He could only beckon Huo Yan to follow.
Once outside the cell, he said, "You have no idea when you lost that thing, and besides, I believe Miss Ruanruan didn't take it either. Let's compromise. I'll make up for whatever the gem is worth!"
Huo Yan looked him up and down. That look sent chills down Bai Bai's spine; he knew the other was on the verge of exploding, but he still tentatively asked, "Is it feasible?"
But after waiting for a long time, all I got in return was a dismissive remark from the other party.
"She's very important to you?"
Bai Bai was puzzled by the question, but still nodded, "Mm."
Huo Yan turned to look at Niu Mang, who was standing at the cell door. Niu Mang quickly strode over.
He carried Bai Bai outside. Bai Bai couldn't break free of the restraints and looked back at Huo Yan with a question mark on his face.
All I heard was, "Coincidentally, that gem is also very important to me."
Huo Yan intended to leave, but inexplicably turned back. He still wanted to ask her again where she had hidden his gemstone.
Su Ruanruan stood in the corner, holding the oil lamp that emitted a yellowish light in her hands.
Before he could even speak, she gave a bitter smile.
"I heard everything you said, why doesn't anyone believe me?"
Perhaps I lost that gem by accident, but I can't compensate you for it. You said it was very important to you, but what if I gave up my most important thing in return? Would that even things out?
Huo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing that she didn't seem to be wealthy, so she probably didn't have anything important.
He couldn't help but shake his head. "What trick are you planning to pull now?"
Su Ruanruan covered her lower body with a thin blanket and put one hand under the blanket.
She bit her lip tightly, her brow furrowed slightly, and then she clenched her teeth. In no time, the hand was pulled out from under the covers, the raised middle finger stained with blood.
"The virgin blood, can it neutralize it?"
Huo Yan's pupils dilated sharply; he hadn't expected her to say...
When I saw her tightly pursed lips and the tears welling up in her eyes, I felt inexplicably uneasy.
Su Ruanruan straightened her dress and stood up.
"Sir, are you satisfied? May I leave now?"
"roll!"
Huo Yan clenched his fist and saw the bloodstains on her clothes more clearly.
Does she not know how important a woman's chastity is?
She actually...
Su Ruanruan gritted her teeth, endured the abdominal pain, and left without even turning her head, limping away.
Once she left the county government office, she took deep breaths of fresh air, looked at the bright sky, and felt the darkness before her eyes dissipate, finally feeling that she had come back to life.
I just feel pain all over my body, my back hurts, my feet hurt, my stomach hurts.
Feeling blue and sad~ mushroom~
Su Ruanruan squatted against the wall, her body dirty and smelly, her clothes tattered, causing passersby to linger their disdainful glances on her for a moment longer.
She had never been so humiliated before. She lowered her head, avoiding their gazes, and rubbed her aching ankle.
But she was in so much pain.
"Soft."
Su Ruanruan suddenly looked up, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on him, as if gilding him with a layer of golden light. Dressed in plain white, his face was like jade, his starry eyes deep, revealing a deep worry.
Su Ruanruan immediately blinked.
Mu Bai was a small fish in the original owner's pond.
He was a learned scholar at Tianhong Academy and the teacher's most prized student. He passed the imperial examination at a young age.
Su Ruanruan couldn't quite remember how the original owner met Mu Bai, only that the original owner would go to him to teach her to read whenever she had free time.
The original owner actually had some affection for Mu Bai, but knowing the vast difference in their social status and her own ruined reputation, she could only bury her love deep within and be content with quietly learning to read with Mu Bai.
"Ruan Ruan, are you alright?"
"I...I'm in pain..."
Su Ruanruan's tears fell, making Mu Bai feel heartbroken.
Seeing her disheveled state, he carefully helped her up, only to find numerous scratches and bloodstains on her body and dress. He couldn't suppress the pain and pity in his eyes.
"How did you get so badly injured?"
Su Ruanruan didn't answer his question, but blushed and said, "I want to go to the outhouse."
