Chapter 17 The Cuckolded Prince (7)

On the fourth day of the bet between Muyan and Wanzi,

Jiang Cheng went to Yihonglou and recovered the face he lost in front of the Wen family a hundred times in front of the courtesan.

However, this time, Wen hid the little dowry that was left, and after a night of spring sleep in Jiangcheng, she did not find it when she returned home.

The time agreed with the madam was approaching.

Jiang Cheng had no choice but to ask Wen for it openly. When Wen refused to give it to him, he grabbed her neck and forced her to speak.

In order to save her life, Wen had no choice but to tell him where she hid the money.

On the fifth day, Jiang Cheng took the money and paid it back to the madam.

In the end, Wen's dowry was less than two hundred taels of silver. Jiang Cheng took the silver and walked to the entrance of the casino in a daze.

Thinking of the man's happy look when he held the silver note that day, he felt that he was luckier than him and could definitely win more than him, so he resolutely entered the casino.

When Wanzai saw him enter the casino, he was so angry that he cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations.

Mu Yan listened to him scolding quietly, "You can scold me, but don't forget the bet."

Although Maruzai is a system, it is a system with dignity, but now the little dignity he has left is about to be squeezed out by this big devil.

Wanzai called out reluctantly, "Dad."

"Call me more often, Dad likes to hear it," Mu Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

One cry was the same as shouting, two screams were the same as shouting, Wanzi simply gave it his all, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy..."

Muyan was just having fun when she heard a servant come in to report that Liu asked her to go.

Muyan got up from the couch, straightened her clothes in front of the bronze mirror, put one hand behind her back, straightened her back and walked towards Liu's yard.

As soon as she entered Liu's room, Muyan saw Wen kneeling on the ground crying inconsolably.

Mu Yan pretended to ask the whole story again. After listening, she slapped the table beside her, which scared everyone present.

Liu was even angrier than Muyan. Only those incompetent ruffians and scoundrels would set their sights on their daughter-in-law's dowry.

The son she had watched grow up actually secretly spent his wife's dowry and now he is beating people.

Liu thought it was her own failure. She had not educated Jiang Cheng well, which led to him making this mistake.

It took an hour for the people sent from the palace to bring Jiang Cheng back.

When Liu found out that Jiang Cheng was found in the casino, she was so angry that she fainted.

Muyan ordered someone to take Liu back to her room to rest.

Then he had a bench placed in the yard and took out the horsewhip left by the original owner's father from the ancestral hall.

Jiang Cheng's hands and feet were tied under the bench, and Mu Yan hit Jiang Cheng on the back with the deafening whip in her hand.

To prevent Jiang Cheng from making any noise and disturbing Liu, Mu Yan ordered the servants to stuff sackcloth into his mouth.

Apart from the sound of the whip, the only sound in the yard was Jiang Cheng's "mmmmm" sound.

Mu Yan beat Jiang Cheng with great pleasure, and he had no idea that Jiang Cheng could withstand a few of his whips.

Wen was trembling with fear watching from the side. She wanted to teach Jiang Cheng a lesson, but she didn't want to kill him. She didn't want to be a widow either.

"Brother, please have mercy on me and spare his life," Wen knelt down in front of Muyan, her eyes already red and swollen from crying.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng had fallen silent, Mu Yan stopped whipping him and said, "Come here, take him to the dungeon and find a doctor to see him. Don't let him die."

Jiang Cheng was held up by his arms by servants and sent to the dungeon.

Wen was worried, so she went to the dungeon to see him every day for several days. She only breathed a sigh of relief when Jiang Cheng woke up.

After Jiang Cheng recovered, Liu was afraid that he would go back to gambling, so she found two men with great martial arts skills in the mansion to follow Jiang Cheng to and from work every day.

Jiang Cheng completely lost his freedom, and the resentment accumulated in his heart grew more and more. Gradually, he directed all this resentment towards Wen, who had exposed the matter.

During the day, someone was following him, so he couldn't do anything extreme to relieve the resentment in his heart. But at night, when he went into his room and closed the door, no one would know what he did.

When he was young, he followed a few playboys and went to the Dali Temple to see how criminals were punished.

Jiang Cheng never expected that his childhood curiosity would come in handy today.

Wen was tortured by him every night by stuffing cotton cloth in her mouth. After a few days, she became very haggard.

During the day, Wen was taking a nap in her room when the maid rushed in, woke her up, and told her the rumors she had heard on the street.

"Miss, your son-in-law lied to you. He didn't use your dowry to do business. He spent it all on the most beautiful courtesan in Yihonglou. Everything he said was fake."

Wen's originally confused mind was suddenly awakened by the maid's words.

Jiang Cheng lied to him.

She spent all her dowry on the most popular courtesan in Yihonglou.

Wen wanted to cry, but compared to the torture Jiang Cheng had inflicted on her these days, this little thing didn't seem worth her tears.

When Jiang Cheng came back in the evening, Wen was tortured again and couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, I returned to my parents' home with tired eyes.

Jiang Cheng was sure that she didn't dare to tell anyone about her feelings, so he dared to torture him so unscrupulously every night.

When Wen returned to her parents' home, she tentatively mentioned to her mother that Jiang Cheng had been very cold to her recently, and her mother then lectured her.

Wen no longer had any hope for her mother. She said a few simple words and left the Wen family.

"Sister Wan'er?"

As soon as Wen walked out of the Wen family's gate, she heard a familiar voice calling her from behind. She turned around and looked at the person who spoke.

The man walked towards her happily, "Sister Wan'er, it's really you. I thought I was seeing things."

Wen clenched her fists tightly to prevent the tears from falling.

"Brother Runyu, what a coincidence,"

Lin Runyu was Wen's childhood neighbor. Later, Lin's father was transferred to Jiangbei to take up a post, and the Lin family also moved there. Since then, the two have never met again.

"Sister Wan'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Runyu asked with concern.

Seeing her childhood playmate again, he was handsome, but she looked so miserable. Wen Shi really couldn't tell what had happened to her, so she just said lightly that it was okay.

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk more, Lin Runyu stopped forcing her and changed the subject, "I heard that you got married. Is he good to you?"

Wen thought of Jiang Cheng and shuddered subconsciously. She said goodbye to Lin Runyu and left in a hurry.

After returning to the palace, Wen received letters from Lin Runyu every day. Over time, Lin Runyu became her confidant.

Jiang Cheng was recently promoted to fifth-rank doctor, and he tortured her much less than before.

At this time, compared with Lin Runyu's modest gentleman, Wen Shi felt even more disgusted with Jiang Cheng.

Gradually, the two were no longer satisfied with exchanging letters and began to meet privately. As a single man and a single woman, sparks eventually flew.

After that, he would go to Lin Runyu's outer residence for a secret meeting every few days.

Wanzai looked at the naked man and woman hugging each other in the picture and wondered, "Aren't Jiang Cheng and Wen Shi so in love that they were about to elope? How come they've only been married for less than half a year and they've already grown tired of each other and both cheated on each other?"
