Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The short hooligan did not dare to look Chu Qingzhi in the eye. The moment he saw Chu Qingzhi, he felt a toothache, a headache, a faceache, and pain everywhere.

The constable walked over and looked at Chu Qingzhi’s sleeve. It was indeed stained with blood.

He waved his hand. “Take her away.”

When Chu Qingzhi walked past Chu Xuhua, she said, “Brother, go find Tang Jinghong. He can save me.”

Chu Xuhua nodded with a firm expression. “Qingzhi, I’ll go back and find

Brother Jinghong immediately.”

Chu Qingzhi said calmly, “There’s no hurry. Brother, remember to buy the sugar.”

Chu Xuhua was speechless.

She was still thinking about doing business at a time like this.

However, he still did as he was told. He quickly bought sugar and rushed back to look for Tang Jinghong.

When Chu Qingzhi arrived at the government office, it was already late. She was sent to jail and would be interrogated the next day.

When the Chu family found out that Chu Qingzhi had been taken away by the constables, they were frightened out of their wits. Chu Xuhua comforted them for a long time before everyone calmed down. Then, they went to the Tang family to look for Tang Jinghong. Tang Jinghong was not around, so the Chu family hurriedly went to the village entrance to wait for Tang Jinghong to return.

Tang Jinghong only returned after dark. He was very surprised to see the Chu family. “Why are you all here?”

Chu Xuhua hurriedly went forward. “Brother Jinghong, save Qingzhi.”

What happened to that girl… Tang Jinghong frowned and asked, “Tell me what happened first.”

Chu Xuhua quickly told him everything. “Brother Jinghong, can you help Qingzhi out?”

She is actually in jail… Tang Jinghong was shocked and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He comforted them. “Go home first. I’ll go to the county office to take a look.”

Chu Xuhua hurriedly said, “Brother Jinghong, I’ll go with you.”

Tang Jinghong had a secret identity and it was not convenient for him to bring anyone along. “Stay at home and take care of your family. Do as Qingzhi says. I guarantee that she will be fine.”

Chu Xuhua looked at Tang Jinghong, who was filled with a calm aura, and slowly calmed down. “Then I’ll leave everything to you, Brother Jinghong.”

The others were panicking and did not know what to do. They only looked at Tang Jinghong helplessly.

Tang Jinghong changed direction and headed for the county office. He was not worried about Chu Qingzhi. That girl was not an ordinary person. Even without him, she could escape. She was looking to him for help because it was the most convenient and simple method.

In the prison of the county office.

The prison was made of wood. It was dark, damp, and filled with an unpleasant smell.

Chu Qingzhi was locked in a cell in the middle by the constable. Without saying a word to her, the constable left.

Chu Qingzhi looked around and suddenly realized that there was someone sitting in the corner.

She narrowed her eyes and slowly approached.

It was a girl. She was wearing a dirty prison uniform and her hair was messy. She sat there curled up and did not move, as if she was dead.

Chu Qingzhi asked softly, “Who are you?”

The girl moved slightly and slowly raised her face to meet a pair of clear and bright eyes. It was these eyes that made her want to speak. “Who are you?”

Chu Qingzhi told the truth. Anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to tell the truth. “My name is Chu Qingzhi. I was falsely accused of hitting a few hooligans and was imprisoned.”

The girl stared at Chu Qingzhi for a while and finally opened herself up. “I’m Shen Ruyue, the servant girl of Second Madam Zhao of the Zhao family. I was made a scapegoat for someone else and was sent to jail.”

Chu Qingzhi suddenly had an idea. Servant girls were usually very talented and meticulous. If it was possible, she would take her back to be an assistant. There were so many things to do at home now, and she could not handle it alone.

She sat next to Shen Ruyue and said in a casual tone, “How long have you been here?”

Shen Ruyue said resignedly, “It’s been more than a year.”

Chu Qingzhi picked up a piece of hay and played with it. “Why didn’t your master save you?”

Shen Ruyue revealed a bitter smile. “She was the one who pushed me out to take the blame. Why would she save me?”

Chu Qingzhi was interested. “What exactly did you take the blame for?”

Shen Ruyue said with a sigh, “One day, Madam invited a few rich madams in the county to eat fresh persimmons. In the end, one of the rich madams vomited and had diarrhea after eating the persimmons. Her lips and mouth were pale and she was diagnosed by the doctor as poisoned. At that time, no one could find the person who poisoned her. In order to save their reputation, Madam said that I did it.”

Chu Qingzhi was speechless. “How can anyone believe that?”

Tears welled up in Shen Ruyue’s eyes. “They all did. At that time, I liked that rich madam’s son, but that madam didn’t agree. Even if I was willing to be a concubine, she wouldn’t agree. Everyone thought that I held a grudge and waited for an opportunity to poison her.”

Chu Qingzhi took a pity on her. “No wonder.”

Shen Ruyue was hopeless. “Thank you for listening to me so patiently. I’m seriously ill now and don’t have much time left.”

She wiped her tears. “After I die, these constables will throw me into a mass grave. My body will probably be eaten by wild dogs and beasts. There will be blood and remains all over the ground. This will be my end.”

Chu Qingzhi felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that. She reached out and patted Shen Ruyue’s shoulder. “Let me ask you, if I save you and can cure you, how will you repay me?”

Shen Ruyue looked at Chu Qingzhi in a daze. Then, she said firmly, word by word, “I’ll give my life to you.”

Whoever could pull her out of such a swamp, she would definitely repay them with her life.

Chu Qingzhi smiled casually. “Wait for my good news.”

Shen Ruyue looked at Chu Qingzhi, who had an ordinary appearance but an outstanding temperament and aura. Slowly, light appeared in her eyes. “Yes..”
