Chapter 386 Cannon Fodder Bastard Sister (The End)
Chapter 386 Cannon Fodder Bastard Sister (The End)
"Consort, this is a great gift from the Imperial Concubine in the palace."
The eunuch stepped aside slightly and had two people brought in: Su Wanrou and her child.
This…
Su Wunian's pupils suddenly contracted. How could they be here? Where was Baili Xuance?
Confined in the palace, she received no news from the outside world and naturally did not know that Baili Xuance was dead.
At this moment, the eunuch personally handed her a large wooden box.
"Consort Su, open it. This is specially ordered by the Imperial Concubine, and you must open it yourself."
"Hurry up, I have to go back to the palace to report." The head eunuch's voice was sharp, and he looked impatient.
Few people visit this abandoned prince's mansion now; he even finds the place unlucky.
Su Wunian had a bad feeling. Looking at the wooden box in front of her, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She dared not open it, and she did not want to look at it.
"No, I don't want it. Take it back, you take it back."
Her emotions suddenly became agitated, and she staggered back half a step, her eyes filled with terror, as if the wooden box contained some kind of monstrous flood.
This displeased the eunuch, who was dawdling and wasting his time.
She gave a look to the person behind her, and two eunuchs stepped forward and forcefully pushed Su Wunian in front of the wooden box, wanting her to open it herself.
Having no other choice, Su Wunian finally reached out and shakily lifted the wooden box, collapsing to the ground.
Sure enough, it was him—
Baili Xuance's head was covered in blood, his eyes wide open in death.
"what!"
"what!"
She clutched her head and screamed, seemingly unable to accept the reality before her.
Seeing her like this, the eunuch finished his task and left with his men; he had no time to care about this.
Only Su Wanrou remained, holding the child's hand, looking down at her.
"Hahaha, Su Wunian, you've finally met your match."
"Hahaha, looking at you like this, could it be that you're having an affair with him? I'm dying of laughter. The legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor, the Crown Prince's concubine, and you're in love with my husband."
"Hehe, this is the only time I haven't lost to you."
As she laughed, Su Wanrou started to cry.
What right does she have to laugh at her? They are all the same now, and will all be trapped in this cage.
They all lost, to a third sister they had never respected. It was laughable.
Qingmo brought Su Wanrou over, so naturally she didn't intend to kill them.
Enemies are especially hostile when they meet. Since they hate each other so much, why not let them only be able to keep each other company from now on? That would be much better.

"Your Highness, your mother has sent a message through someone, wishing to see you."
"Well then, let's send someone to fetch her to the palace."
She leaned against the gilded soft couch, her palms gently supporting her temples, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of languor.
The palace maid knelt on the couch, slowly and deliberately massaging her shoulders and neck, not daring to make a sound.
"Heavier," she suddenly said, and the palace maid increased the pressure with her fingertips.
Everything seemed peaceful and serene.
How wonderful! Now she's living a good life.
She had little interest in being empress, and her son was left to be cared for by a nanny; she was content to simply enjoy life.
The emperor doesn't have to die for now; he can continue to attend court diligently. Once his son grows up, the old emperor can die.
Regardless, in this palace, her favor was unmatched, and no one dared to offend her.
"Your Majesty, the Madam has arrived."
She looked up and saw two palace maids leading a woman dressed in a blue dress into the hall; it was none other than Consort Wen.
When Aunt Wen saw her current appearance, a hint of joy appeared on her face, but she couldn't help feeling a little nervous and hurriedly tried to bow to her.
Qingmo raised her hand, and a palace maid helped her to her kneeling position.
“Aunt, there’s no need for such formalities. You are my mother, so there’s no need for these empty gestures.”
With the help of a palace maid, Consort Wen's fingertips trembled slightly. Her throat moved, but she ultimately didn't dare to call her by her name directly, only softly uttering, "Your Majesty..."
Seeing how nervous she was, Qingmo dismissed the palace maids.
“Aunt, there are no outsiders here now, so there’s no need to be so reserved. Just say what you need to say.”
Aunt Wen hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to start the conversation. After all, she didn't understand the affairs of the court, but the Grand Tutor had asked her to come, so she had no choice but to come.
“It was your father who sent me to the palace.”
"Oh! What is it?"
"He wants you to plead with His Majesty and see if you can get him to reinstate him."
Qingmo raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and simply asked, "Then what does Auntie want me to do?"
Aunt Wen twisted the handkerchief in her hand, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. However, what she said was something Qingmo did not expect.
“Daughter, if you’re in a difficult position, then forget it. Why don’t you give your mother some more money so that I can separate from your father?”
"Then you can contribute some money to buy me a house, so that I can enjoy being a lady of old age."
“I don’t want to serve that old bastard of yours anymore. My daughter has finally made something of herself, who would want to be his concubine?”
"Even if you asked me to be your wife, I wouldn't want to."
Once the words were out in the open, Aunt Wen stopped hiding them and went all out.
In short, it boils down to this: I want to live a life of luxury on my own, so give me more money to enjoy my retirement.
Qingmo couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Wen remained as genuine as ever.
All she cared about was wealth and status; she was vain. Now that she had a chance to turn her life around, she no longer cared about that old geezer, the Grand Tutor.
Think of that mother and daughter, they've been invisible in the mansion for so many years, and now they only remember her when they need something? Dream on.
Qingmo readily agreed to all of her requests.
Not only did her father, the Grand Tutor, release her from her servitude, but the Emperor also bestowed upon her the title of Lady of the Imperial Decree, granting her a grand mansion and making her a prominent figure in the circle of imperial concubines.
Because her daughter is a concubine and her grandson is the crown prince, everyone who sees her must respectfully address her as "Old Madam."
As for that old scoundrel, the Grand Tutor, let him fend for himself.
Qingmo was living a comfortable life, but three months later, news came.
"Your Highness, the woman in the Prince's mansion has gone mad. She killed Su Wanrou and didn't even spare the two children. In the end, she hanged herself with a white silk ribbon."
She also left you a message, saying, "See you in the next life."
Ah, after hearing the eunuch's report, Qingmo also smiled.
Others might not understand what Su Wunian meant, but she did.
She probably wants to be reborn.
If there's one, there's two, why can't there be three?
Next time, she felt confident she could win, so she decided to take the gamble.
Qingmo didn't care about this; it was just a task for her.
Even if Su Wunian does have a next life, she will be long gone.
If it's still her, then Su Wunian is just unlucky.
She didn't know if Su Wunian could start over, but it was none of her business anyway.
To be fair, Su Wunian, as the female lead, did nothing wrong; she simply eliminated the threat completely, and Qingmo even admired her for it.
Unfortunately, she happened to run into her target.
Well then, I'm sorry, but I just hope that in your next life, you can truly start a story of a leading lady.
As an empress dowager, Qingmo was always hardworking and never had any intention of ruling from behind the curtain.
She politely declined; she wouldn't do something like that.
"Ding, congratulations on completing the mission. We will take you away from this world immediately."
"Ding, area score settled: 1000, balance..."
Cultivation reached the peak of the Human Immortal realm.
"Xiao Wu, let's start the next mission."
