In the capital prison, all the people from the Xuanning Hou Mansion were imprisoned here. After all, they were involved in the most serious crime of treason, so neither men nor women were left behind.
Even the second son Su Jingmo, who had defected to Chu Jihan before the battle, was not spared, but he was imprisoned in a separate cell next to him.
However, the guards in the cell tacitly understood that Su Jingmo seemed to be imprisoned in the sky prison like the Su family, but because of his actions at that time, it was estimated that the prince of Anjun Prince would intercede for him, and he would not really get the chance. crime.
The same Su family also knew this. Although they also knew that if they did this rebellion, they would expect results like today, but they still couldn't help but anger Su Jingmo, when the lives of others were at stake. , he, a person who might escape, will naturally be hostile.
Su Jingmo didn't pay attention to other people's opinions. He just closed his eyes and rested in front of the wall, ignoring the voices in the cell on the other side or the voices of abuse or pleading.
In the cell where the female prisoners were held, some people were terrified, and some were crying incessantly, talking about how they were innocent and how they were implicated without knowing it, but no one cared what they were saying.
Su Jiaxin huddled up in a ball in the corner, with her mother holding her next to her, but this did not give her any sense of security.
She was born to be well-dressed and well-fed, and everything in the Hou Mansion was the best. She had never seen a place like this before. She even remembered seeing the blood stains in the interrogation room when she came in, which reminded her of He couldn't help but tremble.
"Mom, when can we go out?" Su Jia asked absently.
The third lady secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but because her hands were covered in dust, a black mark was left where she wiped.
"Don't be afraid. It's impossible for your father and others to rebel. They must have been framed. We will be able to go home soon." The third lady tried her best to comfort Su Jiaxin.
"Why are eldest sister and Su Lanxin okay? Why don't they need to be put in a cell?" Su Jiaxin said tremblingly.
The traces in the corners of the third lady's eyes were washed away by tears again, "They are married daughters. The so-called water thrown by married daughters naturally has nothing to do with the Su family. It's all because of my mother's fault. She just wants you to be here more." If you stay at home for a few years, if our ancestors had asked you to marry into the Jiang family when they were filial piety years ago, you wouldn't have to suffer like this now."
Listening to the third lady's words, Su Jiaxin finally cried out, "Oh oh oh oh, eldest sister, why doesn't she save me? She can obviously save me."
Su Jia knew psychologically that she was implicated in the rebellion of her uncle and father. This was really no wonder of Su Ningxin, but she felt unsatisfied. She knew that as long as her eldest sister said a few words for her, she would be allowed to leave the Su family.
It's like you're about to climb out of a swamp, but the person pulling you suddenly lets go of the rope and you fall back in again.
While the mother and daughter were holding their heads and crying, there was the sound of chains shaking at the door, and then the door opened with a creak, making a harsh sound, and then the light from outside shone into the inside and quickly disappeared.
Everyone looked at the person coming down the stairs, and saw her with neat buns and neat clothes, walking slowly over with a food box in her hand.
"Su Lanxin." The crying lady looked at the visitor and shouted, and then her eyes burst with hope, "Lan Xin, Lan Xin, are you here to save us?"
"Auntie, be careful, I'm just a little girl who can't do anything. You guys are the only ones who are capable." Su Lanxin said in a sinister manner with a mocking smile on her lips.
Then Su Lanxin looked at the guard on the side, immediately changed to a flattering smile, and took off a jade bracelet of excellent quality from her wrist, "Brother, you see my mother is not in good health, she really can't stand this crowding, you Can you change her to a better cell?"
The prison head looked at the bracelet at the small window above his head, and then said with a smile, "It's always good to be filial. Which one is your mother?"
Su Lanxin pointed to Aunt Zhao who was lying on the wooden fence and looking at her longingly, "This is my mother, please take care of her."
"It's a small matter." The cell leader said casually, then took out the key from his waist and opened the door.
He didn't lie. Almost no one who entered this prison got out alive. Besides, the prince's mansion still committed the serious crime of treason. His care only provided him with better food, which was not much compared to the price of the bracelet. What's the matter? Besides, he doesn't need to pay for food.
The cell leader walked over and opened the cell door, kicked the eldest lady who was trying to get out of the door, kicked her straight to the ground, then pulled Aunt Zhao and locked her into the empty cell next to her. received the same treatment as Su Jingmo.
Before the cell boss locked Aunt Zhao's door, Su Lanxin walked in with the food box, and then the cell boss locked the door, "Fifteen minutes later, I will let you out."
Su Lanxin suppressed the fear in her heart and thanked him, "Thank you, big brother."
After that, Su Lanxin took out the contents of the food box and put them on the table for Aunt Zhao, and said to Aunt Zhao, "Auntie, you can eat and sleep well here. I will definitely find a way to rescue you."
Aunt Zhao picked up her chopsticks and started eating, somewhat disregarding the usual etiquette. They were afraid that they would not be able to eat in the prison, and the food given by the prison boss was all rotten. Not only was it rotten, but the food was very small. There was not enough food for the female member of the Su family in that cell. She almost hadn't eaten since she came in.
Aunt Zhao took the rice into her mouth and said, "That's all I want, but you must find a way to save your brother, he is still so young."
"Mom, I will find a way." Seeing Aunt Zhao's current state, Su Lanxin felt very uncomfortable.
When Aunt Zhao heard what Su Lanxin said, she forgot about the food in her mouth, put down the bowl and said, "What can you do? Don't lie to me. Don't I know you? You were very cautious when you were in the Hou Mansion. The Duke’s Mansion is also not taken seriously.”
"You just need to be good and leave your brother and me alone. This is the crime of beheading in the Su Mansion. Don't implicate you. But now that the Hou Mansion has fallen, your life in the Duke's Mansion will probably be even more difficult. But don't be pushy, make concessions in everything, as long as you can live there is always hope." Aunt Zhao said earnestly, holding Su Lanxin's hand.
Su Lanxin burst into tears, "No, aunt, don't worry, I'll beg the eldest sister, she will definitely have a way. You see, visitors are never allowed in this prison, but I begged the eldest sister and they let me Come in."
