CHAPTER 596: CHAPTER 192: CRUEL TORTURE (THREE UPDATES)

Xie Ruotong withdrew her sword.

She turned around.

And left.

Step by step, she headed towards the exit of the Song Residence.

She should have listened to Ye Qichi’s plan.

Ye Qichi was so smart.

She must have known that leaving the Song Family was her only choice.

Yet she was still so naive.

Now, she was leaving.

There would be no further reluctance.

Xie Ruotong walked steadily.

With each step, she planted her feet firmly on the ground, never allowing herself to drift.

Many maids and house servants of the Song Family appeared around her.

But no one dared to step forward to stop Xie Ruotong.

No one even dared to get close to her.

Even though she was covered in blood and wounds, she still possessed an intimidating presence.

She walked for a long time.

A very long time.

In the end, she still did not make it out of the Song Residence’s main gate.

Suddenly, everything went dark before her eyes.

It was ultimately due to the excessive loss of blood.

Ultimately due to over-exhaustion.

Ultimately due to being wounded both in body and spirit.

Her whole body heavily crashed to the ground!

She lost consciousness!

...

When Xie Ruotong next opened her eyes.

It was due to being splashed by a bucket of cold water.

She opened her eyes and saw the walls surrounding her.

Yes, it was the dark room of the Song Family.

Qiao’er died here.

She moved her body.

Only then did she realize she was tightly bound by iron chains.

Completely, unable to move.

The moment Xie Ruotong collapsed, she had already contemplated what would happen to her.

She even thought that collapse would mean death.

She had attacked Song Yanqing.

She had killed so many guards of the Song Family.

And she no longer had her grandmother’s protection.

Where did she have any chance of survival?

At this moment, being able to open her eyes again, to look at Xie Ruilin, she truly did not know whether she should be thankful for Xie Ruilin’s mercy.

She opened her eyes, and then closed them again.

"What, you’re pretending to be dead?" Xie Ruilin asked her.

Xie Ruotong did not respond.

She thought to herself.

Xie Ruilin really had a strong life.

Despite her serious injuries, she could actually stand up already.

"Having been unconscious for three whole days and nights, yet you actually came around. Xie Ruotong, your life is really cheap!" Xie Ruilin’s malicious voice said fiercely.

So, it turned out.

She had been asleep for three days and nights.

No wonder, Xie Ruilin could get out of bed already.

Speaking of which.

Xie Ruilin really did not take care of her own body.

Confining for childbirth, and suffering her heavy palm strike, ordinary people would have had to lie in bed for over a month; yet she got out of bed in three days.

It must be.

Because she feared she would die during this period.

Then Xie Ruilin would have no chance to torment her.

"What, won’t speak?" As Xie Ruilin looked at Xie Ruotong’s indifferent expression, her face suddenly darkened.

That day.

She almost died at the hands of Xie Ruotong.

If it were not for Song Yanqing risking his life to save her, she would have already been stabbed to death by Xie Ruotong.

Song Yanqing, too, because of that sword strike, had a brush with death.

Only this morning did he regain consciousness.

Although Song Yanqing was no longer in danger of losing his life, and she did not die, she suffered a miscarriage and unceasing bleeding, plus serious injuries. The doctor told her that she could no longer get pregnant.

When she heard this news.

She truly wanted to die.

She could not accept this fact.

She was very clear.

If she could not get pregnant again, then the position of the young madam of the Song Family would definitely not be hers.

Even if Song Yanqing insisted.

The Song Family would not agree.

Thinking of the consequences she would face, she genuinely wished to kill out of fury.

And in that moment, she suddenly thought of Xie Ruotong.

Had it not been for Xie Ruotong, she would never have faced these things.

It was all because of Xie Ruotong.

All caused by her own hands!

She must make Xie Ruotong pay with her blood.

Therefore.

Ignoring the advice of the servants.

In the deep of the night, she took her maids and bribed house servants to the dark room where Xie Ruotong was detained.

After Xie Ruotong fainted, she was imprisoned here by the Xie Family.

Since then, it was said, she had been continuously unconscious.

Because both Song Yanqing and she were seriously injured, no one had come to inquire about Xie Ruotong.

She even doubted whether Xie Ruotong had already died here.

After all, Xie Ruotong’s physical condition at that time might not have been better than hers and Song Yanqing’s.

If Xie Ruotong really died.

She would feel it was an injustice.

It would be too easy a death for her.

She had not properly tormented Xie Ruotong yet; how could she be allowed to die so easily.

Fortunately, she had not died.

Had not died.

She would play her to death.

Make Xie Ruotong live a fate worse than death!

"Give me, a beating!" Xie Ruilin did not need a response from Xie Ruotong, as she coldly ordered.

A house servant then appeared before Xie Ruotong, holding a black barbed leather whip.

"Crack!" The whip struck heavily upon Xie Ruotong’s body.

With one lash.

Flesh was torn, and blood spread all over.

Xie Ruotong clenched her lips tightly.

But.

She did not even utter a single moan.

These superficial wounds, when she was an Assassin, she had experienced far too many.
