Su Yulan, who already disliked her, was unwilling to accept it for nothing and retaliated like a shrew.

Seeing her daughter being bullied, Su Rong'an raised the hairpin again.

"I'm going to kill you all, kill you all!"

Su Ronghui immediately stepped forward and hugged her arm tightly.

All the grief and despair in his heart seemed to finally be ignited with strength because of Su Yulan's resistance.

Throughout the cell, withered grass flew everywhere, and screams filled the air.

The guards outside all sneered and shook their heads.

"What noble ladies from the capital, county princesses and noblewomen? Once they become prisoners, what kind of nonsense about etiquette do they have? They're no different from shrewish women in the market."

"Who would have thought that a prince as powerful as Su Weichuan, with such influence in the court, would be connected to the remnants of the Sui Dynasty? Have you heard? He carried a coffin to the palace. Everyone thought he was plotting a rebellion, but it turns out he was going to resurrect a corpse. It's terrifying."

"How come I haven't heard about it? The corpse was a very beautiful woman. It's true that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. This dead beauty could make our Great Zhou's king, who was not of the same surname, disregard the lives of his family and do such a rebellious thing. Do you think the beauties of the Great Sui all possess sorcery?"

The group was chatting happily.

Suddenly, a deep female voice shouted.

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived! Why are you not kneeling to welcome her?"

It was the head maidservant beside Su Rongqing, who was reprimanding her with a cold face.

Standing behind her was Su Rongqing, who was wearing a white cloak.

The yamen runners hurriedly stood up and bowed.

There was little respect on his face.

The jailer, with a grin, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Why did Your Highness come to such a dirty and smelly place as the prison? Don't soil your feet."

"Enough with the nonsense. Her Highness the Imperial Concubine has come here for a reason. Lead the way to where the Su family is being held!"

The words of the head aunt had no effect whatsoever.

The jailer straightened up, a look of disdain on his face.

"The Su family are serious criminals, and the Imperial Concubine has a special status. I advise you not to go."

"presumptuous!"

The head maid was about to scold again, but Su Rongqing raised her hand to stop her, her face under the brim of her hat as pale as paper.

"Brother jailer, please do me a favor."

She took out a few silver notes from her sleeve and handed them over.

The jailer opened it and saw that there was nearly a thousand taels of silver.

He immediately put on a fawning smile.

"Sure, sure, but the higher-ups are strict, so you can only go in alone."

The head maid glared at her angrily.

Su Rongqing raised her hand again to stop her from saying what she wanted to say.

"Alright, things are different now. You can wait here."
