Luo Ningshuang looked at Luo Zhiheng impatiently, puzzled as to why she was still perfectly fine after all this time. Logically, her medicine should have taken effect soon.
Perhaps her will was too strong, for the next moment Luo Zhiheng suddenly slumped onto the table, her whole body writhing uncontrollably. A soft, distressed moan escaped her throat, a sound she seemed unable to articulate.
"Sister! What's wrong?" Luo Ningshuang's eyes lit up, but she asked warily.
Luo Zhiheng said weakly, "I don't know. I suddenly feel so hot and uncomfortable. I have no strength at all."
Knowing the properties of the medicine Luo Ningshuang possessed—as her wet nurse had mentioned—Luo Zhiheng easily revealed them. If you're going to pretend, you have to make it convincing; otherwise, how can you be sure what she's thinking?
"Are you hot? Is there anything else you're feeling? For example, do you want anything?" Luo Ningshuang's voice carried a strange danger, a probing yet also a kind of warning. Her gaze towards Luo Zhiheng was fierce.
Luo Zhiheng felt a chill in her heart. She pressed her face against the table, her eyes tightly shut. When she opened them again, her eyes were filled with shattered light and shadow. A weak smile played on her lips as she weakly said, "I want...I want someone to touch me..."
Luo Ningshuang was horrified to hear her say such a thing, but then suddenly burst into laughter: "Luo Zhiheng, you really have no shame! How dare you say such a thing? Do you want someone to touch you? Tell me, who do you want to touch you? Mu Yunhe? Hahahaha, don't even dream about it! From today onwards, you will have nothing to do with Mu Yunhe!"
Luo Zhiheng suddenly raised her head, shouting as if incredulous and angry, "What did you say?" 17070219
"What did I say? I said today is your death day!" Luo Ningshuang stood up. Although she felt very hot at this moment, she felt excited because she could finally settle the pent-up hatred of two lifetimes with her own hands. She felt that it was normal for her blood to boil.
She walked up to Luo Zhiheng, grabbed her hand, and pulled her back forcefully. Her gaze was no longer gentle and tender, but filled with undisguised malice and disgust: "I've finally waited for this day. I'll ruin your reputation, make you suffer at the hands of men, and let you taste the bitterness of being despised, hated, and abandoned! Luo Zhiheng, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?"
Luo Zhiheng's pupils contracted. She didn't flinch, but looked at her with icy eyes: "Why do you hate me so much?"
From the very beginning, she sensed Luo Ningshuang's hatred and hostility towards her, so she never gave Luo Ningshuang a friendly look. However, she also knew the bond of blood; how could kinship be easily severed? She disliked Luo Ningshuang, but as long as Luo Ningshuang didn't cross her bottom line, she could ignore Luo Ningshuang's existence.
But what she shouldn't have done was covet her Mu Yunhe! Luo Zhiheng's husband cannot be shared! 197.
No matter the era, she would never share a husband with another woman; she felt it was filthy! Especially Mu Yunhe. She loved Mu Yunhe and could not tolerate him having other women, much less any other woman coveting him. Especially since that woman was her own sister!
Luo Zhiheng can't afford to lose face like this!
All she's doing now is to lure the snake out of its hole. She wants to see just how ruthless Luo Ningshuang can be, and why she's become so twisted.
"Why do I hate you so much? Don't you know? You stole everything that belonged to me, you deserve to die! Why were you born a pampered princess, while I was born to face a bleak life? We are twins, both father's biological daughters, but you can be spoiled and playful in his arms, while I can only be like a lowly thorn, exposed and buried in the dust and corners."
"Everything you do is right, and everything I do is a disaster, but do you know what? You are the one who deserves to die the most! Fatherly love, brotherly care, the eldest daughter of the family, everything belongs to you! But you never think of sharing a single thing with me! I have been living in your shadow all my life. Can you see my pain and despair? Now you even fight me for my marriage. Are you even human?" Luo Ningshuang roared viciously, blaming all the mistakes on Luo Zhiheng.
"Wasn't this marriage something you didn't want first? You were the one who didn't want to marry Mu Yunhe, which is why you schemed against me. Now you're saying I was fighting with you for it? Luo Ningshuang, where is your moral bottom line?" Luo Zhiheng felt she had encountered the most ridiculous and absurd logic and insane ideas. Had Luo Ningshuang gone mad? By blaming others for her own mistakes, did she really think she was completely innocent?
With a snap!
Luo Ningshuang slapped Luo Zhiheng hard across the face.
Luo Zhiheng could have avoided it, but she didn't. Since she was going to break off all pretense of civility, she naturally had to find a good reason for herself. The more ruthless Luo Ningshuang was towards her now, the more vicious she could be towards Luo Ningshuang!
Luo Ningshuang slapped him with a sense of satisfaction, as if the anger and resentment that had been suppressed for too long were finally unleashed with this slap. Bearing what she perceived as a bloody wound, she angrily said, "So what if I schemed against you? They schemed to make me marry a sickly man, all waiting to see me fail. But what about you? You're my own sister, and you didn't say a word in my defense. You even dared to join them in mocking me, saying I'd be a widow after marrying into the family? You're cursing me! Why can't I make that curse your nightmare?"
"But Mu Yunhe is still alive! He should have belonged to me! You must have known that Mu Yunhe could be cured, so you deliberately provoked me, made me afraid to marry him, and then plotted against you. Luo Zhiheng, you are so cruel! You even stole your own brother-in-law! You shameless slut!" Luo Ningshuang became more and more excited as she spoke her twisted logic, and slapped Luo Zhiheng again, knocking her to the ground.
Luo Ningshuang laughed loudly, her voice sounding almost manic. But at this moment, her face was distorted by hatred, her eyes were bloodshot, she was panting heavily, and her body was gradually losing strength. She felt increasingly hot and aroused, and a strange itching sensation in her body made her want to do something uncontrollably.
Luo Zhiheng sneered without looking up, and asked, "So you've fallen in love with Mu Yunhe? You're unwilling for Mu Yunhe to be with me, and you want to steal him away? You're willing to kill your own sister for a man?"
"So what if I am? You should have died long ago! It's my mercy that allowed you to live until today. You've been riding high lately, haven't you? You think you're so great? Desert Goddess? All-around genius? Hmph, bullshit! You're just a filthy, despicable slut! Today I'm going to show everyone just how vile and lewd you are." Luo Ningshuang sneered without any restraint.
Her plan was simple: first, annihilate, then kill! She had everything prepared. She wanted Luo Zhiheng to experience the taste of being raped, then watch Mu Yunhe personally divorce her, causing her immense pain, and finally kill her!
What a perfect plan! To stage the hottest show in this luxurious restaurant, so that all the dignitaries coming and going will know, and perhaps some will even witness Luo Zhiheng being raped.
"What exactly did you do to me?" Luo Zhiheng finally looked up and asked coldly.
Luo Ningshuang suppressed the increasingly intense tingling sensation, her voice losing its force and instead becoming unnaturally soft: "What did I do? I just added a little something to your tea, a little aphrodisiac, a potent aphrodisiac, guaranteed to make you not want to let go once you touch a man!"
Luo Zhiheng gasped. That's damn ruthless! They say the most poisonous heart is a woman's, and today she truly witnessed it.
Now that she knows her true colors and purpose, as well as the source of her hatred, Luo Zhiheng no longer needs to pretend.
At that moment, Luo Ningshuang suddenly collapsed to the ground, unable to hold back her sobs any longer. Her face was ashen, her eyes glazed over, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Uncontrollable terror was displayed on her face. Before her eyes, Luo Zhiheng suddenly raised her head, then slowly stood up, her gaze cold and her face weathered, displaying Luo Zhiheng's usual ruthlessness and arrogance.
"How...how could this be?!" Luo Ningshuang exclaimed in shock. A person under the influence of this aphrodisiac shouldn't be able to stand up, and her body seemed to be behaving very strangely as well.
"Why not? Don't you also feel like someone wants to touch you right now?" Luo Zhiheng's voice seemed to come from the polar ice cap, so low and so cold. Ning Zhixiao looked on intently.
She approached Luo Ningshuang expressionlessly, and to Luo Ningshuang's horrified gaze, she kicked Luo Ningshuang hard in the stomach. The kick sent Luo Ningshuang sliding backward a considerable distance, causing her more pain than desire.
"Consider this kick as repayment for those two slaps you gave me. Luo Ningshuang, you'll have to taste all the bitter fruit of your actions today! You framed me and plotted against me, so I won't show you any mercy. You want to ruin my reputation? Fine, but you'll have to taste the bitterness of ruin first!!" Luo Zhiheng's ruthless voice carried a sense of determination and eeriness.
She swapped clothes with Luo Ningshuang, letting Luo Ningshuang wear her clothes while she herself disguised herself as Luo Ningshuang. Under Luo Ningshuang's terrified gaze, she cruelly laughed, "Look forward to the person who will soon cure you. I'm still too merciful!"
"What are you going to do to me?" Luo Ningshuang roared in terror.
"Just do what you want to do to me." Luo Zhiheng sneered, and the moment she opened the door, she seemed to collapse as if she were about to be blown away by a gust of wind.

"Miss? How is she?" The moment Luo Zhiheng opened the door, Chun Nuan, who was guarding the doorway, immediately asked anxiously. She couldn't hear anything from inside, and she didn't recognize the woman in front of her.
Miss? So Luo Ningshuang had people address her as Miss in private. She really is obsessed with being called Miss.
Luo Zhiheng laughed with extreme sarcasm, but her gaze was gentle yet ruthless. Her voice was surprisingly similar to Luo Ningshuang's: "It's all done. Let's leave here quickly. You go back to the palace first. I still have some things to take care of."
"This servant will go with you," Chunnuan said, still worried. (17070226)
"No need, you should leave quickly so no one finds out," Luo Zhiheng urged.
“Then this servant will leave first. The people you instructed me to find are already waiting downstairs. I only need to give the order, and they will come up immediately,” Chunnuan added.
Luo Zhiheng's heart skipped a beat, and she asked casually, "How many people did you find?" Who were these people?
“Four? Didn’t you say the more the better? Don’t worry, they will definitely ruin Luo Zhiheng’s reputation.” Chun Nuan said in a low voice.
Luo Zhiheng's heart was ice-cold. She suppressed the urge to cripple Chunnuan and urged her to leave. Watching Chunnuan leave, Luo Zhiheng smiled coldly. She wasn't in a hurry to leave; she wanted to see what Luo Ningshuang was up to with the four men she'd brought. Luo Zhiheng had a vague idea, but she still needed to see it for herself.
She just wanted to know just how cruel and ruthless Luo Ningshuang would be to her.
They entered a room opposite the private room and peeked through the crack in the door. They watched as four well-dressed men walked up and entered the previous room, where Luo Ningshuang was now. The door then closed.
Luo Zhiheng's brows were filled with a cold, sharp intensity, like a raging storm!
The presence of these four men speaks volumes! Luo Ningshuang brought these men to destroy her! Luo Ningshuang wanted her to be gang-raped and raped?! This idea had become a reality, and Luo Zhiheng felt as if she had fallen into an abyss. She was so enraged that she wanted to tear Luo Zhiheng to pieces.
If she hadn't been prepared, if she hadn't been alert, she would be lying in that room now, helpless and on the verge of ruin. She would be the one being violated and abused!
Luo Ningshuang, you really are ruthless! But now you'll reap what you sow! You orchestrated all of this, but now it's all come crashing down on you. She'll see what it's like to taste the bitter fruit of your own design!
Luo Zhiheng could have chosen to rush in and save Luo Ningshuang. But why?!
Why should she continue to be merciful to a woman who has been plotting to kill her? Should she wait until the day when she is truly ruined by Luo Ningshuang's schemes and becomes a plaything for a group of filthy men, only to feel regret and hatred in the dishes?
No way! She doesn't want to be a saint! If someone treats me with respect, I'll treat them with equal respect, but if they dare to offend her, then you'd better pray for good luck, because she will never show mercy to her enemies!
Luo Zhiheng watched, impressed by the excellent soundproofing of this high-end restaurant. At least, conversations inside were completely inaudible outside. However, an unexpected event occurred. A man walked into Luo Zhiheng's room.
Bai Mingyue!
Luo Zhiheng frowned, suddenly recalling the feeling she'd been constantly being watched. Had Bai Mingyue been following them? What did he want?
Bai Mingyue stood in front of Luo Ningshuang's door, his face obscured, but his movements seemed hesitant. He even glanced back at Luo Zhiheng, whose gaze was clear to Luo Zhiheng—a wolfish glint that held a half-smile.
Luo Zhiheng was startled, but then she thought, what could he do even if he kept following her? Now that she had changed her clothes, Bai Mingyue wouldn't know she was Luo Zhiheng; he would only mistake the person in the room for Luo Zhiheng. Relieved, Luo Zhiheng then saw Bai Mingyue kick open the door and walk in.
"Damn it! What is he going to do?" Luo Zhiheng was extremely surprised, but she didn't stop him. 1 It's all fate. If Bai Mingyue wanted to save Luo Ningshuang, then it was Luo Ningshuang's good fortune, and she wouldn't stop her either.
A short while later, the four men in the room scrambled out, each of them disheveled, and one of them even had his pants up while running out.
Had these four people succeeded? Then Bai Mingyue should come out with Luo Ningshuang, right? But Luo Zhiheng miscalculated. Not only did Bai Mingyue not come out, but she stayed inside for over an hour. Luo Zhiheng waited there, her face contorted with rage.
Logically, Bai Mingyue would definitely mistake the person inside for Luo Zhiheng, but he'd been inside for so long; what happened is obvious. It's normal for Luo Zhiheng to look unwell. It's just unexpected that Luo Ningshuang and Bai Mingyue would run into each other; is it fate or bad luck? (The last sentence appears to be a separate, unrelated thought.)
Bai Mingyue had been following Luo Zhiheng everywhere. He was thrilled to run into her on the street. His infatuation with Luo Zhiheng bordered on obsession, perhaps not a deep or profound love, but driven by the inability to possess her. Luo Zhiheng never showed him any kindness, regardless of his status; she could treat him cruelly. It was precisely this kind of woman that made her so unforgettable, and Bai Mingyue was that kind of stubborn, unyielding woman.
So when he finished his imperial errand and happened to run into the antique dealer, recognizing him as Luo Zhiheng, whom he had been longing for, he couldn't help but follow him. Bai Mingyue felt that today was truly his lucky day, because from the whispers of the maid and the four men, he learned that they were plotting against Luo Zhiheng. And Luo Zhiheng was very likely already under the influence of aphrodisiacs.
This news both enraged and excited Bai Mingyue. He couldn't suppress his desire for Luo Zhiheng and wanted to possess her, and today was the perfect opportunity. He waited until Luo Ningshuang came out and knew that Luo Ningshuang hadn't left, but he wasn't afraid because the two of them were evenly matched and both wanted to harm Luo Zhiheng.
However, Bai Mingyue believed that she wasn't harming Luo Zhiheng, but rather helping her. He was willing to give Luo Zhiheng a proper status even if she were possessed by him, but if she were possessed by four unrelated men, wouldn't that bury Luo Zhiheng's talent and beauty?
Bai Mingyue could have saved this woman, but his initial thought was not to save her but to possess her. He never intended to pull the woman he loved out of the pit of conspiracy; all he wanted was to finally get Luo Zhiheng.
So when he saw the four men groping Luo Ningshuang, and saw that Luo Ningshuang's clothes had been torn to shreds, and that the woman lying before him with her jade-like body was the desert goddess he had longed for day and night! Bai Mingyue's eyes instantly reddened. He felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by desire, and he wished he could have her immediately.
He stroked Luo Ningshuang's cheek, his trembling hand pinching her exposed breasts, playing with and kneading them wantonly, showing no tenderness whatsoever. He was doing this to Luo Ningshuang with a vengeful attitude.
"Desert Goddess? Do you know you look like a complete slut right now? I never thought I could get you under these circumstances, but no matter what, I'll do anything to get you! My Desert Goddess, I fell deeply in love with you the moment I first saw you. Do you know how much I've suffered loving you? But you dared not even look at me, humiliated me, and stepped over me! I'm going to turn you from a goddess into a slut!" Bai Mingyue said viciously and maniacally, her actions equally brutal.
But at this moment, how could Luo Ningshuang possibly discern anything clearly? She was already delirious from the torment of lust. All she wanted was for a man to penetrate her and possess her. Like a wanton prostitute, she shamelessly twisted her body, clinging to Bai Mingyue.
"How despicable! You have a good sister, and I should really thank her. If it weren't for her, how could I have gotten you so easily? No matter what difficulties we face in the future, I will definitely snatch you from Mu Yunhe's hands. Now, I'm going to make you my woman, Bai Mingyue's woman!!" Bai Mingyue declared viciously.
He hastily stripped off his robes and thrust himself into her body without any tenderness...
At that moment, both of them regained their senses. Luo Ningshuang screamed in pain, while Bai Mingyue went crazy with excitement and shock.
"Heng'er! You're still a virgin?!" Bai Mingyue was extremely excited, and while he was suppressing his strong urges, his sinister gaze suddenly softened.
I always knew Luo Zhiheng was a virgin, but without verifying it myself, who knows for sure? Although Mu Yunhe was sickly, the powerful aura he exuded on several occasions, which made me feel humbled, suggested he must be quite dominant in bed as well. Perhaps Luo Zhiheng was already his woman. Now that Mu Yunhe is better, it's possible she might submit to him in bed.
But the surprise came too quickly and too intensely! Bai Mingyue was overjoyed. The woman he loved was still a virgin; he had possessed her innocence! What could be more exciting than this news? Bai Mingyue suddenly wanted to cherish her dearly. 19.
"Does it hurt? Be good, Heng'er, it won't hurt for long. Remember, I'm your man! I'm Bai Mingyue, and from now on you belong to me, forever and ever, to only one man, understand? I will cherish Heng'er. Baby, you're so tight," Bai Mingyue said affectionately, breathing heavily.
