Chapter 30 We Are Not Animals

Dang lang, the prison door was locked, the female prison left, and only the dark lights and a rotten and dull aura remained around.

Woo woo woo woo, someone finally cried out.

One person opened his head, and the others couldn't help crying, and for a moment, the crying filled the entire cell.

They were born as ladies from the Duke's Mansion. What they were most worried about was that jewelry and clothing were not the most fashionable season. How embarrassing to go out? How did they think that one day they would be thrown into a prison, and the sisters squeezed into a dark and damp cell?

For them, this is the most terrible thing they have ever encountered in their lives.

Gu Zhao tied the cuffs tightly with a strap, squatted down and checked the room. The room was not big, the ground was uneven, and there was a large pile of straw piled up against the wall.

Gu Zhao touched it with his hands. The straw was very dry and there was no odor. It should have been replaced just now. It was obvious that some preparations were made for the group of special "guests" who were about to stay.

This is much better than her treatment during the period in the cold palace.

"Stop crying, come and lay the straw, everyone squeezed it and got to sleep. The Duke of the State may come to pick you up until tomorrow."

Perhaps Gu Zhao's tone was a little understateed, and Lin Yayi suddenly became annoyed.

"How do you sleep? You are talking about lightness! You don't have a short couch, how do you sleep? You won't let us sleep on straw, are you? We are not animals! You have been used to it for a long time, we are not you!"

Gu Zhao looked at them, laughed, and said nothing more. He just spread the straw and sat up on it, wrapped his cloak and closed his eyes against the wall.

After a while, rustling footsteps sounded, and a soft body sat down next to Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao didn't open his eyes, and didn't know who was crying indifferently, and she was not interested in taking care of it.

"At this time, my father should have known about us, right? Why didn't he come to pick us up yet?" I don't know who asked.

The little girl next to Gu Zhao sobbed and hugged Gu Zhao's arm tightly.

Gu Zhao felt her size and recognized that this was the youngest among them, Lin Xiaotao, who was just six years old and Aunt Jiang’s youngest daughter.

Because Lin Xiaotao was not in good health after giving birth, she gave birth to a nickname and has been raised until now. She is usually a baby that Lin Weikang loves.

Lin Yayi glared at her coldly and said angrily, "Father must have gone to see his baby lady, the future princess."

They didn't go back so late. It was impossible for Duke Li's mansion to know that something happened. No one has come yet, so they must have focused on Lin Xuerong's side.

"Big sister... she's like this... shouldn't the second uncle consider our reputation first? If I spend the night in prison, what should others say about us in the future?"

"That's right, it's dark and stuffy, and there's not even a hot tea. I want to go home."

"Second sister, you were there at the time. What happened to the eldest sister and the Prince of Xinyang?"

Gu Zhao pretended not to hear it, and Lin Yayi continued to say sarcastically, "The Prince of Xinyang has been in love with the eldest lady for many years. The eldest lady insisted on saying that she was just grateful, and did not agree or reject her. Isn't it sooner or later something happened?"

Gu Zhao leaned against the corner of the wall and felt the little girl beside her burrowing into her arms. The soft and warm feeling made her heart ache. She couldn't help but raise her arm and put her around the girl's back and patted her gently.

As a result, when his arm moved, he found that the little girl was grinding her teeth with her sleeve in her mouth.

When Gu Zhao lowered his head, the little girl raised her eyes pitifully and explained softly, "I'm hungry."

It was said that he was six years old, but in fact he was a child over four years old. Fortunately, Aunt Jiang was relieved, so she asked the wet nurse to carry her to go out to play with her sisters.

Children are prone to hunger, so it would be strange if they are not hungry until midnight.

Gu Zhao took out the jerky he had prepared from his sleeve and quietly stuffed it into her mouth.

"Shh."

The little girl's eyes lit up, she crawled into Gu Zhao's arms and laughed in a low voice.

...

"I haven't washed up yet, how can I sleep?"

"That's right, my hair has not been removed, my face has not been washed, and my balm has not been wiped. How can I sleep?"

Gu Zhao closed his eyes, regardless of the complaints of these daughters. What flashed through her mind were the scenes when she just entered the women's prison.

After rebirth, he suddenly had the special ability to hear other people's voices, which brought great help to Gu Zhao's revenge plan, but also reminded Gu Zhao that he should not rely entirely on this ability. He should also observe more details, understand more people's hearts, and improve his own eyesight.

Otherwise, if she encounters a situation that is obviously suspicious but inconvenient to touch her body, she may be helpless.

For example, Tang Zhongyun, Gu Zhao clearly felt that he had a problem, but in the end he didn't figure out what the problem was.

This is fine, after all, it has nothing to do with her.

But today, when she encountered the situation in the Immortal Tower, someone wanted to murder the prince, but she was confused and still dealt with Qin Youjin and Lin Xuerong as planned, which in vainly increased the risk to herself.

So from the time he entered the women's prison, Gu Zhao deliberately observed the surrounding environment and everyone's actions to exercise himself.

When they came in, there were three prisoners in the women's prison. The leader was a short, fat man, and experienced in his language. He was not particularly enthusiastic about these "inmates" with special identities. He must have been in the women's prison for a long time and had seen a lot of wealth and prosperity?

The other two prisoners, one tall and thin, and the other short and thin, were both wearing the same clothes, both in their thirties.

However, the tall and thin ones were more active and rushed to open the prison door for them, but they quickly pulled their face down and became very active. When they locked the door, they seemed to be dissatisfied with them.

Is it because I think they are the ladies of the Duke's Mansion and will give the reward to the end?
