Chapter 10 A Blood Debt Must Be Paid with Blood...

Mộ Thanh Thư smiled, her eyes glimmering with excitement. The faint sound of the little girl's cries filled the silent night. She lightly leaned back against her chair, muttering,

"A blood debt must be paid with blood."

The servant on the ground hurriedly crawled toward her, tears streaming down her face. A smile appeared in Mộ Thanh Thư's eyes.

"What does the Bình lăng duke's bad have to do with me, Tâm Nhi?"

The servant's eyes flashed with hope.

" Highness, you still remember me?"

Mộ Thanh Thư gently lifted her chin, her cold eyes seemingly piercing through the trembling guy.

"Tâm Nhi, why did you leave my sister like that? Are you not afraid she'll be sad?"

Tâm Nhi, pale with shock, looked at the person before her, her eyes glowing red against the snowy, silent night.

"Please, Princess, spare me... Spare me... Please... I promise I will serve you well... Please, let him go. He is innocent..."

Mộ Thanh Thư smiled gently, her eyes filled with coldness. She couldn't even make decisions for herself, so how could she decide for others?

The cold night grew deeper, the wind chilling Tâm Nhi's body. The old matron beside the Bình Lăng Hầu duke ness raised her chin, slapping her viciously. Her eyes were filled with tears, gazing far away as the nanny scorned her.

"You've brought shame to the Bình Lăng duke's reputation. You have a lot of nerve."

Tâm Nhi shuddered, pleading desperately as if trying to undo everything.

"Please... Please... I will serve you well... Please let my third brother go. We are just brother and sister..."

The matron sneered in disdain, her eyes filled with contempt. The other servants behind her shook their heads, and Tâm Nhi seemed to realize everything. She painfully understood that she was just a pawn in the hands of those who thought of themselves as high and mighty. From the moment she was born, she had been guilty-not of crimes recorded in history, but of a "pity" no one cared to acknowledge. She smiled bitterly...

"Fine, you win. In this life, I have no regrets anymore..."

She knelt, gazing toward A Kỳ Tử Mountain, crying silently as the snowflakes danced around her.

"Father, mother, in this life, Tâm Nhi has paid her debt to you."

With those words, she ended everything herself. The bloodstains stood out on the cold snow, while only the wind sighed mournfully...

As the snow slowly melted, the morning sun gently illuminated the withered pear branches. Bình Lăng Hầu's mansion remained draped in mourning colors, and the affairs of the Bình Lăng duke mansion stayed sealed, beyond the reach of outsiders...

Mộ Thanh Thư glanced at the letter that had been brought to the palace this morning. She elegantly folded it and smiled.

"Liên Tâm, let's bid my sister farewell for the last time."
