Chapter 279 Prison Visit
In the prison, the sound of shackles sounded, and in the corner, a man with disheveled hair staggered over. He grabbed Wang Li's hand through the railing and asked, "Why are you here?"
Wang Yueyue looked at her fallen father in front of her, tears streaming down her face, "Dad, it was I who begged Qianqian, and she begged the General, who was so kind that he allowed us to come and see you."
"Dad!" Wang Yueyue sobbed uncomfortably as she put the food box in her hand on the ground, opened it, took out a shortbread cake, and handed it to her, "This is a cake that my mother and I just baked early in the morning.
It’s hot, please eat it quickly.”
Wang Feng opened his mouth wide, took a big bite, and swallowed it wholeheartedly, looking very embarrassed.
Wang Yueyue felt sad for a moment and persuaded: "If you know anything, tell the adults. The adults don't remember the faults of the villain and will definitely let you go."
Wang Feng looked at his daughter's face and shook his head silently.
Mrs. Wang Li grabbed Wang Feng's wrist and said, "Dad, you have to think about it carefully. You must not be the one who takes the blame and takes the blame for others."
"Our family has no worries about food and drink. You don't have to associate with bandits. I really don't believe what they say."
After hearing Wang Li's words, Wang Feng suddenly laughed and said with deep eyes, "Don't you know why our family doesn't have to worry about food and drink?"
Mrs. Wang Li was stunned, "You work as a housekeeper in the Hu family, so you naturally have a monthly salary. You give it to my family every month."
"The Hu family has a great business, so why would they let a person from a peasant family with no foundation be their housekeeper?" Wang Feng asked again.
Wang Li's heart began to panic inexplicably.
"That was once when Mr. Hu encountered bandits and you saved him. He was grateful for your life-saving grace, so he..."
"Aren't you curious, I come from a peasant family and my parents died early, so why do I have martial arts skills with me? Why did the bandits escape after seeing me without beating me a few times?"
Wang Li's face suddenly turned pale, and her lips trembled, "How is that possible?"
"How is that impossible!"
Wang Feng smiled sadly: "Eighteen years ago, I was spotted by the bandit Feng Wei. It was he who taught me martial arts. It was he who let me lurk in Jiangcheng and be ready to kill at any time."
"No, it won't happen." Mrs. Wang Li shook her head vigorously, and Wang Yueyue beside her was also panicked and didn't know what to do.
Wang Feng snorted coldly, "I know that one day, I will be in this situation, so after we had Yue'er, I was secretly happy and uncomfortable."
"I'm glad she is a woman. If I am punished, she will be punished less."
"Over the years, I have kept you mother and daughter in Fu'an Village. I rarely go back. I also want to try to distance myself from you. If I am caught, you can escape unscathed."
Wang Feng had a dull look on his face and said in a desperate tone: "It's not that I just want to be a bandit, but I've always been helpless and ended up in this situation. I have nothing to say."
"No..." Wang Li was unwilling to give in, "As long as you confess everything, Mr. Cao will spare your life."
Wang Feng silently took a few steps back, "It's useless. You go back."
"Dad, you must never give up." Wang Yueyue grabbed the railing with both hands and cried hysterically.
Wang Feng's cold eyes looked past her to the corridor outside the prison, and shouted: "Xia Qianqian, I have finally become a prisoner. Now you should be satisfied. You came here to see my joke!"
"Dad, don't be like this." Wang Feng's tone made Wang Yueyue frightened. If it weren't for Qianqian, those people would never have let their mother and daughter in.
"Xia Qianqian, you villain, come out here." Wang Feng continued to roar.
There were soft footsteps in the long corridor of the prison. Xia Qianqian came slowly, looking at the people in the prison indifferently, "Are you looking for me?"
Wang Feng stood in the center of the prison, with a ray of sunlight projected diagonally from the small window above his head, hitting the side of his face.
The face that had always been serious and gloomy, in the dark prison, looked haggard, but his expression was a bit softer.
"Yue'er is a good child, and she shouldn't be dragged down by me."
"Master Cao has clear punishments. I don't think he will implicate innocent people and misjudge good people."
"My mother-in-law is very talkative, but she has no evil intentions. That's why Yue'er is like her. I don't need to worry about her character."
Wang Feng's words seemed to be explaining the funeral arrangements.
Xia Qianqian heard the clue and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with me whether they are good or bad."
"You are Yue'er's friend. If you are not willing to help, I won't be able to see them today. I will leave them to you."
"Those are your wife and daughter..." Xia Qianqian emphasized, "I can't afford their safety?"
"If you can't afford it, there will be people behind you who can."
Wang Feng looked at her without blinking, and said quietly: "I believe you, so..."
He suddenly lowered his voice and reminded: "A hunting trap has been added to the outer wall. Be careful when you go back and don't trap your feet."
Xia Qianqian frowned, not understanding what he meant.
Mrs. Wang Li had already cried and collapsed on the ground. She was supported by Wang Yueyue and murmured: "How could it happen? Why did it become like this? No, no..."
Wang Yueyue looked back at her father in prison, and at the same time looked down at her mother in her arms. She was frightened for a moment.
"Let's go!"
After explaining the matter, Wang Feng seemed to have had a thousand pounds lifted off his shoulders. His legs went weak and he staggered back a few steps.
With the sound of the iron chain, he collapsed on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, becoming numb and dull.
"Daddy, daddy!" Wang Yueyue called out loudly.
The jailer on the side stepped forward and urged: "The visiting time is up, please get out quickly."
"Okay, let's go now!" Xia Qianqian helped Wang Yueyue up and warned: "Help your mother get up, we are going out."
The three of them helped each other and walked out. After walking a few steps, Wang Li suddenly turned back and looked at the person huddled at the base of the wall, tears welling up from the corners of her eyes.
What does this difference mean?
Wang Li's heart is as clear as a mirror.
He was not unkind to her. Ever since they got married, he had never left her without food or clothing.
After he gave birth to his daughter, he never disliked her and regarded her as a treasure. She always felt that she was lucky.
Although she lives in Fu'an Village, the man works for a wealthy family in Jiangcheng. In the village, he is extremely handsome.
But who knew that when the bad news suddenly came, she seemed to have fallen into an abyss, unwilling to believe this fact.
With a dazed look on her face, Ms. Wang and Li's feet felt like they were stepping on cotton, one deep and one shallow, and she was dragged out of the prison door by her daughter.
At the gate, Xia Qianqian put them on the carriage and warned: "Watch your mother carefully."
Wang Yueyue shed tears and helped Mrs. Wang Li get into the carriage.
Behind him, Ji Zimo stepped forward slowly and asked, "What did Wang Feng say to you last?"
"He said he put a hunting trap under the outer wall of his house and asked me to be careful."
Ji Zimo answered: "This is a code word. Xiao Yong, go and take a look. Is there anything unusual there?"
"Yes!"
Xia Yong took the order and left.
Xia Qianqian thought for a while and then said: "Today, Wang Feng entrusted his wife and daughter to me in exchange for the things he sent. If you are satisfied with the things after seeing them, you will send someone to secretly protect their safety.
”
Wang Feng has been unwilling to hand over his things because someone threatened him with his wife and daughter.
