Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress-Chapter 52: Majestic Grandeur

After Liu Rushuang emerged from the Minister’s manor, she headed for an equally large restaurant and right up to third and top floor.

“Young Miss, you’re back!” Smiled Qing’Er.

“Prepare water for a bath!” Liu Rushuang said flatly.

“Yes, Young Miss. I’ll go now!” Qing’Er noticed that Liu Rushuang returned in good spirits. She quickly called someone to draw some water for a bath.

Liu Rushuang could smell the scent of fresh blood on her clothes and furrowed her brows. She was still not used to the smell.

Liu Rushuang walked over to the balcony and looked down at the streets.

All she saw was Han Moze ride his horse majestically followed by Han Moxi, army generals and servants behind him.

Han Moze’s good looks attracted swarms of female citizens.

Both sidewalks were full of women with love hearts in their eyes, as they gazed upon Han Moze, practically drooling.

Liu Rushuang couldn’t help but scoff. What’s there to like about that domineering man?

When her eyes turned towards the back of the procession, she saw a red, high class, wooden sedan. Liu Rushuang furrowed her brows. ‘Who was sitting inside?‘ She wondered.

But in that very instant, Liu Rushuang knew the answer to her question.

A skinny hand opened the curtain of the sedan and the Third Princess Ouyang Yaoyi’s head peered out.

She had a tall topknot with a red flower. She looked dainty and quite beautiful.

Liu Rushuang’s eyes slightly widened. Why was Ouyang Yaoyi leaving with bridal procession?

What the hell was that overbearing man doing?

Han Moze seemed to have sensed Liu Rushuang’s gaze, because he looked up with a sinister smile and looked right over at her.

Liu Rushuang hastily hid in the shadows.

That tyrant’s martial arts was truly powerful and limitless!

How did he sense her from so far away?

“Young Miss, the water’s ready!” Cried Qing’Er.

“Mhm, got it,” replied Liu Rushuang flatly.

Qing’Er put a clean white dress for Liu Rushuang out on the table, then left with a bright smile. The Young Miss wasn’t used to being waited upon whilst she bathed, so it was better for her to step outside.

Liu Rushuang walked up to the side of the wooden tub and removed her clothes piece by piece to bathe.

...

Meanwhile, at the Minister’s manor... freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The doctor wiped the cold sweats from his forehead and kneeled in fear. “I simply cannot heal the Second Young Miss!”

Minister Liu violently kicked the doctor. “Get out!”

Then, he sat by the bed, staring at a pale-faced Liu Ruxing and cried in agony. “Daughter! Wake up!”

“Master, bad news! The Eldest Young Miss has passed away!” Exclaimed a servant boy, as he ran in dread.

He had just gone to check the Eldest Young Miss but found corpses scattered all over her courtyard and the Eldest Young Miss’ body completely covered in frightening bloody lashes.

It was obvious that she had bled to death.

Minister Liu fell instantly in deep shock. “Th-this... ha.. ha... My daughters... My beloved daughters... ah... heavens... How could you treat me like this?”

Minister Liu’s chubby face was covered in tears.

He scrambled to get up in a hurry and cried, “Hurry! I want to go see my daughter!”

The servants dressed in grey trembled as they stepped back in fear to put some distance between them and the now virtually crazed Minister Liu.

Minister Liu cried frantically whilst he ran to Liu Ruyue’s room and saw someone on the floor, who looked virtually unrecognizable.

His whole body shuddered, and then he erupted in a loud cry. “My precious daughter! Ah ahhh...”

But the bad news was far from over. Another servant who looked like he had terrible news to report stepped inside the building.
