Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Why Don’t You Go to Jail

Peeking out from the door, Ge Guifen was startled to see Lu Youzhen and Lu Youbang coming out of the elevator together.

She hadn’t expected the two of them to come back together.

Ge Guifen ventured, "Did the two of you... happen to meet downstairs?"

Lu Youbang nodded, "Yeah, we just happened to arrive one after the other."

But Ge Guifen was half-convinced.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

That they just happened to meet downstairs?

It wasn’t that they arranged to secretly discuss matters outside, was it?

Ge Guifen, full of suspicion, let them in and couldn’t wait to ask, "What should we do about this situation?"

Ge Guifen first asked Lu Youzhen, "What do you say? Do you really plan to agree to what Lin Jingshen said and push all the blame onto me?"

"Mom, I don’t want to either," Lu Youzhen struggled and bit her lip. "Otherwise, it’ll just be the two of us going to prison."

"We might even end up in the same prison," Lu Youzhen continued. "Even if we are not in the same room, we should still be able to see each other sometimes."

"I could also stay in prison with you for a few years," Lu Youzhen added. "Although even so, your sentence won’t be reduced. My being in prison won’t reduce your time at all."

"But if I go to prison with you, if it makes you feel more secure, I am willing," Lu Youzhen said. "After all, you are my mom."

Listening to Lu Youzhen’s words, Ge Guifen always felt there was a hint of sarcasm.

But she also knew that it really was the best choice for her to take all the blame herself.

There was no need for Lu Youzhen to make any unnecessary sacrifice.

Yet Ge Guifen just couldn’t reconcile it in her heart.

Why should she be the only one to shoulder everything while others got off free?

"Youbang, what do you think?" Ge Guifen pinned her hopes on Lu Youbang.

Because he had just assured her over the phone.

He would definitely stand by her side.

Maybe Lu Youbang could think of a solution that benefited everyone.

It was then Lu Youbang finally said, "Mom, actually I also support the idea of you taking all the blame yourself."

Ge Guifen stepped back in disbelief, shocked and hurt as she looked at Lu Youbang.

She couldn’t believe that Lu Youbang would do this to her.

She always thought of Lu Youbang first, whether it was a matter or a benefit.

Even the little money at home was given to Lu Youbang.

She had even just given Lu Youbang money to buy a house.

And now Lu Youbang intended to send her to prison!

Lu Youbang, with a face full of reluctance yet feeling he had no choice, continued, "Mom, Youzhen is right. Even if she goes to prison with you, she can’t help reduce your sentence. Instead, it would just be dragging another person in, which really isn’t worth it."

"Moreover, if Youzhen is outside, after she marries into the Lin Family and has some money, she can send more money to make your life in prison a bit more comfortable. We’ll also try to find a way to get you out early."

"And, if you behave well inside, your sentence might be reduced. Coupled with our efforts from the outside, you could very likely get out in three to five years."

"But if Youzhen goes in too, the Lin Family certainly won’t continue giving fifty thousand yuan each month," Lu Youbang said. "Who then would send money to make your prison life better?"

"As long as Youzhen is still outside, Mom, you still have hope," Lu Youbang said outright. "To put it bluntly, since prison is inevitable, it’s a choice between suffering or having a slightly comfortable life there."

"Pick one," Lu Youbang said.

Ge Guifen sat on the sofa, utterly devastated.

Her own children were actually planning to send her to prison.

"You... you have no conscience!" Ge Guifen broke down in tears. "You actually intend to send me to prison while you enjoy life outside!"

"Mom, only if we’re outside can you enjoy life inside," Lu Youzhen said. "Otherwise, you’ll only suffer there."

"Brother has already made it very clear, we can still help you from outside. If I go to prison with you, our family will have no income, and you’ll only suffer there."

"And since going to prison is inevitable for you, why not choose a way that could be a bit more comfortable in prison?" Lu Youzhen said.

However, Ge Guifen suddenly reacted and countered, "Why am I the one who has to go to prison?"

"If it has to be pinned on one person, why not directly pin it on Lu Youzhen?" Ge Guifen exclaimed loudly.

She suddenly remembered back in Hexing Village, when Lu Youxi had caught her plotting unsuccessfully, Lu Youzhen could betray her without hesitation.

When Lu Youzhen pushed her out as a scapegoat back then, Ge Guifen was genuinely heartbroken.

But then thinking that Lu Youzhen was her daughter, she couldn’t bring herself to hold a grudge against her.

So she let that matter go not long after and continued to treat Lu Youzhen well.

But now, in order to clear herself, Lu Youzhen was preparing to send her to prison, making Ge Guifen recall the betrayal by Lu Youzhen.

"Since you’re already among those being sued by the Lin Family, you might as well take my place," Ge Guifen, fixing her gaze sharply on Lu Youzhen’s face, said. "I’m getting old. If I go back to prison for ten years, I’ll be nearly seventy when I get out."

"How can you bear to see me worn down and disfigured in prison?" Ge Guifen pleaded with tears in her eyes, playing on their emotions. "In this life, I never thought about blessings."

"I married your father early, but your father was useless, always idle and gluttonous. Whether it was farm work or housework, it was always me doing it. Your father hardly spent even a couple of hours in the fields each day."

"He had no capabilities, and if only he were honest and upright that would still be okay, but he could always stir up trouble, even getting himself thrown into prison, leaving me to care for your grandparents."

Ge Guifen continued, her tears beginning to flow, "Speaking of your grandparents, they were even worse."

"They only knew how to order people around, never showing kindness," Ge Guifen said. "In Hexing Village, I toiled hard under the sun and the wind every day."

"I thought after you all came to Imperial Capital, gaining some abilities, I could finally enjoy some good days with you," Ge Guifen said crying. "But soon after arriving, you actually plan to send me to prison!"

"In this life, I’ve not seen good days, not even slightly relaxed and comfortable days," Ge Guifen said. "If you were filial, you wouldn’t pin the blame on me."

"Youzhen, you’ve taken the money, you might as well go to prison," Ge Guifen said. "You are still young, even if you spend ten years in prison, you’d still be a young person not even thirty yet."

"According to what your brother said, if you perform well in prison and strive for a reduced sentence, you might be able to get out in a few years," Ge Guifen said.
