Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 Complacency

"Why? Hahaha... my dear sister, we're at this point now, so stop pretending."

"I'm not pretending, I truly don't understand."

"Giggle, giggle, giggle, I don't care whether you're pretending or not, it's too late for anything you do, you are destined to be a loser, and everything that belonged to you will be mine, including your man, hahaha..."

Situ Qinger let out a triumphant laugh, what normally was a delightful sound now seemed somewhat eerie within the blood-stained prison cell.

"Why? I was so good to you, why would you do this to me?"

"Pah, you were good to me? You know, from the very first day you returned to the General's Mansion, you stole all that was mine just because you are the legitimate daughter and I am the concubine-born daughter. In front of others, behind my back, you always pressed me down one level. I hated you to the bone, yet I had to smile at you every day. Do you know how bitter and hateful I felt? Every time, when I woke from my midnight dreams, I wished I could strangle you to death with my own hands."

In the end, Situ Qinger's exquisitely beautiful face contorted into something ferocious and terrifying.

"So, to get back at me, you seduced the Crown Prince?" Situ Xueer mocked herself inside, having lived such a bewildered life to have actually believed in the deep bond of sisterhood.

"Hehehe, you are wrong, the Crown Prince and I are mutually in love, what seduction are you talking about?"

"The Crown Prince was deeply devoted to me, if it wasn't for your seduction, how could he have treated me this way?" As she spoke, Situ Xueer couldn't help but break down in tears—the man she loved most had given her the most cruel punishment of all.

"Deep devotion? Hahaha… it's laughable. Even before you two were married, we were together. His marriage to you was merely to use your status as a legitimate daughter to secure his position as the Crown Prince."

The truth was so cruel, tears blurred Situ Xueer's vision. She was foolish, having lived her life in vain, to have been deceived by them for so long.

Situ Qinger: "Sister, I couldn't bear for you to be too lonely on Yellow Spring Road, so I specifically sent Xiuxiu to accompany you. It's always good to have someone to look after you in the underworld, isn't it?"

"Situ Qinger, what do you want to do? If you have any grievances, take them out on me, do not harm my Xiuxiu, she's just an infant, only a few months old."

The moment she heard her daughter's name, Situ Xueer, who was sobbing, immediately screamed in madness: "If you harm Xiuxiu, Zhang Ruixuan won't let you off."

Chained to the wall, Situ Xueer couldn't believe everything she heard.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle... you're truly a foolish woman. Without the Crown Prince's order, would I dare to kill his daughter?"

"Xiuxiu is his own flesh and blood, how could he kill her? Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, the Crown Prince won't kill Xiuxiu."

"The Crown Prince said, 'If the weeds are not removed by the roots, the spring breeze will bring them back to life.' Besides, in the future, the Crown Prince will be the Emperor of Moli Country. With the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards, Seventy-Two Concubines, plus me as the Empress, he will not lack for children. Why would he tolerate your daughter living in this world?"

Situ Qinger raised her delicate hand and lightly clapped twice...

"Clap, clap..."

A maid walked in, holding a few months old baby in her arms...

The little kid was very cute, with a chubby face and big round eyes that adorably swiveled around, chubbed fingers sucking in the mouth with smacking noises, looking both bewildered and endearing.

The maid walked up to Situ Qinger: "Second Miss."

Situ Qinger playfully teased the little kid for a moment.

The little kid gazed up at Situ Qinger with large, round eyes, batting her long eyelashes, suddenly, she opened her little mouth and let out a series of giggles.

Situ Qinger's expression turned cold as she indifferently withdrew her hand, then turned to the maid and asked, "Is everything ready?"

"All is ready."

"Bring it in!"

"Yes."

The maid, raising her voice, called out loudly toward the door: "Bring in the brazier!"

A few maids came in, carrying a brazier burning fiercely.

Regardless of how Situ Xueer pleaded and screamed, Situ Qinger remained unmoved and ordered the servants to throw the little kid into the brazier, burning her alive.

"Ahh..."

Situ Xueer, nailed to the wall, let out a heartrending scream, witnessing her daughter's tragic death, a pain too profound to describe.

Suddenly, her bloodshot eyes snapped open, and she roared toward the prison ceiling: "Heavens above, I, Situ Xueer, swear on my life that, if I am born again, I will utterly annihilate those who harmed my daughter and me, without an ounce of mercy."

Having said this, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, dropped her head, and fell silent.

Situ Qinger covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief, a look of disdain on her face: "Prison Warden, come in and have a look."

"Yes." The dwarf outside answered, pushing the door open and stepping forward to inspect.

"Reporting to Second Miss, the Crown Princess Consort is dead."

"Prison Warden, throw that lowly woman into the Mass Grave."

"Yes, this servant obeys!"
