Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Lin frowned and asked, "Are you asking me to lie?"

Wen Jingyun tapped the armrest with his fingers, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke in a lazy and casual voice:

"We now believe that the food has nothing to do with you. It was Princess Yu who deliberately framed you. It's her fault that you're tied up here now. Don't you want revenge?"

"The Emperor is far away, and as long as we agree, the Emperor will believe us. They will be convicted of corruption, and their fate will not be good."

This plan was perfect for him. Since he couldn't deal with the couple openly, he would do it secretly.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Lin nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Okay, I agree, as long as you believe that it was not me who took the grain and silver. I am really wronged in this matter, wuwu..."

When Prefect Liu saw that he agreed, he immediately ordered someone to untie the ropes that bound the family of three.

After being locked up for a few days, my hands and feet were numb from being tied up. Not only did I have to be beaten, but I also had to endure hunger. It was really painful.

Magistrate Lin was finally free at this moment and couldn't help crying with joy, "Wow... I'm finally free. I thought I was going to die here."

"Thank you, Prince Ning. I will definitely cooperate with you. If you ask me to go east, I will never go west. I will not let them continue to take the spotlight."

After saying this, he stumbled out of the torture chamber with his wife and children.

Not long after they left, Wen Jingyun also left in a wheelchair.

Prefect Liu pushed the wheelchair behind him and flattered him with a smile, "Prince Ning is so smart that he can come up with such a wonderful plan. Not only will we be safe, but we can also make great contributions."

"But I've always wondered how they stole the food. The door wasn't opened. Could they have gotten it out from the roof? This is too unbelievable..."

The sound gradually faded away until the lights in the torture room were turned off and the door was closed by the bailiffs, then Jiang Mengli walked out from the darkness.

She heard their conversation clearly just now and was very glad that she had this trip tonight, otherwise she would not know their plans.

When Jiang Mengli returned to the post station, he saw Wen Mohan sitting under the eaves bored, holding a pot of wine in his hand.

"Are you back? This is peach blossom wine, stolen from the county magistrate's mansion." He raised the wine pot and motioned for her to taste it.

Jiang Mengli looked at him expressionlessly, then withdrew her gaze and walked into the room silently, completely ignoring him.

What happened in the alley before is still vivid in my mind, and I still feel a lump in my heart that I can't let go.

Wen Mohan's hand was still in the gesture of passing the wine. He was stunned for two breaths before he withdrew his hand with a helpless smile, "Stingy guy, it's better if you don't drink. I can drink more."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked into the house, lighting two oil lamps to illuminate the dim room.

Jiang Mengli was already lying on the bed with her clothes on, sleeping on her side with her back to him and her eyes closed. Her brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly. She felt irritated and couldn't sleep at all.

Suddenly, the bed behind her collapsed, and the quilt covered her. A faint smell of alcohol came from behind her.

She opened her eyes and moved inside, causing the man to move in as well, until they stopped when there was nowhere left to go.

"Wen Mohan! What are you doing?" Jiang Mengli was a little angry. She stood up suddenly and punched him. "Are you trying to test whether I have given up on you again? You are really annoying. Stay away from me!"

Without waiting for the man to speak, she got out of bed, opened the door and jumped out. After reaching an open space, she slipped into the space.

There are houses and beds in this space, and all the daily necessities are available. It is much more comfortable to live in here.

Kong Kong watched her come in with a bewildered look on his face. He watched her enter the house and slam the door shut with a bang. "Did the master take dynamite? He's so angry..."

It’s better not to ask. If you ask at this time, you will be treated as a punching bag.

Wen Mohan stood up and walked out of the room and began to look around. The post station was not very big and he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

His legs and feet finally couldn't bear it anymore and he sat down dejectedly on the steps.

Yun Jian hurriedly walked up to him and asked, "Master, didn't you say you were going to sleep in the room? I saw you walking around, what are you looking for?"

Wen Mohan scratched his head in annoyance, his brows furrowed as he said, "Go find Jiang Mengli. As the Princess of Yu, is it appropriate for her to be running around in the middle of the night?!"

"Okay, I'll bring more... more people to look for it." Yun Jian left the post station with a few guards and started searching nearby.

But Wen Mohan did not leave. He sat on the steps with a wooden expression, staring at a certain place in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Jian came back panting, "Master, I can't find it."

Wen Mohan: "If you keep looking for her, I won't believe she grew wings and flew away!"

Yun Jian was helpless and continued searching.

This time he even ran out of the city and went to the refugee camp to look for it.

At this time, the people were still registering to receive food, and Long Yi and Long Er were also busy. Yun Jian asked them if they had seen Jiang Mengli, and they said no.

Yun Jian returned to the post station once again, "Master... Master, she still hasn't been found. Long Yi and the others haven't seen her either."

Wen Mohan's face was gloomy and cold. He stood up and said, "I understand. You guys go and rest."

After returning to the dormitory, he took the wine and sat on the steps outside the room to drink.

He couldn't describe his mood at the moment. Whenever he thought that Jiang Mengli might have left this place, his heart ached.

The next morning.

Jiang Mengli woke up refreshed and had breakfast in the space before going out. Outside, birds were chirping on the branches.

"From now on, I can sleep in the space at night." She stretched lazily. "The bed in the space is soft, the bedding is good, and the air is fragrant."

When returning to the post station, Yun Jian almost collided with her head-on.

When Yun Jian saw that it was her who had returned, he became so excited that he became incoherent, "The princess is not lost, she has returned on her own. Hurry and go check on the master, he is about to kill someone."

kill?

Why kill someone for no reason?

Jiang Mengli followed with curiosity. When she arrived at the dormitory, she saw Wen Mohan throw out a teacup from the room, "Keep looking!"

The two guards turned around and were about to continue looking, but they saw Jiang Mengli standing in the middle of the yard.

"The princess is back, there's no need to look for her anymore!"

"My Lord, the Princess is back...!"

Wen Mohan heard this and strode out of the room with a cold and serious expression. He walked up to Jiang Mengli and grabbed her shoulders and asked sharply:

"Where did you go last night? I didn't allow you to stay out all night. Don't forget that you are a married woman. Don't forget that you are the Princess of Yu!"

His aura was cold and terrifying, his eyes were bloodshot and angry, and he frightened the others so much that they dared not even breathe. The invisible sense of oppression made it difficult to breathe.

Jiang Mengli looked up at him calmly, and said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, I didn't cheat on you. I just kept my distance from you so that you wouldn't be worried and keep testing me."

"I've found a really good place to sleep. From now on, I won't have to fight with you for the bed. You can sleep in your own bed every night."

After she finished speaking, she pushed his arm away, looked at Yun Jian and ordered, "When Long Yi wakes up, tell him to intercept any letters or memorials sent by Prefect Liu to the capital."
