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

He doted on the original owner of the body, but perhaps he only showed it outwardly; deep down, he might have looked down on this daughter.

Bai Qianqian might be more in line with his character of a loving daughter. When I read the book before, I thought Bai Hao loved the original owner's daughter very much, but now it seems that's not entirely true.

Bai Hao's expression showed a mixture of confusion and, more importantly, pain.

He married Zhang Yuyao to take care of his young daughter. Was he wrong?

Zhang Yuyao worked diligently without a single complaint, and he hadn't even touched her once in all these years.

Bai Qianqian is also his daughter, yet he shows all his favoritism to this legitimate daughter, and she still resents him, her father, so much.

Living under someone else's roof, enduring endless humiliation.

It's not that she herself liked the Third Prince and was constantly chasing after him, ruining her reputation, so how can she blame others for this?

"Your father is away from home most of the year. Tell me, Luo'er, how you've been living under someone else's roof and what grievances you've suffered?"

Bai Hao squinted at Bai Luoluo, his eyes practically screaming "unreasonable!"

In his opinion, Bai Luoluo was just throwing a tantrum, and it was probably because she was unwilling to accept that the Third Prince was going to marry Bai Qianqian.

"Oh--

My daughter shouldn't have come back today, nor should she have shown up. I'm so sorry to have disturbed your family reunion.

After Bai Luoluo finished speaking, she walked out with Xiao Tao, her eyes filled with disappointment.

She didn't feel any pampering whatsoever.

The original owner was instigated by Bai Qianqian to do some wrong things, but Zhang Yuyao sent people to spread the rumors.

This father is a doting father, but he doesn't care at all. Even though my face has turned out like this over the years, he hasn't shown me any concern.

This shows that his father genuinely loved him to some extent.

Without having met him, it's impossible to define him. Right now, she's quite disappointed in the original owner's father.

That's just one side of the story. Over the years, has he ever sent anyone to protect the original owner, or has he ever investigated the truth of the matter?

"Luo'er, what exactly do you want from your father?"

"General Bai Hao is joking. From now on, you will live with this poisonous mother and daughter. You are not worthy of my deceased mother in this life, because you are filthy from heart to body."

The merciless words struck Bai Hao's heart.

He almost couldn't catch his breath.

"you.........."

"How am I wrong?"

Bai Luoluo's eyes were full of mockery and disdain.

"Zhang Yuyao climbed into your bed, why didn't you just beat her to death? You've kept her by your side to lord it over everyone, where do you place my mother?"

Or perhaps... you've already changed your mind, but past promises have held you back. There's no need to pretend anymore; just cherish your wife and live a good life together.

By the way, Bai Qianqian, just like her mother, slept with the Third Prince. How ironic.

I was very disappointed to see General Bai Hao when I returned today.

I don't want to waste any more words, there's one more thing I need to tell General Bai Hao.

Look at the dark spots on my face, and this smell—it's because I've been poisoned.

I was given a slow-acting poison from a young age. It wasn't fatal, but it disfigured me and made my body emit a foul odor. If it weren't for this assassination attempt and the diagnosis by a renowned healer, I probably would have been murdered within a few years.

Do you think I would dare to come back to the General's Mansion?

The general is brave and valiant, with numerous military exploits, but has he ever truly cared about his daughter?

My mother was stunningly beautiful, and my father was handsome and dashing; how could I possibly be dark-skinned and ugly?

Did you know all this? Did you ever consider that I was assassinated?

After Bai Luoluo finished speaking, she left without looking back.

At that moment, Bai Hao stood there, stunned.

poisoned!

How can this be?

Who would dare poison his legitimate daughter?

Zhang Yuyao's body trembled slightly; she had been discovered.

It's not that ordinary people can't see this poison at all; even the imperial physicians couldn't diagnose it. Could it be that the Prince of Xiling's mansion has some kind of divine physician?

"Luo'er, stop making a fuss. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Bai Hao strode up and blocked Bai Luoluo's path, looking at her with heartache in his eyes.

"I've already been poisoned, but the general says it's all nonsense. Why don't I poison the general myself and see if this is going too far?"

Bai Luoluo rolled her eyes, utterly disappointed.

Sigh! Now she finally understands why the original owner of this body clung to Gu Yanjin so tightly.

Perhaps, Gu Yanjin was a ray of light, the only one who did not mock, ridicule, or despise her.

Fatherly love is absent at this moment, and motherly love is even more absent.

Little did she know that Gu Yanjin was faking it all, and that all his kindness was just a ploy.

How tragic, and how lamentable!

It really proves the saying, "If there's a stepmother, there's a stepfather."

Now, I can truly experience it for myself.

There's no need to investigate; who would dare poison the general's residence?

Only Zhang Yuyao, that poisonous woman.

Even now, Bai Hao still believes the poisonous woman, but not his own daughter.

Bai Hao was speechless, filled with self-reproach.

It was his negligence; he didn't realize he had been poisoned, assuming it was his natural state and didn't think much of it.

"I have neglected to care for Luo'er, and she has suffered because of me."

"I've been insecure since childhood, afraid to go out, afraid of being ridiculed, insulted, and scorned. I hid in the general's mansion every day like a rat that dared not see the light of day. Can the general possibly understand how I feel?"

Bai Hao avoided her gaze and unconsciously lowered his head.

Yes, he never cared about these things.

It turns out that his beloved daughter had carried so much burden since childhood, and he was completely unaware of it.

If we don't make things clear today, Zhang Yuyao will continue to act arrogantly and domineeringly when Bai Hao goes to war in the future.

She wanted to be the one in charge of the General's Mansion and never be crushed by Zhang Yuyao again.

"It is my fault as your father. I have not cared for you enough. I will give you an explanation for this matter."

Bai Hao's eyes reddened at this moment. He was really wrong. He never expected things to turn out this way.

Whenever asked, Zhang would say that Luo'er was doing very well. The steward would write in his letters that everything was fine and that his beloved daughter was living a carefree life.

I don't ask her to be exceptionally talented, I just want her to be happy.

These were Zhang Yuxue's last words before she died.

These words still echo in Bai Hao's ears.

"Luo'er has been poisoned. Is there any cure for this poison?"

Zhang Yuyao stood up, took a few steps to Bai Luoluo, her expression excited and full of concern.

Seeing her acting like a drama queen, Bai Luoluo scoffed.

They've come this far, and they're still acting? Aren't they tired?!

"Aunt Zhang, stop acting. You're the one who poisoned me. Who are you trying to fool with this act of concern?"

Bai Luoluo didn't want to continue acting with her. Now that Bai Hao was back, this matter should be resolved.

She dealt with Zhang Yuyao so that she could join forces with Gu Yanchi to deal with the male and female leads.

"Luo'er, how could you wrong me like this? For so many years, I've treated you like my own daughter, never mistreating you in the slightest. You've hurt me so much, sob sob..."

"Stop howling—"

Bai Luoluo looked at him with disdain. Not only was his acting bad, but his crying scene was also completely off-putting; it sounded like he was faking it.

Now, the servants in the manor are listening to this conversation, and each of them has their own thoughts.

They all understood that Zhang Yuyao was likely the one who administered the poison, but no one dared to speak out.

Zhang Yuyao, who was still faking her tears, immediately stopped talking.
