang.

However, from now on, the general's mansion will gradually change.

“This servant will naturally obey Miss, but this is not in accordance with the rules.”

"Listen to me, sit down and eat with me. You're so thin, a gust of wind could blow you away. How will you protect me in the future?" Bai Luoluo reached out and pulled Xiao Tao to the chair next to her. "Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Xiao Tao was deeply moved; the young lady in front of her seemed to have changed a lot.

He used to be arrogant and domineering towards her, never showing her any kindness whatsoever.

"Eat it quickly, it tastes good."

Bai Luoluo took a bite and found that the ancient dishes actually tasted pretty good.

Xiao Tao picked up her chopsticks shakily and took a bite.

She was so moved that she almost cried. How could she possibly be so favored by her young mistress that she was invited to dine with her?

"You little rascal, you're so young but you've got a lot on your mind. From now on, whatever I eat, you'll eat too."

Seeing her teary-eyed expression, Bai Luoluo picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in her bowl.

"Miss is too kind to me. I will repay you with my life."

Xiao Tao lowered her head and said in a choked voice.

"Alright, I'll need Xiao Tao's protection from now on. Let's finish our meal first before we get sentimental."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao said nothing more, and the two began to eat.

Before long, the meal was finally finished, and Bai Luoluo felt her blood flow much better.

My body is no longer so weak.

Actually, the original owner was too thin, weighing only about 80 pounds.

Bai Qianqian coaxed her, saying that Gu Yanjin disliked women with flesh on their bodies, and that the thinner a woman was, the more she would be liked by Gu Yanjin.

From then on, the original owner hardly ate anything, and his body was severely weakened. Otherwise, he wouldn't have died after bleeding a little.
