nThe First Lady’s yard was also a mess, the plants and flowers were uprooted in the garden.

nThey set the garden on fire to burn the venomous insects and now they were busy cleaning the mess.

nLuo Jingxuan was the first one who noticed there were venomous insects in their yard, he informed Luo Yuyan and the First Lady on time so they were fine.

n

n

nThe First Lady was furious, she scolded the servants, “You useless good-for-nothing, the lots of you, why are there so many insects in my garden and my yard?”

nThe servants kowtowed to her, they thumped their heads on the ground, “To reply to the First Lady, we have no idea about this, we having been working hard sprinkling the powder and taking care of the garden, everything has been fine till tonight.”

nThe First Lady was a smart woman, she squinted her eyes and knew what the servants said were true.

nThis by no means was a coincidence, someone was behind the scene!

n

n

n“Could it be the Second Concubine?” murmured the First Lady.

nLuo Yuyan was standing right next to her mother and she heard that, “It must be them, dad is not at ours tonight, they just took advantage of that and put those disgusting creatures in our yard.”

nLuo Jingxuan frowned, how come he didn’t see the reason why the Second Concubine would do them, he didn’t think the Second Concubine and Luo Keer would risk being discovered. But somehow he thought it was that girl… …

nHong Yu who just went out to pry into information now came back, “To reply to the First Lady, insects were also found in the Second Concubine’s yard, and His Lordship is on his way here.”

n

n

n“What?” asked the First Lady in shock.

n‘Insects were also found in the Second Concubine’s yard?’ it was getting more and more complicated and confusing.

nIt was not that woman who was behind the scene then, they wouldn’t do this to themselves to make it look more convincing, it was simply too dangerous!

n“Is it that bitchy girl?” murmured the First Lady and Luo Yuyan at the same time, they looked at each other and they found shock and fear in each other’s eyes.

nWas it really her?

nSince when that good-for-nothing became a force to be reckon with?

n

n

nThey wouldn’t even suspect her a single bit in the past, but recently she had become so articulate and resourceful, she had got herself out of dangerous situations for multiple times now.

nLuo Jingxuan took a deep breath and tried to calm down, it looked like his instincts were right.

nIt was a sleepless night for the whole mansion except Luo Qianqian and Xiao Yue.

nPrime Minister Luo rushed to the court the next morning despite the two yards were still in chaos, the two ladies were both hatching a plot against Luo Qianqian.

nThe Second Concubine asked Xiao Cui about the cobra, Xiao Cui swore to God that she put several cobras on Luo Qianqian’s bed, but she knew nothing about the venomous insects in their own yard.

nTherefore it was not a mistake made by Xiao Cui.

nThe Second Concubine asked several servants about whether there were those venomous insects in Luo Pavilion, no one knew.

nThe Second Concubine was getting more and more furious, how come the plan backfired! They wanted Luo Qianqian to suffer, but they didn’t hear any updates about that and they suffered some venomous insects themselves!

n

n

nLuo Yuyan was feeling the same way, she desperately wanted to know whether Luo Qianqian was alive, she and The Second Concubine decided to pay a visit to Luo Pavilion.

nThey wouldn’t be held accountable even though Luo Qianqian would really be found dead on her bed. There was no evidence.

nMeanwhile the First Lady were discussing with Luo Yuyan and Luo Jingxuan, after some heated discussion, they reached a conclusion that Luo Qianqian was still alive. And she found out it was them who sent the killers to ambush her and Xiao Cui.

nShe put the venomous insects as a revenge.

nThe more the First Lady thought about it, the more panicked she got. She sent over ten killers to ambush her, yet somehow she escaped and revenged herself that very night!

nThe First Lady knew she needed to be more decisive on this matter, otherwise Luo Qianqian would settle scores with her and her kids one day soon. As much as she hated to admit it, she was now terrified to pay this visit to Luo Qianqian.

nA long delay might cause more trouble, how The First Lady wished she could finish Luo Qianqian on this very day, otherwise she won’t have a good night’s sleep for long.

nThe two women, along with their daughters, were marching down to Luo Pavilion. And they met each other at the gate.

nSeeing The First Lady and Luo Yuyan, The Second Concubine looked very surprised, “Greetings, good sister, what are the odds? What brings you here?”

nThe First Lady put on a false smile, “My good sister, and you are here for?”

nThe Second Concubine smiled happily and slighted lowered her head showing her respect to The First Lady, “Excuse me for my question, you are the hostess of this mansion, of course I’m in no position to ask a question like that. Silly me, please forgive me, my good sister.”

nFlattery always worked like a charm, and The First Lady was no exception.

nShe smiled and sneered, totally oblivious to the killing intent flashed across The Second Concubine’s eyes.

n

n

n“Greetings, Mother and Second Sister.” Luo Keer greeted them in a lovable way.

nBefore they walked out of their yard, The Second Concubine had already told Luo Keer to behave herself if they ran into The First Lady, they needed to stay together to defeat Luo Qianqian.

nA common enemy united the two women who remained friendly in appearance but estranged at heart.

nIt seemed like they had thrown all the conflicts they had into the winds.

n“Tell me, what are you doing here?” asked The First Lady in a serious manner.

n“Such horrible things happened last night, I’m worried about Little Four, so I took Keer to check on Qianqian.” replied The Second Concubine in a coy way.

nThe First Lady didn’t buy that, she was no fool. But she was glad that she was joined by them, they could face that bitchy girl together!

nShe nodded and quit asking more questions, “Very good, I’m here to check on her too.”

nThe Second Concubine lowered her head and complimented The First Lady again, “As busy as you are, my sister, you spare time to visit Little Four, that’s so nice of you.”

nThe First Lady smiled again.

nThey both felt great that they had got company now, it didn’t matter who the company was, the only thing mattered now was they had a common enemy and they needed to cooperate.

n“Madam, the gate… the gate is still closed.” the servants stammered.

n“Crash it.” ordered The First Lady with indifference.

nThe First Lady couldn’t wait for one more second, she desperately wanted to know how Luo Qianqian was doing! Her daughter Luo Yuyan once was set up by Luo Qianqian, she needed to at least vent her spleen for that one.

nThe servants exchanged a look and obeyed, they lined up and crashed the door hard with their shoulders and arms.

nBang. Bang.

nThe gate was soon wobbling, it was just a matter of time that they crashed the door open.

nHearing the loud bang, Xiao Yue who just got up rushed out from her room, the puppy she and Luo Qianqian just got followed along.

nXiao Yue opened the door and saw the visitors, she kowtowed and hastily greeted them.

nThe First Lady ignored her completely, “Where is Luo Qianqian? Tell her I’m here.”

nXiao Yue didn’t know it was the madam who sent the killers to ambush them.

nShe bit her lips and answered, “To reply to The First Lady, my lady… my lady is still in bed.”
