Chapter 4: Visiting the Dungeon
Shu Qing stayed in the dungeon of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment for another seven days.
It's strange to say, the prison guards in the prison have been exceptionally good to her in the past few days, so good that she can't help but secretly wonder if her death is coming, she has heard people say in the past that the severed head meal will always be extraordinarily rich, but now she is not eating oil, only wasting the hearts of the jailers.
In the midst of this worry, Shu Qing passed for a few more days, and the strange thing was that there was still no movement and instructions in the court.
She is not afraid of death, but when she thinks of the elderly Shu Zicheng, as well as the loyal Xuehuan and Xuepei, she feels a little unhappy.
Shu Zicheng has only one daughter under her knees, if she is sentenced to death, who will send him to the end? Xue Huan and Xue Pei could have continued to stay in King Qing's Mansion, even if their lives were not as comfortable as when she was there, but how could they be better than this cold dungeon.
The dampness in the dungeon is quite heavy, don't say that it is Shu Qing, a pregnant woman, Xue Huan and Xue Pei, the two girls, who are gradually waiting for something wrong - every rainy weather, the legs and feet of the two will be very sore, looking at the painful appearance of the two, Shu Qing is distressed and guilty.
However, Shu Qing herself didn't get much better, the long-term wet and cold environment made her body full of cold, and every night she would have unbearable abdominal pain, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.
Just when Shu Qing's body was getting weaker and weaker, Shu Zicheng suddenly came to the dungeon, in the past, Shu Qing didn't let him come in to visit the prison, Shu Zicheng would never go to the prison, but today Shu Zicheng said nothing and didn't listen to persuasion.
Looking at Shu Qing's haggard face, Shu Zicheng was painful liver and intestines: "Ah Qing...... How did you lose weight like this......"
Although Shu Qing is still too fat compared to ordinary people, compared to half a year ago, she has indeed lost a lot of weight, and even the prison uniform on her body looks wide.
Shu Qing's face was very pale, and her long-term vegetarianism and lack of seeing the light of day made her face almost bloodless.
Seeing that a good daughter was ruined like this, Shu Zicheng gritted his teeth with hatred: "It's all the fault of King Qing!" I am comfortable with my family, and I have to fight with him to the end! ”
"Daddy!" Shu Qing interrupted him weakly, "Now that it's over, you don't have to fight with him anymore." ”
Shu Zicheng trembled with anger: "Why are you still favoring him now, Ah Qing, you have to see his face clearly, this man wants to kill you so that he can continue the back string!" ”
Shu Zicheng said indignantly, and suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, but fortunately, Shu Qing didn't seem to notice the sound of his words, and the expression on his face did not fluctuate at all.
"Dad, I'm not favoring him." Shu Qing paused for a moment, then tried his best to show a smile, and said crisply, "I'm just worried about my father, Ah Qing has already died to Mo Wen now, you are Ah Qing's most important relative in this world, Ah Qing doesn't want you to take risks for me." As long as you are safe and sound, A-Qing has nothing else to ask for. ”
When Shu Zicheng heard this, there was a wave in his heart, he secretly wiped the corners of his sour eyes with his hand, and asked with joy and relief: "Is what you said true?" Did you really let go of that Mo Wengu? ”
Shu Qing nodded, without a trace of ups and downs in his eyes.
Mo Wen cared about her like this, if she still thought about him with a dead face, it would be too uninteresting.
Shu Zixiang took a big breath, patted his chest, and said as if muttering: "That's good, that's good...... As long as you're willing to give up that ungrateful man, everything will be fine. ”
Although Shu Qing didn't understand what Shu Zicheng meant, she also vaguely felt something strange, she blinked, stared straight at Shu Zicheng who was preoccupied, and asked, "Dad, do you have anything else to hide from me?" ”
Shu Zicheng was taken aback, and hurriedly shook his head again and again: "No...... No. ”
There is actually a reason why he wants to come in to see Shu Qing today no matter what, Shu Zicheng secretly swore in his heart that he would never let Shu Qing know about that thing...... Looking at it like this, Shu Qing probably didn't know the news that Mo Wengu was about to marry Liu Chuimian.
Now this good news has spread throughout the capital, and people all over the city know about the marriage of Mo Wengu and Liu Chuimian, a pair of golden boys and girls, and the big day is three days later.
Shu Zicheng also heard about this incident by chance when he went to the shop to collect rent this morning, and he was so angry that he was trembling and his eyes were black. Shu Qing is still suffering in the cage because of Mo Wengu, but Mo Wengu wants to marry another woman at this time! If it weren't for a family member who stopped him, Shu Zicheng would have found King Qing's Mansion with a kitchen knife.
The little emperor also seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, and Shu Zicheng entered the palace several times in a row, but he couldn't meet him.
Shu Zicheng knew very well in his heart that they were deliberately bullying the Shu family!
"Really?" Just like Shu Zicheng understands her, Shu Qing also knows Shu Zicheng very well, at this time, Shu Zicheng's eyes dodged, his expression wandered, and he knew that he was weak at a glance.
Shu Zicheng was so cold by her that he was looking at him, and in desperation, he had to sigh: "Okay, then Dad will tell you the truth." Dad came here today to tell you good news, Dad is already dredging contacts, thinking of overturning the case for you, and now there has been great progress, presumably you will be able to get out of prison in a few days. ”
It's no wonder that the prison guards have been so polite to her recently, it turned out that Shu Zicheng was secretly helping.
When Shu Qing heard the news, he didn't have much joy in his eyes, and he still said very calmly: "My daughter is not filial, and I let my father worry about my daughter again." ”
Shu Zicheng grabbed her cold hand tightly, and said, "Don't say these stupid things again, as long as you can come out safely, Dad's hard work will not be in vain." ”
Shu Qing pursed his lips, looking at the silver threads between Shu Zicheng's temples, he couldn't help but feel a little sour.
Thinking about her days in prison, Shu Zicheng must have been very tormented, she gently shook Shu Zicheng's hands back at the moment, and said solemnly: "Well, dad, don't worry, Ah Qing will take good care of himself in prison, you have to take care of yourself alone, don't let Ah Qing remember." ”
"Okay." Shu Zicheng responded, his heart was sour and astringent, afraid that staying any longer would only make Shu Qing more worried, Shu Zicheng hurriedly smiled, "Aqing, Dad has to go back to collect rent, you can wait for Daddy's good news with peace of mind." ”
After that, Shu Zicheng walked out of the prison of the Criminal Department quickly, and after walking around the corner, Shu Zicheng couldn't help but stretch out his sleeve and wipe a handful of tears.
What kind of sin did their Shu family create, and they will be ruined by Mo Wengu in this life......
