Just as Xu Yuehuai had thought, after hearing those words, the jailer no longer dared to be arrogant towards Xu Yuehuai.
He immediately withdrew his hand, suppressed the anger on his face, and revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying as he stared at Xu Yuehuai.
"My dear Princess! I offended you just now. Please forgive my rudeness and release me immediately!"
The jailer quickly tried to reason with Xu Yuehuai, urging him to let go of him, since although Xu Yuehuai looked weak, he was quite painful to pull on.
Xu Yuehuai's dark eyes darted around, and she immediately said to the jailer, "I can let you go, but you have to bring me some daily necessities."
"If I get hurt here, I can't guarantee I won't say something I shouldn't."
Upon hearing this, the jailer's eyes flashed with a fierce glint, but with his life now in Xu Yuehuai's hands, he had no way to refute it.
He replied, "Alright! What do you want? Just tell me, and I'll prepare it for you right away!"
Xu Yuehuai smiled faintly, then immediately moved the jade hairpin away from the jailer's neck and patted the jailer's face.
"If you had listened to me earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this."
"Now that you've realized it, hurry up and do it!"
It's better to use your hands than your words! People like the jailer are so greedy. Even if Xu Yuehuai gave him the jade hairpin from her hair, he might not agree. Instead, he would find more excuses to refuse Xu Yuehuai in order to gain more benefits!
Xu Yuehuai's direct and violent treatment of the prison guards actually made him agree.
If Xu Yuehuai encounters this kind of person in the future, she will simply take action instead of using words!
Xu Yuehuai remembered this lesson and reflected on it carefully.
As soon as Xu Yuehuai released the jailer's hand, the jailer hurriedly ran out!
Xu Yuehuai hurriedly shouted into the back of the jailer, "You must keep your promise to me!"
The jailer ran even faster! He disappeared in the blink of an eye!
After Xu Yuehuai waited until no one was around, she suddenly felt extremely cold again. She rubbed her hands together and breathed on her palms to warm them up.
If Xu Yuehuai hadn't just argued with the jailer, she might be even colder now.
She shrank into a corner and waited for the jailer to bring the things over.
A small hole in the high wall lets in a sliver of moonlight.
The bright moonlight pierced through the cold space and fell on the cool ground.
Even just looking at that sliver of moonlight, Xu Yuehuai felt a chill creep up on her.
She waited in the prison for a long time, but the jailer never came to get anything for her.
Xu Yuehua couldn't help but wonder if the jailer had deceived her and escaped without even bringing the items back.
She watched as time passed little by little, and the direction in which the moonlight fell changed; a long time had already gone by.
Xu Yuehuai was gradually losing hope and had given up on the idea that the jailer would actually deliver the items.
Just as Xu Yuehuai was freezing cold and about to faint, she suddenly felt a dark shadow blocking her view.
Immediately, Xu Yuehuai opened her eyes and saw the jailer carrying a large pile of things, sneaking up to her.
"That's all. If you don't want it, I'll take it."
As the jailer spoke, he slipped the package he was holding through the gap in the cage.
Xu Yuehuai's body was a little stiff. She slowly stood up, without showing any abnormality, not wanting the jailer to think that she might not even have the ability to protect herself at this moment.
She stepped forward, bent down, and picked up the large package from the ground.
The package looked large, but it only contained some quilts and other items, and was very light. It weighed less than a few pounds when held in the hand.
Xu Yuehuai opened the package and was quite surprised to find some food inside.
She packed up the package and said to the jailer, "Okay, that's enough."
Upon seeing this, the jailer immediately turned and left.
After he walked a little further away, Xu Yuehuai was packing her things when she suddenly heard a voice from over there: "Pah! What bad luck!"
Xu Yuehuai shook his head helplessly and ignored the jailer.
Fortunately, the jailer was somewhat trustworthy and delivered all the items to Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai carefully spread out the quilt, making herself a warm little nest, and then curled up inside the quilt.
Her body gradually warmed up, and she finally got a good night's sleep in the prison.
When dawn broke, Xu Yuehuai woke up in the sunlight.
The ray of sunlight fell perfectly on Xu Yuehuai's face, which was truly a rare sight.
Xu Yuehua stretched and tidied up the few things around her.
She wondered if Chu Guangbai would come to rescue her after he learned that she was imprisoned.
Now, Xu Yuehuai can only hope that Chu Guangbai will come to save her because of the title bestowed upon Tianxiang Tower.
As she was thinking, her stomach suddenly started rumbling.
Xu Yuehuai hasn't eaten anything since being imprisoned yesterday.
She barely has the strength to shout anymore; her whole body aches terribly. Sleeping on the cold stone bed last night was extremely uncomfortable.
Xu Yuehuai stopped wasting her energy shouting and sat properly on the stone bed to meditate.
After a long time, it was almost noon, before someone came to bring Xu Yuehuai food.
"Hey!"
The jailer was the one who relayed Xu Yuehuai's message yesterday. When Xu Yuehuai saw him, she quickly called him down.
Did you help me pass on the message yesterday?
"How did that person reply to you?"
Xu Yuehuai hurriedly asked questions, carefully watching the jailer's every move.
The jailer frowned and then said, "I have already sent the message as you instructed."
"As for whether the owners of that house received the news, I don't know."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai immediately lost her composure and stood up.
"What? You didn't pass this message on to their master, but instead told his servants?"
If that servant concealed the news and didn't tell Chu Guangbai, wouldn't Xu Yuehuai have wasted all her efforts and so much money?
That's a lot of hard-earned money! How many pastries would she have to sell to save up that much?
She felt a pang of heartache and her face fell.
Xu Yuehuai stared intently at the jailer, demanding a definite answer!
