Bai Nuo was still deeply shaken, but she tried her best to remain calm, indifferently shifting her gaze and staring straight ahead.

Officer Cheng turned to look at Bai Nuo and saw that she was expressionless and seemed to not care about this place.

Officer Cheng sighed inwardly. Bai Nuo was certainly bold, but his luck was not good. What a pity.

"Miss Bai, please go in!" Constable Cheng led Bai Nuo to the innermost part of the prison and pointed to a cell.

Bai Nuo looked inside and saw that Jiang San Niang was already there, squatting with her head buried in her knees, dressed very thinly.

Bai Nuo called out, "Sister..."

Jiang San Niang looked up and saw Bai Nuo. She was a little excited and stood up abruptly, but she stood up too hard and bent over again, clutching her stomach.

Bai Nuo called out, "Slow down!"

Jiang San Niang stood up and walked over. Bai Nuo quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, frowning as she said, "Why are you dressed so scantily?" Jiang San Niang's hand felt icy cold to the touch.

Jiang San Niang asked anxiously, "Where are your brother-in-law and the others?"

Bai Nuo had never seen Hu Mingmei and Lu Ying before, so he could only turn his questioning gaze to Constable Cheng.

Officer Cheng said, "They're on the other side, they're fine for now..."

Jiang Sanniang angrily retorted, "What have we done wrong? Why are you going to arrest us all?"

Officer Cheng said in a deep voice, "Someone reported that you are privately hiring assassins, so we are calling you in for questioning as a matter of routine."

“We also encountered assassins yesterday. Did we invite someone to kill us?” Jiang San Niang asked rhetorically.

Chief Constable Cheng remained silent; he was simply following orders, doing exactly what Lord Li told him to do.

Bai Nuo said, "Officer Cheng, could you please bring me a warm coat?"

Officer Cheng hesitated for a moment.

Bai Nuo said, "We haven't been convicted yet, have we? If we turn out to be innocent, and something happens to us, will you take responsibility?"

"Wait a moment!" Officer Cheng said, unlocking the railing and telling Bai Nuo, "You go in first."

Bai Nuo nodded, and without making things difficult for Constable Cheng, obediently went inside.

After Officer Cheng locked the door, he left again. Jiang San Niang grabbed Bai Nuo's hand, "Nuo Nuo..."

Jiang San Niang's hands were trembling. Bai Nuo asked softly, "What happened?"

Jiang San Niang said, "I don't know. I was taking a nap at home and hadn't gotten up yet when they pulled me up and I ended up here. Lu Ying told me not to be afraid, but how could I not be afraid?"

Bai Nuo asked, "Where's Qiao'er? Where's A Yu?"

Jiang San Niang shook her head. "I don't know. I didn't see them, and neither did Grandma. I guess they're not here. Only Second Master and Donglai are here."

Bai Nuo had a rough idea of ​​what was going on and comforted her, "Alright, don't worry, nothing will happen. They can't do anything to us since we didn't do anything."

Jiang San Niang nodded, feeling utterly sorrowful.

"Miss Bai," Officer Cheng quickly returned, carrying a coat. He opened the door, and Bai Nuo walked over. Officer Cheng handed her the coat, saying, "We don't have any women's clothes anymore; they're all men's clothes. But don't worry, this coat is clean."

Bai Nuo took the clothes and said softly, "Thank you."

Officer Cheng shook his head. "It's alright. I believe you are innocent. I just did what I thought I should do."

Bai Nuo nodded, and Officer Cheng closed the door again.

Bai Nuo went back inside and draped the clothes over Jiang San Niang's shoulders. Jiang San Niang pulled the clothes closer and immediately felt a warm current running through her body. She put her hands inside the clothes and finally stopped trembling.

The ground was covered with dry grass, and the surroundings looked very dry, with no standing water or garbage. It seemed that Constable Cheng had taken special care of them; the environment here was much better than outside.

The two sat in silence, unsure of what to say. Each had their own people to worry about, so they simply sat there quietly.

"Bai Nuo, Bai Nuo!" The two of them didn't know how long they had been sitting. The prison was always dark and they didn't know what time it was or whether it was dark or light outside. When they heard someone call Bai Nuo, they subconsciously raised their heads.

Li Jinyu rushed over, looking anxious.

Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang stood up and walked to the railing.

Li Jinyu ran over and grabbed Bai Nuo's hand, saying guiltily, "I'm sorry, I couldn't get my father to release you."

It turned out that Li Jinyu had learned of Lord Li's order to arrest Bai Nuo and the others as soon as he gave the order. She immediately went to her father and begged, "Father, what are you doing? You can't arrest them! They're innocent! They were assassinated yesterday too. How could anyone kill themselves?"

Lord Li's face was grim as he said in a deep voice, "What do you know? People are saying they're harboring assassins, and I'm just going along with public opinion."

"Bullshit! I don't care, you just have to release them. They're innocent, and Third Sister is pregnant. What if something happens to her?"

"That's just her bad luck!" For the first time, Lord Li didn't go along with his daughter's wishes. "If you keep causing trouble here, I'll lock them all up!"

Li Jinyu dared not say another word and angrily returned to her room. Seeing her so furious, Cui'er quickly said, "Miss, please don't be angry. Miss Bai and the others probably haven't eaten yet. Let's hurry and get them something to eat!"
