Revenge is need before you die

The next day: {Present} Fairy of Tale Inn

Lin Che tap her finger on the tables observing the names, she had written. She pointed at Lin Cang's name and look at Wu for his opinion.

"No."

Lin Che sighed and pointed at Lin Fang's name next. "Still... No."

Lin Che sighed defeatedly groaning and banged her forehead in the table hard and loudly.

"What is there to plan for anyways? I can just kill them one y one and made it looks like an accident."

Wu scoffed, "I thought you want revenge? And by killing them one by one, you know your father despised your stepmother the most... They will definitely blame your father even if it's your crime. To the world, in front of them, you're already pretty dead."

Lin Che nodded and pointed at Xu Dong's name seriously.

"Xu Dong. The three of them, he hold the most power as a prince in the government..." 'This two is unprivileged anyways.' She murmured her last sentence.

"As they said, you cannot move your your head... Kill its head first before its legs. I heard within... Should I say in a year, he will travel to the west fro 'business'. It's a good opportunity since west has many assassins and bandits... But..."

Lin Che said slapping her forehead with her own hand.

She pause for a second and open one of her eye. "But weren't..." Lin Che recalled the perfect face of Xu Cheng before blushing.

"White haired Cheng seems to really have a good instincts and speed."

"Wasn't he entitled as the Prince of War?" Lin Che asked clearing her throt in embarrassment.

"Yeah... But good luck with that. Prince of War wasn't that easy to persuade."

Lin Che smirked mischievously. "You said his birthday is coming in a few months, right?"

"So what are you gonna do?"

"Make some clothes of course." Lin Che said jokingly which Wu took seriously. "Why? What are you gonna use?"

Lin Che pointed at Wu and spoke. "I'm gonna shave that snowy white fur of yours to make some really soft clothes or blanket anything to earn money."

Wu froze and withdraw form her, shaking terrified.

"M- my fur... is innocent. How could you...?" Lin Che shrugged. "Well... Either your organs for me to make sausage or your fur?"

Wu pouted his lips and when Lin Che sense he was about to cry, she immediately spoke once again.

"I'm joking...! Don't take anything silly seriously! Jeez, I don't even know how to knit okay? Let alone cook some organ?"

'I'm also not fond of seeing someone as cute as you crying.' Lin Che murmured as she saw Wu sigh in relief but still withdraw from her.

Lin Che sighed, and used her left hand, nudging Wu to look outside the window, just behind him.

"Before we came here. See that pavilion next to this...?"

Wu nodded in understanding.

"I'll pretend as a dancer there and day and night. While, in midnight..." Lin Che pointed at the open closet, where black clothes hanged in there.

"Off to killing people, need to earn some quick money."

Wu froze and look at her shakingly. "You meant innocent one...?" Lin Che waved her hand and hurriedly explained. "No...!"

"Assassins were paid to kill anyone... But not me, of course if that person have a shitty back ground I will. Stop thinking of some impossible scenarios! You're making me old because of worry."

She said murmuring her last sentence being careful for Wu to hear.

Royal Palace: Empress Dowager's Resident

"Lei'er, what do you think? Should we invite a dancer or a painter @#$%^&*...?"

Empress Dowager, Xu Chen keeps blabbering excitedly about her arrangement to Xu Cheng's birthday gathering.

Xu Lei close his eyes and calmly took a sip of his tea, while listening to his mother's blabbering non-stop.

"Lei'er...? Tell me some of your opinions, would you?"

Putting down the tea cup, Xu Lei look at his mother straight into the eye and said his honest opinion.

"Mom, I think... Hiring a dancer and a painter should be great in one."

"You see... The dancer should dance while painting using her bare hands." Xu Lei explained, while tapping his finger in the table absentmindedly.

Xu Chen gasped in surprise as another idea struck in her mind.

"Yeah. And add another one who can paly zither perfectly. I'll inform it right away?"

Xu Lei gave her nod in response. "Certainly."

Lin Che entered her room, beaming in joy and hug Wu tightly.

"Thank god... I know how to paint and dance at the same time." She halted and her smile froze. "I'm not good at calligraphy...!"

"What does mood writing has to do with it?"

Wu asked curiously. "Wu... Don't you think while painting and dancing at the same time, seems great. Why don't we add poem to the art?"

Wu frowned thinking for a moment before nodding approvingly.

"You're right... However... Instead of a poem, write a sentence or paragraph."

General Lin's Resident: Lin Cang's Chamber

"Our plan failed. General Lin still hadn't stepped out of his courtyard..."

Lin Cang said walking back ad forth desperately.

"Mom, I told you... That bas- I mean General still hadn't move on." [Damn it! My plan failed again. When will I get a chance to kill him?!]

Lin Cang pause before walking around her room again.

"Then what are we gonna do?"

Lin Fang tap her shoes on the floor thinking, before recalling some servants talking about Regent Xu's birthday gathering.

"Mom.."

"I think I have one."

This made Lin Cang stopped and look at her excitedly. "What is it? Tell me..." Lin Fang clenched and unclenching it, again. [This...]

"I heard Regent Xu's birthday is coming in 2 months... General Lin is the empress dowager's third most subordinate. He will certainly not miss this since it's the empress dowager's most favored brother date of birth gathering."
