Chapter 1328 - 13: Warmth (Part 2)
Now... did this blossom open in the wrong place?
It’s just that it’s blooming in the wrong place, in the Ministry of Justice dungeon; this means there’s a legal case against someone here.
A girl like this, how could her parents agree to let him marry her?
The prison guard saw him lost in thought and called, "Eldest Young Master Shen?"
Eldest Young Master Shen cleared his throat.
Shen Junshan turned to look at Eldest Young Master Shen, "Big brother, why are you here?"
"To bring you food," Eldest Young Master Shen said.
The prison guard opened the cell door and brought the food Eldest Young Master Shen had brought inside.
Shen Junshan frowned, "Why didn’t you come to take me home?"
Eldest Young Master Shen rubbed his forehead, "Father already knows you hit the Sixth Prince and is angry at your impulsiveness, telling you to find your own way out."
Shen Junshan, "...."
Eldest Young Master Shen glanced at Yun Chu and smiled, "With someone accompanying you, you’re not lonely."
"I won’t disturb your meal, I’ll head back to the mansion first."
Eldest Young Master Shen turned and left.
Shen Junshan felt a headache.
He knew his big brother wasn’t joking with him.
His father really wouldn’t rescue him.
Not only wouldn’t he rescue him, he might even let the Ministry of Justice punish him severely.
Otherwise, it would truly give him the reputation of indulging his son, with the upper beam crooked, the lower beam wavers.
But he wasn’t worried, really, having just saved the Third Prince. If the Third Prince wanted the Jibei Marquis Mansion to help, he would have to plead for him.
He hit the Third Prince’s brother, and with the Third Prince’s protection, it would also save the Emperor’s face.
For now, the more important thing is to fill his stomach.
Shen Junshan opened the food box and took out the dishes.
Three dishes, and a pot of wine.
Shen Junshan picked up the wine jar, pulled off the lid, and the aroma of wine wafted over.
Just as he was about to pour it into his mouth, a hand reached over and snatched the wine jar directly.
Shen Junshan was stunned.
He looked up to see Yun Chu pouring the wine into her mouth.
Shen Junshan snatched the wine jar back and said, "I haven’t even settled the score with you yet, and you dare to steal my wine?!"
He didn’t know that Yun Chu drank wine because she feared he would settle the score with her.
Wine does give courage to the timid.
Having snatched his brocade robe and horse, although more importantly that ten thousand taels, Yun Chu wouldn’t admit she intentionally stole them.
After all, she’d stolen the brocade robe and horse, what was a pot of wine?
The strong wine burning her throat, for someone like Yun Chu who had only drunk fruit wine, was like swallowing a knife, making her cough endlessly.
Her alcohol tolerance was very low; after one cup, although she didn’t collapse, her face turned crimson.
She stared at Shen Junshan, her neck tense, "If you’re going to kill or chop, give me a swift end!"
Shen Junshan had really never seen a girl like Yun Chu before.
Of course, he hadn’t seen many girls, most of them forgotten at a glance.
He circled around Yun Chu with the wine jar, smiling, "Fallen into my hands, and you still want a swift end?"
"If I wanted your life, I’d just watch as the prison head wrung your neck, wouldn’t I?"
In fact, it was he who had saved her from the prison head.
Having received a life-saving favor, Yun Chu’s tense neck relaxed a bit.
Shen Junshan sat down and said, "Come over here and serve me some dishes."
Yun Chu stood still, "I’m not your maid."
"Not a maid, so do you want to be my madam then?" Shen Junshan teased.
Yun Chu’s face turned red, wanting to bite him.
Shen Junshan just looked at her, and what else could Yun Chu do? The cell was only so big, she couldn’t escape even if she tried.
People under the eaves must bow their heads.
Thinking of her mother also in the dungeon, Yun Chu’s nose tingled, her eyes turning red.
This was obviously going to end in tears.
Shen Junshan felt another headache coming on.
Why so easily into tears?
The sky hadn’t even fallen.
Even if it did, wouldn’t there be somebody tall to hold it up?
He was most afraid of people crying.
At the Great Buddha Temple, he could still let her go; here in the Ministry of Justice’s dungeon, was he going to kick open the cell for her to escape?
Yun Chu walked over and served him dishes, and Shen Junshan pulled her to sit beside him, "Forget it, just eat with me."
Yun Chu watched him as Shen Junshan gave her all the rice.
Eldest Young Master Shen had only brought one bowl of rice.
The prison guard, seeing this, quickly brought another pair of chopsticks.
Yun Chu looked warily at Shen Junshan, not knowing what he intended to do.
Shen Junshan hadn’t expected Yun Chu to be so defensive, he said, "Help me test for poison."
The prison guard, "...."
Weren’t these dishes brought by Eldest Young Master Shen?
Could his own brother actually poison his dear younger brother?
If Eldest Young Master Shen heard this, wouldn’t he be enraged to death?
With Second Young Master Shen’s status, did he really need to court a girl so indirectly?
Though this indirectness was quite blatant.
Yun Chu stared at Shen Junshan, and Shen Junshan asked, "Want me to feed you?"
"That’s fine too."
As he spoke, he was about to pick up the bowl.
Yun Chu hurriedly raised the bowl, instructing the prison guard, "Bring another bowl."
Although she was hungry, she couldn’t eat that much rice.
