Your Highness, what do you mean by that?
“Warden, look at these two dishes, they’re so dry they don’t even have any broth.”
Not only was there no soup, but you also brought four dry, hard steamed buns. Are you trying to choke us to death?
The jailer realized he had been careless.
These are all difficult people to please; how could he have forgotten about this?
"Your Highness, you see, the prisoners in our jail don't usually get this kind of treatment, so I didn't notice it."
How about this, I'll have someone get you some hot water later, and you can have a bite to eat first, okay?
"Nothing much. Our master was wrongly imprisoned, and this is how you treat him?"
Don't you have any conscience?
"Then what should we do? It wasn't easy for me to go out like this. Your Highness, what do you think..."
Hmph, I'll let it slide this time. I won't be coy. But you'd better bring my husband a nourishing soup tonight.
Oh, right, add some ginseng to the soup.
Our husband was wronged by his "good brother" and his body was covered in wounds from those shallow-minded people. Shouldn't he be given some proper treatment?
Why……
We're being exiled tomorrow, and I need to ask our boss what that dog... no... 'good brother,' what the meaning of the phrase {brotherly love and respect} is...
Chen Meili kept rambling on and on.
The jailer wouldn't listen to anything; all he could think about was ginseng.
What a joke! How much money does ginseng cost? Does he, a prison warden, even dare to dream of it?
That's right, they got five or six thousand taels from the second wife's side.
But the silver collected wasn't all his.
What does this mean? Are you saying we took it from the second wife's family and then gave it back to you?
Are we basically helping you collect rent in disguise?
Is it because the second wife always lives in your residence that you're too embarrassed to ask for help, so you're using our people to solve your problems?
The jailer was lost in his own thoughts, while Shen Yingying talked non-stop for a long time, but she couldn't get a response from the jailer.
So, Shen Yingying glanced at the jailer.
Upon closer inspection...
Hehe, what's wrong? Did you make yourself look silly?
Shen Yingying thought to herself, "This old man can't handle things."
That's all? That's all?
"The jailer, the jailer?..."
Ah... Ah...
Your Highness, what did you say?
"Head jailer, are you feeling sorry for our boss? So you felt the same way just now and wanted to go and make some nourishing soup for him right away?"
Your Highness, you are joking. Ginseng is something that a nobody like me can't afford.
Please don't make fun of me.
"Oh, you can't afford it? Go find your boss."
They took several thousand taels of silver from us. Doesn't this silver feel hot to the touch?
"Your Highness, how about this, you and the Prince can make do with this for lunch."
As for me... it's not easy for me to go out on a business trip even once.
I'll report what you just said to my supervisor later.
As for...
After I finish my report, will my boss even listen to me...?
The younger one, I have no idea.
"Okay, since you've done well, I'll just have lunch with my husband, that's fine too."
Could you bring some hot water later? We can just sip it and make do.
The second wife next door was furious when she heard this.
Listen to this, is this even human language?
We don't even have thick rice porridge here, and you're saying you're just making do with chicken legs? Is there no justice in this world?
So the second wife wanted to start a protest.
"The jailer, the jailer..."
The jailer heard the cell next to him calling him and turned around to look at the soldiers behind him.
"Go check what's that screaming over there?"
