Chapter 313 In this world, some truths should never be known
Chu Ruohan looked at the surrounding environment and sneered in her heart.
In that case, she might as well take advantage of the situation.
"Okay, then I'll stay here for the time being."
Allen Chu slowly sat down on the bed, her hand stroking her bulging belly, "But I need paper and pen."
"Of course you can." Prisoner Wang nodded in agreement and turned to go out to prepare.
Chu Ruohan didn't hesitate and lay down on the bed to rest.
Since Gu Chengyan wanted to frame her, she would rather not go against him.
Not long after, Manager Wang came back with paper and pen and an old doctor.
After taking Chu Ruohan's pulse, the doctor prescribed several prescriptions to help her maintain her pregnancy.
"Mrs. Gu's pregnancy is stable, but she is uneasy. I suggest you get more rest and worry less." The old doctor put away the pulse pillow and gave instructions.
Chu Ruohan nodded in thanks. After everyone left, she picked up a pen and wrote a few letters, then gave them to jailer Wang to send out.
As night fell, Wang the jailer brought a sumptuous dinner and warm water for washing.
"Speaking of which, Madam Gu really makes me admire her." Prisoner Wang suddenly sighed.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Chu Ruohan raised her eyes and asked.
"When most people are put in a cell, they either cry loudly or curse."
"But Madam is so calm and composed, she can even rest peacefully. Such women are rare in the world."
Chu Ruohan smiled lightly: "There's no point in being anxious right now, it's better to conserve your energy and wait for the opportunity."
The head of the prison nodded in approval, "Madam, you are absolutely right."
"I have been guarding this prison for twenty years and have seen countless people come and go, but I have never seen anyone as calm as you, Madam."
"Prisoner Wang, you're too kind. Hasn't Prince Su already made all the arrangements? Why should I be afraid?"
Chu Ruohan sipped her tea and asked, "I wonder what's going on outside right now?"
"Well, it's strange." Prisoner Wang looked around and lowered his voice.
"I thought Mrs. Gu's detention would cause a huge uproar, but unexpectedly, everything outside is calm."
"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Ruohan's eyes.
"I heard that Master Chu stepped in and, somehow, managed to suppress all those rumors."
The head of the prison, Wang, was amazed. "It's really amazing that a mere businessman has such energy."
Chu Ruohan curled the corners of her lips slightly. Although the businessman did not have a high status, he had a wide network of contacts.
In this world, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished...
"Prisoner Wang, I want to see my father."
The jailer Wang looked embarrassed. "I'm afraid that won't work. Madam Gu's case is still pending, so it's inconvenient to meet with her."
"What about Lord Cheng? When will he hear my case?"
"This... I don't know either."
The jailer Wang shook his head. "But I heard the yamen is very busy lately. I'm afraid your case won't be heard for a while."
Chu Ruohan understood that this was a deliberate attempt to delay time.
As she had guessed, Prince Su did not really want to punish her.
Instead, he wanted to lock her up to prevent her from interfering.
The next morning, Chu Ruohan had just finished breakfast when the cell door was suddenly opened.
A familiar figure walked in slowly - it was Prince Su.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person." Chu Ruohan's face was calm, without any sign of panic.
Prince Su waved his hand to signal his attendants to retreat.
His eyes scanned the comfortably decorated cell and finally landed on Chu Ruohan.
"Are you used to living here?" He smiled slightly, his tone showing some concern.
"Thanks to your care, Your Highness, I am living very well."
Chu Ruohan said calmly, "I wonder what brings you here today, Your Highness?"
Prince Su sat down on the embroidered cushion, a gleam in his eyes.
"Sure enough, he's smart and gets straight to the point."
"I really want to know why the prince went to so much trouble to lock me up here."
Chu Ruohan looked him straight in the eyes, "If it's because of that old man's death, Your Highness knows full well that I am not to blame."
Prince Su chuckled lightly, "Madam Gu, you're too kind. I just learned about this matter and wanted to come and offer my condolences and see if I could be of any assistance."
"Your Majesty, you are truly troubled."
There was a sneer on Chu Ruohan's lips.
"I'm just curious, where did that old man who spread the rumors get those fabricated stories?"
Prince Su remained calm and said, "There are so many rumors in the world. Why take the nonsense of a confused drunkard seriously?"
"Yes," Chu Ruohan said slowly, "It's a pity that he died in such a strange way. I guess someone didn't want him to tell the truth."
Their eyes met, and invisible sparks seemed to burst out in the air.
"Mrs. Gu is worrying too much."
Prince Su stood up and straightened his robes. "In this world, some truths should never be known."
"Your Highness, you are wrong." Chu Ruohan raised her head slightly. "The truth is like the sun. No matter how it is concealed, it will always illuminate the earth one day."
"Then I'll wait and see."
Prince Su gave her a meaningful look and said, "Madam Gu, it's best for her to focus on her pregnancy now."
"As for the rest, leave it to us men."
"Your Highness wants me to rest here until Jun Ze returns to the capital?" Chu Ruohan revealed the secret.
Prince Su smiled without answering, turned around and was about to leave.
Before leaving, he seemed to remember something and turned back and said, "By the way, I have good news to tell you."
"I heard that Gu Junze is almost in the capital. Maybe he will be back in two or three days."
Chu Ruohan's heart was shocked, but she didn't show any expression on her face.
"Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty to give my regards."
"Sure." Prince Su nodded slightly, turned and left.
Chu Ruohan watched his back disappear outside the door, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Gu Chengyan's purpose is very clear. He wants to become the real King Su and take this opportunity to completely get rid of Gu Junze.
The purpose of locking her up was to prevent her from interfering.
While he was thinking, the cell door was pushed open again, and a familiar figure walked in quietly.
"Madam!" Qin Fang called in a low voice.
"Qin Fang!" Chu Ruohan stood up in surprise. "What's the news?"
"Good news!" Qin Fang lowered his voice, "We found the real murderer. The old man's wife admitted that she was the one who poisoned him!"
"What?" Chu Ruohan was incredulous. "Why would she want to harm her own husband?"
"The old man was addicted to gambling and often lost all his money. He also often beat his wife."
"His wife has long hated him to the core, and this time she took the opportunity to poison him, hoping to get rid of him once and for all."
Qin Fang explained, "And according to the old man's wife, someone did give her husband money to spread rumors in the restaurant."
"Who is it?" Chu Ruohan asked anxiously.
"It's a pity she didn't know. She said her husband only told her that a noble person had given her money, but he didn't say who it was."
Qin Fang shook his head. "However, we have asked her to write a confession. Tomorrow morning, someone will go to the government office and beat drums to protest and clear the lady's name..."
Chu Ruohan breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again.
"Prince Su won't let me go easily."
