“She went to Duobao Pavilion to find you first. I told her you were at Fulai Inn, and she came here. Brother Hu told me to follow her and come back to tell you!” Bai Yu said, pointing at Jiang San Niang.

Bai Nuo then looked at Jiang Qiao'er and asked softly, "What's going on? Why did you look for me?"

"It's all because of Yu Ziqing," Jiang Qiao'er said helplessly. How could her older sister be so muddle-headed?

Jiang San Niang became even more agitated at the mention of Yu Ziqing, grabbing Bai Nuo's arm and crying out, "Nuonuo, I beg you, please let Ziqing out! Please let Ziqing go!"

Jiang San Niang's face was covered in tears, and she looked like a madwoman. The hand gripping her arm was very strong, digging into her flesh through the thin fabric.

Bai Nuo struggled desperately. Lu Ying wanted to come up and pull Jiang San Niang away, but seeing Jiang San Niang like this, Bai Nuo shook her head and told Lu Ying not to come up.

"Sister!" Jiang Qiao'er rushed over and pulled Jiang San Niang away, frowning as she looked at her. "Can't you be a little more sensible? How does Bai Nuo know where Yu Ziqing is? Didn't that man say he was going to send Yu Ziqing to jail? It's no use looking for Bai Nuo now!"

"No way!" Jiang San Niang, supported by Jiang Qiao'er, said dejectedly, "I went to check, Zi Qing and the others aren't in the prison. Nuonuo, do you know where Zi Qing and the others are? That man came to help you. Zi Qing really did something wrong to you. I apologize on his behalf, okay? Zi Qing is a scholar with a bright future ahead of him. Please let Zi Qing go, okay? He can't be ruined like this!"

Jiang San Niang became more and more agitated as she spoke, her voice growing louder and louder until she was almost kneeling down. "Nuonuo, I beg you, please let him go, okay?"

"Hey!" Seeing Jiang San Niang like this, Bai Nuo quickly helped her up and prevented her from kneeling down. "What are you doing? Let's talk this out."

Then, Bai Nuo pulled Jiang San Niang to sit on a stool. Seeing that Jiang San Niang was still crying, Bai Nuo had no choice but to say, "Sister San Niang, calm down first. We'll talk to you after you've calmed down."

"I've calmed down, I've calmed down, tell me!" Jiang San Niang seemed to have grasped at a straw, wiping her tears haphazardly, repeatedly saying that she had calmed down.

"You still have tears on your face, your eyes are red, and your breathing is unsteady. How can you be calm?" Bai Nuo looked at Jiang San Niang and smiled helplessly. "Sister, I won't run away. I'm willing to talk to you properly. Don't worry."

Jiang San Niang fell silent.

It took him a while to catch his breath, and then he nodded.

The group had been waiting, and Bai Yu and Jiang Qiao'er sat down next to Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang respectively.

"Nono, I'm sorry." After about 15 minutes, Jiang Sanniang spoke with remorse, "I know Ziqing did wrong. You are in this mess entirely because of me. I apologize to you. I'm willing to make any compensation you want. I'll do anything I can. Please, sister, let Ziqing off the hook. Although Ziqing did wrong, it was all for his mother. He's not a bad person at heart. He even passed the imperial examination. He... he can't be ruined like this."

Jiang San Niang's words made Bai Nuo want to laugh. "Sister, do you mean I deserve it? He can't be ruined, so I should be beaten? Doesn't he know who his mother is? He beat me up without even asking what happened?"

"That's not how it is!" Jiang Sanniang said anxiously, "It was Ziqing who made a mistake, it was Ziqing who was wrong..." Jiang Sanniang paused, clutching her clothes, looking very troubled, but finally stammered, "You're alright, could you let him go?"

"I really wanted to kill him!" Bai Nuo said coldly, but seeing Jiang San Niang's haggard face, Bai Nuo softened.

She's just a fucking stupid woman.

What merit does Yu Ziqing possess to have someone love her so much, someone who is willing to give up money and face?

"Fine, I won't make things difficult for you!" Bai Nuo said helplessly. "He is indeed with me, and he's still alive. I..."

“Miss, although Second Master did this for you, it was Second Master who brought them back and locked them up. If you want to release them, you need to ask Second Master’s opinion.” Bai Nuo was about to say, “I will release them right now,” when Lu Ying interrupted her.

Lu Ying interrupted Bai Nuo for a reason; Miss Bai is too soft-hearted.

Second Master was absolutely unwilling to let the person who hurt her go.

“That’s right!” Bai Nuo nodded. “Go and invite Second Master over for me.” Then she said to Jiang San Niang, “I’m only here as a guest. I didn’t bring him back, so I can’t make a final decision. I have to ask him. If he doesn’t agree, there’s nothing I can do.”

"I know!" Jiang San Niang said softly, her head lowered. "You're lucky to have someone willing to protect you, but for me, he's the one for me for life. But no matter what, I won't blame you. Thank you!"

Bai Nuo shook her head. Seeing that Lu Ying still didn't move, she couldn't help but say, "Go ahead, or are you going to make us sit here all day?"

"Oh!" Lu Ying responded hesitantly, then turned and left.

A short while later, Hu Mingmei returned. Bai Nuo and the others stood up as soon as they saw him, but Hu Mingmei walked straight towards Bai Nuo without even glancing at Jiang San Niang and the others, and frowned, saying, "Didn't I tell you to lie down more? Why are you up?"

"I felt like I was going to fall apart from lying down, so I got up and walked around." Bai Nuo herself didn't realize that when she spoke to Hu Mingmei, her voice became sweet and coquettish, as if she were pouting.
