Chapter 2388: Is the County Princess Here to Rescue Us?



In this cell, there were five girls whom Shu Yu had seen before, but she couldn't remember their faces clearly.


The only one she recognized was Kang Shuxian, whom she had briefly met on the road.


After being entangled in the black market disputes twice, the five girls were all overwhelmed. They huddled in a corner, not making a sound, reminiscent of their numb expressions when trapped in Changjin Prefecture's black market.


They had thought they had escaped their dire situation, but unexpectedly, they had been pulled into another quagmire without their knowledge.


Shu Yu let out a silent sigh as she scrutinized the girls for a while before finally recognizing the one who seemed unresponsive. "Kang Shuxian?"


The girl didn't move, whether she hadn't heard or didn't want to hear was unclear.


The other girls remained motionless, as if external sounds were not welcome to them.


Shu Yu called again, and Kang Shuxian finally turned her head slowly.


Her eyes were swollen, and she squinted to see who was at the door.


The next moment, she hurriedly stood up but ended up sitting back down heavily.


Fortunately, one of the girls beside her helped her up.


Kang Shuxian couldn't care less at this moment. Tears streamed down her swollen eyes as she stumbled to the door, clutching the door frame tightly, and cried, "County Princess, County Princess, you've come. We're innocent. We really didn't know anything, didn't do anything. County Princess..."


Her words were filled with despair. This girl was still young, the youngest among all the girls, having just come of age last year and being only sixteen this year.


"Don't worry; I know you're innocent."


As soon as Kang Shuxian heard this, she couldn't help but smile through her tears.


For her, Shu Yu was their savior. She had saved them once before, and now she had come to their rescue again.


The other girls in the cell heard Kang Shuxian's voice and couldn't believe it for a moment. It took them a while to turn their heads and look over.


Upon seeing that it was indeed Shu Yu, they came over one by one, either supporting each other or stumbling to the door. "County Princess."


"County Princess, we were deceived by He Fang. We didn't know she was involved in the black market."


"We've told them everything we know, without any concealment. We can swear to it."


This time, the interrogations were much stricter than the previous ones at Changjin Prefecture.


These girls had been arrested and thrown into the dungeon since the incident, and it had been more than two months.


Their cheeks were sunken, and they had lost all their vitality.


Shu Yu sighed, "I know you're innocent. Don't worry; the interrogations are over. I've come to take you out."


The girls, who had been desperately trying to defend themselves, suddenly fell silent at these words.


They stared at Shu Yu in astonishment, while Kang Shuxian was the first to react. She cried and laughed again, asking, "Can we really leave now?"


"Yes."


Shu Yu signaled to the official by her side, and seeing that the girls' emotions had stabilized, he opened the cell door. "Come out."


Kang Shuxian and the others were still dazed, feeling like it was unreal, as they stepped out of the cell.


It wasn't until they stood outside without any barriers between them and Shu Yu, facing her directly, that they exchanged surprised glances.


"We're out, we really made it out."


Seeing the messy state of their clothes, Shu Yu said, "Let's go. Save any questions for when we're outside."


As Shu Yu turned to leave, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears, "County Princess, County Princess, I'm also innocent. Please take me out."
