Chapter 66 Fruit That Appeared Out of Nowhere!
Chapter 66 Fruit That Appeared Out of Nowhere!
Jiang Nianxing was the smartest of the three children.
Many times, even Mei Xingyue had to consult him.
Upon hearing her eldest son say that Su Yunjin was acting strangely, Mei Xingyue immediately understood, and the mother and son worked together seamlessly.
After quietly packing their belongings, the family of four huddled in the farthest corner of the cell, keeping the furthest distance from Su Yunjin, who was feigning sleep across from them.
Only then did Mei Xingyue whisper to her beloved son, "Nianxing, what's wrong with that woman?"
Jiang Nianmei felt a burning pain on her cheeks after the medicine was applied, but that didn't stop her from being gossipy.
Especially after seeing Su Yunjin's beautiful appearance, which was no less than that of her own mother Mei Xingyue, Jiang Nianmei, the little devil, planted a seed of jealousy in her heart.
What kind of slut is she, worthy of being as beautiful as my mother?
So she leaned over and listened carefully.
Jiang Nianyue, with all his teeth knocked out, lay on the straw mat, seemingly asleep.
Jiang Nianxing whispered, "Look at the food in front of her—"
Mei Xingyue and Jiang Nianmei exchanged a glance, and with perfect understanding, you read it first, then I'll read it.
If the two of them turned to look in Su Yunjin's direction together, they would be too conspicuous.
After looking at it, Jiang Nianmei asked in confusion, "Brother, there are just some leftovers and spoiled rice in front of her, what's there to see?"
Mei Xingyue has the same problem.
Jiang Nianxing shook her head and said, "You've forgotten, the embroidered-robed messenger said that this woman has been locked up here for several days."
"Is this the kind of food served in the prison cells? What would it be like if you ate like this for a few days?"
Mei Xingyue thought of the days when she was poor and destitute after leaving the capital.
His face was ashen and pale as a vegetable!
But Su Yunjin not only looked very energetic, but her complexion was also very rosy.
Anyone who didn't know better would think she just joined today.
Jiang Nianxing continued, "This isn't a restaurant where you can choose what to eat."
"These things have no oil or fat. If you eat them for two days, you'll feel like you've been completely bloated. No matter how much you eat, you'll never feel full."
"But look at her, she only ate half a steamed bun..."
Mei Xingyue's heart skipped a beat, and the more she looked at Su Yunjin, the more she felt something was wrong.
People need food to survive, and in this prison cell, let alone a meal, even missing a little food might not be enough to make it to the next day.
Su Yunjin not only ate little, but also looked good.
That's weird, so weird!
Following Jiang Nianxing's train of thought, Mei Xingyue's gaze fell on Su Yunjin's clothes.
"Son, her clothes are too clean—"
The little girl Jiang Nianmei immediately looked closely and indeed found that Su Yunjin's clothes and skirt were very clean, which was in stark contrast to the dirty clothes of the mother and her three children.
Jiang Nianxing said thoughtfully, "This Zhaoyu Prison is no ordinary place; outsiders are not allowed to visit it."
This means that Su Yunjin had no means to change into clean clothes, nor did she have the opportunity to eat the delicious meals her family sent her.
The mother and her two children exchanged a glance, and Mei Xingyue instructed, "We'll take turns on duty tonight and see what this woman is up to."
The two children nodded, feeling a little excited.
Going to jail is usually a painful and tedious experience, but with the sudden appearance of a strange person like Su Yunjin, the two children immediately forgot their pain and became very interested.
Su Yunjin sat leaning against the corner of the cell, her expression calm, but inwardly she was cursing.
She was perfectly fine being locked up here alone, unattended.
As long as she timed it to coincide with the time when the prison guards came to deliver food and patrol, she could enter her spatial dimension to enjoy herself at any time!
There's a small, rustic cottage inside the space.
It has everything you could possibly need!
But now, there are suddenly neighbors in the cell, making it inconvenient to enter the space to eat, shower, or change clothes.
Should we take the risk or be more obedient and docile?
Su Yunjin weighed the options in her mind, unable to make up her mind for a long time.
Late into the night, her stomach began to churn, and a wave of hunger washed over her.
Thinking of the delicious fruits and vegetables in the space, Su Yunjin couldn't help but lick her lips and suddenly sat up from the straw mat.
Her gaze shifted to the Mei family of four across from her, and she calmed down to listen attentively.
I heard the family of four breathing evenly, already fast asleep.
Su Yunjin then quietly reached into her spatial storage, took out a bunch of bananas, and hid in a corner to enjoy them.
Jiang Nianmei, who was on duty, covered her mouth tightly when she saw this scene, trying not to scream!
What did she see?
The woman conjured a string of fruit out of thin air.
Is this a miracle?
Jiang Nianmei forced herself to slow her breathing so that Su Yunjin wouldn't notice anything amiss.
But those eyes were fixed on Su Yunjin's every move in the darkness!
Jiang Nianmei, still in shock, didn't notice that her second brother, who should have been fast asleep, was lying on his side, his eyes scanning Su Yunjin up and down.
Unlike Jiang Nianmei's shock, Jiang Nianyue's eyes were filled with undisguised greed!
……
The next day, Zhou Wei got up very early.
The eldest princess accepted Miss Ning's invitation and will be visiting the general's mansion today.
Ning He, the beloved daughter of Prime Minister Ning, is the close friend of Princess Jiang Yueli.
Several years ago, Prime Minister Ning promised her to Lu Zhiyan, who was making a name for himself in the army.
It was thought that the young couple would live in harmony after marriage. Lu Zhiyan, with the help of Prime Minister Ning, became a general and would treat his wife well.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiyan brought back a village girl named Su Yunjin from the countryside.
He even dared to dream of having two wives!
After hearing Su Yunjin's name from Zhou Wei, Jiang Yueli had been wanting to visit Ning He at the General's Mansion.
Unfortunately, having just been reborn, there were too many things to do, and things got delayed.
Jiang Yueli was visiting guests today, so she spent the morning choosing gifts at the mansion.
When Zhou Wei entered the room, the painting "Girl Practicing Swordplay" by the Canaanite hermit was also spread out on the table.
Jiang Yueli spent a long time choosing, but none of the gifts seemed to suit her taste.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Wei couldn't help but frown slightly.
She tugged at Ziyu and asked, "Little Ziyu, does the princess want to give this painting to Miss Ning?"
Ziyu immediately said, "How could that be! Sister Wei, this is something you gave to the princess, and she treasures it very much."
"I was on night duty last night and I saw the princess admiring this painting!"
"It's just sitting here now, but we plan to put it in the warehouse for safekeeping later."
Upon hearing Ziyu's explanation, Zhou Wei immediately felt happy.
She knew it! Jiang Yueli isn't that kind of person!
Although the money for the painting was given by Qiu Fangyun, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the money actually came from Zhou Wei.
If Jiang Yueli really doesn't say a word, then give her feelings to someone else.
Zhou Wei will be unhappy then!
When she was in a better mood, she had a more refined appreciation for paintings. Zhou Wei picked up the painting "Girl Practicing Swordplay" and examined it carefully.
The girl in the painting is practicing swordsmanship by the stream, looking heroic and spirited.
Even though it was just a glimpse of her back, one could sense that this girl must be exceptionally beautiful!
Looking at the painting, Zhou Wei glanced up and caught a glimpse of Jiang Yueli directing servants to move things out of the corner of her eye—
Strange, why does this look so familiar?
