The Love of the General

Chapter 35

Night In Prison

That night he couldn't sleep because he kept imagining that he might be killed by someone else. Every time he watched a historical drama, he saw people in poison and then killed in prison.

He looked around him, he saw that some of them were also unable to sleep. Lan You Nian looked at a woman in her thirties beside her cell.

The woman looked like she had never committed a major crime. He shifted closer to the woman's side, he started asking.

" Excuse me ma'am, why can't you sleep? " He was bored and wanted to talk to someone.

" I'm thinking about my daughter. " The woman slowly said as she looked at the young girl that was Lan You Nian.

" Where's your daughter? Is he home? " Lan You Nian asked.

"Don't worry. If you don't want to talk, I'm not forcing you. " He added quickly because he was afraid that he might subconsciously hurt the woman.

After taking a deep, heavy breath, the woman told him the problem.

" My daughter is no longer in this world. He was sick but I couldn't afford the medicine and acupuncture he needed. I work as a maid in a wealthy family's home. I stole from the mistress' room because I was really desperate for her only daughter. Even though I worked until death, I still could not pay for my child's medical expenses because my employer never gave me a penny. A few days after I went to jail, my daughter died and I couldn't see her one last time. I had to stay in prison and work as a slave for two months as punishment for stealing. " The woman told Lan You Nian her story.

Lan You Nian could not capture any emotions from the woman. But when she saw the woman clenching her fists tightly, she knew the mother was holding back her pain inside.

Losing a child is the most painful and painful thing every mother experiences. It was a pain that could not be cured with any medicine.

" You are a strong woman. I hope you get the justice you deserve." Lan You Nian held the woman's hand with both of her hands. The woman's hand was full of bruises and old scars from her employer. Lan You Nian tried to hold back her tears that were about to come out.

" Thank you, miss. I don't know who you are, but may God bless you for your kindness." The woman thanked Lan You Nian for listening to her story. It felt so easy when he took off the pressure he was holding on to.

Waking up irritated, his stomach rumbling because he was so hungry. He refused to eat all day. Not because the food was not good but his dramatic mind continued to imagine that the food contained poison.

" Your lady has been released on noble orders." His voice woke him from his dream.

Lan You Nian looked at him in disbelief. He finally released? But how?

" really? " Excitement could be heard from his tone. After spending the night in prison, he had already repented a lot.

" Thank you for your good service either yesterday or today. " He did not forget to show his gratitude to the guard and gave him some silverware.

" Thank you, madam. " The guard bowed respectfully to him.

Lan You Nian took off some of her jewelry and walked back to the woman yesterday.

" Mrs.I don't have any more money but here are some gifts for you. It may not be worth much but you can trade it for silver when you get out. " He handed it to that woman.

" Thank you very much, Miss! Thank you very much! " Tears began to pool in the woman's eyes. He saw a new hope.

Walking out of prison aroused gratitude within him. He knew he was going to get out of jail. But he didn't expect that he would get out of jail so soon.

" Xuan Xuan must have done something out of control. I already told you! Wait for me to go home! I'm gonna hit him in the head with Zhao Mama's frying pan. "

Muttering to himself suddenly he hit the wall or should we say human.

" Ouch! ouch! i'm sorry...." Lan You Nian was fixated upon seeing Feng Yi Xuan.

" Eh. Xuan Xuan you don't pick me up. I can go home by myself. Don't bother yourself. " He would nag at her but seeing her usual expression, he threw away the idea.

" You're not bothering me. "

" How do you get me out of here? are you threatening your majesty...? "Lan You Nian stopped his last sentence.

" It was Liu Qi. " His face hardened as the word came out of his mouth.

......................

Yesterday, Feng Yi Xuan had lost all of her rational and tolerant thoughts. He was about to threaten the emperor but Daku Sin's arrival at the manor stopped him and forced him to look for another way.

" *Are you crazy? You think Lan You Nian wants you to do this? " Daku Sin firmly said to Feng Yi Xuan.

" out. " Feng Yi Xuan ignored him.

" He always thinks of you even in the most critical of times. You really think that he would be happy if you defied your emperor for him. He wouldn't do it. Do it if you want and you'll lose her. mark my words. " Daku Sin left as soon as he finished saying that.

He did not try to save Feng Yi Xuan but it was for Lan You Nian. If something were to happen to Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian would be the one to suffer the most.

And Daku Sin would never want that to happen even if it meant that he had to help the man who became his rival*.
