So Qiao Xiaomai, Tong Sanlang, and Luhe went to town again.
By the time they arrived, the work site was already bustling. Qiao Xiaomai started by inquiring about Zhao Lan, not only questioning the jailers but also casually picking a peasant working and asking them.
Zhao Lan had behaved very well, working diligently throughout the morning and just before their arrival.
Working diligently, that's how a prisoner should look like. Qiao Xiaomai, accompanied by Zhuang Luhe, went to find the Sun Family to watch Sun Family work.
With an added meal that morning and Sun Junyan not requiring her cornbread at noon, the Sun Family had a rare full meal. Now, she had plenty of energy. The ferocious expression, born of fatigue when she was pulling a cart that morning, was gone. She even seemed to have enough leisure to look around.
And it was this looking around that made her notice the three of them.
She hurriedly threw down the rope draped around her and ran towards Qiao Xiaomai.
