Jail Visit (2)

Lu Sheng knew that children should not be brought to a place like this, which was bloody and had a malicious atmosphere.

However, as Lu Jiang and Lu Xin wanted to visit Madam Liu, she could only bring them here.

Lu Sheng turned around and pulled the kids to her side before silently walking forward.

Lu Ran followed them with a tense look.

It was his first time coming to a place like this.

The jailor did not have any expressions at the start, but his eyes immediately brightened when his gaze landed on Lu Sheng.

Although her clothes were plain, they could not conceal her face's beauty.

Her face was smaller than a palm, and her eyes were watery. Her lips were curved into a perpetual smile, and even though she was not smiling right now, they were still curved slightly upward.

Her beautiful face should have made her appear friendly and amiable. However, it instead gave her a very absent and unapproachable look.

"You must be Miss Lu."

Everyone in the government office knew about Lu Sheng's disappearance as the Chu Family had made a report.

The jailor had initially assumed that she would just be an average village girl, so he did not expect her to have such a beautiful face.

When the guards saw Lu Sheng's beauty and how the jailer's attitude toward her drastically changed, they only smiled without saying anything.

However, Lu Ran warily stared at the jailer and briskly walked in front of Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng said, "We want to visit Madam Liu and Lu Ning first before visiting my father."

The sixteen-year-old girl was pretty and her voice was clear; thus, certain thoughts surfaced in the jailer's mind.

Since Lord Chu had no feelings toward this girl, then why not let me have her?

"Let's go, I'll bring you in."

As it was their first time in such a place, Lu Jiang and Lu Xin were a little scared. They gripped Lu Sheng's hand even more strongly.

Madam Liu and Lu Ning were locked up in the same room. They were cowering in a corner, with their heads bowed.

"Mother!"

Lu Xin timidly shouted.

Madam Liu was stunned. When she lifted her head and saw Lu Sheng, her eyes immediately widened. With a twisted expression, she yelled, "Lu Sheng, how dare you come here?"

Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Why won't I dare?"

"If it weren't for you, would I be in this horrible place? Ask them to release us now!"

Lu Ning looked like she had lost her mind as she blankly squatted at the side.

On the other hand, Madam Liu was still indignant.

"Sir, what punishment will Madam Liu get?" Lu Ran asked the jailer.

"Who are you?" The jailer narrowed his eyes.

"I'm Lu Ran."

"Oh, so you are Miss Lu's brother." The jailer disdainfully glanced at Madam Liu and scoffed. "Since she intended to harm her daughter, she should be sent to jail for three years. However, she's also guilty of murder, so she would probably be sentenced to death."

"Sentenced to death?" Lu Ran frowned. "What about Lu Dahua?"

"Him?" The jailer said, "As he turned himself in and confessed everything, he's deemed to have learned his mistake. Hence, he's only sentenced to twenty years in prison."

Lu Ran did not know how he was feeling now. He felt a sense of relief and also a hatred toward Lu Dahua.

"Mother!"

Lu Xin wept and called her name again.

Madam Liu glared at her and scolded, "You brat. What can you do other than crying? Think of a way to make them release me now!"

Lu Xin was so terrified by Madam Liu's fierce expression that she immediately burst into tears.

Lu Jiang gritted his teeth, held Lu Xin's hand, and turned away.

Lu Sheng glanced at him, but remained silent.

After that, the four of them went to visit Lu Dahua.

Lu Dahua looked too disheveled as if he had aged a lot in just a day.

When he saw them, he didn't say anything and only cried while lowering his head.
