"Hmph, hypocrisy!" Bai Yun snorted coldly without appreciating it.

Su Ruanruan's eyelashes trembled and she lowered her head in grievance.

"To this day, you still don't repent. You have good intentions, but you speak without restraint and judge others by your own standards! I, your father, have really ruined you."

"Don't be angry, Lord Bai. I know Miss Bai is innocent, romantic, straightforward and cute. I won't take your unintentional words to heart." Su Ruanruan patted the back of Bai Bai's hand to comfort him.

"You are just too kind!" Bai Bai was a little distracted, with the warmth of his soft fingertips still on the back of his hand.

How nice it would be if I could marry such a well-behaved guy.

"Dad, you are really blinded by your own greed. What's so good about her? She is just pretending!"

"Last time in jail, she stepped on my hand. Why don't you believe it?"

"Shut up, Ruanruan is not that kind of person! Oh, you are too naughty, you don't act like a girl at all, it really gives me a headache."

Bai Bai rubbed his aching temple, looking very disappointed in himself.

Other people’s daughters are well-behaved and obedient, but the one in his family is a cause for constant worry.

"Anger is harmful to your health. Lady Bai, please take care of yourself. I have a way to help Miss Bai cultivate her body and mind and stop being impatient."

"What method?"

Bai Yun also pricked up her ears to listen, but she didn't expect Su Runrun to glance at her, then move a few steps closer to Bai Bai and whisper something in his ear.

Bai Bai seemed to be thinking about something and glanced at Bai Yun.

"Sir, someone is coming from above."

The voice of the bailiff outside the cell interrupted his thoughts.

He frowned, "The one above..."

Why are they looking for him at this time? Is it related to Captain Zhou?

Bai Bai looked at Su Ruanruan with gentle eyes, "I'll be back soon, you can have dinner quickly, and if you have any problems, just call the prison boss."

As he turned to leave, he said worriedly, "You naughty girl, you must not bully Ruanruan, otherwise don't blame Dad for being rude."

"Dad, I'm innocent..." Bai Yun cried out, but Bai Bai had already left.

Bai Yun put his hands on his hips and turned around in front of Su Ruanruan.

But Su Ruanruan was just busy eating the food in front of her and had no intention of paying attention to her.

"Hey, what did you say to my dad? I know you have bad intentions and are very evil."

Su Ruanruan was so angry that she almost laughed, "Am I really bad? If I were really bad, you wouldn't even be able to eat buns now."

"You won't even have the chance to be arrogant in front of me. You deserve to be spanked by your father."

Su Ruanruan continued, "I see that you like to wield weapons and sticks, but you definitely don't know how to do needlework, right?"

"What, needlework? Did you let my dad force me to learn embroidery?"

Su Ruanruan nodded, "This is fine."

She had wanted to embroider a purse for Mu Bai before, but embroidery was too difficult and the finished product was too ugly. She was embarrassed to take it out and threw it away.

For Bai Yun, sitting down quietly and doing needlework might be more painful than killing her.

Seeing Bai Yun's expression of despair, Su Ruanruan continued, "If it weren't for the fact that you helped Mu Bai, I would have instigated your father to give you a good beating."

"What, you know?" Bai Yun thought for a moment, "It's good that you know. All the grievances that Brother Mu Bai suffered in the academy were because of you. You're so annoying."

"Can you please let me have Brother Mu Bai? If Brother Mu Bai stays with you, they will definitely continue to bully him."

"If you feel wronged, then... at worst I can just reluctantly agree to let my father marry you."

Su Ruanruan, "..."

She didn't want to talk to Baiyun anymore.

Just as she reached out to take the chopsticks on the table, she accidentally knocked one of them off. Su Ruanruan lowered her head and reached her hand into the haystack, only to touch something soft.

My scalp suddenly felt numb and I jumped up.

"Rats, there are rats."

She was most afraid of mice, so she quickly hid behind Baiyun.

"Coward, what's there to be afraid of?"

She often saw them in the cell and would play with them when she was bored.

Seeing that Su Ruanruan was scared, she wanted to play a teasing on her again. She made strange noises with her mouth to attract the mouse over.

She held the mouse's tail with her finger and waved it in front of Su Ruanruan, blocking her wherever she ran.

"Ah..." Su Ruanruan ran away in fear.

I accidentally bumped into a solid wall of flesh.

Before he could see who it was, he was held in the other person's arms, and his cold eyes swept across Bai Yun's hand.

Bai Yun shrank his neck, picked up the mouse and sat down in the corner of the cell.

It was really strange. Her father was the county magistrate and Huo Yan was the head of the police. He should have listened to her.

But every time I saw him, I felt inexplicably scared and didn't dare to act rashly in front of him.

Was it because the scar on his face was too horrible? Or was it because of the murderous intent in him?

"You dare to kill people, but you are afraid of a mouse?"

The other party's voice was very soft, but it frightened Su Ruanruan.

When she looked up again, she met Huo Yan's inquiring eyes.

"I'm not, I didn't, you're talking nonsense!"

She quickly pushed him away and freed herself from his restraints.

"Do you feel guilty just because I said that casually?" Huo Yan narrowed his deep eyes slightly.

It seems like a survey and also like a test.

Su Ruanruan automatically distanced herself from him and smiled softly, "I don't understand what you are saying."

Although Bai Yun was a little scared of Huo Yan, he still bravely asked, "But my father wants to let me out?"

Huo Yan, "Your father does want to let someone out, but it's not you."

"Su Ruanruan, you can go now!"

Bai Yun, "?"

Just knowing that his father didn't love her, Bai Yun sat down angrily.

After locking her up for so long, is he still her biological father?

If it weren't for Su Ruanruan today, his father would not even take a step into the prison gate.

Bai Yun leaned against the wall, poking it with his fingers.

How did she become someone no one loves?

Su Ruanruan followed behind Huo Yan. She couldn't understand why she came out so quickly?

At least she would be locked up for a few days, and she was ready to spend the night on the haystack.

"Captain Huo, have you found out everything about me?"

Huo Yan said, "Why? Do you still want to stay in prison? If you don't want to leave, I can send you back."

Su Runrun looked at the bloody torture instruments beside her. A strong smell of blood hit her in the face, and she quickly looked away.

"Oh, Captain Huo is such a joke. I was originally a victim, bullied by Butcher Zhou and his mother for no reason. Although I used a knife, I was forced to do so. Since the government has released me, they must understand my suffering."

"I will definitely present a plaque to praise Lord Bai, the upright and great magistrate."

Huo Yan sent Su Ruanruan away from the county government office and went to the restaurant.

Wei Zheng had already ordered some wine and food for him. When he saw him coming, he smiled awkwardly, "It's just a matter of keeping her in jail for a few more days, but you asked me to find someone to release her early. Are you so reluctant to let her stay in jail?"

Huo Yan picked up the wine glass and drank the spicy wine.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Wei Zheng sneered, "Do you dare to say that you treat Su Ruanruan the same way?"

Huo Yan stroked the wine glass in his hand. Isn’t it different?
