Bab 360: Chapter 361: One Arm, One Leg

Yang Chuxia had her reasons for not allowing Ye Zi'an to follow. She knew that once Zi'an had recovered from his leg injury, he would surely strive for a position of merit. In their world, the reputation of a person who pursued merit was of great importance. Therefore, she wanted to protect Zi'an from being directly involved with or handling any matters that could potentially tarnish his reputation.

"Miss, what do you want to talk to me about?" the jailer asked as they turned a corner.

Yang Chuxia didn't answer immediately. Instead, she pulled out a piece of silver weighing one tael and handed it to him. "Mr.Constable, the New Year is just around the corner, take this silver and add some meat to your family's meals," she said.

The saying goes, 'no pay, no gain', and the jailer who regularly worked at the Yamen had heard it often. A tael of silver was quite a lot for him.
