Since he couldn't escape this prison, he would just stay in peace. Yang Junru sighed softly and touched the shackles on her hands and feet. She said apologetically to Ye Yulin,"I'm sorry to have dragged you down. But then again, why are you here?”
Ye Yulin was silent. Just when Yang Junru thought he wouldn't speak, he suddenly said,""I also want to meet Li Shiming."
Yang Junru looked at him in surprise.""Why? I thought you weren't interested in such things.”
Ye Yulin was expressionless.
"Forget it, this is your business." Yang Junru shook her head. Speaking of which, when would he be able to see Li Shiming? We didn't go back. Xiaoxiao and the others must be anxious outside.”
The two of them stopped talking. Yang Junru looked around. The environment of this cell was not as bad as what she saw on TV. The whole cell looked relatively clean. There was also a stone bed built against the wall, but there was nothing on the bed. Of course, it was better to have this bed than nothing.
Yang Junru was a little sleepy. She had been outside the whole day and hadn't had a good rest. Now, she just wanted to have a good sleep. But looking at the stone bed and then looking at Ye Yulin, Yang Junru was too embarrassed to lie down. Seeing Yang Junru's hesitant expression, Ye Yulin quietly took off his coat and laid it on the bed. Yang Junru blushed and hurriedly said,""You misunderstood. I was just thinking that if I slept on the bed, where would you sleep?”Yang Junru wasn't conservative, but the times were different. If she was more open-minded, she might be misunderstood as a casual person. This was obviously not what she wanted.
"I'll just lean against the corner." Ye Yulin shook his head.”He did not mention that he often stayed up all night. Yang Junru's heart warmed up and she said,""Alright, alright. Then I won't stand on ceremony." It would be hypocritical to refuse again. Yang Junru walked to the bedside and lay down. She said softly,"" Good night, Yulin!" Ye Yulin paused for a moment and replied,"Good night!"!”That night, Yang Junru slept unusually soundly.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. Yang Junru and Ye Yulin seemed to have been forgotten and no one cared about them. Other than someone who regularly brought them water, food, and took them out for a walk, no one cared about them. Ye Yulin was still relatively calm, but Yang Junru was anxious. She didn't have much time to stay here. He had thought that he would be able to fulfill his wish in four days at most, but it had been so long, and he was still in prison. There wasn't much time left! At first, she asked the person who delivered the food to tell her that she wanted to see Li Shimin again and again. Later, she only asked for someone to interrogate them, but the person who delivered the food only said one sentence: "I'm just a small figure. I won't be able to meet those high-ranking officials. I'll try my best to pass on your words to those who can meet the higher-ups.”
Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, the leader who had put Yang Junru and Ye Yulin in prison remembered them and asked someone to bring them to a secret room for interrogation. Seeing him, Yang Junru was very happy. She was finally willing to talk to them. The leader sat on a chair in the middle. The person beside him shouted,"Kneel down!" Yang Junru couldn't help but frown. She had never knelt before anyone before. Looking at Ye Yulin again, it was obvious that he was also very disgusted. The two of them stood still. The leader's subordinates were furious and wanted to use force. Yang Junru glared at him, and Ye Yulin assumed a fighting stance. However, due to the shackles on his body, he could not use force. The leader waved his hand magnanimously and said,"Forget it, if you don't want to kneel then so be it. However, you better tell me your purpose, or my subordinates won't be polite.”
Yang Junru frowned and said," We have no ill intentions. I'm not lying about this. I just want to see Young Master Li's elegant demeanor. In my hometown, almost everyone praises Young Master Li. I just want to see what kind of person Young Master Li is." As for my friend, he admires Young Master Li's reputation, so he came with me.”
The leader smiled coldly. Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
Yang Junru sighed." You've really misunderstood. We have no ill intentions." How about this, bring us to Young Master Li, then you will know that I am telling the truth.”
"You want to see Young Master Li so that your scheme will succeed?”The leader sneered again and said," Looks like we have to fight for real.”He suddenly raised his voice and shouted,"Men!! Take them to the side!"
Soon, Yang and Ye arrived at a room filled with torture instruments. Yang Junru's body was a little cold, but Ye Yulin was still as if nothing had happened. The leader who came in later instructed,"Take good care of them. That's right, that woman can't take a beating, so you'll deal with the man. As long as the woman's heart aches, she'll naturally tell the truth.”Yang Junru was shocked and quickly said,"Wait a minute." What I said just now was the truth. No matter how hard you beat us, we can't tell you anything more. Are you going to force a confession out of me just because of that illusory merit?”
The leader snorted and said,"You're quite good at talking." But don't worry, we are all Young Master Li's subordinates. He has repeatedly warned us not to be too suspicious, but recently it has been a troubled autumn, and those of us who are responsible for protecting him have to be extra careful, especially people like you who have unknown origins. "I've sent people to investigate these two days. You've never been to Jin Yang before, but you came here now. It's really suspicious.”
"I know the current situation is complicated, but you're judging us with bad intentions just because you didn't even let us see Young Master Li." Yang Junru said helplessly.”
The leader said," If you really have bad intentions, then I'll be inviting a wolf into the house by bringing you to Young Master Li. Your friend's martial arts are very strong. We won't take this risk." You'd better think about it again. If you tell the truth, you can avoid physical pain. No matter what, torturing people is not my intention.”
Yang Junru smiled bitterly." I have nothing to say. I've already said what I should say, but you refuse to believe me." However, I have a request. Can you not just hit him? I can help him share the burden."
Ye Yulin's expression changed. He seemed a little confused and a little happy.
The leader looked at her in surprise and said,""Aren't you afraid?"
Yang Junru smiled." Of course I'm afraid, but he was implicated by me. I can't just watch him suffer."”
The leader stared at her for a long time before he made up his mind and said,""How about this, you guys wait for another two days. I'll see when Young Master Li is free and let you meet him.”After thinking for a while, he added,"I can see your sincerity. I'm willing to believe you." Let me warn you first. When you meet Young Master Li, the entire hall will be arranged to protect Young Master Li. That is not a force you can fight against. Therefore, it is best not to act rashly. Otherwise, the outcome will be very miserable.”
Yang Junru was stunned. Was this enough? It seemed that Li Shi Min had a deep influence on his subordinates. "Aren't you taking a big risk?" she asked. Can you really do it?"
The leader smiled." I told you I was willing to believe you because I saw sincerity in your eyes.”
Yang Junru was a little dumbfounded. She came back to her senses and smiled."It's great that you're willing to believe me. Can you tell me your name?"
The leader nodded and said,"My name is Su Mo." What about the two of you?"
"My name is Yang Junru, and his name is Ye Yulin." Sorry to trouble you."
Su Mo said," No, no! Young Master Li often teaches us to do more for the people. Although we can't say that we're not enemies yet, I hope to prove your innocence as soon as possible. This way, Young Master Li's trust in us won't be in vain.”Su Mo then ordered his men to send them back to their cells. Yang Junru could only wait patiently.
That night, Yun Xiaoxiao wanted to tell Yang Junru about her experience during the day, but Yang Junru didn't come back, and Ye Yulin was nowhere to be seen. A night passed, but Yang Junru and Ye Yulin still hadn't returned. Yun Xiaoxiao and Yang Ruyan concluded that something had happened to them because Yang Junru had always been very responsible. She wouldn't stay out for a night for no reason.
After the initial panic disappeared, Yun Xiaoxiao, who had calmed down, began to think of countermeasures. She first got a basin of clear water and restored her original appearance. Then, she asked Yang Ruyan to call the shopkeeper in. No one knew what the two of them were talking about. Anyway, Yun Xiaoxiao felt much more relaxed after she came out. She was very confident that she could find Yang Junru and her husband. Although Yang Ruyan was puzzled, there was nothing he could do. He was not familiar with Jin Yang at all.
After talking to the shopkeeper, Yun Xiaoxiao was not willing to spend any more time disguising herself. When she appeared in her original appearance, everyone who saw her was stunned. She was too beautiful!! The fresh and gentle Yun Xiaoxiao became the focus of everyone's attention.
One could imagine Wang Chun's shock when he saw the real Yun Xiaoxiao. She was even more beautiful than the rumors described. Especially when Xiao Xiao saw Wang Chun, she blushed easily, which added a different kind of charm to her. At that time, Wang Chun even stuttered a little when he spoke. However, when he heard the news of Yang Junru's disappearance, he immediately came back to his senses and his expression instantly became anxious. Xiao Xiao felt a little sour in her heart, but she had to comfort him by saying that she already had a solution and that she believed that there would be news soon. Wang Chun calmed down and immediately declined, saying that he had something to do and had to leave first. However, Yun Xiaoxiao knew that he must be thinking of a way to find Yang Junru. The disappointed Yun Xiaoxiao returned to the inn and locked herself in her room. She didn't go out for the whole day.
On the third day, there was finally news. The shopkeeper told Yun Xiaoxiao that Yang Junru and Ye Yulin had been locked up in the Li Residence's prison. Yun Xiaoxiao was both surprised and happy. She was surprised that the two of them had offended Li Shiming, and she was happy that they had finally found their whereabouts. The shopkeeper also said that Yang and Ye were still safe for the time being. They were only caught as those who tried to plot against Li Shimin. He had already asked someone to find a way to save them. Yun Xiaoxiao was instantly relieved. Based on her impression of Li Shiming, as long as he could see Yang Junru, then Yang Junru and the others would be able to come out safely. She was still very confident in the shopkeeper's ability.
On the fifth day after Yang Junru and Ye Yulin were locked up in prison, Li Shimin finally agreed to meet them. On the way to the hall where Li Shiming was going to meet them, Yang Junru was a little excited and expectant, but also a little nervous. Ye Yulin saw her complicated expression, but he didn't say anything. Just like that, they finally arrived at their destination under the escort of ten people. From the moment she stepped into the hall, Yang Junru saw the person she had always wanted to see. He was calm and noble, not particularly handsome but very charming. His eyes carried the confidence and sharpness of a young man. It could be said that all of this was in line with the image of Li Shimin in Yang Junru's mind. Yang Junru and Ye Yulin walked forward and bowed to Li Shimin in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. They then quietly waited for Li Shimin to speak.
"I heard that you were detained in my mansion because you wanted to see me," Li Shi Min said with a smile."This is all because my subordinates were too reckless. I apologize to the two of you on their behalf."”Li Shiming observed the two of them carefully while they were talking, and he came to a conclusion that they were not the kind of people who would do one thing in front of others and do another behind their backs. He did not have to worry about them harming him.
"You're too polite," Yang Junru said with a smile. Your subordinates didn't make things difficult for us. Instead, they took care of us in every way. If it wasn't for Mister Su Mo, we probably wouldn't have gotten our wish so quickly.”
"Your generosity is truly admirable," Li Shi Min said. I'm busy with work and can't hold a banquet to calm you down, but there are many guards in the residence, so Su Mo and the others are quite free. Why don't you set a time for them to properly apologize to you?”
Yang Junru turned to look at Ye Yulin and said,""I wouldn't dare. Mister Su Mo didn't do anything wrong, this is his duty. Speaking of which, we have caused trouble for your family, so we should be the ones thanking Mister Su Mo and the others.”
Su Mo hurriedly said that he did not dare. "Tomorrow at noon, we'll have a banquet at Meixiang Restaurant. Please do me the honor." Ye Yulin suddenly said.”
It seemed a little funny for the taciturn Ye Yulin to say this without any expression, but his tone was so firm that it could not be rejected. Su Mo knew that it would not be good to decline, so he agreed. Seeing that everyone had resolved their differences, Li Shimin laughed and left for work. Yang Junru and Ye Yulin also returned to the inn safely.
No one had expected this outcome. Yang Junru secretly rejoiced that she had met a kind person. If she had met someone who was extremely scheming and suspicious, the two of them would not have come out so unscathed.
The next thing to do was to prepare for the banquet tomorrow afternoon. There was one thing that Yang Junru couldn't understand. Ever since she and Ye Yulin returned, she realized that the shopkeeper was unusually respectful to Xiaoxiao. Moreover, according to Yang Ruyan's description, Xiaoxiao trusted the shopkeeper very much. Why?
Although Yun Xiaoxiao was happy to see Yang Junru and Ye Yulin return safely, she couldn't keep her spirits up at the thought of Wang Chun. Yang Junru already knew what happened that day, but she couldn't do anything for her. She only hoped that tomorrow's banquet would make her a little more energetic. Obviously, Yun Xiaoxiao was not in the mood to disguise herself.
However, this face that even gods would be jealous of had caused a disaster. Yang Junru and her group had to postpone their trip.
