Zhu Cheng didn't know when she fell asleep and she didn't know when the cart started to thunder around the road like it was flying. All she knew was that when she woke up, she was being jolted around like a package that was carelessly taken care of.

  " Ouch!" she winced when the cart hit a huge bump on the road, and her head smacked against the flimsy wall behind her. She nursed the spot where she was hit and shouted, " What are you doing? Don't you want your money? Drive carefully or I will dock your pay, I am telling you that alright!"

  Zhu Cheng jerked around on the cart and finally realised why this cart was so cheap. The driver didn't even know how to drive! Just look at those bumps and pits she was hitting. It was like she was trying to see how durable this cart of hers was.

  When the cart hit another bump Zhu Cheng swore at the woman who was driving the carriage. " Fu*k what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to get us killed? Slow the f*ck down before this stupid creaking cart of yours breaks!"

  There was no response from the front and when Zhu Cheng realised that the woman was ignoring her, she was so angry that her face twisted and she snapped. " What are you trying to do here huh? Are you trying to ignore me? I am telling you that if you don't slow down then you are going to regret it!"

  Another bump and another hit.

  " All right that does it!"Zhu Cheng got on her fours on the thundering cart and somehow managed to drag herself to the front and as she whipped the curtains that were hiding that bitch from her, all the blood drained from her face just as her stomach hollowed out. Because no woman was sitting in front and driving!

  Heck, there wasn't even an ox!

  The cart was slipping down a slope that led to the edge of a cliff, Zhu Cheng was terrified, she wanted to jump but the cart was moving so wildly that every time that she tried to stand up she would stagger and fall down. The cart was slowly gaining speed as it started to get closer to the edge of the cliff and just as Zhu Cheng finally managed to stand up the cart swooped on the edge of the cliff.

  She tried to run to the back and escape from there but it was too late, the cart plummeted and together with it Zhu Cheng's heart plummeted as well. No, she didn't want to die, she was still too young to die and she finally managed to escape Xiang Bei and her clutches she was going to start a new life and get married to a new mer and have kids with him—— she couldn't die yet——


  The Cart hit the floor and shattered and inside it, Zhu Cheng felt like her body was crumbling into pieces. Her entire body was aching, she could no longer think straight and understand which bone broke or where the splinters of the wood were sticking to her skin. She was in just too much pain …… so much pain that she wished she could just die and this pain would end.

  It was only then did she realise that the valley wasn't any deep and the distance between the cliff and the ground wasn't much but it was enough to hurt her.

  Zhu Cheng tried to breathe but maybe the broken piece of wood was stuck in her back and seemed to have dug in deeper all the way to her lungs because she was having trouble breathing.

  " Does it hurt?" The hooded woman was back but this time her voice was no longer gravely and gyrating. In fact, it was a familiar voice, a voice that she has heard a lot of times in her life.

  " Lang… ho……how could you do this to me?" Zhu Cheng couldn't believe it! Her sister in law was the one behind this accident and maybe she was behind everything else as well. Only now did she understand why the cart driver asked for fifty cents while the others were asking for eighty and ninety. " You…how …c……could you…… they are your…cough…niece and …n……nephews…… ho……how can yo……u sl…e.ee.p at night knowing what… you did?"

  Lang stared at her sister in law with a gaze that was nowhere near empathetic. She just stared at her calmly like the one dying wasn't her sister in law," Did I do that? Or were you the one who chose to sacrifice them?"

  All the words that Zhu Cheng wanted to say got choked in her throat as she hatefully glared at Lang and coughed out another mouthful of blood. " You…you will not have a good end, Lang…what you have ……done…you will definitely pay for it,…. Karma will get you back for this."

  Upon hearing all the curses and threats that Zhu Cheng has to say to her, Lang simply raised her brow. " Like it got you?"

  At first, Zhu Cheng didn't understand what Lang was saying but when she realised it, her face turned purple. " You… You …did this all for … a……w……worthless ……mer?"

  Lang's eyes turned cold when she heard Zhu Cheng calling her son ' worthless mer' she sneered as she said, " You better watch your mouth, Zhu Cheng. That worthless mer is my son and I will do anything for him, can't you see that?"

  Zhu Cheng was so angry that she couldn't breathe…couldn't see that? Of course, she could see it! But what kind of idiot destroys her in-law's entire family all because of a mer? It was simply stupid!

  When Lang didn't receive an answer, she understood that Zhu Cheng was at the end of her life, she smiled coldly and draped her hood back. " Well then, see you on the other side of the river, sister in law. And do take care of yourself, wolves are hiding in this forest. I would have come to help you out but as you can see, my hands are too short to do that."

  Zhu Cheng chewed the inside of her cheek. Hateful, Lang was making fun of her, all because she didn't help that worthless mer back then.
