Old Madam Niu simply ignored the steamed bun. No matter how hungry she was, she couldn't eat anything that fell on it.
I turned around and saw the steamed buns in my daughter-in-law's arms.
She immediately ran to her daughter-in-law, gritted her teeth, and took half a multi-grain steamed bun from Mrs. Niu.
After grabbing it, she quickly stuffed it into her mouth.
"Pah~~ Why is it sour!"
After taking a big bite, Mrs. Niu's brows frowned instantly. She bent down and spit out the bun in her mouth with force.
She brought the steamed bun to her nose and smelled it, with a look of disgust on her face.
"Why are you giving us rotten steamed buns?"
Old Madam Niu roared hoarsely, and angrily threw the rotten steamed bun on the ground, then turned around to rummage through the bucket at the cell door.
“Ugh~~”
When Mrs. Niu smelled the manure in the bucket, she couldn't help but dry heave.
"This is not food for human beings."
"How can anyone abuse others like this? What a bunch of black-hearted people."
Old Madam Niu cursed under her breath.
After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the half rotten steamed bun, held it in her hand, and hesitated to put it in her mouth.
The Xiao family members looked at each other and sighed with worry on their faces.
If things continue like this, they can't hold out for one day, or two or three days...
Meng Zhuang was obviously targeting the Xiao family. Even if they took out the silver at this time, it probably wouldn't have any effect, and might even cause trouble.
Lin Yiran pretended to follow everyone and stuffed the grass roots into her mouth. The moment she put them in, the grass roots had been collected into the space.
To be honest, in this prison cell environment, she would find it hard to swallow even the most delicious food.
She didn't know if it was because of the powerful pills she had taken, but she didn't feel hungry at all.
After the concubines of the Niu family finished eating the only two rotten steamed buns in a noisy manner, no one touched the bucket of sewage.
The stale steamed buns were also very difficult for them to swallow, but because there were so many people, each person only got a piece as big as a finger, so they could swallow it with their eyes closed.
After eating, the Niu family members were so tired that they lay on the ground and fell asleep one after another.
After the Xiao family swallowed the grass roots with difficulty, they all focused their attention on Xiao Yunzhan.
Old Madam Xiao reached out and touched Xiao Yunzhan's face with a worried look on her face, and checked his breath.
Her breathing was still normal, and Madam Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
She frowned and looked at Xiao Yunzhan's back. The bloodstains on his snow-white pajamas were soaked with sweat, and he was dizzy. He didn't know if the wounds had become infected due to the sweat...
"Turn your backs, let me take a look at Yun Zhan's wound."
Old Madam Xiao glanced at her daughters-in-law. After all, they were uncle and sister-in-law, so she still had to be careful.
The three sisters-in-law nodded, pulled the two children, and turned their backs together.
They surrounded Xiao Yunzhan and raised their hands to swat away the mosquitoes and flies flying around.
Seeing Madam Xiao's trembling hands, Lin Yiran quickly spoke,
"Mother, let me take a look. When I treated the wound last night, I used more medicine. Maybe the wound has healed now."
The wound on her forehead has completely healed, and Xiao Yunzhan's is probably not much worse.
This guy didn't make a sound the whole way, he was quite patient.
Xiao Yunzhan's ears moved slightly, and there was no one monitoring him in the cell.
There seemed to be several breathing sounds of varying depths outside the wall, probably from the officers on duty.
A master of the Imperial Guard wouldn't breathe so heavily.
The smell in the cell was so bad that the police were too lazy to come in and check.
With no one watching him, he felt a little more relaxed.
Madam Xiao withdrew her trembling hands, looked at Lin Yiran and nodded slightly.
"My dear daughter, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Yiran smiled and reached out to pull Xiao Yunzhan's clothes.
Just when Lin Yiran's hand touched Xiao Yunzhan's clothes, Xiao Yunzhan moved slightly.
When Old Madam Xiao saw Xiao Yunzhan move, she burst into tears of joy, "Yunzhan, Yunzhan, you are finally awake."
When the three sisters-in-law heard Mrs. Xiao's cry, they all turned their heads and looked over, and whispered excitedly,
"Fourth brother!"
Although everyone was very excited, they all kept their voices low, fearing that their loud voices would attract the police.
Xiao Yunzhan moved his head slightly, frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Madam Xiao with guilt in his eyes.
"Mother, your son is unfilial and has caused you..."
"Yunzhan!" Old Madam Xiao's lips trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, and she interrupted Xiao Yunzhan.
"You did nothing wrong. A man from my Xiao family stands upright between heaven and earth. What could be wrong with me?"
"The ones who are wrong are those things that are not worthy of being on the table. They are a bunch of rats in the gutter. They won't be able to jump around for long."
Madam Xiao raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Lie down and let your wife see your wound."
"By the way, this is your wife, Lin Yiran, the one the late emperor granted you."
Madam Xiao took Lin Yiran's arm, smiled with tears in her eyes and said to Xiao Yunzhan,
"Lin has been carrying you all the way here, so you must treat her well."
Xiao Yunzhan's eyelids trembled slightly, and his eyes fell on Lin Yiran's face, with only a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
"Thank you, you've worked hard."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yunzhan lowered his eyelids to hide the inquiry in his eyes.
He knew exactly what happened along the way.
But he really couldn't understand why Lin Yiran treated him like this.
How can people suddenly be nice to others for no reason?
Especially in all these years, he never mentioned the marriage in the Lin family.
