Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 516: Chapter 517: It’s Your Own Fault for Offending Someone Wang Xiangxiang sat inside the carriage feeling optimistic, pondering over how to make the upcoming new product launch vibrant and colorful when suddenly, the carriage lurched unstably, causing her head to bump against the door.

The ensuing cries of the horses startled Wang Xiangxiang, leaving her wondering what was happening as she quickly steadied herself in her seat, preventing herself from falling.

Seeing this, the coachman acted quickly, grabbing the reins with all his might, continuously and loudly shouting, ”Whoa, whoa...”

It was only then that the horses calmed down, and the carriage came to a steady halt.

The coachman immediately came over to check, ”Miss, are you alright?”

Wang Xiangxiang stepped out of the carriage, ”I’m fine. What on earth happened up ahead? Why did the horses suddenly get spooked?”

”Miss, a tree suddenly fell down in front, landing right in the middle of the road, startling the horses.”

Wang Xiangxiang walked forward with suspicion. It wasn’t windy or rainy, so why would a tree suddenly fall?

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the tree had been cut down by someone. She suddenly shivered, ”No good, get back on the carriage and turn around.”

This was clearly a deliberate act, intended to stop the carriage. She started to grow nervous, wondering who was after her.

Upon hearing his mistress’ voice, the coachman hurried back to the carriage.

But before he could reach the horses, he was seized by someone. The coachman shouted loudly, ”Miss, run!”

Hearing the shout, Wang Xiangxiang turned back and saw several fierce thugs approaching her.

Frightened, she bolted, but she had only run a few steps before the thugs caught her.

”Who are you? Why are you kidnapping me?” Wang Xiangxiang tried to remain calm, eager to understand their motives.

One of the thugs, who seemed to be the leader, spoke with a sinister tone, ”You only have yourself to blame for offending someone.”

”...” Wang Xiangxiang, who had always conducted her business openly and honorably, couldn’t fathom whom she might have offended.

”Please tell me, who have I offended?”

”You don’t need to know that.”

Held by two of the thugs, Wang Xiangxiang contemplated how to escape. Judging by their demeanor, these were nothing but uneducated hooligans; perhaps she could solve the situation with money, ”Do you know who I am? If you release me, I will give you Silver.”

At these words, the thugs halted in their tracks and all turned in unison to their leader, ”Big Brother.”

”What are you all thinking? The person who hired us is merciless. We just need to teach her a lesson, let’s take her away,” the leader dismissed the idea without a second thought.

Wang Xiangxiang felt her heart sink, if they wouldn’t take Silver, how could she escape? It was daytime, and there were bound to be passersby on the road. She had only one option left, to shout, ”Help, save me...”

But quickly, the thug holding her covered her mouth, ”This girl is quite fiery, keep quiet!”

Wang Xiangxiang opened her mouth wide and bit down hard on the hand of the man covering her mouth.

”Ah!” The thug let go from the bite, then slapped Wang Xiangxiang, ”You dare to bite me? You want to bite again, huh?”

Wang Xiangxiang’s face stung painfully from the slap, swelling up immediately.

Seeing his mistress being beaten, the coachman struggled to break free, but he was held down firmly, helplessly yelling, ”Miss, Miss.”

Upon hearing the coachman’s cries, the thug holding him down slapped his face several times without hesitation, ”Shut up if you know what’s good for you.”

The impatient leader commanded, ”Gag their mouths.”
