The young man driving the carriage said, "There are usually not many people around this charity cemetery. How come we saw someone on the roadside? Miss Yu, did you see someone just now? Am I seeing things?"

Yu Jiahe nodded and said, "I saw a person in white clothes."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you can see it. They all say that there are unclean things on this road. We must not get contaminated by them."

Yu Jiahe smiled slightly. She knew that Eleven was telling her on purpose that he was always protecting her.

Yu Jiahe was thrown into jail again and was taken out the next day.

On the water pavilion, a figure was sitting with his back to her. She recognized him at a glance. Su Hongyang finally appeared.

"My Lord." Yu Jiahe bowed slightly.

Su Hongyang turned around and saw the girl in front of him with a rosy complexion and no sign of suffering. His words of comfort were stuck in his mouth.

"How come My Lord has time to come and see me today?" Yu Jiahe asked.

"I heard about your situation and came here by chance. Look how you've become like this in just a short time since we last met. It must be hard to be in prison. As long as you come to the Marquis' Mansion with me and behave like a rich lady, I will rescue you."

Yu Jiahe smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord. I have been living in the prison for a few days and I feel like I am living quite well. I don't need to trouble you, Lord."

"You know if I hadn't pressured the prefect, he would have sentenced you to murder long ago."

Yu Jiahe smiled indifferently, "That's fine. Life or death is up to you. After I die, you don't have to live in fear every day."

"You..." Su Hongyang pointed at her head and suppressed his anger. "What on earth do you want me to do in exchange for your willingness to go home with you?"

"My home is in Qingsang Village," said Yu Jiahe.

The anger that Su Hongyang had just suppressed immediately came out again, and every word she said hit his sore spot.

Instead of avoiding him, Yu Jiahe strode forward, walked in front of him, and looked him straight in the eyes, "Your efforts are in vain."

Su Hongyang's pupils slightly dilated for a moment, "How did you know?"

"Is it difficult to guess?" Yu Jiahe asked back.

Su Hongyang suddenly laughed, "You are a smart person. A smart person should know how to choose what is beneficial to you."

"Is Madam's illness cured?" Yu Jiahe asked again.

Su Hongyang felt a little depressed when he thought that no matter how he tried to persuade Liang Xinyue, she was determined to marry Su Pingting and refused to admit that she had taken the wrong child.

Why did he do so much? Wasn't it just for the family to be reunited? Why did everyone except him wish that the family would fall apart?

"I'll give you three days to think about it. If you don't want to go back to the Marquis' Mansion, you won't exist in this world anymore."

The Marquis' Mansion cannot let the bloodline flow outside. If it cannot be brought back, it is better to wipe it out directly.

They are really cruel. Yu Jiahe clenched her fists, knowing that if she didn't do what they wanted, she would not be able to live.

In that case, don't blame yourself for overturning the table.

"Then can I ask you a question?"

Su Hongyang's expression softened as he looked at his daughter who had finally surrendered. After all, it was because of his carelessness that she had suffered for so many years.

"Did you kill Su Pingting's parents?"

"Asshole!" Su Hongyang cursed, "Do you know what you are asking?"

"Of course I know, but I'm curious, since you guys kept Su Pingting, have her parents never come to visit you?"

Su Hongyang adjusted his breathing. "I bought Su Pingting through a human trafficker and paid a large sum of money. Her parents didn't know where she was, so how could they find her?"

What he said was very normal. It was indeed possible to spend a large sum of money to buy a child back home.

"Don't say nonsense again in the future." Su Hongyang taught him a lesson.

Yu Jiahe pursed his lips and said, "If the Marquis insists that I go back, I really don't know what I will say. Please don't be angry."

In the end, Su Hongyang was so angry at Yu Jiahe that he just shook his sleeves and left.

"Miss, why are you doing this? If you go back to the Marquis' Mansion, your life will definitely not be worse than before." The prefect stood behind Yu Jiahe without her knowing.

"If you like it, you can become a lady in a marquis's mansion." Yu Jiahe said.

The prefect also felt the marquis's feeling of being humiliated, and ordered Yu Jiahe to be taken away.

"Wait a moment." Yu Jiahe stopped the prefect, "I want to take a bath."

She really couldn't bear it any longer.

The prefect had never seen a prisoner so arrogant before. He even asked for bath water with such confidence.

How could he not give it to her? How could he know her final fortune until the very last moment?

The prefect called two maids and asked them to take Yu Jiahe downstairs to wash.

Yu Jiahe felt a little regretful. If she had known this would happen, she would have taken a shower earlier. Why would she have been smelly for so many days?

Yu Jiahe continued to sit in the cell, yawning several times but trying hard not to fall asleep.

The candlelight flickered, and Eleven appeared quietly at the prison door.

Yu Jiahe stood up. She knew he would come.

"are you OK?"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

"I got news about that little girl. Her parents sold her to another boy who died young as a child bride."

Yu Jiahe thought of the small corpse on the stage.

"How can they take human life so lightly? A little girl was harmed by them like this."

Eleven lowered his head, not knowing how to answer. After all, the education he received before did not regard common people as human beings. In the eyes of the upper class, only their own life was the real life.

"There is a letter under the dressing box on my desk. You give it to Su Pingting." Yu Jiahe didn't know whether her choice was right or not, but she also had the right to know the truth. If she hadn't accidentally worn her clothes and left the Marquis' Mansion, she might not have known about this.

Eleven nodded to show that he understood.

It seemed that the Marquis wanted to give Yu Jiahe time to think, so no one came to disturb her.

The sun was about to set. Yu Jiahe could only observe the time outside through the small window every day. Her palms were bruised and purple from being scratched by her. She didn't like staying alone in a small space as it reminded her of the time when she was put in solitary confinement in her previous life.

She had always pretended to be very calm, knowing that she would eventually get out, but it was inevitable that she would feel sad sometimes, especially at sunset, which always made her feel a little sad.

"The person you want to see stays inside." A voice came over and Yu Jiahe raised his head.
