1791 I Want to See Qiao Nian
Her fingers paused when she saw Guan Yan’s WeChat. Her eyes gradually darkened as she typed a message and sent it over.
[Q: I remember that Ji Ziyin has an underground marketplace in the illegal district?]

At the same time, in the detention center.
At first, Jiang Xianrou could remain calm and wait for Tang Wanru’s good news.
However, three days passed in the blink of an eye, and she was still locked in a small room in the detention center.
This time, He Congming cut a finger on her right hand.
After Jiang Xianrou was sent to the guards, she tried to apply for medical parole, but no one paid attention to her.
She was like an exiled person on an isolated island.
People came and went every day, but other than the policewoman who interrogated her every day, no one paid attention to her.
Finally, on the third night, she could no longer endure the loneliness and exploded in despair.
“I want to see Qiao Nian!”
She slammed the metal door with all her might, making a clanging sound.
Her palm was red from the slap, and blood seeped out of her injured hand.
Jiang Xianrou couldn’t care less. Her eyes were filled with fear and unease as she pounded on the metal door. “I want to see Qiao Nian! Let me out. I want to see Qiao Nian!”
“It’s so late at night. Why are you making so much noise?”
She had made too much noise. The prison guard was woken up by her. He came over impatiently and knocked on the door, signaling her to be quiet.
At this moment, she was on the verge of breaking down and could not listen at all. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with breakdown. She licked her dry lips and looked at the prison guard, then lowered her voice and said anxiously, “I admit there’s something wrong with my medicine.”
Previously, she didn’t admit that there was anything wrong with her medicine at all. She insisted that her medicine was verified by the Pharmacy Association and couldn’t kill anyone.
However, she relented now.
The prison guard was stunned.
However, she admitted that there was a problem with the medicine not because she wanted to take responsibility, but because she wanted to push the blame onto others.
“I admit there’s something wrong with that medicine, but I didn’t write the prescription. I copied Qiao Nian’s prescription. I made it according to her prescription. Even if there’s something wrong with the medicine, it’s not my problem. At most, I just stole it. She’s the one who killed someone!”
She grabbed the railing tightly with both hands and gritted her teeth. “I want to see Qiao Nian!”
The young prison guard came back to his senses and looked at her patiently. “Do you think you can meet anyone just because you want to? You also have to see if they want to see you.”
Jiang Xianrou was about to speak, but the young prison guard did not give him any face and said coldly, “She doesn’t want to see you.”
A heavy sense of despair enveloped her. Refusing to give up, she tugged at the railing and hurriedly said before the guard left, “Then, I want to see my family. I want to apply for a visit!”

The Jiang family had a strong foundation in Beijing.
Even though the news of Jiang Xianrou’s medicine causing a person to die had caused an uproar outside, the He family still showed an attitude of unwillingness to let it go.
However, Old Master Jiang was still around. Jiang Xianrou had caused a huge commotion in the detention center and was clamoring to see her family. The detention center contacted Tang Wanru and Jiang Yao.
Ever since Jiang Zongnan and Old Master Jiang entered the hospital one after another, Jiang Yao had been staying in the hospital to take care of the patients.
He busied himself.
After receiving the call from the detention center, he went home to pick up his mother. Only then did they rush to the detention center.
