Chapter 8 Conditions
Shen Jinan had been thinking about the possible development of the subsequent plot in his mind, and did not notice Shen Xitang's family at all. There was infinite malice and resentment in his eyes.
Gu Yanqing stared at her even more intently.
But the two little kids were extremely happy. They felt that their mother was extremely powerful and had become very different from before.
The next morning, after a night's rest, everyone set off on their journey full of energy.
Perhaps to save energy, no one spoke along the way.
But the weather was gloomy and the exile team was all in tatters from front to back.
Shen Jinan couldn't help but think of the zombie horde in the daytime in his previous life.
The sky was gloomy and the place was so dirty and messy that it was scary.
She deliberately withdrew her gaze and followed everyone to the county town.
The county magistrate here has already prepared the prison, and as soon as they arrive, they will throw these exiled prisoners into the prison.
Those officials moved directly into the county magistrate's house.
This huge difference made the prisoners feel indignant.
The cell was very damp, with insects and ants hiding in the dark. Gu Huanhuan and Gu Suisui obviously couldn't accept it. They whined and cried, and no matter what they did, they wouldn't be comforted.
Lu Nianqing followed them, holding her daughter. When she heard the two children crying, she immediately took off her clothes and said, "These clothes are for you. They can keep you warm. The children are still young. If they catch a cold, they won't be able to withstand it."
He was wearing only a single layer of clothes, holding his daughter in his arms, and sat down against the damp wall.
He actually regarded them as his saviors, which was enough to show how important this little girl was to him.
Shen Jinan's heart softened. How bad could the heart of a man who loves his daughter be?
She looked around and took out a thin quilt from the space while no one was paying attention. She made it look dusty for fear of suspicion from others.
Gu Yanqing watched the quilt emerge from her hands and was shocked, but did not ask any more questions.
Shen Jinan pulled Gu Yanqing, motioning him to come to her side, and then returned Lu Nianqing's clothes to him: "You and Nannan should pay more attention, we will be fine."
Gu Yanqing sat down next to Shen Jinan, his eyes slightly narrowed, and the doubt in his heart was forcibly suppressed by him.
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Suisui squeezed in between Lu Nianqing and Shen Jinan, and Gu Yanqing protected Shen Jinan like a child.
She has truly repented now and treats them and their son very well.
And he saved them father and son many times during their exile.
Gu Yanqing naturally wanted to protect Shen Jinan at all costs.
After a day of hard work, everyone fell into a deep sleep.
Suddenly, the sound of a lock opening woke Gu Yanqing up in the middle of the night.
He raised his eyes, but the damp and cold cell could not suppress the coldness hidden in his eyes.
Lin Xiaofeng's eyes paused, then his face turned cold. He stood in front of them and reached out to touch Shen Jinan.
Shen Jinan was sleeping soundly, but when he noticed someone approaching, his eyes suddenly opened.
Upon seeing this, he saw Gu Yanqing's fingers tightly grasping Lin Xiaofeng's wrist: "Commander Lin, what are you doing?"
Lin Xiaofeng lowered his voice: "This commander is not here to see you, but to see Miss Shen."
Gu Yanqing looked outside through the skylight.
Outside, the stars are twinkling and the moon is high in the sky. It is already late at night.
He couldn't help but frown: "What do you want to find her for? I want to follow her."
Lin Xiaofeng’s voice was cold: “Only Miss Shen.”
It looks like he wants to take Shen Jinan away by force.
Shen Jinan said nothing and dodged to the side: “Commander Lin, don’t tell me what it is. If you don’t let my husband follow me, I will not go with you.”
Anger rolled across Lin Xiaofeng's face.
But then he lowered his voice and looked at the others. Seeing that they hadn't woken him up, he breathed a sigh of relief: "The county magistrate's child suddenly fell ill. Several doctors came but were helpless. It's not because of your ability that I came to call you."
Shen Jinan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of what he said. After a long while, he said, "I can go for treatment, but after I am cured, you have to arrange for our family to live outside the cell. Otherwise, it is dark and damp here, and if I get sick, it will be hard for anyone."
This seemed like a condition and a threat, and Lin Xiaofeng didn't want to agree.
However, he had made such a boast in front of the county magistrate, and if he really couldn't bring anyone with him, he would probably offend the county magistrate.
Although the county magistrate holds a low position, he is rich and this place has many valuable things. If one can win the favor of the county magistrate, it will only benefit him in getting promoted and making money in the future!
Lin Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and suppressed his dissatisfaction with Shen Jinan: "Okay, but you can't tell anyone else. If someone asks where you went, you have to find a way to cover it up."
Shen Jinan naturally knew that if there was a first case, there would be a second. If anyone claimed that they had medical skills, regardless of whether they could or not, as long as this precedent was set, their family would become the target of public criticism.
Not only that, Lin Xiaofeng is also difficult to manage.
Having made too many enemies, it will be extremely difficult to overturn the verdict in the future.
Shen Jinan understood, so he nodded solemnly.
She stood up, comforted Gu Yanqing and the two cute kids, and was about to leave when she suddenly heard Shen Xitang's mocking voice in the corner of the prison.
"Oh, in the middle of the night, you're going to accompany the official? Tsk tsk, your body must have been ruined a long time ago, right?"
Shen Xitang suppressed her inner joy. Lin Xiaofeng and Shen Jinan had just been talking in low voices.
She didn't hear it clearly, and when she saw Shen Jinan following Lin Xiaofeng, she thought he was going to sleep with Lin Xiaofeng.
Gu Yanqing frowned, "People without ability will only look at others with dirty eyes, and people with bad hearts will only guess that they are the despicable things they would do when they see others doing things!"
"Bad woman! No one will treat you as a mute if you can't speak!" Even Gu Suisui couldn't help but glared at Shen Xitang fiercely. He had heard this so many times that he naturally learned it.
Shen Xitang was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. Was Gu Yanqing so angry that he went crazy?
Shen Jinan had already left with the other person, what else could a man and a woman do in the middle of the night?
Gu Yanqing, this loser, still stubbornly believed her!
She was about to stand up and point at Gu Yanqing's nose and scold him when she heard Gu Huanhuan's sweet voice.
"Daddy, does this aunt want to sleep with that uncle? But didn't Daddy say that those who sleep with others casually are women in brothels?"
Chen Xitang couldn't help but scream, "Bastard! Bastard! Who taught you to talk to me like that! Shut up! Shut up!"
Gu Yanqing sneered coldly and protected the two children: "Don't pay attention to such a filthy person, it will dirty your eyes and your mouth!"
Mrs. Lin was so furious listening to this, but she didn't dare to step forward and speak. She was always thinking further ahead than her own daughter.
What if, what if Gu Yanqing overturns the verdict in the future, they will be the first to suffer!
But...but they dislike Shen Jinan!
Lin couldn't help but pinch Minister Shen's arm hard.
The latter howled and slapped her: "What are you doing!"
Lin's eyes widened, "You dare to hit me? Shen Jiangqing! Did I marry you just to live this kind of hard life with you? You're such a worthless person! How dare you hit me!"
Shen Jiangqing was even more annoyed by this. Being hungry was uncomfortable already, and now he was even more furious. He slapped Lin in the face!
Their family suddenly started fighting. The concubines that Shen Jiangqing had taken in huddled aside without saying a word, staring at Shen Jiangqing with even a bit of resentment in their eyes!
Shen Xitang sat aside, holding her stomach, her eyes as vicious as a venomous snake.
He only entangled Gu Yanqing and ignored the fights among the people around him!
