The assassins didn't dare dawdle, as they quickly dragged Madam Liu and Mama Zhao to kneel in the lobby.

Madam Liu saw Liu Rushuang sitting on the seat of honour and angrily spoke through gritted teeth. "H-hurry up and let me go. Otherwise, I definitely won't let you off when I get out."

Mama Zhao, who watched the situation unfold in front of her and knew that it was impossible to escape, started to kowtow in panic. "Third Young Miss, I beg you spare me. I beg you spare me and I'll do anything you ask of me!"

Liu Rushuang looked at the two of them as if they were dead. She wasn't going to bother with them, no matter if they yelled angrily or begged for their lives.

Thinking about how Wu Xiyu died tragically, her eyes started to turn misty red.

But then, she thought about how she could get revenge today and a wicked smile crept upon her face.

Qing'Er looked over at the hatred in Liu Rushuang's face and her body shivered.

Perhaps, it would be smart of Madam Liu and Mama Zhao to kill themselves.

The Young Miss was an extreme person who could equally treat people well or show no mercy in the slightest.

"Are you done?" Liu Rushuang's calm voice didn't waver in the slightest.

Since they offended her, they needed to realise that they had to pay the appropriate price. There was no leeway to give at all.

Madam Liu's filthy face turned even more pale white by the stillness.

What should she do? This wench wasn't afraid of the minister's revenge at all!

Was she really going to be tortured to death by this wench?

Although she tried to remain as calm as possible, her body couldn't help but start to tremble.

Mama Zhao was so frightened by the murderous look on Liu Rushuang's face that she urinated all over the floor.

At the Minister's manor, she often bullied people who she couldn't bare to see. She was ruthless in her methods, so she knew just how painful it was to be tortured. She was truly afraid!

Madam Liu tried hard to free her legs and hands out of the ropes. However, it clearly was no use.

Liu Rushuang grinned wickedly, then looked over at the two people who resembled ants. Deep down inside, she was delighted to get revenge.

She had been looking forward to this day for a really long time.

She had been looking forward to this since she was born.

She shut her eyes and took a deep breath, before opening them again and looking down on the two of them. "Dislocate both their jaws," she said flatly.

In an instant, Madam Liu started crying, then quickly and fiercely kowtowed. "I beg you! Third Young Miss. Spare me! I promise to give you whatever you want!"

Mama Zhao almost fainted from fear and was just about to kill herself by biting her tongue because she knew that death was waiting for her.

An assassin glanced at Liu Rushuang unmoved expression, then immediately walked up to Mama Zhao and dislocated her jaw. Unable to bear the pain, Mama Zhao screamed, "Ahhh..." Her scream was so loud that it could be heard from any part of the dungeon.

Madam Liu was so frightened that her limbs went weak and she wanted to kill herself by biting her tongue.

But having never suffered before, she didn't dare bite down!

Whilst Madam Liu hesitated, another assassin dislocated her jaw in a matter of seconds.

"Ah..." howled Madam Liu equally as loud.

Liu Rushuang looked down at the pained looks on Madam Liu and Mama Zhao's faces, then pulled a wicked smile. This was just the start and yet they can't take it anymore?

Madam Liu was in so much pain, she had cold sweats. At the same time, she grew even more terrified, tightly clenched her hands and forcefully kowtowed in hopes of dying.

"Tie these two up on the torture rack," said Liu Rushuang chillingly with a cold smirk.

"Yes, milady!" After the four assassins accepted their orders with emotionless expressions on their faces, they tied up Madam Liu and Mama Zhao to the torture racks beside the lobby.

Madam Liu and Mama Zhao whimpered, wanting to say something but they couldn't. The colour in their faces were drained a long time ago and now, looked devastatingly ashy.

They really wanted to commit suicide!

...

Liu Rushuang thought she heard the sound of their heartbeats. She walked over to them, then spoke with an emotionless tone of voice. "You want to commit suicide? Keep dreaming!"

"That's right! Young Miss, these bad people deserve a painful death to avenge those who were persecuted." Qing'Er was raised with a kind mother, but after her mother was killed by her gambling addict father, she's resented bad people.

She hoped that one day, she could strike her gambling addict of a father with a sword and avenge her mother.

Liu Rushuang looked at Madam Liu and Mama Zhao with wide eyes full of fear. She raised her right hand and conjured a fireball in her palm.

Madam Liu and Mama Zhao stared the fireball drawing closer to them. The sob in their throats grew louder.

Did the Third Young Miss wanted to burn them to death?

What a truly ruthless heart!

A hint of delight flashed across Liu Rushuang's serene, dark eyes. If this fire was to burn her foe's body, would the hidden pain in her heart simmer down?

With an evil gaze, Liu Rushuang gradually edged the fire towards Madam Liu and watched her cry non-stop with frightened tears flowing from her eyes. Then, she smiled in satisfaction.

After she pushed Madam Liu to extreme fear, she slowly edged the fireball towards her chest.

She watched as Madam Liu's clothes started to slowly burn. Liu Rushuang suddenly started to laugh hysterically, as two lines of running tears couldn't help but flow down her face.

Mother, I'm finally avenging you!

Madam Liu watched as the cloth on her chest burned and sobbed endlessly. Slowly, she couldn't see a shed of light in her desperate eyes.

She didn't want to die like that. She thought it was so unfair and she really wanted to kill that wench. She hated her so much...

The intense pain in her chest clearly told Madam Liu that it would be impossible for everything she wished for to happen.

She was going to turn into ashes and smoke!

Beside her, Mama Zhao had fainted from fear a long time ago.

Liu Rushuang glanced over at the oily chubby face and her eyes turned instantly more murderous and cruel.

In the same way, she conjured the fireball and hurled it at the clothes on Mama Zhao's chest.

"Ugh..." Mama Zhao immediately woke up from the pain.

"Uh... Uh.. Wahhhh..." Mama Zhao and Madam Liu cried in anguish from the burning pain but their jaws were dislocated, so they couldn't cry out loud.

Qing'Er's glared at them and pouted. "Let's see the two of you ever dare do terrible things again!"

Since she arrived at the minister's manor half a year ago, these two bad people would always trouble her and the Young Miss.

She always wanted to properly get revenge.

But then again, the Young Miss' methods were indeed a little ruthless. Just by watching alone, Qing'Er felt like she too could feel the pain.

Although the four assassins were a little startled by Liu Rushuang's wild nature, they were not too affected by it.

They were used to seeing life and death situations. There wasn't a kind of cruel technique they hadn't seen.

Burning to death was a rather merciful way to die!

However, what Liu Rushuang said next changed their minds.

She was practically a demon!

Liu Rushuang stared at the spreading flames all over Madam Liu and Mama Zhao's body, then emotionlessly said, "Put out the fire."

The assassins were completely shocked for a moment. It looked like their leader didn't want the two of them to die so easily.

Thereafter, they quickly fetched several buckets of water from the well beside them and put out the fire on Madam Liu and Mama Zhao's bodies.

Madam Liu and Mama Zhao suddenly woke up after they fainted earlier from the pain.

Wh-why aren't they dead yet?

They really regretted not successfully committing suicide. That way, they would have suffered less!

Madam Liu looked down at her dishevelled clothes, the lashes of bloody wounds and the swollen red areas of exposed skin. Then, she looked up and started crying loudly, "Wahhhhh..."

Liu Rushuang looked over at the bloody wounds from the burns she inflicted, then reached her hand out to touch them. Her touch immediately made Madam Liu gasp.
