Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress-Chapter 8: The Minister’s Manor is About to Fall

Translator: Paperplane

The Drunken Cloud was situated in the bustling area of the Capital. It was a place where businesses flourished, where there were beautiful people, delicious food and wine. Additionally, there were some side businesses.

Inside, there were luxurious buildings with eight white jade pillars on all four walls, and a total of five floors.

The peony rug on the floor was embroidered with gold thread.

The higher the floor of the five-floored building, the wider and more lavish it was. Naturally, prices also increased, the higher the floor.

It’s said that the fifth floor raked in over a thousand taels in one night. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

In that very moment, Liu Rushuang sat in a guest room on the fifth floor.

With one hand on the table and her eyes closed, she felt the pain from her cheeks. One of her hands was tightly clenched, and yet she wore an emotionless look on her face.

“Shuang’Er, don’t be mad at your father. It’s all mother’s fault. I drugged the minister and had you to be able to marry him, so if you have to blame anyone, blame me.”

Liu Rushuang thought about what Wu Xiyu said and smiled bitterly.

She should be paid back in full for all the cruel treatment that she received over the years!

In this body, her mother, Wu Xiyu, never knew how to live for herself.

Liu Rushuang saw that clearly for herself, after she transmigrated into this body.

However, she couldn’t change the neglect and abuse Wu Xiyu suffered.

In her previous life, she only learned how to obey and kill people. It was Wu Xiyu who taught her how to live like a normal person.

When she grew up a little, Wu Xiyu passed away and left her there to fend for herself.

All she could do was leave the Minister Liu manor and the people who loathed her.

She only returned to Minister Liu’s mansion once again for the political marriage, but also killed two princes of the mansion and three of her father’s concubines.

Despite all that, nobody discovered that she was behind their murders. Instead, they took their demises for accidental deaths.

Liu Rushuang smiled with a demonic charm. Even more accidents were about to happen at the Minister’s manor of which she loathed.

“Young Miss, we’re very fortunate to have the best medicine here for wounds. Otherwise, how can you show your face at the feast?” Qing’Er stood beside Liu Rushuang with slightly furrowed brows and a serious look on her face, as she rubbed the ointment on the cheek where she was slapped.

“Have the people arrived?” Asked Liu Rushuang flatly whilst she ignored Qing’Er. Instead, she shut her eyes and took a deep breath.

“Yes. They’re waiting outside. Young Miss, you’re finally taking action? You should have done this ages ago!” Exclaimed Qing’Er angrily, as she slightly pouted.

A trace of frost flashed across Liu Rushuang’s eyes.

The best way to defeat an enemy is to give them a life worse than death. I’ll make your nightmares come true.

In this lifetime, I want you all to struggle in bitter pain. This is the ultimate gift that slowly awaits you all!

Liu Rushuang flashed a smile without a single hint of warmth.

Soon after, five men dressed in black stepped into the room. Half their faces were covered by a silver mask.

They kneeled when they saw Liu Rushuang. “Milady called for us?” Respectfully asked the leader of the men dressed in black.

“Find a chance to kill the crown prince. The sooner, the better,” said Liu Rushuang nonchalantly with a wicked smile.

“Yes.” The men accepted their order and left.

Although the target was a nation’s crown prince, there wasn’t a person in the world who the Blood Feast couldn’t kill!

After all, they were all the skilled beyond the skilled.

Qing’Er pursed her lips and coldly said, “With the crown prince dead, let’s see how mighty the Minister can still be in the palace!”

Liu Rushuang smiled weakly.

Very soon, the Minister’s manor should be stamped out by outside forces.

The Minister solely relied on his connection with the Empress and the crown prince of the imperial palace, so without them, what abilities did he possess to secure a seat on the imperial court?

Just thinking about the imperial palace, she remembered that she had to meet the state officials of Beiming tonight as the princess of the political marriage.

But as for how, she still had no idea!

A tenacious glint filled Liu Rushuang’s eyes. She won’t marry that Emperor of Beiming!
