nThe Drunken Cloud was situated in the bustling area of the Capital. It was a place where businesses flourished, where there were beautiful people, delicious food and wine. Additionally, there were some side businesses.

nInside, there were luxurious buildings with eight white jade pillars on all four walls, and a total of five floors.

nThe peony rug on the floor was embroidered with gold thread.

nThe higher the floor of the five-floored building, the wider and more lavish it was. Naturally, prices also increased, the higher the floor.

nIt’s said that the fifth floor raked in over a thousand taels in one night.

nIn that very moment, Liu Rushuang sat in a guest room on the fifth floor.

nWith one hand on the table and her eyes closed, she felt the pain from her cheeks. One of her hands was tightly clenched, and yet she wore an emotionless look on her face.

n“Shuang’Er, don’t be mad at your father. It’s all mother’s fault. I drugged the minister and had you to be able to marry him, so if you have to blame anyone, blame me.”

nLiu Rushuang thought about what Wu Xiyu said and smiled bitterly.

nShe should be paid back in full for all the cruel treatment that she received over the years!

nIn this body, her mother, Wu Xiyu, never knew how to live for herself.

nLiu Rushuang saw that clearly for herself, after she transmigrated into this body.

nHowever, she couldn’t change the neglect and abuse Wu Xiyu suffered.

nIn her previous life, she only learned how to obey and kill people. It was Wu Xiyu who taught her how to live like a normal person.

nWhen she grew up a little, Wu Xiyu passed away and left her there to fend for herself.

nAll she could do was leave the Minister Liu manor and the people who loathed her.

nShe only returned to Minister Liu’s mansion once again for the political marriage, but also killed two princes of the mansion and three of her father’s concubines.

nDespite all that, nobody discovered that she was behind their murders. Instead, they took their demises for accidental deaths.

nLiu Rushuang smiled with a demonic charm. Even more accidents were about to happen at the Minister’s manor of which she loathed.

n“Young Miss, we’re very fortunate to have the best medicine here for wounds. Otherwise, how can you show your face at the feast?” Qing’Er stood beside Liu Rushuang with slightly furrowed brows and a serious look on her face, as she rubbed the ointment on the cheek where she was slapped.

n“Have the people arrived?” Asked Liu Rushuang flatly whilst she ignored Qing’Er. Instead, she shut her eyes and took a deep breath.

n“Yes. They’re waiting outside. Young Miss, you’re finally taking action? You should have done this ages ago!” Exclaimed Qing’Er angrily, as she slightly pouted.

nA trace of frost flashed across Liu Rushuang’s eyes.

nThe best way to defeat an enemy is to give them a life worse than death. I’ll make your nightmares come true.

nIn this lifetime, I want you all to struggle in bitter pain. This is the ultimate gift that slowly awaits you all!

nLiu Rushuang flashed a smile without a single hint of warmth.

nSoon after, five men dressed in black stepped into the room. Half their faces were covered by a silver mask.

nThey kneeled when they saw Liu Rushuang. “Milady called for us?” Respectfully asked the leader of the men dressed in black.

n“Find a chance to kill the crown prince. The sooner, the better,” said Liu Rushuang nonchalantly with a wicked smile.

n“Yes.” The men accepted their order and left.

nAlthough the target was a nation’s crown prince, there wasn’t a person in the world who the Blood Feast couldn’t kill!

nAfter all, they were all the skilled beyond the skilled.

nQing’Er pursed her lips and coldly said, “With the crown prince dead, let’s see how mighty the Minister can still be in the palace!”

nLiu Rushuang smiled weakly.

nVery soon, the Minister’s manor should be stamped out by outside forces.

nThe Minister solely relied on his connection with the Empress and the crown prince of the imperial palace, so without them, what abilities did he possess to secure a seat on the imperial court?

nJust thinking about the imperial palace, she remembered that she had to meet the state officials of Beiming tonight as the princess of the political marriage.

nBut as for how, she still had no idea!

nA tenacious glint filled Liu Rushuang’s eyes. She won’t marry that Emperor of Beiming!
