Da Bao, who had just walked in, was relieved to see that Chen Qingqing hadn't been subjected to torture.
As long as Sister Qingqing wasn't punished, that's fine. As for Xiao Wu, he deserved it!
Who told him to cause such a big problem for Sister Qingqing, resulting in her uncle's house being raided and him suffering in prison?
Upon hearing Chief Sun persuade Chen Qingqing to sign and put her fingerprint on the document, Da Bao couldn't help but feel indignant and said, "Everyone within a hundred miles knows that my sister Qingqing has superb medical skills. She has cured so many people suffering from illness. How could she possibly harm anyone? My sister Qingqing was framed."
Upon hearing this, Warden Sun chuckled dismissively.
"Young man, that's just how the world is. Even if you're right, what can you do? In the face of power, there's no such thing as fairness or reason."
They can call black white, and white black. You may not understand the reasoning behind this yet, but with time and experience, you will eventually see through the darkness of this world.
"I refuse to believe there's no place in this world where reason prevails." Da Bao clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead.
“Of course there are, but in Anyang County, Qin Shousheng is the king. There’s no chance of overturning the verdict he’s handed down. If you don’t have a powerful backer, you have to accept your fate.” After saying that, Chief Sun waved his hand. “I’ve talked a lot today. Alright, you two talk. I won’t disturb your family conversation.”
Hearing what Warden Sun said, Chen Qingqing fell into deep thought. The law was nothing but a piece of paper in the face of power.
Justice is trampled upon by those in power; the world is turned upside down, and good and evil are indistinguishable.
Ordinary people like her live in this endless darkness like ants, and they can easily get themselves into trouble if they are not careful.
The sugar mill, the restaurant, and the clinic have all been targeted by Chen Ruolan, and behind her is County Magistrate Qin Shousheng. Having no power or influence, I am destined to be no match for them.
Staying in prison means certain death sooner or later; it's time to leave with my family.
From now on, I'll find a place where no one knows me and live a low-key life. I must never dream of becoming the richest person in the world again.
What a tragic time traveler! He thought he could make a good life for his family through his own abilities, but it's not that easy.
She looked at her family. Chen Zhanshan felt Chen Qingqing's gaze and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"Daughter, don't be afraid. Even if we die, your parents will be with you."
"Daughter, no matter life or death, our family will always be together." Lin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled.
Wu Cuihua nodded heavily, "Yes, we are not afraid of death."
Da Bao's eyes reddened, and his voice choked with emotion, "Now that we know it was Chen Ruolan who did this, I'll go and beg her. If she wants the sugar shop, we'll give it to her, as long as she lets you go."
“Yes, Da Bao is right. As long as we’re alive, we can always rebuild. Being alive is the most important thing.” Chen Zhanliang echoed in a low voice.
Chen Qingqing shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Chen Ruolan hates me to the bone. She wants more than just the Chen family's wealth; she wants my life too. Even if you give her everything, she won't let me go."
Upon hearing this, Da Bao realized the seriousness of the problem, and his face turned pale instantly. "Sister Qingqing, what should we do now? Are we just going to let Chen Ruolan get away with it? No, we can't let her run rampant. I'm going to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor. I refuse to believe that there's no place in the Great Ning Dynasty where justice is served."
Chen Qingqing was amused by his childish idea. "Dabao, it will take more than two months to go to Kyoto and back. I'm locked up in this prison. Chen Ruolan has a million ways to make me die without anyone knowing."
"As long as Xiao Wu and I die, Qin Shousheng can say that I committed suicide out of guilt. Besides, you might not be able to find a place to reason with me in the capital. I'm afraid that when you come back, you won't even be able to see me one last time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Da Bao panicked, "What do we do then? Are we just going to wait to die?"
"Of course not, I will never let Chen Ruolan succeed." Chen Qingqing glanced around to make sure no one was watching them, then lowered her voice and revealed her plan.
"Da Bao, go to Qingshui Town to pick up Chen Han first, then tell my older brother to prepare several cars and sedan chairs to wait outside the city. Tonight, I'm going to take my parents to escape from prison. I want to find a place where no one knows me and start a new life."
Da Bao shook his head vigorously, "No, the prison is so heavily guarded. If we don't escape, they'll catch us and we'll die even faster."
Chen Qingqing smiled and then removed the bricks from the back wall of the cell, revealing the street outside. "I've already dug open the cell wall. Prepare as I told you. If you don't leave tonight, I doubt you'll be able to leave."
Chen Qingqing's sixth sense told her that Chen Ruolan would definitely try to kill her secretly. In order to survive, she had to leave this place tonight.
Her eyes flashed with a terrifying murderous intent. As long as she escaped from prison, she would send her to the county government office to poison the corrupt officials Qin Shousheng and Chen Ruolan.
I'll come back in disguise later to kill Miao Hong and Shen Yuanze...
Da Bao looked at the dug-open back wall of the prison and his eyelids twitched. As expected of the person he admired, he could always surprise people under any circumstances.
"Okay, Sister Qingqing, I'll go prepare now."
"Da Bao, wait a minute." Chen Zhanshan called out to him.
"What's wrong, Uncle?" Da Bao quickly stopped in his tracks.
Chen Zhanshan's expression was unusually calm. "Once we leave, we probably won't be able to come back in this lifetime. Before Chen Ruolan ransacked the house, your aunt and I buried all the valuables in the house under the apricot tree in the middle of the yard. After this period is over, you can find a way to take them out. Consider it a gift from your uncle to you for your future wedding."
Da Bao chuckled, "Uncle, I'm afraid I can't help you with this, because I want to leave here with Sister Qingqing. I'll go wherever she goes."
“Yes, Da Bao is right. If you leave Nanshan Village, we’ll be all alone. We’ll go with you.” Chen Zhanliang chimed in.
"This..." Chen Zhanshan was speechless, not knowing what to say, and looked at Chen Qingqing.
Chen Qingqing hadn't expected them to make such a decision. She said calmly, "Second Uncle, Da Bao, if you follow me, you'll have to wander around without a fixed abode. You'll definitely suffer a lot. Have you thought this through?"
"Sister Qingqing, I'm not afraid of hardship." Da Bao's eyes revealed his admiration for Chen Qingqing. "Besides, with us as cover, I believe our escape will be easier."
Chen Qingqing was moved, her eyes welling up with tears. "Okay, believe me, I will definitely not let you suffer."
“Okay, Sister Qingqing, then my father and I will go back and prepare. We’ll meet in the grove outside the city at midnight tonight.”
"Okay." Chen Qingqing nodded, then told Wu Cuihua and her parents to go and rest, because tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
To ensure a foolproof escape, Chen Qingqing entered her spatial dimension and purchased a sleeping potion that would keep the prison guards asleep for three days and three nights.
Then, they carefully selected a Western Regions aphrodisiac spray to deal with Chen Ruolan and Qin Shousheng. Just a little bit would surely cause them both to die from exhaustion...
