My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 229 - 124 Eastern Palace Curse_2

```

These officials from the Eastern Palace, regardless of gender, their end was not very good.

Assistant Minister Zheng was murdered by a conspiracy between his concubine and her lover.

Gu Wenhan’s entire family was eradicated by the Ministry of Justice. Only a daughter survived and she was still in prison.

Mrs. Huang had stolen so much wealth, and although she evaded the court’s pursuit for ten years, she didn’t escape the murderer’s blade.

However, had she been caught by the court for stealing so many treasures from the Eastern Palace, both she and her husband would have hardly escaped the death penalty.

The dossier on thief Zhao Dong had been nullified, and the years taken from his life were added back.

Li Nuo looked at Li Anning and said, "I’m heading back now. I’ll leave the rest to you all."

Li Anning sat behind the desk, nodding slightly.

This case involved the Eastern Palace, which stirred some sorrowful memories for her. Her mood wasn’t very high at the moment, and with a wave of her hand, she said, "You go back..."

After Li Nuo left, she sat in her chair for a while longer, feeling a bit thirsty, and decided to eat an orange. It was only when she reached for the fruit plate that she realized the oranges were gone.

There were clearly three just a moment ago!

Realizing what had happened, her face showed a flash of irritation.

Damn man!

He stole her oranges to feed to Song Jiaren again!

Anning’s chest heaved with anger, and she gulped down a mouthful of tea, wishing she could flog Li Nuo a hundred lashes, but being so irritated by him seemed to have lightened her sorrow slightly...

Li Nuo, with three oranges in his arms, didn’t go home but instead headed to the Ministry of Justice’s prison.

Although he wasn’t yet part of the Ministry of Justice, he was as comfortable there as if it were his own home.

As long as he didn’t openly preside over cases, those supervising officials could do nothing to him.

Unlike the County Magistrate’s Office, the prison of the Ministry of Justice was segregated.

Upon entering the prison, to the left was the male prison, to the right the Female Prison, and straight ahead the Death Prison; they did not interconnect.

The Female Prison, usually quite empty, had become lively again due to the recent capture of several female thieves. Li Nuo arrived at a cell where an old crone with white hair lay on the prison bed.

She had been sentenced to imprisonment and exile, as well as three hundred lashes with the punishment rod.

Considering her age, if she did indeed receive all three hundred lashes at once, it would surely spell death.

Generally, punishment rods did not kill, so after careful consideration, her three hundred lashes were to be administered over ten days, with a slightly lighter hand, yet the pain of flesh and blood could not be avoided.

Hearing a noise outside the cell, the old crone lifted her head to look at him, her face showing anger she bit out, "You traitor!"

To master such top-level Stealing Techniques and then turn to the government, was a disgrace among thieves!

Li Nuo was startled. "You can recognize that?"

The old crone gave a cold laugh and said, "There aren’t many at your age who are still virgins. Even if you change your appearance, you can’t change that fact!"

To become an envoy of the Thief Sect, one indeed had exceptional abilities.

Having no cultivation, yet she could tell at a glance whether he was a virgin, almost foiling the grand scheme he and Li Anning had devised.

Li Nuo was very interested in her skill.

He leaned against the prison bars and asked, "How can you tell I’m a virgin?"

The old crone coldly responded, "That is a secret not to be passed on. I would die before I’d tell you!"

After speaking, she turned her head and fell silent again.

Li Nuo thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "How many more lashes with the punishment rod do you have left?"

The old crone looked up at Li Nuo and blurted out, "What does it...?"

Her voice cut off abruptly, then after a moment’s silence, she fished out a yellowed booklet from under the bed plank and said, "This ’Observation Skill’ is the culmination of my lifetime’s effort. I probably don’t have many years left, and I hope you can find someone worthy to pass it on to, so I can die without regrets..."

Li Nuo had someone open the cell door and took the booklet. "Don’t worry, your effort won’t be lost..."

Moments later, after leaving the Female Prison and passing by a certain cell, Li Nuo paused briefly.

A small figure was curled up in the corner of the cell, while the only bed was occupied by several other female prisoners.

Li Nuo gave a light cough; the figure looked up. When she saw him, she was momentarily startled but then hurried over excitedly, saying, "Young Master, what brings you here!"

Outside, Li Nuo was usually called Young Master.

The only ones who called him Young Master were from the Li Family.

Li Nuo looked at her slightly chapped lips and took an orange from his arms, handing it through the bars, "I was just wandering around, here’s an orange for you..."

Gu Yanran hesitated about whether to accept it, but Li Nuo had already pushed the orange into her hands.

Fruit was impossible to come by in a cell, yet seeing the orange in Gu Yanran’s hands, the female prisoners occupying the bed dared not entertain any thoughts and hurriedly got up, standing fearfully in the corner.

This young girl, able to speak with an outside noble young gentleman, was clearly not someone they could afford to offend.

Thinking of their previous treatment of her, the female prisoners were filled with dread.

After giving an orange to Gu Yanran, Li Nuo then left the cell.

Shortly after, the prison chief of the Female Prison arrived, opened the cell door, looked at the female prisoners hiding in the corner, and said, "You lot, come out, go to the next cell..."

Which cell a prisoner was in was not fixed; when there were fewer inmates, one might have a cell to oneself, but when there were more, they had to share.

The adjacent cell already held a few female prisoners, and a few more would certainly make it crowded.

Gu Yanran gripped the orange given by Li Nuo, about to exit the cell, when the prison chief laughed and said, "Not you, you can continue staying here..."
