Chapter 640: Chapter 645: World of Two_1
Tan Zhenghong leaned into Qiao Duo’er’s ear and whispered, "Finally, it’s just the two of us again."
The tone was endlessly suggestive, causing Qiao Duo’er’s ears to burn hot. However, if this guy dared to do anything inappropriate, she wouldn’t hesitate to take up scissors!
"I’m just saying, I’ll definitely only sleep tonight," Tan Zhenghong immediately conceded.
Qiao Duo’er tiptoed to rub Tan Zhenghong’s head: "Good boy, behave and there will be meat for you."
Tan Zhenghong’s eyes immediately sparkled with greed, meat?
"I feel like having plain boiled meat, any problem with that?" Qiao Duo’er said with an innocent face.
Fat Fat and Fatty came over wagging their tails, while Tan Zhenghong’s heart sank to the bottom, realizing it wasn’t what he had thought.
Howling, it had been several days since he last had meat!
"Shouldn’t you be taking your medicine?" Qiao Duo’er suddenly asked.
Tan Zhenghong nodded. Could there be a chance for a turnaround?
Without a change in expression, Qiao Duo’er said, "I’ll boil the medicine for you this time." 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Tan Zhenghong wanted to refuse but received a glaring eye roll, and he had no choice but to swallow his words.
Qiao Duo’er’s mind was working overtime. To prevent Tan Zhenghong from noticing anything amiss, she quickly slipped into the kitchen.
She needed to be careful with their diet in this period, or her plan to get pregnant with a bun in the spring would be ruined.
Left standing there, a bewildered Tan Zhenghong wondered what that all meant.
Was she letting him eat meat or not?
Seeing that Fat Fat and Fatty had already followed into the kitchen, he chased after them.
"Wife, whatever you want to do, just tell me!" Tan Zhenghong said eagerly.
"You can take care of the fire, warm up the room," she answered.
"Alright!"
...
In the afternoon, at the Government Office’s jail.
Li Mu’er was pacing anxiously.
"Miss, don’t worry, Young Master Bai will definitely forgive you," Cai Ping tried to console her young mistress.
Ever since Young Master Bai had himself locked up, her mistress had been visiting him every day.
But... she was turned away every single time.
Annoyed, Li Mu’er said, "Stop saying useless things, hurry up and think of something. I must get in today!"
Cai Ping shrank her neck, her mind racing.
Li Mu’er loved taking her anger out on others, and if they couldn’t grant her wishes, it was the servants who would suffer.
As her personal Maid, Cai Ping was held in high regard by Li Mu’er, but at the end of the day, she was still just a Maid. In Li Mu’er’s eyes, servants were even lower than animals, so she decided to be extra cautious.
"Miss Li, Young Master Bai still doesn’t want to see you, please leave," the Government Official said quietly, looking down.
He knew about the young lady’s temper; it was better to avoid provoking her.
"Get out of the way, let me in!" Li Mu’er demanded obstinately.
The Government Official helplessly explained, "But Young Master Bai said... if we let you in, it would be our dereliction of duty, and also mentioned that the accused isn’t allowed to see family before the trial."
This was basic knowledge, to prevent collusion.
"He hasn’t committed any crime, he’s not a criminal. Move aside now, or don’t blame me for being rude!"
Having said that, Li Mu’er, accompanied by Cai Ping, tried to barge into the prison. She was determined to see Bai Yifan today!
Otherwise, she would definitely go mad!
The Government Official stretched out his hand to block their way: "This is the jail, and there are rules here. Miss Li, please be reasonable."
"We are just servants; if something goes wrong, we might not even be able to keep our livelihoods."
Another Government Official joined in to persuade her. Currently, the jail was also holding members of the Yin Family, and they couldn’t afford to be negligent.
Angered, Li Mu’er glared at Cai Ping. What a useless creature, completely ineffective when needed most!
