Chapter 460 But She Almost Killed Me
The jailer chuckled. "Alright, they at least gave me some money for running errands, so I can help with this little favor. Okay, go eat."
Shu Yu hummed in agreement, opened the food box, and saw two dishes on the top layer: one braised pork and one crispy duck leg. The bottom layer contained a stir-fried vegetable dish, a generous portion of rice, and a bowl of soup.
The jailer chuckled, "Hey, the food's pretty good."
Shu Yu said softly, "Brother Jailer, would you like some? This braised pork is too oily, I don't like it. Besides, I have a small appetite, so you can have this braised pork as a snack with your drinks."
The jailer, looking at her as if she knew what was good for her, said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I bet you can't stomach such greasy food here."
He took the braised pork without any ceremony, glancing at the Shu family members in the cell before leaving. Since they had brought him a bowl of meat, it seemed only natural for him to help them out.
So he said to the people inside, "Don't you dare try to take her food or do anything to harm her. I'll be coming over to collect the lunchboxes in a bit. If I see you bullying her, tsk, none of you will eat before you go to exile. Nobody eats."
The Shu family members were indignant, but dared not utter a word.
The jailer then strolled away, but he didn't go far. Although the jailer couldn't see him, he could still be heard shouting, "Hey, go get a plate of peanuts, and two jugs of wine. This braised pork looks good; we can have it as a snack with the wine."
Hearing the sound so close, the Shu family members didn't even dare to raise their voices when scolding Shu Yu.
Looking at the food in front of Shu Yu, and then at the stale rice in their own hands, they almost vomited blood.
Not only the women in the cells here, but also the women in the cells next door, were frowning and unable to eat another bite.
Shu Yu was quite pleased with herself; she didn't know who had cooked the meal, but it tasted excellent.
After a long while, a soft voice was heard, "Third sister, no matter what, Grandmother is old. Although you are not a granddaughter of the Shu family, in terms of seniority, Grandmother is still your elder. Isn't it inappropriate for you to eat alone in front of Grandmother and Mother?"
Shu Yu didn't need to turn around to know that the person speaking was the second brother.
This second daughter is trying to use her to build a gang for herself at this critical juncture.
She pretended not to hear, and the second young lady frowned, "Third sister..."
Shu Yu turned her head, biting her chopsticks, and glanced at the old lady. Sure enough, although the old lady wasn't looking this way, her hand holding the bowl didn't move, and her ear was turned to this side, clearly she was listening.
Shu Yu said in a low voice, "But she almost killed me."
"Grandma was just angry at the time, and you're alright. Now that everyone's in this state, there's no point in arguing anymore, right? After today, everyone will be exiled to the southwest. Look at you, all alone. The journey will probably be very difficult. If you're filial to Grandma, she will naturally protect you. Then you won't be all alone, without anyone to help you, right?"
The second girl glanced at the eldest girl as she spoke, her meaning clear: if you don't band together and find a powerful backer, your hard times will begin after you are exiled.
Shu Yu admired her somewhat; what she said made sense, and she was very good at attacking other people's weaknesses.
If she were the old Shu Yu, she might actually have believed her.
pity……
Shu Yu took a deep breath. "But she really almost killed me."
