She and Shen Shu Han actually once had an ambiguous relationship. Just, afterwards, she thoroughly severed it, but ultimately continued to lead on Shen Shu Han, letting him be deathly loyal to her, so that she can better pave the road for her son. After reaching a certain age, they long lost their former impulsiveness, and older cousin’s feelings also completely bottled up. However, the many years of care has already been carved into the bones, and moreover, they were tied by interest, letting the Shen family be unable to betray.
This kind of thing, others didn’t know, but as the person that shares the bed, how could one not be aware? It’s also because of this, for that cousin-in-law to dislike her, it was truly too normal. If she had other options, she also wouldn’t face that cousin-in-law, especially when having something to request of them, but right now, she had no choice. She believed, if she asks, the other party certainly will give, but this was the problem of face.
When Li Hong Ming reached the Su manor, the people of the Su family can be said to be very deferential towards him. After all, right now, they can only count on Li Hong Ming.
Li Hong Ming warmly spoke with the Su family, his words inside and out all quite eloquent, making the Su family feel extremely soothed inside.
Li Hong Ming nicely pulled in the relationship. That way, letting the Su family work even harder for him can be said to be only rightfully so.
And these were nothing more than a matter of a few words. It can be seen, the mouth, sometimes, was also considerably effective.
Li Hong Ming went to go see Su Ming Zhang. Just as expected, he was entirely just like a madman, completely unlike the usual knowledgable and composed person.
It was very difficult for Li Hong Ming to imagine that a mature and rational man would actually, for the sake of a woman, become like this. Right now, he was rather curious, exactly what kind of stunning beauty was that woman.
Li Hong Ming wanting to meet the person, naturally no one was able to stop, not even Su Ming Zhang. The people of the Su family family perhaps have misgivings towards Su Ming Zhang, but for Li Hong Ming, it was merely waving his hand.
The guards just directly went forward, having the person pressed down. In the end, he was just a weak scholar, so how can he compete with the strong body guards that knew martial arts.
Very soon, Li Hong Ming met the person he wanted to see. However, he didn’t really achieve his goal, because one was unable to make out that woman’s normal appearance. Her entire face was a sheet of scarlet, with quite a few areas already torn, including the neck, and her two hands. As long as it was skin that was exposed on the outside, it was practically all like this. Never mind being a beauty, no matter how one looked, this appearance was just terrifying. “Why is her appearance like this?”
The servant girl shook with fear, “I-it was washed by eldest master, washing over and over again. The water was very hot.”
Li Hong Ming understood. Because he liked the person so much, he couldn’t bear to kill, yet disdained the person for being too dirty. Such a way of tormenting, this woman won’t live for long either.
Li Hong Ming let someone move over a chair, sitting across from that woman, “This prince sees that you’re keeping silent, not having any expression at all, does it not hurt?”
The woman still woodenly sat there, her eyes not even moving once.
Li Hong Ming didn’t get angry either, “How about this, if you have everything all spilled out, this prince will give you a swift end, how about it?”
The woman’s eyes finally moved. This look of hers indeed wasn’t like someone that had the desire to live.

Just, Su Ming Zhang who was pressed down by the guards to the side reacted greatly, his eyes blood red, like an extremely furious beast.
However, towards his expression, Li Hong Ming was completely unconcerned, “Older cousin, I know you’re sober right now, so don’t act stupid with me. You best properly contemplate. You have already wasted more than half of the Su family’s money, and perhaps will cause the Su family for a very long period of time afterwards be in a predicament, getting ridiculed and insulted by others. Never mind losing one’s dignity, does older cousin want to have one’s reputation and life all thrown in as well? The elderly sending off the young to the afterlife? In the entire capital, older cousin can be considered the model example of a filial son, yet now, this is how you’re paying your filial duties? Afterwards, after you die, the dirty waters will all splash onto the Su family, the reputation suffering damage. The men of the Su family will have no future prospect to speak of, and the Su family daughters won’t have a good in-law family. How much will they resent you then? You will practically become the entire Su family’s sinner. And all of this, is all because of this woman that simply doesn’t care about you. Are you sure it’s worth it?”
Su Ming Zhang gradually stopped struggling, appearing to have completely broken down, further looking like a stray dog.
Li Hong Ming turned towards that woman again, “Have you made up your mind? Are you going to say? You have to know, by the time I let someone use torture on you, afraid, you will further wish for death.”
“Heh, heheheh, heheheheheh ahahahahah, ahahahahaha……….”
The woman first coldly sneer, and shortly after, just madly started laughing, even overflowing with tears.
Quite a few people just felt goosebumps all over, and coupled with that appearance, it strangely became more terrifying.
Li Hong Ming rather wasn’t worried, nonchalantly sitting there, even having the mood to drink tea, eating a bit of dessert, a look of already having a plan.
The laughter came to a sudden halt, “Everything I know? Wangye, this is thinking that I was sent by someone? Have to say, wangye, you really thought too much. I’m merely just a lowly slave that wants revenge, that’s all.” She pointed to her own face, “As soon as I was born, I looked just like my mother, looking more like her as I grew, practically just carved from the same mold. But does wangye know what kind of life I’ve lived since childhood? Because my mother had lost her virginity before marriage, after getting her child aborted, her body wasn’t even cleaned, yet she already got defiled by someone, unable to even wish for death. But under this kind of circumstance, she actually was still able to give birth to me. And my birth was practically just a plaything. Do you know what it feels like to be assaulted by someone and lose one’s purity at a few years old? Perhaps because I was too small, simply not knowing anything at all, I thus didn’t go crazy. Should this be considered a fortune or misfortune?
Do you know how much my mother hated? Know how much I hated? My mother’s everything was all brought to her by the Su family, and I’m nothing more than the continuation of my mother’s misfortune. I slept with those local ruffians, letting them help out, having that entire family all killed off. Afterwards, I became a daughter for one of the older ones among them, using this body to have them served comfortably, then let them have me sold in exchange for money. I knew that my greatest enemy was in the capital. My mother had told me in very clear detail.
Do you know how painstaking it was for me to finally reach the capital? But, thinking again, compared with the past, those days were actually pretty good.
However, in the end, I was still a bit too small, so unless someone with special fetishes, otherwise, no one would like that kind of beansprout. But, my luck was just that good. Those people actually had a kind of secret medicine, able to let a person rapidly grow. To have this current appearance at thirteen years old, isn’t it pretty good?” As she said this, she even stuck out her chest.
Carrying a strange expression, as she giddily laughed, that image………..
The Su family’s expression all weren’t that good, especially those that had participated in this matter that year.
And the one with the greatest reaction was naturally still Su Ming Zhang, “Lies, your first night together with me, you clearly bled.”
“Tsk, my mother was that miserable, yet you actually care the most about this? As expected, all men are the same. Regarding the bleeding, I didn’t even put in the effort, yet actually was able to have you deceived. This body of mine has slept with plenty of people, including those ugly and dirty beggars.”
Her saying these right now, they all knew, was for the sake of disgusting others. However, exactly whether or not it was true, it still needed to be investigated.
“Originally thought that taking revenge would be quite hard, but unexpectedly, it was this easy, just randomly setting up a trap. You’re even more impulsive than that teenage brat. However, the Su family is the maternal family of an imperial prince that held power and influence, so to want to kill you, letting you go accompany my mother, afraid, isn’t too possible.” The girl twirled her own hair, “I’m done, next will just depend on wangye’s abilities. Don’t know if wangye will be able to have this matter thoroughly cleaned up, if not………….heheheh, dragging wangye down, I will have greatly profited.”
Li Hong Ming calmly nodded, letting someone have her taken away.
Exactly whether or not there was someone else in this matter, he naturally will go verify.

Revenge served very cold but that poor girl was tormented into it. Thanks for the chapter 🙁
That poor girl. If she’s telling the truth, her entire life has been a constant torture.
