*Warning: the previous chapter, this chapter, and the next chapter are not suitable for children below the age of 13. Also, Nan Xin's actions will make many of you uncomfortable, so you can skip the chapter if you don't really want to know. It's another action that challenges one's bottom line and morality (>.<). Please don't think of it as something normal people will do. This story is completely fiction. Readers' discretion is necessary.*

Back then, she wanted to teach her daughter that one had to be ready to do anything in this harsh world.

Even if it might sound cruel or anything, they had to be able to do it if it was the only price for their survival.

"Yes, do you have an idea?"

"Mhm."

Nan Xin turned to look at her mother and smiled sweetly. Her face still looked quite horrible because of the scars, but dimples formed on her cheek when she was smiling. It made her look like a sweet girl.

In this dark and damp room, her appearance seemed to be inconsistent with her surrounding. The place looked gloomy, yet she was still smiling and laughing as if there was nothing wrong.

She looked like she was still the young miss.

And not the prisoner who was about to be sentenced.

"Let's get out of here, Mother."

"How?" Concubine Mei's eyes shone.

"It's really easy."

Nan Xin walked towards the nearby table. There was a candle stick with the candle stationed there. She silently removed the candle and looked at the sharp end of the candle stick. It was made to be sharp in order to make sure that the candle would be able to hold onto the stick.

This was a rather old design, but Nan Shu Cheng had one. The reason was simply because he found the design rather interesting, even though it was useless. However, Nan Xin picked it up for another reason.

This was the old room that hadn't been used for so many years. When Nan Xin saw that candlestick, she knew that the guards must be using it for convenience's sake because they were too lazy to find others from other residences.

Anyway, they would only be staying in this room for one night.

No one cared about them.

Nan Xin looked at the swaying fire on the candlestick in front of her as her smile turned wider, yet her eyes turned colder.

"Nan Xin?" Concubine Mei was confused when she saw her daughter walk toward the table and hold the stick.

Thunk!

The candle in Nan Xin's hand was dropped to the ground. With the building made out of wood, it easily caught fire. She looked at the fire with a smiling face as if it was not dangerous at all and instead something fun for children.

"KYaaaaaaaaaaaa! Fire!" Concubine Mei screamed in panic.

She looked at her daughter with reproach because she felt that Nan Xin was going crazy. But with the sudden change of treatment that occurred for the past few days, who among them could actually stay sane?

However, she didn't want to die yet.

Nan Xin watched as her mother rushed over, trying to stop the fire from spreading. She moved to the side, watching everything calmly. Her hand picked up the candlestick and there was a ruthless and determined glint within her eyes.

When her mother was close, she plunged the candle stick in her hand toward her mother's neck.

Stab!

"Nan Xin, you…." Concubine Mei's eyes widened in disbelief when she was about to ask about the fire.

She was about to ask when she saw her daughter stabbing the candlestick toward her neck, preventing her from screaming and yelling any longer.

Blood splattered on the ground.

Nan Xin's eyes were cold as she watched her own mother fall to the ground while the fire spread. She could hear the people outside were frantically trying to stop the fire by fetching water.

Her hands were trembling because of the action that she had done, but she herself had already told herself that this was the only possible for her to escape from this place. There was no other option.

If she wanted to survive, she had to be ready to do anything.

That was what her mother always told her.

Nan Xin knew that if she stayed here any longer, she would end up either being killed, exiled, or even sold to others. She didn't want to experience any of that, so she had to escape from here.

And Nan Family's Residence was a place she was familiar with.
