Ye Xiaoxian responded as a heroine usually did in TV shows. She stared at Fang Shanding and said, “Bah! Beg you? Impossible!”


  She added, “You think I don’t know what you want to do to me? Why don’t you piss a puddle on the ground to have a good look at yourself in? You’re old, have children filling your house and you think you’re charming. Look at your eyes sticking together with gunk. I don’t believe you’ve washed your face in five or six days. And your nose, I mean, is that actually a garlic bulb? Your forehead is as narrow as that of a monkey. As for your belly, I suspect it’s bigger than that of a woman who’s seven or eight months pregnant. Looking the way you do, you want to carry on with a hot woman like me?”


  Ye Xiaoxian was full of complaints after several days in prison, and Fang Shanding just came in time to be her punching bag. How could she waste such a rare opportunity?

  Fang Shanding grimaced on hearing her insults. He must have been blind not to realise what a viper she was. He had thought she was a restrained lady who had a temper but was not that fiery. Now it seemed that she was indeed a hot little pepper.

  “Ye Xiaoxian, don’t be so stubborn and ungrateful. Who do you think you are? I tell you, I can easily make you obedient!”


  Looking at the bars between them, she said coldly, “All right, do it!”


  Fang Shanding was allowed in because one of his acquaintances was a jailer there. He told his friend that Ye Xiaoxian was his lover. As long as she agreed, he could then take her to have a bath and have dinner inside the prison. In other words, he couldn’t take her out of the prison.

  But now, Ye Xiaoxian not only disagreed but also cursed Fang Shanding, which made the jailer hesitant to help his friend.

  Fang Shanding was infuriated by Ye Xiaoxian’s attitude.

  All right, you can stay there, but I can also go in to teach you a lesson. This is what you deserve!

  When he was about to ask the jailer to open the door, Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu hurried in. They knew that Fang Shanding was hostile towards Ye Xiaoxian, so when they learned that he was in the prison they had hurried over and found that he wanted to get her out. If they didn’t stop him, he would definitely defile her.

  They wouldn’t have protected Ye Xiaoxian like this in the past, but now that their wives had made up with her, they felt a responsibility to look after this family member. In order to stop Fang Shanding, they had asked all their acquaintances in the government office for help. As a result, they were allowed to visit Ye Xiaoxian, but still, they had to rack their brains for all kinds of reasons to prevent Fang Shanding from doing evil deeds.

  Seeing them, Fang Shanding and his friend didn’t dare act rashly, out of fear of getting themselves into trouble.

  After Fang Shanding left angrily, Ye Xiaoxian looked at Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu with gratitude. She would have been harmed by Fang Shanding if they hadn’t come to help her.

  “Uncles, do you know where Baoshan is?” Ye Xiaoxian asked.

  During these recent days she had been expecting to meet Xiao Baoshan but he hadn’t appeared once. She wondered whether he was trying to save her.

  Xiao Tieshu replied, “He’s been collecting evidence for you. Don’t worry. He’ll save you after he finds something convincing.”


  “Yes, he’s so capable and loyal. I believe he will soon come back.”


  “.……”


  Ye Xiaoxian didn’t answer.

  “I hope so,” she thought.
