Chapter 1156 Preferential Treatment
Manbao stuffed a bowl of medicine into his hand, then went to wash the medicine jar and began to boil the medicine that Xiang Mingxue had learned.
She felt Xiang Mingxue's pulse and saw that he showed no signs of waking up, so she took out the needle bag and immersed her consciousness into the system to look at the new acupuncture method that Teacher Mo provided her last night.
She studied it and found that it was still not reliable enough, so she withdrew and continued to use the old method to stab Mingxue.
Before she finished the acupuncture, Bai Shan woke up in a daze. He sat on the kang for a while, and seemed to realize that he was in the sky prison. He turned his head to look at Manbao, did not disturb her, and lifted the quilt to get out of bed.
First, I added charcoal to the stove that was about to go out, and then I carefully used a clean wooden basin to get water to wash my face and rinse my mouth...
Then I poured all the leftovers into another pot and cooked them.
Xiang Chao breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Manbao was completely focused and didn't seem to care about them, he whispered to Bai Shan, "Mr. Bai, is Doctor Zhou going to live in the same cell with us forever?"
Bai Shan was rummaging through the backpack while saying, "Otherwise, who will treat your injuries if she leaves?"
Too.
Xiang Chao swallowed, a little curious, and asked in a low voice, "But, what is your relationship with Doctor Zhou?"
Bai Shan blushed slightly, "We are from the same school."
Xiang Chao said blankly, "This isn't good. How about the Second Young Master and I not using quilts as a cushion, but using straw as a cushion?"
Manbao finished the acupuncture and took the time to ask, "Why is it not good?"
Xiang Chao hadn't expected her to notice him, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Seeing her staring at him curiously, he coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. It's just that I'm sorry to trouble Doctor Zhou to suffer with us. After all, you are in your prime. I'm just worried that if what happened in prison gets out, it will be difficult for you to get married."
Bai Shan frowned, "She sleeps next to me and isn't close to you, so why not talk about being intimate?"
Manbao also took it for granted, "That's right."
Xiang Chao: "...You are not siblings, and you are not young anymore, are you?"
Manbao turned his head and met Baishan's gaze. They looked at each other silently, then turned their heads away with their ears turning red.
Manbao said: "It's not certain whether you can get out alive. You think too much."
"Our Second Young Master said that if you don't think about the future, you'll have immediate worries. How can we wait until something like this happens before we think about it?"
Bai Shan frowned and looked at Xiang Chao, a little wary, "Why do you care so much? Whether they are relatives or not is also our family's business."
Xiang Chao: "Your family?"
Bai Shan nodded affirmatively, "That's right."
Manbao coughed lightly and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay. If I can't get married, then I won't."
Bai Shan turned to look at her, "Who said you can't get married?"
Man Bao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, and you too."
Bai Shan nodded affirmatively and said, "It's only me, no one else."
Xiang Chao: ...
He plopped down on the quilt and stopped talking. Why on earth did he ask these questions?
Seeing that Bai Shan had cooked porridge again, Manbao felt a little disgusted and said, "I don't want to eat it anymore. Let's wait for Grandma Liu to bring us some food."
Bai Shan stirred the boiled porridge and said, "Let's just eat it for now. They may not be able to come in today."
Xiang Chao raised his head again and nodded repeatedly, joining in, "Yes, yes, Doctor Zhou, you don't know what they feed the prisoners in the prison. It's all rotten porridge, worse than what we cook ourselves."
The three of them sighed and ate another bowl of porridge together, then sat aside and stared at Xiang Mingxue in a daze.
Bai Shan asked, "When will he wake up? He has to eat, right?"
Manbao: "I guess I'll wake up at night."
Xiang Chao and Bai Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Manbao checked the time in the system, reached out and pulled out the needle, then covered him with the quilt. He turned around and handed the almost-filled medicine to Bai Shan, "The first time is raw, the second time is familiar. I'll leave the feeding of the medicine to you."
Bai Shan took it silently.
Bai Shan and Man Bao couldn't sleep, not to mention Xiang Chao, so the two of them began to wander around the cell, mainly to clean up the room and separate it into several spaces.
After putting their existing things in order, they gently cleaned the cell and heard the clanging of someone coming from outside.
The two people who were standing and the person who was lying down looked up together, and saw the familiar Minister of Justice from yesterday leading three people in.
Zhou Lijun, who was walking in the middle, rushed directly to the prison door, looked at Manbao through the bars, and was about to cry, "Little aunt——"
The Minister of Justice was most afraid of people crying, so he immediately knocked on the door and said, "Behave yourself! If you make any noise, I'll kick you out immediately."
Zhou Lijun immediately covered his mouth and dared not cry.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice handed the key to a guard at the back and asked him to open the cell door. According to the old rules, everything brought in had to be checked, and no sharp metal objects were allowed in.
This time, the three of them brought a lot of things with them. The Minister of Justice felt a headache when he saw what they brought. He frowned and said, "Although the Shangshu treats you well, it doesn't mean you can treat the cell as your own. If you bring more things in, the cell will be full."
Zhou Lijun immediately smiled apologetically and said, "Don't worry, sir. We will take away some of the things that were delivered yesterday. We also feel that the things delivered yesterday were a bit too much and not practical, so we are exchanging them today. Starting tomorrow, we will only bring food, and we promise not to send too much, only once a day. I hope you will be accommodating."
Before coming here, both the gentleman and Madam Liu reminded me that the person in charge in the prison is the Minister, and he cannot be moved by money, so I must not give him any money.
At this time, they have nothing to give in return, so they just have to humble themselves and repay you in the future.
The Assistant Minister of Justice glanced down at her condescendingly, and thinking of the expression on the master's face when he returned to the ministry after the court meeting today, as well as the three people, the King of Yizhou and his son, who were still detained in the palace, he waved his hand and asked them to send in the inspected items.
He frowned and said, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour to clean up. Don't leave too much stuff in this cell."
Zhou Lijun quickly agreed.
As soon as the others left, Xiang Chang immediately ran to the Xiang brothers lying on the kang, while Daji went to find Bai Shan to report the information received at home today.
Zhou Lijun held Manbao and cried, but she didn't dare cry loudly. "Aunt, your face is bleeding, and you've been in jail. If grandpa and grandma knew, they would be worried to death."
Manbao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't write to my family. I'll be out in a few days. If you send letters home, I'll have to hire someone to deliver them again when I'm out. How much money will that cost? My family will worry for nothing if they find out."
The next update will be around 8pm
