"My Young Lady is the Fifth Young Lady of the General residence's Shen family." Jing Zhe took a step forward and stuffed the sachet containing the silver anklets into the hands of the head jailer, "One specially came over to take a look at Eldest Young Lady."
Shen Miao took out the token that Shen Qiu gave her from her sleeves and waved it in front of the head jailer. When that person saw it, he quickly bowed respectfully, "So it is Fifth Shen Young Lady." Shen Xin's name was well known in the Ding capital, not to mention the head jailer, even the officials would have to give some face to her.
"I want to go and take a look at Eldest Sister. Trouble Daren to lead the way." Shen Miao said.
That head jailer smiled, "Originally these few days no one is allowed to visit but since Fifth Shen Young Lady has spoken, then follow this lowly one." Finishing, he gave a few instructions to the jailer outside. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu stayed outside and brought Shen Miao in.
Now Shen Qing's identity was very awkward and no one knew if there would be a chance to get rid of her crimes in the future. But even if she really got rid of her crimes, it would be extremely difficult for Shen Qing to live with that kind of reputation.
"Actually Fifth Young Lady need not be too worried." The head jailer smiled, "Even though Eldest Shen Young Lady is still in prison, once the matter comes to light, Eldest Shen Young Lady would not be implicated." He thought that since Shen Miao came to visit Shen Qing, the two sisters should have a very close relationship. No matter what, if Shen Miao was comfortable, it would be considered as selling a favour to Shen Xin.
Shen Miao nodded her head, "Many thanks to Daren's guidance."
When a stone staircase appeared in front, the head jailer stopped and said, "Eldest Shen Young Lady is imprisoned below. Fifth Young Lady go down and talk to her. My subordinates and I will wait outside. Do not speak for too long. "
Shen Miao thanked him again and after the head jailer and the few jailers deliberately avoided her, she then walked down the stairs.
Walking down the long stairs, at the end was a prison cell. There was an iron fence surrounding it and there was only a small fist-sized window in the cell. This was the place where major criminals were locked up. There was a row of torches on the stone wall but the torches were swaying in the gloomy prison cell, making it look somewhat strange.
The cell was covered with straw, and on top of it was a dirty quilt. The quilt was probably infested with lice, and some small black material could be vaguely seen. The person wrapped in the quilt was sitting on the straw with his head buried in his knees. It was unknown whether he was asleep or not.
Shen Miao quietly looked for a long time before walking over and stretched out her hand to knock a few times on the iron fence.
The man who buried his head in his knees jerked his head up, revealing a slightly frightened face. When he saw clearly that it was Shen Miao, his frightened expression turned into anger as he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Shen Miao!"
"It's me." Shen Miao took a step back to avoid Shen Qing pouncing on her and scratching her. Her guess was right. The next moment, Chen Qing pounced on Shen Miao. Her hands reached over the iron fence in an attempt to catch Shen Miao, but she could only wave her arms in vain because of the fence.
"Looks like you still haven't learned your lesson." Shen Miao laughed and looked at her calmly, "Don't waste your energy. It is useless."
Chen Qing hatefully put down her hand and suddenly burst into laughter, "Shen Miao, are you here to demonstrate to me? Are you here to see how miserable I am? Let me tell you, there will be a day when you will be a hundred times more miserable than me! "
"What a pity." Shen Miao looked at her pitifully, "Even if there is such a day, you will not be able to see it."
Shen Qing was surprised for a moment and a trace of fear suddenly appeared in her eyes. She had been locked up in this prison for a few days and even she herself did not know what was going on. She had always been pampered and thought that the night in Wo Long Temple with Prince Yu was the most painful moment in her life. She did not expect that the grievous news that followed was more and more frightening. Pregnancy, returning banquet, marriage and the bloody massacre on the night of marriage. Now she was actually a prisoner. She resisted the uneasiness in her heart and stubbornly said, "Don't think of lying to me. This matter has nothing to do with me at all. Don't tell me that it will implicate me?"
