Chapter 92 Sikong Mansion Dungeon
Hua Mian was escorted by two attendants to a gloomy-looking yard in the backyard, just like what often appears in TV dramas.
Almost every wealthy family has a dungeon, and Sikong Mansion is no exception. The entire cell is made of thick stone slabs, and there is no light source except for the candlelight coming from outside the cell door.
The difference was that the room where Hua Mian was imprisoned looked quite tidy, and the sleeping area was not even a pile of grass but a wooden bed covered with a thin quilt.
"Where's the room?"
Hua Mian sat down by the bed and began to recall the strange points in this incident, from the first time Butler Xu recommended her to be in charge of the birthday banquet, to Xiaocui meeting Hongxiu outside the maid's courtyard a few days ago, and to the meeting in front of the hall just now
Their attitudes...
"It was their plan from the beginning? They wanted to cause trouble for me at the birthday banquet, but I even used chili oil to dig a hole for myself and provide them with a road? Master Yang obviously told me and was reluctant to deal with it.
The chili oil ended up harming myself.”
I was toying with the idea of bringing 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 the daughter of the second wife. What's more, she is at the border now and can't take care of the family's affairs." Sikong Yu stood in front of the cell.
Hua Mian was a little surprised, "Miss Six, why are you here? Isn't this a dungeon?"
Hearing Hua Mian say such nonsense, Sikong Yu was a little amused, "Are you scared out of your wits?"
"This is where my family wants to go, and no one will stop me. I was also a naughty kid, and I often played in places like the prison cell."
"I just came to see you. You are capable and should not be buried here."
"But this time I was indeed wrong. I was too self-righteous and thought that as long as I didn't use it, there would be no problem even if I left the chili oil."
"You said the original material of that bottle of chili oil came from Xiyao?"
"Yes, Manager Wu told me that the caravan accidentally obtained it in Xiyao"
"Are you sure the peppers are edible?"
"Definitely! Food treated with chili peppers will have a special aroma, especially when paired with the meat that Xi Yao people like, it can be the icing on the cake..."
"Would you like to continue cooking with that seasoning if you had the chance?"
"If possible, there are many things I would like to try, but I'm afraid there is no chance now."
I heard from the guard in the cell that he was probably going to be sent to the church. He didn't know where he would be sent to do hard labor at that time, and he was afraid that he would never have the opportunity to be exposed to it again.
Seeing Hua Mian's desperate look, Sikong Yu seemed to have made up his mind, took two steps forward, grabbed the railing of the cell, "You stay here for a few days, and we will find a solution."
Hua Mian sniffed twice and was about to say some words of thanks when her stomach heard a familiar growl. It seemed that she really would not be affected no matter what situation she faced.
The atmosphere became awkward because of the sound of Hua Mian's stomach. Sikong Yu smiled bitterly and said, "It seems your situation is better than I thought, Li'er."
Li'er stuffed a dark cloth bag from the railing of the cell door, "Eat it, Yang Gu asked us to bring snacks. The recipe was written by you to the maid and kitchen sister Liu. I really can't tell you only brought a few.
Yue can actually make that Yang Gu be so attracted to her."
Taking the cloth bag, Hua Mian did not open it immediately. After hearing that it was Yang Gu who asked them to bring snacks, a feeling of guilt rolled in her heart. Why couldn't she listen to Yang Gu? It was obviously her own words and let him believe her.
