Chapter 107: Suppressing Her Aun (1/2)

“Are you injured?” Bai Luochu’s first statement wasn’t to question why Qianqian and her aunt were here. She showed her concern for Cai Ling and asked if she suffered injuries instead.

Cai Ling shook her head in response and felt that she was really too lucky. She immediately denied, “This servant isn’t injured. Many thanks for Mistress’ concern.”

Bai Luochu heard everything from inside and she wanted to wait for Qianqian to barge into the room. She didn’t expect that Qianqian would actually make a move on Cai Ling. In the end, Bai Luochu disregarded everything and appeared to prevent Cai Ling from getting hurt. When she thought about this, Bai Luochu felt rather guilty and looked at Cai Ling with apologetic eyes. She comforted Cai Ling, “I came late and made you suffer. Don’t worry, I will not let any one of them off.” After she spoke, Bai Luochu turned around and glared at the mother and daughter pair. The look in her eyes was completely different as a ruthless light flashed through them.

Bai Luochu had a principle. ‘If you treat me well, I will do the same. If you come looking for trouble and touch the people that I, Bai Luochu, want to protect, don’t blame me for being ruthless.’

When Qianqian saw Bai Luochu’s terrifying eyes, she immediately trembled with fear. The words became stuck in her throat and she shuffled her feet backwards. She hid behind her mother as she was afraid Bai Luochu would move against her.

The madam’s scalp was also feeling numb. She heard that the lass was a completely different person after coming back. This was actually the first time she was directly confronting Bai Luochu. When she saw the look in Bai Luochu’s eyes, she knew that her daughter wasn’t lying to her. Whatever the case, she felt that she had to go through with her action now that they were here. When she thought about it, she turned to look at her incompetent daughter who was initially able to suppress Bai Luochu. How did the roles get reversed?!

“Hahaha. Luo Chu, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Recently, the capital has a lot of crooks mixing in with the common folks. When I was taking a stroll in the residence with Qianqian earlier, we saw a black shadow heading towards this place. We thought it was an intruder and quickly brought the guards over to take a look. It was to prevent you from running into trouble.” The aunt responded by laughing and beating around the bush. However, her neck was stretched out as she peeked into the room.

Bai Luochu sneered in her heart but her expression didn’t change. “Since that is the case, why are you dealing with my servant? All of you should know that Cai Ling is my personal servant. Are you trying to disrespect me by brushing her off?!”

She was trying to agitate Bai Luochu so that she could barge into the courtyard with a valid reason.

Bai Luochu chuckled and said, “Heh. Since that is the case, this niece will give my thanks to aunt’s kindness. If aunt wants to search, you can go on ahead and search. You better search carefully. If you fail to find anything, I’ll make sure all your servants pay the price for wasting my time. Of course, I won’t do anything to you…”

When everyone heard Bai Luochu’s words, they felt a chill down their spines and their scalp grew numb. They were used to acting arrogantly in the residence but all of them were cowering right now. They didn’t dare to take a step into the courtyard. However, the madam felt that Bai Luochu was merely bluffing and if she were to retreat now, she would be embarrassing herself.

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and search! Search carefully!” After the guard servants heard the orders, they reluctantly entered to search.
