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

Was she lying?

What a ridiculous clown.

"You come up here to question me and defend Bai Qianqian. It seems she's been saying a lot of bad things about me."

She had an affair with the Third Prince at the palace banquet; that has nothing to do with me.

At the time, all the civil and military officials, including the emperor, were present. Bai Qianqian's maternal grandfather was also there. Whether it was voluntary or not, only Bai Qianqian herself knows.

It was the Prince of Xiling who punished her with a cane; he was ignorant of hierarchy and etiquette, so it was not unjust to punish her.

As for your second aunt, who, along with the household doctor and steward, poisoned me since I was a child, my father is still investigating this matter.

The pirated version you heard about is truly appalling. I never imagined you were so incredibly foolish, being used without even realizing it. Now you're just a joke, a clown.

Bai Luoluo looked at him with a half-smile, actually quite surprised.

Just how many hidden admirers are there?

In terms of methods, Bai Qianqian is indeed quite capable.

Without having to take the lead myself, the dog I raise knows how to come out and bite people; I'm very adept at using this chess piece.

The ancients were not as easy to deal with as we imagine. After all, they lived in different environments and were exposed to scheming and intrigue from a young age.

The surroundings fell silent instantly, and Zhang Muli stared at her in disbelief.

Do not--

Qianqian is so kind, she would never do such a thing!

Bai Luoluo must be lying. She's jealous of Qianqian and wants to slander her.

"Bai Luoluo...you're lying."

Anger flared in Zhang Muli's eyes as he strode forward, his fierce expression suggesting he was about to attack someone.

"Snapped--"

"Fool, you've been used as a pawn and still don't know how to repent. You're truly beyond redemption."

Bai Luoluo raised her hand and slapped him twice.

The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the hall.

No one could believe it; Bai Luoluo had actually made a move.

Zhang Muli, who had been like a vicious dog, was instantly stunned by the beating, looking bewildered and incredulous.

Crimson blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Bai Luoluo, are you crazy? How dare you hit your brother?"

Zhang Xiyan stepped forward, intending to hit her.

"Yan'er, no."

Wang tried to step forward and stop Zhang Xiyan, but it was too late.

"Crack! Crack!"

Zhang Xiyan was knocked to the ground, seeing stars, and forgot the pain she was in. She was so confused that she couldn't figure out what was happening.

Depend on--

These two siblings are tough and thick-skinned; it hurt a little when she hit them.

Bai Luoluo rubbed her aching fingers, frowning as she looked at the ignorant brother and sister in front of her.

When will these two wretched things finally wake up?

Who understands her good intentions!

"Yan'er, are you alright?"

Wang stepped forward to help her beloved daughter up. She saw that her cheeks were swollen and red, and there was a lot of blood at the corner of her mouth. At this moment, as a mother, she felt heartbroken.

She turned to look at Bai Luoluo, "Let's talk this out. Why did Luoluo have to hit someone?"

"Auntie, you're joking. How can your children be brought to their senses without a beating?"

"this.........."

Wang knew about this and didn't blame her, but she felt a little sorry for her because she had never hit anyone like this before.

"Bai Qianqian will be the Third Prince's concubine in the future. If the royal family finds out that my cousin and Bai Qianqian have an affair, does Aunt know what crime that would be?"

Having an affair with the concubine of the Third Prince is a capital offense.

Wang was a smart woman, and she was so frightened that she immediately let go of Zhang Xiyan.

"You unfilial son, do you want to bring about the deaths of everyone in the Zhang family?"

"Mother........."

At this moment, Zhang Muli knew that he was wrong. What Bai Luoluo said was true, but Qianqian did not like the Third Prince. It was all out of necessity.

"Bai Qianqian loves the Third Prince and is willing to become his concubine. You must recognize the truth of this matter."

"Don't yell at me. Out of courtesy, I'm your cousin, but in reality, I'll soon be the Princess Consort of Xiling. You'll need to bow to me when you see me, do you understand?"

Bai Luoluo raised her eyebrows and sneered.

They won't behave unless they're beaten; they only stop when they get a beating.

Humans! They're just so despicable.

As soon as Bai Luoluo finished speaking, Zhang Muli's eyes instantly turned fierce.

How could such a vulgar and despicable person become the Princess of Xiling, while his Qianqian had to lose her virginity before marriage and could only be a concubine?

He looked indignant.

"In terms of status, you are far inferior to me. Don't be ungrateful. My patience is limited. If you dare to be insolent again, don't blame me for not showing any kinship and sending you to exile."

Bai Luoluo could tell that the vicious dog didn't believe her.

She wouldn't give another chance to those who were stubbornly persistent.

Some people are both stupid and despicable; they insist on courting death, and she has no choice but to oblige.

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoluo exuded a cold and aloof aura, subtly displaying the imposing presence befitting a person in a superior position.

At this moment, Zhang Qingyang slowly walked over.

"Luo'er, is it true that you poisoned her?"

“Grandfather can ask my father. My dark skin and body odor over the years are due to poisoning. I came here today to ask my mother about her past with Zhang Yuyao.”

Bai Luoluo wanted to investigate who Zhang Yuyao associated with, as there were irregularities in the original owner's mother's cause of death.

Zhang Xiyan, who was still crying, was so surprised by what she heard that she opened her mouth wide.

The ugliness wasn't innate; it turned out to be due to poisoning.

this--

Now the two siblings no longer grimaced, but were digesting everything Bai Luoluo had said.

A hint of fear flickered in Wu's eyes. How could her granddaughter have been poisoned since childhood?

Then... Yuyao!

"Luo'er, has it been confirmed that this matter is related to your aunt?"

At this moment, Zhang Qingyang asked.

This is absolutely terrifying. Why would she poison someone?

“Grandfather may not know that Zhang Yuyao used to manage the General’s Mansion. Without her permission, who would dare to poison the eldest daughter of the General of the State?”

"How dare she?"

Wu said angrily, clutching her chest, her face slightly pale with rage.

"Grandmother, please don't get angry. Your health and emotions shouldn't fluctuate too much."

Upon seeing this, Bai Luoluo quickly stepped forward.

"My poor daughter died young. She was the only one left in the family line. Why would she do this?"

With tears in her eyes, Ms. Wu held onto Bai Luoluo's hand tightly.

“My second aunt would never do such a thing. Bai Luoluo has been pampered since she was little, and she is treated even better than Qianqian. There has never been the slightest bit of harshness towards her. There must be a misunderstanding here.”

At this moment, Zhang Muli, with his swollen and red cheeks, began to make mindless remarks.

"My second aunt was very good to Bai Luoluo. From a young age, Bai Luoluo could do whatever she wanted, while Qianqian was more strictly controlled and was even beaten."

Zhang Xiyan also didn't believe that Zhang Yuyao would poison someone. In her opinion, Qianqian was the victim, while Bai Luoluo had been pampered and spoiled since childhood and had never been criticized.

idiot!

Bai Luoluo was utterly shocked by the foolishness of the brother and sister, and for a moment she didn't know what words to use to describe it.

"Luo'er, Zhang Yuyao has always treated you well. Your uncle knows this. After all, Luo'er was naughty when she was little, and she was very tolerant of you and never restricted you in any way."

Zhang Heng and Zhang Yuyao were very close siblings, but deep down they didn't believe it.
