73 -73: Set a Trap for the Gentleman!

“Third Lady!

Third Lady!

Disaster has struck!”

Early the next morning, Luo Xinning had just managed to fall asleep after much tossing and turning, when she heard a clamorous uproar outside.

“What’s the matter?

So much commotion so early in the morning!”

She rubbed her forehead, a look of displeasure on her face.

Luo Xinning had spent the whole night pondering the changes in Luo Qingtong after her return, as well as how to preserve the two items she had acquired, only falling asleep when dawn was about to break.

Naturally, her mood turned sour when she was suddenly awakened by the ruckus.

“No, no, Third Lady!

It’s Lady Luo!

No, that’s not it!

A hanged woman’s corpse has appeared at the city gates!

A wailing old woman claims it’s our family’s Lady Luo!

And now she’s been arrested!”

“She said it was you!

You ordered her to go there!

As long as there’s a naked corpse hanging at the city gates, alive or dead, just wailing that it’s the Luo Family’s Lady Luo would suffice!”

The maid who came to report was utterly panic-stricken, took a good while to blurt out coherently what had happened.

“What?!”

Luo Xinning’s face showed shock, and all traces of drowsiness vanished in an instant.

She felt as if she had been doused with ice water from head to toe!

She had indeed made such arrangements before, but after the drastic events on Jiuyu Mountain, she thought Luo Qingtong was a goner, and since she had already obtained the two items of the Luo Family, she let the matter drop!

How could a woman’s corpse suddenly appear, and an old woman crying out Luo Qingtong’s name?

Luo Qingtong had clearly already returned to the Luo Residence!

Wait a minute!

Not many people knew about Luo Qingtong’s return to the Luo Residence!

Could it be someone else…?

As Luo Xinning thought this, a name suddenly appeared in her mind—Yu Wenxue!

The Tianyu Royal Family’s Seventh Princess Yu Wenxue!

To have Luo Qingtong hanged at the city gates, abused and then exposed for everyone to see, falling from grace—this was what the Seventh Princess had proposed before!

Could this charade be her doing?

While Luo Xinning considered this, she felt both urgency and anger.

“That foolish woman!”

Luo Xinning almost wrung her handkerchief to shreds!

This Yu Wenxue, was truly too spoiled and willful!

Doesn’t she know how to read the situation at all?!

Such a major incident, why would she act without consulting me first?!

She really is about to get me killed!

Luo Xinning was fuming with anger.

Just as she was considering how to disassociate herself and extract herself from this situation, a Token suddenly shot in from outside, landing on her dressing table with a clang!

“Plan failed, come immediately!”

Seeing the Handkerchief tied to the Dark Guard Token, Luo Xinning nearly broke her own fingernails in frustration.

“Now you remember to think of me at this time!”

She gritted her teeth with resentment, yet she couldn’t afford to ignore it.

Now, she could only rely on Yu Wenxue.

Ever since Luo Qingtong returned, she had changed dramatically; if she caught wind of Luo Xinning’s vulnerability, the two items she had managed to gain would definitely not be secured!

But it would be different if she aligned with Yu Wenxue!

The people of the Yuwen Royal Family would certainly help cover up such an unsavory incident!

Luo Qingtong was blind, so by all logic and emotion, she was the only possible successor to the Marquis Mansion!

The two items should rightfully belong to her!

Thinking this, Luo Xinning’s face contorted with malevolent resolve.

She quickly got ready and stealthily left her room, concealing her tracks as she exited the Luo Residence.

“Send the signal, inform Marquis that Luo Xinning has left the house!”

Outside the Luo Residence, a team lay in hiding; upon seeing Luo Xinning leaving the house, they immediately sent out a signal!
