The head jailer placed the food box he was holding on the table and questioned Liu Dalei, "Where did you take her?"
Liu Dalei whispered, "I took her to the toilet. It's really inconvenient for a young woman like her in a cell..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked: "Didn't I tell you to leave her alone? Why are you being so kind as to take her to the outhouse!"
Xiao Yunying's face darkened: "Why did you kick someone?"
The head of the prison guards shoved her away, saying, "What do you think you can do to me if you're just a prisoner? It's none of your business how I discipline my own people."
Xiao Yunying staggered from the force of the push and had to grab the table next to her to steady herself.
The head jailer said to Liu Dalei, "Did she give you money? Take it out."
Liu Dalei hesitated for only a moment before being kicked again, and had no choice but to take out the two taels of silver that Xiao Yunying had just given him.

"Do you have any silver on you? Hand it over!"
Xiao Yunying was so angry she almost laughed: "I won't give it to you, are you trying to take it from me?!"
The head of the prison guards was enraged by her words and raised his hand to hit her: "You little slut, you're already here and you still want to throw a tantrum!"
Liu Dalei hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Boss, boss, you can't hit her! She hasn't been convicted yet. After all, she's the general's wife. The higher-ups said we can't use torture. If you slap her and General Luo finds out, what will you do if he retaliates against you?"
