"yes!"
In prison.
"Why does the plaintiff's story keep changing?" Inside the prison, Jiang Sanniang was still locked up with Bai Nuo. Hu Mingmei and the others were separated from them after they entered the prison.
As soon as Bai Nuo and the other person entered, Constable Cheng Hu locked the door. Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang San Niang asked softly.
She could see clearly that the plaintiff originally didn't want to say that, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his mind.
That's why such a dramatic scene occurred.
Bai Nuo shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. Looking at Jiang San Niang's tired face, she asked softly, "Are you tired?"
Jiang San Niang nodded. She hadn't rested well all day, so how could she not be tired?
"How about we take a break?"
“Where can I sleep?” Jiang San Niang said with a bitter smile. “It’s cold and smelly here. As soon as I close my eyes, all I hear is the wailing and howling of those people at the door. To be honest, even when my parents passed away and my uncles came to rob us, I never suffered like this.”
I don't know what bad luck I've had this year, I've encountered all sorts of misfortunes. On my wedding day, I was attacked by assassins, and before the three days were even over, I was dragged into the prison for a visit.
"Don't worry too much!" Bai Nuo comforted her. "You're pregnant, Lord Li won't do anything to you! During the time you're giving birth, Hu Mingmei and the others will definitely find a way to get us all out!"
"I hope so!" Jiang San Niang said.
"Come and rest for a while!" Bai Nuo helped Jiang San Niang to the wall, where they leaned against it and dozed off. Fortunately, Li Jinyu brought them blankets and cloaks, so they were relatively comfortable in the cold prison cell.
As for why the plaintiff changed his story and spoke inconsistently, it was because Bai Nuo saw Hu Mingmei tamper with the plaintiff's lower back. Hu Mingmei's tampering was very subtle. If Hu Mingmei hadn't deliberately let Bai Nuo know, Bai Nuo wouldn't have noticed, let alone anyone else.
Therefore, Bai Nuo believed that Hu Mingmei would definitely keep everyone at peace.
Originally, Bai Nuo wanted to tell Jiang San Niang this to put her mind at ease, but thinking that there might be eavesdroppers, Bai Nuo kept quiet.
Hehehe!
Bai Nuo was exhausted that day. Thinking of Hu Mingmei made her feel at ease, so she didn't feel uncomfortable in the prison with the warm clothes. She leaned against the wall next to Jiang Sanniang and fell asleep. In her half-asleep state, she suddenly heard someone laughing beside her. She opened her eyes abruptly and saw a strange man smiling at her.
That smile was chilling, and those eyes looked like they were sizing up prey, as if they wanted to devour you.
Jiang San Niang also woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a man in front of her, smiling at her in a terrifying way.
She was terrified and instinctively wanted to scream, but she was afraid that screaming would anger him, so she held back and squeezed Bai Nuo's hand hard where the man couldn't see her to calm herself down.
"Two beautiful girls!" The man seemed very happy. Looking at the two of them, he swallowed hard and said excitedly, "It's been a long time since such beautiful girls have come to this prison!"
"Hey!" Sometime during the night, another prisoner appeared in the room next to theirs. This prisoner, clearly having heard the commotion, gripped the bars with both hands and pressed his face against them, excitedly saying, "Old Li, you're in luck! These two girls are quite nice. I heard there's a pregnant woman in there too. Open the door and let me in!"
"Get out of here!" Old Li said irritably. "How could I let you defile the person I've set my sights on? Get the hell out of here, or I'll gouge your eyes out!"
This old Li had a fierce and menacing appearance. When she spoke harshly, she was like a devil. The person who spoke to her was instinctively afraid and mumbled something as they shrank back.
Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang exchanged a glance. To Old Li, their fearful expressions were truly pleasing to the eye. Their terror amused him. That's it, be afraid, be afraid, the more afraid you are, the more fun it is.
Bai Nuo calmly looked at Old Li and asked softly, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"I'm just like you!" Old Li laughed. "As for why I'm here, little beauty, have you gone mad from being in jail? Someone must have opened the door for me!"
Bai Nuo's heart sank. Who on earth wanted to kill them? Not only did they go to great lengths to arrange an assassination, but they also bribed the prison warden.
"Come on, enough with the nonsense, let's make tonight our wedding night!" Old Li grinned lewdly, rubbing his hands as he approached them.
"Wait a minute!" Bai Nuo quickly reached out to stop Lao Li's actions!
"What?" Old Li raised an eyebrow in displeasure. "What else do you want to say? Let me tell you, even if you want to, you have to follow me. If you don't want to, the result will be the same. I advise you to behave yourself, so you don't suffer a lot later."
"It's not that I'm unwilling!" Bai Nuo looked at Jiang San Niang, then smiled at Lao Li, "It's just that what that brother said earlier is right, my sister is indeed pregnant. She's suffered a lot since she came in yesterday. So, I was thinking, could you let me go first, and then try to let my sister off the hook and make her suffer less?"
