The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

"Want to die, isn’t that so? Go on, die for me to see!" She deftly closed the woman’s jaw again, disdainfully severing another of her fingers. "Heh, if you don’t feel anything when I cut off your fingers, I don’t mind bringing in some beggars for you to play with. Seeing how eagerly you bring tea to the study, I guess you’ll like that, won’t you?"

It must be said that a person carefully trained is extraordinary indeed, having two fingers chopped off and only screaming once.

After that, she refused to utter another word.

"Very well!"

Yang Chuxia led her into the firewood shed and had Brother Li fetch some beggars, though these were all disguised as beggars since there were none in Mianyang nowadays.

"One last chance, will you talk or not?"

Yang Chuxia thought to herself, if she still wouldn’t speak after this, then she could be killed outright.

Seeing that she remained silent, Yang Chuxia poured a cup of water and, in front of her, dumped a packet of medicine into it. She approached, pinched her chin, "You don’t want to speak, I don’t want to listen anymore. But I don’t want you to die too easily either, so how about we rape before we kill? Once you’re dead, I’ll strip you naked and toss you onto the street, and I really want to see if the master behind you would come to claim your body."

As she spoke, Yang Chuxia handed her the medicine. However, having barely forced a little in, she saw her shaking her head and avoiding the cup, finally admitting in a miserable voice, "I’ll talk, I’ll talk."

"What are you looking for, who asked you to find it?"

"They said to find something very important, very important."

"Are you speaking nonsense?" Another finger was chopped off. Yang Chuxia was running out of patience, frustrated by the imperial edict.

Initially, she had wanted to catch a big fish, but time was not on her side, and she had to cut through the mess quickly now.

"They didn’t specify what to find, just mentioned a gold badge."

"A gold badge?" Yang Chuxia suddenly remembered such an item from the past.

"Who asked you to find it?"

"I don’t know, I’ve never seen the master."

"Do you have any connection with the Fancy Red Pavilion?" Yang Chuxia asked another question.

"I don’t know, I don’t know if there’s a connection!" Ming Yu shook her head again.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia stabbed her with a dagger, not into a finger this time, but into her arm, "Speak, be honest, I warn you, otherwise this cup of medicine is all yours."

"I don’t know, I really don’t know, I don’t know how I ended up in Mianyang, I just knew, upon waking up, that my mission was to infiltrate the Ye Residence."

"Where were you when you woke up?"

"In a room."

"If you found the badge, how would you contact your master?" Yang Chuxia asked another question.

Pressed to this point, Ming Yu stopped speaking again, no matter how Yang Chuxia stabbed her, she said nothing more, until several men came in, surrounding her with laughter, and she finally showed some reaction.

"Throw a bundle of red paper at the corner of the courtyard wall by the mansion gate. Someone would come for me."

Yang Chuxia laughed twice upon hearing this and suddenly tore the woman’s coat, "If you don’t be honest, what I’ll rip next will be your dress, and then the people outside will come in. You think I wouldn’t dare?"

"Throw money for the deceased!"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Very well!"

Yang Chuxia snorted coldly, "Take her down for me, keep a good eye on her, don’t let her die. If even one word she says is false, this woman will be your reward."

"Yes, Madam."

Mingcui was now fully involved in this matter and felt very scared, especially seeing the Madam sever fingers, so bloody, but she remained relatively calm.
