Chapter 16: It makes people panic.
"Yes!"
The police immediately stepped forward to hold them down and forced them to go out.
The second aunt and others struggled in fear, but they were beaten and kicked without mercy, and they immediately did not dare to do it again.
The group of people who had been so happy just now were now in disgrace and were instantly thrown into hell.
Ye Qingran followed outside silently and cooperatively, but she was not beaten. She looked back at the frightened uncle Ye Guoliang and others, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Why did the Wan'an County Magistrate leave his uncle's family alone?
Everyone left quickly, and the lobby was so quiet that it was disturbing.
Ye Guoliang looked calm on the surface, but the anxiety between his brows and eyes still revealed the uneasiness in his heart.
However, they saw the Wan'an County Magistrate glance at them, and then said: "Come in with me."
The family followed the magistrate anxiously, and after a while, they arrived at the back hall.
Passing by the screen, there was a round sandalwood table placed behind it, with several chairs scattered around.
When several people were puzzled, Wan'an County Magistrate suddenly turned around and hugged them politely, "Master Ye, please sit down."
Ye Guoliang was confused for a moment, and then he was flattered: "Ah? Sir, what are you...
The county magistrate smiled kindly and explained: "I am here to await the arrival of the three of you on the orders of Concubine Xian."
Concubine Xian ?
The eldest aunt and Ye Ziqiang looked at each other in disbelief. Did the empress finally send someone to rescue them? !
That dead girl Ye Qingran also said that the empress doesn't care about them. Look, a family is still a family after all! Never abandon them!
Ye Guoliang came back to his senses, his eyes were filled with excitement, and his heart was filled with the joy of avenging his shame.
He really wanted to see Ye Qingran's expression when he learned about this!
But then the county magistrate said: "This matter involves a wide range of things. The empress told me to be careful and not to let the news leak."
He seemed to be stating, but in fact he was reminding them not to show off to others. Only by keeping a low profile can you hide everything and escape everything!
Ye Guoliang's mind suddenly sobered up. What's the point of talking fast? The one who can laugh till the end alive is the real winner!
"Your Majesty, that's right!"
The county magistrate laughed a few times and ordered the maidservant: "Bring the dishes."
Soon, the maidservants who had been waiting outside filed in with dinner plates and various kinds of meat. The dishes were full of flavor and aroma, and the three of them rushed to get them into their noses. Their hungry stomachs began to growl. Even if they tried to restrain themselves, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The county magistrate was not surprised, and said with a normal expression: "You guys eat first, and when your stomachs are full, someone will take you to bathe and change clothes."
The few people looked at the magistrate blankly, and they became more and more aware that their good life was now in danger. It's really back!
After saying this, the county magistrate left on the pretext of attending to official business, leaving the dining space for their family. Without outsiders, they finally had no need to be restrained and couldn't wait to eat and drink.
They were enjoying the big fish and meat here, but at that time Ye Qingran and others were imprisoned in a dark and damp prison.
Disillusioned, the second aunt wiped her tears in grievance and kept complaining: "It's better now. We haven't finished the meal, but we are about to get the prison meal!"
The second uncle impatiently interrupted: "Okay, stop complaining. Are you upset?"
When he said that, the second aunt became more enthusiastic and pointed at his nose before scolding: "I have been suffering for half my life. Not only have I not enjoyed the blessings of old age, but I have been exiled for eight lifetimes! Damn it! Why are you so embarrassed?"
How could the second uncle take the blame? He immediately asked, "If you hadn't stayed in the General's Mansion, what would have happened to us? You were greedy and suffered the consequences, and you blamed me instead. "
Okay! What's the point of saying this now? It's just a joke!"
Ye Anyun interrupted the two of them in annoyance, but he didn't expect that his mother, who had listened to him before, didn't show any dignity at all. "What qualifications do you have to teach your mother? In the end, you still don't live up to expectations! You worked hard with your cousin, and she became the mother-in-law! What about you? You have no future in this life!"
Ye Anyun's face turned pale. He looked at his mother with a hurt expression, as if he didn't recognize her anymore.
When the second uncle saw that his daughter was implicated, he became furious.
The family teased each other, quarreled and scolded each other there. In contrast, Ye Qingran's family, who was in the same cell, had a very peaceful time.
Now that he had time, Ye Qingran applied medicine to Ye Zhuoyu's whip wounds. The five wounds were scattered everywhere and bandaged separately.
"I don't know how long the county magistrate plans to lock us up. The humidity in the prison is not conducive to wound recovery, so we can only recover slowly."
"Okay, I know." Ye Zhuoyu smiled, looking very relaxed.
Having said that, there are actually no conditions to support them. Based on their current situation, it is a virtue of their ancestors that they do not deteriorate to the point of endangering their lives.
Even after he was released from prison, he still had to rush on the road under the bright sun, dripping with sweat, which was still detrimental to the wound.
Such was the condition, Ye Qingran could only give him the best modern wound medicine, and secretly made moisture-proof treatment on his clothes, hoping to speed up his recovery.
I don't know how long it took, but the noise of the family next to me finally stopped. Now the second aunt had offended the whole family. She was hungry and felt uncomfortable. She leaned against the wall alone and cried miserably.
Footsteps gradually came from the empty corridor. Ye Qingran and Ye Guodong looked keenly. Not long after, a fierce-looking jailer appeared outside.
"Why are you mourning? It's time to eat!"
He threw the barrel on the ground with a clang, placed several pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the ground, and then served rice at will like feeding a dog.
Everyone present had never eaten prison food before, and this first experience directly caused physical and mental discomfort.
Although the food given by the officer who escorted them was very poor, it was put in their hands at least, unlike this, where they were fed directly to the dogs!
It's really humiliating!
Ye Qinglian was extremely hungry, pursed her lips, endured the humiliation and took the lead in lifting it up.
However, as soon as he brought the dish closer, he exclaimed in surprise in the next second: "It's sour?!"
The jailer raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "It's good to have something to eat! How dare you pick and choose?"
Ye Qinglian was jealous. Circle: "I..."
Ye Guodong stopped him calmly: "The official is right, some are good to eat, please step back."
The official glanced at him condescendingly, and coldly snorted: "You know what's going on."
Wait. After scooping up all the rotten rice, he threw the spoon back into the bucket, hummed a tune and carried the bucket away.
Ye Guodong sighed lightly, stepped forward to pick up a bowl of rice, and gave it to Ye Zhuoyu first.
As Ye Qingran passed by, a vague smell quietly entered her nose.
Ye Qingran suddenly raised his head and saw Ye Zhuoyu thanking his father, picking up a piece of sour rice with chopsticks and putting it into his mouth.
She regretted it and kicked it violently. Ye Zhuoyu was caught off guard and his hands shook. The chopsticks fell and the rice grains spilled on the ground.
"Don't eat it! There's something wrong with this meal!"
