In the ink-black night.
In the dark, damp cave.
Suddenly, a baby's cry rang out.
"There's another one? It's not breathing. What a shame, we can only throw it in the back mountain to feed the dogs."
"With this child, I can make King Ye marry me! Yun Shu, you deserve to die! I painstakingly drugged King Ye, only for you to get there first and even be pregnant with his child!"
Yun Shu lay on the ground, her breath faint, her feet shackled. The blood flowing from her body stained the ground. She looked at the child in Lin Yun Yueyin's arms, dazed and helpless.
Her eyes only held her two children.
These were the children she had carried for ten months and given birth to! She wanted her own children back.
"My babies, give me back my babies... I'm going to take them to find King Ye... Cousin, you are so wicked, you are not my sister."
Yun Yueyin looked down at her from above, her expression arrogant, her eyes ferocious and triumphant. "Does a lovesick simpleton like you even dream of marrying King Ye? King Ye wants to vomit when he sees you! It's only because your father was a great general that I had to pretend to care for a fool like you! My father also fought on the battlefield, so why is your father a general and mine isn't?"
"You've made me lose all face in front of people! You damned fool!"
Malicious words rained down upon her.
Yun Yueyin became increasingly agitated. She kicked the already weak Yun Shu again and again. Suddenly, she pulled out a knife and ruthlessly stabbed Yun Shu, again and again.
It was as if she intended to turn Yun Shu into a sieve!
Covered in blood, Yun Shu curled up in the corner, her life hanging by a thread. "Wuwuwuwu... Daddy, I want my Daddy..."
"I want to find King Ye, I gave birth to two babies..."
Yun Yueyin, holding the dripping knife, her eyes full of venom, sneered, "You're considered dead by your father and his men. You want to find King Ye? Dream on!"
"I forgot to tell you, your father was so heartbroken from not being able to find you that he became incredibly reliant on me. He even needs me to counsel him to get over it! From today onwards, there will no longer be a fool like you in the General's household to disgrace us!"
With that, she raised her foot and stepped on Yun Shu's face.
She ground her heel down fiercely.
"A fool doesn't deserve such a beautiful face."
"Ah! It hurts so much, let go! My face! It hurts so much! King Ye, save Shu Shu..." Yun Shu struggled with all her might, screaming in pain.
Unfortunately, her cousin, whom she had always thought gentle and understanding, pressed down harder.
She was so brutally stepped on that she coughed up blood after blood.
Her face was mangled and bloody.
It turned out Yun Yueyin had attached fine nails to her shoe.
Seeing Yun Shu's mangled, unrecognizable face, Yun Yueyin felt extreme pleasure, her expression twisting into a grotesque grimace. "The more miserable you are, the happier I am!"
"I should thank you too. I was afraid of pain, but you helped me give birth to a fair and adorable son! It's a pity the other one was stillborn!"
"But it's not a complete waste, those wild dogs in the back mountain will thank you!"
Yun Yueyin gleefully uttered these words, then carefully cradled one of the children and, with her other hand, carried the stillborn infant away.
This was a cave deep in the mountains, where no one would ever come.
Let Yun Shu bleed to death!
And she, from this moment on, would emerge as the mother of King Ye's son and the adopted daughter of the Great General!
Moments later.
Suddenly.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
