"Are you going to sue him?" Cen Xiao looked down at Yang Cui.
“Otherwise, when he gets out in a few months, he will definitely take revenge on me. I want him locked up for a longer period of time.”
"This is not good for your reputation."
Yang Cui was also at a loss. Rumors are always terrible, especially in this era.
“His escape from prison is an even more serious crime, and he will have to stay in there for at least a year and a half,” Cen Xiao said. “The prison is a mixed bag, and people often die from illness.”
Yang Cui felt that he was hinting at something to her. She looked at him in surprise. This person was too enthusiastic! He was telling her this even though they were not related. Although Cen Xiao had helped her, Yang Cui was also wary of him because of his hint.
However, what he said made a lot of sense. A year and a half was not a short time. She could prepare some more things and send them to the Star Gazing Tower. Then she could ask the Star Gazing Tower to have the yamen (government office) send Lin Mingcai to perform corvée labor, or let him be detained for another year or half a year. As for letting him die of illness, Yang Cui, who grew up under the red flag, couldn't bring herself to do it.
The words "died of illness" filled Lin Mingcai with terror!
"Xiao Cui, I promise I will never hurt you again. Please forgive me this time, okay?" Lin Mingcai was scared. The man next to Yang Cui terrified him. He was still young and did not want to die from illness.
Yang Cui raised an eyebrow: "I didn't expect you to beg for mercy?"
"Xiao Cui, please forgive me this time for the sake of our past relationship. I promise I'll behave myself from now on!"
Yang Cui laughed and said, "Affection? What affection do I have with your Lin family?"
"We were relatives before, after all. If you're willing to let me go this time, I promise I'll keep my family in check and won't cause you any trouble in the future!"
Yang Cui scoffed: "Men's words are deceitful!"
Cen Xiao, Dao San, and Dao Ba all stared at Yang Cui, feeling like they were being subtly insulted.
Yang Cui smiled sheepishly: "Hehe, I wasn't talking about you guys. Could you please keep an eye on them for me and then take me to the other village? I want to go find my daughter."
"You wait here." Cen Xiao said, then carried Yang Cui toward Ji'an Village.
Dao Ba and Dao San were dumbfounded when they heard this!
daughter???
This woman is actually married!
That means their grandpa is holding someone else's wife right now. Tsk tsk, who knew grandpa had such novel tastes, holding someone else's wife and not letting go!
"Um... my benefactor, how should I address you?"
“Cen Xiao”.
"Brother Cen, you can actually help me walk."
Being held like that made Yang Cui feel quite embarrassed. She didn't know how many strange looks she would attract once they entered the village.
"We can walk faster this way."
Yang Cui: "..."
