Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 105

Qin Shaoze's affection for Yao Sujuan quickly became more and more obvious, almost as much as his affection for Liu Manman.

Yao Sujuan felt that this was the happiest day of her life.

This is a dream she has waited so many years to realize, and no one can take this favor away from her!

Never!

......

At the gate of the Ministry of Justice Prison.

Liu Manman walked out unsteadily. It was the first time in many days that she had seen the sunlight outside. She was so blinded by the sunlight that she felt dizzy and stumbled.

Her maid, Bai Zhi, was waiting outside. When she saw Liu Manman come out, she quickly went forward to help her up.

Bai Zhi's nose tingled with emotion: "Madam! You've finally come out!"

When Liu Manman stepped out of the prison gate, she was trembling all over, and tears were streaming down her face.

She finally got out of that awful place!

Although she only stayed inside for less than a month, it felt like centuries to her!

The prison was cold, filthy, and gloomy. People ate, drank, and relieved themselves in a single cell. There was a stench of rotting excrement and urine. Large rats scurried around day and night, crawling on people and even biting them.

Moreover, she hadn't washed her hair or taken a shower for over twenty days; she was filthy and smelly, and she was going crazy!

In fact, as the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, Liu Manman had connections and hadn't committed a serious crime, so her treatment in prison was already much better than that of ordinary people. She had a private room, bedding, and her daily meals were decent.

But for Liu Manman, who was used to a comfortable life, it was still like hellish torment.

That bastard Qin Shaoze didn't visit her even once during this time. She desperately sent messages to ask to see him, but he just vanished into thin air, offering no response whatsoever! He didn't even try to rescue her!

It was her own idea that led her to have Bai Zhi inquire everywhere about any connections she could use, eventually reaching the Marquis of Changguo's household. The Marquis of Changguo's household had previously asked her for medicine during a plague outbreak, so they owed her a favor. The Marquis of Changguo's heir was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, which is how they managed to get her released from prison early, saving her from serving the full six months.

Look, there were clearly connections that could have gotten her out, but Qin Shaoze didn't even try to help her. In the end, she had to get out on her own!

Liu Manman gritted her teeth in anger at the thought!

Does Qin Shaoze not want to be with her anymore? Treating her like this, does he even intend to be her husband?

When Liu Manman looked outside, she didn't see Qin Shaoze, which made her even angrier.

She was released from prison early, such a significant event, yet Qin Shaoze didn't come to pick her up.

Liu Manman immediately asked Bai Zhi angrily, "Didn't I tell you that I would tell the Marquis as soon as my release date was confirmed? Did you fail to deliver the message?"

Bai Zhi shrank back in fright and replied, "This servant went to look for the Marquis yesterday, but he... he wasn't at the Marquis's residence, nor at the martial arts training ground, so..."

Seeing Bai Zhi stammering, as if she had something to say but dared not speak, Liu Manman sensed something was wrong and frowned, asking, "What's going on? Just tell me clearly if you have something to say!"

Bai Zhi had been too afraid to speak up before, but now that Liu Manman had been released from prison, it was clear that she couldn't keep it a secret any longer.

She steeled herself and said directly, "The Marquis has recently taken that Miss Yao as his concubine, and he has been accompanying Concubine Yao to the Cibei Temple in the suburbs of the capital to offer incense these past two days!"
