Chapter 502 Envy? How about I send you in too?
"Don't even think about it! I told you to stay away from my sister, but you're still thinking about her! Since we can't agree, let's just say goodbye! Pretend I didn't say anything just now." Shen Jinghong turned and left. What was he thinking? That was a well-known devil who killed people without blinking an eye, and he was also a favorite of the emperor. She was crazy to make conditions to him. He was afraid that if he continued talking, he would really trap Yao Qingnian. Today, the two of them seemed to be quite familiar with each other. No, no, my sister is already married, and she can't let her brother-in-law down. When she comes out, he has to have a good talk with her and tell her to stay away from the leader of Zi Ye Pavilion.
Watching Shen Jinghong leaving, the smile in Lu Huaijin's eyes deepened. This brother-in-law seemed to be quite good and much more reliable than those people in the Shen family.
Yao Qingnian was taken away by Lord Lu and put into a cell directly. However, Lord Lu remembered that she had helped catch the flower thief last time, so he personally arranged a separate luxurious cell for her: "Miss Shen, you will have to stay here for a few days. When Concubine Shen is better, we will review the case and will definitely get to the bottom of the matter."
"Thank you, Lord Lu, for your concern." Yao Qingnian saw that the cell was clean and tidy, and had all the daily necessities. How could this look like being in prison?
"You, take good care of Miss Shen. Except that she cannot leave the cell, she can do whatever she wants. Do you understand?" Lord Lu whispered to the prison boss and jailer in the cell, and then left the cell after giving the instructions.
"Yes, sir, we understand."
Zhou Yong is the leader of this cell. Lord Lu is an honest official and seldom asks him to take good care of the prisoners. It seems that this girl who came in is not simple, so he took note of Lord Lu's instructions and took special care of Yao Qingnian.
Life in the cell is very boring. The jailers have no responsibility other than guarding the prisoners. When they have nothing to do on weekdays, they get together and play some dice to kill time.
"Big big big!"
"Oh, I won again. Give me money."
The few of them were having fun, and Yao Qingnian couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what are you playing? Can you take me with you?"
Yao Qingnian was also bored, and seeing them having fun, he asked them if he could take one with him.
"Playing dice, why are you, a girl, joining in the fun? Just read a book if you are bored. Don't imitate us." The jailer spoke to her in a kind voice and did not beat or scold her like he did to other prisoners.
"Take one of you with me. I can't run away anyway. Look, I have silver." Yao Qingnian took out a silver ingot and shook it in his hand.
The guards looked at each other and nodded. "You can play, but let me make it clear in advance. If you lose, you are not allowed to cry or say that we bullied you."
"Of course, how could I be such a person?" Yao Qingnian assured them.
"Okay, come on!" The jailer released her from the cell.
At first, they thought that she was a girl, so they gave her some leeway. They didn't expect that she couldn't win even after all this. They felt a little embarrassed and were ready to persuade her to go back to the cell: "Girl, you've lost several games in a row. How about we play another day?"
"It's okay, this is just the beginning!" Yao Qingnian asked them to continue.
Anyway, this girl looked like she was wealthy, so how could they refuse the money that was delivered to their doorstep? So they continued to play.
Unexpectedly, Yao Qingnian started to exert his strength and won several games in a row. In the end, they lost all their savings.
"Haha, I won again." Yao Qingnian laughed heartily.
"Girl, you are an expert!" Several jailers looked at each other in bewilderment. They had lost all their money and would be beaten by their wives when they returned.
"No, no, I don't know anything. I just got lucky." Looking at the ugly faces of the jailers, Yao Qingnian took out all the silver he had just won: "I was just bored and killing time. Here, this silver is for you. Use it to buy some wine and prepare some delicious food for me."
"This... A real man should be able to bend and stretch. We are willing to accept the loss. How can we take your money? No, no!" The jailer waved his hands.
"Just take it, young men. I'll have to rely on your care these days! Consider this silver my token of my gratitude for taking care of me." Yao Qingnian handled the ways of the world just right.
"Thank you, young lady." They didn't act pretentiously anymore and took the silver.
"It's boring to play dice every day. Let's try something new."
"Is there anything more fun than dice?" The jailers were skeptical.
"Here, this." Yao Qingnian took out a set of mahjong, then told them the rules and how to play, and several people began to play mahjong in the cell.
"Hey, Miss Shen, you know what, mahjong is much more fun than dice. Where did you learn it from? We have never played it before."
"My master gave it to me." She brought up the "I Have a Master" series again.
"Your master? He seems to be a hermit."
"That's it. Hey, hey, hey, I'm on the bar, and I'm on the bar! Come on, come on, give me some money, give me some money..."
These days, Yao Qingnian eats and drinks enough in prison and then goes to sleep. When he wakes up, he plays mahjong with the jailers. His life is more comfortable than that outside.
"How is Madam doing in the Heavenly Prison?" Lu Huaijin asked.
"Uh...very good." Tornado replied.
"Very good, what?"
"Madam has no worries about food and drink in prison, and plays mahjong with the jailers every day. Those days are really enviable!" Xuanfeng was really envious. How could Madam have so much fun no matter where she was?
"Envious? How about I send you in too?"
"Hey, don't, Master, I'm just kidding! Don't worry about the Madam, she's fine. We have people watching over her, and Lord Lu is taking care of her, so there's no problem."
"Well, how did things go?"
"Our people found some things for Prince Rui to do, and he was so busy that he had no time to take care of other things. As for Concubine Shen, she has almost recovered, but she lies in her room every day pretending to be sick and refuses to go to Jingzhao Prefecture."
"It's okay. Let Madam play for two more days." The corners of Lu Huaijin's mouth rose slightly. He could imagine Yao Qingnian's happy look in the cell. It seemed that he was not in a hurry to come out.
That day, people from the Duke's Mansion sent over a table of delicious food. Yao Qingnian couldn't finish it all by himself, so he asked them to eat together. They ate and chatted.
"Boss, how did you get arrested? You don't look like you have done anything wrong. Our boss even asked us to take care of you."
