Chapter 714
In the monotonous prison cell, time seemed to pass exceptionally slowly.
Yun Wan had long known that life in prison wouldn't be easy, but when she actually got in, she realized that she had underestimated the situation.
She could only stare at that small window, using that sliver of daylight to get a rough idea of the time.
Finally, when the outside light turned a dazzling orange, the prison guards arrived pushing carts to deliver the food.
A bowl of soup so thin you can barely see any rice grains, served in a chipped bowl, along with a plate of vegetables and a cornbread bun, makes up a meal.
It's so bad it's impossible to eat.
Yunwan didn't eat.
Having grown accustomed to refined food, I simply couldn't stomach such simple fare.
The jailer didn't tolerate her either; when he came to collect the bowls, he saw that she hadn't touched them and simply took them away.
Then, the cell was not quiet either, with whispers coming from time to time, and later still, the sound of snoring could be heard.
Yun Wan leaned against the wall, lost in thought.
——
The Prince's Palace in Yunnan.
After dinner, Huo Zhao watched Shen Nianchu running wildly in the yard, and the smile on his lips never faded.
Today is truly a good day. Yun Wan has been sent to prison, and there's no way she can escape now. The shadows of her past life have finally been completely dispelled.
Now, she can finally be with her child openly and honestly.
Just then, a cloak, warm with body heat, fell upon her, enveloping her in a faint, cool fragrance.
Huo Zhao's smile deepened as he turned to look at Shen Rang.
"It's getting cold, you should wear more clothes."
Chen Rang said.
Huo Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't feel cold."
It felt like a fire was burning inside her, constantly providing her with warmth.
Shen Rang didn't say anything, but simply took her hand into his palm, and then turned his head with her to look at Shen Nianchu in the courtyard.
Shen Nianchu was currently engrossed in his own world, struggling with the artificial hill in the courtyard with both hands and feet. Two wet nurses stood by, watching him closely without daring to relax for a moment.
After looking at him for a while, Shen Rang suddenly sighed: "If we don't bring him back to the Marquis's mansion soon, I don't think we'll be able to control him anymore."
Huo Zhao chuckled: "Isn't it better to be more lively?"
Shen Rang turned his head to look at her: "You look just like you when you were little."
The one in front of us is even more of a heavyweight.
When he was a child, during the time he stayed at the Chen family's house, he truly experienced how much trouble she could cause.
Shen Rang considered himself to be physically strong, yet he could only run behind Huo Zhao.
As if thinking of something, Shen Rang's eyes flickered slightly: "But you used to climb trees and swim in rivers when you were little, how come your physical strength is not as good as it used to be now that you're older?"
Huo Zhao was slightly taken aback before realizing what he was talking about, and immediately rolled his eyes.
When did this person become like this? Never serious.
Shen Rang chuckled softly twice, then pulled her closer, drawing her into his arms: "How's the wedding dress preparation going?"
"...It's still early."
——
It's said to be a long time, but in reality, it's only three to five months.
In the past few months, all the male members of the Yun and Su families have been beheaded, while the female members have been exiled.
After hearing the news from Le'an, Jixiang said, "Miss, would you like to go and take a look?"
Jixiang knew best how tumultuous the relationship between the two women was. Now that Yunwan had been exiled, it wouldn't hurt for Huo Zhao, as the victor, to go and enjoy the defeat of the loser.
However, Huo Zhao shook his head: "I'm not going, it's bad luck."
Le'an and Jixiang exchanged a glance and said, "Miss, if you miss this opportunity, you won't have another one."
Huo Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Then you two go ahead, and come back and tell me what you think."
The two exchanged another glance, then left in response.
After the two left, Huo Zhao sat alone in the courtyard.
