Chapter 1329 - 13: Warmth (Part 3)
The prison guard quickly brought another bowl.
Yun Chu divided more than half of the meal for Shen Junshan.
This meal was eaten very peacefully.
Yun Chu didn’t dare to provoke Shen Junshan, trying her best to go along with him.
Shen Junshan, on the other hand, worried Yun Chu would cry. Besides, he was sure he’d be at the Ministry of Justice Prison for a few days, having plenty of chances to settle scores with her.
Take it slow, no rush.
When the Eldest Young Master Shen returned to the mansion, Lady Ji Bei inquired about Shen Junshan’s situation.
The Eldest Young Master Shen replied, "Mother, don’t worry. Second Brother is doing quite well in prison."
Lady Ji Bei glared at him, "Already imprisoned, how well could he be?!"
Third Young Master Shen looked on with curiosity.
His elder brother was never one to speak thoughtlessly.
The Eldest Young Master Shen quickly explained, "I went to deliver food to Second Brother, and he was busy patting the back of a young lady who had choked on pastries."
Lady Ji Bei, "...???"
"Aren’t male and female prisoners supposed to be separated?" Lady Ji Bei asked puzzled.
The Eldest Young Master Shen hadn’t thought that far.
Unless they were family, they’d be separated, that’s the rule.
"Brother, were your eyes playing tricks on you?" Third Young Master Shen asked.
"...."
"I can still distinguish between male and female," the Eldest Young Master Shen said with a black line on his face.
"...."
However, the Eldest Young Master Shen didn’t know much and couldn’t inquire about Yun Chu’s identity.
The Third Young Master Shen said, "Brother, a prison is not like any other place. You need to spend some silver to get information."
"I’ll go deliver food to Brother in the evening."
Hmm.
The Third Young Master Shen used some silver, but the prison guard didn’t accept it, because they genuinely didn’t know who Yun Chu was.
Except that she offended the young lady from the Duke Zhen Mansion and was brought in because of that, but they couldn’t mention it.
"She just committed a minor offense and could be released at any time. Isn’t it because Second Young Master Shen is here that she’s keeping him company?" The prison guard said with an ingratiating smile.
Hmm.
Although the Eldest Young Master Shen couldn’t find out Yun Chu’s identity, he managed to exchange a few words with Shen Junshan.
The Third Young Master Shen confidently came, but couldn’t even get a word in.
When he arrived with the food box, he happened to see Shen Junshan corner Yun Chu, his hand against the wall.
That scene, no matter how you looked at it, seemed like he was about to kiss the girl.
With the principle of not peeping into indecent sights, the Third Young Master Shen handed the food box to the prison guard and turned to leave.
Yun Chu had nowhere to retreat, looking at Shen Junshan with a face full of tension, "Don’t do anything reckless!"
"If you dare to try anything, I’ll bite my tongue and kill myself!"
Shen Junshan looked innocent, "A person’s got three squashes; can’t I even relieve myself?"
Relieve...yourself?
Yun Chu looked down to see a chamber pot placed in the corner next to her.
Yun Chu blushed like a sunset, wishing she could dig a hole to hide.
She pushed Shen Junshan away and turned to leave.
Behind her was Shen Junshan’s wanton laughter, making Yun Chu feel like she wanted to hit her head and die.
She had drunk a lot of tea.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Shen Junshan instruct the prison guard, "Bring a screen."
Yun Chu was overjoyed.
She just liked such considerate people.
She turned her head back and heard rustling sounds coming from inside.
Yun Chu, "...!!!"
"Shameless!"
The two words blurted out, and Yun Chu turned her back, blushing so intensely she could fry an egg on her face.
Shen Junshan’s lips twitched uncontrollably.
He walked over, and Yun Chu heard his footsteps, retreating step by step.
Shen Junshan said, "You peeked at me and then scolded me for being shameless. Isn’t that a bit much?"
"I... weren’t you asking for a screen?" Yun Chu replied, red-faced.
"That was for you."
Shen Junshan suspected that without a screen, she might have planned to hold it in until she suffocated.
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment, her nose tingling, "Thank you."
She didn’t expect to feel warmth even in the Ministry of Justice Prison.
The prison guard brought the screen and kindly brought a quilt as well.
At night, figuring out how to sleep became a big problem.
Previously, Yun Chu was alone in a cell and didn’t have these worries. Now with Shen Junshan present, she had to consider the issue.
Not to mention that the prison bed was very narrow, barely able to sleep two people side by side, even if it were wide enough, she couldn’t sleep on the same bed with Shen Junshan.
She knew she was deeply trapped in the prison, her reputation ruined, but she couldn’t give up entirely.
The prison guard helped make the bed and then left.
At sleeping hour, Shen Junshan lay down directly, while Yun Chu slept leaning on the table.
This table wasn’t here originally; Shen Junshan had asked for it.
Shen Junshan got up from the bed and said, "You sleep on the bed."
Yun Chu looked at him, "Then where will you sleep?"
Shen Junshan glanced around.
Besides the bed, this cell had nowhere else to sleep.
For him to lie on the table all night was out of the question.
He glimpsed at the empty bed in the neighboring cell and said, "I’ll sleep there."
After saying that, he walked over and kicked the railing down with one foot.
Poor prison guard had only repaired the cell in the afternoon, and now it was turned into a single room connecting two cells.
Lying down on the bed, Shen Junshan yawned, "Go to sleep."
