Chapter 109 Stubborn boy
In the silent cell, Chu Nanzhi was sitting on a small narrow bed with her back against the wall, still racking her brains over what Lin Luochu had said, when suddenly there was a "creak" sound, and the cell door opened immediately, and someone stepped in.
Looking intently in the dim light, it was none other than the Master Chief who frowned when he saw her.
Seeing him coming over with a food box in his hand with a friendly face, Chu Nanzhi was surprised, but the master walked up to her quietly and stooped to get the food from the food box, eyes full of soft light He said with a smile: "Miss Chu, the old man has brought you food, you should try it quickly to see if it suits your appetite."
Chu Nanzhi saw that he slowly and generously took out half a roast chicken, a pig's trotter and a piece of steamed corn, and then brought out a bowl of vegetable broth and two steamed buns from the bottom.
She was so frightened that she quickly got up, and flattered to reply: "How dare you bother the master with such a trivial matter?"
Moreover, such a rich meal was prepared, and the food at home on weekdays was not half as good as this.
The master secretary was enthusiastic, and insisted: "Yes, yes, I have treated Mrs. Chu poorly a few days ago, and today I have volunteered to the county magistrate. Let the old man personally deliver meals for the lady in the next three days. Miss Chu, please don't be polite to this old man."
Chu Nanzhi became even more terrified when she heard that, she didn't care about the previous incident, but the little old man kept it in her heart, and quickly persuaded with a smile: "There will inevitably be differences in the process of handling the case, and there are some trivial matters. Don't worry about it. .”
"Miss Chu is magnanimous, it really makes the old man ashamed."
As the chief secretary said, his face became more ashamed, and he eagerly prepared the food for her, looked at it carefully, and suddenly frowned: "Look at this old man's memory, but he forgot to prepare a pot of wine for Mrs. Chu, so I will go now." Get some for the lady."
"No, no, no."
Chu Nanzhi was panicked by his thoughtfulness, and said embarrassingly: "Master, you don't need to be like this. The women are here to reflect on their mistakes in prison, so I don't dare to bother you anymore."
"Although I broke into the royal palace, it was a helpless move in the eyes of the old man. What the county magistrate said today is correct. Madam, you don't have to blame yourself for this."
The director kindly persuaded me.
"Thank you, Master Registrar, for your concern."
Chu Nanzhi knew that he was sincerely arguing for her own injustice, but this matter really had to be handled in this way, otherwise the two princesses would definitely not let it go, and it would be bad to give people an excuse.
After all, Nanhua Temple is indeed a royal palace temple.
After a few words of persuasion, she finally persuaded the master to go away, and refused to let him go to fetch wine for herself, and the food sent was too rich, she couldn't eat so much at all, and ate half a roast chicken and a piece of meat. A root of corn, the whole person is a little bit full.
Just as she was tidying up the small desk, there was another movement outside the door, and the sound of footsteps followed one after another.
Not long after, I saw the jailer leading a group of people over. The moment the cell door opened, several young figures rushed towards her.
"Auntie."
Chu Nanzhi took a closer look and found that they were quadruplets, each of them was teary-eyed, followed by her son-in-law and Lin Jinxiao.
This kind of place is really not for children.
Glaring at Lin Jinxiao angrily, just as he was about to speak, Lin Jinxiao leaned on a cane and sat down beside the wooden bed calmly, and said calmly, "Little treasures want to see you, I can't stop them."
Chu Nanzhi didn't believe his words, the four little guys always obeyed his words, if he refused, the little guys would definitely not dare to come.
Besides, this guy just ran out and jumped out of his leg injury now, and if he suffered some injuries, his hard work for the past month would not have been in vain.
Thinking of this, she looked at Lin Jinxiao's leg injury and glared at him again: "So you came too?"
Lin Jinxiao pretended to be calm, and said stubbornly, "I'm worried that my uncle won't be able to take care of the children."
Beating to death does not speak out what is true in my heart.
For some reason, he has been uneasy since hearing last night that she was going to Nanhua Temple alone. Even though the people from the county government went to Chu's house to report that she was safe, he still couldn't help but come to see it in person to be relieved.
Looking at his stubborn little eyes, Chu Nanzhi didn't want to embarrass him anymore, now that this guy finally has a little bit of human affection for him, there is no need for him to go to death.
Thinking about the fact that he asked someone to invite Nie Laochang to rescue him today, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and smiled slightly: "Thank you for today's matter."
Lin Jinxiao knew what she was referring to, calmly pursed the corners of his lips, and replied softly, "It's good that you come back safe and sound."
The quadruplets looked around the dark prison cell, which was far worse than the environment at home. The second treasure, Lin Ruixi, rubbed her little eyes and began to sob: "Oh, mother, did the county magistrate grandpa make things difficult for you on purpose? , Uncles of the Wei family have already gone back, why did the magistrate grandpa lock up Aniang, I will go to the magistrate grandpa to settle the score."
Dabao Lin Ruiwen wiped away his tears, and directly pulled her up angrily to go outside: "Mother, don't be afraid, we will protect you, we will go home now."
"Don't talk nonsense, it's Aniang who made a mistake and asked for punishment, and it has nothing to do with the county magistrate's grandfather."
Chu Nanzhi dragged a few little guys to sit down at the table, pointed to the unfinished food on the table, and explained: "Grandpa County Magistrate is very good, you can see that he has prepared delicious food, so you don't have to worry, Auntie will be able to go out in two days."
After finishing speaking, she took the uneaten pig's trotters and handed them to Erbao Lin Ruixi, and said gently: "Look, there are still pig's trotters, you can eat them together, obediently follow daddy back, okay?"
Erbao put the pig's trotters back into the bowl with his mouth pursed, and choked up sullenly, "I don't want it, I just want it, Auntie."
The little Sibao Lin Ruijia didn't say anything, but kept clinging to Chu Nanzhi and sobbing silently. She felt that what she had said earlier had hurt her mother. If she hadn't insisted on asking her to read a sister, her mother would have Will not be locked in a dark prison.
Dabao and Sanbao just stared at her blankly, but the tears continued to flow out uncontrollably.
In the eyes of the little ones, when did the woman in front of her suffer such grievances?
Seeing such a situation, Chu Nanzhi also seemed at a loss. She glanced at Lin Jinxiao with some complaints, and then stared at Liu Shuyang. Like a child wiping away tears.
Liu Shuyang wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Chu Nanzhi was dumbfounded by his silly appearance, and couldn't help but reprimanded: "Okay, why are you crying, like a child, it's not like you can't go out, why don't you hurry up and get a few children Take it back with you."
"Sister, you really can't blame me or brother-in-law for this matter."
Liu Shuyang sobbed a few times, and explained bitterly: "These little guys heard that you were imprisoned, and they didn't even listen to what your brother-in-law said, so they ran away with the guards. My brother-in-law and I had no choice but to come here together. You I also know that no one can persuade their tempers."
After hearing this, Chu Nanzhi realized belatedly, the four little guys are probably really attached to her now.
She looked at Lin Jinxiao with some trepidation, but Lin Jinxiao pretended not to see him and turned his face to the little guys and said, "Don't cry, I saw your mother too, and your mother will be back in two days. Go home and wait for her obediently, and stop messing around."
Dabao and Sanbao didn't dare to cry anymore, they wiped away their tears and put them into Chu Nanzhi's arms, but they refused to let go no matter what.
Erbao held Chu Nanzhi's arm tightly and twisted it back and forth, crying and humming unwillingly, and finally cried even harder.
