Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 119 Part 3: Father

She would let Feng Yu Tang and Princess Yongning have a lifelong regret for all the things they had done to her.

Jiang Li spoke to Ye Ming Yu, Uncle Ming Yu, please ask someone to hold Feng Yu Tang, dont let him slip away and look after him well.

Ye Ming Yu nodded, looked at Jiang Li turning around and asked her, Ah Li, where are you going?

Jiang Li said, Feng Yu Tang has already lost his power and influence in prison. The jailer found the news out and has long since run off. Now going to see County Deputy Xue should not have any obstruction. She smiled, I think there are still many like County Deputy Xue in Tongxiang prison, being accused wrongly and imprisoned. I want to let them all out. Tongxiang, this place, is going to change.

In the end, the people who went to prison with Jiang Li were Ye Ming Yus servant boy, Ah Shun. Theres also butcher Zhang.

Although he got the news that the jailer had run away, just in case, Ye Ming Yu still asked Jiang Li to bring a few more people. He still wanted to guard Feng Yu Tang to avoid him escaping if theres opportunity.

At the gate of the prison, there were sounds of chaotic footsteps. Presumably, they were the steps of those jailers who received the news that Feng Yu Tang had met with mishap at the last moments, were flustered and in a panic to leave. There were still some messy silvers on the ground. However, Ye Ming Yu had dispatched some people and the residents of Tongxiang to block the city gate. If there were people who wanted to escape, they would be blocked by them.

Ah Shun stood at the gate, lighting a torch together with butcher Zhang and stretched his head to look inside. Its gloomy and eerie inside the prison as all the torches had been extinguished and the inside looked somewhat unclear. For fear that Jiang Li could not see the steps and fell, Ah Shun was about to remind Jiang Li to be careful but saw Jiang Li, without even lighting a torch, had walked down.

Ah Shun, ..

When she was young, Xue Huai Yuan did not allow her and Xue Zhao to visit the prison. However, everytime Xue Zhao went, he always brought her in secretly. The jailer knew they were Xue Huai Yuans children. knew that children only wanted to have fun and also knew that they would not cause any trouble, so the jailor just closed one eye. In regards to prison, Jiang Li was not at all unfamiliar. Some of the people locked inside the prison were really evil while some were forced by life to commit crimes. However, theres one point thats the same, the people inside were all guilty.

Whenever Xue Huai Yuan came, he was always wearing his washed out official uniform. He once rescued butcher Zhang who was wrongly accused, also had previously sent a truly guilty villain but lived carefreely into prison.

Jiang Li had never thought that one day, she would see the figure of his father in prison wearing a prison uniform.

The torches inside the prison were all extinguished, leaving the torches held in the hands of Ah Shun and butcher Zhang. The light was not enough to let people see her blurry eye sockets. Each step she took was very slow, as if she was afraid of falling. However, only Jiang Li herself knew that her hands were trembling slightly.

She was scared.

She was afraid to see such a father, afraid to see the father that she had looked up to as her heaven since she was young, Xue Zhaos big tree, the indomitable father, curled up into a ball and lost his clear-headedness and memory in the dark.

Ah Shuns torch illuminated the faces of the people inside the cells one by one, the sound of grievances abruptly echoed repeatedly. No one knew how many miscarriage of justice Feng Yu Tang had actually done. Once a stranger came in, the cries of injustice would resonate. But there were more people who just raised their eyes to look at them with indifference, as if they had lost all hope of the future. These were the people who had been tortured and no longer believed in hope.

No, no, no. Jiang Li looked one by one, those who lost an arm and a leg, seeing that they were not her father, her heart felt a bit relieved. Shortly after, she became more urgent, why hasnt she seen him?

Until the very last one.

Ah Shuns torch had reached the front of the door. The person inside shrunk into the corner, unknown whether he was sleeping or laying down, his back facing them, refusing to turn his head to see them. Ah Shun subconsciously glanced at Jiang Li. He had never met Xue Huai Yuan and did not know his appearance, butcher Zhang knew. But everytime, before butcher Zhang recognized the person, Jiang Li had already shook her head.

No one would have doubted that Jiang Li also recognized Xue Huai Yuan. Perhaps she was even more familiar to Xue Huai Yuan than butcher Zhang. Therefore, she could immediately determine that the person in front of her was not Xue Huai Yuan before.

Ah Shun looked at Jiang Li to see her suddenly grabbing the door, her expression dazzled.

He perked up, knowing this expression on Jiang Li meant that this person was Xue Huai Yuan for sure. He fished the key to the prison cell without delay and turned the lock.

The prison door immediately opened.

Butcher Zhang was still hesitating. Though he knew Xue Huai Yuan, this person had not turned around yet and he could not see his face at all, thus he could not be sure. Although he did not know why Ah Shun immediately opened the cell door after he glanced at Miss Jiang second, butcher Zhang thought of going in first to take a look, in case it wasnt Xue Huai Yuan and Miss Jiang second was injured. He saw that the young lady practically seemed unable to hold back and went inside with lightning speed.

Butcher Zhang and Ah Shun were both stunned. Ah Shun said, Ah, miss cousin, the torch..

Under the gloomy light of the torch, Jiang Li saw the solitary figure sitting in the corner. His head leaning against the wall, hair unkempt. That outstanding, upright and tall figure had unknowingly turned stooped like this, his body had become thin. Her brain buzzed for a while, her knees turned soft and she knelt down.

Ah Shun was greatly alarmed, nearly about to cry out. Butcher Zhang by his side pulled him, making him forcibly swallow the cry in his throat. However, he still did not understand, theres gold under a mans knees. Miss cousin was not a man, naturally going down on her knees was not so precious. But even if Xue Huai Yuan and miss cousin were former acquaintances, or connected by whatever relations, why would miss cousin kneel down? This was truly inconceivable.
