Su Wanwan was overwhelmed by his imposing presence, tears welling up in her eyes, and she stood there at a loss.

She was willing to become Lu Xingjian's plaything again, as long as it saved Xiao Bin.

This was something she had thought about carefully before coming here.

In front of Lu Xingjian, that was all she had to offer.

However, she really didn't expect him to have this attitude.

That's so hurtful to my self-esteem.

He had forcibly kissed her last time.

Just before, she went to visit brothels.

Now he pretends to be a virtuous gentleman.

Who told her to be so humble when she needed something from him?

His voice was cold and low, carrying a hint of lecturing.

"Girls should have self-respect and dignity. They shouldn't lose their face for a man, understand?"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Su Wanwan felt as if she had been slapped hard across the face, her cheeks burning.

All the strength in my body was drained, and my shoulders slumped down quickly.

I was overwhelmed with shame.

He called her shameless, and of course she could tell.

But so what?

She bit her lip, a stubborn glint in her eyes.

If being shameless could save Xiao Bin's life, she felt it was worth it.

After returning home, Su Wanwan also began preparing a second plan—a prison break.

However, breaking into prison is extremely difficult, and without reliable manpower, it is fraught with difficulties.

The capable and useful people recruited in recent years are all working in businesses in Jiangnan or overseas.

She was a sheltered young woman, not very familiar with the capital, so how could she know anyone who could break her out of prison?

They spent a lot of money, but only managed to recruit a few江湖人士 (jianghu figures).

Lu Xingjian did not give her an answer, and she dared not have too many expectations of him.

On the third day, a young eunuch came to the palace, and Su Wanwan's heart jumped into the air.

Was he willing to help rescue people?

The young eunuch presented Su Wanwan with a small box, his expression respectful as he said:

"Madam Su, these are the house and land deeds that you pawned before. His Majesty sent me to deliver them to you."

Su Wanwan looked through the box and found that besides the house and land deeds, there were also 500,000 taels of silver notes. She was a little disappointed.

Did he leave any message?

Five hundred thousand taels of silver is a considerable sum.

But she desperately wanted Xiao Bin to be safe.
