As the daughter of a county magistrate, no one dared to mistreat her, even in prison. Naturally, the oil lamp in her cell was brighter than others.
As they got closer, Bai Yun finally saw a trace of blood on Su Ruanruan's body. The bloodstain was accidentally left when she threw the dagger, but Bai Yun didn't know that.
"Tsk tsk, who beat you up this time? You're so useless, getting beaten up again before your old wounds have even healed? You're really something!" Bai Yun teased.
Su Ruanruan didn't even glance at her. "That's right. Unlike some people who are so lucky, living such a comfortable life here with the sky as their blanket and the earth as their bed."
She sat on a pile of hay, closing her eyes to rest.

He didn't know who was spreading rumors outside that Ruan Ruan had killed someone, but when he arrived at the yamen, he found out that it wasn't that serious, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the first time Su Ruanruan had seen Mu Bai blush before. At that moment, his fair cheeks were tinged with anger, and his eyes held a hint of heartache as he looked at her.
