An Yang was shocked beyond belief, but her mother’s lips curled into a smile, "For the rest of your life, don’t even think about it."
An Yang suddenly stood up, but the ropes cut into her flesh, causing unbearable pain!
As her face twisted with pain, the door swung open again. This ti, it was none other than Ruan Mian and Xie Huai’an who entered.
At this mont, An Yang’s mother politely said, "Miss Ruan, thanks to you, I finally got what I wanted!"
An Yang looked at Ruan Mian with a mixture of urgency and confusion. Although she was dressed as a woman, the features... imdiately reminded her that this was the doctor who knocked her out that day!!
It was her!!!
She had once thought that the doctor from that day was a coward. Sooner or later, she would go to the clinic to confront Doctor Lin and make him hand over the disrespectful doctor to teach a lesson.
But now, she stood together with her mother, watching her joke...
Thinking of Doctor Lin, An Yang suddenly realized, her eyes widened with realization and she began to tremble.
"It was you... you all conspired from the beginning?! This is your setup!!"
Seeing that she had figured it out, Ruan Mian calmly confessed.
"If you had even a little kindness, you wouldn’t have fallen into our trap."
"That doctor in the clinic, I just gave him a small amount of Silver Coin and he sold you out without hesitation. Young Madam, in the future, you should be more careful when judging people."
"You! Who exactly are you people!!"
Ruan Mian rembered Qin Sang, who had been tortured beyond recognition, and suddenly took out a flint, bringing it close to her face.
"No, don’t kill . I can give you whatever you want!"
She shivered, her body trembling like a sieve.
Ruan Mian gave a slight smile, "Kill you? If I killed you, wouldn’t Lady Qin’s and my cousin’s suffering be in vain?"
She slightly tilted her hand, and the fla instantly ignited her hair, rising swiftly! Just like Qin Sang’s painful cries that day, all she could hear were her piercing screams.
That black hair bun instantly turned into a wisp of black smoke as she scread in agony with her disfigured face.
Ruan Mian, without hesitation, took out a dagger, pinched her chin, and with a swift motion, sliced off half of her tongue. Blood flooded her mouth...
The two people behind showed a hint of emotion, but Ruan Mian remained unfazed and stood up.
She wiped the blood from the dagger and looked at the woman.
"After torturing your daughter like this, do you feel soft-hearted?"
The woman clenched her fists, her face impassive, and simply handed the delicate copper key she was holding to Ruan Mian.
"Miss Ruan, the day you ca to , I had already made up my mind. So there are so things I need to tell you..."
Ruan Mian glanced at the key and asked in confusion, "Madam might as well speak frankly."
Actually, the reason she was able to find An Yang’s birth mother and have her assist was because Xie Huai’an had visited the mansion that day, witnessing with his own eyes the murderous intent An Yang’s mother had towards her. She hesitated at the bedside with a dagger but eventually withdrew it.
It was clear that there must be so story between An Yang and her mother.
So after saving her cousin and his wife that day, she deliberately left traces to lead Jiang Dao to the side chamber. The next day, she went to the clinic, bribed Doctor Lin, and lured An Yang to the chamber, staging a scene of catching in the act.
After leaving the clinic, she sought out An Yang’s mother and made a deal with her.
She enlisted the woman’s help, keeping Ruan Mian inford at all tis, while Ruan Mian fulfilled the woman’s wish to watch An Yang pay the price with her own eyes.
For years, the woman harbored an imnse hatred toward this daughter, having the chance to kill her, but she wasn’t content with letting An Yang just die.
To let her die so easily wouldn’t appease her heart’s hatred!
So she patiently waited for the opportunity, the opportunity to see An Yang suffer.
Back in the day, An Yang had disregarded this mother, murdering her own sister and her uncle, who were also the woman’s family mbers.
The woman understood that An Yang’s kindness towards her over the years wasn’t due to deep mother-daughter bonds, but because she had ulterior motives.
She wanted the key she held!
Even though she was her mother, the woman wasn’t willing to admit she birthed a monster.
She was a demon, a venomous woman! All of this now was deserved retribution!
The woman caressed the key, telling Ruan Mian, "This is the private treasury of my family. Seeing your abilities, Miss, I have another request."
"The City Lord of Tunan City once frad my father-in-law, killed my wife, and hard my daughter. He also forcibly occupied virtuous citizens, leading to give birth to such a venomous woman, An Yang, and caused harm to another of my kind daughters and my family mbers."
"Now that An Yang has been punished, the City Lord is no good person either. Can you teach him a lesson for ?"
"If I can live to see him die a wrongful death, I could die with my eyes closed. I’m willing to give you my family’s private treasury unconditionally."
Seeing Ruan Mian remain silent, the woman continued.
"I know you might have reservations, unsure if my words are true. If you find out I deceived you, you can end anyti! My life is worthless, I’m only hanging on to see An Yang’s family receive their couppance."
"If you still don’t believe , I won’t force you..."
Seeing this, Ruan Mian simply said, "If you have a private treasury, why endure alone? You have many opportunities to use those Silver Coins to achieve your goals."
She smiled mockingly, bitterly, "This venomous woman, An Yang, gave an addictive poison. If I go without it for a while, I’ll suffer unbearable pain, only waiting for death. Moreover, the treasury is far away, and I can’t even leave the city, with no one to help ."
"Now... I don’t have much ti left anyway."
So that’s how it was.
On one hand, her actions were restricted, controlled by poison, and for the treasury, An Yang couldn’t take it by force, so she pretended to be a filial daughter.
And the woman looked for a way out for herself, pretending to be mad and foolish over the years to prevent harm from the City Lord and survive.
Ruan Mian didn’t take the key, simply saying, "The City Lord’s evil deeds will naturally be recompensed."
And Jiang Dao.
Ruan Mian glanced at Xie Huai’an, and the two left together in agreent.
It was already evening, and as night fell, Xie Huai’an took her to the rooftop of a high mansion.
Their figures were half-illuminated, half-covered, standing under a flourishing tree, gazing at the sunset horizon. Ruan Mian curiously glanced at him.
Her eyebrows slightly moved, "Sir, is there nothing you want to ask ?"
Xie Huai’an gently smiled and asked in return, "What do you think I should ask you?"
She kept him in the dark about bribing the doctor at the clinic, negotiating with An Yang’s mother privately, rescuing Jiang Zhen’s couple alone, and intentionally leaving traces to set the trap.
Just now, in front of him, she rcilessly burned An Yang’s hair and cut off her tongue without breaking a sweat.
If it were an ordinary person, they would certainly have countless questions.
But he asked nothing.
"For example, when I cut off An Yang’s tongue, didn’t you think I was cruel?"
