"You’re insane... you’re insane, Xie Ruotong, you’re insane!" Xie Ruilin broke down in agitation because of Xie Ruotong’s words!

How could Xie Ruotong be so cruel.

She couldn’t accept Song Yanqing being humiliated like this.

Death would be a hundred times better than this.

Xie Ruotong glanced at Xie Ruilin.

Just indifferently watching her look of utter heartbreak.

Xie Ruotong laughed.

She laughed coldly.

She said, "Did you ever think there would come a day like this when you persecuted our grandmother?"

"Enough, Xie Ruotong, if you want to kill, then kill; why must you torture us like this!" Xie Ruilin lost control completely.

Xie Ruotong did not care about Xie Ruilin’s emotions at all.

Not at all.

She handed the dagger to the prison guard, "Do it."

The prison guard held the blood-drenched dagger.

The dagger was covered in Song Yanqing’s blood...

Song Yanqing just looked at Xie Ruotong like this.

His face was covered in blood.

His eyes fixed tightly on her.

It seemed like she was all that was in his eyes.

I don’t know if it’s hatred, or... too much hatred.

Xie Ruotong could also feel Song Yanqing’s gaze.

She said, "I’ve hated like that too."

Song Yanqing’s eyes were full of blood.

I don’t know if it’s teardrops of blood.

Or blood from his face dripping into his eyes.

But even so, Song Yanqing didn’t lose control. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

He didn’t give in either.

As if he just wanted to witness all her cruelty and memorize it in his heart.

"I don’t hate you," Song Yanqing said.

His voice was low, weak, yet firm.

Xie Ruotong’s eyes flickered.

"I don’t hate you," Song Yanqing said again.

He who once hurt her so deeply.

Whatever revenge she took, he would accept it.

"Heh," Xie Ruotong let out a light laugh.

Song Yanqing really, really knows how to pretend.

Don’t think just because he suddenly shows weakness, she would soften her heart.

Her grandmother’s death made it impossible for her to have any feelings for the person who caused her grandmother’s death.

Her eyes tightened.

She commanded the prison guard again, "Do it!"

"Xie Ruotong, Song Yanqing just doesn’t love you, what right do you have to do this to him, what right! It’s your own problem that Song Yanqing doesn’t like you, why are you venting it on Song Yanqing..." Xie Ruilin couldn’t stand it and screamed frantically.

"Slap!" Xie Ruotong slapped Xie Ruilin hard across the face.

This sudden slap stunned Xie Ruilin.

The pain made her, for a moment, unable to speak.

She just felt her face was too painful, and her ears deaf!

"I’ll say it again, my revenge is never about Song Yanqing not loving me! My revenge is purely because you persecuted our grandmother!" Xie Ruotong’s sinister face and cold words made Xie Ruilin’s whole body shiver uncontrollably.

Xie Ruotong was too terrifying.

Really too terrifying.

Just like a demon.

"Shut your mouth and save your energy! In a moment, you’ll get what’s coming to you," Xie Ruotong threatened, her words measured and deliberate.

Xie Ruilin’s tears flowed freely.

She just gazed at Xie Ruotong through tear-filled eyes.

In front of Xie Ruotong, she truly had no ability to resist.

"Do it!" Xie Ruotong commanded the prison guard once more.

The prison guard seemed inexperienced, therefore he hesitated to act whenever there was any motion from Xie Ruotong’s side.

Now being ordered in such a manner by Xie Ruotong.

The blood-stained Dagger trembled as it approached.

The prison guard was so nervous that his hands were shaking.

He hesitated to proceed.

"You can’t do it?" Xie Ruotong asked.

The prison guard knelt on the ground, "My lord Xie, I have never done this before, I don’t know how..."

Xie Ruotong took the Dagger directly.

The prison guard hastily knelt and backed away several steps.

Xie Ruotong walked towards Song Yanqing.

Song Yanqing, from start to finish, just watched her.

He simply watched her quietly.

"Enough, Xie Ruotong, the one who killed the grandmother wasn’t Song Yanqing!" Xie Ruilin suddenly screamed.

The unspeakable matter.

Even till death, she did not want to confess it.

She feared Xie Ruotong and Song Yanqing reconciling.

She couldn’t stand Xie Ruotong being together with Song Yanqing.

Song Yanqing could be with anyone, but just not with Xie Ruotong.

But in this moment, seeing Song Yanqing so tormented by Xie Ruotong, she couldn’t bear it any more.

Song Yanqing was the love of her life.

She couldn’t stand to watch him suffer humiliation, couldn’t accept his dignity being trampled by Xie Ruotong like this.

Xie Ruotong’s Dagger was poised beneath Song Yanqing.

With just a slight movement,

It could be done.

Upon hearing the extremely agonized voice of Xie Ruilin, she finally paused.

"Murdering grandmother has nothing to do with Song Yanqing, he didn’t even know I would do such a thing; it was done in conjunction with Xie Ruiyao under the arrangements of the Duke," Xie Ruilin confessed, her tears streaming down crazily.

Not only Xie Ruotong.

Song Yanqing also turned his head, looking towards Xie Ruilin.

Xie Ruilin met Song Yanqing’s gaze, "I’m sorry, brother Yanqing, I’m sorry, it was me who told Xie Ruotong that you were involved, I said it... But I never thought Xie Ruotong could be so cruel, I never imagined she could be truly devilish. I thought of the cruelest possible way, yet I never imagined Xie Ruotong could go to this extent... ugh... it’s my fault, I ruined you..."

Xie Ruotong moved away from Song Yanqing.

She walked up to Xie Ruilin, "I’m asking you once again, whose actions are related to my grandmother’s death?!"

"It has nothing to do with Song Yanqing!" Xie Ruilin cried out frantically, "It was all my doing, all of it! I did it to make Song Yanqing break up with you, starting by killing the grandmother because grandmother would never let Song Yanqing break up with you! And the reason why Xie Ruiyao wanted to kill grandmother is because the Duke also wants you and Song Yanqing to break up! And all through this, Song Yanqing knew nothing! He simply didn’t know!"

"Is that so?" Xie Ruotong said, seemingly skeptical.

"Yes!" Xie Ruilin stated, "Song Yanqing wouldn’t kill your grandmother, Song Yanqing could not possibly do such monstrous, disgusting, and cruel acts; all these vile things, I did them, it was all me!"

"So apart from the Duke, you, Xie Ruiyao, who else was involved from the Duke Mansion?" Xie Ruotong continued to inquire.

Xie Ruilin looked at her.

"Not talking, are you?"

"I’ll talk!" Xie Ruilin simply could not withstand Xie Ruotong’s threats.

This woman was truly terrifying.

Why on earth did she have to provoke Xie Ruotong back then?

She never took Xie Ruotong seriously, always thinking of Xie Ruotong as an easy target, susceptible to manipulation.

But she never expected her to be someone so formidable.

"Also my mother, who for years suffered under the oppression of grandmother, has had enough. And the fourth brother Xie Wenzhong! Wenzhong knew well that the Duke’s title would definitely go to the eldest brother, thus being bribed by the Duke, Wenzhong just has to follow the Duke’s orders, and the Duke promised him the Duke’s title!" Xie Ruilin laid it all out, "So the ones involved in killing grandmother were me, Xie Ruiyao, mother, and Xie Wenzhong, and it had nothing to do with Song Yanqing!"
