Chapter 2390 I Won't Get Married

Shu Yu didn't linger in the cell. She glanced at Cheng Jiatong, who was crying so hard she was almost fainting, and then left with Kang Shuxian and the other girls.

He Fang watched their backs silently until they completely disappeared around the corner of the prison cell.

When I came out of the prison, it was already late, and the setting sun in the distance was golden.

Kang Shuxian and the others stood at the gate and suddenly hugged each other and burst into tears.

"We're really out, it's okay, it's okay..."

Twice now, they've been brought back to light, once in the black market and this time in prison, both times with the Lady of Wen'an County leading them out.

After the five women had finished crying, Tao Hongdan, the oldest woman present, wiped her face, walked to Shu Yu's side, and curtsied, saying, "Thank you, County Princess, for saving my life."

Shu Yu waved her hand, "You don't need to thank me. There was no problem with your interrogation to begin with. The magistrate said that he planned to release you in the next couple of days. I just happened to come by and took the opportunity to see you and bring you out."

That's what they said, but Tao Hongdan and the others knew that if it weren't for Shu Yu, they would have stayed in jail for several more days.

Even if the authorities want to release people, they won't release them all at once; it's uncertain when it will be their turn.

Perhaps during this time, they might watch as others leave one after another, but they never see them again, and they might break down.

"I still want to thank you. We should be among the first to be released."

Shu Yu didn't deny it. She didn't continue the topic, but instead asked, "What are your plans next?"

She already knew from the officials that the courtyard they were temporarily renting had been sealed off, though it would be unsealed later. However, the landlord certainly wouldn't want to rent to them again; Qingxuan County was so small, and many people probably knew about their situation, making it very difficult for them to survive there.

This is also why Shu Yu came here. The girls have had a tough journey, and since she is here and has the ability, she can't help but take care of them.

Upon hearing Shu Yu's question, Tao Hongdan and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

Having been through so much, they had thought of the same things Shu Yu had thought of.

Especially during this time in prison, things I had previously overlooked became clear to me. For example, the reason they were able to settle down so quickly in Qingxuan County without encountering any trouble was probably because it was the territory of the black market, and He Fang was a member of the black market.

Starting over now, going to an unfamiliar place, is definitely going to be difficult, and it's inevitable to feel a little apprehensive.

After a long pause, Tao Hongdan gritted her teeth and suddenly knelt down. "Princess, may I ask you for a favor?"

Yingxi immediately stopped the person.

Shu Yu said, "Just say it, you don't need to kneel."

Tao Hongdan straightened up, glanced at Kang Shuxian, and then said, "The county magistrate has already helped us a lot. It would be ungrateful of us to trouble her any further. As for the rest of us, we'll see what kind of work we can do in the future; we'll manage to get by. But Shuxian is different from us. We all served customers in the black market, but she's young, hasn't been there long, and hasn't lost her virginity yet. Could the county magistrate help her find a good family..."

Kang Shuxian's eyes widened. "Sister Tao, what are you saying? Didn't we agree that neither of us would get married? I won't get married either."
