She slowly opened her eyes and subconsciously reached for her abdomen.

A burning pain shot through her as soon as she touched it.

The hundred or so needle marks made her tremble!

Shige (Senior Brother) had actually, actually, let someone do this to her!

For a moment, Gao Minyue felt hurt, resentful, but even more, she felt guilty.

As she was lost in thought, Xie Jin Yan and the others entered from outside.

Among them, the old doctor from before held a bowl of clear water, and the jailer followed behind him, carrying a hundred silver needles.

Xie Jin Yan and Yu Qing Wu walked behind, both with faint, even certain expressions.

Especially Yu Qing Wu's expression, which seemed extremely sure, without a trace of doubt.

She believed Shige (Senior Brother) so much!

How devoted Shige (Senior Brother) must be to her for her to have such confidence.

Gao Minyue lay on the ground, her eyes filled with resentment, and she stared at Xie Jin Yan, who was getting closer and closer, gnashing her teeth.

Seeing him walk to the outside of the prison cell, she smiled despairingly.

Things had come to this, even if she wanted to deny it, no one would believe her.

Rather than humiliating herself, she might as well admit it.

"There's no need to test!"

"That's right, the child in my belly has nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince of Wei!"

"But if I didn't say that, would you have come to see me? Would you have come to save me?"

Her eyes were red, and she staggered up from the ground.

Her scarred face was filled with unwillingness and resentment. She glared fiercely at Yu Qing Wu and said, gnashing her teeth, "It's all because of you, it's all because you, this bitch, that Shige (Senior Brother) and I have become like this! It's all because you ruined my purity that Shige (Senior Brother) disdains me!"

"It's all because of you, it's all because of you that I married that Southern Yue person! It's all because of you!"

Gao Minyue screamed, then suddenly burst into laughter. As she laughed, she cried again.

She cried with desolation, with despair.

The shrill voice, like a female ghost, echoed hollowly and sadly in the prison cell.

Seeing this sudden scene, everyone was stunned.

Yu Qing Wu raised her head, looked deeply at Xie Jin Yan, and asked him, "Still testing?"

"No need. Everyone, go out. I'll talk to her alone for a bit."

After all, Xie Jin Yan had always regarded Gao Minyue as a younger sister. Seeing her suddenly like this, his mood was somewhat complicated, but he also knew very well that if a crowd of people were here, nothing could be asked.

Therefore, he waved his hand and instructed everyone to leave.

Yu Qing Wu gently patted his shoulder and followed him out of the prison.

Walking out of the dark and damp prison cell, the light outside suddenly entered her eyes.

Yu Qing Wu turned her head and glanced at the dark depths. She went with Song Guan to rest in the backyard of the Qing Zhou Prefecture.

Although the Qing Zhou Prefecture had a governor, the Song family was still the most powerful in the Qing Zhou territory. Moreover, although the Qing Zhou governor was a governor, he was just a transient official, and his words did not carry much weight here. In addition, most of the credit for capturing so many spies this time belonged to the Song family, so the governor did not interfere much, only reported to the imperial court according to regulations, and the rest was handled entirely by the Song family.

This backyard was also accessible to Song Guan.

The two found two chairs and sat casually in the yard.

Looking at the clear blue sky, Yu Qing Wu was somewhat lost in thought. For some reason, remembering Gao Minyue's appearance just now, her mood suddenly became heavy.

She had always disliked Gao Minyue, but at first, she only regarded her as a willful and headstrong young girl. She never thought that she would gradually come to this point today.

Truly, things were unpredictable.

"Lady Yu, do you... trust Xie Langjun (Young Master Xie) that much?"

She raised her head, and in a daze, she heard Song Guan's voice.

Hearing this, Yu Qing Wu was slightly stunned, turned to look at him, and smiled, "Why does Song Gongzi (Young Master Song) say that?"

"It's nothing. It's just that I saw that Xie Langjun (Young Master Xie) and that Southern Yue Princess have a very unusual relationship."

Song Guan smiled, using a joking tone, "Moreover, that Southern Yue Princess previously tried to kill you several times. Now it seems that Xie Langjun (Young Master Xie) still wants to save her life. Does Lady Yu really not mind at all?"

Not mind?

Of course, she minded.

But what was the use of minding?

For Xie Jin Yan, Gao Minyue was ultimately an important existence.

Whether it was the kindness he owed to Gao Minyue's father, or the brother-sister affection.

After all, when Gao Minyue's treason was discovered, Xie Jin Yan only drove her away, and after driving her away, he gave her money and shops.

If Gao Minyue had honestly returned to her hometown, she would still have lived a good life, and she would not have ended up in this state of being a prisoner.

She didn't know what Xie Jin Yan planned to do with her this time.

Thinking of this, Yu Qing Wu couldn't help but frown, chuckled lightly, and did not answer Song Guan.

Seeing that she did not speak, Song Guan also realized that he seemed to have said too much. He coughed lightly and picked up the tea, pretending to taste it.

On the other side, in the dim prison, the surroundings were empty.

Xie Jin Yan stood expressionlessly outside the prison cell, with his hands behind his back, quietly watching Gao Minyue, who was crying and laughing.

Seeing that she had cried enough, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "A Yue, tell me honestly, who taught you to say these words? Explain it clearly, and I will spare your life for your father's sake. At that time, you can still take your child back to the small fishing village. I have some shops and properties there. It will be enough for you to live a wealthy life."

Spare her life and live a wealthy life?

So, Shige (Senior Brother) still cared about her?

Hearing Xie Jin Yan's words, Gao Minyue's dim eyes suddenly lit up, and she answered irrelevantly, "So Shige (Senior Brother), you still care about me, don't you? Just now, it was just because those people were there that you couldn't help me, wasn't it?"

"A Yue, I have said it many times. I have always only regarded you as a younger sister."

Xie Jin Yan sighed, looked at her deeply, and said again, "I have told you many times, in my eyes, you will always be family. And A Wu, she is my wife. Even if it's not her, it will never be you, do you understand?"

Not her, and not be herself?

Hehe, Shige (Senior Brother) must be lying to herself. He was just trying to justify that bitch!

Thinking of Shige (Senior Brother)'s protection of her in the past, and thinking about when Shige (Senior Brother) began to favor that bitch? It was... after that bitch arrived at the Crown Prince's residence, Shige (Senior Brother) was bewitched by her beauty.

Gao Minyue bit her lip and did not speak, only looked at Xie Jin Yan with tears in her eyes and unwillingness in her heart.

After a moment, she suddenly thought of something and asked him, "Shige (Senior Brother), since you say I am your family, then I ask you, is this family member, me, important, or is Yu Qing Wu important? If she and I are in danger at the same time, who would you save first?"
