Chapter 160: Letter, Provoking the Wrong Person



The eldest lady was in her room, thinking about how to harm Luo Xuening, when someone extended an olive branch to her.

The night was slightly chilly, and the eldest lady's heart was as cold as water. She sat by the window, looking at her aging face in the mirror, and felt a wave of sadness in her heart. The saddest thing in the world is the old age of heroes and the old age of beauties.

Thinking back to the time when she was still a girl in her teens, with a fresh and tender face, Prime Minister Luo never even looked at her. Now that she is old and ugly, Prime Minister Luo disdains her even more.

In her life, accidentally entering the Prime Minister's Mansion was the most ridiculous decision the eldest lady had ever made. Even now, the eldest lady felt a little regretful, but once she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was like entering a deep sea. She had no way out. All she did now was just to gain some benefits for her son and daughter.

Recently, the eldest lady has fought with Luo Xuening many times, but she always ended up in failure. At this time, the eldest lady no longer has the high spirits she had before. She even regretted that she did not see Luo Xuening's strength earlier, and did not see clearly the Yan Liang in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the sadness in Prime Minister Luo's heart.

That's why she allowed her obsession to grow wildly, and step by step she became a rope that bound Prime Minister Luo, and successfully imprisoned herself in the Prime Minister's Mansion, in this courtyard, unable to escape.

Ever since Prime Minister Luo recklessly took back the right to manage the servants' indentures from her, the eldest lady could already foresee what kind of power struggle would follow and how many people would take advantage of her illness to seize the power in her hands.

At this time, Prime Minister Luo watched her being bullied and never said a word for her. For so many years, she worked hard for the Prime Minister's Mansion, but in the end, she could not get any recognition from Prime Minister Luo.

You say to her, why bother? It would be better for her to act like that concubine Ye, pretending to be crazy and stupid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, being a leisurely person, and even gain some sympathy and pity from the Prime Minister.

Therefore, all her struggles over the years only made Prime Minister Luo hate her even more in the end. She really wasted her time and energy in vain.

She let out a long sigh. The dark night outside the window was just like her heart at the moment, full of sorrow. However, it was too late for the eldest lady to see through it.

Behind her, there is an aunt watching her covetously, and in front of her is Luo Xuening, blocking her son and daughter's way to success. Only by stepping on Luo Xuening and her daughter harshly under her feet can her son and daughter enjoy the high treatment as the legitimate son and daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The eldest lady sighed. She didn't have many confidants nowadays. She just quietly combed her makeup in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection and feeling sorry for herself. A gust of wind blew through the window, and suddenly a letter appeared in front of the eldest lady's dressing table.

There were guards guarding the Madam's courtyard, and she also had a few shadows guarding her around to protect her safety. However, the man was able to deliver the letter to her without alerting anyone else. It was conceivable how powerful he was.

The eldest lady opened the letter with trepidation. The content of the letter was very simple, but from this letter, the eldest lady could be sure that the visitor, although not a friend, would definitely not be her enemy, because they had a common enemy, Luo Xue Ning.

The eldest lady didn't know who this person was, but when she thought about it, Luo Xue Ning's autocratic style of doing things would naturally offend many people outside. It seemed that this time, Luo Xue Ning offended a big shot whom she could not afford to offend.

The eldest lady laughed secretly. Someone actually wanted to help her deal with Luo Xuening. Why wouldn't she do it?

In this way, the Prime Minister's Mansion passed peacefully and quietly for a few days. It was really not appropriate for the eldest lady to attract too much attention at such a juncture. She used these few days of peace to divert people's attention, but it did not mean that she had completely let go of her thoughts about Luo Xuening.

At 4 p.m. on that day, there was a sudden panic in the Prime Minister's residence because the eldest lady was seriously ill.

The eldest lady has been ill for some time and no one is surprised by her condition. But today, her illness is extremely rare and her life is in danger.

"Master, it's bad. My wife is seriously ill and is now unconscious."

The maid who served the eldest lady ran to Prime Minister Luo crying. The worry and nervousness in her eyes did not seem to be fake. However, Prime Minister Luo just frowned and raised his head from the book impatiently: "What's wrong with her?"

Fortunately, the eldest lady is not here at this moment, otherwise, I don’t know how sad she would feel seeing her husband being so indifferent.

"Master, Madam, she is really seriously ill. She spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and then fell to the ground unconscious. Madam, she is really seriously ill this time. Please go and see Madam, Master."

The maid cried very sadly. Although she had no relationship with the eldest lady, she had served her for a long time. Seeing her current appearance, the maid couldn't help but feel a little distressed. However, the indifference in Prime Minister's eyes chilled not only the eldest lady's heart, but also the maid's heart.

At this moment, she could only exaggerate the severity of the eldest lady's illness in order to gain a little sympathy from Prime Minister Luo.

It's pitiful that their wife, even if she is sick and dying, can't even get the slightest contact from the prime minister.

But Prime Minister Luo's eyes were gloomy, and he didn't mean to move at all: "She is sick, just go and ask a doctor. I am not a doctor, I can't cure her pain."

"Master."

The maidservant called out, she was almost crying because of Prime Minister Luo's anger. How deep was the hatred and resentment between Prime Minister Luo and the eldest lady? The man was at the brink of life and death, but he was still thinking about so many things.

"Master, the doctor has come, but he said that he can't cure Madam's condition at all. He also said that if Madam can't be cured, she might be in danger of losing her life. That's why Madam sent me to ask you. Madam really wants to see you again. I beg you, please come with me."

The word "ask" was used, and there was a slight change in Prime Minister Luo's indifferent eyes. He put down the book and his steps seemed a little hurried: "Let's go, take me to have a look."

The maid's face was covered with tears, but there was a hint of joy on her tense and worried face. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Prime Minister Luo was not so ruthless, otherwise she really would not have the face to go back to see his wife.

"Gu Lan, what on earth is going on? Why did you suddenly become so seriously ill?"

Hearing Prime Minister Luo's call, the eldest lady's heart trembled and her eyes filled with tears. She looked at Prime Minister Luo. He had not called her name like this for a long time. Every time, he called her Gu. She obviously had a name, but he called her like a stranger.

Unexpectedly, she could still hear Prime Minister Luo calling her name in her lifetime. The eldest lady was suddenly in a state of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Her hand tightly grasped Prime Minister Luo's sleeve. Her pale face was bloodless, like a dead person. When she opened her mouth, blood could be seen between her teeth, imprinted on her pale face, making it even more dazzling.

This scene really hurt Prime Minister Luo's eyes. Even though he usually hated Gu Lan, now seeing her like this, lying in his arms, Prime Minister Luo couldn't help but worry.

"It's okay, it's okay, the doctor will be here soon, he will definitely be able to cure you."

The eldest lady's eyes were filled with sadness. She had always believed that Prime Minister Luo was cold-hearted, but it was not until today that she realized that he was only cold and indifferent to her.

Now, she finally didn't have to be so forceful in facing Prime Minister Luo. Prime Minister Luo actually showed a little more sympathy towards her, but...

At this point, what's the use of her asking for his sympathy? She just has other intentions today.

"Master, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

Luo Xueyao stood aside, buried her head, covered her face and cried, calling her mother again and again. However, the eldest lady held Prime Minister Luo's hand tightly, and suddenly loosened her grip, closed her eyes, and fainted directly from Prime Minister Luo's arms.
