Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

The prison warden was frightened by her aura and was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that the young woman in front of him, who was not afraid after entering the prison, suddenly attacked. Her aura was so frightening that he didn't know where she came from...

"Madam, you are wrongly accusing us of this. I am just following orders. Without orders from above, how dare I punish the criminals?"

Shen Nankui pointed at the female prisoner next to him and said, "So they were the ones who did it?"

The warden glared at the group of female prisoners with some annoyance and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

Only then did Shen Nankui understand why the prison warden said those words to him when he first entered the prison.

Miss Tao is bullied by this group of people every day and she doesn't know how to resist. She might be tortured to death by these people before the verdict comes down.

She suddenly became angry. "There are obviously empty cells, why can't Miss Tao be imprisoned alone?"

The warden sighed, "Those cells are for male prisoners."

The prisoners in this jail are all very violent and have always bullied the minority and the weak. Women are no exception. Even if he sympathizes with the mother and daughter of the Tao family and wants to help Miss Tao, he can't do anything about it since she can't stand up for herself and is bullied by others.

How could such a person kill someone?

Shen Nankui also figured out the crux of the problem. Since she couldn't be transferred to another prison, Miss Tao had to stand up for herself first. Otherwise, before she could find evidence within half a month, Miss Tao would have died unjustly in prison.

She grabbed Tao Ru's hand and said, "Miss Tao, listen to me. I'm here to save you. You still have half a month to overturn the case. Tell me, what happened?"

Tao Ru is such a cowardly person, how could she fight with others?

Tao Ru seemed to hear nothing. She just curled up in the corner, repeating that she did not kill anyone.

Looking at her unconscious state, Shen Nankui couldn't help but frown. If she said nothing, how could he get any useful clues?

Shen Nankui was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and clapped his hands, saying, "Great, Miss Tao is really filial."

Seeing her like this, everyone looked at her in confusion.

The warden asked, "Mrs. Gu, what do you mean by that?"

Shen Nankui just looked at Tao Ru and continued, "I learned that you were in trouble. I traveled thousands of miles to Yongzhou for you while pregnant. I finally met with Zhang Tongzhi and asked for a half-month reprieve for you. Faced with such a precious opportunity to overturn the verdict, you didn't know how to cherish it at all. Ha, that's fine, but have you ever thought about your mother?"

Tao Ru finally reacted when she heard this, and murmured, "My mother?"

"Your mother's health was not good to begin with. She has become a beggar because of you. It seems that she will not live long now."

Tears rolled down Tao Ru's face, "Mother..."

Shen Nankui looked at her coldly, "Don't worry, no matter how seriously ill your mother is, if she gets a good doctor to treat her, she can still live another three to five years. Unlike you, if you wait for the verdict, I'm afraid you won't survive this winter. That's why I say you are filial."

Tao Ru asked in astonishment: "Boss, what do you mean by this?"

"What I mean is that you clearly had a chance to live, but you didn't know how to seize it, and you insisted on giving someone else's life in vain, causing your mother to lose her young child. This may seem tragic to others, but I think your mother should be happy that she no longer has an unfilial daughter like you. After all, if I had a stupid and weak daughter like you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to rest in peace in my grave. It would be better if I didn't have one. If you really die, I'll be happy for your mother."

Shen Nankui's words were so harsh that everyone in the prison was stunned. There were even a few female prisoners who laughed quietly at the side. However, they fell silent after a look from the warden.

Tao Ru was also a little bit unbelievable. She looked at her for a long while before saying, "The boss has traveled thousands of miles for me. Tao Ru is very grateful. Now that you are saying some angry words, I won't take it to heart."

Shen Nankui sneered, "You also know that it was just an angry remark."

Tao Ru remained silent.

Shen Nankui said: "But your mother has indeed become a beggar. If you don't believe me, ask the prison warden. You can die with a murder case, but after you die, do you want your mother to accompany you?"

Tao Ru burst into tears, "I am unfilial..."

"You are indeed unfilial. If you ask me, Aunt Tao is really pitiful. She raised her daughter with great difficulty, but she didn't enjoy the happiness for a few days, and suffered a lot of sins."

Listening to the accusations, Tao Ru finally couldn't hold it anymore and cried, "What can I do? Everyone says that I killed someone. Everyone bullies me and despises me. What can I do? I said I didn't kill anyone, but did anyone believe me? Since the result is the same, why keep me here to suffer? It's better to just kill me with a knife..."

"I believe."

Shen Nankui squatted down again, looked directly into her eyes and said, "If you are really being wronged, you shouldn't give up the chance to survive."

Meeting her calm and determined eyes, Tao Ru's despair couldn't help but waver.

"……really?"

"How will you know if you don't give it a try?"

There was a glimmer of struggle in Tao Ru's eyes, and her eyes involuntarily glanced at the group of female prisoners beside her.

Seeing her trembling, Shen Nankui reached out and held her hand.

"Don't pay attention to them. They slander your appearance, but they don't know that the rouge you made has brought joy to countless women. They despise you as a murderer, but when the case is overturned, you are still innocent, but they can only be imprisoned in this dark prison as a guilty person. If you have done nothing wrong, you are no worse than any of them. Why should you be afraid of these people?"

"You should know that your tolerance is not kindness, but weakness and will only lead to further bullying from others."

No one had ever said such words to her, and Tao Ru's tears fell uncontrollably again.

After a while, she looked at the group of female prisoners beside her, and hatred suddenly rose in her eyes.

"I haven't offended any of you. Just because I'm ugly, just because I was framed as a murderer, you beat and scolded me, humiliated me, and even... I obviously didn't do anything wrong. Why do you treat me like this?"

The hatred in her eyes swept over everyone.

When the female prisoners met her gaze, they lowered their heads involuntarily.
