82 Stabbed in the heart

The maid did not have a choice even if she wished she did she didn’t, she was just like a small ant that could be crushed at any time but she hoped that before dying she would be able to make good use of her life and bite the Queen so hard that she will remember her for a very long time.

With the sword against her shoulder, she pushed herself off the ground and then stood up. Her entire body was shivering like a leaf in a storm and her eyes were red, she looked like a pitiful rabbit in front of the Queen who was staring at her with a blank and bored look like she wasn’t holding a sword against the neck of a maid.

” Now, let’s do this shall we?” The Queen did not raise her voice but she somehow had the ability to make everyone listen to her. Maybe it was her aura or the killing intent that was wafting off her body as she looked at the maid. ” We will do it nicely first since you are good at acting. I will suggest that you do not wait for me to turn nasty because then it will be a real pain in your bottom for you, I am not patient when I am angry. So, let’s do this again, shall we? You and that maid were planning to kill concubine Ji and hoping to pin the blame on my head on whose orders?”

The maid had her head lowered which was why no one was able to see her quivering pupils, she clasped her hands together and then said in a shaky voice, ” I don’t know what the queen is talking about, I have never done anything to harm the concubine, I am as loyal as anyone can be towards their master.”

” Tsk,” Liu Hui Ying clicked her tongue as she dropped the sword on her side from the neck of the maid and rubbed the back of her nape before rolling her head with her eyes closed as she sighed in annoyance. ” You know I really hate it when someone drags things like this. I have no time to waste my energy on you but here you are annoying me, I should have just hecked you to death but looks like you are someone who wouldn’t speak unless you are at the doors of the death. Fine I will fulfil your wish if you like it so much ..”

With that, she raised her hand and aimed straight at the heart of the maid.

” Queen what are you doing? You haven’t proven that the maid was behind any assassination attempt yet, you cannot kill her as you wish!” Zhai Tianyu hurriedly tried to stop Liu Hui Ying, he couldn’t let the matter rest just like this, he needed to find out whether the maid was telling the truth or the queen was.

” Who says that I killed her?” asked Liu Hui Ying as she turned her head to look at Zhai Tianyu with an eerie smile on her face. ” She is very much alive, aren’t you darling? Why don’t you look at the esteemed majesty and smile?”

The maid coughed out a mouthful of blood, she couldn’t believe it. When the pain of her heart being stabbed shot through her body she was certain that she was going to die but then she only felt her entire body being set ablaze on fire other than that she was still breathing and her heart was still beating, how was that even possible the maid had no idea.

.....

Liu Hui Ying had a secret when she was young, she lived with her sister. Her elder sister was nice just like her, she never did anything wrong and she was willing to help everyone around her no matter whether it was a ghost or a human. As long as they knocked on their door, her elder sister would help them, she wouldn’t even care if the ghosts or people who were coming for exorcism had the money to pay for her hard work or not.

She just did what she could to help them, it was as if she believed that she was super invincible or something of the sort and that was why money was always tight in their house.

Liu Hui Ying asked her sister to take only the clients who can pay her and not waste any more time on someone like ghosts who can’t pay.

But her sister didn’t listen, she did her own things and told her– ‘ They are so pitiful roaming on the surface of the earth like that, they should have the chance to move on.’

So, even after her objection, her sister continued to take on clients who were poor, lost and didn’t know how they died. And one day when Liu Hui Ying was gone from her house, her sister died.

It was stupid, so stupid. She had a small fight with her sister and left her alone when she knew that there was a client who was possessed by a demonic creature. She thought her sister was strong and she would be fine but when she returned, she found out that the entire house was enclosed by a ghost wall and she could only hear her sister’s pleas and screams, she might have sensed that Liu Hui Ying returned home that was why she shouted at her to leave and scared by the noise, Liu Hui Ying fainted from fright as for her sister... her sister was broken and torn.

The client who killed her was gone by the time she regained consciousness and Liu Hui Ying too didn’t remember him, all she knew was that he was a man.

When she stepped inside the house, she found her sister’s dead body and her spirit was filled with a grudge. Her sister’s soul wanted to kill the man but she couldn’t because she didn’t remember him.

But that didn’t ease her hatred for months while Liu Hui Ying was learning how to rein on the soul of her sister, her sister attacked a bunch of men and killed them when she saw them attacking women.

It was a massacre.

That was when Liu Hui Ying decided that she will become the vessel to lock her sister’s vengeful spirit.
