Chapter 48 048. Prison 3
The jailer was not prepared to give in. "Don't try to play tricks on me. You can't even protect yourselves right now. Are you sure someone would be willing to take the risk to come and visit you?"

If that's the case, they should have sent someone in before dark."

He is not one of those new rookies who would be fooled by these people with just a few words.

"My mother's family belongs to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. They will definitely come to see me." For the sake of her son, Liu Yun said with a stiff upper lip.

Ever since her father passed away, her stepmother no longer cared about her, and the etiquette she showed her became more and more perfunctory over the years.

Now that this has happened to the Gu family, they will definitely avoid us even more.

But she had no choice now and could only hold up the banner of the Marquis' Mansion to see if she could get some help.

"She's still the aunt of the Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion," the jailer was obviously not scared. The Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion had begun to decline by this generation of the Zhenyuan Marquis. When there were no outstanding descendants in the next generation, they would become ordinary people like them.

"Then wait for them to send you silk and satin. The tattered coats we have here might be disliked by the nobles."

After the jailer finished speaking, he turned and left. He had thought that the newcomer this time would be a good opportunity to make money, but he didn't expect him to be so useless.

"Mom, I'm so cold," Gu Anwei was squeezed between his grandmother and mother, but he still felt cold all over.

"There's nothing we can do now. My son, just be patient. Who knows, maybe your grandpa will send something over tomorrow." This is the only way Xu Yulan could comfort him.

After all, her parents lived in the countryside and didn't get the news so quickly.

Bai Suihe listened to all this quietly and sighed in his heart.

The Xu family never showed up from beginning to end. It's hard to say, but now they can't wait to draw a clear line with them.

As for the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion, although the master did not show up, he did send a maid to deliver 100 taels of silver when they were exiled. No one knew what they said, but the eldest wife remained silent for a long time.

She was a little worried now. Mrs. Bai must be going crazy with anxiety.

But there was no way. They were merchants, and even if they got the news, they couldn't find out which prison she was imprisoned in so quickly.

However, early tomorrow morning, the steward of the Bai Mansion will come over to smooth things over and make their lives easier.

They were all imprisoned together, and the Gu family also benefited from it.

Although Bai Suihe was unwilling in her heart, she knew that if she wanted to improve her life, she could not get around them.

They all felt a little regretful. They should have briefed Mrs. Bai in advance and found a way to put her in a separate prison.

"Alright, stop making trouble. If you don't rest, others will have to rest too." The jailer came in swaggering, whip in hand. "How many of you? Who's surnamed Bai?"

Bai Suihe raised his head. There was no record of this incident in the book.

"Her surname is Bai," seeing the ferocious look, Xu Yulan quickly pointed at Bai Suihe who was hiding behind the straw pile.

"Did she commit something else?"

The prison boss unlocked the door and said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. You, come out."

Bai Suihe stood up with the help of the wall and followed her instructions to leave the prison.

"Sir," Xu Huizhen narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Suihe, "I wonder what mistake the Bai family made."

Could it be that her family is in trouble because of her?

The prison boss locked the door again. "No, they didn't. Someone spent a lot of money to find her a more comfortable cell. There are quilts and food there. Do you want to take one?"

The few people who were shivering with cold immediately lost their composure and rushed to the door, shouting, "We need it." "Pay money and get what you want," the jailer spread out his hands, "wouldn't it be better to do this earlier? Why suffer in vain?"

"We don't have money, but the Bai family does." Xu Huizhen held her head high, "I am the Bai family's mother-in-law, she has to respect me.

We want the cell you prepared. Take us there quickly."

"So that's how it is," the jailer cracked his whip, scaring the prisoners around him awake from their sleep. They simply gathered around to watch the fun.

“There are no such rules here.

Since you can't produce it, don't waste your time here with me."

"Ms. Bai, let's go. I've already arranged a place for you, and I've even asked someone to prepare hot water for you." I don't know if it was intentional to anger the Gu family, but the jailer treated Bai Suihe much better.

"Ms. Bai, I am your mother-in-law." Xu Huizhen said in a threatening tone.

Bai Suihe blinked and turned to the jailer with an innocent look, "Sir, what do you see?"

"Don't try to play that with me. I'm doing this for money. They're only protecting you, so naturally I have to take you there."

"No, you can't take my daughter-in-law away," Xu Huizhen immediately pointed at Bai Suihe, "You're not allowed to leave with him alone. Who knows if he's hiding something dirty?"

"La," Xu Huizhen screamed as the whip sounded, and immediately covered the back of her hands, squatting on the ground and trembling.

"Miss," at this time, a familiar voice came, and then Wu Qingshui appeared in the prison.

"Madam Wu," Bai Suihe said with some surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Madam was worried about you. It took us a long time to find out about this place. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble."

Bai Suihe walked towards Wu Qingshui, but Wu Qingshui came over to support her, "Miss, you are still pregnant, you can't walk too fast."

"You're Madam Bai's steward," Xu Huizhen endured the pain on the back of her hand, stood up and said loudly, "Hurry up and get us all out. It's too cold here."

This condescending, commanding tone made Madam Wu frown. But she also knew that she couldn't just ignore this matter.

This was also the reason why she hadn't shown up before. Who knew that Old Lady Gu was so difficult to deal with and almost ruined her young lady's reputation.

"Madam Gu," Wu Qingshui said, "I, this old servant, am following the orders of our mistress to make sure our young lady is settled.

I thought you guys had already been arranged, but this incomplete preparation really puts me in a difficult position."

Liu Yun lowered her eyes. She had been acting like a marquis before, but she never expected that the marquis's mansion could not even compare to a merchant.

Gu Antong held her mother's arm tightly and said, "It's okay, mother. You still have me and my brother."

"Yes, mother and you." Looking at Bai Suihe again, his eyes became a little colder. Can the Bai family protect him for a while, but can they protect him for a lifetime?

Xu Huizhen said, "My parents are in the countryside, so we might not get any news until tomorrow. It's not right for Bai Shi to leave me, her mother-in-law, to enjoy her life alone."

"This really puts this old servant in a difficult position," Wu Qingshui said after a moment's thought. "Look, my young lady is pregnant. For the sake of her unborn child, I think the old lady will be too affectionate to care about this."

Before Xu Huizhen could change her expression, she quickly said, "But I will also find a way to send some quilts to you. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he immediately supported Bai Suihe and walked out slowly, "Miss, I know you are filial, but you are pregnant and you have to continue the Gu family's incense, which is the top priority."
