Wife is hell

Chapter 16 The Widow Tang's Impotent Fury

Jiang Mu had a terrible headache, an unbearable headache.

He had indeed anticipated that the spiritual entity within Tang Jinxian's body had not been completely expelled, and that it might have some impact on the woman in the future.

But unexpectedly, the other party pulled this stunt.

They went straight home.

"It seems I underestimated the female taming ring. How can this thing be completely eradicated?"

Jiang Mu scratched his head, trying hard to recall.

I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Fragmented memories are like knives; the more you think about them, the more painful they become.

Seeing her "master's" pained expression, Tang Jinxian leaned closer and rubbed her delicate face against him. Her breath was warm and fragrant, carrying a hint of sweetness, which aroused a slight tickle.

If anyone else had seen this, they would have been absolutely stunned.

After all, Tang Jinxian was the head of the Yancheng Patrol Office, a position of considerable importance. Yet, at this moment, she was acting like a little pet, wagging her tail and fawning over a lowly yamen runner, displaying an intimate demeanor.

"Forget it, let's use the same method as last time."

Jiang Mu pushed away the woman who was clinging to him, got up, went outside the yard, and found another brick that he could handle.

He took out a dagger and gently cut his fingertip.

Then, using his fingers as a brush, he drew talismans on the brick surface with the blood.

Tang Jinxian obediently squatted to the side, tilting her head, her charming almond-shaped eyes curiously watching his movements.

However, as she saw the blood-red talisman gradually taking shape on the brick, she seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and subconsciously curled up and moved further back.

She barked softly at Jiang Mu, her eyes filled with grievance and fear.

"You still know fear?"

Jiang Mu's expression was strange. "It seems that the brick he hit last time has left a psychological scar."

He beckoned to the other person: "Come here."

The beautiful woman looked at the brick in his hand, but instead of stepping forward, she shrank back.

Hey, you're being disobedient.

Jiang Mu's face turned cold, and his voice became much harsher: "Come here!"

The beautiful woman let out a pitiful sob, but ultimately crawled over. She even tilted her head back and licked Jiang Mu's chin in a fawning manner, her actions a mixture of instinctive fear and ingratiation.

"I'm trying to save you. Just bear with it, it will pass soon."

Jiang Mu breathed on the brick.

He aimed at the other person's smooth forehead and swung it without hesitation.

They ended up shooting at nothing.

The other person had already dodged behind the table, gripping the edge with both hands, revealing only a beautiful, snow-white face. She crouched down and bared her teeth at Jiang Mu.

He had a fierce yet wary look on his face.

Jiang Mu: "..."

He tried to put on a gentle face and coaxed softly, "Come here, sweetie, I won't hit you anymore."

Tang Jinxian remained unmoved, still clinging to the edge of the table, her eyes wary.

Jiang Mu, carrying a brick, tried to approach.

Like a startled rabbit, the other person darted to the other corner of the room in a flash.

Jiang Mu was completely speechless.

Now it's difficult.

In my memory, the only way to solve this problem was to use a brick or a hard object, draw a talisman on it, and smash it down hard.

What should we do now?

After racking his brains but unable to come up with any other solution, Jiang Mu angrily threw down the brick in his hand and simply lay back down on the bed.
"Whatever, I've done it once before, I should wake up on my own in two hours at most. Whatever!"

Seeing her master suddenly lie down to sleep, the beautiful woman blinked her almond-shaped eyes, looking somewhat hesitant.

She glanced at the bricks on the floor, then at Jiang Mu on the bed, tentatively crawled two steps closer to the bed, then cautiously withdrew one step.

After repeating this several times, seeing that the other party really had no intention of picking up a weapon again, he felt a little relieved and mustered up his courage to kick the brick into the corner of the room.

"Woof~~"

After doing all this, Tang Jinxian climbed into bed and nestled into the man's arms.

Perhaps because he had been running all the way and had sweated a lot, a strong body fragrance mixed with the dampness of sweat wafted out from his succulent collar, making Jiang Mu take a few more sniffs.

"Alas, what a tragedy... Once you regain your senses, you might really take a knife and kill me."

Jiang Mu's headache continued.

After all, just the day before, this woman had come to his house, forcefully trying to control him.

In the blink of an eye, it has transformed into this clingy little pet.

Such a dramatic change would probably drive any proud and arrogant person to the brink of collapse and madness.

"Let me make this clear first: I didn't touch you at all, so you won't come after me when you're sober."

Jiang Mu raised both arms above his head, preemptively saying, "You were the one who came to me on your own initiative. I was trying to bring you to your senses, but you didn't want to. You can't blame me for that."

He remembered that the woman retained her memory after regaining consciousness.

We must not let her catch us doing anything wrong.

"Woo~~"

Seemingly finding Jiang Mu's body exceptionally warm and comfortable, the woman snuggled closer, letting out a lazy hum.

Jiang Mu grinned.

After all, he's just a perfectly normal man.

With such a beautiful woman in his arms, possessing both stunning looks and an exceptional figure, it would be a lie to say he didn't have any romantic thoughts.

The only way is to forcibly divert attention to avoid turning into a beast.

……

Time slowly slipped away amidst the torment.

Once quiet, Tang Jinxian nestled in the man's arms, her almond-shaped eyes half-closed, brimming with alluring charm. Her breathing gradually became even and long, and she slowly drifted off to sleep.

Jiang Mu tried to sneak up and retrieve the brick.

As soon as she moved, he unconsciously hugged her tightly, and she even opened her teeth and bit his sleeve, letting out a dissatisfied whimper.

With no other option, Jiang Mu could only give up completely and sigh to the heavens.

"Luckily, I don't sleep naked."

Jiang Mu said self-deprecatingly.

However, his deduction was correct.

About two hours later, the sky outside the window gradually turned a pale white.

Tang Jinxian's delicate body in his arms suddenly trembled slightly.

The strange pattern on her lower abdomen faded away quietly, and the alluring and innocent look in her eyes also quickly disappeared.

The taming mark finally subsided temporarily.

As the woman fully regained consciousness, she saw Jiang Mu's handsome, helpless face. And she herself was curled up against him like a little pet.

"Om-"

Blood rushed to my head instantly. My blood pressure spiked.

Tang Jinxian's cheeks, earlobes, and even neck quickly flushed a rosy hue, like the sunset.

This is not shyness.

Rather, it was extreme shame and rage!
She sprang from Jiang Mu's arms like a spring.

The movement was so violent that he rolled off the bed and staggered several steps before barely managing to stand up.

"Wood! River!"

She practically squeezed those two words out through clenched teeth.

The beautiful woman suddenly reached out and grabbed the iron ruler from beside the pillow, pointing the sharp tip at Jiang Mu, who was sitting up on the bed.

Memories kept flooding her mind, driving the woman to the brink of madness.

"What have you done, you bastard!?"

Jiang Mu remained unusually calm despite the iron ruler pointed directly at his throat; he even had the leisure to rub his arm, which had gone numb from being pressed down.

He looked up at Tang Jinxian, who seemed to want to devour him whole, his tone utterly innocent:
"Manager Tang, let's be honest, from last night until now, have I laid a single hair on your head? Have I? Have I taken advantage of you in your vulnerable state? Have I?"

Tang Jinxian's pretty face flushed red and then turned pale.

"But you-"

"But what about me?"

"you--"

"What am I?"

Tang Jinxian blushed and was speechless for a moment.

In fact, the other party did not take any initiative to violate them; in fact, all I remember is that I was the one who initiated the contact…

And they wouldn't let the other party remove the taming seal.

But the problem is...

I just feel so frustrated!

Jiang Mu continued:

"Let alone touching you, I don't even have any feelings for you. If you don't believe me, think about it carefully. Don't you think I despise you? I even hit you with a brick."

I have absolutely no interest in you, what are you afraid of? There's really no need."

I'm not in the mood... I find it disgusting... I'm not interested...

For some reason, these words of comfort sounded like tiny knives stabbing into Tang Jinxian's heart.

An unnamed anger suddenly surged up.

The more it burns, the more prosperous it becomes!

Am I, Tang Jinxian, ugly? Or do I have a terrible figure?

Does she have absolutely no feminine charm?

Are you a man?
It has to be said that women's minds are sometimes so contradictory and unpredictable; they fear being taken advantage of, yet are also annoyed that the other person completely ignores their attractiveness.

Tang Jinxian's expression suddenly turned strange, and her gaze unconsciously swept downwards towards a certain spot, filled with suspicion:
"Mu Jiang, you wouldn't... be impotent, would you?"

No?

Jiang Mu was stunned for a moment, but when he realized what the other party meant, he immediately became angry.

This is simply the most vicious slander against a man's dignity!
Jiang Mu laughed in anger:

"Oh, so I have to do something to you to prove I'm 'capable'? Has that magical thing burned your brain? What kind of bizarre logic is that!"

Tang Jinxian was speechless for a moment after being confronted.

Jiang Mu became increasingly angry as he spoke:

"You don't thank me, a true gentleman, and you even doubt me? You're really biting the hand that feeds you."

"Who are you calling a dog?!"

Tang Jinxian sensitively caught the word and instantly flew into a rage, raising the iron ruler again, filled with shame and indignation.

Now, let alone hearing the word "dog," it triggers an agitation.

She would slap a dog twice if she saw it on the street.

"Whoever agrees, that's who we'll talk about."

"You are presumptuous!"

Tang Jinxian was so angry that her eyebrows shot up, and she pushed the iron ruler forward another half step.

"Kill me, you're an unreasonable woman anyway. Killing me might set you free."

Jiang Mu lay back on the bed, fearless.

Tang Jinxian was burning with anger, her front hem heaving.

It looked as if it was about to tear the fabric.

Seeing that it was getting light outside the window, and realizing that she might be discovered if she stayed any longer, she stomped her foot and threw the iron ruler on the ground.

The beautiful woman's eyes were red and swollen.

She forced back her tears, wanting to say something but only moving her pink lips without uttering a sound.

I straightened my clothes and prepared to leave.

"and many more."

Jiang Mu called out to her.

Tang Jinxian stopped in her tracks, turned around fiercely and glared at him: "What else do you want!?"

Jiang Mu stood up, handed over the paper on the table containing the case analysis and suspect deductions, and his expression returned to seriousness:
"This is what I compiled last night: clues and deductions about the murderer. I believe the murderer is most likely Mrs. Wu's son, Wu. And his cousin, Yan Qingshan, is very likely the left-handed accomplice."

Yanqing Mountain!
Tang Jinxian was startled, took the paper, and quickly began to browse through it.

Her expression gradually changed from shame and indignation to solemnity.

After reading it, Tang Jinxian raised her head and said in a deep voice, "I also went to monitor Yan Qingshan last night, and this guy is indeed very suspicious."

She also briefly recounted how she had followed Yan Qingshan the previous night and discovered the mysterious lame man.

"Could there be accomplices?"

Jiang Mu frowned.

Tang Jinxian shook her head:

“I don’t know, but since you’ve already determined that Wu is the mastermind, I’ll arrest him and interrogate him first. Even if his mother is a fifth-rank lady, it won’t stop the patrol office from handling the case.”

As for Yan Qingshan, he was a confidant of the previous governor of Yancheng, who has now been transferred to the capital and holds a high position of power. Without evidence, it's indeed not easy to take action against him.

"It's alright, as long as we capture Wu, we have plenty of ways to make him talk!"

Looking at the sharp, ruthless look in the woman's eyes, Jiang Mu shivered, wondering if this woman was planning to vent her anger on Wu.

If that's the case, then we can only mourn for Wu.

"Chief Tang, the murderer has been identified, so I—"

"We'll be inspecting the government offices later!"

Tang Jinxian left the room after saying those words.

"Hehe, I'm not going."
