Brother Mu Bai, I'm sorry, please wait a little longer. After today...

Su Ruanruan stretched out her hand from the gap in the fence and gently tugged at Mu Bai's sleeve, "Brother Mu Bai, please don't be angry, okay? I'm so scared when you're like this..."

Meeting her innocent eyes, Mu Bai's heart was broken. He sighed silently and his tone softened, "Ruanruan, I'm not blaming you, it's just..."

He glanced at Bai Yun, who was standing next to Ruanruan and staring at him intently, and swallowed back the words of over-concern that he had intended to say.

So he changed his words and said, "When I arrived, the entrance to the government office was quite noisy..."

"It's just that I don't know how Lord Bai will solve this matter, and I don't know when you can come out."

Bai Yun glanced at Su Ruanruan, then turned to Mu Bai and smiled, "Brother Mu Bai, just put your mind at ease. Although I don't know what happened, I know that my father will never be vague about Su Ruanruan's affairs. With him around, are you still afraid that Su Ruanruan will be wronged?"

Su Ruanruan, "..."

This statement is a bit ambiguous.

Thank you! Shut up!

Su Ruanruan looked over and saw that Mu Bai's face had indeed turned even paler. She held his hand.

"Brother Mu Bai, you don't have to worry about me. It's nothing serious. Besides, it was that woman who took the initiative to provoke me. Many people saw it."

"Besides, she used to be a woman in our village. If it weren't for the success of her youngest son, who became the son-in-law of another county magistrate, she wouldn't have been able to rise to prominence! She really thinks she is a nobody, and she's even an official's family member..."

"Don't worry, I will be able to go out in two days, you don't have to worry about me. Go back to the academy quickly, studying is important!"

Bai Yun also came up and said, "Brother Mu Bai, look at me, do you think I have lost weight again?"

But Mu Bai heard this and moved a little further away from her, but his eyes always stayed on Su Ruanruan. She snorted again, "You only have eyes for her, but she was kissing Huo Yan in the front at that time."

"She's so fickle, you don't even know what you like about her."

Su Ruanruan is ashamed, thank you again!

Su Ruanruan felt the hand holding hers tighten slightly.

"Brother Mu Bai, don't listen to her nonsense. She is trying to sow discord here."

Mu Bai forced a smile and said, "Ruanruan, I believe you."

Bai Yun couldn't stand their teasing looks, so he waved his hand and walked away, "If you don't believe me, forget it."

"Brother Mu Bai, please go back soon. The cell is very humid and you are not in good health. Don't come again. I will be able to go back in two days. You don't have to worry about me."

Seeing Mu Bai's eyes fall on her shoulder again, Su Ruanruan spoke first, "Don't worry, I have medicine on me."

Just at this moment, the bailiff came to urge him, and Mu Bai gave him a few more instructions before reluctantly leaving the cell.

After leaving the cell and seeing the blue sky, Mu Bai was a little dazed.

He felt even more powerless. She was clearly lying there, but he could do nothing, let alone bring her out.

Also, Bai Yun's words...

……

In Maoshan Village, Qin Bei was busy cutting wheat and his back was wet.

The villagers passing by shook their heads, thinking that the child was really stupid.

The surrounding wheat fields had long been bare, and only the Su family's wheat was about to rot in the fields.

I'm still counting on Su Ruanruan to come back to work.

Instead of her, Qin Bei, who volunteered to help, showed up. This kid is good at carpentry, but his brain is as dull as a log.

Qin Bei wiped his face with the towel on his shoulder and went back to work. It was only a matter of a few days, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Ruanruan has finally met a good man like Mu Xiucai, so she can't let the Su family continue to make trouble and affect their relationship.

On the other hand, the Su family was in chaos at the moment.

"I'm pregnant, so what's wrong with wanting to eat a chicken?" Mrs. Wen glared at Mrs. Zheng while caressing her belly which was not yet visible.

"Eat, eat, eat. What are you eating? When I was pregnant with Xiaoqiang and Fangfang, I didn't even have chicken soup, but I was still fine, right?" Zheng put her hands on her hips. "Humph, this hen of mine is for laying eggs and selling them for money. No one is allowed to touch it."

Zheng glared at Su Zheng who was standing next to Wen. He was obviously her man, but now he had a concubine. She was so embarrassed.

In the surrounding villages, no one had ever seen a farmer taking a concubine. How could she not hear the villagers laughing at her behind her back?

How long has it been since he came to her room? Even if he disliked her before, at least they slept in the same bed.

But now, he has to stay by this vixen's side every day.

She can't go back to her parents' home, and now she is neither here nor there.

Mrs. Wen shook Su Zheng's sleeves, "Husband..."

"It's just a chicken, why are you making a fuss? We have several chickens at home. One less is not a big deal. Don't act like a shrew." Su Zheng glared at Zheng, rolled up his sleeves and was about to catch the chicken.

Zheng was irritated by the word "shrew". Did she want to be a shrew? If she had a gentle personality, wouldn't she be bullied by the villagers like Su Ruanruan's mother?

She was already fat and heavy, and she pushed Su Zheng to the ground in one go, "You bastard, I gave birth to your children, and now you're disgusted with me?"

"Why didn't you let me eat your cock when I was pregnant? Now you're scolding me for a concubine who is not worthy of being on the stage?"

Su Zheng's butt hurt from the fall, and his brows were filled with anger. "You know that our family was poor back then, but now..."

"Su Zheng!" Mrs. Wang, who had been eavesdropping in the room, pushed the door open and interrupted Su Zheng.

If she didn't say anything, this stupid son would reveal all the family secrets.

"What are you arguing about? It's not a big deal." Mrs. Wang looked at Zheng with dissatisfaction, and then glanced at Wen's belly.

Wen immediately smiled and gently stroked her belly, "Mom, I know the hen needs to be kept to lay eggs, but I have been craving for it these past few days. Maybe the baby in my belly wants to eat it."

She added, "Big sister is right. The chickens lay eggs and sell them for money. I can just have a bowl of rice porridge later, and I won't be hungry."

Su Zheng got up from the ground and dusted himself off. "That won't do. You're pregnant with my son, how can I let you down?"

Wen interrupted him, "Husband, please stop talking."

"Alright, alright, it's just a chicken, just kill it. Nothing is more important than my grandson right now!"

If it weren't for the child in Wen's belly, she would have looked down on a fickle woman like Wen.

"Mom!" Zheng growled and slapped her thigh angrily, thinking that they were a family and she had become an outsider.

When Su Runrun was not around, all the housework, big and small, fell on her shoulders. She worked herself to death every day, but could not get a soothing word from Su Zheng, nor a smile from her mother-in-law.

She hated Su Ruanruan's mother for dying so early, otherwise her life would not be like this.

If I had known earlier, I would not have tortured her all those years. Now I would not be the one working like a slave.

Zheng felt that there was no hope in her life and she sat on the ground and burst into tears.

The people outside the door who were watching the fun looked at each other in surprise. This family was becoming more and more interesting.
