Bai Lian was very happy when she knew about this, because from now on she would be the only woman left in the He family.

Although she couldn't become the principal wife, she didn't have to look at anyone's face: "I usually thought the Madam was very powerful, but I didn't expect her to be just an embroidered pillow."

The maid Xiao Zhu stayed in a cell for a while before being sold to the He Mansion because her house was searched. She knew that once she entered the cell, punishment would be waiting for her.

Chen Lerong was enjoying a life of luxury in the backyard, so how could she endure the suffering in the cell? "It's normal that I can't stand it."

"I thought it would take a lot of time to defeat Chen Lerong. I had to be on guard against her every day in the mansion and live a life of fear."

At this point, Bai Lian couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that I would kill myself."

Xiao Zhu was still worried: "Do you think the lady is really crazy or not? What if she pretends to be crazy to avoid being beheaded?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if he pretends to be crazy, he will never leave the cell in this life." Bai Lian picked up her son in the cradle and said, "From now on, the He Mansion belongs to my son."

……

He Shuzhen looked at his father in disbelief: "Please repeat what you just said."

"Chen Lerong let the Hu people into the capital and was arrested by Prince Ning. After the verdict was handed down, Chen Lerong went crazy."

He Shuzhen didn't want to believe what his father said: "Maybe you made a mistake."

"No, Prince Ning is famous for his fairness. He has investigated this case thoroughly, and Chen Lerong has admitted everything and signed the agreement."

He Shuzhen felt dizzy and the whole world was about to collapse with Chen Lerong's departure.

In the future, she will not have any help in the He Mansion: "I remember that Prince Ning and the Prince of the County have a very good relationship. You can ask the Prince of the County for help."

"I went to the Prince's Mansion and looked for He Shulan, but she couldn't help."

He Shuzhen's dark eyes were filled with anger: "He Shulan clearly doesn't want to help. I think she did it on purpose."

"He Shulan cannot be blamed for this. I have contacted other officials in the court, but because this case was taken over by Prince Ning, no one dared to help." He's father advised.

He Shuzhen didn't know the seriousness of the matter and insisted that He Shulan just didn't want to help.

She blamed He Shulan: "How come you can only tell me this now?"

"Your mother was taken away very suddenly. In order to get her out of the cell, I ran around looking for people to help me every day. How could I have time to look for you?"

He's father did not expect things to turn out like this.

He Shuzhen has no way to protect herself now. Liu Chen can't find a job in the capital, so sooner or later he will pack up and return to the countryside.

As for her, she did not use her wedding attire to help the family, so she could only follow Liu Chen back to the countryside: "I'm going to the prison to see my mother."

He's father didn't want He Shuzhen to see Chen Lerong's miserable state: "It's better not to go and see."

He Shuzhen couldn't just abandon her mother, and she wanted to confirm whether her mother was really crazy or just pretending to be crazy: "In the future, the chances to see my mother will be very few and far between."

He's father stopped talking. Fortunately, Chen Lerong's incident did not implicate the He family. "If you want to go and see, go ahead! Give the government runners some silver."

"Okay!" He Shuzhen saw her father off and got on a carriage to the cell.

At first, the bailiffs did not let He Shuzhen in.

He Shuzhen's attempt to stuff silver into the bag didn't work. Finally, she moved the prince out of the bag and the bailiff let her in.

I followed the bailiff into the dim cell. The cell was relatively clean, with no strange smell or blood.

It was just too quiet, so quiet that it made people feel scared. I walked to the end of the cell.

He Shuzhen saw a thin figure squatting on the ground.

The bailiff sent He Shuzhen to the cell and then turned around and left.

When the yamen runners disappeared at the end, He Shuzhen called out cautiously, "Mother."

Chen Lerong, who was sitting there with disheveled hair, didn't move at all.

He Shuzhen couldn't help but raise her voice: "Mom, it's me, I'm here to see you."

Chen Lerong still didn't react.

He Shuzhen was furious and grabbed Chen Lerong and turned her body over.

Chen Lerong was wearing dirty prison clothes, with messy hair, her face was as pale as paper, and she looked at He Shuzhen with dull eyes.

He Shuzhen's heart skipped a beat. She felt that Chen Lerong didn't seem to be playing dumb. She asked in a trembling voice, "Mother, I'm here to see you. Do you still recognize who I am?"

Chen Lerong did not reply, but looked at He Shuzhen quietly with a dull look in her eyes.

He Shuzhen was frightened by the look on her face, and she was also very anxious: "Are you really crazy or just pretending to be crazy? Now there are only you and me in the cell, so why don't you say something to me."

Chen Lerong remained indifferent.

This made He Shuzhen very angry. She picked up a stone from the ground, threw it at Chen Lerong, and shouted angrily, "Speak up."

Chen Lerong, who was stimulated, finally reacted. She pushed He Shuzhen away, held her head, screamed loudly, and ran around in the cell.

Chen Lerong was full of hostility towards He Shuzhen. She followed her example, picked up stones from the ground and threw them at He Shuzhen.

He Shuzhen kept backing away in pain and had to keep a distance from Chen Lerong: "Mother, open your eyes and look carefully, I am your daughter, He Shuzhen."

Chen Lerong, who was stimulated, hit it even harder.

Now, He Shuzhen was sure that Chen Lerong was really crazy. Suddenly, she found it difficult to accept this matter.

In a trance, a huge rock hit He Shuzhen on the head.

Bright red blood flowed down her forehead, and she covered her forehead with her hands as she tried to walk in.

The bailiff who came in after hearing the noise stopped him and said, "Your mother is unconscious now. If you go close to her, you will only get hurt."

At this time, He Shuzhen woke up and stopped moving forward. Instead, she covered her head and stood outside the cell.

Quietly watching the crazy Chen Lerong.

After a long time, Chen Lerong, who had had enough of the noise, calmed down and sat on the ground with a dazed look on his face.

He Shuzhen couldn't bear to leave Chen Lerong alone in this cold cell: "She has gone crazy. Can I take her back and take care of her?"

"This matter is not something I can decide. You have to go find Prince Ning. Only if he agrees can we release him."

He Shuzhen nodded in understanding, covered her head, and followed the bailiff out of the cell.

The dazzling sunlight washed away the coldness on her body and made her feel much more sober.

If she wanted Prince Ning to agree to release the people, she could only ask He Shulan for help. But she got a headache when she thought about their relationship which was like fire and water.

She had always held her head high in front of He Shulan, but now she had to beg He Shulan in a servile manner, which made her headache even worse.

In order to let Chen Lerong suffer less, he had to bow his head in front of He Shulan.

When the bailiff saw that He Shuzhen was injured, he immediately arranged for a government doctor to treat her.
