Xie Ling saw what Gu Wei was thinking, pressed his hand, and whispered in his ear, "I'm here."
Gu Wei was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.
To outsiders, it seemed that Xie Ling just lowered her head to straighten Gu Wei's collar, which was very intimate.
All of this was seen by the girl in green skirt in the cell next door.
Her eyes were full of jealousy and she tugged at the hem of her skirt.
Pei looked at the arrogant jailer opposite her and sighed softly.
She relaxed her frown, straightened her back, and was about to speak when she saw her sick daughter-in-law walk to the front of the cell.
Xie Ling bowed first, then said in a clear voice: "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by the official, I do have something hidden."
Xie Ling took out two pieces of silver and a few pearl hairpins from the space with a painful look.
"Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, give me yours too."
Xie Ling turned around and pretended to grab the silver from Song and Pei's arms, but in fact she took it out from the space.
Putting the silver on the ground outside the cell, Xie Ling stood up and said slowly, "That's all the silver I have. Lord Gao checked it before I came to the prison. I really can't hide much."
The prison boss crossed his legs, enjoying the shoulder massage and leg beating from his men, while glancing at the ground. Yes, there were many more than he thought.
These ladies from aristocratic families would only cry when their property was raided. They would never think about hiding the silver. It was already good enough for them to have so much.
He knocked on the greasy table and said coldly, "Be smart and change your clothes for me."
Xie Ling shook her head. "You can change your clothes. Please take your people out and give us half a quarter of an hour."
The jailer clenched his hands instantly, picked up the whip beside him and hit the ground hard, making a loud noise and stirring up a cloud of dust.
I don't know what the whip was made of, but it was heavy, shiny black, and covered with barbs, black and red in patches, probably all of which were the prisoners' blood.
Everyone in the cell was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and the timid ones were already crying.
He said viciously: "Don't be so shameless and still think you are a young master or a young lady. If I ask you to change in front of me, then change in front of me."
Xie Ling was fearless, her eyes were cold, "Although I am a prisoner now, I am a legitimate young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion. My mother-in-law is the eldest daughter of the Qinghe Pei family, my father is an official tutor, and my sister-in-law is also the daughter of an honest family.
If you really want us to change clothes in front of you today, in order to preserve the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion Pei family, we will have no choice but to hit our heads against the pillar and die. I wonder if you can escape the Prime Minister's Mansion Pei family's pursuit by then?"
Seeing the prison boss's eyes becoming increasingly gloomy, Xie Ling smiled again and said, "I was just joking. It's okay if you don't mind it, sir."
As he spoke, Xie Ling knocked on the earthen wall beside him, and touched the iron pillar on the right, as if to see which one would be more likely to die.
The jailer was always afraid of Xie Ling's words, and was really afraid that these young ladies would die in prison because of their dignity.
It would be as easy for the Prime Minister's Office to kill him as it would be for an ant. If he doesn't die, he will be skinned alive.
He snorted coldly, threw down a few sets of clothes, turned around and led his subordinates away.
"Don't play tricks on me for half a minute, or I'll make you wish you were dead."
The jailer only left a few sets of clothes behind, and the rest were taken away by him, causing those women who wanted to change clothes at this moment to all look dejected.
Xie Ling took off Gu Wei's coat, and she and Gu Li each held one end, letting Song and Pei change first.
The prison uniform on the ground was very dirty and wrinkled. It was estimated that it had never been washed. I don’t know if it was taken off a dead person.
Pei was indeed a woman from a big family. She understood very well that one had to bow their heads under someone's roof. She put on the prison uniform with an expressionless face, leaving only a set of undergarments.
Song was a dull person by nature. She would do whatever she was told to do, like an expressionless puppet.
Ru Jieer pinched her nose and said, "What stinky clothes," but she obediently put on the prison uniform.
After the whole family had changed their clothes, there were still three or four sets of prison uniforms left. I guess the prison boss must have counted wrong.
After changing clothes, Pei pulled Xie Ling to the corner, rolled up her sleeves, and a golden light flashed.
Xie Ling opened her eyes wide. Pei actually had eight or nine gold bracelets on her arms. All of them were solid and looked heavy.
She whispered, "You are a sensible person. If it weren't for you, all these things of my mother-in-law would have been looted by the jailer. I took things too lightly. Now, what should I do with the bracelet on my arm?"
Xie Ling had always regarded her beautiful mother-in-law as a noble lady from an aristocratic family who was detached from the mundane world. It seemed that she had been wrong!
That's true. After all, Pei was the girl who had accompanied General Gu in his battles since she was young. How could she be a silly and innocent girl living in a mansion?
Song also came over and with a wooden face, she lifted up the huge bun on top of her head, revealing more than a dozen gold leaves wrapped inside!
Xie Ling understood. No wonder Song was so small but had to wear such a big bun!
Song whispered, "I sewed it into Rujie's hair bun as well."
Gu Li also came over and shyly opened his underwear, revealing a circle of ten thousand yuan silver bills stuck inside!
Ru Jie'er, who was originally hugging Xie Ling's thigh, quietly opened her chubby right hand, and inside it was a golden melon seed, which was sweaty and glistening with water.
Xie Ling took a breath of cold air. Could it be that the whole family is black lotus?
It's better this way, everyone has their own brains, and she doesn't like stupid people who hold her back.
Although she was surprised, Xie Ling's mind was working rapidly. She whispered, "Everyone else's is fine, but mother-in-law's is too obvious. It's not noticeable because she was wearing a wide-sleeved jacket and skirt. This prison uniform is too thin. How about we find a chance to put it on Gu Wei's hand quietly?"
