Before Qin Su could speak, Xue Huai'an said again, "It's good that you're here."

He turned his head and his gaze fell on Yu Shuo.

He was still wearing a black cloak, a gold crown, and gold embroidery on the cuffs and hem of his robe. Every detail was exquisite and noble.

“I want to talk to you alone.” Xue Huai’an turned his head and met Qin Su’s gaze again, this time becoming much colder.

Yu Shuo did not move.

"There's really nothing to talk about between us." Qin Su touched the warm hand warmer again. She realized that the hand warmer was really nice, and it was no wonder that so many noble ladies in the capital liked it.

It's still cold. I'll have Xiaozhi and the others prepare some too.

"It's alright to just come and see you for a moment."

I always have to come and visit.

Xue Huai'an suddenly glanced at Yu Shuo, got up and walked to the railing. He gripped the railing with both hands and grinned, but the smile had a hint of madness. "I have something to tell you, but Yu Shuo can't know about it."

Qin Su frowned slightly. She glanced at Yu Shuo, who remained silent, his eyes calm.

It seems he doesn't care whether Qin Su lets him leave or not.

Qin Su thought for a short while, then shook her head. "I'm not interested in what you're trying to say."

She is content with the present and has no intention of changing anything.

Don't you want to know why you were given a second chance at life?

Xue Huai'an's eyes now appeared to have more white than pupil, giving them a sharp and terrifying look, as if he were possessed by some monster.

Qin Su's breathing almost stopped, but she quickly shook her head.

I don't want to know.

The abbot of Xishan Temple once revealed to her that the reason she was reborn was because of Yu Shuo. She didn't know the specific reason, but it was certainly not a good method.

A person only has one life, and to live a second life is already defying the heavens.

Xue Huai'an didn't expect Qin Su to be so stubborn. He got impatient and slammed his head against the railing.

"Yu Shuo will die! He will die!"

He rammed his body against the railing, seemingly desperate to reach Qin Su. "I remember now, I remember everything! Yu Shuo has committed too many murders, he will die! He will definitely die!"

Qin Su frowned, seemingly wanting to say something to Xue Huai'an, but Yu Shuo pulled her into his arms and said calmly, "Everyone dies."

The veins on Xue Huai'an's forehead and hands bulged, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

"Yu Shuo, Yu Shuo, you will die a horrible death!"

Qin Su frowned, raised her foot and kicked hard. Xue Huai'an was kicked to the ground, but he seemed to feel no pain. He got up and said to Qin Su, "Not only Yu Shuo, but also that bastard, including your parents, will die!"

You're a cursed harbinger of misfortune!

Yu Shuo covered Qin Su's ears, but she still heard what he said.

"What did you say?" She shook off Yu Shuo's hand and went over to ask him.

"Want to know?" Xue Huai'an's handsome face was squeezed between the railings, his expression ferocious and exaggerated.

"Let me go, and if you help me clear my name, I'll tell you everything, including how to resolve it."

"Open the door," Qin Su said to Yu Shuo.

Yu Shuo frowned, pulled Qin Su over and said to her, "Don't believe what he says. In his current state, nothing he says can stand up to scrutiny."

He didn't want to let Xue Huai'an go, but he was also worried that Xue Huai'an would hurt Qin Su.

After all, she was injured.

"Open the door."

Hearing Qin Su's firm stance, Yu Shuo was in a very bad mood. He forced a smile and still took the key to open the door.

Xue Huai'an laughed triumphantly, "I knew it, I just... um..."

Qin Su raised her foot and kicked Xue Huai'an in the stomach. The kick was very powerful, and Xue Huai'an crashed into the wall.

He clutched his abdomen in pain, his entire face contorting in agony.

"You...you..." He was in so much pain that he could barely utter a complete sentence.

Not to mention Xue Huai'an, even Yu Shuo was a little confused by Qin Su's actions.

He thought...

Qin Su stepped forward, pulled out a dagger, and plunged it deep into his kneecap. Xue Huai'an let out a piercing scream. His eyes were glazed over in pain, and his face and back were covered in cold sweat.

"I'll tell you everything." He reached out to grab Qin Su shakily, trying to make her feel like someone he could lean on.

Qin Su suddenly turned the dagger around, and the sharp blade felt terrible rubbing against the bone. Xue Huai'an almost fainted from the pain.

At this moment, Xue Huai'an looked as if he had been pulled out of the water, like a water ghost.

After he calmed down a bit, Qin Su said, "I don't believe a single word you said."

Xue Huai'an was panting heavily, his pupils were somewhat unfocused.

But that wasn't the end of it; Qin Su did the same to his other leg. In the end, Xue Huai'an "happily" fainted.

At least you won't feel pain when you faint, right?

However, Qin Su didn't want her to have it so easy, so after waking him up, she said, "Don't faint. Aren't all of this what you did to me before?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuo's pupils contracted. He walked over, squatted down, and said to Qin Su, "I'll do it."

Qin Su toyed with the blood-stained dagger in her hand and said with a smile, "How can that be? Of course, I should avenge myself."

After saying that, she slowly severed Xue Huai'an's tendons in his hands and feet. Xue Huai'an fainted from the pain countless times, but Qin Su woke him up each time.

"No rush. Do you feel that your career in this life has been very smooth? Perhaps you don't know this yet? Tao Rong is actually one of my people."

Xue Huai'an was barely breathing, like a fish out of water, wanting to breathe but struggling to breathe.

"Your promotion was also at the behest of Prince Chen, on my behalf. How about it? Surprised?"

However, Xue Huai'an's mind was almost incapable of thinking; all he knew was that Qin Su would not let him go.

She will definitely kill herself.

Definitely.

What else does he have to offer as leverage?

Xue Huai'an thought for a long time, but the pain occupied his entire brain, and he couldn't think of anything.

"Originally, I wanted to keep you," Qin Su said calmly. "Keeping you around would let you experience what it's like to be crippled. You would bear all the pain I suffered, so that you could understand how I felt back then."

“But…” Qin Su suddenly gripped the dagger tighter, “I’m keeping you alive so that things might get complicated.”

After saying that, Qin Su plunged the dagger in her hand into Xue Huai'an's heart, right in the middle of it.

Xue Huai'an gazed at Qin Su, as if her image was completely imprinted in the depths of his soul.

But Qin Su particularly disliked his gaze, so after pulling out the dagger, she slashed across his eye again.

When she was sure the person was dead beyond any doubt, Qin Su collapsed, her shoulder wound reopened, and blood gushed out from under her cloak.

She was somewhat dazed.
