Chapter 401 402. Things Change

Li Biaotou waited until Madam Huang left before coming over and apologetically smiling.

"Master Gu, Madam Gu, it was because our subordinates failed to handle the matter properly before, and you have suffered a lot."

Gu Wenheng, "Nothing, are you guys sending them to your master again this time?"

Anyone with some information channels knows that this escort agency is the dowry of Bai Shizi's mother, and it has been lukewarm before.

Ever since Bai Jinglie and Gu Wenheng started dealing with glass, this escort agency has had endless orders every day, especially in the past two years, when they have set up branches in every place. Most of Jin Qianqian's soap also flows through this escort agency.

"Yes, this time we are also escorting a batch of goods. Sir Gu, do you have any message for our master?"

Gu Wenheng then shook his head and said, "We just communicated through letters, so I won't bother you, the prince.

It’s just that my mother is old, so I need you to take care of her for the next two days.”

Li Biaotou quickly took the opportunity to explain again, "This is all as it should be. I was busy with other things before, otherwise this wouldn't have happened."

"It's okay, we can all understand. You are very busy now, so you don't have to worry about us." Gu Wenheng had already noticed that there were several escorts standing far away. They must be waiting for the leader to make a decision on something.

After everyone left, Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian returned to the carriage to talk to the old lady. They waited until the convoy left before they went back.

"Mom, is it really okay not to take Le Huan back?" Gu Yuanshui couldn't help but ask when the car started moving.

Li Cuicui, "You didn't ask earlier, isn't it too late to tell me now?

Weren't you guys just as stubborn back then? Just like you, I said all the good and bad things to you, but you still insisted on having your own way.

But at least it’s okay. Although your wife has some minor flaws, she will at least listen to you.”

Gu Yuanshui, "Mom, isn't that different? If Le Huan's marriage is really agreed upon, it would be equivalent to splitting up the family. My second sister-in-law would definitely make a fuss then."

"If you want to make a scene, just make a scene," Li Cuicui said with a nonchalant look on her face, "I don't want to see her, so I'll just have someone kick her out.

If she had the ability, she could have gone to Shangjing to find Le Huan herself, but by then it would probably have been a done deal, and it would have been useless for her to object. "

"Mom," Gu Yuanshui understood instantly, "You didn't ask Le Huan to sign the marriage certificate first?"

Li Cuicui looked at him with a half-smile, "Aren't these all your leftovers? Why? Can't your nephew use them?"

Gu Yuanshui: "..." Why does this sound like gloating?

When he thought of his two children, Gu Yuanshui couldn't help swallowing, "Mom, you wouldn't treat your son like this, right?"

Li Cuicui leaned against a corner of the carriage, pulled the warm quilt tightly around her, and closed her eyes to rest.

Gu Yuanshui, who didn't get a reply, couldn't help but smile bitterly. Is this considered a changing of fortune?

Xiao Wanyu's verdict was also quickly announced. Because she used mutually reinforcing and counteracting dishes and medicines to silently kill court officials, she was directly ordered to sign and seal a sentence of execution.

I don’t know if she accepted her fate, but she didn’t make any noise or fuss. But the day before she was taken into custody, she asked to see Gu Wenheng.

Gao Ning didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but the exchange conditions proposed by Xiao Wanyu made him particularly excited.

In order to get a detailed list of mutual promotion and mutual restraint, Gao Ning could only ask Gu Wenheng to come over.

"Master Gu, I know this matter is difficult for you, but the list in Xiao's hand is still very useful to me. In order to prevent anyone from being hurt in the future, I hope Master Gu will give me some convenience."

Gu Wenheng is not an ungrateful person. Gao Ning had previously blocked the news, otherwise his reputation would have been tarnished.

"I can go and see her, but I don't want to see her in private. I hope you can be a witness."

Gao Ning stood up immediately and said, "I haven't been over there for a long time. It's a good opportunity to go and see if those people are slacking off today. Lord Gu, let's go together."

It was not appropriate to make a loud noise about this matter. Gao Ning waved his hand to refuse the bailiff and led the way.

Gu Wenheng followed behind him. The prison cell of Shuntian Prefecture was not far away. The gate could be seen after just three turns.

Before I even got there, I could smell a rotten smell from afar.

Gu Wenheng could guess that the air inside was even worse, so he took a deep breath outside and then followed the figure in front of him into a world he had never been exposed to.

It is very different from the prison cells shown on TV.

It was a deep and dark passage that made one's scalp tingle when walking in it.

What's more, there were groans and curses from time to time, which made Gu Wenheng, who was always able to face various occasions calmly, couldn't help but frown slightly.

The further he went inside, the more pungent the air became. Gu Wenheng no longer cared about maintaining his image and lifted his clothes to cover his nose.

Looking at Gao Ning who was walking in front, he seemed to be unaware of all this and was leading the way with a calm expression.

Gao Ning reached a small door in front and walked over to knock on the wooden door. The knocking sound seemed particularly strange in this narrow alley.

Following the creaking sound, Gu Wenheng was actually still thinking that if this were made into a horror movie, it would probably scare the audience.

"Sir, you are here." A prison guard bowed quickly when he saw Gao Ning, "Which prisoner are you going to interrogate today?"

Gao Ning, "I'll come over to take a look, you stay here and guard well."

"Yes," the prison boss glanced at Gu Wenheng and guessed that this should be the relative of a prisoner who came to visit him. He just didn't know who he was and why Mr. Gao could lead the way in person.

Gao Ning led him through another narrow alley. The sound that he had vaguely heard before was particularly obvious here.

Pushing open the half-open door, a row of cells appeared in front of Gu Wenheng.

This should be the first time in his life that he had visited a prison cell. When several bailiffs guarding the cell saw them coming, they immediately jumped up.

Gao Ning, "You guys go out first."

The bailiffs didn't ask any more questions and just walked out the door.

Gu Wenheng then looked at these cells curiously. The prisoners in these cells were unevenly distributed, some more and some less, but it was obvious that there were only male prisoners in these cells.

Gu Wenheng didn't ask any questions. Seeing Gao Ning walking to the corner, he naturally followed him.

Turning a corner, it was obvious that this was the women's prison.

The number of people here is much smaller than outside. It can even be said that everyone has a separate cell. I wonder if this counts as single room treatment?

Gao Ning went straight to the cell where Xiao Wanyu was imprisoned, "Xiao, come here for a moment."

Only then did Gu Wenheng realize that there was a figure curled up in the corner.

But this is no wonder. Even though he is wearing thick cotton clothes, he still feels the temperature here is a bit biting.
