Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 262 Confrontation
Shen Qingli keenly felt that since she came back from the secret room that night, Cao Qiuwan seldom asked her to be interrogated by the yamen servants, but other aspects remained the same as before, without much change.

But this is enough.What she needs most now is such a stable and soothing time to recuperate.

Although there is no interrogation by Cao Qiuwan, the prison guards still treat them as harshly as before. The daily meals are leftovers, some of which are hard to swallow.

Today was the usual vegetable stalks and cold leftover rice. Ranmo looked at the food and asked the yamen servant, "You two, this is the food you serve in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Why do you treat the prisoners so harshly? "

The yamen servant looked at the impatience on Ran Mo's face, and scolded, "There are so many things, it would be nice to give you a bite to eat, don't you know who you are, anyone who is locked in this cell is waiting The death row prisoners who were beheaded now have extra days because of you, so don't know how to cherish them!"

Ran Mo was annoyed by the yamen servant's words, and was about to step forward to reason with them, Shen Qingli stopped her softly, "Ran Mo, you can only have strength when you are full, don't waste your strength on these things."

Ran Mo looked back, and saw that Shen Qingli had picked up the bowl of food and started to eat, his face was calm and indifferent, as if the food in the bowl was not something difficult to eat, but ordinary white rice.Ran Mo felt sore for her in her heart, Madam acted too indifferently, as if these hardships were nothing to her, but she was just a concubine who had just married as a bride, how could she really take these abuses seriously? Usually, she is just being patient.

Shen Qingli ate the mixed raw and cooked rice, chewed and swallowed them carefully, she did this firstly to maintain her strength, and secondly for the child in her womb.

The child was only a few months old, and she entered the prison. The prison was dark and humid without sunlight, and the daily meals were not distributed on time. She had to eat more, so that the child in her womb could grow up smoothly.

After listening to Shen Qingli's words, Ran Mo took a cold look at the yamen servant, and then picked up the food like Shen Qingli and ate it.

The rice with crumbs in her mouth caused Ran Mo's brow to frown, but even so, she ate the rice in the bowl one bite at a time.

Madam is right, she needs to conserve her strength so that she can protect her when Madam is in danger.

When the yamen servant who delivered the meal returned, he was called over by Cao Qiuwan.

Holding a pen and dipping some ink on the inkstone, Cao Qiuwan carefully looked at the rice paper on the table, and asked without raising his head, "How is it, what about Shen Qingli's side?"

The yamen servant replied honestly, "Ms. Shen has been as calm as usual these past few days, and there is no abnormal behavior."

After Cao Qiuwan asked some more about Shen Qingli's status, he nodded and sneered, "She is really 'not surprised by favor or humiliation', and, I just don't know if she can still be so indifferent after tonight."

The meaning of these words is that something bad will happen to Shen Qingli tonight, is it an adult or someone else?

The yamen servant was thinking to himself, but he didn't dare to ask.

Cao Qiuwan looked at him looking down in thought, but he guessed what he was thinking at the moment, and said coldly, "What are you thinking about?"

The yamen servant was shocked by this question, and quickly shook his head, "I just want to remind you..."

Cao Qiuwan frowned and looked at the dried-up nib, and threw the pen at the yamen servant's feet, "When working here as an official, you must see your identity clearly and understand what you should do. Self-determining things that shouldn't concern you."

The yamen servant hastily lowered his head and said, "Young ones, remember, little ones, remember..."

Cao Qiuwan gave a cold snort, and waved his hand to make the yamen servant retreat quickly.

He looked at the ball of black ink on the paper, and the flesh on his face was torn into a sinister look.

Yesterday, a distinguished guest came to him and said that he was going to see Shen Qingli tonight.

The distinguished guest seemed to have some relationship with the little emperor, and he looked quite dignified, and between his words, he felt that the man seemed to be hostile to Shen Qingli.

It seems that Shen Qingli's cell will not be so peaceful tonight.

There was some excitement and gloating in his eyes, looking forward to the good show of the evening.

The sun was setting, and night fell quickly.

Shen Qingli looked at the bleak moonlight cast from the window, stretched out her hand to let the moonlight pass through her fingers, only felt that the moonlight tonight was not as gentle as the previous few days, it seemed a little more chilly.

She put her hands back and sat leaning against the wall, her thin back leaning against the cold soil wall, which made her body tremble a little.

I don't know if she was thinking too much, she felt that the atmosphere tonight seemed a little unusual.

Looking at a bug crawling over the wall, she thought to herself, could it be that there will be some uninvited guest coming tonight.

The little bug crawled into the shadows and couldn't see where it was. She looked away silently, thinking in her heart, maybe it was the man in the palace who wanted to come over and personally force her to hand over Lu Huaiqi's evidence?
Hearing the low cries of the prisoners faintly coming from the prison, she shook her head as usual every night, maybe she was thinking too much.

She is like this now, the little emperor may not condescend to come to her in person, and just as she thought before, the little emperor really wants to slander Lu Huaiqi, if he can't fabricate any criminal evidence, why bother to bother From her point of view, there is absolutely no need for the little emperor to do such a labor-intensive thing.

Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved, leaned her head back, and planned to just close her eyes and sleep for a while.

She is a little lethargic now, probably because she eats too little every day and can't lift her spirits, and her body always feels tired.

When she was leaning against the earth wall and was about to fall asleep drowsily, she felt Ran Mo beside her standing up suddenly, as if she was guarding against something.

She opened her eyes and woke up, only to hear footsteps coming from the end of the corridor.

Eyebrows moved, she grabbed the prison uniform with her hands, and thought to herself, sure enough, someone is here tonight.

She had no doubt that the person who came was coming towards her.

The footsteps gradually approached, Shen Qingli narrowed his eyes and looked at the few people coming over there.

Behind are several yamen servants and Cao Qiuwan, while the leader in front is a man in a red-purple cloak.

Looking at the figure and height, Shen Qingli guessed that it should be a woman.

Ran Mo's whole body was tense, and she stood beside Shen Qingli, her eyes fixed on the group of people.

She felt a little uneasy, the peace of the past few days was still temporary after all, those people who had unexpected plans couldn't hold back after just a few days, and rushed over to try to harm Madam.

She clenched her hands tightly, she must protect Madam tonight, and not let those people hurt Madam.

Shen Qingli's mood was beyond what she had imagined. Perhaps she had expected it a long time ago. No one would want her to stay here so peacefully. Those wolves who were secretly observing her had been waiting for an opportunity to strike her fatally. .

She is Lu Huaiqi's wife, and of course those people will not let go of such a good opportunity for revenge.She is not afraid of these things, there are only two things that can make her afraid, one is that Lu Huaiqi will not be able to return to her side, and the other is that she will not be able to save her child from those wicked people.

Other than that, no one or anything can make any waves for her now.

The movement in front of the prison surprised Shen Qingli. When she looked up, those people had already arrived in front of her cell. Cao Qiuwan was beside the woman in the red-purple cloak, looking down at her with her chin up.

Shen Qingli deciphered a piece of news from his unconcealable complacency, it was not easy to get this woman tonight.Otherwise, Cao Qiuwan, a Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, would not come to meet him in person, and Cao Qiuwan's eyes clearly said that she would not escape this disaster tonight.

She looked at the woman who hid her face under the cloak, and only saw a delicate chin as white as porcelain.

But it is undoubtedly a woman, such a smooth and fair skin cannot be owned by a man.

It's just that she didn't seem to know any women who had any grudges in Xiliang.

Thinking of this in her heart, she became more curious about the appearance and identity of the woman in front of her.

Ran Mo looked at the mysterious woman standing outside the prison, and felt that the man was very familiar to her, could it be someone she knew well.

The woman seemed to be aware of the two people's curiosity about her true face, she pursed her lips and smiled, her red lips were slightly curved with sarcasm and complacency, she gently opened her red lips, her soft voice revealed a hint of malice, "Long time no see ,younger sister."

As soon as the familiar voice came into her ears, Ran Mo's eyes widened suddenly. This voice was clearly the old enemy who had caused her young lady misfortune——Shen Qingjiao!

That vicious woman, hadn't she left Xiliang a long time ago, why did she suddenly appear here again! ?

Because of the excessive surprise, she didn't even notice that there was anything strange about Shen Qingjiao's address to Shen Qingli.

Cao Qiuwan's eyes suddenly became strange, what is the relationship between this nobleman and Shen Qingli, and how could he call her a younger sister.

After Shen Qingli heard the woman's voice, her mind suddenly became flustered. This was the first time she had such a reaction to someone else's words in these days.

But the other party clearly just "greeted" her, why she was so disturbed, this weird mood made her think.

She is the concubine's daughter of Nantan Prime Minister's Mansion, and she has never had any older sisters. Why does this person call herself like that.

Suddenly, a picture of a dream she had once flashed in her mind. A long time ago, she had dreamed of a woman who also called herself sister in this way.

At that time, because the dream was too weird, she was deeply impressed by the voice of the woman in the dream. Now that she recalled it, it was very similar to the voice of the mysterious woman in front of her.

Looking at the woman outside the prison with complicated eyes, she asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
