"People say that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, but they don't know that the pain of any bone in the body is the same, but the spine is the most fragile."

The donkey-faced woman was an elder in the Song family. She had crippled at least fifty or sixty people.

However, this is the first one that is so soft and cute, like a little white rabbit.

"She looks so pitiful, I can't bear to see her like this."

After he finished speaking, a silver needle pierced his bone marrow. It felt like being bitten by a giant ant; the wound was numb and sore.

It wasn't particularly painful.

"Is that all the tricks you have? I really overestimated you," Yuan Doudou sneered.

The donkey-faced woman wasn't annoyed. "The main event is yet to come, don't get too excited."

This time, she chose a slightly thicker silver needle, about the same thickness as a chopstick.

She was an old hand; she had long since figured out the tricks of the trade. The most severe punishment was nothing more than boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

"I'll wait." Yuan Doudou said nonchalantly, but her heart was in her throat.

She underestimated Song Lin'an; he was actually planning to slowly torture her. The direct confrontation she imagined would never happen.

Given their status, they could easily reduce her to ashes without even lifting a finger.

Just as she was lost in thought, a silver needle pierced her back. This time, it wasn't a tingling sensation, but a sharp pain.

It is utterly agonizing and vengeful.

Yuan Doudou's hands and feet were bound with ropes, and she could only twist her body.

She clenched her teeth and didn't make a sound.

Cold sweat broke out quickly, soaking her clothes.

"He has some backbone; even in this situation, he can remain silent." The donkey-faced woman felt a bit of admiration.

However, this was also Yuan Doudou's provocation to her. Torturing someone without hearing their cries of pain is an insult to the torturer.

Without hesitation, she pulled out the silver needle, and fresh blood gushed from the wound.

"Give me a thicker one," the donkey-faced woman said through gritted teeth.

The fat woman was her apprentice, and she would be making a living from this job in the future, so she quickly switched to a thicker one, as thick as two chopsticks.

"Let's see if she begs for mercy." The donkey-faced woman took the silver needles and first showed them off to Yuan Doudou.

"Tell me, how would it feel to have such a thick silver needle pierced through your body?"

Yuan Doudou sneered, "If you want to know, why don't you stab yourself and find out?"

The donkey-faced woman's eyes widened in anger, as if she wanted to devour someone.

She realized this person was difficult to deal with, and she made up her mind to torture her to death as long as no one died.

The pain doubled as the silver needles pierced her bone. Even the strong-willed Yuan Doudou couldn't bear it and fainted from the pain.

They showed no mercy, splashing a bucket of ice-cold well water over her, and Yuan Doudou slowly woke up.

"You think you're so capable? I've only used half of my power, and you're already playing dead? Don't worry, I won't let you die. I'll just make you wish you were dead."

Yuan Doudou felt weak all over, and it felt as if thousands of giant ants were gnawing at her wounds, eating away at her bone marrow.

“You’re all working so hard for her, just for a few dirty bucks. You’re willing to be a walking corpse for money.” Yuan Doudou’s eyes were vacant. “I pity you. You’re a million times more pitiful than me.”

The donkey-faced woman found her sharp eyes and quick wit quite amusing. Normal people would kneel down and beg for mercy, and some might be stubborn, but after being hit a few times, they would lose all their arrogance.

This person has a pure and delicate appearance, thin and frail, as if he could be blown away by the wind, yet he possesses an extraordinary mind.

She's a wonderful person.

It's a pity that she met the princess and fell in love with the same man; that was her fate.

"Stop arguing. The princess said that as long as you can divorce Young Master An, you can leave peacefully."

It's such a small matter, yet she's made such a big fuss about it.

Yuan Doudou thought back to when An Rong was taken away. Was he also threatened and forced to divorce her? An Rong did not agree, and the princess wanted to keep him locked up forever.

She was certain of An Rong's feelings; he wasn't even afraid of death and only wanted to be with her.

Even now, when she's being threatened, she still won't compromise.

"The princess said that as long as you agree, she will give Young Master An the antidote."

There really is an antidote.

Li Tianlang did not lie to her.

Yuan Doudou was caught in a dilemma. Divorce was the only option that An Rongsheng would choose.

Divorce would mean they would become strangers, so of course they couldn't divorce.

She realized that she was different from An Rong; An Rong could give up the antidote, but she could not.

It was obvious that she wouldn't let An Rong die.

But they didn't want the princess to succeed.

Yuan Doudou lay on the ground, her head throbbing with pain, and two little figures were fighting in her mind.

A little man said: What are you hesitating for? Quickly agree, and An Rong will be saved.

Another little person said: You can't agree, or you'll lose him forever.

Suddenly a third little man appeared, saying something different: The princess doesn't care whether you agree or not; you and An Rong are both her possessions.

She suddenly realized that the princess just wanted to see her give in.

If she truly loves An Rong, she can still give him the antidote even if they don't divorce.

An Rong will not die.

Since that's the case, she will absolutely not back down.

Having figured it out, Yuan Doudou smiled with relief.

She even laughed out loud, which angered the two women.

"If you know what's good for you, just agree quickly, and you'll suffer less."

Yuan Doudou scoffed, "Dream on, I'd rather die than agree."

The fat woman glanced at the donkey-faced woman, then went out to report to Caiwei.

"She hasn't given in yet?" Caiwei scoffed.

"Yes, he has already fainted once."

Caiwei's eyes flashed with a cold light, "You still underestimate her. Show your skills. If you don't get her to beg for mercy tonight, the princess won't let you off either."

The plump woman trembled with fear. "Miss Caiwei, this old servant will do my best. I hope Miss Caiwei will put in a good word for me."

Caiwei glanced at her sideways, then turned and left.

When Yuan Doudou heard the door open, two women came to the door and started complaining again.

"Looks like we've gotten ourselves into trouble this time. It's either her or us. We'll have to use our best skills."

The donkey-faced woman took out a black box and walked to Yuan Doudou's side.

"This contains leeches, which suck human blood and especially like people with delicate skin like you."

Yuan Doudou was bitten by leeches when she was a child and has a psychological trauma from it. When she saw the open box filled with swarms of slowly wriggling leeches, her inner fear was completely aroused.

"No," she blurted out instinctively.

The donkey-faced woman revealed a triumphant smile. Sure enough, everyone has weaknesses.

"No rush, let me give you one to try first."

A shriveled leech was placed on her arm. It was cool and refreshing. The little creature felt the warmth, wagged its tail, searched around for a while, and finally spotted a spot and burrowed inside.

"Ah!" Yuan Doudou cried out in fear.

The leech slowly burrowed inside, sucking blood as it went, and soon its body became round and plump.

"The little guy is full, have another one."
