13 Shes Not Faking It?! (2/2)

Swinging his sleeves, he turned and left, ”You better be ready to explain everything to me tomorrow.”

The General nodded eagerly. The Third Prince took one last final glimpse at Hongyue and left.

”Call the doctor 'only' after he 'carefully' finishes checking on my wife.” The General commanded the servant. The servant nodded and left to pass the order to the doctor.

Lan'er was frightened, this man was heartless. The servant had just announced her mother was fine. Why was he making the doctor recheck her mother? He was delaying time. Blood traveled down her dress as her nails dug deeper into her palms. She couldn't sense the pain at all as her heartache painfully. What should she do now? She nodded to her father and started for her residence. Walking unsteadily with her eyes fueled with hatred.

The servant hurried up to the General out of breath.

”The madam is now throwing a fit! No one can soothe her down!”

”What about the doctor? Where is he? Is he not performing his responsibility?”

The servant quaked in fear.

”No my lord, he's dead. The madam killed him in her crazed fit. What do we do?”

”Bring me to her!”

Appearing on the scene, the General tried to apprehend his mind. There was furniture flung around to bits. Dead bodies of unlucky servants littered the ground. A dead doctor could be spotted propped against the pillar nearby, blood trickled down his mouth. The General frowned.

”My love, you don't have to continue pretending now. The Crown Prince hadn't found about the spy. You have to remind your father to lay low.”

The General scowled, just like her mother even if that trash is useless she still managed to bring trouble. He was beginning to wonder if it there someone manipulating the whole circumstance since his spy servant wouldn't act rashly yet somehow that eldest 'normal' saw something. The general frowned, what if there indeed was a spy in his manor? He had used it as an excuse to throw the Crown Prince off, but he didn't think there would be a real rat in his estate. The General looked back his lover, panic was starting to cloud his eyes.

”Mei'er, my love, you can stop.”

The concubine abruptly looked up and reacted to the loud voice. She was completely insane. All she could see was red. All she wanted was to kill. She lunged forward to suffocate him.

With his throat caged in Concubine Mei's hands, the General fought as he looked into her bloodshot eyes. Ripping off her hands, the General finally realized that she wasn't playing pretend. He backed up, trying to find his footing. She was truly insane. His voice was caught in his throat as he stumbled back trying to hold on to anything.

Concubine Mei had a strange, crazed look in her eyes. Seeing her empty hands caused a slight ripple in her heart. No! She needed to kill. No matter who it was, she needed to destroy them. She looked up at the General and suddenly lurched forward and grabbed him.

”SERVANTS!! THE MADAM IS INSANE!! COME QUICK! HELP!!” The general bellowed.
