Chapter 474 Release from Prison
On the day when the Li family members were released from prison, Xia Ruwan was a little nervous and pulled Qin Huiyin to guard outside the Ministry of Justice prison.
"Why haven't you come out yet?" Xia Ruwan looked towards the prison.
"Don't be anxious. Since His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has already given the definite news, I believe the information is reliable." Qin Huiyin held Xia Ruwan's hand.
Xia Ruwan looked towards the prison and said, "I spent a lot of money to bribe him, but I couldn't get him into the Ministry of Justice prison. I don't even know what happened to him."
"You have to believe that spending money is better than not spending it. Even if you can't see him, the people inside will see that he has someone to rely on, so they will take him into consideration when doing anything."
Xia Ruwan nodded: "Yes, I think so too."
Shuhui looked towards the prison and said loudly, "I'm coming, I'm coming, Miss."
The officers brought out several people.
Those people were wearing prison uniforms, with unkempt hair and dirty faces, and looked extremely miserable.
However, among those embarrassed figures, there was always a man who, no matter how embarrassed he was, had an elegant posture. Even in such a situation, his waist did not bend.
Xia Ruwan ran over and stood in front of Li Congxiao, her eyes red: "You finally came out."
Li Congxiao forced an ugly smile, and before he could say anything, Xia Ruwan threw herself into his arms and hugged his neck tightly.
"Are you trying to scare me to death?" Xia Ruwan said in a crying voice, hugging him tightly.
Li Congxiao patted her back gently and said dryly, "I stink so much, yet you still hold me so tight. Those words you said before were really just to coax me."
"What did I say to comfort you?" When Xia Ruwan saw him come out, she felt relieved and wiped away her tears.
"You said before that it was just my appearance that attracted you, and that if I became less attractive one day, you would abandon me." Li Congxiao blinked. "But you haven't abandoned me yet. You even spent money to keep me. When I came out, you hugged me so tightly. Don't you think I stink?"
Xia Ruwan glared at him and pinched the soft flesh on his waist: "You have become smellier, not uglier. So what if you stink? You can look better after washing it."
An old voice came from the side: "It's not proper for a girl to hug a man in the street. My family hasn't said they want to marry you yet."
Li Congxiao frowned and looked at the old man sharply.
The old man's eyes widened. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? I've shown you so many ladies from wealthy families, including daughters from government offices, and you didn't know how to pick one. Now that our family is down and out, there's nothing left to choose from. But this merchant girl is so indecent, hugging and kissing you in the street. She really doesn't know how to behave."
"Oh, master, what are you talking about? Miss Xia is able to take care of things for us, which shows that she is a girl who values love and friendship. Our Congxiao is a lucky one." Li Congxiao's stepmother, Wang, who is also Li Jingyan's biological mother, looked at Xia Ruwan, her eyes rolling around, and she did not hide her calculations at all.
"Wan'er, we have just been released from prison and we stink. Let's find a place to rest first. I will come to see you after I have packed up." Li Congxiao said.
"I'm just here to take you to take a shower, change clothes, and then have a good rest. If you have anything to say, we can talk after you've rested."
"I've already arranged my entourage," Li Congxiao said, looking towards the carriage at the entrance of the alley. "Give me a few days, I'll come find you once I've made all the arrangements."
"Aren't you going with me?" Xia Ruwan understood.
"I have a place to stay, so you don't have to worry about me." Li Congxiao said, leaning close to Xia Ruwan's ear. "You're kindhearted that you don't mind them being disgusted, but I can't let them upset you. Trust me, I'll make arrangements."
"But……"
Li Congxiao touched Xia Ruwan's hair and smoothed it: "Be obedient."
Qin Huiyin waited for them to finish speaking, then pulled Xia Ruwan aside and said, "Let's go back first! Don't you still believe in Master Li's ability? He's so confident, everything must be within his calculations."
Li Congxiao bowed to Qin Huiyin and said, "Wan'er was able to take care of this for me. I believe it was Miss Qin who helped me. I would like to thank Miss Qin in advance and send her a thank-you gift another day."
"No need for a thank you gift. I'm doing this for Wan'er, not for you. You should first take care of your family. I'll take Wan'er back and wait for your news."
Xia Ruwan was pulled into the carriage by Qin Huiyin.
She opened the curtain and looked in Li Congxiao's direction worriedly.
"Coachman, let's go." Qin Huiyin shouted.
The carriage moved forward until Li Congxiao and the others were out of sight, and then Xia Ruwan lowered the curtain.
"Yinyin, why don't you let me take him back?"
"Are you in love?" Qin Huiyin said unhappily, "He explained it so clearly, don't you understand? He said he's made arrangements and has a place to stay. Since he has a place to stay, why are you so worried? You and Young Master Li are in love, so of course you're willing to worry about him, but none of the people in his family are easy to deal with. What are you bringing them back for? I think his follower is quite loyal. He got the news so quickly and came to pick him up. I'm afraid he's been keeping an eye on the Ministry of Justice."
"Hey..." Qin Huiyin shook her arm. "Your Master Li is as cunning as a fox. How could he not leave himself a way out? The Li family's assets have been confiscated, but they are the Li family's open assets. He has been fighting Li Jingyan for so many years, and he didn't leave himself a way out?"
"It's true that worrying leads to confusion," Xia Ruwan said. "I keep thinking about him going bankrupt, having no money, and being a pauper in the future. I'm also worried about how disappointed he will feel."
After Qin Huiyin's reminder, it was possible that it was just as she said. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so patient.
"All the tears I've shed these days have been in vain." Xia Ruwan was furious.
"Isn't that good? He's not a pauper, so you don't need to help him." Qin Huiyin said, "Just pity me. Several of my clothes have been soaked by someone's tears. Clothes are getting more and more expensive now. I wonder if the owner of a silk shop can give me a few pieces?"
"The owner of a certain silk shop lets you pick as much as you want. It's okay to go there every day. She can afford it." Xia Ruwan was in a better mood and could joke with her like before.
"That's right! The Sister Xia I know is bright and radiant, living under the sunshine every day. Lately, that sobbing, complaining woman has been possessed by something."
"You just keep talking tough! When the day comes that you have someone you love, if anything happens to him, I wonder if you will be so anxious that you will cry every day." Xia Ruwan said.
"I won't," Qin Huiyin said, "I will only think about how to solve the problem. I will never lose my mind and act like the sky is falling."
"Zhilan, Sujin, you are witnesses to what your young lady said. Remember how arrogant she is now." Xia Ruwan said, "I'm waiting for her to slap herself in the face."
