Chapter 92: The Dungeon of Sikong Mansion
Hua Mian was escorted by two attendants to a very gloomy looking courtyard in the backyard, as often seen in TV dramas.
Almost all large families have dungeons, and Sikong Mansion is no exception, and the entire cell is made of heavy stone slabs, with no light except for the candlelight that comes in through the cell door.
The difference is that the room where Hua Mian is being held looks quite tidy, and the sleeping place is not even a lump of grass but a wooden bed covered with a thin quilt.
"I wonder if this is a VIP room in a cell?"
Hua Mian sat down on the edge of the bed and began to recall the strange points in this matter, from the initial Steward Xu recommended her to be in charge of the birthday banquet, to Xiaocui's encounter with Red Sleeves outside the maid's courtyard a few days ago, and then to the attitude of the two of them in front of the hall...
"They planned it from the beginning? Trying to get me in trouble at the birthday party, I ended up digging a hole for myself with chili oil and providing them with a road? Obviously, Master Yang has already told me that the chili oil that I am reluctant to dispose of will end up harming myself."
Playing with the jade pendant given by the fourth lady, "It seems that this jade pendant has no effect at all with the eldest lady"
"Of course"
A voice suddenly sounded outside the cell, "The fourth sister is from the second lady, not to mention that she is now at the border, and she can't take care of the affairs of the family" Sikong Yu stood in front of the prison.
Hua Mian was a little surprised, "Miss Six, why are you here?" Isn't this a dungeon? ”
Hearing Hua Mian say such a clueless sentence, Sikong Yu was a little funny, "Are you scared stupid?" ”
"This is where my family wants to go, no one will stop me, I was a naughty person when I was a child, and I often come to play in places like prison cells."
"I'm just here to see you, you have the ability, you shouldn't be obliterated here"
"But this time I was really wrong, I was too self-righteous, thinking that as long as I didn't use it, even if I left the chili oil, there would be no problem."
"You said that the original ingredient of that bottle of chili oil came from Xiyao?"
"Yes, Steward Wu told me that the caravan got it by accident in Xiyao"
"Are you sure the chili peppers are edible?"
"Definitely! Food treated with chili peppers will have a special aroma, especially when paired with the meat that Xiyao people like, which can be the icing on the cake..."
"Would you like to continue cooking with that spice if you have the chance?"
"There are a lot of things I want to try if I can, but I'm afraid I don't have a chance right now."
I heard the guards in the cell say that I was probably going to be sent to the church, and I didn't know where I would be sent to do hard labor, and I was afraid that I would never have the opportunity to contact these again.
Seeing Hua Mian's desperate look, Sikong Yu seemed to have made up his mind, took two steps forward, and grabbed the railing of the cell, "You stay here for a few days first, and we will find a way"
Hua Mian sniffled twice and was about to say something of thanks, when a familiar cry came from her stomach, and it seemed that she really wouldn't affect it no matter what situation she was facing.
The atmosphere was also embarrassed by the sound of Hua Mian's stomach, Sikong Yu smiled bitterly, "It seems that your situation is better than I imagined, Li'er"
Li'er stuffed a dark cloth bag into the railing of the cell door, "Eat, Yang Gu asked us to bring the dim sum, the recipe is still you wrote to Sister Liu in the maid's kitchen, I really can't see that you have only been here for a few months to make that Yang Gu so attentive." ”
After taking the cloth bag, Hua Mian didn't open it immediately, and after hearing that it was Yang Gu who asked them to bring the snacks, a feeling of guilt rolled in his heart, why couldn't he listen to Yang Gu, obviously he said it to make him believe in himself, but now that he is like this, he must be very disappointed in himself this time.
