Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead's Counterattack Chapter 293 - Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.25)

Chapter 293: Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.25)

Heads up: this chapter contains descriptions of torture and (far too) casual discussion of rape.

“Madam, you’re back.” Mu Cheng was standing at the door looking around anxiously. Once he saw XunMi, he quickly went up to greet her.

Shortly after he had returned, the Marshal had regained consciousness and kept calling out the Madam’s name. His mind wasn’t very clear, but he still remembered that person.

He thought, maybe this is really the so-called “loving someone more than your own life.”

It would be great if he could come across this kind of love one day.

XunMi nodded and pointed to the person behind her. “Put her in the dungeon. I’ll come back again later.”

XunMi went upstairs and took off her coat before walking into the room. Although it was only November, it was a bit cold. Her outer clothes were naturally cooled off from the cold air, and she mustn’t bring that in to her loved one. YuLan quickly took her clothes, and then pushed open the door to let her in.

At once, XunMi saw the person lying on the bed, unable to move. His eyelids were constantly twitching, as though we would wake up the next moment.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t release himself.

The rims of her eyes slightly reddened, and she walked in distress to her husband’s side. She grasped his hand and smoothed the furrows between his brows.

“Husband, you should rest well, and then get well soon. I will wait for you. You don’t need to worry about anything else, let alone worry about me. I can take care of myself.”

No matter what happens, I will first protect myself, because I know that if I get hurt, you will be sad. So that you won’t be sad, and also for myself, this time it’s my turn to protect the two of us.

She took off her shoes and snuggled up next to Ziju BaiLin, then closed her eyes and little by little, fell asleep. Only when she was well-rested would she have the strength to put in order those who should be put in order.

Mu Cheng threw Nian Xue’er into the dungeon and had the soldiers move a stool. “The Marshal has always told me that women and vile people are difficult to raise. Sure enough, he was right. Someone come, show me a fierce beating. Take the whip, and remember to dip it in chili water first.”

He was not a soft-hearted person, and in his opinion there was no man who must not beat a woman.

Besides, in such a situation, even a man with a more cultured upbringing would likely also be ruthless.

After being at the Marshal’s side for so many years, the Marshal was not only his boss, but also like family.

For a woman to suddenly harm his family to this degree, how could he not be angry?

A soldier promptly stepped forward and tied Nian Xue’er to a wooden pole. Then someone brought in the chili water and soaked the whip in the water for a moment before advancing towards Nian Xue’er and whipping her.

This dungeon frequently handled special prisoners, so the types of torture instruments and other equipment was very complete.

“Aaahhh! Don’t hit me! Let me go!”

“You sons of b.i.t.c.hes! Ah, no! Don’t!”

Nian Xue’er blood-curdling screams sounded non-stop. At first she was still full of curses following every time she was struck with the whip.

The fiery pain from the wound completely destroyed her consciousness. She frantically twisted and turned her body, trying to avoid the burning feeling.

“Begging you, stop, don’t…. No… I… I’m of the Nian family…. Ah…”

“I… won’t… let you all off… Aaaahhhh…”

She was unable to complete the last sentence. She could only scream unceasingly, and as she called out, her voice became weaker.

Mu Cheng looked at her coldly, then his face revealed a pleased expression. “Continue. Keep her alive.”

He thought the Madam would also like to personally deal with this woman, and how could he not satisfy the Madam’s wishes?

The soldiers threw themselves into the task at hand, peeling layers of flesh off of Nian Xue’er’s body.

The faint cries in the dungeon rang out for an afternoon, during which no one came. The dusky light filtering through made the mutilated person look even more dreadful.

XunMi drew back two steps in fear, not because of cowardice, but because of Nian Xue’er’s miserable condition.

Aside from her face that was still in good condition, the woman’s whole body could be seen. Her clothes had already been torn apart by the whip, and strips of the clothing hung from her body. The skin that had originally been fair was now impossible to see due to the trails of blood.

There was a thick smell of blood in the dungeon, and the ground underneath her had long turned brown.

The wooden pole was also speckled with bloodstains, making the sight more wretched.

“Madam, you’re here. The air in here is a bit bad, why don’t you go out and get some fresh air first?”

Mu Cheng was a little embarra.s.sed. He should tidy up first. He had been furious just now and overdone it, forgetting to pay attention to the environment.

XunMi shook her head, “No need, I came over to take a look.”

She kicked the kidnapped Female Lead, and saw her eyelids still moving. She was relieved. As long as she didn’t die, it was fine.

“Mu Cheng first find a doctor to heal her, after all, her face isn’t bad, and her body is still pa.s.sable. She should still be clean, so it’s not worth it to kill her. After she’s healed, send her to the brothers. Treat it as a reward for me becoming the Marshal’s wife. They are also tired after running around following the Marshal all these years.”

XunMi’s eyes held a coldness incomprehensible to outsiders, but her face was unexpectedly gentle.

It made one think she was like a spitting viper who would bite you while you weren’t paying attention, causing you to die on the spot.

Mu Cheng couldn’t help but tremble. The Madam was so terrifying. Fortunately she was on their side.

They must also be very loyal to the marshal, otherwise if they became enemies with such a formidable lady, they would certainly just be digging their own graves, ah!

One should simply say that the Madam’s skills were not something they could deal with. Adding on her excessively high intelligence, they would only have minutes and seconds.

“Then I will thank the Madam on behalf of my brothers first.” Mu Cheng thought the proposal was very good.

Inside the barracks were all men. He didn’t know what kind of fighting would go on tonight, not to mention taking a wife, could life have such problems?[1]

But after all, they are all young and vigorous men, and in some aspects were very normal.

Although the Marshal did not have a mandatory requirement in this regard, it was also strictly controlled and they were not allowed to hara.s.s innocent women.

It was also forbidden to commit acts of forcibly kidnapping women. If discovered, they would be dealt with by military law.

Concerning their needs, the soldiers basically relied on their own five fingers to cool down.

To now have tender flesh to enter, it was nevertheless a bright road. There was no need to worry about creating a bad influence, this was really a good deed.[2]

It could be a.s.sumed that that group of soldiers would be extremely happy. He just hoped they wouldn’t be too fierce. It was the first time they’d been given someone to play with.[3]

En, he still needed to first raise her well, so that this talent could serve the soldiers well.[4]

“Don’t mention it. She was able to have such an opportunity to make reparations, and the soldiers are heroes who serve the country and the people. The average person does not have such a blessing to serve heroes.[5] Oh, by the way, remember to clearly explain her role to the soldiers, and tell them to be careful. For now there is only one such person. If by chance she dies quickly, they’ll have to restrain themselves again for a long time.”

XunMi a.n.a.lyzed it very kindly. One could say it was a devotion to righteousness that inspires reverence.[6]
