Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

The man in white robes trembled with fear at Meng Tong's imposing aura.

He took two steps back, then, emboldened by his master's power, pointed a finger at the woman's forehead and said, "This is the capital, right under the Emperor's nose! How dare you kill a guard from Nanling? Let me tell you, you can't escape. Tomorrow... uh."

In the blink of an eye, the long knife was embedded in the man's neck. He stared at the woman with wide eyes in disbelief, his raised hand slowly falling down, and then he lay back down.

A look of astonishment flashed across Maya's beautiful, deep eyes behind her, and she instinctively reached out and grabbed the hem of the man's clothes beside her.

"Martha, kill her quickly."

The man named Marta met Meng Tong's gaze. In fact, he had already made his move, but he never expected that he would make a mistake.

The woman's long sword flew over with an unstoppable force; Marta's methods were utterly insignificant in front of her.

Marta's deep, dark eyes were fixed on the woman a few meters away, her tense features as if she were suppressing something.

Seeing that it was getting late, and having walked around outside, Meng Tong was really tired.

Shaking her slightly sore arms, Meng Tong walked past a man and a woman without even glancing at them.

Marya instinctively tightened her grip on Marta's arm. The woman looked at Meng Tong with anger and resentment, but she also knew clearly that she was no match for her.

Marta's unusual behavior infuriated Marya. The moment Meng Tong entered the room and closed the door, the woman shook off the man's arm, looked up, and demanded, "Why didn't you kill her? She killed one of our Nanling guards! The Khan clearly instructed you to do so..."

"Shut up."

The man gave Maria a warning look and said sternly, "Behave yourself, or don't blame me for being ruthless if you ruin the Khan's plans."

"She's not someone either of us can afford to mess with."

"How could you destroy yourself..."

"Snapped."

Extremely resentful, Maya wanted to argue with him, but the man slapped her hard across the face and then went downstairs expressionlessly.

Soon after, a few people came up and cleaned up the body on the floor.

Standing in the corridor, Maria's veil was knocked off, revealing a bright red handprint on her fair and delicate face, and half of her cheek was swollen and red.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Marya clenched her fists and looked incredulously at the place where Marta had left.

She had never been hit by anyone in her life, not even by the Great Khan.

The girl's anger was fully ignited, and she immediately turned to look at Meng Tong's room.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and a chilling murderous intent flashed in the girl's eyes.

……

inside the room.

Meng Tong was fully aware of everything happening outside, including Marta hiring people to investigate her and Malya preparing to curse her inside the house.

Meng Tong initially disdained to believe in the curse, but upon seeing the familiar earthenware jar in her room, she recalled what Lu Chuan had mentioned about Wei Lian.

It turns out they were the ones causing trouble.

Lying on the bed waiting for the waiter to bring water, Meng Tong used his supernatural abilities to enter Maya's room.

The woman was muttering in an unintelligible language, and her right wrist was cut and bleeding profusely.

As blood dripped into the earthenware jar, Meng Tong used his supernatural abilities to see that inside was a skull.

Because of being soaked in blood for a long time, the white bones had a dark red hue, with a thick layer of blood solidified on the surface and a small portion of uncongealed blood remaining at the bottom.

Seeing the ruthlessness in her eyes, Meng Tong knew that the curse must be very vicious.

Cursing her is fine, but usually, such things involve her family. Meng Tong's bottom line is her family and children.

As the supernatural power in his hand gradually increased, Meng Tong tried to attach a kind of toxin from the space to it.

This is a poison that can cause a slow death. It will cause the poisoned person's entire body to gradually decay and rot until only an empty shell remains.

A woman like her probably cares most about her appearance, and Meng Tong's greatest love is destroying what others care about most.

The toxin attached to her supernatural ability was silently injected into Maya's body. Unaware of this, she squatted in a corner chanting the most vicious curse in the world, unaware that retribution was manifesting in her body.

The toxins entered her body and quickly began to attack her young organs. She felt a little dizzy, but Maria thought she was just tired.

She persisted and recited the curse twice more before finally lying down on the bed.

When a woman enters the beautiful dream she has woven, her skin begins to age and wrinkle rapidly, and her bodily functions begin to malfunction.

Meng Tong will not let her die now, at least not after she leaves the capital.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Meng Tong went to sleep fully clothed.

She has to get up early tomorrow to buy pigs! She doesn't have time to chat with them.

……

The next day.

As soon as it was dawn, Meng Tong got up and ordered hot water to wash up.

The neighborhood has been quiet since last night, except for the occasional sound of someone walking across the roof.

Whether they came to investigate her or were from next door, Meng Tong pretended not to know anything as long as they didn't come in.

She changed into a clean, light pink jacket, and put on a matching cloak. The woman tied up her jet-black hair.

She was beautiful and aloof with a touch of coquettishness; you'd never guess she'd single-handedly defeated so many people last night.

After getting ready, Meng Tong prepared to go downstairs to get something to eat, but as soon as she opened and closed the door, a hoarse cry came from the room at the end of the corridor.

He sounds like he's in his seventies or eighties.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Meng Tong walked towards the stairwell without making a sound. As he passed by Maria's room, the woman heard wailing.

With a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth and a refreshed look, Meng Tong went downstairs, ate a quick breakfast on the first floor, and then left.

As Meng Tong walked toward the city gate where they had agreed to meet the previous night, he looked up at the gloomy sky.

Thick, dark clouds hung in the air, creating a suffocating atmosphere. The woman instinctively rubbed her cold fingers together as she walked toward the city gate.

The shopkeeper selling braised food was named Zhang Qiang. He had called a horse-drawn carriage early in the morning and was waiting at the city gate.

Upon seeing Meng Tong, he grinned and walked towards her, saying, "Miss, you've arrived. It's cold, so I specially called a carriage. If you don't mind, please hop on for a ride. I've prepared some dried meat, dried fruit, and a hand warmer for you. The journey will take about an hour."

"Manager Zhang, you're too kind. I won't refuse."

"Hey! Don't be so polite, come on, take it easy!"

Meng Tong was warmly welcomed into the carriage, while Zhang Qiang drove from the carriage shaft.

The weather was particularly bad in the morning; it had started snowing. Meng Tong picked up the hand warmer from the table and held it in her hand.

She ate dried meat and drank tea, and didn't suffer much along the way.

Once the snowflakes started falling, there was no set time for it to stop. By the time Meng Tong arrived at Zhang Qiang's estate, the snow had already fallen heavily.
