The prison guard smiled. “Alright, they paid me for running errands. I can still help with this small favor. “Alright, you can eat now.”
Shu Yu nodded and opened the food box. There were two dishes on the top layer, one red braised pork and one crispy duck leg. On the bottom layer, there was a stir-fried vegetable, a full bowl of rice, and a bowl of soup.
The jailer laughed. “Yo, the food is not bad.”
Shu Yu said softly, “Do you want to use some? This red braised pork is oily and I don’t like it. Besides, I have a small appetite. Take this braised pork and eat it with wine.”
The prison guard acted as if she was very tactful. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I guess you can’t eat such fatty food in this place.”
He took the red braised pork away very impolitely. Before he left, he glanced at the Shu family members in the cell. Seeing that the other party had given him a bowl of meat, it was only natural for him to help.
Therefore, he said to the people inside, “Don’t snatch it for me and don’t play tricks on me. I’ll come over to collect the lunch box later. If I see you bullying her, tsk, don’t eat before you’re exiled. Everyone, don’t eat it.”
The Shu family was furious, but they did not dare to make a sound.
Only then did the prison guard leave, but he did not go far. Although they couldn’t see him in the cell, they could still hear him shouting, “Hey, go get a plate of peanuts and two pots of wine. This red braised pork looks good. Let’s eat it as a dish.”
Hearing the sound so close, the Shu family did not even dare to scold Shu Yu loudly.
They looked at the food in front of Shu Yu and then at the rotten rice in their hands. They almost vomited blood.
Not only this cell, but the womenfolk in the next cell were also frowning, unable to take another bite.
Shu Yu, on the other hand, was very happy. She did not know who made this food, but it tasted very good.
After a long time, a soft voice sounded, “Third Sister, no matter what, Grandmother is old. Although you are not the granddaughter of the Shu family, Grandmother is still your elder in terms of seniority. Isn’t it not good for you to eat alone in front of Grandmother and Mother?”
Shu Yu did not need to turn around to know that the person who spoke was Second Brother.
This Second Miss still wanted to use her to pull in a gang for her at this juncture.
She pretended not to hear her. The Second Young Lady frowned. “Third Younger Sister…”
Shu Yu turned her head and looked at the old lady while biting his chopsticks. Although the old lady was not looking over, her hand that was holding the bowl did not move. Her ears were also tilted to the side. It was obvious that she was listening.
Shu Yu said in a low voice, “But she almost killed me.”
“Grandmother was just angry at that time. You’re fine too. Now that everyone is like this, there’s no point in bickering anymore, right? After today, everyone will be exiled to the southwest. Look at you alone. The journey will probably be very difficult. You have shown filial piety to your grandmother, and your grandmother will naturally protect you. When the time comes, you won’t be alone and won’t even have someone to help you, right?”
The Second Young Lady glanced at the Eldest Young Lady as she spoke. Her meaning was very obvious. If you don’t stick together and find yourself a backer, your hard days will come after you are exiled.
Shu Yu still admired her a little. There was nothing wrong with what she said, and she knew how to attack other people’s weaknesses.
If she was the Shu Yu of the past, she would believe her.
Unfortunately…
Shu Yu took a deep breath. “But she almost killed me.”
