Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 089 Do You Plead Guilty?

When Xiuxiu was locked up in the Palace Administration, she was still a little bit unbelievable. There were actually five less gold beads in her hand.

The people in the Shangfu Bureau counted back and forth three or four times in front of her, but no matter how they counted, there were ninety-five.

She tried her best to explain that she didn't steal, but there was no evidence, and Sizhen had no way to do it. After a confrontation, she was still locked up, and at first she was only locked up in the Shangfu Bureau.

Sizhen still believed her a little, saying that it might be left somewhere, and asked people to search the Shangfu Bureau from top to bottom.

Later, a maid reported her, saying that she saw Xiuxiu stealing the gold beads with her own eyes, and she was transferred to the Palace Administration.

The cell of Gongzhengsi was dark and narrow, and it was hard to tell day from night. The fishy smell filled every corner, and the shrill and mournful cries came one after another. Xiuxiu was frightened and cried the day she was locked up. She trembled and begged for mercy, begging people to let her out, but in return, the jailer whipped her at the door of the cell.

Although she was not hit, she was still frightened and turned pale. She dared not speak anymore and shivered in the corner.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps finally sounded in the cell that was almost dead silent. A little light appeared not far away. Xiuxiu excitedly threw herself on the railing, eagerly hoping that the person coming was Xie Yun.

The person who came was indeed an acquaintance, but it was a pity that she was not a savior, but the maid who reported her for stealing the gold beads.

"Lord Sizhen asked me to tell you something. She doesn't want to bother with you. As long as you hand over the gold beads, she won't pursue it."

Although she had been locked up for so long, Xiuxiu hoped to get out from the bottom of her heart, but she knew she couldn't admit such a thing. She shook her head vigorously: "I didn't steal it, you wronged me, I want to see Lord Sizhen, I want to sue you for false accusation!"

The maid's face was a little angry: "Who falsely accused you? The gold beads in your hand are just missing. You didn't take them. Did the gold beads grow wings and fly away? You are still stubborn at this time, why? Do you think someone will come to save you if you hold on like this?"

Xiuxiu was blocked for a while, and she was angry and scared. She obviously had a lot of things to say to refute, but tears fell inexplicably as soon as she came to her mouth.

The disgust on the maid's face became more and more obvious: "Look at you, I don't know what kind of magic potion Xie Yun gave to Master Si Zhen that made her want to take you as her apprentice."

Xiu Xiu was stunned and shocked to the point that she couldn't cry. Si Zhen wanted to take her as his apprentice? How could she not know that Xie Yun had made such a long-term plan for her...

She was very moved for a while, but soon became depressed. Even if she really had that opportunity, what would it matter? Now that she has such a crime, she is finished.

Not to mention continuing to work in the Shangfu Bureau, I'm afraid she won't be able to go in for the rest of her life.

Thinking of her fate at that time, she couldn't help shivering all over. In fear, she grabbed the railing and cried to the outside: "Aunt, save me, I didn't steal, I didn't!"

A hint of pride flashed in the maid's eyes: "Don't shout, save you? Do you think Xie Yun really has that ability? The concubines who were disliked by the emperor had to accept their fate, let alone she is a slave? So many people in the palace don't like her, I think it won't be long before she will come in to accompany you."
