Unable to beat Xiao Yunying, the prison guard chief could only vent his anger on Liu Dalei.
She raised her hand and slapped Liu Dalei hard on the head; Xiao Yunying felt pain just from hearing the sound.
Liu Dalei lowered his head and endured it, but still said, "This girl really shouldn't be hit, boss, don't be angry."
The head jailer shoved him: "Let go, do you hear me? Let go right now."
Once Liu Dalei released her, the head jailer said to Xiao Yunying, "Give me how much silver you have left."
Xiao Yunying wasn't going to put up with him: "No! You've already taken so many silver notes from my family, isn't that enough? Be careful you don't live to spend them."
Enraged, the head jailer grabbed Xiao Yunying by the collar and pulled her forward, saying, "You bitch, do you think you can get out of here alive? You've committed a capital offense. You can't spend the money you're keeping. You might as well give it to me."
As he spoke, he reached out his other hand into her arms.
Xiao Yunying was faster than him, raising her hand and slapping him: "Don't touch me with your claws!"
The head jailer was stunned for a moment, then shoved her out forcefully.
"You son of a bitch, you dare hit me!"
Xiao Yunying was pushed again and staggered a few steps, hitting her lower back on the corner of the table, which caused her a sharp pain.
She bit her lip to swallow a muffled groan, then, glancing at the food box on the table, she grabbed it with both hands and threw it forcefully at the other person's head.
"You dishonest bastard, you took so many silver notes from my family but did nothing of value. You even skimped on your food. Aren't you afraid of choking to death?"
Just as she said, she has always been the type to respond better to gentle persuasion than force.
Being suppressed by imperial power was already frustrating enough, but now even a lowly jailer wanted to bully her.
From being forced to kneel by the Empress Dowager, to being chased and killed, forced to jump off a cliff, having her secret discovered by Luo Sheng, to now being imprisoned, she has accumulated too many negative emotions such as grievances, panic, anxiety, and irritability.
She no longer wanted to hold back; her uncontrollable anger erupted. She stopped thinking about the consequences and just wanted to vent her rage.
The head jailer blocked the food box with his hand, avoiding hitting his head, but the food spilled out, and some soup splashed onto his arm.
Xiao Yunying tried to hit him with a stool, but he grabbed her wrist.
She took the opportunity to slap him again.
As if only now realizing what was happening, Liu Dalei grabbed the other arm of the prison guard chief: "Boss, you can't hit her. Think of General Luo, she hasn't been convicted yet."
The head jailer was furious and kicked him away, saying, "Is that all you ever say? Get out of here."
Xiao Yunying tried to pull her arm away, but she was no match for his strength. She could only give him a disdainful look and say, "You brainless idiot."
She realized that this person truly believed she had poisoned the Empress Dowager and that she would definitely be convicted, which was why he dared to treat her this way.
The thing stuck between the man's ears is unknown. Doesn't he realize that if this were true, why would they only arrest him and why would they lock him up here?
If this were truly to be investigated, the person would have been imprisoned in the capital's jail long ago.
The head jailer gripped Xiao Yunying's wrist tightly, but ultimately hesitant to actually hit her, fearing Luo Sheng's status and wanting to leave himself an escape route. He called over the jailers who were still in a daze: "What are you standing there for? You two come and hold her down."
Two jailers hesitated before grabbing Xiao Yunying's arms. The jailer leader touched his face and said, "This little wench is pretty ruthless. Believe me or not, I'll take care of you right now."
Xiao Yunying looked at him coldly: "Do you believe that even if I die, I can take you down with me?"
"Alright, you're pretty stubborn. No wonder you managed to get Ma Lao Er into trouble. I hope you can stay this stubborn."
After saying that, she turned to the two jailers holding her and said, "Bring her here."
Xiao Yunying was forced to follow him into the torture chamber deep inside the prison.
The environment here was even colder and more gloomy, with all sorts of torture instruments laid out around her. Whether it was psychological or real, she seemed to smell a faint scent of blood in the air.
Xiao Yunying suppressed her unease and told herself to stay calm and see what the other party was up to.
To her surprise, the head of the prison guards did not torture her directly, but instead pulled over a chain hanging from the top of the cell and wrapped it around her neck.
The head jailer hung the key on the wall, signaling to the guards that they could release her.
Xiao Yunying tugged at the chain around her neck: "What do you want to do!"
The head jailer circled her once: "The higher-ups specifically ordered that you not be tortured, but there are plenty of ways to torment a person. Even without torture, I can make you suffer to the fullest."
He told the other guards, "From now on, no one is allowed to put her down without my permission. Whatever she wants to do, she can do it standing here."
One of the jailers asked instinctively, "What about sleeping?"
He glared at the jailer: "Let her sleep standing up!"
Xiao Yunying laughed in anger: "Aren't you afraid I'll get revenge on you after I get out?"
The head jailer laughed: "You wish! You plotted to murder the Empress Dowager and think you can get out alive?"
"Alright, alright." Xiao Yunying nodded with a smile: "I hope you can be just as arrogant towards me as you are today in the future."
"Girl, please don't say anything." Liu Dalei said anxiously from the side, "Boss, she doesn't know how to talk, don't take it to heart with a girl."
The head jailer raised his hand as if to hit someone, but then withdrew it when he realized it was too far away: "Why are you always defending her? Did she give you some other benefits?"
Liu Dalei hurriedly denied it, saying, "No way, boss, I already handed over the money she gave me to you."
The head jailer looked at Liu Dalei suspiciously and warned him, "If you dare to secretly let her down, I'll deal with you!"
He walked around Xiao Yunying again, seemingly still worried, and took the key off the wall, deliberately waving it in front of Xiao Yunying before putting it in his pocket.
"Let's go, let's go eat."
Xiao Yunying watched them gradually walk away. Liu Dalei, worried about her, kept turning back and slowed down, and was kicked by the prison guard chief.
She closed her eyes, and her stubbornness resurfaced.
So what if she's standing? She doesn't believe that if she really can't stand up, that bastard will let her hang herself here.
But expecting her to beg for mercy is absolutely impossible.
Once I get out of here, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!
