In a courtyard, a woman in white hurriedly entered, quickly shutting the gate behind her. Another woman in white, clutching a wound on her left chest, emerged from inside and asked her.
"I found out, that female healer can truly cure Suri’s poison. She started the treatment today."
The woman informed her leader.
Upon hearing her report, the white-clad leader raised her empty hand and angrily struck it against a pillar.
The next moment, as she pulled at the wound on her chest, she winced in pain, her face turning deathly pale.
"Leader, be careful, you are still injured." The woman immediately reminded her.
The hand of the white-clad leader fell limply, and she took a deep breath.
"Go get ready, I need to report to our master," she instructed the woman.
The woman was shocked upon hearing this.
"Leader, you must not do this, how can we contact the master? If he finds out we previously attempted to assassinate Suyang, he will definitely not spare us, and now..."
Was the leader really considering presenting herself to him?
The white-clad leader glared at her with displeasure.
She might have been marginalized and assigned to gather intelligence from outside, but it didn’t mean she had no chance to prove herself. As soon as the opportunity arose, she could return to the master’s side.
Wasn’t now the perfect opportunity? If she could report the situation with the female healer to the master, he would surely be pleased. Then, she could return to his side.
"Aren’t you going to prepare quickly?"
Although reluctant, the woman had no choice but to comply and prepare to leave.
Elsewhere, having endured enough of Suri’s ghostly screams, Lin Caisang couldn’t help but stretch out her hand to tug at her tortured ears.
"This fellow, doesn’t he get tired? He’s so full of energy, a true product of the National Teacher’s estate." Watching Suri, who could only stick his head out of the large wooden barrel, Lin Caisang muttered under her breath.
A person nurtured by the National Teacher’s vast array of tonics and nutrients was truly different. After some time, he was still able to curse and swear.
"Sister-in-law, are we going to keep waiting here?" Sui Ziyou, too, could no longer bear Suri’s cursing and asked.
Lin Caisang stood up.
Seeing that Lin Caisang was about to leave, the steward Xin almost immediately sprinted over.
"Miss, can my young master come out now?" he asked.
He had never seen his young master tormented to this extent; those bloodshot eyes seemed as if they were about to spew fire. It was evident how agonizing this steaming ordeal must be.
He felt that if this continued, not only Lin Caisang and another person but also all the servants in the estate would bear the grudge of Suri. He feared that their deaths would be terrible indeed.
Lin Caisang, hearing his words, merely tilted her head slightly, glanced at Suri, then turned her gaze back to steward Xin.
"We’re just getting started. I see Young Master Su is still quite energetic, able to shout and scream. Let’s do this, while he can still bear it, let’s steam him for two more hours today. Besides, it hasn’t been eight hours yet. Take it slow."
Steam him for two more hours? How could that be alright.
