The female jailer took out a key and opened the cell door.
"Girl, you can go now!"
After the female jailer opened the cell door, she spoke to Madam Mingzhu.
His tone conveyed concern.
Upon hearing this, Madam Mingzhu was secretly delighted.
"Is Han Feng going to let me out?"
"Is he playing hard to get with me?"
A question flashed through Madam Mingzhu's mind.
next moment.
She looked at the female jailer with a puzzled expression, feigning fear, and asked weakly, "I...I killed someone, I...can I really leave now?"
Madam Mingzhu did not want to leave the prison without knowing the truth.
She needs to find out exactly what happened.
"Girl, you can really leave now!"
The female jailer smiled and nodded firmly.
Then, he continued, "Young lady, the magistrate has investigated and found that you killed two people by mistake, which is not a capital offense. Moreover, the magistrate's investigation has revealed that the two people you killed by mistake were notorious bandits who have been wanted by the government for a long time."
"They are thieves who commit murder, arson, and all sorts of evil deeds."
"If it weren't for you, young lady, we would never have known that they were hiding in our Nanyang City, and that they were actually human traffickers."
“Young lady, by killing them, you are not only innocent, but you have actually done a good deed.”
"This is a reward from the adults, it's more than twenty taels of silver."
A hint of envy flashed in the female jailer's eyes.
He then took off the cloth bag hanging from his waist and handed it to Madam Mingzhu.
Madam Mingzhu was stunned upon hearing this.
He was momentarily stunned as the female jailer handed him the cloth bag.
"Is...is this real?"
Madam Mingzhu stared in disbelief at the female jailer before her.
The two henchmen she killed were indeed notorious bandits who committed murder and arson without hesitation.
But they aren't actually human traffickers.
They were just putting on a show for themselves.
Madam Mingzhu naturally wouldn't reveal these things.
The female jailer seemed to sense Madam Mingzhu's confusion and continued to explain, "Miss, a few days ago, the young master asked the magistrate to draft new laws, stipulating that all human traffickers should be sentenced to death."
“My lord has been at a loss for what to do these past few days, but now that he has encountered your matter, he has immediately come up with a solution.”
"He wants to use this matter to get the new laws promulgated."
"Young lady, you could say you've done us adults a great favor."
"Let me tell you, actually, out of these twenty-odd taels of silver, ten taels were given to you privately by our master."
After the female jailer finished speaking, she shut her mouth.
"So that's what it is!"
Lady Mingzhu murmured to herself, finally understanding what had happened.
Subsequently.
She looked at the female jailer and continued to feign fear, saying, "Twenty taels of silver is too much; I dare not take it. I... I will only take the silver that you officials gave me privately. You can keep the rest and use it to buy some things for your family."
After saying that, she took the cloth bag handed to her by the female jailer, took out ten taels of silver from it, and then returned the bag to the female jailer.
"Young lady, this...this..."
The female jailer looked at the cloth bag returned by Madam Mingzhu and hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to accept it or not.
That's more than ten taels of silver, enough for her family to eat for several months.
"Sister, it's inconvenient for a weak woman like me to carry so much silver."
"If I get targeted by bad guys again, I'll be in danger. I'm afraid I won't be as lucky as I was this time."
"Just take it!"
Lady Mingzhu looked frightened.
Seeing that Madam Mingzhu's expression seemed genuine, the female jailer thought about it and realized that Madam Mingzhu's words made sense.
So he nodded, put the cloth bag into his sleeve, and accepted the ten taels of silver given to him by Madam Mingzhu.
then.
They left the prison with Lady Mingzhu!

37. Han Feng: How did you end up here?
He's out of jail!
Bathed in sunlight.
Madam Mingzhu's depressed mood was instantly swept away.
"Finally out!"
Lady Mingzhu was very pleased.
"Han Feng didn't fall for the trap twice. What should I do next?"
Madam Mingzhu walked along, lost in thought.
She now has serious doubts about her plan to use her beauty to seduce Han Feng.
Also, I'm no longer as confident in my stunning good looks.
Such stunning beauty couldn't even seduce Han Feng.
Madam Mingzhu was deeply affected.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Han Feng could never possibly know that I am the Nightfall Tide Banshee."
"My acting skills are also fine, so why didn't Han Feng fall for it?"
"What exactly went wrong?"
"Is it that Han Feng really isn't a womanizer? Or is my charm insufficient?"
Lady Mingzhu thought and thought, but still couldn't figure it out.
And just then.
A commotion arose nearby.
Madam Mingzhu's thoughts were immediately disrupted.
She stopped and looked around, and found that a large number of people had gathered not far away.
It seems that the words "Marquis's Mansion" and "Heir Apparent" were mentioned.
Lady Mingzhu turned her beautiful eyes and walked over curiously.
When you get closer, listen.
She then understood what had happened.
It turned out that the Marquis's residence was recruiting servants and maids.
"Is Han Feng really hiring servants and maids now to serve Consort Hu and the others?"
"Could this be part of Han Feng's plan targeting me?"
Madam Mingzhu's eyes flickered, a hint of doubt in her mind.
This is such a coincidence.
She couldn't help but have her doubts.
After inquiring for a while, Madam Mingzhu learned what Han Feng had been doing these past few days.
Then she thought that if Han Feng wanted to deal with her, he could have easily taken action against her last night.
She simply didn't have the strength to deal with the four experts around Han Feng, so her defeat and death were inevitable.
Thinking of this, Madam Mingzhu's doubts and concerns gradually subsided.
