"Aaargghh!!!" A screaming voice and shattering gla.s.ses was the only dominant sound that could be heard from Mo Qin Yi and Zhao Tianqi"s courtyard."Qin Yi I will never scheme against you!" Zhao Tianqi was sprawling on the floor with tattered dress. Her initial beauty and her elegance dress couldn"t be seen anymore.
Now, her face was covered with streaming tears and scrunched in pain that she had to bear.
The two grannies, who always following her everywhere, were screaming in the same amount of pain from the beaten on their back. Both of them were lying flat with face downward on the wooden bench while a man hit their bottom. It was so unbearable for their old body.
"Qin Yi! You have to stop this!" Zhao Tianqi screamed in frustration. However no matter how hard she was screaming there wouldn"t be anyone who would come for her help.
Their courtyard was very big with tall wall surrounding it and all of the servants and guards there were Mo Qin Yi"s people while Zhao Tianqi"s personal guards and maidservant had been locked up in another room.
No one could save her now or stepped out to look for help.
While Mo Qin Yi was sitting comfortable on the couch elegantly, looking down on the woman on his feet who had been crying her eyes out and looked so miserable.
He flicked his finger toward the man behind Zhao Tianqi, with that another lash fell on Zhao Tianqi"s fair skin, split them open with gushing blood.
The executor was careful enough to not lashed on her face, it would be impossible to conceal if he did that, moreover Mo Qin Yi still wanted to preserve his image, hence there was no way he would let other people knew that he torture his own wife.
Zhao Tianqi bit down her lips again and curled herself into a ball, trying to protect herself with empty attempt. She whimpered and kept saying that she did know nothing about that scheme. She needed to stay with her story or else the punishment that she received would be more dire than this, especially when her personal guards started to open his mouth and spilled all the evil things that he had done under her order.
"Still lying?" Mo Qin Yi gave her a mocking smile and let the executor to canning her three more times.
When she had received all the lashes, the more damage part of her body was her legs, her slim legs were bleeding scarily and beyond recognition, she wondered if she would be cripple after this.
"I am not lying…" Zhao Tianqi cried pitifully.
Mo Qin Yi frowned deepened.
Was that even possible that she was telling the truth? He has known Zhao Tianqi for three years by now, it was only natural that he also knew how scheming this woman could be.
They were married because of the wealthy of Zhao"s family. It was said that the Zhao has an a.s.set that even could match the imperial family and wasn"t a mere wealthy family that they could trample with.
Fortunately for Mo Qin Yi, he met with Zhao Tianqi, the younger missus from the main branch family, who was the easiest woman to handle among her sisters. However, sometime her stupidity and narrowed mindedness gave him a headache.
Since they were married, tonight was the first time he tortured her to this extent. Before, a slap or two would be sufficient enough to discipline her, but her action to use his name and lied to tell him the truth couldn"t be tolerable anymore.
Her persistence to keep lying was something that irritated Mo Qin Yi the most.
"Do you really think that I will believe you? How do you think I will believe you?" Mo Qin Yi raised her chin ruthlessly, forcing her to look at him right in the eyes. "Do you want me to believe the story that there was someone else who gave an order to your personal guard? And tricked you and me?"
That was exactly what Zhao Tianqi wanted Mo Qin Yi to think about. She was indeed so easy to read and pathetic.
"That is the truth." Zhao Tianqi was delusional until she believed her own lie. But, Mo Qin Yi knew her better than that and he adored her persistence and stubbornness.
"He was hand picked personally by your own father, his loyalty is lied on you. Do you really think there is amount of money that could buy that guy?" The Zhao was very rich, they could double up every offer, hence money wasn"t an option.
"You will regret what you have done to me now." Zhao Tianqi didn"t bother to cry and beg for mercy anymore, it was this man that had hurt her greatly. When she was in her family no one even dare to raise their voice when they were talking to her, not to mention hit her badly.
It was another humiliation and she couldn"t accept it!
If it wasn"t because the status of Crown Princess, she wouldn"t marry him in the first place, or the right word to put it, she would marry anyone that could offer her to be the future Empress.
She was greedy and arrogant, to be an Empress would suit her taste. But, now her heart was filled with hatred and she wouldn"t be satisfied before she could tear Mo Qin Yi"s face with her bare hand.
Without Mo Qin Yi realized it, he had created the worse enemy, who would bring him down to nothing.
Zhao Tianqi glared at her, the dreadful pain that she suffered all over her body turned her mind even more awake than before.
"Do you think I will spare your life?" Another mocking tone spat on her face. "Not even your family will know about this, because from today onward this room will be your world and you will meet no one."
"Do you really think you can lock me for the rest of my life?!" Zhao Tianqi knew Mo Qin Yi wouldn"t be able to do that, people would start to ask questions if they didn"t see her for long time.
"Not for the rest of your life, but until you understand that you will never ever be able to outsmart me. You are useless without the status that I gave to you!" Mo Qin Yi"s lips curled into a derisive smile when he looked down on her.
Zhao Tianqi didn"t retort at his word, but the burning hatred in her eyes spoke volume. She kept her eyes locked on him as if she could kill him by only staring dagger at him.
Suddenly, there was an urgent knocks on the door and someone stepped inside.
He was one of the prisoner guards, one could recognize him from the uniform that he was wearing, it was black and blue.
He knelt before Mo Qin Yi and couldn"t help, but stole a peek at Zhao Tianqi, he was shock but recovered quickly.
"What is it?" Mo Qin Yi asked icily.
"This servant wanted to report, there was someone who barged inside the dungeon and saved the a.s.sa.s.sin." He reported it hastily.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
