Chapter 186 At this moment, several candles lit up in the darkness.

The servants and managers were afraid of being affected by the anger, so they rushed out, leaving Jiang Dao alone in the warehouse, roaring helplessly in frustration.

At the same time, Ruan Mian and Xie Huaian had already gone out, leaving only the mute girl in the inn.

She was temporarily placed here. Ruan Mian originally planned to return all the things belonging to them in Tuji Mansion to their original owners after dealing with Jiang Dao, and then she could go home.

Unexpectedly, he was dragged out of the house by two burly men, knocked unconscious with a slap, and taken to a dark place.

The foul smell penetrated into her body through every pore.

The mute girl gradually woke up from her daze. When she saw the dampness and darkness around her, her whole body tensed up and she struggled subconsciously.

But he had no choice but to let his body be tied tightly with strong hemp ropes, leaving him no room for resistance.

Just then, several candles lit up in the darkness.

A figure swayed and twisted his body as he walked in front of her.

When the mute girl saw that it was Jiang Dao’s wife, Anyang, who had tortured her in the past, she immediately curled up in fear!

My body couldn't help but tremble.

Anyang slowly walked up to her and held the candle close to her face.

The flame burned slowly just beneath her hair. Seeing the mute girl trembling with fear, Anyang sneered happily, his eyes narrowed slightly, full of sarcasm.

"Do you really think anyone can save you?"

"When I tortured you, if you hadn't resisted, nothing would have happened. But you insisted on touching my face. Look, there are scratches under my ears from your nails, and they haven't healed yet."

"But it's such a shame about your face. Why would you burn yourself for no reason?"

Anyang pretended to feel distressed and gently stroked his cheek. The mute girl was so scared that tears came to her eyes. She shook her head fiercely, looking at her pleadingly, trying to get her to show mercy.

But she pretended not to see it, raised her hand and moved the candle to her hair, and the flame instantly burned her hair! The flame rose!

A burning smell came, and the mute girl struggled frantically and miserably.

Anyang looked at her opening her mouth in pain and her hair being burned in an instant, and smiled with satisfaction.

After throwing away the candle, she took a basin of hot water and poured it over him.

The pain of her skin being torn was worse than death for the mute girl, and her tongue was also pulled out, so she couldn't even scream.

I could only try my best to utter some hoarse sounds.

A hint of impatience flashed in Anyang's eyes. She wiped her hands with the handkerchief handed to her by the maid, then turned around, walked to the other side and lit the candle.

I didn't expect that there was another person tied up here.

His hamstrings were severed and his hands were tied, forcing him to stand.

However, my hamstrings are not strong enough and my feet cannot bear the weight of my body. If I relax for a moment, my whole body will feel like it is being pricked by needles and the pain is unbearable.

The man was thin and haggard, and he watched helplessly as Anyang tortured the mute girl.

But his mouth was blocked and he couldn't make any sound. He could only open his scarlet eyes and stare at Anyang fiercely.

Anyang threw the handkerchief she used to wipe her hands in his face without taking it seriously.

"Jiang Zhen, oh no, I should call you brother."

"Look at the lady you once loved and held in your arms. What has become of her now?"

"Your beauty is gone, and your dignity is gone. If you hadn't given up my noble status as the city lord's daughter for her, I wouldn't be holding a grudge against you until now."

Having said this, Anyang's face suddenly darkened, and hatred flashed in his dark eyes!

"How I loved you back then! I have a good family background and good looks. The whole of Tunan City thinks we are a perfect match. Even my father doesn't mind that you are a foreigner and come from a merchant family."

"I'm willing to help you with your business and take care of everything you need, even though we've been together for a long time. But you're so ungrateful that you refuse to accept it?"

She sneered, her face full of sarcasm. "He even married such a lowly woman, a woman who had just escaped slavery?! How can I, the daughter of the lord of the city, not compare to her?!"

"Jiang Zhen, at this point, whether you're really angry with me or just trying to get rid of me, it doesn't matter anymore."

"I swore on the day you got married that no matter what, I would make you pay the price!"

So when she learned that Jiang Dao was also here for Jiang Zhen's property, she approached Jiang Dao and took everything from Jiang Zhen.

Seeing the men and women who had kept her awake in the past now reduced to such a state in her hands, she was naturally very proud and happy.

He even tore off the rag covering Jiang Zhen's mouth and forcefully kissed him on the mouth.

But Jiang Zhen bit through her lower lip fiercely: "Aren't you afraid that your poor mother will be disappointed in you? If she knew that the daughter she loved so dearly had become such a half-human ghost..."

"shut up!"

Anyang slapped him, pinched Jiang Zhen's chin and said, "It's not your place to tell me what to do with my mother."

"In front of my mother, I will always be the well-behaved daughter who makes her proud."

After saying this, he took the thorny whip and threw it in front of the servant behind him: "Serve me well."

After going out, he did not forget to put the vicious dog into the mute girl's cell.

…

She came to the courtyard with a satisfied look on her face, planning to have a good rest, but she unexpectedly saw Jiang Dao running mad in the yard in a panic.

He smashed everything he could see, leaving the ground in a mess.

He was still shouting that he wanted to go find the goods, and no one dared to come forward.

Upon hearing this, Anyang adjusted her hairpin without any concern and tenderly took his arm to comfort him.

"Daolang, it's just that the goods were lost. At worst, we can find someone to make another batch."

"You don't understand! How could those fine porcelains be made so quickly? Besides, my father-in-law is coming to pick them up soon, and Prince Hu Shi has been in Guancheng for several days."

"Oh, I will definitely talk to my father about this for you. He won't blame you."

Jiang Dao was about to speak when he suddenly noticed her broken lip and frowned: "How did this happen?"

Anyang touched her lips and said aggrievedly, "Isn't it all because of you? You caused the wound, but now you don't admit your guilt? You wicked husband!"

Jiang Dao couldn't remember when he bit her lip?

When he was confused, the servant came over in a panic: "Sir, the city lord is here, let's..."

"What?"

Jiang Dao's heart tightened, and he quickly held Anyang's hand for help.

However, the next moment, without waiting for Anyang to speak, the pot-bellied city lord kicked Jiang Dao in the face with perfect precision.

"You're such an idiot! You've lost something so important in the mansion? What use are you to me?"

"Father-in-law! Father-in-law, please calm down!"

"That thief was incredibly skilled. Look at my mansion. There are so many people here, and there are even guards around the warehouse. There were twenty loads of fine porcelain in there, and I don't know how that thief managed to steal it!"
