Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The jailer went to bring another bucket over. Although the young ladies of the Shu family looked like they wanted to throw up, they had almost gotten used to it.
Instead, they looked at Shu Yu gloatingly, wanting to see her make a fool of herself.
After all, on the first day of eating, they all vomited and were whipped by the prison head, saying that they were wasting food.
They wanted to see if Shu Yu, who was eating this kind of food for the first time, could hold back from vomiting.
However, after the jailer distributed bowls to all of them, he left out Shu Yu.
Everyone in the Shu family was puzzled. They thought that since it was Shu Yu’s first time here, the jailer did not count her bowls and chopsticks.
Shu Yu herself did not want to receive the bowl and chopsticks at all, even though she thought she was someone who could endure hardship. However, this was the first time she had seen such a dish, and she really couldn’t swallow it.
She thought that she could still go hungry. At the very least, she would wait until she was mentally prepared.
She didn’t even want to see that bucket of stuff.
Fortunately, the jailer quickly finished distributing them and left with the bucket.
The Shu family members returned to their original seats one after another and sat down. Looking at the food in their eyes, they forced themselves to eat even though they felt very uncomfortable.
Shu Yu let out a sigh of relief. It was good to forget her.
Who knew that after a while, the warden would come over with a food box in his hand and walk toward the innermost cell?
When he arrived, he looked around and pretended to ask, “Who’s Shu Yu?”
Shu Yu looked up. “I am.”
The prison guard hummed and handed over the food box. “Here’s your food.”
Every single one of the Shu family members stopped eating and looked up at Shu Yu…The food box in front of him.
Although the food box did not look very exquisite, it was very clean. There was also a faint fragrance that made their stomachs ache.
The fourth young lady could not help but ask, “Why is her food different from ours?”
The jailer glanced at her and sneered. “If you had someone outside to deliver food to you, you could use some money to pay for it. Your food would also be different.”
The fourth young lady’s eyes widened. “You, you’re saying that someone outside sent this food to her?”
Of course, no one from the Shu family sent them food. With such a big incident happening to the Shu family, those relatives and friends immediately pretended to be pa.s.sersby or even enemies, drawing a clear line with them as if they were afraid of implicating them.
Even the great aunt of the Shu family did not dare to come and see her mother and brother locked up inside.
Besides, there were so many people in the Shu family. Who would have the time to send food to all of them?
The jailer tossed a piece of silver in his hand. “Isn’t that so? Someone outside gave it to me.”
As he spoke, he ignored the fourth young lady and instead said to Shu Yu with a pleasant expression, “Young lady, this meal was sent to you by a couple outside. They asked me to tell you that although they’ve only known each other for three months, it’s fate. They don’t have the fate to acknowledge you as their G.o.ddaughter. Now that something has happened to you, they can’t help you with anything else, and they can’t take care of you on the road to exile. They can only send you a day’s worth of food while you’re still in the Dongan Province so that you can eat well before you leave. Please take care of yourself on the way to the southwest.”
Shu Yu pursed her lips and took the food box. “Please help me thank them, Head of Prison. Also, tell them to take care of themselves and not tire themselves out. I can only repay their kindness in my next life.”
Shu Yu knew that Meng Yunzheng must have prepared this meal.
