Chapter 3 - Little Miss Two-Faced

"Young Miss, they harass you too much. Can we still not make a move on that lot yet?" Asked Qing'Er in dissatisfaction, as she stood by Liu Rushuang, watching them walk away.

Liu Rushuang stared out at the landscape outside the window and suddenly squinted.

She then turned her head to face Qing'Er. "Just keep it in mind for now!" She said flatly.

The nanny arrived at Autumn Jade Courtyard in the late afternoon to teach her etiquette. She was a rather chubby old housemaid of forty something years old.

After the nanny entered the room, she swept a look at the master and servant, then coldly cried, "Third Young Miss, is this the attitude you should have when studying etiquette?"

Liu Rushuang who laid in bed pretending to nod off, slightly opened her eyes and glanced unenthusiastically at the nanny.

"Qing'Er, make her kneel!" she cried nonchalantly.

Qing'Er flexed a few martial art moves she learnt from the young miss and swiftly gave the nanny and the senior maids each a kick.

"Ah... Ow..." The three of them kneeled after being kicked and instantly rubbed their legs, crying in pain.

"You brat! You dare touch us?! I'm going to tell the Madam," cried the nanny as she heaved weakly, sprawled on the floor.

Liu Rushuang remained still when she heard their cries and flashed an evil grin. "Do you believe I can just easily take your wretched life?"

Cold sweats flowed from the faces of the three people sprawled on the floor when they heard those threatening words.

This third young miss was so different from the rumors about her as weak and feeble. She was practically as frightening as a wolf!

"Third young miss, I was wrong! I beg for the third young miss' forgiveness!" The nanny lowered her head to kowtow in a panic.

The two maids behind her also kneeled towards Liu Rushuang and respectfully kowtowed.

Liu Rushuang lowered her gaze and glanced at her. "Well at least you still know your place. For the next few days, stay in the room next door and when it's time, head back. I advise you don't say things you shouldn't be saying."

The calculative glint in the nanny's eyes suddenly disappeared in a flash.

Liu Rushuang shot a dull glance and wore a crafty, evil smile. "Qing'Er, let them know the consequences!" She cried.

Qing'Er raised her foot and crushed quite a sizeable stone into dust right before the nanny's eyes. With one sweep of the gentle wind, it flew away.

Panic flashed across the nanny's eyes, as she raised her sleeve to wipe off the sweat from her face. "I wouldn't dare! We'll stay in the room next door and absolutely won't utter a peep!" She politely exclaimed.

"Qing'Er, see them out!" Liu Rushuang calmly ordered Qing'Er, then looked out the window with a seemingly hazy look in her eyes.

It's time to see my mother again.

Her soul transmigrated into a baby's body.

If mother hadn't taken care of her in that body, she would most probably have not survived till now!

She remembered one time when she hit the second young miss, Liu Ruxing.

Madam Liu punished her by making her kneel.

She tried her best to resist but she was weak so in the end, she couldn't get out of the servant's grip.

All she could do was endure Madam Liu's fury.

The whip repeatedly struck heavily upon her body.

Wu Xiyu kowtowed non-stop outside the room, begging for her forgiveness.

Madam Liu finally stopped when she got tired.

Later, mother cried as she carried me away. I only survived a fever because she tried to take care of me to the best of her ability.

Her lips broke into a frosty smile at the thought of Liu Rushuang's evil, ice-cold look.

She returned for revenge. She went to Blood Feast, the world-famous assassin organization.

She tread upon mountains of corpses time and time again, just to have what she has today!

Since the days were not merciful on her, she fought them with magic!

She was an assassin's tool in her past life, so how bad could this life be?

As long as she could make the people who hurt her receive retribution, then that'd alright!

Liu Rushuang raised her hand to touch her right cheek. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Why was her body this special? She wasn't sure either.

  1. [verb] kneel and touch the ground with the forehead in worship or submission as part of Chinese custom.
