When Wang Cuihua woke up again, she felt lost and confused.

She slowly opened her eyes, looked around, and found that she was back in the room where she was recuperating.

"How did I get back? What happened just now?" She muttered to herself, while gently touching her forehead, which was still a little painful, and rubbing it hard.

The previous scene kept flashing through her mind - she was taken advantage of by a shameless lecher, and before she could even see the chief of the yamen runners chopping off the odious prisoner's hands and feet, she fainted for no apparent reason!

Wang Cuihua fell into deep thought, trying hard to recall every detail before she fainted, but the memory in her mind seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making it impossible for her to remember clearly what had happened.

Just as she was thinking hard, suddenly, the door was pushed open gently.

A petite and frail-looking yamen runner came in carrying a steaming meal.

"Miss, you're finally awake! I was thinking of bringing the food over first so you can enjoy it as soon as you wake up, but I didn't expect you to wake up so soon." The young yamen runner smiled with joy and carefully carried the food into the house.

Ever since Wang Cuihua was transferred from prison to this house, this kind little yamen runner has been responsible for taking care of her food and daily life.

Wang Cuihua did not show much surprise at his appearance.

"Let's leave it there for now. I still feel a little dizzy and have no appetite at all." Wang Cuihua said weakly, with a trace of fatigue and discomfort on her face.

She closed her eyes gently, trying to calm the irritability and nausea in her heart.

The young yamen runner seemed to notice her condition and asked with concern: "Miss, are you feeling okay? Do you want me to ask a doctor to come and see you?"

Wang Cuihua shook her head and forced a smile: "No, I just need to rest for a while."

The young yamen runner scratched his head and answered hesitantly, "Uh... okay. If you still feel uncomfortable, call me again."

Hearing this, Wang Cuihua felt a little relieved. She decided to take good care of her body first, and then find out the follow-up situation after she regained her strength.

Unlike the days in prison, Wang Cuihua's treatment has become particularly good since she moved here to recuperate.

It was as if someone had told her that no matter what request she made, as long as it was not too excessive, it would basically be met.

Even if she said that she didn't like these two dishes, this little yamen runner would never complain and would immediately go out and make them again for her.

So she wasn't worried at all about the food getting cold and not tasty.

The young yamen runner smiled slightly, put down his food, raised his hand to salute, and turned to walk out the door. Before closing the door, he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right! The master said that after you wake up, go to the study to see him."

He raised his hand and patted his head.

How come in just a day and a half, I almost forgot what the adults told me to do.

"Ah? What sir? Which sir? Why do you want to see a woman like me?"

After her experience in prison, Wang Cuihua subconsciously hugged her arms tightly.

"Who else is here? Of course it's the county magistrate of Lin County! Go quickly, the magistrate probably hasn't started eating yet, so it's just right to go and see him."

The young yamen runner pushed the half-closed door open again, ran in with small steps, helped Wang Cuihua up, and was about to walk out.

"I don't want to go. I don't want to see any adults! Let me go!" Wang Cuihua shook off the young yamen runner's arm and refused to go out.

"What's wrong with you? Don't be afraid, our adults are very nice. We will definitely not make things difficult for you."

"Really?" Wang Cuihua was full of doubts.

To be honest, ever since she was arrested and locked up, it was all ordered by that damn yamen chief.

She remembered that when she was about to collapse, she was dragged to the lobby and met the so-called county magistrate.

After that, he was moved from the prison to here. From this point of view, this county magistrate should be the one who ordered the rescue of himself, and he should not be a bad person.

She gradually regained her sanity, sorted out her thoughts, and said, "Okay then. I'll go with you. But don't go too far. Otherwise, what will I do if I can't find it?"

She knew it very well in her heart, and she was not afraid of getting lost and not being able to come back!

She just thought that if this person was nearby, if anything unexpected happened, someone would be able to hear her call for help.

At this moment, the county magistrate had returned from the main hall to the backyard and was taking a short rest in the study.

When he heard the bailiff report that Wang Cuihua had woken up, he immediately stood up from the rocking chair and walked to the desk and sat down.

Not long after, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a report: "Sir, the person is here."

"Okay, you go down first." The county magistrate waved his hand, signaling the yamen runners to retreat.

"Yes." The bailiffs answered in unison, then left the room one by one and closed the door.

Wang Cuihua half lowered her head and secretly looked around the room.

The bookshelf on one side is filled with books.

The desk is fully equipped with all the four treasures, and there are several brushes hanging on the pen holder.

In the corner, there is a pot of orchid, emitting a faint fragrance, which adds a bit of vitality to this simple study.

Elegant and noble, he doesn't seem to be a wasteful person.

Wang Cuihua's fluctuating heart finally calmed down a little.

Since she was meeting a high-ranking official, she naturally had to perform formalities. She bent her body and knelt down to kowtow.

"No need for that! This is not a trial hall. There is no need to show such formalities." The county magistrate quickly stopped him.

No matter what, this fat girl was also innocently implicated. I heard that she had a serious illness and lost half of her body weight. It's really hard to imagine!

It is conceivable that he suffered a lot.

In addition, after reading the descriptions secretly collected and recorded by the second brother, the bailiffs in the prison made things difficult for her in every way!

He was extremely angry when he thought about the fact that such a thing had happened in the government office he managed.

Although the perpetrators had been dismissed and investigated, and the yamen runners had been ordered to take good care of the girl and help her recover, this could not make up for the harm done to her.

Just take the hundred pounds of weight I lost, for example. I don’t know when I can get it back.

I don’t know whose fat girl this is, but she looks so pitiful that he keeps shaking his head.

The county magistrate remained silent, and Wang Cuihua, standing in the center of the field, became more and more nervous.

She kept twisting the loose collar of her clothes with both hands, and it looked like it might have been torn into pieces.

"Don't be afraid. I want to ask you about your situation first. What is your name? Where do you live? And why were you arrested?"

When Wang Cuihua heard the other party asking where she lived, she could no longer bear the psychological pressure and fell to her knees.

This official must have already found out that Zhuo Youcai's death was caused by her and is investigating her here!

"I...I didn't do anything. You can't accuse me!"
