After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 396 Qian Musheng angrily rebukes Su Xiuer

“Miss Su, it’s not just me, your sister-in-law and third brother have also come. Don’t worry, don’t torture yourself in prison by not eating or drinking anymore, we will definitely get you out.” As soon as Qian Musheng said this, Su Xiuer immediately couldn’t hold back her tears.

Qian Musheng saw that the prison warden had also gone far away. After all, the prison warden had only given Qian Musheng and Su Xiuer time to say what they needed to say because he had been instructed by his superiors.

After crying for a long time, Su Xiuer told Qian Musheng about what had happened, how she went to Prince Gong's villa to find him, but Prince Gong pretended not to recognize her and even conspired with that woman to make fun of her.

Qian Musheng already knew Prince Gong's character; he was certain that Prince Gong would say such things.

"Then why did you travel all the way from Xinghua Village to the capital to find Prince Gong? Did he send you?"

This question stumped Su Xiuer.

"No, no. Actually, it was just wishful thinking on my part, sigh!"

At this point, Su Xiuer had no choice but to tell Qian Musheng all those past events.

"Young Master Qian, actually I was deceived by Prince Gong!"

"What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly!"

Now that things have come to this, Su Xiuer has finally figured it out.

Prince Gong is a bastard, he's not a good person at all.

She was completely disappointed in this man. This time, she was almost dead. In the past few days in jail, she had thought a lot. All those sweet words from before now seemed like bullshit. The man who wanted to take her life was the same guy who had made vows of eternal love.

Su Xiuer no longer cared about saving face. Qian Musheng was her lifeline. She had to seize this opportunity to get out of this prison, otherwise, she would really die in this death row cell in a few days.

She recounted how she met Prince Gong, what he said to her, and even his request to get his hands on Su Xiaoxiao's jam recipe and his desire for shares in Su Xiaoxiao's jam workshop—all of which were Prince Gong's ulterior motives.

Prince Gong said that he would marry Su Xiuer if she obtained the jam recipe.

Qian Musheng really didn't expect that Prince Gong had such big ambitions, and that he even wanted Su Xiaoxiao's jam recipe.

What was this guy thinking? Even now, he still couldn't quite figure out Prince Gong's intentions, feeling that this man's heart was indeed very black.

However, his true motives remained unclear. It was now assumed he harbored ulterior motives, wanting Su Xiaoxiao's soy sauce recipe and now also venturing into the jam business. But when Su Xiuer recounted the details of her date with Prince Gong, Qian Musheng was genuinely surprised. He hadn't expected Su Xiuer, a country girl, to be so open and uninhibited.

But if Qian Musheng were to say this, it would be like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai – one was willing to hit and the other was willing to be hit. Both of them were pretty shameless, which is why this happened.

When Qian Musheng thought about how Su Xiuer and her mother, Old Madam Wang, had tried every means to get Su Xiaoxiao's jam recipe and how they had schemed against Su Xiaoxiao, she felt no sympathy for the pitiful Su Xiuer in front of her.

After listening, Qian Musheng thought for a moment and asked Su Xiuer, "Is that all? Is there anything else you haven't mentioned?"

Su Xiuer shook her head, indicating that there was nothing else. "Okay, I understand. Don't worry about things here. I've already spoken to the prison warden and the others, and they won't make things difficult for you. You won't be shortchanged on food or anything. Just stay here and relax. I'll go out and work with your sister-in-law and the others to find a way to get you out."

"So, I can't go out today?"

Su Xiuer originally thought that Qian Musheng's arrival would allow him to take her out of the prison, but she was wrong. Qian Musheng had only come to understand the situation first.

Disappointment showed on Su Xiuer's face. Qian Musheng didn't want to say anything more to her and wanted to leave immediately.

As a result, Su Xiuer quickly reached out from inside the cell and grabbed Qian Musheng's wrist. She was in a hurry and didn't expect her nails to be too long, so she cut a gash on Qian Musheng's wrist. The gash wasn't very big, but Qian Musheng frowned.

However, Su Xiuer's hands clenched tighter and tighter. "Young Master Qian, you can't leave! I'm so scared. I don't want to stay here any longer. It's too terrifying. I'm on edge every moment, afraid they'll kill me. I'm so scared..."

Su Xiuer was in very bad condition, but Qian Musheng had no sympathy for her at all.

Knowing what she had done, he was now speechless.

"Su Xiuer, time is of the essence. Please let go of my hand first, okay? Let me tell you something!" Su Xiuer finally let go of Qian Musheng's hand because she saw a chilling aura on Qian Musheng's face, and she was frightened.

“Su Xiuer, let me tell you again, this is the Dali Temple prison. It took a lot of effort for me to even get in here to see you. This isn't your Baihua Village. We're still trying to get you out of here, and it will require the help of many people. The person you offended isn't an ordinary person; it's Prince Gong. How can he not be human? He's a prince, a high-ranking official. How can a lowly commoner like you just be beaten up like that? He's locked you up in prison now. Even if he had just said something about executing you on the spot, you wouldn't have been able to find a place to seek justice!”

When Qian Musheng said this, Su Xiuer inside stopped crying. She listened quietly, her expression grim. But every word Qian Musheng spoke felt like a dagger piercing her heart, and she understood.

How could she not understand something so simple and easy to understand?

"We are currently making every effort to get you out of jail. It all depends on you. You have to cooperate and not cause any more trouble. Also, I have something to tell you: if you get out safely this time, you must remember the great kindness your sister-in-law Su Xiaoxiao has shown you. You must not harm her like this again, otherwise, I will definitely not forgive you!"

Unexpectedly, Su Xiuer was almost frightened by Qian Musheng's words. She truly didn't expect Qian Musheng to say such a thing. What did this mean? Qian Musheng was clearly angry with her, "Su Xiuer, spend the next few days in prison reflecting on your actions! Think about what you've done in the past. I won't say anything more, but don't worry, the people in the prison have been taken care of. You won't be wronged, and you won't be killed by those people!"
