When Song Ning and Zhou Ru went to the county jail, they deliberately brought one of Mei's maids with them, thinking that Mei was arrested suddenly and perhaps there were some things she needed to explain to her family.

When they arrived at the county jail, they signed up and were let in smoothly.

It was the same bailiff who was guarding the cell yesterday who led them inside, without any intention of making things difficult for them.

Song Ning was considered an experienced person when it came to being in the county jail. Moreover, she had good psychological quality and could handle such situations with ease.

Zhou Ru was different. It was her first time in such a dirty and dark place. She was a little scared and held Song Ning's arm all the way.

Several people followed the bailiff to Mei's cell. Seeing that she was staying well inside, they finally felt relieved.

As soon as Xiaolan saw the people in the cell, she ran forward sobbing without waiting for the guards to remind her, grabbed the wooden bars and shouted inside: "Miss, Miss, wuwuwu..."

Zhou Ru also shouted to the people inside: "Sister Mei, are you okay?"

Mei was originally sitting with her back to the cell door, thinking about something. When she heard the familiar voice, she turned around abruptly, quickly stood up and walked over there, looking at them across the wooden bars.

"Xiaolan, Sister Song, Sister Ru, you are here."

Even though Shopkeeper Zhou had told her yesterday that he would let Zhou Ru and the others come to see her, she couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw them now, and she stretched out her hands to shake their hands tightly.

Song Ning stood at the back and looked at her carefully. Seeing that Mei seemed to be really fine, he felt relieved for the time being.

The guard quickly opened the cell door and let them in. "Please come in! You can only stay here for two quarters of an hour. If you have anything to say, please say it as soon as possible!"

"Thank you very much." Song Ning nodded to the bailiff and thanked him before entering the cell.

As soon as Xiaolan entered the room, she threw herself into Mei's arms and cried loudly, "Wow, Miss..."

Mei patted the little girl's back helplessly and comforted her, "Alright, alright, don't cry, your young lady is not dead yet!"

Hearing these unlucky words, Xiaolan quickly withdrew from Mei's arms and pouted several times, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, Miss, you will not die! Don't say such unlucky words."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, okay?" Mei agreed with her.

Seeing that the master and servant had calmed down, Song Ning reminded them, "Sister Mei, eat something first!"

Xiang Huan had already opened the food box, took out the food and laid it out, "Madam Mei, please eat it while it's hot! These are all made by Madam Hang herself."

Song Ning continued, "Time is tight, so I'll just prepare some simple noodles and side dishes. Sister Mei, you can just eat a little."

Mei shook her hand gratefully and said with a smile, "Well! That's good. It looks delicious."

She didn't hesitate and picked up her chopsticks and started eating in front of several people.

Song Ning made noodles with soybean paste, some side dishes, and a bowl of ginseng soup, which was still warm.

Mei took a bite of the noodles with soybean paste and praised them highly, "Mm! It's delicious. You are worthy of me, Sister Song. Sister Ru has long said that any food can become delicious after passing through your hands."

Song Ning smiled when she heard that. Seeing that she could talk and laugh, she could now completely put her mind at ease.

"If you like it, I'll make it for you after you get out of here."

"I'll take note of what you said, and don't regret it when the time comes."

"How can it be!"

The guards outside the corridor could smell the fragrance coming from the prison cell from a distance, and they were muttering in their hearts, how could they come to jail? They were clearly here to have some free time.

In the cell, while a few people were chatting and laughing, Mei finished a bowl of noodles, drank a few sips of soup, and then she couldn't eat anymore.

"Miss, won't you drink a few more sips of soup?" Xiaolan felt sorry for her master. After just one day of not seeing her, she felt that her mistress seemed to have lost weight.

Mei shook her head, indicating that she was full and asked her to clean up.

While Xiaolan and Xianghuan were clearing the table, Zhou Ru said to Mei, "Sister Mei, don't worry! My brother-in-law has gone to the government office as a lawyer and has taken over your case. He will be able to find out the truth in less than two days, and you can go out."

Mei said to Song Ning, "Sister Song, thank you." She knew that Hang Shuheng was willing to help only because of Song Ning.

"There's no need to be so formal between us sisters. I'm telling you this so that you can relax here and stop thinking too much. We're here to help you out!"

After Xiaolan had packed her things, she had time to tell Mrs. Mei about the incident yesterday when Mr. and Mrs. Mei came to their house to make trouble. She was in Shangtang Village at the time and only found out about it after returning to the county town. Xiaohe, who had been staying at the house, hugged her and cried for a long time.

At the end, she mentioned that Shopkeeper Zhou had been to the house last night. "Shopkeeper Zhou came to our house last night and asked us about some things before leaving. He told us not to worry about you and that you were fine. He told us to stay at home and wait for you to come back."

However, how could she really feel at ease without seeing the young lady in person?

Mei was a little surprised. Could it be that Zhou Huan came out of the prison last night and went to the house?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Zhou Ru say, "No wonder, my father came back home very late last night and didn't even have dinner!"

When Mei heard this, she remembered the porridge and side dishes they brought her yesterday. She was only concerned with eating herself and didn't even ask if they had eaten yet.

Thinking of this, her eyes flickered slightly, she felt a little guilty and a little embarrassed.

Song Ning listened to their conversation calmly, thinking that Zhou Huan had done this matter so personally, and she really didn't believe that his feelings for Mei were simple.

She looked around the cell and found it was superior to the one Hang Shuheng had lived in. She said casually, "I didn't expect there would be such a nice room in this prison. The cell Yangyang's father lived in was far worse than this."

Mei didn't think much about it and said bluntly: "Thanks to Manager Zhou's arrangement, otherwise the cell I lived in at the beginning would also be dirty and messy."

When Song Ning heard this, there was nothing she didn't understand. It turned out that this uncle not only personally inquired about the matter, but also went into the prison to help her solve her dilemma!
