Qi Surong raised her head, looked at Luo Yanyi outside the cell indifferently, and said, "Miss Luo would come to such a dirty place. Aren't you afraid of insulting your status?"
"Haha." Luo Yanyi shook her fan and smiled, "No matter what, I want to see with my own eyes how miserable you are now."
"Then you saw it, are you satisfied?" In order to see her miserable state, she even ignored her identity. She was really persistent. What had she done to make her resent her so much? Qi Surong was really confused.
"Hahaha, I'm quite satisfied." Luo Yanyi said proudly, "Qi Surong, seeing as we have known each other before, if you beg me, I will find someone to help Cao Xiang's eyes be cured and reduce your punishment. ,how?"
"Don't bother." Qi Surong bent his knees and fiddled with a half-cut chopstick without looking at her.
"Hmph, you are still so ignorant." Luo Yanyi snorted, "You have to think clearly, five years of imprisonment is no joke. You will be tortured until you are out of shape, so don't blame me."
"Are you really going to let me go if I beg you?" Qi Surong said with a smile, "Isn't it because of you that I am in jail today?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Luo Yanyi said with a sneer, "It was your own misbehavior that allowed Cao Xiang to get close to you, but you refused to give in, and you also treated people with poisonous hands. Mr. Zhou only sentenced you to five years. That's very merciful. It's not an exaggeration for a woman as dissolute as you to just dip into a pig cage."
A cold light flashed in Qi Surong's eyes, she was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked: "Miss Luo, I heard that you are getting engaged soon?"
"Haha, I didn't expect you to have heard about it too?" Luo Yanyi looked happy and said quite proudly, "I am about to be engaged to the young master of Dongyuan Marquis, and one day I will be the noble wife of the Marquis of the Marquis."
"Oh? I wonder who was the matchmaker for you?" Qi Surong asked again.
"What's the purpose of asking this?" Luo Yanyi looked at her suspiciously.
"As far as I know, the young Marquis has outstanding character, first-class appearance, gentleness, and a modest personality. He is known as one of the four young masters in the capital."
"That's right." Luo Yanyi was overjoyed, raised her chin and said, "A man of this kind and good looks is a perfect match for me."
Qi Surong sneered.
"What's so ridiculous?" Luo Yanyi said displeased, "With your current status, I'm afraid you will have to marry a rough man in the future and work hard all your life without any leisure."
"Even so, it's better than being a widow."
"What?" Luo Yanyi stared at her, "You are so brave, you actually cursed the young marquis!"
Qi Surong remained calm, drawing on the ground casually with her chopsticks, and said calmly: "Didn't your matchmaker tell you that the young Marquis is weak and needs constant decoction and medicine every day. If he doesn't take care of himself properly, his life will be in danger?"
Luo Yanyi looked at her in disbelief and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense!"
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not." Qi Surong looked calm.
Luo Yanyi was surprised for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "I know, you want to ruin my good marriage, so you are deliberately alarmist. You are so insidious, I will not be fooled."
"You think I'm insidious, so I'm insidious. In fact, if you become a widow in the future, I should be happy." Qi Surong said, "You are too hot-tempered and can't be tolerated by others. If you force yourself to be married to the young Marquis, I'm afraid you will lose your temper." I just hope that the young prince can live longer."
"You!" Luo Yanyi pointed at her and said angrily, "I will never believe your nonsense. You are just jealous of me, so you deliberately made up lies to scare me."
Qi Surong shook her head and sighed: "Luo Yanyi, you are about to get married, why are you still so unimproved? It will be obvious if you send someone to check whether it is a lie? This matter concerns you. For a lifetime of happiness, it is always better to be cautious? But if you don’t care at all, then just pretend you haven’t heard of it and just happily be your wife of the Marquis."
Luo Yanyi's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty, and she stared at Qi Surong for a long time. Finally, she couldn't care less, stamped her feet, and walked away.
Qi Surong sighed, hugging her knees and thinking silently. What she just said was not entirely a lie. Because the young Marquis had been seriously injured once, his health was not in good shape and he often needed nourishing soups. But he was not a short-lived person. Soon after, Dongyuan Marquis found a miracle doctor for him, who completely cured his illness. In the previous life, the Luo family relied on their in-law relationship with the Hou Mansion to avoid the power struggles of several princes and remained in a high position.
Originally, if Luo Yanyi knew how to leave a way for others to survive, or not to show off her power in front of her, she would not have said this. It's a pity that some people don't know how to restrain themselves and are narrow-minded. What she said just now was right, she just wanted to ruin her good marriage. The young marquis is famous for his good temper in the capital, and I'm afraid he won't be able to control this young lady in the future. Her words today might give him peace for the rest of his life.
"I didn't expect you to be in jail and still look good." While he was deep in thought, a familiar voice came over.
Qi Surong looked up and saw that it was Feng Zhan.
"Young master Feng, you are well." Qi Surong smiled at him.
"You used to call me 'Brother Feng'." Feng Zhan looked at her deeply.
"Brother Feng, we have been away for many years, but I didn't want to meet again in such a situation."
"Yes." Feng Zhan sighed, "I never met you last time when we were doing embroidery. When we met again, we were in prison. How are you...?"
"Everything is fine, thank you Brother Feng for your concern."
Feng Zhan looked at her blood-stained feet and said with pity: "How can you be okay with you looking like this? Su Rong, don't worry, I won't let you suffer this injustice in vain, I will definitely restore your innocence and rescue you." cage."
"Thank you, Brother Feng." Qi Surong suddenly felt something in his heart and said, "Brother Feng, Surong has something to ask for today."
"But it doesn't matter."
"So..." Qi Surong whispered in detail, and Feng Zhan nodded repeatedly.
The next day, when the jailer came to inspect, he saw Qi Surong curled up on the ground with a painful expression.
He quickly opened the cell and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"I feel so uncomfortable..." Qi Surong hugged her belly, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, her lips turned white, and her consciousness was groggy.
"Please bear with it for now. I'll call the doctor right away." This jailer had been taken care of by the Qi family, Feng Zhan and others. He usually took good care of Qi Surong. When he saw that she was sick, he immediately went to see the doctor.
The doctor came quickly. After careful diagnosis and treatment, he said: "This girl has wind evil in her body, and her tuberculosis is bulging. She may have an emergency and needs to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible."
"Go to the hospital?" the jailer said hesitantly, "She is a prisoner, how can she leave?"
"This..." the doctor said worriedly, "if it is not treated in time, my life may be in danger."
Just when the jailer didn't know what to do, Feng Zhan walked in and said in a loud voice: "I will take her out."
The jailer said, "Sir, this may be against the rules."
"Don't worry, since I dare to take her out, I am in compliance with the rules." Feng Zhan said, "I will personally complain to Mr. Zhou later. I will be the guarantee and ask for medical treatment on behalf of Miss Qi. (This This system was pioneered by Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. Prior to this, government offices set up special sick prison hospitals where ordinary prisoners could go to seek medical treatment when they were seriously ill.)"
Qi Surong was not a repeat offender, and Feng Zhan was the guarantor. Zhou Du would give him face no matter what.
As a businessman, Gu Jinyun was not in a position to act, but it was okay to ask Feng Zhan, a fourth-rank official, for help. The emperor said that she couldn't survive even five days in prison, so she would escape from the prison within five days and wait for news about Gu Jinyun and the others under Feng Zhan's protection.
She asked Ping'er to bring some medicine in advance. After taking it, it would cause symptoms similar to acute illness. She then asked Feng Zhan to help ask for medical treatment, and she left the prison as a matter of course.
Sure enough, Feng Zhan's complaint was quickly approved by Zhou Du. He rented a separate courtyard and placed Qi Surong in it.
The doctor finished the consultation, left the medicine and left.
Seeing Qi Surong's painful look, Feng Zhan frowned and said, "The medicine you administered is too heavy."
"If it's not serious, I might not be able to meet the requirements for medical parole." Qi Surong replied weakly.
Feng Zhan walked to the bed, pulled the quilt for her, and said softly: "You have a good rest, don't worry, everything is up to me."
"Thank you, Brother Feng, for helping me. Surong owes you a favor."
"Why do you and I need to say thank you? I..." Feng Zhan looked at her and was about to say something, but he saw that she had slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Feng Zhan stared at her quietly. He hadn't seen her for many years, but he didn't know that she had become so stoic. I lost my noble identity, but I never lost my noble heart. The woman in front of him was indeed the one he once loved, and now that he saw her, his feelings became clearer.
After Feng Zhan left the room, he immediately sent a letter to the Qi family, informing them of Qi Surong's situation.
The Qi family were surprised and happy when they received the letter. Qi's mother immediately prepared her things and took her maid to Feng Zhan's villa.
Zhou Du only approved ten days. If the condition does not recover, he must apply for an extension; if he recovers, he must be sent back to prison immediately; if the prisoner escapes or dies accidentally during medical treatment, Feng Zhan, as the guarantor, must , the prisoner will bear corresponding responsibility according to the severity of his sentence.
Qi Surong did owe Feng Zhan a big favor this time. Not only that, if the Feng family knew about Feng Zhan's actions, they might be criticized.
Sure enough, after Feng Zhan returned home, he was immediately scolded by Mr. Feng, scolding him for not knowing the importance and disregarding the Feng family's reputation.
Feng Zhan didn't care, and even ignored the minister's impeachment. As long as it is something he is determined to do, he will not hesitate at all. Nor does he care about the criticism of the world.
