T/N: This chapter was so uncomfortable to translate, even worse for me than the chapters about Ruan Fang Fei earlier in the novel.

Prior to marrying, Princess Min Xiang would feign innocence and act cute, like a spoiled child pretending to be naive in front of Le Cheng Emperor. Moreover, Noble Consort Su was the most favored person in the imperial harem. Even if Noble Consort Su would restrain her a little, her status and position was placed there, and Noble Consort Su also wouldn’t teach her own daughter to ‘treat others with kindness’. Princess Min Xiang was also very clear, with that many brothers and sisters, there were only those few that were able to make her exercise restraint. Among the princesses, she was further the ‘elder princess’. Even if not that unruly and arrogant, she was still very willful, and not someone that would easily suffer a loss or be wronged.

Breaking away from Noble Consort Su’s discipline, and having such a husband that further fostered her temper, when stirring up a violent storm, the destructive power was definitely formidable.

With a delicate beauty in his arms and two children around his knees, fifth fuma was like a completely different person from when he was with Princess Min Xiang, also unlike how he appeared in outsiders’ eyes, appearing to also have a bit of elegance and grace. He wasn’t prominent, but he wasn’t considered very mediocre either, having a certain degree of character. However, only here was he a true man. His ‘delicate wife’ always carried a look of reverence towards him, and even if throwing a fit because of the matters outside, she would still be gentle and considerate. She was good at understanding others, and further docile and obedient. His two sons were also bright and clever, and always carried a child-like admiration towards him. No matter what he said, they would all sing him praises to the extreme, believing that he was the most incredible person in the world. His vanity and ego were greatly satisfied.

When Princess Min Xiang led people in breaking down the door and barging in, fifth fuma’s originally prideful look, after a moment of astonishment, became incomparably terrified. He didn’t pay any attention to the woman by his side, yet subconsciously had his two children blocked behind his back.

Princess Min Xiang coldly sneered, “This while, you’re rather like a man, but really unfortunate, it’s also just this. ————-Tie them up and take them away.”

Princess Min Xiang’s true nature, there was no one more clear than this fuma, and precisely because of this, in the already freezing winter weather, his entire person was like as if having fallen into an ice cavity, his whole body stiff and rigid, seemingly even his blood all froze. But, completely not waiting for him to react, including himself, the four of them all got tied up. Just as fifth fuma wanted to open his mouth, he just got ruthlessly slapped a few times, his whole mouth filled with blood, his teeth loosening, and his face rapidly swelling.

One has to know, even if princesses in a certain sense didn’t actually have any power, they were still the emperor’s daughters after all. The princess manor’s provisions were also quite complete. The guards, regardless of whether it was in quality or quantity, all can’t compare with a qinwang’s, but that was also according to standard. Even ordinary upper class noble families all can’t exceed either. These people at most just served to look after the home and guard the premises, but as the saying goes, where there is such master, there will certain be such servants. Having become accustomed to Princess Min Xiang’s attitude towards fifth fuma, these people naturally violently stomped on him along with, and this while, they further won’t be lenient.

Even fifth fuma was all treated as such, still count on that woman he raised as well as his two children be able to be treated well?

After getting thoroughly humiliated and disgraced by Princess Min Xiang, fifth fuma would always come here to look for his dignity. The more cowardly of a man, in a place where he can find his dignity, the more extreme his methods. And this woman that he raised, completely adhered to him and obeyed him, so naturally there was no need to be roundabout, just needing to use the most direct violence to vent.

Towards this kind of thing, there wasn’t a single woman that wouldn’t be scared. This woman that was like a canary naturally wasn’t an exception. And towards the main culprit that brought about all this, she naturally feared to the extreme. Although fifth fuma never said anything specifically, through his speech and conduct, she more or less could guess a little. She once even dreamed of waiting for this man to get married, and having her and her two children taken back. Even if he married a princess, she still harbored a bit of hope. But, after enduring the punches and kicks coming from this man again and again, and learning the reason, that bit of thought just disappeared without a trace. What remained was just days and days of living in fear, because she was very clear, once her existence gets discovered by Princess Min Xiang, then she will die very miserably, and she won’t have the slightest power to resist. After all, that was an imperial princess. Crushing her to death was just like crushing to death an ant that simple. It’s not that she never thought of leaving before, but where can she go? She was just a powerless orphan girl. If not for this man, don’t know how she would have ended up. Moreover, she couldn’t give up her two children either. She has always been in fear and trepidation, continuously hoping to not get discovered, but she also knew, paper can’t contain fire, there will inevitably be a day………………..

That’s why, when Princess Min Xiang charged in with people, aside from shaking in fear, there was also a relieving feeling of ‘the dust finally settling’ mixed in. It was extremely contradictory, yet genuinely existed.

The most pitiful and innocent were just the two children. They didn’t know anything at all, not even knowing what kind of existence their own mother as well as they themselves were. They just loudly cried in fear, subconsciously crying towards their parents for help, but it was completely useless.

And even if these two children were innocent, they similarly didn’t receive even the slightest bit of gentle treatment, even if it was just getting picked up and carried along by a certain guard. In reality, they got roughly shoved along, and if they trip, it was also getting dragged up. And if unable to stand up in time, they would just get dragged along on the ground.

Seeing their own children getting treated as such, as the parents, they certainly would feel both heartbroken and angry. Fifth fuma had an unprecedentedly malevolent and hatred filled look on his face. However, Princess Min Xiang just coldly sneered at him. She will clearly tell him, his life and death, his everything, were all controlled in her hand. If he dares to betray her or rebel against her, then his ending will be exceptionally miserable.

Princess Min Xiang ostentatiously came, and then ostentatiously left. The entire process all wasn’t covered up, and nor was it low-key. The ‘family of four’ were openly dragged along behind her carriage. Anyone with eyes were all able to tell what the situation was at a glance.

Min Xiang’s princess manor was separated by no less than half the city from the place fifth fuma raised his outside mistress. As such, along the way, don’t know how many people learned of this matter.

After returning to the princess manor, Princess Min Xiang didn’t say much, just having the woman fifth fuma raised thrown to a group of guards, leaving just four words——–bestowed to you all. Afterwards, she even forced fifth fuma as well as the two children to watch. Those guards, even the ones that still had a bit of conscience, this while, it was still having it all fed to the dogs. Because they knew, if they were to listen to their conscience, then Princess Min Xiang will have them slaughtered. And those without a conscience naturally just became even more unbridled. Compared to a fuma, they were just insignificant nobodies, yet now, they can have a taste of fuma’s woman and trample on fuma’s dignity. That kind of pleasure from rising above their ‘superior’ wasn’t something that happened often.

Princess Min Xiang didn’t stay to watch, but she did listen to the scene.

That woman’s miserable and desperate screams, begging for forgiveness, the two children’s loud wails as well as cries for help, the guards’ unbridled and obscene laughters and insults, all merely came from the other side of the flower bush. Princess Min Xiang leisurely drank her tea, her expression very much indifferent as she listened. Just gradually, her eyes narrowed, because from beginning to end, she never heard her own fuma’s voice.

Although it sounded like a rowdy feast, but don’t forget, right now, it was in the middle of winter. While outside, afraid, no matter how hot-blooded, it was still difficult to get up. That’s why, for the victim, it was a kind of torture, but for the abuser, it wasn’t any better. For it to not shrink away was already not bad.

In reality, that woman that was getting humiliated and violated, although continuously cried for forgiveness, but from beginning to end, she never once looked to fifth fuma, nor asked him for help, because she knew, it was useless.

Fifth fuma’s two eyes filled with blood, the tip of his tongue further torn, his fingernails digging into his palm, but he fixedly watched from beginning to end. Even if the two children tugged on his clothes, begging him to save their mother, he was still unmoved, his head never once turning. ————Continuously watching just like that, just like wanting to have everything all burned into his mind, transforming into deep hatred.

Since he didn’t make a sound, Princess Min Xiang expressed that she was unhappy. Her eyes slightly turned, letting someone have her fuma as well as the two children brought over, “Hasn’t father-in-law and mother-in-law been begging to see me this whole time? Have them brought in. Since they’ve been helping fuma deceive this princess, then some things, naturally should also let them participate in.”

Fifth fuma’s parents, after learning that Princess Min Xiang already knew everything, and moreover, personally went to catch, nearly fainted. However, in the end, their worry prevailed over their fear.

The way they came in was different from where Princess Min Xiang was situated. Some things, they not only heard, they also saw. In that moment, they truly didn’t know whether they should be embarrassed, angry, or filled with hatred. Their feelings towards Princess Min Xiang dropped from the negatives all the way into the abyss. And the chilliness in their heart further made them shiver all over.

They knelt down to pay their respects to Princess Min Xiang.

Princess Min Xiang just glanced down at them from above, but didn’t have any intention to call for them to rise. Looking towards the two pitifully crying children, “Really cute, no wonder fuma, and father and mother-in-law all like. Unfortunately, this princess doesn’t like. Someone come, have the tongues cut out, and the tendons in the arms and legs sliced.”

“Princess…………..” Fifth fuma’s parents were alarmed, and fifth fuma also violently lifted his head.

Princess Min Xiang took it all in, laughing willfully, “If you all open your mouth, then you will end up just like them, so think carefully.”

It was obvious, the three of them all didn’t say anything. Just, the hatred in their eyes could no longer be contained.

Princess Min Xiang mockingly laughed, “As expected, you all still care about yourselves more. ———Get moving.”

The two children couldn’t even react in time, just getting pounced on by demons. And in that extremely short amount of them, they just completed Princess Min Xiang’s task. It was obvious, it wasn’t the first time doing this kind of thing.

The scene was quite gruesome, and in reality, Princess Min Xiang has always been scared of red colored liquids, especially blood, yet at this moment, she forcibly endured. The corners of her eyes were smiling, yet her eyes were ice cold.

If not exploding in silence, then it was just dying in silence. In this moment, fifth fuma chose the former.

“Malicious bitch, go die!”

T/N: This is why in the early chapters, I said feel bad for Princess Min Xiang while you still can. Regardless of what the fuma has done, he’s still technically an abused victim under Princess Min Xiang.
