Chapter 4204 News From Prison

Li Zhongci looked at Jin Lu's frightened look, sat up straight, and said, "So, don't think about getting your mother out, and don't feel how wronged she is. This is already the lightest punishment for her. . You have to be lucky that the Queen Mother is not in Kyoto. If she were here..."

After a pause, he shook his head: "No, if the Queen Mother was in Kyoto, it would be impossible to pull off these little tricks of yours. The Queen Mother would notice it immediately and tear you apart. Maybe all the ashes would be scattered. .”

"Brother Zhong Ci, please stop talking!" Jin Lu stood up suddenly, her lips trembling a little, "The Queen Mother...when will she come back?"

"Probably no one knows except the Queen Mother herself."

Li Zhongci glanced at her, "Maybe one year, two years..."

Before Jin Lu could relax, he added, "Maybe she will come back suddenly tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. After all, she is the Queen Mother, no one can guess."

Jin Lu was originally a boudoir girl with little knowledge and courage. After hearing Li Zhongci's analysis, she was already in tears with fear.

"Brother Zhongci, I will never make trouble again. My mother did something wrong on her own, and she deserves to be punished." Jin Lu held his hand, "Brother Zhongci, you must not go there again. The Ministry of Punishment is in jail."

Li Zhongci took out his hand and said calmly: "Why, don't you miss your mother anymore?"

"I miss you." Jin Lu bit her lip, "But I can't drag you down anymore, brother Zhong Ci. I will take good care of myself, and when I get better, I will go see her by myself."

Li Zhongci was noncommittal.

Jin Lu glanced at him quietly and said nonchalantly: "Brother Zhong Ci, you look a little tired. How about I help you change clothes and wash up?"

Although she has become his concubine, she has not officially lived together.

Unless necessary, Li Zhongci rarely set foot in her room.

After experiencing so many things, her child was gone, and her mother was taken away. She was miserable and fragile, and desperately needed the comfort of a generous and warm embrace.

She wanted to stay.

She was still recuperating, and although she couldn't do much, she was content with just a hug and a few warm words of comfort.

However, Li Zhongci was very cold.

He said: "You are not in good health. Go back and have a good rest. Don't think too much."

These words were like a basin of cold water poured into Jin Lu's heart.

Her eyes dimmed and she whispered, "Then I'll go back first. Brother Zhong Ci, you have a good rest."

Li Zhongci didn't answer or look at her. He picked up a book and read it.

It's like a world of difference from the gentle and soft words before.

Jin Lu suppressed her sadness, held the maid's hand, and walked out slowly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Li Zhongci's servants running in hurriedly. When he saw Jinlu, he hurriedly closed his mouth.

Li Zhongci glanced at Jin Lu.

Jin Lu pursed her lips, lowered her head and walked out quickly.

The boy then came to Li Zhongci and said in a low voice: "Second Master, there was news from the Penal Department Prison just now that something happened."

"What?"

"My aunt... she hanged herself."

"What?" Li Zhongci looked up in shock, "What's going on? Weren't you fine before?"

When he went to visit the prison, Wang Yintan was still eating and drinking, yelling at him angrily, hoping that the Li family would rescue her as soon as possible.

Li Zhongci didn't believe that such Aunt Jin would commit suicide out of thought.

The boy said: "I don't know the specific situation very well, but I vaguely heard that an official was drunk, it seems, it seems..."
