Although Mrs. Du's voice was very loud, the witch remained motionless, as if she could not hear anything and continued to sleep soundly.

"Get up, don't sleep anymore! You old bitch!" Mrs. Du stomped her feet and cursed.

If I sleep soundly now, I will have enough energy to stay awake at night.

But she was used to sleeping at night and couldn't fall asleep during the day.

She still had to wait for Shen Zhinian to arrive during the day.

When thinking of Shen Zhinian, Du's heart was filled with resentment.

Two whole days passed and Shen Zhinian didn't even show up.

And the time Shen Qingyin mentioned to withdraw the lawsuit was only one day left.

What should she do?

Mrs. Du's scolding did not wake up the witch, but instead attracted ridicule from the prisoners.

"Stop arguing. You are a vicious woman who murdered her adopted daughter. Do you still have the nerve to be so arrogant and swear here?"

"What a powerful figure! The noise so loud so early in the morning makes it hard to keep anyone company!"

"No matter your status, since you are here, you are the same as everyone else. Don't use your majesty as the wife of an official to scare others!"

"That's right, if you're really capable, then go out! Why are you showing off here?"

Listening to the prisoners' harsh words, Mrs. Du refused to accept it.

She attempted murder but Shen Miaomiao is still alive and well.

When this fortune-teller was sent in, it was clearly stated that someone had been killed.

Why should they keep silent even though she, a murderer, kept muttering to herself all night long and was so annoying?

And you are helping the fortune teller to target me?

"She's just a murderer. What benefit has she brought to you? Are you going to speak up for her?" Mrs. Du walked to the fence and glanced at the prisoners on the opposite side and in several cells on both sides.

"Murderer? Do you know why she killed people and who she killed?" The young man who was stealing things in the prison asked Du with a sneer.

"A murderer is a murderer. No matter why he killed or who he killed, he still killed someone! I didn't kill anyone!" Mrs. Du said with her chest puffed out. She knew a thing or two about the laws of the court. There was no reason for killing someone.

Her words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the prisoners.

"Bah, what can you compare with her? She was trying to save a young lady and accidentally killed an old pervert, and you murdered a little girl who was only a few years old. How dare you compare with her?" the thief cursed.

"That's right. She stays up all night chanting mantras for the deceased. How does it bother you if she takes a nap during the day?"

Mrs. Du was stunned.

These prisoners know it very well!

However, there are people visiting the prison every day, and many important events outside are indeed reported in very quickly.

For example, originally, the prisoners didn't know about her, but on the second day after she came in, someone came to the prison to deliver food and mentioned it, and soon everyone knew about it...

But it's still not right!

Mrs. Du stared, "Then, why did she have to recite the mantra for the afterlife to me? I'm not a dead person!"

Someone laughed and said, "You think too much. She was chanting to the Buddha in the West Heaven, not to you. It's your fault that your prison is just to the west of hers!"

There is actually such a saying. It's her bad luck!

Mrs. Du was so angry that she couldn't say anything.

But the prisoners couldn't stop talking.

"What a shameless and vicious woman! You almost ruined your own daughter's reputation in public! How can there be such a vicious person like you in the world!"

"In my opinion, that child may not be her biological child. No biological child would be treated so badly..."

The prisoners were talking to each other, and the whole prison was noisy, almost turning into a meeting to denounce Du.

At first, Du could still distinguish a few sentences.

From then on, whenever she tried to defend herself, she would be scolded.

Even the two jailers on duty in the prison took sides.

"Mrs. Du, you vicious woman, stop stirring up trouble here, or I won't give you any food today!"

Mrs. Du didn't dare to argue anymore.

I was so angry that I was shaking all over, but there was nothing I could do.

She leaned against the cold wall with empty eyes.

Thinking carefully about the two "out-of-line" things I had done, which one was not for the sake of the Shen family?

She has paid too much for the Shen family...

But what about the Shen family?

What about people?

The more Mrs. Du thought about it, the sadder she became. Perhaps because she was too sleepy, she fell asleep in a daze.

I slept until almost noon.

With a bang, the prison door was pushed open and Mrs. Du woke up from her nightmare.

The forbidden woman brought someone in.

It was none other than Shen Qingyin.

"Mother, I'm here to see you again. There's only one day left. I wonder if you have made up your mind?" Shen Qingyin smiled faintly.

Looking at Shen Qingyin again at this moment, Mrs. Du no longer rejected him as before.

She hesitated for a while, and then said as if she had made up her mind: "Forget it, I can give you the things, but I don't want to talk here."

She just wanted to get out now.

Continue to wait for Shen Zhinian, I don’t know how long I have to wait...

Shen Qingyin quickly arranged for someone to bring Mrs. Du to a separate room.

"Go ahead." Shen Qingyin sat down in front of Mrs. Du.

"I can give it to you, but that thing is worth twenty thousand taels. You can't just take it away for nothing. You have to compensate me a little, right?" Mrs. Du's intention was very clear.

The things can be given, but Shen Qingyin has to exchange them for silver.

"How much do you want?" Shen Qingyin chuckled, as if he had expected Du to do so.

However, she did not wait for Mrs. Du to make an offer, but directly said: "I can give you fifty taels as your storage fee for so many years, not a penny more! That thing originally belonged to my biological mother, it is only natural for me to take it back."

Mrs. Du was so angry that her face turned red. "Five, fifty taels? You're treating like a beggar! That thing is obviously worth twenty thousand taels, and even when it comes to bargaining, no one is as black-hearted as you!"

Shen Qingyin smiled faintly: "Bargaining? I don't have the leisure to do that! Mother, don't make a mistake. No matter how much it is worth, it is not yours in the first place. Just fifty taels. If you agree, we will make a deal. If not, I will have someone send you back to prison immediately."

Seeing Shen Qingyin standing up and turning around to leave while talking, Du Shi felt panicked.

She was determined not to go back to that cell, she wanted to go home!

There's no comparison between a jail cell and home!

Mrs. Du gritted her teeth and said, "Well, fifty taels is fifty taels. Give me the banknote!"

A fly is still meat, and fifty taels is money after all. It is better than having nothing at all.

Shen Qingyin turned to look at Fen'er, and Fen'er reluctantly took out a fifty-liang silver note from her purse and handed it to Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du took it and put it into her sleeve.

"Where is the thing?" Shen Qingyin asked.

"You have to keep your word. After I give you the things, you must immediately withdraw the lawsuit and let me go!" Mrs. Du was obviously still a little worried.

"I always keep my word." Shen Qingyin said in a cold tone.

Mrs. Du gritted her teeth again, suddenly lowered her head and began to unbutton her clothes.

Unbutton the outer garment and the inner garment.

Fan Er was stunned: "Madam, what are you going to do?"
