It was just that both sides had the same goal, so Lord Jing was happy to have time to do things in secret.
If he continued to pester him, this shrewd short man would be suspicious. When he turned his attention back to this group of women and discovered that Shu Yu was acting strangely, that would be terrible.
Therefore, Lord Jing took a deep breath and said, “In that case, hurry up and wash your face before leaving.”
Shu Yu frowned. She was naturally not worried about the escorting officer. However, she was afraid that she would run into someone in Jiangyuan County who knew her. Although this was the Dongan Province, the possibility of this happening was very small, but what if?
She looked at Lord Jing, but the latter was being pulled away by the short man.
On the other hand, the official with narrow eyes looked at the group of women.
Shu Yu immediately lowered her head. She almost met the other party’s gaze.
The ladies of the Shu family moved very quickly. The jailer brought water and a handkerchief over. They wiped their faces one by one and walked forward.
Shu Yu was last in line. Looking at the pitch-black bucket, she almost vomited.
At this moment, the short man walked over. “What’s wrong? Do you think the water is dirty? It’s fine. I’ll get you another bucket.”
“No, no need.” Shu Yu replied immediately. She twisted a handkerchief and wiped her face randomly.
The handkerchief was smelly and dirty. Shu Yu only dabbed it lightly, and the dirt on her face was not wiped off at all.
The short man was dissatisfied. “Hey, you didn’t wash it properly. You…”
Lord Jing reminded, “It’s getting late.”
The short man stopped talking, but he looked at Shu Yu and felt that it didn’t matter. So what if she couldn’t wash her face clean? She had just been in prison for a day. Compared to the Shu family’s women who had been in prison for a month, she still had an advantage.
Shu Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief and quickly took a few steps forward.
The fourth girl was not far in front of her and was being shackled. Seeing that she did not wash her face at all, she glared at her fiercely and was taken away.
The jailer came over to put shackles on Shu Yu. As soon as he put them on, Shu Yu felt that something was wrong.
The handcuffs were light and weightless.
The prison guard lowered his head and turned his back to the crowd. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “This handcuff was prepared by Young Master Meng. It’s very light, and you won’t feel tired wearing it. However, the leg cuffs will make a sound when they are dragged on the floor. There is no way to make another light pair. Otherwise, the sound will be wrong and it will bring trouble to the Young Lady. Young Lady, please be patient.”
Shu Yu was surprised. She lowered her head and looked at the handcuffs.
Meng Yunzheng…How much preparation had he made in secret during this period?
After Shu Yu knew that she could not escape the fate of exile, she naturally prepared some things. However, she was mentally prepared to suffer some trifles like eating and sleeping in the prison cell. This kind of grievance was not a big deal, and she did not care. Anyway, it was not long.
However, she did not expect Meng Yunzheng to consider such a small matter.
She gripped the handcuffs tightly and remained silent for a long time.
After putting it on, Shu Yu followed the crowd to the prison door.
Although it was only a day, Shu Yu still felt like he had seen the light of day again when she reappeared at the prison gate.
If she was like this, the other women of the Shu family were even more so. They even felt like they were crying tears of joy.
However, the chains on their hands and feet were like a bucket of cold water that was poured on them, reminding them that even if they got out of the prison, their future was still very bleak.
