Chapter 61: Being Ungrateful is Worse Than Being a Pig or a Dog
"Boom!"
As everyone watched, the Second Lady couldn't withstand the shock and collapsed to the ground with a snap.
Today, she faced utter humiliation! She was beaten at the gate of the Hou Mansion.
Forget it.
Despite all her efforts, she couldn't refute Luo Qingtong's identity.
Why was she subjected to such a beating?
Unable to bear it, the Second Lady fainted.
"Third sister?"
Luo Qingtong turned her head towards Luo Xinning, raised her hand, and gestured to the maid beside her.
"Handkerchief."
Upon hearing this, the maid quickly handed over the handkerchief.
"Miss, I'm sorry," the maid apologized softly.
She had also taken part in the earlier assault on Luo Qingtong.
"It doesn't matter."
Luo Qingtong decided not to argue with these people. She had already dealt with the instigator, the Second Madam!
Moreover, she had redirected the people's earlier attacks toward the Second Lady.
Once he regains consciousness, he will likely take his anger out on them.
Whether they can escape this predicament depends on their cleverness.
After wiping her hands meticulously with the handkerchief, Luo Qingtong tossed it to the ground disdainfully.
She looked up with a faint smile, finding where Luo Xinning's voice had come from, and said, "Dear sister, it feels like a lifetime since we last met. I've truly missed you!"
Luo Qingtong's words were precise.
Aside from the members of the Tianyu royal family, the person the original owner despised the most until his death was Luo Xinning! Luo Qingtong was unwilling to be consumed by the original owner's grudges, but she despised deceitful people the most.
Luo Xinning exemplified this, and she was the one Luo Qingtong scorned the most.
Be smart if you claim to be smart! Be ambitious if that's your nature!
But Luo Xinning should not have used and trampled on the original owner, who was wholly sincere to her, to climb to power.
If it weren't for the original Luo Qingtong, Luo Xinning would have been neglected to death in this backyard when she was weak and sick!
What didn't the original owner give to her, including her talents and strength?
Without the original owner, how could she have accessed precious medicinal herbs or found a pharmacist for treatment?
Without the original owner, would her martial arts potential have been realized?
A weakling! What prospects could she have had?
The original owner secretly shared his training resources with her, giving her the strength she now possesses.
The original owner was Mr. Luo's most beloved granddaughter, the sole heir of the main family, and the future fifth princess of the Tianyu Empire!
The resources at her disposal were far superior to those of ordinary young ladies from lesser noble families of smaller nations!
Even members of the Dongli royal family were envious of Luo Qingtong's opportunities and constantly sought ways to ingratiate themselves with her!
However, because the original owner pitied Luo Xinning's frailty, he gave most of his resources to his sister, who had been "delicate" since childhood!
The martial arts resources Luo Xinning received far exceeded those given to Luo Qingtong!
Because of the extensive resources and medicinal materials, Luo Xinning's frail body did not hinder her martial arts development!
Without the original owner, Luo Xinning would be nothing! How could it be her turn to scheme against the original owner and take his place?
But what did she do? She crippled the original owner's cultivation, blinded him with poison, and left him to be killed by a group of mysterious men in black!
Did she despise the original owner so much?
Why should she hate him?
Without the original owner, she would have been less significant than a guard dog in the Luo family!
She may occupy the position of heir to the Hou Mansion, she may grasp power, but she should not have done so by harming the original owner!
If she is capable and wishes to replace the original owner, why should she fear her inability to do so?
Luo Qingtong sneered.
To put it bluntly, it is ungratefulness, worse than being a pig or a dog!
