Manbao subconsciously looked up at Tao Yi, but her gaze shifted beyond him to a woman leaning against the prison cell door, covered in wounds, staring at the bun in Bai Shan's hand with wide eyes.
Manbao pointed to her and asked, "What did she do?"
Tao Yi turned to look at her, his brow furrowed for a moment before his expression softened, and after a while, he said, "Murdered her husband."
After pausing, he continued, "Her husband had a vicious habit of beating people, and then she poisoned him to death. This is a grave crime; she was sentenced to beheading."
Manbao and Bai Shan were stunned for a moment.
Following her gaze, Bai Shan looked at another paper bag he was holding, then handed it to Manbao, who took it and stepped forward to give it to the woman.
The woman was startled, instinctively holding onto the paper bag and looking up at Manbao.
Manbao smiled at her and turned back to Bai Shan's side.
