Chapter 48: The Malevolent Madam
“Hmph! Thinking back to how Master Liu almost had feelings for that wench makes me feel sick! She was only slightly prettier than me. What’s there to be so pleased about?” said Madam Liu with a tone of voice which didn’t mask her hatred in the slightest.
A vicious glint flashed across Mama Zhao’s eyes. “Madam, think about how that wench died and you’ll feel a lot better. In the four years that she stayed, that wench never slept more than two hours every day and had to do the most painful and tiring work. She was just skin and bones when she died, and her entire body was covered in cuts and bruises. Even in that kind of state, she tried to bed the master to take care of her daughter. Back then, the Master was kind enough not to have buried that disgusting woman alive,” she replied with a smirk.
“Haha… Yes, that felt great. What good also happened? Tell me again. Just hearing about it makes me happy,” laughed Madam Liu, as she whipped her head back.
Liu Rushuang, who was hiding outside the room, overheard Madam Liu and Mama Zhao laugh mockingly at her mother with burning rage in her pretty eyes. In no way was she going to let them get away with it.
With no idea of her impending doom, Mama Zhao smiled proudly at Madam Liu. “Madam, how can that wench ever compare to you. You did an enormous favour by not personally killing that wench’s daughter way back then,” she flattered.
“Actually, I truly regret not immediately killing that wench’s daughter,” said Madam Liu with a faint smile.
Mama Zhao’s eyes flickered for a moment and looked over at the maids, waiting upon Madam Liu.
Madam Liu raised her hand and flatly said, “There’s nothing here for you all to do. You may leave.”
“Yes, Madam,” replied the four maids who lowered their heads and stepped outside. Deep down inside, they were really afraid of Madam Liu. Every one of them had quite a few scars on their bodies, inflicted by Madam Liu.
Mama Zhao saw that they had left, then drew closer to Madam Liu.”Madam, it’s not too late to make a move. Find an opportunity to ask the Empress to help you. Who knows? She could kill that fool on the streets,” she said with a vicious voice.
“How could I have forgotten about the Empress? She’s the Master’s biological sister after all, so naturally she and I are close. This’ll work without a doubt!” Madam Liu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Liu Rushuang couldn’t take it anymore.
A dark hint of bloodlust appeared in her eyes. Then at lightning speeds, she swiftly hit the pressure points of several maids who had just stepped out of the room, causing them to fall unconscious. Then, she pushed the door and walked in.
Mama Zhao and Madam Liu was frightened. “H… How did you manage to get in?” asked Madam Liu in a trembling voice.
Liu Rushuang flashed a chilling smirk and spoke in a voice which sounded like it came from hell itself. “It’s not important how I managed to get in. What’s important is that you will die one year from today.”
“Come quickly…” Before Madam Liu could finish speaking, Liu Rushuang snapped her fingers from a distance and hit her vocal pressure point.
Mama Zhao saw that things were not looking good, and tried to sneak out of the room. Liu Rushuang wore a sinister smirk, as she instantly blocked Mama Zhao’s way, then quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately hit her pressure points to knock them both out. Mama Zhao instantly fell to the floor and couldn’t move an inch.
Madam Liu wanted to speak but she couldn’t make a sound.
Liu Rushuang walked up to Madam Liu. An ice-cold glint shot from her pretty eyes, then spoke with a chilling voice and face full of hatred. “Madam Liu, let me tell you this. I was the one who sent someone to rape your son. Who told him to drug me with an aphrodisiac? Also, I set up your eldest daughter’s marriage. As for the deaths of people in the manor, they weren’t accidents. I was behind them all.”
Madam Liu’s face was completely stunned and pale-white. She viciously clawed at her bedside and tried to leave whilst trembling.
Liu Rushuang flashed a mocking smile. “Did you think that you could get away with everything? After all the immoral, horrid things you did to Wu Xiyu, I have thought of nothing but how I want to get revenge on you,” she said chillingly.
