Chapter 660 is the mascot of the Fengluan Kingdom
"Miss Su can rest assured. Pei will at most fine her some silver and give her some beatings. That's fine!"
They had already arrived at the gate of the Dali Temple prison. Looking at the dark and gloomy entrance, Su Yueyao took a deep breath and followed Chen Jingshu who was walking in front of her.
"That's fine, Yuqi is my richest husband, the fine should be mine. If he gets beaten and injured, I will be heartbroken!"
"The key is that this person was wrongly accused. I was so upset watching this!"
Chen Jingshu didn't expect Su Yueyao to say that, and immediately said with a smile: "It seems that the rumor in Fengdu that Lady Su dotes on you like her life is true!"
"Of course it's true. I treat my husband well because we are family! Besides, they treat me well too!"
"Isn't it natural for a husband to be good to his wife?" Chen Jingshu said subconsciously.
"It's not as it should be. Don't think I don't know what you men are thinking. You are capable and competent outside, but you may be wondering why you have to be tortured by us women in the backyard."
"Almost all the men are unwilling to accept it. You are marrying off just for the sake of your family and your offspring."
"After entering the woman's backyard, you have reservations in your heart. If you can, just use money, or pretend to please her on the surface, to coax the woman."
"But my husband won't, especially Yuqi, who is sincere to me and devotes himself to me. I can't let him down! There are subtle traces of affection between us."
Chen Jingshu fell into deep thought after hearing Su Yueyao's words. Since ancient times, how many men who are sincere to women can have a happy ending?
"Today's disaster is the result of the Pei family's own fault. It has nothing to do with Lady Su. If Lord Pei harbors resentment towards you because of this in the later period, then his feelings for you are not that deep!" Chen Jingshu said in a rather annoyed tone.
"Let's not talk about the Pei family's affairs being implicated by me. Even if I really don't care, Yuqi will do his best to rescue his sister. All he thinks now is that he is incapable because his mother's family affairs bother me. Even if he fails, he won't blame me afterwards."
"I only took action because I felt sorry for him. Since the Pei family got into trouble, he only sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he was fine and asked me to take good care of myself. He didn't say a word more and asked me to come forward."
"Lady Su, I am very curious, to what extent will you go about the Pei family's affairs?"
"Then you are just curious. To put it bluntly, this inaction family keeps staring at the family in my backyard every day. I am so annoyed that I will have to deal with them sooner or later."
"Now that I have this opportunity, I will naturally not let it go. I want to see if those noble families still have the heart to keep an eye on my backyard after this incident."
Chen Jingshu did not speak and walked quietly inside. He was a little confused. He had seen many heartless women in the Dali Temple, and many of the men who committed crimes were because of women.
Su Yueyao followed his footsteps without saying anything else. At this moment, she only felt the cool air in the prison and could even hear faint wailing. There were narrow cell doors on both sides and the prisoners inside were lying numbly and motionless on the ground.
She didn't want to see the miserable appearance of the prisoner, so she only looked at Chen Jingshu who was walking in front of her.
Suddenly, a prisoner shouted, "Let me go. I am innocent."
This frightened Su Yueyao so much that she subconsciously grabbed Chen Jingshu's sleeve.
Su Yueyao looked in that direction and saw a man covered in blood and dirt, with a large whip mark on his face, which made her gasp and take a step back.
"Don't be afraid!" Chen Jingshu said in a low voice.
Su Yueyao turned her head and exhaled. She found that she was pulling Chen Jingshu's sleeve directly, so she immediately let go and said, "I was startled by his sudden voice. Sorry! And he cried out for justice, so you don't care?"
"Those who are sent to the Dali Temple cells are prisoners who have solid evidence, have been tried without any problems, and refuse to confess."
"If it weren't for the fact that the Pei family is related to you by marriage, Lady Pei, as a woman, would not be punished, and she voluntarily went to the Dali Temple, so the other members of the Pei family would be under house arrest in the mansion. Otherwise, they would all be imprisoned and interrogated."
"And because of you, Pei Concubine was only placed under house arrest in a teahouse! The reason why things weren't so drastic was because of you, Grand Tutor Su." Chen Jingshu told the truth.
"I didn't expect my identity to have this function. It seems that being an official is still a good thing! At least I can protect my family at the critical moment."
"Master Su's status and position, especially your feat of giving birth to five daughters and one son, make you the mascot of Fengluan Country. Who would openly oppose you?"
Su Yueyao, who became the mascot: “…”
"If ordinary people encounter such a thing, even if they are wronged, is there nothing they can do?"
"Investigations require evidence, witnesses, testimony, and the offender's confession. If none of these are present, they will be detained. However, I feel that ordinary people will not encounter such a situation."
"Ms. Pei, I have put her in a relatively clean cell. Ms. Su, go check on her. You will need to ask for the details yourself."
"Master Chen asked her and she didn't answer?"
"I didn't interrogate her and didn't ask her anything. And I don't think she would say anything even if I asked," said Chen Jingshu.
"I still have to thank Master Chen for this time."
"Master Chen, let me ask you a question. You face these prisoners every day, but you don't have any evil spirit at all. This is rare!"
However, after Su Yueyao finished speaking, she did not notice that the yamen runners behind and in front of her stiffened for a moment, and even Chen Jingshu himself felt a little embarrassed.
The evil spirit in him is just not visible to you.
"Maybe Miss Su didn't see it?"
"Maybe!" Su Yueyao said with a curl of her lips.
I didn't see it, so is there any proof? It seems that this person is gentle on the surface, but he is not easy to mess with behind his back.
After the two of them walked along a long path, Su Yueyao saw Pei Yuwen huddled in a corner in a slightly cleaner place.
"Ms. Pei, I am Su Yueyao, your brother's wife. Do you remember me?"
Pei Yuwen in the prison heard Su Yueyao's voice, looked up at her, and ran over immediately.
"Sister Su, is that you? It's so scary here. How can you come here when you haven't even finished your confinement?" Pei Yuwen grabbed Su Yueyao's hand and said with a choked voice.
"You are Yuqi's sister, which means you are my sister. Your brother is under house arrest in the teahouse now. How can I feel at ease if I don't come to see you?"
"I will find a way to rescue you and save the Pei family. First, tell me, have you replaced the tribute items? Are you sure that the tea leaves, cloths and utensils delivered to the palace are intact?"
"I prepared the tribute goods according to my brother's requirements in previous years. My brother had told me not to be careless. I arranged for someone to check it in advance. On the day of acceptance, I personally checked it again to confirm that there were no problems."
