Jiang Mingwei was stunned, thinking she was still dreaming.
After all, she was sleeping in her own sweet and soft bed, so how could she end up in a place like this after waking up?
She shook her head, closed her eyes, and tried to go back to sleep.
Hmm... I must have opened it wrong. Everything will be back to normal after I wake up!
With that thought in mind, she forced herself to drift off to sleep.
A sudden gust of cold wind swept by, causing her to involuntarily curl up...
Jiang Mingwei, unable to bear it any longer, sat up abruptly.
As expected, the surroundings remained dark.
She found herself in a cage-like place, looking at the dilapidated scene around her, and couldn't help but silently curse the national essence.
"Who's more unlucky than me? Why did the map randomly refresh while I was sleeping? Where am I?!"
She muttered to herself, the surroundings were empty, and she didn't see a single person.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Mingwei suddenly became a little scared.
Judging from the situation, she was most likely kidnapped while she was sleeping.
Who on earth is so tasteless!
So, should they kill her or sell her?
A sense of panic and unease welled up inside me...
No way! We haven't even enjoyed a few good days yet, are we going to suffer again?
"Hey, is anyone there? Is anyone coming to save me?!"
She got up and walked to the front of the cell. Jiang Mingwei hugged the wooden stake and shouted desperately at the outside.
Looking at the thin wooden stake, she considered whether to try to get through it, but after several attempts, her head almost got stuck, so she had to give up and just kept shouting.
After shouting for an unknown amount of time, a small door creaked open not far away.
As the light entered, the surroundings quickly became dark again.
She heard someone dragging their legs, approaching her step by step.
As she got closer, in the dim light, Jiang Mingwei finally saw her clearly.
She was a woman in her thirties or forties, with a limp in one leg, her face haggard yet carrying a sharp, cold expression.
When he looked at her, he didn't reveal a fierce expression. Instead, he sighed, seemingly quite helpless.
"Stop shouting! No one can save you! Since you've been captured, you can only accept your fate. If you have anyone to blame, it's your bad luck. So just wait patiently!"
"Wait patiently? I was sleeping at home, and you kidnapped me and expect me to wait? Don't you find that ridiculous? You'd better let me go right now. Do you even know whose wife I am?!"
Jiang Mingwei sneered, slightly raised her chin, and confronted her with uncontrollable rage.
But the woman seemed uninterested and unafraid, only looking at her with cold eyes.
Looking at her indifferent expression, Jiang Mingwei felt a little awkward...
“Madam, no woman can escape from here alive. The master will come to inspect the goods soon. If he takes a liking to you, you can be used by him; if he doesn’t, I will send you to your death as soon as possible. It’s all fate, so don’t struggle.”
The lame woman sighed and spoke calmly.
Despite the fact that it was a murder plot, she spoke of it with the same calmness as slaughtering a chicken or a sheep.
Jiang Mingwei felt terrified upon hearing this.
Sure enough, this person was going to kill me!
What grudge could there be? I don't even know her!
"What do you mean? What do you mean that if your master takes a liking to me, I will be used? How does he plan to use me?"
Jiang Mingwei asked anxiously, her face filled with fear.
The woman looked at her with increasing pity, then looked away reluctantly and shook her head.
“Madam, please don’t ask so many questions. You’ll know everything in due time! I’ve said it before, you can only blame your bad luck! I did such a despicable thing, and you were destined not to live.”
"No matter which family's lady you are, it is your good fortune to be noticed by your master! So wait quietly and pray that your master will take a liking to you."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
Jiang Mingwei called out to her desperately, but she kept walking.
Suddenly, Jiang Mingwei smelled a familiar fragrance, but before she could speak, the woman had already left, and she could only slump down and sit down again.
Once they sat there, they didn't know how long they had been sitting.
She quickly got up when she heard another creaking sound from not far away.
The lame woman walked to the side and in front, followed by a tall, well-proportioned man dressed in a black robe.
Although his face was not clearly visible, judging from his physique, he must be a person with outstanding appearance and temperament.
Soon, the two walked up to Jiang Mingwei.
The lame woman treated him with great respect, bowing her back and wearing a respectful smile.
Knowing she was going to die either way, Jiang Mingwei simply clung to the cell door, glaring fiercely at the man.
Beneath the wide black robe, the man wore a mask that covered half of his face, revealing only the other half, which was sharp and three-dimensional, indicating that he was extremely handsome.
Jiang Mingwei narrowed her eyes and met the man's gaze.
For some reason, I felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Not particularly familiar with her, but enough to raise her alarm!
"Master, these are the new goods selected for you. Please take a look and see if you are satisfied?"
"Who are you?"
The lame woman had barely finished speaking when Jiang Mingwei blurted out.
She frowned as she looked at the man in black in front of her. The more she looked, the more familiar he seemed. Without any politeness, she rebuked him angrily.
"You kidnapped me here with your tricks, and now you're treating me like merchandise to be picked over? Who do you think you are? If you've got the guts, take off your hood and mask and let me see who you really are!"
The lame woman's expression changed, seemingly not expecting Jiang Mingwei to dare speak to her master like that, and she quickly reprimanded her.
"Shut up! Who gave you permission to speak to your master like that? You're nothing but merchandise she picked over; you have no right to speak. I'll rip your tongue out!"
Although Jiang Mingwei was afraid, she knew she absolutely could not show any weakness at this moment!
Just as she was about to argue with the lame woman, the man in black raised his hand and interrupted her.
A slight smile played on her lips as she looked at Jiang Mingwei with amusement, uttering something that surprised Jiang Mingwei—
"The capital is so vast, with so many women. I truly didn't expect you to capture her. It's quite a surprise!"
Jiang Mingwei was taken aback. She carefully analyzed what he had said and suddenly realized something extremely important.
This person knows himself!
"You know me, you know me, right? Who exactly are you! Since you know me, you should know my identity. Besides, I'm on good terms with the Big Boss. If you dare to touch me, you'll be going against her!"
"Oh, and my brother-in-law, he's the most valiant and fearless general in the court. Be careful he doesn't kill you!"
In desperation, Jiang Mingwei boasted about all the connections she could boast about.
Thinking about it later, I realized I had forgotten about Jiang Mingjin, and I felt a little regretful.
But then they heard the man in black chuckle, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery.
"It's been so many years since we last met, I never imagined you'd become so noisy!"
