Shen Wanwan blinked. Did the King of Pingnan specifically order that no one was allowed to visit Pei Bailiang?

She stepped forward, stretched out her hand to Chuntao, took all six silver ingots from her hand, and then stuffed them all into the guard's hands.

"I am Shen Wanwan, the third daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you answer a few questions honestly, all these silver ingots will be yours. How do you do that?"

When the guard returned the silver ingot to Chuntao, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

That wasn't small change, it was a real silver ingot. He had been working here for so long, and he didn't know if it was bad luck or for some other reason, but he had never seen anything done with a whole silver ingot.

He finally met the one, but before he could even warm his hands, it was about to fly away. How could he be willing to accept this?

"Is this true?"

The light in the guard's eyes that had just dimmed suddenly brightened. This was great. He could get six ingots of silver just by answering a few questions. It was much more cost-effective than letting people in.

You have to know that if you let people in privately, you will not only take the risk of being discovered and punished by the superiors, but also the money you earn will have to be shared equally with the brothers inside, so you won't actually get much.

Now, just by answering a few questions, all the money can be yours without having to put anyone in to take the risk. What a great deal!

"Miss Shen, if you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

"After Pei Bailiang was imprisoned, did he receive any special care?"

The guard thought carefully before answering, "Not at the beginning, but only recently."

He was tortured by order of King Pingnan himself, and a doctor was specially hired to keep him alive. This can be considered as special care.

Shen Wanwan narrowed her eyes, "When did it start?"

"That was six or seven days ago, on the night when Prince Pingnan returned from outside the city. I remember it was already very late that day. He suddenly came over alone and had someone prepare a whip soaked in chili salt water."

The guard glanced around, making sure no one was around before whispering, "I didn't see it myself, but the brothers inside said he nearly died that night. Prince Pingnan sent for a doctor and even sent someone from Prince Pingnan's palace to boil ginseng to keep him alive."

Shen Wanwan blinked. The King of Pingnan was trying to make Pei Zhazha's life a living hell. He was indeed a ruthless person who had been to the battlefield!

"Did the Prince of Pingnan come here last night?"

She felt that no matter whether Prince Pingnan did it or not, he would have some thoughts after hearing what she said at Xie Mansion yesterday.

If I guess correctly, after he leaves Xie's house, he will definitely find time to go to the prison to humiliate Pei Bailiang.

"To be honest, Prince Pingnan did come last night, but he didn't stay long, and his expression was different before and after."

"Oh? How is it different?"

The guard glanced around once more before lowering his voice again. "He came in furious, looking as if he wanted to eat someone alive, but when he left, he was beaming with joy, with an unstoppable smile on his lips. If you didn't know better, you'd think he'd become a father again."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanwan almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Wasn't he going to be a father again?

My guess is right!

Not only is Guangguang the child of Prince Pingnan, but Wanwan is also his daughter. So it can be said that Pei Bailiang really sold his wife for fame and fortune back then.

I have to say, Pei Bailiang is a real dog, he is indeed the best of scum!

I don't know whether I should feel sad for my aunt or happy for her about this.

Shen Wanwan got the answer she wanted, so there was no need for her to go to jail again. She took Bi Yue and got back on the carriage and left the Dali Temple.
