Madam Ning was startled, trembling and turning over, she quickly took off the hairpin on her head and handed it over.
"Master, you can do this?"
Prefect Ning rolled his eyes at Madam Ning and said, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, have you seen a pig run?"
His family was poor when he was young, and he did go astray.
However, he was smart at the time and managed to escape perfectly, letting those people take the blame.
From the moment he passed the imperial examination, he did not keep these people alive, but tried to find a way to kill them.
He is going to be a high-ranking official. How can his life have any stains? He cannot allow anyone to threaten him.
Anyone who poses a threat to him should not exist.
Prefect Ning took the hairpin, bent over and approached the big lock of the cell door, inserted the hairpin into the keyhole, and listened carefully to the sound of the lock core with his ear tilted.
Madam Ning stood beside Prefect Ning, looking around nervously, worried that the jailer would suddenly come over.
"How's it going?!"
Mrs. Ning looked at the lock that she had been fiddling with for a long time but still couldn't open, and couldn't help but ask a question.
Prefect Ning glanced at Madam Ning and said, "Stop making noise."
Madam Ning pursed her lips and obediently closed them, looking at Prefect Ning and then at the gate.
My heart was beating fast and I was so nervous.
There was a "click" sound, and a smile appeared on the corner of Ning Zhifu's mouth.
“It’s open!”
My skills have become rusty. I used to be able to open a lock in three breaths, but now it takes me ten breaths to open it.
Prefect Ning pushed open the cell door and waved to Madam Ning.
"Walk!"
Madam Ning's face lit up with joy, and she followed with her heavy robe in hand.
The two men moved stealthily to the prison gate.
I walked so far from the cell to the prison gate, winding around and around, but I didn't even meet a jailer.
Prefect Ning frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
"You... go out first and lead them away."
Prefect Ning looked at Madam Ning and gave her a soft instruction.
Madam Ning's pupils trembled, and she looked at Prefect Ning in disbelief.
"You asked me to go out and lure them away. Are you planning to sacrifice me?"
"Do you have any conscience? If it weren't for my family..."
Prefect Ning frowned irritably, covered Madam Ning's mouth with his hand, and interrupted her nagging.
It’s true that his father-in-law’s family has helped him a lot, but every time he brings it up, he talks about it, and all the kindness he has shown him has been erased.
Could it be that he is of no help to his father-in-law's family?
If it weren't for his identity as a prefect, would his father-in-law's family be able to thrive in Menglan City?
If he hadn't supported the Fan family, why would so many aristocratic families in Menglan City give face to the Fan family?
The Fan family is just a merchant family, the lowest class in the Great Celestial Empire.
Yes, the Fan family contributed a lot of money to his promotion to the position of prefect.
But isn't it mutual?
Why does he always talk about the kindness the Fan family has shown him, but never mention the help he has given to the Fan family?
Magistrate Ning looked at Madam Ning's resentful eyes as she looked at him, and a murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
Madam Ning noticed the murderous intent that flashed in Magistrate Ning's eyes, and she paused and shut her mouth instantly.
Governor Ning gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "If you want to die, then make a scene. Don't go out. Just die here."
Madam Ning pushed the hand of Ning Zhifu away, tears glistening in her eyes, her lips trembling, and she choked with sobs.
"You...you and I have been married for so many years, are you really going to sacrifice me?"
It is said that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes.
She didn't believe this before and was very confident that her husband would not abandon her.
After all, she has her family's support behind her, and her husband's current achievements are inseparable from the support of the Fan family.
But now...
The slap in the face came so quickly. When something happened, her husband abandoned her and left her to bear the consequences.
Prefect Ning looked at Madam Ning speechlessly, put his hands on her shoulders, put his face in front of her, stared into her eyes, and said seriously,
"I'm not going to sacrifice you, I'm just asking you to lead the jailer away."
"Only in this way can I have a chance to escape and go to the capital to find someone to rescue you."
"Don't worry, I've observed for a few days, and those jailers are obviously villagers near Menglan City. The new recruits are very timid and dare not kill anyone."
Seeing that Madam Ning's expression had relaxed somewhat, Governor Ning continued,
"When they come after you, all you have to do is act like the prefect's wife, and those jailers won't dare touch you."
"Think about it, if no one distracts the jailers at the door, how can we escape?"
"Haven't you had enough of these days in the cell?"
Madam Ning's eyes shook slightly, and the tears in her eyes instantly burst out.
She sniffed her nose, raised her hand and wiped away her tears without any image, and raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"good....."
"I will obey my husband and distract the jailers."
"only....."
Madam Ning raised her hand and tightly grasped the hand of Ning Zhifu.
"Husband, you must come and save me. I'm waiting for you here."
"Also, our two children are still at my mother's house. If you have time, go and see how they are doing."
She didn't dare to bet that Magistrate Ning would save her because of their marital relationship.
She can only gamble with her child. For the sake of the child, she should be saved as a mother.
Fortunately, the children have been living with their mother since the drought.
Otherwise, if the children were also caught and thrown into the cell, she really couldn't bear it.
The well at my mother's house was deeper than the one in Ning Mansion, and there was more food, so the drought had almost no impact on the children's lives.
Since her parents took such good care of the two children, her husband shouldn't have abandoned her like this.
Ning Zhifu held Madam Ning's shoulders tightly with both hands and said seriously,
"Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I will definitely protect you."
"The children are still young and cannot leave their mother's care."
"Madam, you have to believe me. We have been married for many years. How could I abandon you?"
Ning Zhifu sighed helplessly.
"But in the current situation, Madam must help me escape, only then will we have a future."
"Otherwise, you'll be trapped here and die."
"Shen Yong will definitely be defeated if he attacks the capital. When he retreats to Menglan City, it will be difficult for us to escape."
"Those rebels will definitely find someone to vent their anger on after their defeat. Madam, who do you think they will vent their anger on?"
Prefect Ning stared at Madam Ning, feeling extremely anxious, but maintaining composure on the surface.
He is too soft-hearted. It's really a waste of time for him to talk so much nonsense at this time.
If we delay any longer, it will be more difficult for them to escape.
If a jailer comes in at this time, it will be all over.
