475 Baddies Deserved to Be Punished
They arrived at the prison.
Some prisoners were grabbing the bars in a daze and looking at Gu Nuo’er with empty eyes.
The child blinked curiously. Unexpectedly, the prisoners suddenly laughed maniacally.
They looked crazy and didn’t seem like ordinary people at all.
Gu Nuo’er cowered in Ye Siming’s arms.
He pressed his hand on the child’s head and comforted her in a soft voice, “Don’t look if you’re afraid.”
The head constable knocked on the bars with a rod. “Behave yourselves and don’t make a fuss!”
They walked to the last cell and finally saw Lord Xie and Xie Liuhua, who were in a sorry state.
Xie Xingli was originally sitting on a hay pile with a defeated and regretful expression.
However, the head constable opened the cell door and shouted, “Lord Xie, someone is here to bail you. After you go out, don’t cause trouble again!”
When Xie Xingli heard this, he quickly looked up.
Other than Gu Nuo’er and the others, his gaze landed on Xie Yinxiang.
“Daughter!” Xie Xingli was agitated and tears welled up in his eyes. “You’ve finally come to save Father.”
Xie Yinxiang had mixed feelings. She saw that Xie Xingli’s clothes were stained with mud, and even a few strands of hay had gotten stuck in his hair.
Her red lips moved and she didn’t know what to say.
However, Gu Nuo’er said fiercely in Ye Siming’s arms, “Uncle Xie, you’ve made a huge mistake this time!
“Elder Sister Yinxiang was chased out by your wife and youngest daughter and didn’t have a place to stay. We found an inn for her to stay in. Unexpectedly, they tried to push the blame on the situation!
“Hmph, as a father, it’s one thing if you don’t believe in your daughter, but you’re even biased! Baby Nuo feels so angry just thinking about it!”
Xie Xingli quickly explained, “This subject was muddle-headed. This subject deserves to die. Princess, please punish me!”
Gu Nuo’er pouted. “I originally wanted to punish you. When you first entered Xiangsizhu, you even said that you were the father of the girl in the room. You have to know that I was the one in the room back then!
“If I tell Father about this, Uncle Xie, you won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow!”
Xie Xingli was shocked and quickly knelt down, trembling. “Have mercy, Princess!”
Gu Nuo’er’s eyelashes swept over, and her big eyes flickered with light and intelligence.
“Don’t be too sad. Elder Sister Yinxiang has already pleaded for mercy for you. For her sake, I won’t tell Father.
“However, because of your negligence, you caused the case file to be destroyed. I won’t be able to interfere with this. You should receive the punishment due.”
The child didn’t forget to sigh. “Uncle Xie, you’re already so old, but why are you still making your eldest daughter so worried? For you, Elder Sister Yinxiang has to try so hard to convince me.
“You guys can continue chatting. You can leave after clearing up the misunderstanding. We’ll be going back first. Uncle Xie, don’t be muddle-headed!”
After saying that, Gu Nuo’er winked at Xie Yinxiang with a smart and playful expression.
It just took a word from Ye Siming to have Lord Xie released.
However, Gu Nuo’er had specially made the matter sound serious so that Xie Xingli would remember what Xie Yinxiang had done for him.
He shouldn’t always listen to vile people’s words and be suspicious of Xie Yinxiang every time.
Xie Yinxiang looked at Gu Nuo’er gratefully.
Jiang Xiaoran couldn’t help but say to Xie Xingli, “Lord Xie, I’m not a wild man either. Although I, Jiang Xiaoran, attract women, I’m not a shameless person!
“You have to change your personality of jumping to conclusions from insignificant evidence! Not for anything else, but just because anyone in your residence can bully Eldest Young Miss Xie. If you still don’t stand up for her, will she still be able to live on?”
Even though he was being taught a lesson by a junior, Xie Xingli didn’t dare to retort and only nodded in agreement.
Ye Siming carried Gu Nuo’er and was about to leave when Xie Liuhua hurriedly ran to the bars. “Princess, if you’ve let my father go, then can I go out too?!”
“You?” Gu Nuo’er looked back with a sweet smile and bright eyes. “You can stay here. You won’t be able to leave until you’re kept behind bars for ten days.”
Baddies deserved to be punished.
