Su San Niang was filled with regret. Why did she have to go and make things difficult for Gu An An?
Originally, she ran her own snack shop and her own needlework shop, and they kept to themselves.
Why can't they learn their lesson? They can't stand seeing others doing well.
The more petty she was back then, the more she regrets it now; Su San Niang is green with envy.
Now I only hope that my repentance will earn Gu An'an's forgiveness.
Who would want to stay in this prison? It reeks of urine all day long; she really couldn't stand it anymore.
Su San Niang's mind was in a mess. It wasn't until Gu An'an walked up to her that she came to her senses and hurriedly called out, "Little Gu, Little Gu, listen to me, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I was blinded by greed, I will never dare to do it again. Please talk to the adults and ask them to let me out, okay?"
The person in front of her was always neat and tidy. Gu An'an remembered that the only time she had ever seen Su San Niang looking listless was when she was sick at home.
But now, with straw stuck to their heads, they look like they're being sold off as trophies.
My face was filthy, and I was trying my best to wipe it, but the more I wiped, the dirtier it got.
It was a truly embarrassing situation.
Before Gu An'an could speak, she heard a cold laugh, "You expect her to talk? Who do you think she is? Does she think her words are that useful?"
Su Sanniang was furious upon hearing this, "If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this?"
She used to own a needlework shop where she could make money selling needlework, but what about now?
Everything is gone; this woman has ruined it all.
"Is it my fault? So you're saying I was the one who found you to deal with Gu An'an?"
Bai Qiaoyin sneered. She sat there quietly, which was better than Su Sanniang.
His complexion was a little dull, after all, he was in prison, where the food and supplies were not as good as outside, so how could he be radiant?
Su San Niang was dumbfounded by the question and turned her head away angrily, no longer wanting to talk to Bai Qiaoyin.
Bai Qiaoyin let out another cold laugh, "What are you doing here? Are you here to tell us that you have a good relationship with our county magistrate?"
She heard everything Gu An'an and that Master Liang were saying.
Master Liang's attitude was obsequious.
Isn't this just something he's saying to himself?
Gu An'an smiled upon hearing this, "Yes, I wanted to tell you that even if Lin Zixing comes, Manager Bai, you can forget about getting out of this prison."
She knew very well how to anger Bai Qiaoyin.
Just mention one name—
Lin Zixing.
The person, who had been sitting in meditation like an old monk, suddenly stood up. If it weren't for the cage holding him back, he would have rushed to Gu An'an and said, "Don't think you can scare me."
"Is that so?" Gu An'an chuckled. "If Manager Bai wasn't frightened, why did he lose his composure? The fact that the manager of Taibai Restaurant was detained in the county jail was such a sensational event, but so far, has anyone come to visit Manager Bai, and has anyone spoken up for him?"
Gu An'an glanced at Master Liang, "I don't know, but Master Liang should know."
Liang, the clerk in the distance, seemed to hear someone calling his name, but he couldn't quite make it out.
Just as he was about to listen carefully, he suddenly heard that hysterical voice, "Gu An'an, don't be so arrogant!"
"Am I as arrogant as Manager Bai?" Gu An'an shook her head and sighed. "Manager Bai, you dared to ruin Minister Fu's daughter's face just because you're one of Lin Zixing's people. How arrogant can you be? When you're unhappy, your men schemed and almost killed me. Oh, I forgot to mention, that Li Si Niang came to cause trouble, saying that my food made her family sick. That was probably Manager Bai's doing too."
One by one, Gu An'an tallied up the accounts, "If we're really talking about arrogance, how could I possibly compare to Manager Bai?"
Bai Qiaoyin's expression softened a bit, but her gaze towards Gu An'an still held a hint of hostility.
Upon hearing this, Su Sanniang quickly spoke up, "She's a vicious woman. Back then, to get revenge on the other girls, she seduced the manager of the brothel, whispering in his ear to tip him off. Xiao Gu, you'd better not let her get away with this, or she'll definitely come looking for you once she gets out..."
A sudden sharp pain shot through her neck, and Su San Niang felt something pierce her throat, followed by a rush of warm fluid.
She looked down and found that it was a silver hairpin stuck in her neck.
“I hate it when people bring up my painful past,” Bai Qiaoyin said, pulling out the silver hairpin. “Unfortunately, you heard it too.”
The unfortunate one was Su San Niang. How could she have known that her few words would bring about her death?
The prisoner in the next cell shouted, "Murder! Murder!"
Perhaps they cried wolf too many times, because the jailers in the prison were slow to arrive.
Bai Qiaoyin glanced at him coldly, which shut the prisoner up.
Aside from those who have killed people, who wouldn't be afraid of a woman who kills in broad daylight?
Gu An'an was also startled, but she quickly calmed down and turned around to call for help.
"If you've got the guts, let me stay here forever. Otherwise, Gu An'an, I will never let you go."
She had no idea how Su San Niang knew her secret.
However, everyone who knows about that matter must die, including Gu An'an.
Even if the young master gets angry, she doesn't care.
That was Bai Qiaoyin's last stand.
Gu An'an glanced back and saw madness in those eyes.
I'm not trying to scare you.
Bai Qiaoyin will do that if she can get out.
"Debts must be repaid, and murderers must pay with their lives. Who gave you the illusion that you can live to be a hundred?"
The woman with a fierce expression suddenly froze. When she looked up again, she saw the constables running in nervously, looking at her as if she were a dead person.
die?
She might die?
This thought made Bai Qiaoyin panic like never before. Even when she gave herself to someone, she knew it was just a temporary expedient.
How could she die?
Master Liang was also shocked. "This Manager Bai is really...you can't judge a book by its cover."
How could such a beautiful and charming woman be so ruthless?
This is terrifying.
He had just heard about Su San Niang being killed by Bai Qiaoyin and rushed over to deal with it. In the process, he also learned about Bai Qiaoyin's threat. "Don't worry, Manager Gu, this is Anping County, which is different from other places. This matter will definitely be handled fairly."
Regardless of whether they were working for Young Master Lin or Young Master Li, since they killed someone, they should pay with their lives.
Gu An'an nodded upon hearing this. Stepping out of the county jail, she took a deep breath. Compared to the darkness and gloom inside, the outside was truly warm and bright.
A smile spread across his face. "Master Liang, I wonder if the sir is available now? May I go and pay him a visit?"
Having just witnessed such a bloody incident, the fact that she could make this request without batting an eye made Master Liang think that the woman in front of him was even more terrifying than Bai Qiaoyin.
Fortunately, this scary thing is harmless.
