The jailer's face, already full of fat, suddenly creased into deep wrinkles. He happily took the silver note and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Yes, yes, yes, Miss Chen, we also have a top-tier prison cell here. Please bring it to me."
He introduced the place as he walked.
"Our premium suite is exceptionally well-equipped, with all the necessary tables, chairs, and benches, and a brand-new quilt on the bed."
That's not all. The most important thing is the top-notch service. There will be someone specifically assigned to each prisoner—no, not a prisoner, but a VIP—morning and evening.
A dedicated person will bring VIP guests soapberry water for washing, and all three meals a day will be specially ordered from outside restaurants, containing both vegetables and meat.
It will make everyone who stays there feel completely at home.
As they were talking, Warden Sun stopped in front of a cell. "Miss Chen, we've arrived at the top-tier cell. Are you satisfied with it?"
Chen Qingqing walked into the cell and looked around. It was indeed different from the other cells; the inner and outer compartments were different, and the bedding was brand new.
Although it can't compare to the conditions at home, this place is absolutely like paradise.
She nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, I'll stay here!"
"Alright, Miss Chen, please come in." Warden Sun said with a fawning smile, "The higher-ups specifically instructed to give you special treatment, but I've always been a man of honor. I know you've been wronged, so I'll waive the special treatment. But we still have to put on a show, in case the county magistrate comes by unexpectedly and sees you looking so well-fed, we won't know how to explain it."
Chen Qingqing understood what he meant by "taking care of you." "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
"Miss Chen is truly a woman of great understanding and righteousness." After saying this, Warden Sun waved his hand, and just then, the jailer who had been there earlier approached carrying two sets of prison uniforms in his hands.
"Miss Chen, please have these two outfits changed into by you and your shop assistant."
Chen Qingqing glanced down at her prison uniform, which was covered in bloodstains and whip marks that looked like she had actually been beaten. Just looking at the clothes, one could tell how much abuse she had suffered.
Sun, the jailer, hurriedly explained with a smile, "Miss Chen, this dress looks scary on the outside, but it's all brand new inside. The bloodstains and whip marks on it are fake; they're just dyed with cinnabar to fool the inspectors. You can wear it without worry."
"Can I not wear it?" Chen Qingqing asked tentatively.
The jailer put on a serious face and said, "No, Miss Chen, this is a prison cell after all, and you must wear prison clothes."
“He’s right. Everything else is negotiable, but I advise you to change into these clothes. If someone finds out, you won’t be the only one suffering; we’ll all be implicated. You can’t let us…”
Before Sun, the jailer, could utter the word "difficult," Chen Qingqing tossed him another silver note. He was more excited than if he'd seen his own father, accepting the note with a beaming smile. Then, changing the subject…
"This is no big deal. If Miss Chen doesn't want to wear it, then she doesn't have to. However, if any special circumstances arise, we'll have to trouble Miss Chen to cooperate with our work. After all, this is a prison, not an inn."
Chen Qingqing smiled and nodded, "Then leave the prison uniform here. If there's any emergency, I'll change into it."
"Alright, thank you for your cooperation, Miss Chen. Please go inside and rest. We won't disturb you any longer." After saying this, Warden Sun gestured for the jailer to take Xiao Wu to the cell next door.
Seeing that Xiao Wu looked a little listless, Chen Qingqing quickly called back Sun, the jailer, who had turned to leave. "Wait a minute, get some food for my little waiter."
"Alright, Miss Chen, this is nothing to worry about." After saying that, Warden Sun waved to the jailer next to him, "Hurry up and prepare some delicious mixed flour buns, plus a bowl of cabbage soup."
"Yes, Chief Sun, I'll go right away." The jailer replied and turned to leave.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingqing frowned. "Wait a minute, what do you mean by this? You just said there would be vegetables and meat, how come you changed your mind so quickly?"
Knowing she had misunderstood, Warden Sun quickly explained with a smile, "Miss Chen, don't worry. You're in a deluxe cell, so you'll definitely have wine, meat, and top-quality food. But the cell next door is a completely different level. They can only enjoy the treatment of a high-class cell, so they can only eat cornbread with vegetable soup."
Chen Qingqing was so angry she wanted to slap him. These people were incredibly greedy; they were like bottomless pits that could never be filled.
But she has plenty of money, so there's no need to bother with petty people.
With a thought, another silver note appeared in her hand. "Is this enough for him to have a good meal and wine?"
Sun, the jailer, stared wide-eyed, his heart pounding with excitement.
Oh my god, I've been making so much money today, my hands are sore from collecting it all! This windfall has come so suddenly!
Could it be that our ancestors for eighteen generations have collectively manifested their power?
He had never seen so much money in his life. He was so surprised that his hand holding the banknotes trembled slightly, and he could barely speak.
"That's enough, madam, that's more than enough."
The jailer was so shocked he almost dropped his jaw. This wasn't a human, it was a god of wealth!
The way he looked at Chen Qingqing was like he was looking at a goddess.
The jailer, Sun, stuffed the silver notes into his pocket, then took out a few loose silver coins and ordered the stunned jailer, "Quickly go to the best restaurant and order two servings of top-quality food and wine. Bring them over to our two distinguished guests while they're still hot. You can keep the rest of the money to buy your own drinks!"
"Thank you, Warden Sun. I'll go prepare it right away." The jailer took the money with both hands and scurried out.
The two ate and drank their fill.
Chen Qingqing turned to Xiao Wu next door and asked, "Have you thought this through? Can you tell me the truth now?"
