Madam Wang held her tea as she listened to her wet nurse talk about that damn assassin failing his mission, losing ten thousand taels of silver, and for a moment, her mind went blank.
"Ma-Madam?" Nanny Wei called out in a trembling voice.
"Failed?" Madam Wang raised her eyes towards her, "Ten thousand taels of silver gone?"
Nanny Wei swallowed her saliva and said, "That's right."
Bang.
Madam Wang forcefully smashed the porcelain teacup in her hand onto the floor, tea leaves and water splattering everywhere. She glared at Nanny Wei, her eyes brimming with malice, "Ten thousand taels spent, and you're telling me he failed? Just killing two women and he failed?"
Impossible, such a renowned assassin couldn't kill two women, impossible, people would laugh if they heard. What kind of assassin is this? He might as well go be a sissy.
