In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 1227 I will protect them!

Seeing the worry on their faces, Su Yueyao smiled and comforted them, "I'm not a mud doll, I'll be fine. I won't feel at ease unless I check on them. You two wait patiently for me to come out, I'll be right back."

"Good wife."

Wenren Shilang stood aside watching the three of them, thinking to himself, "Su Yueyao still dotes on her husband so much. She didn't give up on him just because he had an accident. She even came out to run around for him during her postpartum period."

He was even a little envious of such a relationship.

Unfortunately, she didn't fancy him back then, and he still doesn't know what's wrong with him that made her lose his favor.

Afterwards, Su Yueyao followed Vice Minister Wenren into the prison. At first, the visibility was good, but the further they went in, the weaker the visibility became, with candlelight casting a faint glow on the walls.

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out: "Let me out! Let me out!"

A prisoner rushed to the door, shouting and pulling at Su Yueyao's clothes, startling her. She swayed, and Wenren Shilang immediately steadied her.

Then a jailer appeared, bowed to them and said, "Your Excellency, Your Majesty, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I've frightened you and Your Majesty."

The next second, the jailer's whip lashed out at the prisoner with his outstretched hand.

The prisoner immediately let out a painful groan.

The moment Su Yueyao regained her footing, she immediately broke free of Wenren Shilang's grasp. Just as she was about to thank him, she heard the prisoner's scream, which startled her again.

Wenren Shilang rubbed his fingers together lightly, unable to resist recalling the feeling of holding Su Yueyao's arm just now. The next second, he noticed that the jailer had startled him again and looked at him sharply.

The jailer, who was cracking the whip, felt a chill run down his spine and stopped abruptly. He looked up at the Vice Minister and was startled by the grim look on his face.

"Servant... Lang... Your Excellency... I am a lower official..."

"Get out of here! You've disturbed Grand Tutor Su, and you'll be held responsible."

"Yes, yes... This humble official will take his leave now." After saying this, the jailer stood obediently to the side as if trying to survive, not daring to say a word.

"I'm sorry to have startled you, Grand Tutor Su. It was my fault for not disciplining you properly. I hope you won't be angry."

"I'm fine, let's go!"

Wenren Shilang continued to lead Su Yueyao deeper into the room. The further they went, the more the air was filled with the smell of blood, especially when they reached an interrogation room.

Su Yueyao looked at the person tied to the rack, who had been beaten bloody and mangled by the guards beside her.

The walls were covered with instruments of torture, some of which were still dripping blood. The people on the racks could be heard groaning faintly, and there were dark red bloodstains on the ground.

Such a bloody scene was something Su Yueyao had only ever seen in the dark room that Xingchen had taken her to before. Unable to hold it in any longer, Su Yueyao gagged.

The guards inside, hearing the commotion, saw a female ruler following behind their master and their eyes lit up.

Could this be... their future matriarch?

When Wenren Shilang heard Su Yueyao's movement, he wanted to pat her back gently, but his outstretched hand paused. He was not suited to do such an intimate thing.

"Grand Tutor Su, this is an interrogation room. It smells terrible. Let's hurry! Young Master Xu's cell is still ahead."

"Ugh... ugh..." Su Yueyao gagged several times, her eyes welling up with tears. How could they endure this stench of blood? The thought of Minghe being in such an environment made her feel even worse.

"Ugh... I'm fine."

The guards in the interrogation room watched with curiosity as their master spoke to the queen so gently.

Wow... his family has finally figured it out!

One of the guards, holding a whip, couldn't help but whisper, "Greetings, sir. This lecherous thief is about to confess. This lady is... is..."

Upon hearing his subordinate's words and hearing the excitement in his tone, Vice Minister Wenren immediately interrupted, "This is Grand Tutor Su, who has come to see the imprisoned Young Master Xu on His Majesty's orders."

Upon hearing their master's introduction and glancing at the cold look in her eyes, everyone immediately bowed respectfully to Su Yueyao: "Greetings, Grand Tutor!"

Su Yueyao covered her mouth and waved her hand, "Minister, can we leave? It really doesn't smell good here."

"Alright! Grand Tutor Su, let's go quickly!"

Vice Minister Wenren led Su Yueyao through two more corridors. Su Yueyao saw Xu Minghe in front of a cell and quickly ran over.

"Minghe, Minghe, are you alright?" Su Yueyao looked at Xu Minghe, who looked somewhat haggard, and tears immediately streamed down her face.

Xu Minghe, who was sitting there blankly, initially thought he was hallucinating when he heard Su Yueyao's voice, but when he turned his head, he saw her kneeling in front of his cell door.

"My lady..." Excited, Xu Minghe tried to run over quickly, but he tripped over the anklet and almost fell.

"Minghe..."

“My wife, I’m fine. Why did you come here? The environment here is so bad. You’re still in your postpartum period. How could you come to a place like this?” Xu Minghe said worriedly, holding Su Yueyao’s hand.

Su Yueyao looked at Xu Minghe, who was wearing prison clothes and had some dirt on his face, and felt even more sorry for him. She took out a handkerchief and began to gently wipe his face. When she saw the bloodstains on Xu Minghe's wrist from the bracelet, tears streamed down her face.

"Minghe...you've suffered...does it hurt?"

“My lady, don’t cry, don’t cry! It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt. I used to get much worse injuries from martial arts training. My lady… don’t cry. It’s my fault. I’ve dragged you into this. I didn’t know that the shopkeeper’s embezzled money was counterfeit.”

"It's my fault for being useless and not managing the shop properly." Xu Minghe was anxious to wipe Su Yueyao's face, but when he remembered that his hands were dirty, he turned back and was at a loss for what to do!

He never imagined that his wife would come to a place like this, and this whole incident was caused by his shop, no matter what.

"My lady... I'm really alright, please don't cry, okay?"

"How could you be alright? The environment here is terrible; you might not even be able to get a meal. Look at your wrists and ankles, they're covered in bruises, boohoo..."

“My lady, this is what I deserve. If I had discovered the problem with this shopkeeper earlier, things wouldn’t have come to this.”

“Minghe, someone must have framed you. The shopkeeper reacted very strongly when he found out about the counterfeit money he embezzled, and he refused to admit it.”

"We will find out who is harming you as soon as possible and clear your name. Don't worry about your mother's family, I will protect them! Just stay put and wait for me to rescue you."

"My wife..."

"My lady... Minghe doesn't deserve your kindness!" Xu Minghe said, then knelt down with a thud.

"What are you doing? Does your knee hurt?" Su Yueyao immediately reached out and pulled him through the fence.

Xu Minghe didn't get up. He raised his head and looked at Su Yueyao with tears in his eyes.
