Chapter 265 Prison Cell
As soon as Die'er finished speaking, Luo Yiwan roared, "That's just nonsense!"
Die'er outside was caught off guard and startled when she heard her voice.
After recovering, he said in a crisp voice, "Every word I said is true. If there is even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
Luo Yiwan stood up, and this time Wuhua didn't stop her. She rushed out directly.
"Even if you swear on the lives of your entire family, what you say is still a lie. To justify your own murder, you actually accuse me of murder. How shameless!"
Dier met her angry gaze without fear.
"The court doctor has the pulse record. I wonder if I saw Mi'er on the day she died. Did he suggest I use the first bucket of well water to mix the medicine? We'll know once we check."
Luo Yiwan sneered: "Even if you really saw the court doctor that day, it doesn't prove that you have been to Bamboo Garden."
"It doesn't prove that I went to the Bamboo Garden," Die'er replied, "but at least it proves that it's possible for me to go there. The maids in the courtyard all know that you left the courtyard alone at that time."
Luo Yiwan was about to retort when Feng Qingsui emerged from the small room and said to the two jailers, "It's getting late. Let's retry the case tomorrow."
The two jailers nodded and said, "Okay."
He immediately untied Dier and took her out of the torture room.
Butterfly's father and mother were also taken away.
Feng Qingsui looked at Luo Yiwan and asked, "Do you want to stay in the Dali Temple or return to the Duke's Mansion?"
Luo Yiwan almost blurted out "go back home", but she almost stopped herself when she remembered that there was a concubine Zhuang in the mansion.
"I want to go back to Cheng'en Marquis Mansion."
She replied.
Feng Qingsui smiled and said, "There is no option for the Cheng'en Marquisate."
Luo Yiwan: “…”
Isn't it obvious that they want to keep her in Dali Temple?
Why!
She gritted her teeth and said aggrievedly: "I'll stay in Dali Temple."
Feng Qingsui handed her over to the prison warden.
The warden said, "Madam, we only have a large cell here, so we can only send you there to rest. Don't worry, we've arranged a solitary cell for you. It's very clean, and there are no cockroaches, rats, or fleas."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned cockroaches, rats and fleas, but as soon as he mentioned Luo Yiwan, goosebumps broke out all over his body.
"I am a quasi-first-rank lady after all. Can't you arrange for me to stay somewhere else? Even if I have to stay in your court for one night, it will be fine."
The warden shook his head and said, "The court can only be used when the court is in session."
Luo Yiwan's face darkened.
"Didn't you also take my eldest sister-in-law to the Dali Temple? Where is she staying?"
The warden replied, "She's in solitary confinement too. The cell assigned to you is right next to hers."
Luo Yiwan; “!!!”
Wouldn't she have to face that crazy woman Shen all night?!
Oh my god.
She would rather go back to the Shangguo Mansion than stay in the Dali Temple cell and spend the night face to face with Shen.
She gathered all the people in her courtyard and surrounded her. She didn't believe that Aunt Zhuang could still harm her life.
However, after hearing her request for a change, the warden said expressionlessly, "We are only responsible for taking you to the cell. If you want to return home, you must find Madam Feng."
"Where is Mrs. Feng?"
"I just left Dali Temple. I might come here tomorrow."
“…”
Even though Luo Yiwan was extremely reluctant, she was still taken to the solitary confinement cell.
The solitary cell was only four or five square meters in size, and apart from a small opening on the door for delivering food, it didn't even have a window.
There was only a simple wooden bed in the room, with a straw mat on it and a black quilt on top. There was a toilet at the end of the bed.
Before entering, Luo Yiwan smelled the smell of urine.
His face turned blue.
"I'm not going in. Just bring a stool over and I'll sit at the door."
The warden said, "Although we rarely have prisoners escaping from prison or prison break-ins, there is always a chance of something happening. If you sit at the cell door and a serious prisoner escapes or a robber breaks in, wouldn't you be wasting your life?"
Luo Yiwan: “…”
She bit her lip, looked towards the cell next door, and asked, "Does my eldest sister-in-law really live here?"
The warden nodded.
As if guessing what she was worried about, he added, "Don't worry, the walls of the solitary cell are specially made, so you won't be able to hear any sound."
"Can't you hear the neighbors pounding on the wall?"
"Yes."
Luo Yiwan felt a little relieved.
It’s okay without the Shen family disturbing us.
She closed her eyes, opened them, gritted her teeth, and walked into the solitary cell.
The warden said "good night" and closed the door, locked it from the outside, and even pulled up the small opening in the door through which food was delivered.
Just as the warden had said, there was no sound at all in the room. Luo Yiwan stood there for a moment to adjust to the situation before walking towards the narrow wooden bed.
Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly remembered the cockroaches, rats and fleas mentioned by the prison warden, and immediately stood up again.
The quilt on the bed is a mess, who can guarantee that there are no fleas?
But there was not even a chair in the room, and she couldn't stand there all the time. After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and lifted the corner of the quilt.
I shook it slightly, but nothing came out.
She held her breath and folded the quilt, then picked up the straw mat and shook it a few times. Seeing that there was indeed no dirt, she spread it back and sat down with peace of mind.
As I sat down, the smell of urine became stronger.
She glanced at the toilet at the end of the bed with disgust, regretting that she should have asked the warden to take it out.
Now I can’t throw it away even if I want to.
I had to take out a handkerchief from my arms and cover my nose.
The handkerchief had been fumigated and exuded the scent of jasmine. She smelled it for a while and felt better.
She was the one who personally prepared today's first birthday party. She got up before dawn and was kept at bay by Feng Qingsui and Ji Changqing because her plot against Qi Shi failed. She had no rest the whole day.
I was poisoned by charcoal after falling asleep. Now, when I sit down, my eyelids feel like they are covered with glue and can't stop sticking together.
"Forget it, let's go to sleep."
She thought to herself.
Don’t think about anything when you fall asleep, everything will be fine when you wake up.
Then he lay down on his side.
The cool straw mat drove away a lot of sleepiness, but she endured it. Her body gradually relaxed and her sleepiness became deeper and deeper.
Half asleep and half awake, she suddenly heard the baby's giggling sound in her ears. She was startled and opened her eyes suddenly.
But he found the room was pitch black.
The oil lamp on the wall went out at some point.
"Someone! Someone come quickly! The lights are out!"
She shouted towards the door in panic.
No one responded.
She suddenly realized.
If the walls of this cell can block out all sounds from the outside world, wouldn't they also be able to block out her voice?
Isn't it like she is crying out to heaven and earth but no one is helping her?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, her panic doubled. She bent down to pick up her shoes, put them on hurriedly, walked to the door in the dark, and knocked hard.
"Someone! Light a lamp for me!"
Only her voice echoed in the room.
She pounded until her hands were numb, but still no one showed up.
The baby's laughter came into my ears again.
As I laughed, it turned into a sharp cry.
It instantly brought her back to the moment when the needle was inserted into Shangchen's fontanelle.
"Shut up!"
She covered her ears tightly.
"Shut up!"
The crying sound still filled my ears like a devil's voice.
Just when she was almost driven crazy by the crying of the baby, Shang Zhichun was also in trouble in Duke Shang's Mansion.
