Chapter 493: Spending Money to Buy Comfort

Chen Ruolan spoke nonsense without blushing or beating her heart, and finally wiped away her tears.

"Master, I have a miserable life, but I am fortunate to have your mercy on me. Today I will tell you everything. If you despise me, I will not make it difficult for you. Just let me become a nun!"

Qin Shousheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Madam, I've known for a long time that you're not a virgin, but I've never disliked you. Do you know why?"

"Because I look so much like your late wife, I am fortunate enough to have the Master's favor."

"Wrong." Qin Shousheng shook his head. "It's the faint sadness in you that attracted me. You're a beautiful girl, and even though you're smiling, you can't hide the sadness in your eyes. You've softened my heart."

Chen Ruolan was delighted, "Master, so you don't blame me?"

"I'm heartbroken, but I'm not anxious. How could I blame you? Besides, you're a pitiful person. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you." Qin Shousheng sighed regretfully after he finished speaking. "However, your cousin was quite beautiful. It's a pity that she died like this!"

When Chen Ruolan heard this, she rolled her eyes in anger. This old pervert without moral integrity would go crazy when he saw a beautiful woman. Isn't he afraid of being exhausted to death?

She snorted coquettishly, "Is she as pretty as me?"

"No, no, she can't compare to my sweetheart's beauty." Qin Shousheng pinched her round and plump buttocks and said, "This pretty face almost makes me feel like I'm going crazy."

Chen Ruolan smiled shyly, "Master, I have told you everything. You must make the decision for me. You must not let Chen Qingqing go. I want her to die."

"Madam, don't worry. If she falls into our hands, she will have no way out. Just do as we agreed before. You will find someone to take over Chen Qingqing's business and secretly help me. When that master in Kyoto conquers the world, we will be the great heroes. From now on, you can follow me and enjoy the good life!"

"Okay, master, I will take care of these things." Chen Ruolan raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile of success.

She had already planned to return to Nanshan Village in a few days with great fanfare to let everyone see that she, Chen Ruolan, had achieved the level that everyone admired!

The smile on Qin Shousheng's face did not reach his eyes. After investigation by his subordinates, he found that the white sugar sold by Chen Qingqing Sugar Factory was already popular in the Daning Dynasty.

This industry has surpassed the Anyang salt industry. If he controls it, he will be the crown prince's greatest hero...

Anyang County Prison.

As soon as Chen Qingqing was brought to the cell door, a disgusting stench hit her in the face, almost making her fall over.

Just when she was about to vomit, several skinny and tall rats suddenly jumped out from the straw and ran away from under her feet.

She looked calm, not at all frightened by the scene before her, and walked inside calmly.

Xiao Wu wasn't as strong-willed. He felt terrified and blurted out subconsciously, "This place is too scary. It's not a place for people to stay at all."

The jailer snorted impatiently, "Who do you think you are? How dare you be so picky? If you don't want to be beaten, get in now!"

Xiaowu didn't dare to say anything and continued walking inside with his head down.

"Go in!" The jailer pushed Chen Qingqing into a cell.

Xiaowu was locked up next door.

Chen Qingqing looked around. The walls of the cell were covered with mottled mold and spider webs, and messy straw was piled haphazardly on the damp ground.

There was a toilet in the corner, emitting a strange smell of excrement.

Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but frown. If she stayed in here for a night, she would be suffocated to death!

Although the smell was extremely bad, she still found a corner to sit down, closed her eyes, and looked indifferent.

Seeing this, the jailer immediately looked at her with admiration.

When he learned that she was the female doctor of Qingshui Town, his eyes lit up.

"Miss Chen, do you want me to notify your family and ask them to come over and take care of things? Just as a token of my appreciation, that way you can have an easier time in here."

Chen Qingqing smiled faintly, "Tell me, how do you do it as a token of your appreciation?"

The jailer narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Of course the more silver you give, the more comfortable the girl will live in here."

Money? The last thing she lacked was money. Who would want to suffer when they could live comfortably?

Chen Qingqing's mind moved, and a bag of silver appeared in her hand. Then she smiled softly.

"What kind of room can I get for this money?"

The jailer's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it and weighed it in his hand. It was a full twenty taels of silver.

His heart was pounding with excitement. Oh my god, no wonder his left eyelid was twitching so much this morning. He actually met such a rich guy today.

He lost his previous fierceness and was so happy that his teeth were showing.

"With this money, you can live in a good cell." The jailer put the silver into his pocket and said with a flattering look on his face, "Miss, please follow me."

"Okay, bring this guy with me." Chen Qingqing pointed at Xiaowu next door, "I don't lack money."

"Okay, things will be easier if you have money." The jailer hurriedly released Xiaowu from the cell.

The two followed the jailer to the door of another cell.

Chen Qingqing couldn't help but look disgusted. Although this cell didn't smell musty, the floor was still paved with rotten straw and there was a toilet in the corner.

The jailer saw disgust in her expression and quickly explained with a smile.

"Miss Chen, although this room may seem simple, it is a thousand times better than other rooms. At least there are no rats.

You don't know, the rats in this cell are terrible, they often eat the prisoners in the middle of the night.

I'm not trying to scare you. I know three prisoners were bitten to death by rats with their necks broken. But this room will never be bitten.

To be honest, not everyone can afford to live in this cell. Only someone as generous as Miss Chen can enjoy it."

Chen Qingqing didn't want to waste time talking to him, so she handed him another banknote and said, "Here's fifty taels of silver. Give us another room."

The jailer saw this and his eyes almost popped out of his head. Oh my god! Is this a dream?

Fifty taels of silver at once, you can’t earn that much money even if you work as a jailer for a lifetime!

He nodded and bowed, and really wanted to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Chen Qingqing.

"You are so polite, young lady. I feel really embarrassed."

As he said this, he hurriedly took the banknote with both hands, and then said,

"To be honest, Miss Chen, I have the greatest privilege to arrange a room like this, but don't worry,

Although people in our industry are greedy, we make a living from this and we also value the word "righteousness".

Since we have received the money, we must do the work. I don't have the authority, but we, the prison boss Sun, have the right.

Every industry has its own rules, and even small people cannot cross the line."

"In that case, go and call your person in charge."

"Okay, Miss Chen, please wait a moment. I'll go get our jailer Sun right away."

The jailer seemed to have forgotten his job and walked out with his tail between his legs like a dog...
