Watching Bai Suihe being taken away by Nanny Wu, Xu Yulan immediately began to complain, "Aunt, look at her, she doesn’t regard you at all."

"No wonder she comes from a merchant family, no manners whatsoever." Xu Huizhen was now helpless, having even suffered injuries, didn’t dare to stir trouble again.

"Even if she doesn’t care about us, she could at least take you away, Aunt. I think she genuinely wants you to suffer more hardships," Xu Yulan fanned the flames, "The Bai Family is so wealthy yet acts so miserly."

Clearly, they could have a better life; it’s simply outrageous.

While the aunt and niece were there cursing, the jailer appeared again in the cell, holding several blankets, "These are for you, prepared by your filial third daughter-in-law."

"If she were truly filial, she wouldn’t let us stay here," Xu Yulan sneered.

"You don’t expect me to let anyone out, do you? I don’t have that much courage or authority," the jailer was most annoyed by those who are indiscreet with their words, "I just transferred her to a different cell, made it a bit more comfortable."

Moreover, you’re a family, and she’s pregnant; you’re being quite heartless here."

Though greedy, he still had a bit of humanity, looking at these typically glamorous ladies, was what they did humane at all?

Well, if they weren’t so ruthless, how would they end up in this predicament?

"The blankets were requested by Ms. Bai for you, do you want them or should I take them away?"

"Yes, we want them," Liu Yun rushed over, considering the upcoming exile, they couldn’t let the children be frozen, otherwise the days ahead would be tougher.

Xu Huizhen hurriedly nodded, "We want them."

Then, she used her uninjured hand to grab a blanket.

When touching the dry hard cotton core, Xu Huizhen hesitated, "Is this the blanket?"

"You’re being picky now? If you want the blankets, take them."

"Yes, we want them," Liu Yun quickly grabbed two blankets.

People were scrambling for these essentials, even Xu Huizhen, who was previously disdainful, hurriedly hugged the blankets.

Xu Yulan dared not say much; her mouth was still muttering something?

"Just some brats," the jailer snorted coldly and left, the Bai Family being generous today made his efforts worthwhile.

Bai Suihe hadn’t expected to find such a place in the jail; though it only had a bed, a table, with a brazier burning in the middle and a screen in front.

"Miss, you’ve really suffered, the old servant brought some meals for you, please eat something first, Master will come over in a while."

Bai Suihe, "Mother has such connections?"

She recalled the book stating Mrs. Bai only managed to make connections and come in the second day.

"These were all arranged in advance by Master, who specifically told me to come at night." Wu Qingshui placed the lunch box on the table, took out dishes that were still steaming.

While they talked, the jailer had already brought Gu Kaiyuan over, closing the door with a polite remark, "If you need anything, just ask."

Bai Suihe looked at Gu Kaiyuan, "When did you arrange this?" She hadn’t heard him mention it before.

"You’re pregnant, so I need to make all sorts of preparations," Gu Kaiyuan then bowed to Wu Qingshui, "Thank you, Nanny."

"Where is this coming from, Master? It’s my duty." Wu Qingshui set the table with chopsticks and stood by to serve.

They were curious about the Master’s capabilities and methods, wondering why he didn’t help the Gu Mansion avoid this disaster before.

Before, they thought the young couple was overthinking, but now they don’t think so, even finding this Gu Family’s third young master quite profound; they were mistaken before.

"While the dishes are still hot, Master and Miss, quickly eat while it’s warm." Nanny Wu helped them set up the tableware, standing by to attend.

"Nanny, please join us for a bite." Bai Suihe invited.

"Miss, you don’t need to mind me; I ate before coming over." Wu Qingshui arranged the dishes for Bai Suihe and went to tidy the bed.

The bedding was brought by her, the environment just a little shabbier.

"How are things on your side? Are they all together?"

"Father and elder brother are together, while I am with second brother."

"Did they say anything when you came over?"

"Did mother make things difficult for you?" Gu Kaiyuan immediately knew the cause.

"They said some sarcastic words, and mother got whipped for it." Bai Suihe also thought scholars were fond of keeping face and wouldn’t make a big scene.

"However, Nanny Wu also sent some blankets over, at least they won’t freeze tonight, though they might be hungry."

Gu Kaiyuan knew the family’s temperament, "Then ignore them, they just have too much energy."

The other two said no more, after Nanny Wu finished arranging and left, Gu Kaiyuan explained carefully.

"I figured this disaster couldn’t be avoided, so it would surely occur in the usual place.

In these days outside, I tried to make contacts with officials and jailers here, and notified mother-in-law of this relationship in advance, timely use it today."

"You’ve been thoughtful, actually just two days here, we can endure," Bai Suihe felt touched by his care, "Thank you."

"We’re husband and wife, let’s not say this in the future.

Whoever suffers, I can’t let you and the baby suffer.

By the way, did the baby talk to you today?"

Bai Suihe shook her head, perhaps because the fetus needs to grow, the baby only wakes up occasionally.

"In the coming days, we must protect her well."

Gu Kaiyuan nodded earnestly, making a promise, "Even if it costs my life, I will ensure your safety."

Bai Suihe rolled her eyes, "Relax, you’ll definitely live a long life." After all, he was a major villain, if not for the heroine’s tricks, he might not be defeated.

"I’ll take your auspicious words, do you want to go in to wash up? I’ll help cover for you." Gu Kaiyuan knew his wife preferred cleanliness.

Given the chance, Bai Suihe certainly wished to treat herself better, making use of the blanket’s cover, she quickly slipped into the space.

Comfortably refreshed, she returned to the cell and sent Gu Kaiyuan inside.

She had taught everything about the utilization of items inside before.

Though the environment wasn’t great, the two slept soundly this night, feeling a sense of relief settling.

Bai Mansion

Mrs. Bai, waiting for Nanny Wu to return, hastily asked,

"How’d it go? Everything arranged?"

"Reporting to Madam, everything’s arranged, Miss and Master haven’t suffered, by now they’ve likely gone to rest!"

"What sin has been committed? Look at the marriage her father chose?" Mrs. Bai had resentment towards Mr. Bai.
