"Hey, don’t you have a bit of backbone? Can’t you handle this? Spitting blood at every turn—do you have a lot of blood or what? If you do, I don’t mind helping you drain so. How long are you planning to keep vomiting like this?"
After hearing her irresponsible words, Consort Hua was almost faint with anger. Right now, she didn’t even have the strength to resist, looking completely desolate.
Eventually, Zi Su, who couldn’t bear it anymore, tugged at her sleeve.
"Princess, have you forgotten? She’s poisoned by us, and vomiting blood is a symptom. She can’t hold it back."
Murong Xue suddenly felt three dark lines descend on the back of her head. She had actually forgotten this—no wonder Consort Hua was so angry, pitiful indeed.
"What are you glaring at? Keep glaring, and I’ll gouge your eyeballs out!"
Zi Su t Consort Hua’s gaze and felt very uncomfortable. Coming from an aristocratic family, naturally she looked down on dealing with these pretentious won and didn’t care for any supposed hierarchies, thus never taking Consort Hua seriously. Now with Murong Xue backing her, she naturally wouldn’t indulge Consort Hua’s antics.
Yet, hearing this, Consort Hua felt her world view had been severely twisted. When did she, who was always above everyone else, co to be chastised by a maid?
"Murong Xue, you’re too arrogant!"
Consort Hua, overwheld with anger, could only stare at Murong Xue and her maid without uttering a word, afraid that she might faint again from rage. Even though her head was spinning, she had to grit her teeth and endure.
"Arrogant?" Upon hearing this, Murong Xue found the words incredibly ironic.
"No matter how arrogant I am, I can’t match up to you, Consort Hua, with your ruthless and cruel ways. Not just you, but your children and your Bai family—that mountain surely surpasses all others!"
After that, she exchanged a look with Zi Su, who understood instantly. With a flash, a flying knife swiftly severed the finger that Consort Hua had pointed at Murong Xue, dropping it onto the ground as the scent of blood filled the air. Consort Hua clutched her finger in agony, rolling on the ground, but Murong Xue felt no sympathy for this pitiful scene.
"Pointing at soone—don’t you know it’s extrely rude? Didn’t your parents teach you? Today, I’ll make sure you learn a lesson, and spare that finger from commanding others to kill. Do you believe in karma? The law of the heavens knows no rcy; who does the sky spare? Now is the ti for your Bai family to settle all grievances!"
Consort Hua, poisoned and missing a finger, looked too miserable to behold. Probably she had never endured such pain in her life. So, after her body trembled and broke down, she looked up at the azure sky, gave a forlorn smile, and suddenly stood up to dash toward the stone pillar beside her. Zi Su, quick-eyed and deft, grabbed her hair and dragged her fiercely to Murong Xue.
"Trying to die? Sorry, I won’t allow it! Dying like this would be too easy for you, wouldn’t it? I’m not done playing yet, so you’ll have to endure this with !"
Murong Xue rubbed her smooth chin and suddenly curved her lips in a mocking smile. Seeing her malicious expression, Consort Hua shivered instinctively: "What are you planning to do?"
The person in front of her, smiling just like a demon—how did she ever let such a character grow up and let them take revenge together with their sibling?
She resented them deeply, feeling as if she could grind her teeth into powder, yet faced with reality she was utterly helpless.
"Oh, it’s actually nothing, just that I suddenly rembered sothing. You don’t want to hear it, but I insist you do!"
Murong Xue grabbed Consort Hua’s hair and pulled her close, then chuckled softly into her ear.
"Did you know? The woman you spent your whole life hating and scheming against is still alive, hahaha... is that surprising? Unexpected?"
Murong Xue’s words caused Consort Hua’s already bloodshot eyes to bulge instantly outward, looking sowhat frog-like and terrifying, especially when the whites of her eyes flipped as if suffocating.
"Impossible, after all these years, how can she still be alive? You must be lying to , right? Right?"
Murong Xue extended her jade-like finger and gently shook it.
"Lying to you? Why would I lie to you? She’s my mother after all. If she’s alive, I’m most thrilled, wishing to announce to the world imdiately. But sharing this news with you first—doesn’t that show I’m considerate? How does it feel hearing this news? Happy or moved?"
