Zhou Xuan who was supposed to have been exiled to the coal mines have been ambushed on mid way. Made unconscious and brought to a dungeon.
After waking she found her eyes were blind folded. Her limbs were braces and chained with heavy irons. Her forehead was still in pain from the carving of sinner stamped with hot iron. While her body was also in great pain with dried blood from the beatings.
She was feeling great thirst and hunger as it had been entire two days she had something. Her throat was parched while the stomach grumbles.
She was confused on where and why she was here. She also doubted her father as he had been removed from his position. These two days she doubted everyone, racking her brains to find the person behind her imprisonment.
She also thought of the many ways to explain and save her life though stamped as a criminal she still had greed for living. She madly cried for her bad fortune, she dearly missed her family and husband, she also regretted for having been stupid time and again.
But the thing she didn't regret was killing bai lan and her child. Though she regretted on not being careful enough or being hasty never she felt killing bai lan was wrong. She firmly believed that it was Bai Lan who had made her to take this step rather than having a malicious heart.
Now she was waiting for the person to come so she could act and plead for a last chance and mercy. And if having her pray answered on the third night she heard steps inside this cold and silent dungeon.
Yusheng had planned to have Zhou Xuan trapped the very same way like her past self. Thus as soon as she was on the road to her exile Yusheng had men stationed to drag her here.
After the return from valley she waited for the night to come so that the true show would begin. In the night her steps along with her heart was heavy. The memories kept resurfacing of her past. As she began to walk through the dungeon she knew that at this moment and life she was the victor.
Reaching the cell she could see fear in Zhou Xuan. Her state miserable but none of these evoked the pity in her rather have her a feeling of contentment.
Just as she pushed the door the crying and begging for mercy started to come out from Xuan. Wetting the blind fold and making her voice more hoarse.
Yusheng didn't plan to remove those fold until her last breathe thus dragging a chair slowly and loudly she sat facing Zhou Xuan.
With the coldest and murderous voice she speaks "Zhou Xuan you can stop your act. I clearly know of your habits and nature. You must have thought a lot of who behind your imprisonment is but with your little pea brain you aren't able to deduce.
Don't worry you will know when you are on your last breathe. As for the reason you clearly know in your heart but refuse to accept. Let me tell you your malicious and viscious nature with heart black as coal and mind filthy as feces is the reason for your predicament.
I hate you to your bones the more you suffer the more happy will I be. The more you beg the more exhilarated will I be. Until to my heart contentment you will be tortured. Don't worry after I have had enough I will send you to Yama."
Zhou Xuan had long gone silent. She felt the voice familiar but still wasn't able to pinpoint the lady.
She started to think her possible enemy's but as she had many she wasn't able to name the one.
Her fear was at highest from listening to the cold voice her skin could feel the chills. Learning that she was brought to tortured added in to that fear.
"Madam .. please.. I might have offended you some way for you to have such hatred towards me.. but please for the good karma I beg for a chance..
I am already in the worst that anyone can possibly be.. I would be your dog or ox so please beg you to pity on this pitiful one." cries and begs Zhou Xuan.
"Haha haha... good karma... pity.. what a joke. Zhou Xuan your words are not going to work as I am more demonic than you. Good karma and pity are not in my dictionary specially for you. But I love hearing you cry and beg so you may continue.
And for your information you haven't just offended me. You have given me the greatest pain and torture which I plan to repay you back inch by inch.
I clearly know how above you think of yourself and petty thing you are. The crimes you have done if is to be listed even if chopping to minced is not enough.
Well, enough with you. As you have been here for three days you must have missed your family, your husband, the luxury not mention curious to know what's happening outside.
