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

Seeing the disgust in the other person's eyes, Bai Luoluo still had to say things that disgusted her.

"Today's measures are all expedient, Your Majesty understands. I am content. I am willing to go through fire and water for the Third Prince. I only hope that the Third Prince will favor me more in the future."

Bai Luoluo felt nauseous.

Heavens above!

She said these words against her will, with a feeling of disgust, and it took her a lot of effort to say them.

The empress smiled disdainfully, her eyes filled with contempt.

"Jin'er knows your sacrifices and will surely favor you in the future. I can guarantee that. This hairpin is of great significance today. Do you understand?"

"I understand, and I will protect this hairpin with my life and do what Your Majesty the Empress has instructed. However, this matter cannot be rushed. I am currently gaining the trust of the Prince of Xiling, otherwise the opportunity to poison him will be very difficult."

Bai Luoluo felt that her acting skills were good enough to win a Best Actress award.

"Good, as expected of my daughter-in-law."

The Queen smiled.

Daughter-in-law my foot! She's just making empty promises.

Bai Luoluo's eyes were full of disdain, but she said, "It is my honor to be valued by the Empress."

Pah!

That old witch, she still dares to use PUA tactics on her.

At this moment, the real contest of power and strategy begins.

The chess pieces are useful, but if they suddenly become uncontrollable and rebel, who knows what kind of expression that old hag will have then.

Bai Luoluo suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

The champion of palace intrigue was completely outmaneuvered by this cannon fodder. When the truth is revealed, will he go insane or kill her?

"In that case, I'll wait for your good news."

The Empress stood up, reached out and took Bai Luoluo's hand, patting it gently twice.

"This humble woman will certainly not disappoint Her Majesty the Empress."

Bai Luoluo withdrew her hand in disgust, looking flattered.

"Ah."

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, the Empress no longer wanted to feign politeness with Bai Luoluo and turned to leave.

Watching the departing figure, Bai Luoluo clutched her chest, feeling waves of nausea.

No wonder she gave birth to that scoundrel Gu Yanjin. Like mother, like son; they're both utterly disgusting.

..........

The next morning, Gu Yanjin and Liu Yulan came to visit.

Bai Luoluo gave a mocking smile, "Can't those two adulterers just shut up for once?"

"Miss, the person has arrived at the front hall. The general requests your presence."

"Ah."

Bai Luoluo nodded and reached out to put the veil on her face.

She walked slowly, not in a hurry to meet them, mainly because the male and female leads were truly disgusting.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Luoluo arrived at the front hall.

"This humble woman greets the Third Prince."

As she finished speaking, she stood ramrod straight.

"Luo'er, there's no need for such formalities."

Gu Yanjin smiled and said with a gentle expression.

Yesterday, the Empress told him that Bai Luoluo did all this because she loved him.

Actually, thinking about it now, it's quite touching.

If she could really kill Gu Yanchi, he wouldn't mind marrying her even if it was difficult.

Today, I thought I'd come to the General's Mansion to get closer to him, so that it might be better if Bai Hao disagrees with the marriage later.

"May I ask what brings the Third Prince and Miss Liu here?"

Bai Luoluo spoke coldly, giving the two of them no friendly look.

As she spoke, she sat down in her chair and took a sip of her tea.

Seeing this attitude, Gu Yanjin was clearly displeased.

Now that there are no outsiders around, is Bai Luoluo getting addicted to acting?

There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be so distant.

Ah--

What an idiot, thinking she was acting.

"Third Prince, please speak if you have something to say. My wedding is imminent, and I have other matters to attend to today."

Bai Luoluo didn't even glance at Gu Yanjin, mainly because she was afraid of feeling nauseous and threw up her breakfast.

"The Third Prince knows all of Luo'er's good intentions. From now on, we sisters will serve the Third Prince together, without any distinction between us."

Liu Yulan swayed her hips as she walked over and took Bai Luoluo's hand.

Acting like a matriarch, Bai Luoluo immediately withdrew her hand.

"Miss Liu is too kind. It should be Sister Qian who is addressed as my sister, not me."

They despise the original owner for being ugly and stupid like a pig, yet they want to use the original owner to rise to power. They are truly hypocritical and disgusting.

"Sister Qian is just an ordinary concubine, so naturally she is different from Sister Luo'er. Although I will be the principal wife in the future, I will still have a deep sisterly bond with Luo'er. In front of outsiders, we are the principal wife and the concubine, but in the mansion, we are not distinguished by rank and work together to share the burdens of the Third Prince."

Liu Yulan's genuine emotions and magnanimous demeanor almost made people believe she was telling the truth.

The same lines, the same deception, but the original owner of the book believed this woman's lies.

She thought Liu Yulan was sincere and genuinely wanted to be her sister, but in the end, it was all a ploy.

After being rendered worthless, he was kicked away by Liu Yulan.

What's laughable is the state of the world; what's wicked is the human heart.

"Does Miss Liu also wish to marry the Prince of Xiling?"

Bai Luoluo retorted, "It's truly ridiculous to call each other sisters."

"What does Sister Luo'er mean by this?"

"Literally, I have betrothed the Prince of Xiling to him."

Bai Luoluo rolled her eyes dismissively. "So stupid and wicked, even more venomous than a scorpion."

Liu Yulan looked at Gu Yanjin with a puzzled expression.

"Bai Luoluo, don't push your luck. Lan'er has already given so much, what more do you want?"

Gu Yanjin was immediately angered.

They don't know what's good for them. If they weren't still useful, he wouldn't even glance at their ugly appearance.

"Third Prince, you have quite the air about you. Don't forget this is the General's Mansion. You two came uninvited and still dare to bark here. If you don't want to stay, you can get out. I won't keep you company."

I really want to shoot them both dead, those two scoundrels!

Disgusting, coming to cause trouble first thing in the morning.

Bai Luoluo left quickly, not caring at all what Gu Yanjin thought; as long as she could keep the Empress in check, that was enough.

Gu Yanjin and the other man looked at each other, so angry that they couldn't say a word.

The Empress Dowager said she was a pawn, an act staged to kill Gu Yanchi. This...

"It was my fault for saying the wrong thing and making Sister Luo'er angry."

Liu Yulan looked aggrieved. She had been so humble and subservient, yet this bitch showed no gratitude whatsoever. She vowed that when she rose to a high position in the future, she would skin this bitch alive with a knife to vent her anger.

"Lan'er, you have done very well. It is that bitch Bai Luoluo who does not know what is good for her. We will deal with her after we marry her into the manor."

Gu Yanjin said viciously, his heart filled with resentment. Every time he was angered by this bitch, he couldn't even calm down. She deserved to die, she really deserved to die.

Ugly people often cause trouble; let's see how long she can be so arrogant.

.........

Bai Luoluo took Xiao Tao out of the mansion and went directly to the original owner's maternal grandfather's house.

I said I'd visit, but I haven't had the chance yet.

He's getting married soon, so I should go and visit him.

There was another matter: she wanted to ask the original owner's mother about her past with Zhang the witch, in order to find any clues.

Bai Luoluo prepared many gifts, as well as her own self-developed pills, which are very good for the elderly, as they can nourish the body and replenish qi and blood.
