Chapter 40 Going to the Prison

Seeing Xiaohong swallowed the poison, Jiang Nanyuan was very satisfied. No, she continued to stay in their room.

She left their room and headed straight for the Second Prince's residence.

When she arrived at the Second Prince's mansion, she was surprised to find that there were many more guards in his mansion, especially outside his storehouse, which was not only heavily guarded, but also had more than a dozen secret guards guarding in the dark.

The corners of Jiang Nanyuan's mouth twitched involuntarily. It seemed that the last time everything in his house was stolen had left him with a psychological trauma.

This time, so many people were sent to guard outside the warehouse, but what can they do even so?

Jiang Nanyuan didn't take these people seriously at all.

She took out a bag of medicine powder from the space, quickly flew towards their direction, and sprinkled the powder in the air. She was not afraid of being exposed.

After making sure that the powder was inhaled by all of them, she snapped her fingers, and then those people's eyes became dazed and their minds became confused in an instant.

It was during this time that Jiang Nanyuan easily sneaked into the warehouse again. She put all the things in the warehouse into the space.

Not only that, she also moved all the stones in the space and placed them where the box was originally placed.

Then she cast an illusion, and the stones instantly turned into what they were when Jiang Nanyuan came here.

This time, Xiao Yujing must have taken these things very seriously and would probably come to take a look at them every day.

This illusion can last for a month and will return to its original state after a month.

After doing all this, Jiang Nanyuan walked out of the warehouse easily and snapped his fingers again.

Then he used his spiritual power to send out a voice, "You saw nothing, heard nothing."

This voice reached the ears of the guards and secret guards standing outside.

When Jiang Nanyuan left the Second Prince's Mansion, these people just came back to their senses.

They felt a little pain in their heads, as if something had just happened, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't remember what it was.

Jiang Nanyuan quickly left the Second Prince's Mansion and returned to the inn. Unable to sleep at night, she simply entered the space to practice.

She practiced in the space for an entire night and came out at dawn.

Today she planned to take Lin Zhixue to the prison to check out the situation and see if they could spend some money to allow them to visit the people in the Duke's Mansion.

But she was not in a hurry. In the morning, she disguised herself into another appearance and went to sell the shops in the capital.

The locations of those shops in the capital were all pretty good, so Jiang Nanyuan offered them all to Fang Nu at a price slightly lower than the market price.

Anyway, she is not short of money now, she just wants to sell these shops. The less money she gets, the better.

It's better than letting Liu Shuang and the others get a bargain.

The house slave saw that the shops she wanted to sell were all good shops with excellent locations and the prices were so low.

He accepted the commission and happily worked hard to promote her shops.

After dealing with this matter, Jiang Nanyuan went to the restaurant to pack some food, and then went to the pastry shop to buy some pastries.

He carried two food boxes into the dark, removed the disguise on his face, then returned to the inn and knocked on Lin Zhixue's door.

Jiang Nanyuan saw her open the door and handed her one of the food boxes. "Mom, let's go to the prison and check the situation."

One day, Lin Zhixue was very excited when she was about to go to the prison.

The two of them, each carrying a food box, walked towards the prison. When they arrived at the prison gate, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the prison gate.

"Big brother, we would like to come and see the master and mistress of the Duke's Mansion. Could you please be flexible? We can just go over and have a few words and then leave."

Jiang Nanyuan walked forward with a smile and stuffed two silver ingots into each of their hands.

These two silver ingots weigh exactly fifty taels.

She had already inquired about it. If she wanted to go in and see an ordinary prisoner, it would only cost a few taels of silver. For prisoners of an important level like Lin Zhaoye, it would be enough.

Silver needs more.

The two officers and soldiers guarding the door were shocked to see the two men being so generous and giving them two silver ingots.

Even for a prisoner like Lin Zhaoye, they would only receive twenty or thirty taels at most.

However, since the two people in front of them were willing to give so much silver, there was no reason for them to refuse.

In consideration of the silver, their attitudes became much better. "Madam, this Duke is a serious criminal of the court. We can only give you one hour to talk. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Jiang Nanyuan and Lin Zhixue were delighted to see the two of them give in.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Master Guan."

Jiang Nanyuan and Lin Zhixue thanked him and followed one of the officers into the prison.

As soon as you enter the prison, you will find it dark and damp, and from time to time you can see a few rats running around in the prison.

As soon as they walked in, many prisoners even lay at the cell door and stretched their hands towards them, shouting that they were innocent.

This was the first time Lin Zhixue had seen such a scene. She was a little scared and held Jiang Nanyuan's hand tightly.

The two followed the officers and soldiers to the innermost cell, then walked forward and unlocked the door of one of the cells.

"They are all inside. We only have one hour. Go in quickly. I will call you when the time is up."

Jiang Nanyuan and Lin Zhixue nodded, and after the officers and soldiers left, the two of them walked into the cell.

Lin Zhaoye and Xu heard the sound of the door opening, and they looked up at the prison door at the same time. The first person to come in was Jiang Nanyuan.

They had only seen Jiang Nanyuan when she was a child, and now that she had grown up, they didn't recognize her at all.

Just when they were wondering who she was, they saw Lin Zhixue coming in from behind, and they both widened their eyes at the same time.

"Xue'er, is that you? Wuuuuu, is that my Xue'er?"

The moment Xu saw Lin Zhixue, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

She simply couldn't believe that Lin Zhixue would appear here.

A few years ago, Jiang Nanfeng suddenly came to tell them that Lin Zhixue had died of a serious illness.

The old couple was heartbroken and really thought she was dead. Now when they saw Lin Zhixue, they even suspected that they had seen it wrong because of their old eyesight.

It was not until Xu walked up to Lin Zhixue and hugged her, feeling her body temperature, that she could not help crying out loud.

Lin Zhixue couldn't help crying, and Lin Zhaoye's eyes were also red.

Jiang Nanyuan took a look inside the cell. In addition to the two of them, there were four or five women and children imprisoned in the cell, and one of the women had a bulging belly.

She is pregnant. Looking at how big her belly is, she is probably about to give birth.

Jiang Nanyuan felt that these women looked familiar, as if she had seen them before when she visited the Duke's Mansion.

"Mom, please stop crying. Let's talk about it quickly. We only have one hour."

Jiang Nanyuan saw Xu and Lin Zhixue hugging each other and crying, so she walked over and gently patted Lin Zhixue on the back.

They hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. Although she knew that Lin Zhixue must be very excited, they came here with something important to ask.
