Princess General Yang S2
Episode 3

"Young Lady, please leave one person for interrogation."

It turned out that it was Ti Chi who had come forward to head off Qing Xia's dagger. He didn't want everyone to die because he still had to investigate the mastermind behind the assassins targeting the Han family's horse carriage.

"Ckkkp... It's free, he won't give you the right information either."

Ti Chi walked towards the dagger's fall, he picked up the dagger then returned it to Qing Xia.

Qing Xia felt a little annoyed at not being able to take the last life of the herd of assassins intent on killing her and her mother-in-law. His face looked cold with anger visible in both of the look in his eyes.

Since his task was done, Qing Xia walked back into the horse carriage. After getting inside the horse carriage, Se Se greeted Qing Xia with a million-sense smile that gave Qing Xia goosebumps.

"I... Mother.." called her hesitant as she slightly goosebumps looking at the smile from the mother-in-law that was unreadable.

"Is there nothing you want to tell me about your past?" se Se asked as he stared intently at Qing Xia's eyes.

Qing Xia gulped her saliva, she felt nervous because the question from Se Se made her think that her Mother-in-law could already guess who she was in the past.

"Bright..." Se Se let out a long breath. He patted the chair beside him then said to Qing Xia.

"Sit here, there are some things you want to ask."

Hearing the sentence from Se made Qing Xia's nervousness grow.

"Wine! What do you want to ask me?" he thought as he stared at the chair where Se Se patted his palm.

Qing Xia walked slowly then sat down beside the chair, she then looked at her Mother-in-law's face with a feeling of uneasiness and anxiety.

"Don't be afraid, just answer honestly. I won't mind your past working as an assassin" Se Se Se blatantly said if she knew the work Qing Xia had done in her previous life.

"How did you know that?" qing Xia asked with an increasingly pale-white face.

Se Se clasped Qing Xia's hand, he then gently looked into her daughter-in-law's eyes.

"Qing Xia, don't worry about your past. I will try to understand everything without thinking badly of your current life. I also have a past, and I'm sure if everyone has one, bad memories we'd like to forget."

Qing Xia took in her breath which she had been holding back from feeling nervous.

"Mother, actually... I used to be a hit man." Qing Xia said bluntly.

"Why did you become a murderer?" ask Se Se curiously.

Qing Xia was initially hesitant to tell her past, but since Se Se had already asked, she was forced to tell her about her life period filled with cruelty.

"I live like a kara. One day, someone came to me. He said he would provide good food and a comfortable place to stay if he followed her to the orphanage. Because my life was difficult and always hungry, I accepted his offer. Apparently, I was taken to a killer's lair. There are many children who are trained to be hired killers. From then on, my mission was to kill only the designated targets."

Qing Xia glanced at Se Se's unreadable face. She could not guess what her mother-in-law was thinking after hearing the story about Qing Xia's past life.

"Mother must be afraid of having a daughter-in-law who is a murderer. Mother must be disappointed to have accepted me as part of their family." Qing Xia thought.

Se Se suddenly hugged Qing Xia, making the woman aghast with enlarged eyes.

Se Se patted Qing Xia's shoulder gently. The two women shed tears together. Se Se cried because her heart ached when imagining Qing Xia's past life being so heavy, while Qing Xia felt touched by the words spoken by her Mother-in-law.

Qing Xia really did not expect that her Mother-in-law would say that. Words that comforted and cheered Qing Xia's past and future sincerely.

"What good have I done in the past to the point that I was given this kind of mother-in-law?" qing Xia asked inwardly.

After a while, Se Se released his embrace. He took out a handkerchief to clean up the blood splashes that were stuck on Qing Xia's face and hands.

"Qing Xia, never show this ability of yours in front of others. Those with malicious intentions will use it as an excuse to bring you down. You have to remember how your father was slandered 4 years ago, they also used the same excuse. Too great and extraordinary can also invite mala pekaka."

Qing Xia nodded, she understood what her mother-in-law was afraid of.

"I'm really careless, it's a good thing that Mom reminds me" he thought to himself.

Ti Chi tied up the remaining living man in a large tree, which was, he then opened one by one the face coverings and clothes of the murderers who were lying on the floor to look for traces of evidence that could reveal who was behind this murder plot.

"Ckkkp... Really neat job. They didn't leave any traces on the bodies of these assassins" said Ti Chi who clucked in annoyance at not getting any leads.

Ti Chi approached the large tree where the killer was tied up. He then sat in front of her.

"Who sent you to kill Madam?" ti Chi asked with a roaring face.

"Curtain, just kill me. I will never betray my master." said the man with an arrogant face.

"Is that so? I will have fun first before killing you." Ti Chi threatened while removing the poisonous scorpion from inside a box.

"Ma... What do you want?" asked the man with a panicked face.

"You think?" sahut Ti Chi sneered cunningly towards the assassin.

Ti Chi placed the scorpion near the killer.

"Kill me! Quickly kill me!" his screams grew increasingly panicked as the scorpion began to rise above his arm.

"Aaaaakh...."

The screams of pain began when the scorpion started its sting on the killer's skin. He shouted loudly while grimacing in pain.

"I'll tell you, please get rid of this insect. Quickly remove!" shouted the man again with a face that started turning blue.

The poison began to spread throughout his body, creating pain and burning in all the skin as well as organs in the body. Normal humans must have a hard time withstanding that pain so they would choose death or surrender sooner.

Ti Chi kept back his pet scorpion. He asked the murderous man again.

"Say, who's the guy?"
