Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 202 Cell
Manman was in a very low mood, and when he returned from playing on the street, he didn't say a word.Si Ling and Si Long only thought she was frightened and tried their best to comfort her, and immediately made soothing soup after returning home.

Manman just waved her hands listlessly, told Si Long to drink the soothing soup, and then explained: "I'm fine, it's you two who were frightened, if I didn't just focus on being in a daze for a while, you wouldn't suffer Tired."

Si Long hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't say that, it's because the servants failed to remind grandma in time, fortunately grandma was not injured..."

They all came from small places. Compared with this capital city, it is the countryside. They have never seen the big world. When they suddenly saw officials traveling and guards clearing the way, they were sometimes stunned.

Manman just shook his head with a wry smile.How could they understand her thoughts.

In the past, Manman has never heard of the legends told by storytellers. In order to avenge their father, filial sons and virtuous women either disguised themselves as men and went to Beijing to rush for the exam, or beat drums to sound grievances and blocked the way to appeal.

There is no personal benefit when listening to it, even if it is a legend, it is also passionate and encouraged when listening to it, but it is just listening to it, not taking it seriously.

Only when you have seen it will you know that it is really just a legend.

Let’s just beat the drums to complain. The current law is such a rule. Anyone who beats the drums must first receive fifty pressure sticks to show his solemnity.

Even if she is not afraid of being tortured, can she really survive?
Then there is blocking the way to appeal for grievances. Which court official is not a person who loves his life and cherishes his life? He is heavily armed and guarded, and there are forbidden guards to clear the way. Anyone who is not pleasing to the eye can swing his whip and sword. People really rushed to the middle of the street to stop the adult's sedan chair?

Take a ten million step back and say that she is really good. If she wants to seek justice, she has to show her face. The world's tolerance for women is really limited.

Forget it, she was willing to sacrifice everything to save Chen Yunzheng, but the key was that she had no evidence to prove that Chen Yunzheng was innocent.It is true that he participated in it, and the joint letter is true, black and white, and well documented.

Furthermore, what she wants to sue is not any common people, not any corrupt officials, but the emperor who has all the power in one body and cannot be violated in the slightest.Which official would dare to accept such a case?Who dares to say that the emperor was wrong?And who would dare to go straight to the Heavenly Court, accuse the emperor of his fault, let the emperor take back his order, and let these scholars go home?
All the roads are blocked, Manman lost his mind only when he was disappointed and helpless.

After being depressed for two days, Manman had to pin her last hope on Chen Yun.The so-called dead horse treats a living horse doctor, Manman has never hated her helplessness and powerlessness as much as now.

She was always looking tired, so Si Ling and Si Long didn't dare to speak very much. Most of the time, the master and servant sat together silently.Manman was in a daze in the room, and the two of them sat outside in a daze, full of bewilderment, neither of them knew what to do.

The whole small courtyard seemed to be unpopular.

Manman couldn't sleep well all day long, she always dreamed in a trance, every time she dreamed that someone was whispering in her ear: cold, Manman, I'm so cold.

Once or twice, Manman woke up instantly.

Regardless of whether Chen Yunzheng could be rescued or not, he had to find a way to see him, even if he couldn't, Chen Yun would always find a way to bring some cotton clothes for him.

The old leather cloak might be forgotten, but any better ones would have to be taken away by the jailer. It was cold there, and there was no charcoal fire for heating. He might have to make a few more pairs of quilts, cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes for him, Cotton socks and the like.

Manman has the motivation to do things, and because of this, she has some vitality. Even Si Ling and Si Long are busy, which slightly dilutes the helpless melancholy.

Chen Yun's work efficiency is not too high, but Manman has encountered a wall himself, so he understands it very well, and did not maliciously infer that it was because he was not dedicated enough.

Ten days after Chen Yun's revisit, he was quite surprised to see the quilts and cotton clothes hanging all over the yard.Manman was standing in the sun, straightening out the quilt and removing the lint from the quilt.

Chen Yun asked: "Who made it? For whom?"

Manman turned her head and looked at him like a fool.Besides her, Si Ling, and Si Long, is there a fourth person who can make clothes in the yard?Besides doing it for Chen Yunzheng, will you do it for another person?

Chen Yun's naked contempt did not embarrass him, he once again looked at the few outstanding women in front of him with very special eyes.She is indeed a bit pretty, but there are many people who are prettier than her. She is indeed a bit virtuous, but there are many people who are more virtuous than her. What is rare is her kindness.

Compared with the few female family members who can't be mentioned at home, Su Manman can not be arrogant or impetuous, making cotton clothes for Xiao Liu'er while he doesn't care, which is really beyond his expectation.

Manman invited him to sit inside, and said straight to the point: "Master is here, but is there any good news?"

Chen Yun raised his eyes, but finally closed his mouth, and didn't ask the phrase "how did you guess it?".He didn't want to be looked down upon by Sumanman anymore.

He took a sip of water and said in a nutshell: "Although the emperor arrested Xiao Liu'er and the others in a fit of anger, he did not impose severe punishments. I managed to get a chance to meet each other..."

Manman didn't sleep well all night.

In the middle of the night, she got up from the bed again, fumbled to light the lamp, opened the package, and checked if there was anything missing.It seems that there is not enough to bring. He is in prison, not a guest. There must be nothing in the prison. Countless cold days, dripping water turns to ice, and he can bring as much clothing, coverings, food, and heating things as he can.

Manman was worried that the prison guards would use the pretense of interrogation to benefit others and hack the things they wanted to bring to Chen Yunzheng, and she was also worried that the prisoners who were with him would bully him that he was young and weak, so he wouldn't be able to keep the things she sent. Worried about whether I could really meet him.

What happens after we meet?
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Up to now, Manman can't believe that the news brought back by Chen Yun is true.

Manman has imagined countless times what the scene in the prison will be like.Dark, bloody, cold, miserable, moaning, like hell, there are unpardonable, heinous people, as well as wronged, helpless, impoverished country people. She still feels suffocated when she is really in prison.

Just for this trip, she already felt chest tightness, nausea and discomfort. She couldn't imagine how the pampered son Chen Yun was staying here for two months, facing the endless and unknown future. , How should he survive.

The lights were dim, and from time to time someone stretched out a dirty hand full of blood scabs and frostbite, grasping in vain in the dimness.Even though she knew they couldn't catch her, Manman still found it shocking.

Chen Yun kept walking in front, walking in a hurry, probably couldn't stand it anymore, thinking that he had seen Chen Yunzheng earlier and left earlier.

I don't know who grabbed Manman's ankle.

Manman cried out in surprise, "Ah——"

That hand was weak and weak, revealing the despair of dying, and refused to let go after grasping it, with the determination to pull the tentacle driftwood and perish together.

Hearing the sound, Chen Yun turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Manman stomped her feet anxiously, and said in a low voice, "Someone grabbed my ankle."

Chen Yun looked down in the dark, then raised his foot and kicked the man's wrist fiercely.The man withdrew his hand in pain, and said tragically: "Help, help, I was wronged, save me, save me."

Manman was covered in cold sweat, and was tightly next to Chen Yun, trembling all over.Chen Yun looked at her with pity, hesitated for a moment, and said: "You tug on my sleeve, don't get too far away."

Manman grabbed his sleeve and asked in a low voice: "How far is it? Sixth Lord is just like them..."

Chen Yun didn't speak.His heart was also in a state of agitation. During this journey, he saw many miserable and embarrassing scenes, and he would inevitably think of Chen Yunzheng. The more he couldn't see him, the more uncertain he would be.But he didn't want to show his timidity in front of Su Manman, he just said: "It's almost there, it's almost there."

As if there was no end, there were miserable cries and howls everywhere. Manman followed Chen Yun with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

She was very afraid of a hand like an evil spirit stretching out from nowhere, grabbing her firmly and dragging her in, but she was even more afraid that if Chen Yunzheng collapsed like them, would she Followed by crash.

The most difficult thing, perhaps, is not sitting in this endless prison. After all, I have never met each other, so I always hold a glimmer of hope, hoping that my relatives will rescue me one day.But once they meet, when Fang finds out that the relatives outside are also powerless and helpless, can Chen Yunzheng bear such a blow?

Just when Manman was trembling all over and was about to be unable to hold on, the jailer, who was swaying in front of him, stopped, stretched out his hand and said to Chen Yun, "Here we are."

He flicked the key in his hand and shouted loudly: "Chen Yunzheng, who is Chen Yunzheng, your family is here to see you."

Manman let go of Chen Yun's sleeve, and looked into the cell through the mask.When the jailer yelled, more than a dozen people in the prison rushed over and asked loudly, "Are you here to see me?"

These people are unkempt, their clothes are thin and shabby, and they can't see the original color clearly.Where there is still a bit of arrogance of the scholars, they are clearly a group of trapped beasts who are eager to regain their freedom.

She searched for a long time but couldn't see the familiar eyes and face, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

No, there is no Chen Yunzheng.A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Manman's heart. Maybe it was just a misrepresentation. He was not arrested, or did he escape during the arrest?

Chen Yun whispered: "Little Liuer", which completely shattered Manman's extravagant hopes. When she looked over, she saw Chen Yun squatting down and lowering her head, holding a pair of thin hands.

Her tears welled up all at once.
