In the dream, Liu Jiru clearly saw how Liu Yingnan was exposed by the Princess.
He murmured, shaking his head, "How could this be? This isn’t like how sister usually is in front of ..."
Liu Jiru turned around, just about to ask the Goddess if this was true.
Unexpectedly, he fell off the bed with a thud.
Awake.
The doors and windows were tightly closed; everything just now was his dream.
Liu Jiru panted heavily, cold sweat covering his forehead.
He closed his eyes for a mont.
Did the Goddess really manifest in his dream just now?
So, was what he saw real?
The next day.
Still not giving up, Liu Jiru used the Liu Family connections, sneaking to the prison without his parents knowing.
He offered all his saved pocket money to reward and appease the prison guard, asking for leniency.
"You can only have the ti of half a stick of incense, not too long!" the guard accepted the money and warned fiercely.
Liu Jiru nodded quickly.
The guard led him to the outermost cell.
His sister Liu Yingnan was resting on a pile of withered straw.
"Sister!" Liu Jiru called out hurriedly.
Liu Yingnan opened her eyes, "Ru?!"
She didn’t expect that this seemingly useless younger brother would be the first from the family to visit her.
Liu Yingnan, overjoyed, rushed to the front of the cell, "Did Father and Mother send you to save ?"
"Can they get out, did Father plead with the Emperor and the Princess for ?"
Liu Jiru shook his head with a pale face, "No, I ca to see you myself, they don’t know."
The joy on Liu Yingnan’s face vanished, turning to a stunned expression.
She collapsed to the ground, muttering, "Could it be that I won’t get out?"
"Ru! Ru, you have to save , yesterday I heard the guards chatting here, they said I might be sentenced to execution!"
"I don’t want to be beheaded, I don’t want to die, I’m innocent! Ru, please, ask Mother to help, surely they’ll have a way to get out."
Liu Jiru looked at Liu Yingnan, the familiar face, yet why did he feel a trace of unfamiliarity?
His delicate brows showed a hint of complicated emotion.
"Sister, are you really innocent? But, I heard many people saw you with powder in your hands, ready to deceive."
Liu Yingnan imdiately refuted with a fierce expression, "They’re all liars! They’re in cahoots with the Princess!"
After saying that, the foremost prison guard glanced over at them.
Liu Yingnan, afraid they might hear her slander the Princess, quickly lowered her voice.
"Ru, don’t you know what kind of person sister is? I don’t even fight with people usually, let alone deceive in public."
"Then..." Liu Jiru hesitated, "Didn’t you learn from the Kunshan Goddess? Can she co to rescue you?"
After all, immortals are mighty, possessing divine powers.
Liu Yingnan instinctively wanted to refuse.
Suddenly!
Her eyes lit up, as if she thought of sothing.
"Ru, you’re right, I should ask Master for help, so those who slandered will face the consequences!"
She quickly turned around, searching back and forth through the pile of straw.
Finally, Liu Yingnan handed Liu Jiru an earring she had secretly hidden away.
"Ru, take this to Shoude Village in the suburb, find an old lady nad Third Old Lady, give her the earring, and ask her to save ."
Liu Jiru was surprised, "This Third Old Lady... is she the Kunshan Goddess?"
Liu Yingnan nodded, pretending to be profound.
"Ru, my master never shows off, if I weren’t in danger this ti, you wouldn’t even have the chance to see her, rember to keep it a secret for sister, and bring Third Old Lady over early."
Just then, the guard ca to urge them, and Liu Jiru gripped the earring, leaving half-skeptical and half-doubtful.
