Thinking of what he saw in the prison cell today, Jiang Li almost couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.
Beside the five unconscious people, there were several empty chains left behind, obviously all the people who were trapped there before had died.
This time when she left Beijing, she and Gu Qingchen were in a hurry to go to Mi River and could not stay there for too long, so they had to find out the problem of the County Magistrate's Mansion as soon as possible. In this way, when Gu Qingchen had made arrangements, they could strike at once.
Outside the door.
Bai Zhi listened attentively to the voice inside and sighed, "Princess, you always say that life is unpredictable. It is indeed so."
Mo Qi held the sword, half leaning against the wall pillar, looking puzzled.
Bai Zhiqing said, "Look, the man the princess brought back is as handsome as Pan An, but it's a pity that he became her lover in order to save her brother. It's a pity."
"As handsome as Pan An?" Mo Qi's face darkened when he saw Bai Zhi peeking in from time to time. "In my opinion, he's just a facade with nothing to show for it!"
"How can you talk like that?" Bai Zhi was angry.
Mo Qi snorted, "That's how it is. There are thousands of ways to save people, but he insists on sacrificing himself. Isn't that stupid!"
Bai Zhi glared at Mo Qi fiercely, "Forget it, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
"Hey, you, why are you so angry when everything is fine..."
Mo Qi really didn't understand why Bai Zhi's expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to persuade her, he saw his prince coming back from the side door. His robe was tightly wrinkled, and it was obvious that he had not had a good rest since he left last night.
"Is the princess in there?"
Seeing Mo Qi, Gu Qingchen asked hurriedly.
Before Mo Qi could finish his reply, the man pushed the door open and walked in. When Gu Qingchen thought of Jiang Li breaking into the county magistrate's mansion alone, his heart was in his throat all day. How could he feel at ease if he didn't see with his own eyes that the person was fine?
"Bang--"
As the door opened, the man and woman in the room looked over.
There was a pen and paper in the woman's hand, and it was obvious that the two of them had been chatting about something. There was already a lot of paper piled up on the side, and it could be seen that the two of them seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.
The man, who was originally in a good mood, for some reason, paused when he saw this scene, and inexplicable emotions surged in his dark eyes.
Fortunately, the next moment——
"Husband, you're back."
The first words Jiang Li said when she looked up made Gu Qingchen's jealousy disappear instantly.
Before Gu Qingchen could speak, Hua Wenxuan recognized the man in front of him as the one who had tried to rescue him last night. Seeing the man's reaction, Hua Wenxuan seemed to have thought of something. With a slight smile on his face, he whispered a few words to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and seeing Hua Wenxuan's resolute look, her face turned red. She stood up and walked to Gu Qingchen, then took a deep breath, stretched out her little hand, placed it on his palm, and then interlaced their fingers.
While pulling him, she said softly, "Come here quickly and see who I brought back! Just tell me, am I awesome?"
After saying that, he gently shook his arm, as if asking for a reward.
It was the first time he saw Jiang Li like this. Looking at the girl's smiling face, his ears turned slightly red and his heart suddenly felt like fireworks bursting.
However, when he thought of the reaction after he pushed the door open just now, the man's usually deep black eyes flickered with a few traces of helpless shame and anger.
After a moment of silence, he responded, "...Amazing."
Jiang Li coughed lightly, and quickly led the person to sit at the table. She then told Bai Zhi and Mo Qi to go to the restaurant to buy some dinner, and then began to tell Gu Qingchen about her "heroic deeds" in the County Magistrate's Mansion today.
Although he concealed the fact that he had emptied the treasury of the county governor's mansion of precious materials and medicines, he still shocked the two people in front of him when he talked about how he had deceived the housekeeper and Huang Shurong.
Gu Qingchen stared at Jiang Li's beaming face, and something in his heart moved. He remembered what Jiang Li had told him last night, "Listen to me, we'll split up. Gu Qingchen, remember, I'm not a dodder that depends on you. I want to be your comrade-in-arms, a comrade you can trust with your back!"
Gu, Qing, Chen, he still can't forget the palpitation he felt when he heard the name called out by the woman last night for the first time.
"Is that okay?"
After Jiang Li finished explaining her entire plan, she saw Gu Qingchen staring at her silently, so she raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
Gu Qingchen finally woke up as if from a dream and nodded, "I have already made all the arrangements. If nothing unexpected happens, the people you mentioned will arrive the day after tomorrow morning."
After hearing this, no matter how stupid Hua Wenxuan was, he knew that the two people in front of him were people of status. Since they were unwilling to say more, he pretended not to know.
Therefore, he simply lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times. "Wenxuan, on behalf of my brother and those who were harmed by the County Magistrate's Office, thanks you two for saving my life. After rescuing my brother, even if you want to kill me, I am willing to gouge out my heart to serve you."
He looked like a well-mannered scholar, but he had such a fearless expression. This made Jiang Li laugh and said, "Sir, there's no need to be like this. We don't want your life or your heart. But, I just heard you say that before the accident, your family was in the medicinal materials business?"
Hua Wenxuan didn't know what Jiang Li meant by this, so he just said, "My grandfather knew a little about growing medicinal herbs, but later on, my father was framed while practicing medicine, and the family property was taken away. My brother was arrested while he was seeking justice for my father."
"Then do you also know something about medicinal herb cultivation?"
Hua Wenxuan nodded.
Jiang Li clapped her hands, "That's great! When this is over, I really need your help."
Jiang Li's eyes were genuinely enthusiastic, and Hua Wenxuan wasn't sure what he was going to do. However, since it involved medicinal herb cultivation, it was certainly one of his strengths. Thus, his uneasiness faded considerably, and he simply waited for his benefactor's instructions.
