When they returned to the cell, the group of people looked at her and hesitated to speak. Only Ye Zhuoyu stepped forward and asked her: "How is it? The county magistrate didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

"No, not only did you not make things difficult for me, but now you have to listen to me." Ye Qingran raised her head and snorted.

As soon as she said this, everyone present was stunned for a moment. Ye Qinglian couldn't help but said: "Now that we are trapped here, there are still people poisoning us. We may die without knowing when. It's better not to make such jokes."

Ye Qingran ignored her, just sat down and ate some cooked potatoes to cushion his stomach. Then within a quarter of an hour, footsteps could be heard.

She looked up and saw that it was the former jailer who brought the maid who served tea to the county magistrate. The maid had some reluctance on her face, but she still said in a soft tone: "The magistrate asked me to come and take you out. The room has been given to you." Everyone is ready."

"This……"

Ye Qinglian didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Ye Qingran didn't intend to argue with her. He stood up, patted the dust on his clothes and led the way out of the cell door.

Seeing that there was a chance to go out, the remaining people hurriedly got up from the ground and followed them out of the door.

At this time, the second aunt's condition had improved a lot, but she still had difficulty walking. Ye Anyun helped her walk out, whispering something from time to time.

On the way to the room, the maid's attitude was slightly better than before: "You can call me Lanque. My Lord has said that what Miss Ye said is already under investigation and there will be an answer tonight."

She paused and continued, "My lord also said that the girl should not forget... that matter."

"As long as you do as I say, I won't break my promise. After all, I don't want to cause trouble for myself."

Although Ye Qingran said this, he was actually a little cautious. According to what she said, it was not necessarily just to investigate the poisoning, but also to resolve the issue of exile later on.

This place is already far away from the capital. It must not be difficult to just tell Concubine Xian that they all died on the road, or simply tell Concubine Xian that they have been poisoned to death.

Lanque arranged the rooms for them one by one and left. Before leaving, she met the officers escorting the prisoners who came to inquire. She said a few words and dismissed the officers easily. They didn't seem to have any objections.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qingran became even more sure that she could escape the fate of exile. As long as Chu Qingyun could find a place to stay as she said, the current problem would be solved.

Not long after Lanque left, servants delivered prepared meals to their rooms one by one.

This time it’s no longer a bad meal, it’s all delicious dishes of chicken, duck, and fish.

Although he believed that the county magistrate did not dare to attack them at the moment, for the sake of safety, Ye Qingran still tested all the family's food for poison before he could eat it with confidence.

After eating, she had someone get hot water and new clothes and take a good bath. It was already evening after this trip.

When Lanque came, it was just after dark. She ignored the others and went straight to Ye Qingran's room. She said to her in a friendly voice: "My lord, there is news from over there, saying that the person who poisoned the house has been found."

"Oh?"

Ye Qingran was leaning on the bed, eating snacks happily, "Who is it?"

"He is an ignorant servant with unclean hands and feet. He is usually daring and reckless. I left him because he had no father and mother. I didn't expect that he would do such a thing today."

Lanque smiled, "Don't worry, girl, we adults will not let him go. He has been dealt with. Are you satisfied, girl?"

Satisfied with the size!

Although Ye Qingran's expression remained calm, he knew very well in his heart.

Some servant with unclean hands and feet had clearly found a scapegoat at random. She didn't even see the scapegoat, so even though she said she had dealt with it, she might not have actually done so.

But she didn't plan to dwell on it, it would be a waste of time.

"It's not bad. But there is one more thing. I want to meet my uncle's family. You go and make arrangements."

"This... the girl promised to detoxify the poison after finding out the poisoning. How about the girl detoxify the poison first and then talk to the adults about it? The adults will not disagree."

Lanque seemed a little embarrassed. She came here not only to inform about this matter, but also to get the antidote. Now that the antidote has not been obtained, how can she go back and deliver the work?

Ye Qingran finished the snacks in his hands, clapped his hands and said disapprovingly: "It's up to you."

"you!"

Seeing her attitude, Lanque suddenly felt that she had been tricked and became very angry.

But she didn't get the antidote, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she had to endure it and said, "Okay, I'll go tell the county magistrate right now."

She came back soon, looking a little sad.

Obviously, the county magistrate failed to get the antidote and lost his temper at her. She could only endure her anger and calm down her voice: "Girl, come with me."

Ye Qingran followed her to the backyard. The uncle's family was already sitting at the table, talking and laughing while drinking tea.Their faces improved a lot, and it seemed that the county magistrate treated them very attentively.

This also verified her idea that Concubine Xian must have arranged this matter.

When they saw her, their expressions suddenly changed. Ye Ziqiang even asked angrily: "How did you get out?"

"Hey, can't you see that my cousin cares about me so much?"

Ye Qingran smiled maliciously, "I thought you only cared about eating, drinking and having fun and forgot about us."

This choked him up, and he waited for a long time before he counterattacked: "If it weren't for you, how could we have ended up in exile? Why do you have the nerve to blame us for not caring now? I advise you to go back to your prison as soon as possible. , it would be better for everyone if we cause less trouble."

"Oh my, cousin, it's as if you can't be very successful without me."

Ye Qingran rolled his eyes, "Isn't it the same for you? If no one saves you, you have to go back to the cell with me. What's the difference?"

"Who said we have no one to save us? We have Concubine Xian..."

"Strengthen yourself!"

The eldest uncle interrupted him, glared at him, and then looked at Ye Qingran, "We have no one to save us, but we have our own methods. As for you, just take care of yourself."

"So, uncle is so proud, and now he is sitting here eating and drinking, all by himself?"

"Huh, you don't need to worry about it. It's okay to be bullied by you on the road. Now we don't have to make things difficult for you. It's better. It's better not to talk nonsense here."

Seeing that he couldn't think of anything else to say, Ye Qingran didn't say much.She just wanted to confirm whether Concubine Xian was really involved in this matter. Now that her goal was achieved, the rest was not so important.

After returning to the room, Ye Qingran did not rush in. Instead, she turned around and knocked on Ye Zhuoyu's door.
