Chapter 474 Release from Prison
On the day when the Li family members were released from prison, Xia Ruwan was a little nervous and pulled Qin Huiyin to guard outside the Ministry of Justice prison.
"Why hasn't he come out yet?" Xia Ruwan looked towards the prison.
"Don't be anxious. Since His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has given the definite news, I believe the news is reliable." Qin Huiyin held Xia Ruwan's hand.
Xia Ruwan looked towards the prison and said, "I spent a lot of money to bribe him, but I couldn't get him into the prison. I don't even know what happened to him."
"You have to believe that it's better to spend the money than not spend it. Even if you can't see him, the people inside will see that he has someone to rely on, so they will take him into consideration when doing anything."
Xia Ruwan nodded: "Yes, I think so too."
Shuhui looked in the direction of the prison and said loudly, "I am coming, I am coming, Miss."
The officers escorted several people out.
Those men were wearing prison uniforms, their hair was unkempt and their faces were dirty, and they looked extremely miserable.
However, among those embarrassed figures, there was always a man who had an elegant posture no matter how embarrassed he was. Even in such a situation, his waist did not bend.
Xia Ruwan ran over and stood in front of Li Congxiao, her eyes red: "You finally came out."
Li Congxiao forced an ugly smile, and before he could say anything, Xia Ruwan threw herself into his arms and hugged his neck tightly.
"Are you trying to scare me to death?" Xia Ruwan said in a crying voice and hugged him tightly.
Li Congxiao gently patted her back and said dryly, "I stink so much, but you still hugged me so tightly. The things you said before were really just to coax me."
"What did I say to coax you?" When Xia Ruwan saw him come out, she felt relieved and wiped her tears.
"You said before that you only liked my appearance, and that if I became ugly someday, you would not want me anymore." Li Congxiao blinked his eyes, "But you haven't given up on me yet, and you've even spent money to bribe me. When I came out, you hugged me so tightly, don't you think I stink?"
Xia Ruwan glared at him and pinched the soft flesh on his waist: "You have become smellier, not uglier. It's okay if you smell bad, you can still look better after washing."
An old voice came from the side: "We are still on the street. How can a girl hug a man? My family hasn't said that they will marry you."
Li Congxiao frowned and looked at the old man sharply.
The old man's eyes widened. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? I showed you so many ladies from wealthy families, including officials, but you didn't know how to pick one. Now that our family is down and out, there's nothing to choose from. But this merchant girl is too indecent. She hugged you in the street. She really doesn't know how to behave."
"Oh, master, what are you talking about? Miss Xia is still able to take care of things for us, which shows that she is a girl who values love and friendship. Our Congxiao is a lucky one." Li Congxiao's stepmother, Wang, who is also Li Jingyan's biological mother, looked at Xia Ruwan, her eyes rolling around, and she did not hide her calculations at all.
"Wan'er, we have just been released from prison and we stink a lot. Let's find a place to rest first. I will come to see you after we have packed up." Li Congxiao said.
"I'm just here to take you to take a shower, change clothes, and then have a good rest. If you have anything to say, we can talk after you've rested."
"I have arranged my entourage." Li Congxiao said, looking at the carriage at the entrance of the alley. "Wait a few days, I will come to you after I have arranged everything."
"Aren't you going with me?" Xia Ruwan understood.
"I have a place to stay, you don't have to worry about me." Li Congxiao said, leaning close to Xia Ruwan's ear. "You are kind-hearted if you don't mind them being disgusted, but I can't let them make you upset. Trust me, I will make arrangements."
"But……"
Li Congxiao touched Xia Ruwan's hair and smoothed it: "Be obedient."
Qin Huiyin waited for them to finish talking, then pulled Xia Ruwan aside and said, "Let's go back first! Don't you still believe in Master Li's ability? He is so confident, everything must be within his calculations."
Li Congxiao bowed to Qin Huiyin and said, "Wan'er was able to take care of this for me, so I guess Miss Qin helped her. I would like to thank Miss Qin first and send her a thank-you gift another day."
"No need for a thank you gift. I'm doing this for Wan'er, not for you. You should first take care of your family. I'll take Wan'er back and wait for your news."
Xia Ruwan was pulled into the carriage by Qin Huiyin.
She opened the curtain and looked in the direction of Li Congxiao worriedly.
"Coachman, let's go." Qin Huiyin shouted.
The carriage moved forward until Li Congxiao and the others were out of sight, and then Xia Ruwan lowered the curtain.
"Yinyin, why don't you let me take him back?"
"Are you in love?" Qin Huiyin said unhappily, "He said it so clearly, don't you understand? He said he has arranged it and has a place to live. Since he has a place to live, why are you worried? You and Young Master Li are in love with each other, so you are naturally willing to worry about him, but none of the people in his family are easy to deal with. What are you going to do with them? I think his follower is very loyal. He got the news so quickly and came to pick him up. I'm afraid he has been keeping an eye on the movements of the Ministry of Justice."
"Hey..." Qin Huiyin shook her arm. "Your Master Li is as cunning as a fox. How could he not leave a way out for himself? The Li family's assets have been closed down, but those are the assets that the Li family has put on the table. He has been fighting with Li Jingyan for so many years, and he didn't leave himself a way out?"
"It's true that I worry too much and become confused." Xia Ruwan said, "I think about him going bankrupt and having no money all day long. I'm worried that he will feel disappointed."
After Qin Huiyin's reminder, it was possible that it was just as she said. Otherwise, he would not be so patient.
"All the tears I shed these days have been in vain." Xia Ruwan was furious.
"Isn't this good? He didn't become a pauper, so you don't need to help him." Qin Huiyin said, "Just pity me. Some of my clothes have been soaked by someone's tears. Now clothes are getting more and more expensive. I wonder if the owner of a silk shop can give me a few pieces?"
"The owner of a silk shop lets you pick as much as you want. It's no problem to go there every day. She can afford it." Xia Ruwan was in a better mood and could joke with her like before.
"That's right! The Sister Xia I know is bright and beautiful, living under the sunshine every day. I don't know if the complaining woman who cries all day long these days is possessed by something."
"You're just being stubborn! When the day comes that you find someone you love, if anything happens to him, I wonder if you'll be so anxious that you'll cry every day." Xia Ruwan said.
"I won't," Qin Huiyin said, "I will only think about how to solve the problem. I will never lose my mind and act like the sky is falling."
"Zhilan, Sujin, you are witnesses to what your young lady said. Remember how arrogant she is now." Xia Ruwan said, "I'm waiting for her to slap herself in the face."
