Chapter 5: An Eye for an Eye

Translator: Paperplane 

In the evening, Liu Rushuang wore an all black outfit when she arrived at Lichun Brothel.

Today, whilst Liu Ruyue was out, Liu Rushuang put out an order for the Blood Feast assassins to kidnap her.

When she wasn’t around, Liu Ruyue actually dared to put a slow-acting poison in her tea!

She had to pay the bitter consequences!

After a great time at Lichun Brothel, the Fourth Prince decided to take a stroll down the streets of the Capital.

He wore a sky blue embroidered robe with a silvery jade belt around his waist. With his pitch-black hair tied up with a jade hairpin, he looked incredibly rich and well-pampered.

However, this Fourth Prince was infamous across Capital for being a pervert.

Although he had eighteen concubines in his manor, he would always get fed up of doting on them within ten to fifteen days!

“Haha! Lichun Brothel sure is worthy of its name as the best brothel in the Capital!” Exclaimed the Fourth Prince cheerfully, as he emerged from the brothel.

Out of nowhere, a masked person suddenly appeared before him.

The Fourth Prince couldn’t help but stand frozen in his tracks and his face instantly turned pale-white in fear.

“W-Who… are you?” Asked the Fourth Prince with a trembling voice.

“Do you want to marry Liu Ruyue?” Liu Rushuang had her face covered but revealed only a pair of cold eyes.

“Of course I want to! Who in the world doesn’t know that she’s the most beautiful woman in the Capital?” The Fourth Prince flashed a disgustingly perverted grin at the thought of Liu Ruyue’s alluring beauty.

“The person you want is in guest room number three on the second floor of Lichun Brothel. Go, quickly. Once you’ve had her, all you have to do is request for an imperial decree from the Emperor,” she said with a flat and cold voice. Her face looked so calm, as if she wasn’t even trying to set someone up.

“Well yeah I want to, but what do I do when the Minister comes to find me?” A glint of pleasant surprise flashed across the Fourth Prince’s eyes, but then darkened instantly when that very thought cross his mind.

“She was abducted on the streets. You saved her and to show her gratitude, Liu Ruyue willingly slept with you. Besides, you’re about to request for the imperial decree, so the Senior Minister won’t say a word.”

“B-But… the Crown Prince always wanted to marry Liu Ruyue!” The Fourth Prince pursed his lips at the thought of the Crown Prince’s anger. The Crown Prince gets all the good stuff!

“Haha… you don’t have to worry about that. Support for the Crown Prince is powerful enough, so why would the Emperor betroth the Senior Minister’s daughter to him? This is all I want to say. It’s up to you to decide what you want.” Liu Rushuang smirked and let out a charming yet evil laugh. Then, she took flight and gracefully drifted away.

The Fourth Prince thought about it for a moment before his lips broke into a slight smile.

But then, the anxiousness rose to his face, a glint in his eyes broiled, and he walked back into Lichun Brothel.

Liu Rushuang watched from afar as the Fourth Prince headed back into the Lichun Brothel. Her eyes had a dark and dreary tint.

She should have done this ages ago!

Till this day, she still remembers the Capital’s competition for young ladies when she was four years old.

At the time, Liu Ruyue kept her by her side like a maid and made her enter the competition together. Unbeknownst to her, Wu Xiyu taught her how to read by then.

When she saw Liu Rushuang’s calligraphy was prettier than her own, Liu Ruyue spilled ink on Liu Rushuang’s paper when no one was looking.

And with that, Liu Rushuang received last place.

The noble girls of the Capital all laughed at her.

She didn’t say anything, but obediently kept her head down.

Yet, when they returned home, Liu Ruyue ordered the servants to push her down on her knees.

She grabbed the whip and repeatedly hit the right hand she used to write with.

She tried her hardest to fight back but she couldn’t move away. The hitting didn’t stop until the blood and flesh of her right hand smeared.

With that thought, she reached her hand out and stroked the plum blossom mark between her brows.

Fortunately, Wu Xiyu still had that strange plum blossom to save her.

At the thought of Liu Ruyue’s sinister eyes and how she left with a cold laugh, Liu Rushuang knew that her vengeance was still far from enough!

At the Lichun Brothel, Liu Ruyue was dazed from being drugged. She stared at the blurry man in front of her who tightly embraced her, and could only beg for relief.

The Fourth Prince laughed pervertedly and assaulted her non-stop. Finally, he had the famous, most beautiful and talented woman in the Capital! He felt oddly satisfied.

“Ah.. y-you…” After Lin Ruyue saw that it was the Fourth Prince beside her, she cried fearfully over and over again.

“Lin Ruyue, just you wait to marry me!” Snickered the Fourth Prince sinisterly. He reached his hand out and stroked Liu Ruyue’s face.

“Go away, you… Now! Go away… wahh wahh…” Cried Li Ruyue as she tried hard to slap the Fourth Prince’s hand away.

She wanted to marry the Crown Prince!

How did things turn out like this? Wahhh wahhh…

The Fourth Prince didn’t care about just how hopeless Liu Ruyue was! He ordered people to send her home, and then left for the palace to request for an imperial decree.
