After hearing Hua Zhixia's words, Song Nan twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.

She really couldn't figure it out, since Hua Zhixia knew the Jiang family so thoroughly, why did she resolutely marry into the Jiang family after the accident between Jiang Chu and his son?

Is it possible that she likes Jiang Chu so much?

But looking at Jiang Chu's change of heart, she didn't feel too sad.

It was as if Jiang Chu was just a dispensable object to her.

"You must be thinking, why would I join the Jiang family if I know all this?" Hua Zhixia said with a chuckle.

Song Nan nodded: "Since you know that the Jiang family is not a good place to go, then why did you..."

"Of course it's because of other reasons, but this matter is a grudge between our Hua family and the Jiang family for generations. I'm afraid I can't tell you in detail. You just need to know that the Jiang family has what I need."

Seeing Hua Zhixia being so calm, Song Nan didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.

She looked at the wooden boards and the worn quilt in the cell, thinking that no wonder her uncle just said that Hua Zhixia was a tolerant person.

According to the situation in this cell, if I were Hua Zhixia, I might have chosen to go south to dry salt...

If a person stays in such an environment for more than half a year, he will go crazy sooner or later.

"You don't have to show such an expression. This cell is just a decoration." Hua Zhixia said softly.

She walked to the stone wall opposite the door of the cell and gently pressed down a brick. The stone wall in front of her suddenly revealed a passage the same size as the door.

Before Song Nan could be confused, Hua Zhixia walked into the dark passage.

Song Nan hesitated again and again and walked in.

Hua Zhixia walked in front and said: "This cell has its own secrets. After I told the county magistrate about my plan, he sent someone to lock me in this cell. Although it is not as good as my own home, it is still good. It has a bed and a table, which is pretty good compared to the cell outside."

"I have been staying in the Jiang family for four years, so what if I stay here for a few months? Magistrate Li and Zhang Ruoxi will bring me the things I need. This place can also make me quiet and peaceful."

Walking through the approximately five-meter-long passage, Song Nan saw the flickering candlelight in front of him.

The airtight room here is indeed much better than outside.

There are two thick quilts on the bed in the room. There are a few books and the four treasures of the study on the wooden table next to it. There is even a wardrobe in there!

There is a sink on the other side of the wall. A small bamboo pipe is connected to the sink. The mouth of the bamboo pipe is blocked by a small piece of wood. However, the small piece of wood cannot completely block the water. From time to time, a drop of water drips into the sink.

"Is this connected to the outside?" Song Nan was surprised.

Hua Zhixia nodded: "Of course, in winter, warm water will flow out of the bamboo tube... There is a small cubicle next to it that is a latrine. This can be regarded as Langfang's Tianzi No. [-] room."

"This is indeed Tianzi Room No. [-]."

Song Nan had nothing to say. If the people in the cell knew about this condition, wouldn't they break their heads?

"Is this why there are no other prisoners in the two cells next to you and opposite you?"

"Yes, not everyone can live in this cell. I only found out yesterday that there is such a place in the cell." Hua Zhixia unplugged the cork of the small bamboo tube and washed her hands, "But I only live in this place. It’s not free, you have to pay five taels of silver a month.”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Wan Qingsi to take care of your business in the past few months. I don't know what new tricks Boss Song will come up with when I come out."

Hearing her words, Song Nan shook his head and smiled: "Even if I give you two bottles of shampoo, you won't be able to use it here."

She lives in a cell, and there are many sets of prison uniforms in the closet. Even if she is sitting cleanly in the cell outside, the visitors will not think too much about her.

But if her hair is not only clean, but also smells like shampoo, then it's hard to explain.

Hua Zhixia must have known about the accident, and she just said that she couldn't take care of her business in the past few months.

"I know that the reason why Bai Zhizhou agreed to my request and Li's request so easily was because of your face."

Hua Zhixia continued: "And County Magistrate Li also mentioned that you and Song Ying brought up the matter yesterday. I will have to trouble you when the master comes in a few months... I don't know how to repay this kindness. .”

"Why do you want to help me?"

Song Nan shook his head and smiled: "Because you are an innocent person. And I don't want those two people from the Jiang family who ruined my business to go unpunished. Whoever did it should be punished."

Thinking of this, Song Nan was a little funny.

Then Bai Zhizhou and Jiang Chu pushed the matter onto Hua Zhixia and did not know how to bribe her as the victim.

"Then do you have any arrangements for your divorce and your family's dowry?"

Hua Zhixia nodded: "I have Magistrate Li looking after the divorce, and my parents are helping me with the dowry. When I come out of prison and clear my grievances, you and the magistrate's wife will be my saviors. What do you need?" I’m here to help, and I definitely won’t stand idly by.”

Savior?

Song Nan suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Why don't you pledge yourself to save your life?"

Hua Zhixia was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Even if you save your life, you can't repay it with a wedding."

"I didn't expect you to say this," Song Nan pointed out.

Because of the feud between the two families, Hua Zhixia married into the Jiang family, but now she says that her life-saving grace cannot be repaid with a marriage.

This is true, and it is not something she would say.

Hua Zhixia shook her head: "There are many ways to repay life-saving grace. But there are some grievances... If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs..."

Seeing that she was talking about grievances again, Song Nan quickly changed the subject: "I also remembered the things in those storybooks. After those people who were in distress were saved, if the person who saved them was close to each other, he would say that he had nothing to repay. Maybe, if it doesn’t suit my taste, I’ll say that I’ll be a cow or a horse in the next life.”

Hua Zhixia smiled and said: "Like Zhang Ruoxi, you like to read some story books."

The two chatted in the back room for a while and then went out.

After entering the cell, Song Nan left after the secret door was closed.

As soon as she left, the yamen servant immediately came over and closed the wooden door with an iron chain.

Originally, Song Nan planned to go directly to Ren'antang to see his uncle and aunt, but just after leaving the Lanyang County Prison, he was stopped by Zhang Qiang who ran over.

"Song! Miss Song!"

"Here comes the county office, someone is here!"

"So many people are here, so many people! The county magistrate knows them, and he even asked me to call you!"

Zhang Qiang spoke breathlessly, but Song Nan didn't know who he was talking about for a long time.

Arriving at the county government office, Song Nan looked at the person in front of him blankly.

Do I know them?
