As Chu Qingxuan listened to Liu's mother speak, a faint smile remained on her lips; she showed no fear of going to jail.

Finally, Chu Qingxuan's gaze fell on Mudan. She noticed that Mudan had her head down and didn't dare to look Chu Qingxuan in the eye.

Chu Qingxuan stared at the peony, but neither the peony nor Chu Qingxuan spoke.

“Miss Qingxuan, if you really die, I will not return the money to General Dongfang.”

Chu Qingxuan turned to look at Liu Mama and said, "No need, but... could Liu Mama grant me a request?"

Mother Liu waved her hand and said, "Go ahead and say it. Considering how much money you've made for Baihualou before, I'll definitely agree as long as it's within my power."

Chu Qingxuan said, "Thank you."

Mrs. Liu gave a haughty snort, "What are you thanking me for? I'm not a cold-blooded person."

She was from a respectable family before, but fate played a cruel joke on her, and she could only accept it.

Chu Qingxuan glanced at Peony and then said, "Let Peony leave the Hundred Flowers Pavilion."

Liu's mother hesitated for a moment, but still agreed to Chu Qingxuan's request.

Upon hearing this, Peony looked up at Chu Qingxuan in surprise, and Chu Qingxuan also looked at Peony.

"I originally intended to take you away with me, but now that I'm no longer at Baihualou, you should leave Baihualou."

Peony's eyes were red, and after hearing Chu Qingxuan's words, tears fell down her cheeks.

She choked back tears as she called out Chu Qingxuan's name.

"Miss Qingxuan..."

Chu Qingxuan said, "You don't need to do that. Since I promised you, I will naturally do it."

Peony bit her lip and said, "Miss Qingxuan, what I want to say is... I'm sorry..."

Chu Qingxuan chuckled softly.

"There's nothing to apologize for."

After speaking, Chu Qingxuan's eyes were deep, concealing a certain emotion.

But Peony wiped away her tears and said, "Miss Qingxuan, as long as you don't leave Baihualou, I won't leave Baihualou. I'll wait for you to come back!"

Chu Qingxuan asked, "Are you really sure?"

Peony nodded. "I've thought it through."

"This is your own decision. I won't try to persuade you or stop you."

Mother Liu also asked Peony, "Are you really determined not to leave the Hundred Flowers Pavilion?"

Peony said, "Yes."

"Do as you please, anyway, Baihualou won't miss Peony."

Chu Qingxuan smiled but didn't say anything.

Soon, it was time for Liu's mother and Mudan to visit each other in prison, and the two were driven out by the jailers.

Once again, Chu Qingxuan was alone in the prison. After calming down, she carefully considered the news brought by Liu Mama.

Now, news of her plot to murder Yue Jinyun has spread throughout the capital. What caught Chu Qingxuan's attention was that some people said that Dongfang Hao and Long Yao had a disagreement over this matter, and Long Yao even publicly scolded Dongfang Hao.

Their relationship appears to have broken down because of this incident.

Chu Qingxuan tried to connect all the dots, assuming that this was just a trap, and that the trap wasn't set for her.

It was prepared for Dongfang Hao and Long Yao.

The person who was hiding discovered that Dongfang Hao had been in close contact with her, so he framed her and sent her to prison.

Dongfang Hao will definitely help her, and in the end, she will part ways with Long Yao, which makes some things understandable.

All of this was just Chu Qingxuan's assumption. If it were true, Chu Qingxuan felt that her situation was a bit dangerous.

She has to find a way to get out of here.
