CLANG!
The cell door slammed shut, the heavy sound making Ye Heng flinch.
He stiffly raised his head and looked around. As he took in the damp, gloomy cell and the nauseating, musty-sweet stench in the air, the reality of his situation finally hit him.
'A dignified fourth-rank court official like me... thrown in jail just like that!?'
Even now, it still felt like a dream.
He had only gone to the Han Family to warn Han Yao to keep his mouth shut. So... 'How did it come to this!?'
Ye Heng leaned against the cold wall and slowly sank to the floor, his mind a tangled mess.
Su Wei himself had ordered his imprisonment this time. Getting out wouldn't be simple at all.
At the very least, he wasn't going to leave here until the investigation was over.
'But... I never poisoned Han Yao!'
'Could Ye Chutang have framed me? No, she was also called in at the last minute, and Han Yao was already unconscious. The timing doesn't add up.'
