Chapter 528 You all think I'm lucky too
Ignoring the pain she was in from the fall, Madam Qi hurriedly got up and hugged her daughter's leg again, pleading, "Xuanxuan, don't go with him, I'm begging you, even if you stay in jail, it's better than going home with him! Xuanxuan, don't be foolish!"
Shen Mingxuan looked down at her, her face expressionless: "If you had admitted to killing him earlier and switched me out sooner, I might have listened to you."
"But you didn't. You're so heartless, sending your own daughter to jail in your place. I can never trust you again!"
“This prison is no place for a human being. I won’t stay here for even a day longer. Since you like it here, then stay here. I’m going back to live a good life with Yoo-hyuk.”
After she finished speaking, she forcefully pulled her leg out.
The jailer lazily came over, took out a key, opened the cell door, and then unlocked the shackles on Shen Mingxuan's hands and feet. He said in a sarcastic tone, "Miss Shen and Madam Shen are truly a loving mother and filial daughter. I, Old Wang, have been guarding the prison for so many years, and I have never seen such a good relationship between a mother and daughter. This time, I, Old Wang, have really broadened my horizons."
Shen Mingxuan's expression froze, but she dared not speak out and could only let the jailer mock her.
Whether in her past life or this one, she has suffered a lot in prison. These prison guards deal with all kinds of prisoners year-round and are extremely psychologically disturbed. It's best not to provoke them, otherwise you don't know what kind of retaliation you might suffer.
Just as she was frozen in place, not knowing what to do, Liao Youhe grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him, using his tall frame to completely shield her.
Shen Mingxuan heard him say in a slightly forceful tone, "Wang, don't bully my wife! She's innocent, but you arrested her and locked her up for over a month. She's become so thin and unrecognizable. I'm already being lenient by not holding you accountable. If you provoke me again, I won't be polite!"
The jailer sneered, "Oh, so you've managed to play the role of a good husband, and you're actually quite convincing! But you can fool others, you can't fool me, Old Wang. I've been through so much in this hell on earth, what kind of demons and monsters haven't I seen? You hypocrite, you think you can fool my discerning eyes? You'd better cultivate for two more lifetimes!"
Liao Youhe's expression was cold and stern. He snorted and took off his coat, draped it over the ragged Shen Mingxuan, then bent down, picked her up, and strode out.
Shen Mingxuan lay on his thin but warm back, and tears streamed down her face.
She hugged his neck tightly, her heart overflowing with emotion, and she couldn't even hear Qi calling her hoarsely from behind.
She pressed her face against Liao Youhe's back, choking back tears, and said, "Husband, I've finally overcome all my suffering. Why are you so good to me? Why are you protecting me like this? Why did you dare to confront that jailer for me? Am I dreaming?"
"It's not a dream, my wife. Don't worry, with me here, no one will be able to bully you in the future. I am your husband, if I don't treat you well, who will I treat well? I will always protect you."
As Liao Youhe spoke, he carried her out of the prison gate.
The scorching summer sun shone on Shen Mingxuan, radiant and warm, beautiful and dazzling.
Beneath her was Liao Youhe's strong back, and on her was Liao Youhe's floral-scented coat; she felt as if she were completely enveloped by him.
Shen Mingxuan's voice still carried a hint of hesitation: "Husband, are you really not angry with me? I still feel so unreal. I feel like you've suddenly become so much more loving towards me. Your mother was...you mean...?"
She cried and couldn't continue.
Liao Youhe's hoarse voice carried a gentle tone: "It's really not your fault. You were also a victim. Moreover, you put aside your own family and exposed your mother's crimes to the authorities, which is truly admirable. I'm grateful to you, so how could I blame you?"
“You’ve been wronged these past few days. You didn’t kill the person, but everyone thinks you did, including me.”
"Now that the truth is out, I feel guilty towards you, so I want to make it up to you."
"However, if you feel uncomfortable, we can still get along as before."
Shen Mingxuan hurriedly said, "No, this is fine! I like it this way, this is what a couple should be like!"
Liao Youhe's voice softened even more: "Alright, then I'll do as Madam says."
Shen Mingxuan burst into tears and laughter at the same time: "In this life, I, Shen Mingxuan, have finally made the right choice. I knew you were the most affectionate and righteous man in the world!"
Overjoyed, she couldn't resist turning Liao Youhe's head and giving him a big kiss on the cheek.
Liao Youhe did not resist, but where Shen Mingxuan could not see, a deep disgust flashed in his eyes. He almost vomited, but he managed to hold it in.
As he listened to Shen Mingxuan's incessant chatter on his back and felt her rubbing against him, his face darkened and turned icy.
Only after leaving the street where the prison was located and encountering passersby did he change into a gentle mask and carry Shen Mingxuan home.
"I didn't kill anyone!"
Upon seeing someone, Shen Mingxuan immediately shouted, "Hey, did you hear me? I didn't kill anyone!"
"Look, my husband personally came to pick me up and take me home! My husband loves me very much, he treats me very well!"
"If you knew how high a position he would become in the future, you would also think I'm lucky!"
Passersby stopped and stared at Shen Mingxuan, some in shock and others with mockery.
"Has this woman gone mad? Shouting and yelling like that, it's completely unbecoming!"
"Oh dear, she's been crazy for more than just a day or two. She keeps saying she's been reborn and can predict the future!"
"Tsk, with that kind of skill, he should have gone to the palace as a Taoist priest. How did he end up in jail? It's hilarious!"
"Liao Youhe is so pitiful. He's stuck with such a crazy woman who even caused his mother's death. It's a good thing he's so loyal and treats his wife so well."
Shen Mingxuan completely ignored the strange looks from others, and even felt a little proud when she heard others praising Liao Youhe for his loyalty.
Along the way, whenever she encountered someone, she would shout those words again.
She yelled and screamed, and was scolded for being unruly, but Liao Youhe didn't mind at all. He continued to carry her steadily forward.
Not only that, he also explained to everyone on her behalf: "My wife is innocent. She is actually very filial to my mother. She is a good daughter-in-law. All those things in the past were misunderstandings."
Liao Youhe even took a detour and walked several blocks to let more people see that he was carrying Shen Mingxuan home.
So, by the time the two of them got home, everyone in the capital already knew that Shen Mingxuan had been acquitted and released. Liao Youhe, the victim, disregarded past grievances and personally went to the prison to pick her up, carrying her home on his back. The couple were incredibly loving.
