Is this a conspiracy by Shen Ruoxi?
In the dim prison cell, Cuicui was in a daze for a while, not believing that Shen Ruoxi would let her go so easily.
Outside, it was eerily silent, as if no one was there.
She tried to move her stiff legs, cautiously groping her way forward.
The door was wide open; she summoned the courage to take that step forward.
True enough, there was no one outside, just the sound of leaves rustling in the wind. She had truly regained her long-lost freedom.
Her fingers tightly clenched together, her mind rapidly working, she quickly made a decision.
She wasn't a fool, and Shen Ruoxi's words weren't entirely without reason.
Old Mrs. Xu might not believe she would keep silent, after all, only the dead can keep secrets forever.
Instead of relying on others' trust, she decided to trust herself and leave the Shen Mansion as soon as possible.
Determined, she quietly sneaked back into Old Mrs. Xu's courtyard and returned to her small room.
