a long time, unable to explain clearly. His eyes darted around nervously, and he kept twisting his fingers together, looking like a guilty little wife.Anne was about to blow her top. She marched up t...Lu City Second Prison

Huoming had been up for three days straight, his entire being gaunt and haggard, with dark circles under his eyes threatening to drop to his chest. Yet he still clenched his thigh with all his might, refusing to let himself fall asleep.

Because he was afraid to sleep, for after falling asleep, he would experience hellish torment. He was truly terrified! The feeling of flesh being peeled from his body was too vivid, and the sound of bones cracking and breaking echoed incessantly in his ears. That kind of pain was truly indescribable.

He has also had tantrums, but after the doctor's examination confirmed that he didn't have a single scar on his body, let alone signs of abuse, whenever he cried and made a fuss again, he would be injected with a sedative. While unconscious, he entered endless torment until he woke up, he was still unharmed.

Ho Ming's second personality also disappeared in the endless torment, yet he was never able to escape this punishment for his whole life. It wasn't until the day he turned one hundred that, after falling asleep, he never woke up again, finally finding true release.

But because of his advanced age, he also created a miracle in the second prison. After all, those who had personally sent him to prison that year had already passed away. He managed to live to 100 years old, fulfilling the proverb "A villain lives for ten thousand years." Of course, this is all a later story.

Now, Hao Ming is still trying to avoid the punishment after falling asleep, unaware that it's all in vain. And after he was imprisoned, no one from the Hao family came to visit him.

Ho Tao was also sentenced to prison because he helped destroy evidence. However, he was smart and insisted that he was used by his older brother and did not act out of his own volition. As a result, he received a lighter sentence.

Huo Tao's biological mother dealt with the Huo family's assets at the fastest speed, paid a hefty fine, got Huo Tao out, and then took her son abroad. She didn't want any further involvement with the Huo family; they were all lunatics.

On a bright day, the entire Criminal Investigation Team went to pay their respects to Guo Chang'an. Lian Yi placed a work journal in front of the tombstone. This was found in Huo Ming's basement and is the old captain's case records.

If they had found the notebook back then, they definitely could have caught Huo Ming faster and wouldn't have let him kill another police officer. And Ginger Lulu wouldn't still be in psychological counseling today.

"Master, we caught the murderer, he'll be in prison for life! Don't worry, we'll take good care of your sister-in-law and Jiannan. In your next life, don't reincarnate as a police officer, choose a more relaxed profession."

The ripple spoke in a low voice.

At the moment the ripples rose, the original self also regained control of his body. He looked at his master's photo and his eyes turned red.

The ripples have returned to the Time and Space Administration now. This mission was relatively simple, Ripple harvested a good amount of soul power, but not much merit, after all, she used it to exchange for punishment props.

"Welcome back, this task was completed very successfully, still high marks and positive reviews. This time, what would you like to keep"

The millstone narrowed its phoenix eyes and asked.

"Can you return the merit points I used to exchange for the punishment item"

Ripple asked.

"Well, this is a bit tricky."

"Well then, never mind."

The ripples waved goodbye.

"Then you take a few days to rest, this time I'll find you a simpler task."

The millstone immediately laughed and said.

"Have there been any updates on the cultivation task"

"We don't have it yet, don't worry. I'll let you know as soon as there's news."

"Good."

After ripples gracefully entered a body once more, she found herself lying on a bed. She could hear the voices of a man and a woman beside her. The two were unaware that ripples had awoken, so they spoke without lowering their voices, allowing her to hear every word clearly.

"Mother, Cousin Lian's mother and uncle both passed away recently, which deeply affected her. She even vomited blood just now."

"I've already sent someone to summon a doctor. When the time comes, I'll tell her to prescribe a lower dosage and make several copies of the prescription. That way, you'll have an excuse to stay at the Su residence to care for your cousin. You should know what to do, right"

"Mother, please rest assured. I know what to do. As long as I stay here and take good care of my cousin, make her like me, and marry me, then everything in the Su family will be ours."

"Or perhaps my son is clever, as long as you stay, mother will arrange everything for you. Just prepare yourself to be the head of the Su family."

"Mother"

The man's voice was a bit melodramatic, but you could hear the shyness underneath.

"Be good, now Su Lianyi is your best choice. Wait until you completely have her in your grasp, and you can live any kind of life you want. You won't have to spend your days struggling in the countryside anymore. My son, you are so handsome, you should be living a life of luxury and wealth."

There was a resolute certainty in her voice.

"Mother, rest assured. My cousin has a good impression of me. When she was feeling down and heartbroken, I took the opportunity to propose marriage during her filial piety period. After that, I'll take things slow."

Okay, you take care of your cousin. I'm going to fetch a doctor and also privately advise her. You stay here with Ripples and don't let anyone from the Su family near your cousin.

"I understand."

After that, footsteps echoed out. The other person sat on the edge of the bed, their eyes fixed intently on Ripples lying there.

That scorching gaze was hard to ignore, while Ripples closed her eyes and began to receive the memories of her original form.

Her original name was Su Lianyi, a noblewoman who devoted herself to studying the classics of sages and ignored everything happening outside her window. This world was also one where women were revered.

Here, women are the heads of households and men are responsible for childcare and procreation. This was quite curious to Ripple, as she had previously taken on a mission to help a queen choose her heir, but there, it was still the women who gave birth. This place completely flipped the script.

Su Lianyi's home was in Qingshan County, considered a moderately wealthy household. Both of her parents were very capable, and the family owned thousands of mu of farmland, as well as numerous houses and shops. Therefore, they wholeheartedly supported the original owner's studies and pursuit of fame through examinations.

Yes, all the officials here are women. It's common for women to have three husbands and four attendants. As long as you can afford it, no one will criticize you. Of course, women who hold official positions generally marry only one husband for the sake of their reputation and future development. Only when a husband is incapable will they take on an attendant husband.

The current empress only has one husband and two concubines. The harem is very pure, so the example set from above trickles down, and officials are also more restrained.

Like Su Lianyi, with a promising future and a family with limited financial resources, she was naturally the preferred choice for marriage by many families. However, the original owner was very ambitious and vowed not to prepare for marriage until she passed the imperial examination as a scholar. Her parents also supported her and were worried that after marrying a husband, she would be preoccupied with pleasure and indulgence, so they spread rumors that they would wait until the original owner passed the imperial examination before discussing marriage.

Just before the original owner was about to take the township examination, her parents went out to settle accounts and were robbed and murdered by bandits, both dying. This dealt a great blow to the original owner. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell seriously ill, unable to recover. Her aunt, with her son Wen Zikun, took advantage of the situation and became the spiritual pillar of the original owner.ly behind."Good."Felix waved his hand dismissively at those around him, clearly telling them to get ready.At this time, three lions walked over and said to Lianyi:"Boss, the types and quantities of we...
