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

The Zhang residence!

Bai Luoluo stepped down from the carriage, looked at the mansion she barely remembered, and sighed inwardly.

The original owner of this body seems to have never come to us on her own initiative.

It was always his maternal grandfather who eagerly went to the general's mansion to visit him, but each time the original owner of the body was unwelcoming and even ignored him.

As a result, the grandfather later stopped wanting to visit.

The guards clearly did not recognize Bai Luoluo.

"What brings you here, young lady?"

His respectful attitude made him seem much more pleasing to the eye.

"Bai Luoluo, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, has come to pay her respects to her maternal grandfather. Please inform him of her arrival."

The guard could hardly believe his ears.

This granddaughter, who had never been before, surprisingly came to the Zhang residence.

Seeing the two of them looking dumbfounded, Bai Luoluo couldn't help but speak again, "Please inform them."

This time, the guard immediately bowed slightly, "Miss Bai, please wait a moment."

Before long, Lord Zhang arrived with a large entourage.

Upon seeing that it really was Bai Luoluo, Lord Zhang's eyes welled up with a slight moisture.

Upon seeing this, Bai Luoluo immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground.

"The unfilial granddaughter has come to pay respects to her maternal grandfather."

This kneeling was Bai Luoluo apologizing on behalf of the original owner.

It's also a way of showing respect for the old man, who is as kind as one's own grandfather.

"Grandfather is very happy that Luo'er can come."

Zhang Qingyang immediately stepped forward and helped Bai Luoluo up.

His eyes were filled with joy, and a little misty.

"It's my granddaughter's fault for being so unfilial, taking so long to come and pay her respects."

Behind them were a woman, a man, and the rest were maids and the steward.

Seeing that the man bore a striking resemblance to Zhang Qingyang, Bai Luoluo knew that these were the uncle and aunt that the original owner had never met.

"Just come."

Zhang Qingyang was very happy.

"Greetings to my uncle and aunt."

Bai Luoluo bowed slightly to the richly dressed men.

Zhang Heng's expression clearly showed no joy, but rather confusion and bewilderment.

He had visited her many times before, but she had always avoided him. Today, however, she actually came to his door in person.

Seeing that her husband remained unmoved, Wang smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Luo'er, there's no need to be so polite."

Bai Luoluo smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Zhang Qingyang reached out and took Bai Luoluo's hand, leading her step by step into the Zhang residence.

At this moment, everyone could see how much Zhang Qingyang valued Bai Luoluo.

"Husband, it's already very kind of Luo'er to come. Why do you look at me like that? Won't that make Luo'er overthink and not come to the manor next time?"

Seeing Zhang Heng's indifferent expression, Wang couldn't help but speak up.

"Madam, you are overthinking it. I just find it a bit unreal. After all, she has disliked the Zhang family since she was a child and is not close to us. I have visited her many times before, but she has always refused."

"Luo'er has already arrived at the Zhang residence. Husband, please don't think that way. Perhaps she was too young to understand before."

“Madam is right. Perhaps it is because she is too young. Luo’er is my sister’s only bloodline. I shouldn’t think like that.”

“It’s good that you think so, my husband. Let’s go inside quickly.”

Zhang Heng and Wang Shi followed behind the others.

Because the original owner's maternal grandmother was in poor health and bedridden for a long time, she did not come out.

However, because she wanted to see her granddaughter, the original owner's maternal grandmother still had a group of old women help her out.

As soon as they arrived at the main hall, they saw Zhang Qingyang leading Bai Luoluo and the others over.

When the old woman saw Bai Luoluo's figure, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Luo'er... my dear granddaughter."

Her voice trembled, choked with sobs, and filled with endless longing.

Her beloved daughter died young, causing her immense heartache. Seeing this child who carried her daughter's blood, she felt a deep pang of sympathy.

Bai Luoluo looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in her fifties or sixties with a sickly face and a heart full of heartache. Tears welled up in her eyes and dripped down her cheeks.

She knew that this was the original owner's maternal grandmother, Madam Wu.

Seeing her crying with tears streaming down her face, Bai Luoluo felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

She hurried forward and knelt before Madam Wu.

"Grandmother, don't cry. It's your unfilial granddaughter who came to see you."

Bai Luoluo's eyes stung with tears as she thought of her loving grandmother, and tears welled up in her eyes as well.

Wu bent down and helped Bai Luoluo up, reaching out to stroke her veiled face.

“My dear child… Grandma misses you so much, and hopes to see you again before I die.”

Madam Wu's eyes were like warm sunshine, radiating endless kindness and care.

At this moment, Bai Luoluo was truly heartbroken.

The original owner of this body committed terrible sins!

She's so blind to such wonderful grandparents; she's hopelessly stupid.

She listened to Zhang Yuyao's instigation and treated these elders who loved her as enemies.

"Grandmother is not well. Let me help you inside to sit down."

Bai Luoluo, being obedient and sensible, stepped forward to help Wu Shi walk step by step towards the main hall.

Zhang Qingyang secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. They had really been waiting for this moment; their granddaughter had really arrived.

The main hall is where Zhang's immediate family members are gathered.

Wu held Bai Luoluo's hand tightly, not wanting to let go for even a moment.

"Luo'er is about to get married. I have discussed this with your maternal grandfather, and these are all the dowry prepared for you."

An old woman behind her brought over a small wooden box, which Wu placed in front of Bai Luoluo.

"Luo'er doesn't need these, but thank you anyway, Grandfather and Grandmother."

Bai Luoluo refused outright.

"My dear child, these are all your maternal grandmother's good wishes. After you marry into the Xiling Prince's Mansion, you must be careful in everything you do."

Zhang Qingyang's tone was full of concern; these dowries had already been prepared.

"Grandfather, don't worry, Achi treats me very well, and I really don't lack any of these things."

Zhang Qingyang was honest and upright throughout his life and did not possess much wealth.

Bai Luoluo knew in her heart that the whole family relied on Zhang Qingyang and his son's salary to survive.

My family also includes my older cousins, neither of whom are particularly ambitious.

Mr. Wu was bedridden for many years and was kept at home with expensive medicines, which cost a considerable amount of money.

"Does Luo'er truly love the Prince of Xiling?"

Zhang Heng asked, but he regretted saying it as soon as he did.

She knew who Achi was, since she had been infatuated with Gu Yanjin before.

Zhang Qingyang glanced at his son and sighed softly.

He knew about the affairs of the court, and naturally he knew that the Empress intended for Bai Luoluo to marry the Third Prince, but now she had become the Fifth Prince, and the entire court was about to change.

In fact, he did not want Bai Luoluo to marry a member of the royal family.

After all, if Gu Yanchi fails, the consequences are predictable.

"Of course I like him. My feelings for Achi arose without knowing why, but they have been deep and unwavering. We truly like each other and will share both honor and disgrace, and never be apart in life and death."

Bai Luoluo said with a smile that she knew the original owner's previous actions had made these people think that she liked that scumbag Gu Yanjin.

Now, she wants to prove herself.

"You are truly shameless and arrogant. You think you deserve the favor of the Prince of Xiling? Stop playing hard to get. The Third Prince will not marry you. Cousin Qianqian is the concubine now."

Just then, a sharp and sarcastic voice came from the entrance of the main hall, and everyone looked over.
