Chapter 2666: Unconventional

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and stop that crazy woman.

" Xuexue shouted angrily. This Miss Sun was so arrogant; not only did she dare to bring explosives into the War Prince’s Mansion to blow her up, but even when the plot was exposed, she dared to commit violence in front of her? Unbelievable.

If the tiger doesn’t roar, do they really take it for a sick cat?

A few guards rushed forward and quickly subdued Miss Sun.

Sitting on the Taishi Chair, Xuexue asked coldly, "Tell me, why did you bring explosives into the War Prince’s Mansion?"

After being wrestled by the guards, Miss Sun’s clothes and hair were all messed up. Moreover, having just drunk two bowls of chili water, her face was flushed, and her image was completely gone, worse than Xuexue. She glared at Xuexue and cursed, "Hmph! Why? Just because I find you displeasing. A village woman like you, how dare you monopolize the Prince? There are so many sisters in the mansion, all hoping for the Prince’s favor! Yet you, you have the audacity to hog him all to yourself. You have plenty while others starve; I just want to blow you up and get justice for the sisters."

Miss Sun acted as if she were delivering justice on behalf of the heavens.

Doing bad deeds while glorifying herself so highly?

Clearly just quibbling.

Does she think that saying this would make Xuexue believe her? Xuexue sneered, "Facing death, and you’re still not honest?"

At this point, Xuexue turned her head to the steward and said, "Steward, bring out the punishment!"

"Yes!"

The steward agreed with a shout, took a few steps back, then returned disheveled, bent over and asked, "Princess Consort, what punishment should be used on Miss Sun? This servant needs to make arrangements."

In the beginning, the steward looked disheveled from the explosion, with torn clothes and messy hair, with no time to clean up. It was embarrassing in front of so many subordinates. However, gradually noticing that the Princess Consort was just as disheveled but still composed, he didn’t care anymore.

If a lady like the Princess Consort doesn’t mind, why should a man like him?

Xuexue knew there were many punishments in the War Prince’s Mansion specifically for dealing with criminals, but she really didn’t know their names, so she asked, "What punishments are there? Tell me, let this Princess Consort consider."

The steward first glanced at the defiant Miss Sun, who immediately started cursing: "Bald donkey, what are you looking at?"

As she cursed, she also spat at the steward.

Though the steward was very angry inside, he couldn’t argue back in front of the Princess Consort. He just raised his arm, wiped the spit off his face, thought for a moment, and then sinisterly said, "Replying to the Princess Consort, suitable punishments for women include the finger crushing torture and needle torture."

Damn Miss Sun, daring to embarrass him in public. He would give her the most severe punishments for her to try.

Xuexue had never heard of these two punishments, so she asked the steward to explain.

The steward glanced at those present; nearly everyone in the War Prince’s Mansion had gathered in the hall.

To intimidate those with evil intentions, the steward began to explain eloquently...

As it turns out, the so-called finger crushing torture involved clamping the fingers. It’s a very cruel punishment, as the fingers are closely connected to the heart. The tool is attached to the person’s ten fingers, and when the ropes on both sides are pulled tight, the person’s hands could either suffer bone fractures or even be crippled, depending on the force used by the punisher.

Since most women in this dynasty have bound feet, this punishment is generally applied to the fingers.

Needle torture, on the other hand, is even more brutal, using needles or other sharp objects directly inserted into the nail beds or other parts of the body. The victim would feel excruciating, heart-piercing pain, unable to live and unable to die.

After hearing the steward’s explanation, everyone was terrified.

Miss Sun laughed arrogantly: "Are you making up a play? Who are you trying to scare? Let me tell you, whatever dirty tricks you have, bring it on, I’m not afraid, ah hahaha...."
