Chapter 67: Old Tricks Again



After all, Prime Minister Luo protected Luo Xuening and her daughter, which made Luo Xuening very happy. She felt even closer to Prime Minister Luo than before.

To be honest, Luo Xue Ning used to have a grudge against Prime Minister Luo because of Aunt Ye's illness. No matter how Prime Minister Luo tried to please her, she just acted self-righteously and ignored him.

In fact, according to the original owner's memory, Prime Minister Luo was also partly responsible for Aunt Ye's loss of mind. It was understandable that Luo Xue Ning was unwilling to forgive Prime Minister Luo in the past. However, Luo Xue Ning now had no demands on Prime Minister Luo or Aunt Ye, so naturally, she would not have any resentment towards Prime Minister Luo.

However, Luo Yurou, this brainless girl, dared to bully Luo Xuening and her daughter so directly. Luo Xuening would naturally not let her go. She deliberately asked someone to invite Prime Minister Luo to come over. Naturally, Luo Yurou and the Second Aunt were punished, and they deserved it. Who asked them to harm Aunt Ye without any grudge against each other?

"My dear Miss, you see that Luo Xue Ning is bullying us now. We can't tolerate this. You should think of a way to teach Luo Xue Ning a lesson."

The First Madam is still under house arrest, and the housekeeping power under her has been divided among the concubines. This time, the Second Concubine has really failed not only the Madam but also her army. Not only was Luo Yurou severely humiliated by Luo Xuening, but also the housekeeping power that she had worked so hard to obtain was divided away. The Second Concubine is in tears, as she has only held the housekeeping power in her hands for a few days.

Naturally, she had to talk to Luo Xueyao about this debt. At this time, Luo Xueyao was sitting upright on the armchair, looking at the Second Aunt in front of her who was crying and snotting, and a hint of disgust flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"How dare you complain here? It's obviously your fault that you can't do your job well. You can't even deal with a lunatic. You are really useless."

Luo Xueyao spat secretly, frowned, and looked at the Second Aunt with displeasure. Luo Yurou always believed what Luo Xueyao said. When Luo Xueyao frowned, she didn't dare to say anything.

“It’s useless.”

The Second Aunt glanced at her daughter and really didn't understand why she was so afraid that Luo Xueyao would become like this. She cursed softly and then pretended to speak.

"Miss, how can you say that? If you hadn't wanted to do this, why would we have annoyed the old man? Now the old man doesn't even enter my yard, and he doesn't even have the rights of a housekeeper. Tell me, I'm working for you, how can you blame me?"

Yes, it was Luo Xueyao who came up with the idea of ​​locking up Aunt Ye in the yard. She saw that Luo Xue Ning was overshadowing her, so how could she not be anxious? She was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and would become a princess or even an empress in the future. However, she had heard with her own ears that her cousin, Prince Shou, had mentioned Luo Xue Ning in front of her more than once.

Luo Xueyao admitted that she was really panicking. She was afraid that her glory would be snatched away by Luo Xuening. In this big world, even if she, Luo Xueyao, could not compete for the first place, she could not allow someone who was inferior to her in every way to step on her glory to rise to the top. So, she did one thing...

"Alas, it is said that it is easy to lose favor but difficult to regain it. You see, I am a concubine and I have to rely on the old man for a living. Now, my mother and I have suffered a great loss. Miss, you must show some appreciation."

Seeing that Luo Xueyao didn't say anything, the second aunt plucked up her courage and spoke more and more nonsense.

"I was originally thinking about giving birth to a little boy for the old man, but now, you have ruined everything. And Rou'er's voice has been made hoarse by that little bitch. How can Rou'er, a girl, go out and meet people? Look, how are you going to compensate us, my lady?"

The Second Aunt put her hands on her hips, and her already mean face looked even more greasy because of the sarcastic smile. Since the First Lady was not around, how could she justify the blow she had suffered in the past two days if she didn't take the opportunity to get some benefits from Luo Xueyao?

"you......"

Luo Xueyao blushed, she was ashamed and angry. How could she, an unmarried girl, be so shameless when being spoken to by the Second Aunt?

"Okay, how about compensation? Here you go."

Luo Xueyao looked at the Second Aunt with disgust, her voice intermittent, with a hint of gnashing of teeth, but a gleam of light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Since the Second Aunt wanted money, she would give it to her, but they had to be able to afford it.

"Fei Cui, go get the white jade bell-shaped hairpin and the large gold-studded jeweled silk bracelet from my yard and give them to my aunt and sister. I will naturally give them some compensation for the injustice they have suffered this time."

Luo Xueyao said with a wry smile, "Huh, such a good thing must be worthy of this lowly mother and daughter. It's not that she is really afraid of losing the Second Aunt, but the Second Aunt will soon taste the pain of loss."

Upon hearing the names of these two treasures, Second Aunt and Luo Yurou were so delighted. You know, these jewellery are rare treasures. They are of low status and usually can only envy them. This time, Luo Xueyao really showed her talent and it was worth her crying so hard just now.

"Okay, you have got the things, so go back first." Luo Xueyao took the things to send people away, and as soon as she took out the things, she started to drive people away. She didn't like the second aunt and her daughter, and now, seeing their ugly faces, she was even more annoyed.

No wonder daddy doesn't like them, they are such lowly creatures.

At this moment, Second Aunt no longer cared about Luo Xueyao's expression. All she had in her eyes were the pair of large, glittering golden bracelets. Although they looked tacky, Second Aunt liked them just the way she liked them.

Looking at the backs of Second Aunt and Luo Yurou, Luo Xueyao curled the corners of her lips slightly. No one knew why Aunt Ye had been unconscious for so long. Only she knew that Aunt Ye was unconscious not because she was scolded, but because she was poisoned.

As for the two people who had just taken her jewelry, Luo Xueyao just smiled contemptuously. They took money from others and helped them to eliminate disasters. They should just take the blame for the time being.

In Ningxue Pavilion, Aunt Ye has been in a coma for a whole day and has not yet woken up. He Hua, who was trapped in the yard with her, has already woken up and started to serve Aunt Ye.

Luo Xuening sighed: "He Hua, what was unusual when you were trapped in the yard?"

He Hua sighed and said, "I was in the kitchen at the time, making soup for Madam Ye. I felt the thick smoke outside and ran out to see that Madam Ye had already fainted."

"You mean, Madam Ye wasn't fainted by the thick smoke?"

"Miss, I'm not sure, because the kitchen is quite a distance away from the yard. I came out when I smelled the smoke, and there was some time in between. Maybe Madam Ye fainted in it during this time. I can't say for sure."

Luo Xue frowned and said, "It only takes an incense stick of time to walk from the kitchen to the yard. Although the door to the yard is closed, it is not sealed. In such a short time, it is impossible for Madam Ye to be fainted by the smoke, unless...?"

"Unless, there is something else in this thick smoke?"

"No."

Luo Xuening shook her head and said, "There are more people in this yard than just Madam Ye. If there is something else in the thick smoke, Madam Ye must not be the only one poisoned."

"The lady meant that Madam Ye's coma was not caused by the strong smoke, but didn't the doctor say that Madam Ye was just smoked and there was nothing else wrong?"

He Hua's face turned pale, and after she finished speaking, she frowned and looked at Aunt Ye who was lying unconscious on the bed.

"No, you can't trust what the doctor says."

He Hua shrank her neck, thinking that the young lady had been cheated by the unscrupulous doctor in the mansion before. This time, although a different doctor was chosen, there was no guarantee that those ulterior motives would not repeat the same trick and delay Madam Ye's condition in vain.

"Should we find another doctor to take a look at Aunt Ye's case?"

"No, go find the maid who sent for the doctor yesterday and ask her to send for him again."

"ah?"

He Hua looked at Luo Xuening in confusion, but seeing that Luo Xuening looked calm and composed, she finally suppressed her confusion and asked the doctor in question to come back to treat her aunt.
