Chapter 231 This is so unlucky
After Shen Wanwan was locked up in the cell, she began to think about finding a suitable opportunity to sneak into the space to find something to fill her stomach.
However, the jailers were guarding her closely, and someone would come to inspect her from time to time. I don't know if they were afraid that something had happened to her or that nothing had happened to her, but they would always glance in her direction when they passed by, as if to confirm whether she was still alive.
Shen Wanwan didn't even have the courage to enter the space. She didn't even dare to secretly take food out of the space to eat. What's more, she couldn't eat it even if she brought it with her. The smell in the cell was really indescribable.
She could only sneak into the space late at night when the jailers were changing shifts and not paying attention, but she couldn't stay there for long. Who knew if the jailers would suddenly come over for inspection?
Pei Wanwan agreed with this and stopped talking nonsense. She quickly told everyone she knew.
Shen Wanwan nodded as she ate. The situation was pretty much as she had guessed.
If something happened to her, Ling Shuang Feiyue and the others would definitely go to Prince Qin's mansion to ask for help first. If the help didn't come, it would prove that Prince Qin was not in the mansion.
After a little thought, she could probably guess that he was going to Hushan Gorge to deal with the matter of Prince Rui raising private soldiers.
Prince Rui, as a royal prince and the biological son of the imperial concubine, actually raised private soldiers. Once this matter was exposed, it would surely shock the court and the public. It would be safer for the King of Qin to deal with it personally.
As for Nangong Xiyu's disappearance, it was sudden and strange.
Either they were coming for her or for the Prince of Pingnan's Palace.
She felt that it was more likely that they were coming for the Prince of Pingnan's Palace. After all, the Prince of Pingnan was a king of a different surname with a fiefdom.
More importantly, he holds military power.
A king of a different surname who has a fiefdom also possesses military power, which is a unique situation in the Nanyao Kingdom. Everyone is wary of him, but everyone also wants to win him over.
Prince Pingnan had also been to the battlefield and was no fool. He must have guessed the twists and turns behind the prince's disappearance, so he simply took advantage of the situation and put her in jail.
Poor her, she once again became the scapegoat in the power struggle, how unlucky!
"Wanwan, it's time for your fellow Beggars to take action."
Pei Wanwan's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she remained silent, waiting for Shen Wanwan's next words.
"The third young lady, who was expelled from the Cheng'en Marquisate, was suspected of kidnapping the young master of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. In a rage, the Pingnan Prince had the young master thrown into the government jail."
Pei Wanwan's face fell, "That's it?"
"if not?"
"Shouldn't we continue with something?"
"No need. It's just right to publicize the facts themselves. This will satisfy the people behind the scenes, the Prince of Pingnan, and us."
"But I've already asked them to spread the word this afternoon. There's a slight discrepancy between what I told you and I'm sure it will spread throughout Shangjing City by tomorrow morning."
Shen Wanwan put down the dumplings in her hand and said, "There's a slight discrepancy. How much is it?"
Pei Wanwan hesitated, but seeing Shen Wanwan's serious expression, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll have them say that the Prince of Pingnan slandered you for arresting the young master, and colluded with the officials to torture you into confessing and put you in jail..."
The further back you go, the quieter the sound becomes.
Shen Wanwan was stunned and looked down at herself. Was she being tortured into confessing?
"You're not going to say that I was beaten to death and only had one breath left, are you?"
Pei Wanwan nodded vigorously, "How did you know?"
"Don't tell me you really let them spread the news like this?"
Pei Wanwan nodded cautiously, not daring to look directly into Shen Wanwan's eyes.
Shen Wanwan suddenly felt that the buns, dumplings, chicken legs, and pork rib soup in her hands no longer had any flavor.
