Ye Moxun: I made that up. He didn't know if Five Elements Mountain existed in this world. This is a fictional world.

Now, Zhang Qingling, that crazy guy, was actually quite lucky. Why do I say that? Because when the first snow fell that winter, news came from Jiangnan that the Wise Prince had ascended the throne and changed the era name to "Pingkang".

From then on, Ling'an in Jiangnan became the capital, and the original capital was restored to its original name, Beiyue City. The first thing Emperor Pingkang did after ascending the throne was to grant a general amnesty.

So Zhang Qingling got incredibly lucky and was released. At this time, she was six months pregnant. Because she was eating well and was determined to live, she stayed in prison for more than half a year. When she came out, she didn't look thin, except for being a little pale. Everything was fine.

Zhang Qingyu is now five months pregnant, but on the day her sister was released from prison, she still brought Zhang Shen with her to pick her up outside the prison. The old lady of the Shang family did not agree to her coming, but no one in the Shang family could persuade her to come. She insisted on coming, and the Shang family could not do anything about it.

They couldn't just lock her up and not let her go out. Zhang Qingyu wasn't someone to be trifled with, and besides, she was pampered by the young master Shang, and she only got pregnant after more than a year of marriage, so the Shang family valued this pregnancy quite a bit.

Originally, when Zhang Qingling got into trouble, Old Master Shang wanted to divorce Zhang Qingyu or demote her to a concubine, but Young Master Shang refused and insisted on protecting her. Old Madam Shang really couldn't do anything about her son, and could only blame Zhang Qingyu for being a vixen who had her son completely bewitched.

"I'm out! I'm finally out! Hahahaha! I knew I wasn't meant to die!" Zhang Qingling burst into laughter outside the yamen prison after walking out of the prison.

jailer:"……"

Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Shen: "..."

"Be careful. Laughing like that at a time like this, aren't you afraid that someone with ulterior motives will seize on your mistake and throw you back in jail?" Zhang Qingyu said, covering her mouth with exasperation.

This younger sister is getting more and more confused. She's been in jail for so long and still hasn't learned to control her temper. If this continues, she'll get into trouble sooner or later.

Zhang Qingyu secretly wondered if she should lock her younger sister up when she got back, preventing her from going out and seeing people for the time being, lest she get herself back in jail after only a couple of days since being released.

"...I'm just so happy. Being locked up in jail is so unbearable. Sister, you have no idea how many rats, cockroaches, and spiders there are in the prison. It's not a place for humans to live." Zhang Qingling was also afraid of being caught again, so she lowered her voice.

Seeing that she spoke with a strong voice and her tone was almost the same as before, it seemed that she wasn't having a bad time in prison, at least she wasn't too badly affected. I really don't know whether to say she's optimistic or that her thought process is different from normal people.

"Second sister, prison isn't a place for ordinary people; it's a place for criminals," Zhang Shen replied indifferently. This second sister had gotten pregnant out of wedlock, which had brought shame to the Zhang family. Now, everyone outside was talking badly about their family.

Even when he went to the private school, his classmates ostracized him, scolding his sister for being shameless, having an affair with a married man without a matchmaker, and getting pregnant with another man's child. She tried to force him to marry her, but when he refused, she poisoned him. She was truly a vicious woman and a madwoman.

It would be a lie for Zhang Shen to say he didn't resent her, but after all, she was his own sister, and now she had been punished. What could he do? Kick her out while she was pregnant, sever ties with her, and have the Zhang family disown her as their daughter?

Alas, he admitted that he couldn't do any of those things.

"You think I've embarrassed you? Yes, it's my fault for being blind to fall for such a man. He's good-looking but useless. What can I do?" Zhang Qingling, who had been so arrogant just moments before, suddenly looked sorrowful and silently shed tears.

After sobbing for a moment, she said in a tearful voice, "At that time, I also thought I had no way out. I was pregnant out of wedlock, and people outside would spit on me to death. With my body like a withered flower, it was impossible for me to marry into a good family again. Lian Qin has hurt me so badly, how can I let him get away with it?"

So she planned to poison him first, and then commit suicide. She was originally determined to die together with him, but when she returned home and picked up the remaining poison, she couldn't bring herself to drink it.

Later, she was arrested by the authorities. She thought that since she didn't dare to do it herself, it would be better to let the executioner behead her. However, after spending a few days in prison, she suddenly didn't want to die anymore. She was afraid of pain, and even more afraid of death.

Why should she die for a scoundrel like Lian Qin? Lian Qin doesn't want this child, but she insists on giving birth to it, so that the Lian family's reputation will also be damaged.

"Now that you know you've made a mistake, think before you act in the future. Don't be foolish again. You were lucky this time; the new emperor ascended the throne and granted a general amnesty. Otherwise, you would have suffered greatly. You didn't suffer much this time because you're pregnant, and I pleaded with Young Master Ye, which is why the jailers didn't dare to make things difficult for you."

Otherwise, with your antics, you would have been beaten black and blue long ago, and might have even miscarried. In a prison environment like that, if you had miscarried, your body would have been ruined.

Zhang Qingyu paused here, glanced at her sister's face, and seeing her look of lingering fear, continued, "Your relationship with Song Tantan was so bad, and they would still plead for you while you were pregnant. But after you give birth, you definitely won't get that kind of treatment. Prisoners who have been exiled have to do hard labor. Then you'll know what it's really like to be in prison."

"So in a couple of days, you should personally go to the Zhong residence and thank Young Master Ye and Miss Song. If it weren't for them, you might not even be alive." Zhang Qingyu patiently explained the situation to her, hoping that this ordeal would make her more sensible.

Zhang Qingling pursed her lips and remained silent, her face deathly pale. She seemed lost in thought, and then blankly followed the carriage. After returning home, she took a bath, ate a large meal, and then went to bed to rest.
