"Enter!" At this moment, Xia Sizhu was being led to a dilapidated prison cell. Once they reached the cell, a guard led her to a cell and locked the door.
He looked around at the dilapidated walls. The bed was made up of a pile of hay and a straw mat. There was also a musty smell. This made Xia Sizhu's originally happy mood instantly darken.
This is the wealthiest place in the entire Southern Hill Country, so at least this prison cell should be of a higher grade. It's so old and worn out, and the emperor must have thrown all his money in the water to repair it!
If she had known earlier that this place was so dilapidated, she would have run halfway. Xia Sizhu sat down and sighed as she looked at the dilapidated prison cell.
"Time to eat!" A prison guard brought a small bowl of rice with a few vegetables and leaves to Xia Sizhu.
Xia Sizhu didn't even raise her eyes as she directly ignored him. She didn't even need to look at him to smell the rancid smell. No matter what dish he ordered, if it was rancid, he definitely couldn't eat it.
"Not eating? When you're hungry, you'll eat. " After he finished speaking, he swept his gaze across Xia Sizhu from side to side. It was daytime now, so it wasn't convenient to do anything. Wait until nightfall …
When he finally left, he reluctantly swept a glance at Xia Sizhu's delicate body before leaving with an evil smile.
The moment the prison warden turned around, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Xia Si Zhu's eyes before he closed them to rest.
The cell became even more eerie as night fell.
"Mistress, isn't that Lady Xia's maid? What is a girl coming here so late at night for? " Ling Feng pointed at Ling'er, who was standing outside the cell.
He had also seen Ling'er before and was able to tell her true identity with a single glance.
"This girl is probably worried about Miss Xia sneaking out." Ling Feng guessed, after all, there was no other reason for a girl to come out so late at night besides sneaking out.
She had been acting very normal all day until Aunt Liu thought she had thought of something. When she let her guard down, she had sneaked out, but found out that she could not enter the prison, but unfortunately, she forgot to bring any money. Otherwise, maybe she would have bribed the guards before letting her in.
"Bring her." Dong Fang Ye said as he looked at Ling'er who was walking around outside the cell. With that, he disappeared.
"Master!" Just as Ling Feng wanted to shout, he thought that this was the entrance to the prison. If he shouted, he would alarm the guards, causing him to become silent.
Just as he appeared in front of Ling'er, his entire body was filled with resentment, causing Ling'er to be surprised. Just as she wanted to turn around, she felt a pain in her neck, and then she fainted. Ling Feng picked up Ling'er and chased after Dongfang Ye.
Ling Feng carried Ling'er and walked towards the door of the prison. He discovered that Dongfang Ye was standing at the entrance of the prison, and beside him was a group of prison guards.
"Mistress, you're so fast!" Ling Feng looked at the pile of jailers who were lying on the ground and wondered if their master had become gentle. Why doesn't it look like it was abused?
"I didn't do it." Dongfang Ye coldly said, and looked straight ahead.
"Who did it?" Ling Feng's face was full of suspicion. Could it be someone from the prison had done that? Congratulations to Ling Feng, you've guessed correctly, but there's no prize.
"Let's go in and take a look." After saying that, Dongfang Ye walked away.
"Sigh …" Master, wait for me. " Ling Feng rushed forward with Ling'er in his arms.
Ten minutes before Dongfang Ye arrived, Xia Sizhu slowly opened her eyes and took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve. She opened the bottle's lid, and after a while, she put away the bottle and pulled out the hairpin. She walked to the door, picked up the iron lock, squatted down, and inserted the hairpin into the keyhole.
Kacha, kacha! The lock opened.
Xia Sizhu complacently picked up the lock and threw it to the side. She opened the cell door and confidently walked out. Looking at the dazed jailers, she smiled.
"Little scum, with these useless and tattered bags of food and wine, can you lock me up?" For a moment, Xia Sizhu was somewhat pleased with herself as she hummed a song. She swaggered as she prepared to leave the prison cell in search of food.
Suddenly, the singing stopped. Xia Sizhu, who was about to go out and look for a meal, bumped into the oncoming Dongfang Ye. Xia Sizhu looked at Dongfang Ye and Ling Feng, as well as the woman who was being carried by Lingfeng.
Ling Feng looked at Xia Sizhu, who was in the cell, flabbergasted.
Dongfang Ye looked at the prison wardens lying on the ground. He didn't seem surprised at all. He knew that people like Xia Sizhu wouldn't be bullied while they were in their cells. The floor was filled with evidence of their crimes.
"Why are you guys here?" Xia Sizhu returned to her senses and asked Dongfang Ye.
"Ling Feng!" Dongfang Ye didn't return to Xia Sizhu, but only indifferently glanced at Ling Feng.
"Miss Xia, this is your servant girl. When Master and I came over, we found her wandering around the entrance alone, so we brought her over. Please advise her, this cell is not the place for her to stay." After saying that, he put Ling'er down.
"Ling'er, wake up!" Which one of you knocked her out? " Xia Si Zhu asked as he woke Ling'er up. When his sharp eyes looked at Ling Feng, his scalp went numb.
Ling Feng looked towards Dongfang Ye, hoping that he could protect him, but instead got an expression from him that said Dongfang Ye would solve the problem himself, and instantly, he castrated him.
"It was me. At that time, she was near the prison. I was afraid she would shout and knock her out." Ling Feng was suspicious. Did this grandpa know that Xia Sizhu would settle the score so he let him be the scapegoat?
Dongfang Ye looked at Ling Feng and understood the doubt in his eyes. He raised his eyebrows, 'I was doing this on purpose …'
Ling Feng understood the emotions expressed in Dongfang Ye's eyes and silently lowered his head. "You are the boss, so I can't do anything about it."
Xia Sizhu looked at Ling Feng and narrowed her eyes dangerously. "You dare to bully Ling'er? Just you wait."
Faced with the threat in Xia Sizhu's eyes, Ling Feng's cheeks streamed with tears. What had he done wrong? He wanted to cry for doing this to him.
At this moment, the Ling'er in Xia Si Zhu's embrace showed signs of awakening. Xia Si Zhu lowered his head and saw Ling'er's eyes slowly opening. First, his face was filled with confusion, then, it was filled with surprise and joy.
"Miss, are you alright? Did they do anything to you? " Ling'er's face was full of concern. After speaking, she still wanted to check if Xia Sizhu was injured.
"Alright, Ling'er, I'm fine." Xia Sizhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Ling'er, who was randomly stroking her body. Was this considered taking advantage of her? If it was a man, she would have long since left him to his own devices.
Dongfang Ye's aura gradually turned cold, and Ling'er felt it. She looked in the direction she came from and saw the two men standing there.
"Your servant greets Night King." Upon discovering that it was Dongfang Ye, Ling'er hurriedly bowed.
"Get up." Ling'er nervously looked at Xia Sizhu. She didn't know why the Night King would appear here.
"Night King, I want to talk to Ling'er. Can I trouble you to leave?" Xia Sizhu looked at the two oversized light bulbs and unhappily urged them to leave.
Dongfang Ye faintly glanced at Xia Sizhu before turning around to sit on a stool at the side under Xia Sizhu's joyful gaze. He looked as if he wasn't going to leave, as if what could you possibly do?
