The emperor lightly glanced at the third prince, and finally said, “You are late, everything has already entered the treasury.”
Once it was in the treasury, it was national property, not what you could take away at will.
Third Prince, “…”
Why didn’t the Emperor Father tell me earlier? Playing with him on purpose, right?!
Is this person still my father??!
However, he had already made a deal with the Marquis, what should he do?
The Third Prince subconsciously looked to his mother for help, the imperial concubine slightly shook her head in response, it was a foregone conclusion.
Seeing this, the third prince was frustrated and glared at the Prince quietly. In this matter, the prince must be instigating from behind.
The Prince raised his eyebrows and thought his younger brothers had all grown up and had many different ideas.
The Mu family spent the New Year in prison, and every moment was truly tormenting.
Eating, drinking, and relieving were all in a small space, and the smell of the toilet was so big that it made people sick.
The porridge was as thin as soup, had a weird musty smell, and tasted worse than pig food.
The pampered Mu family members couldn’t bear this hardship.
They deeply suspected that the jailor was bullying them, which made Old lady Mu offend the jailer.
Some people didn’t dare to say it out loud, but they blamed Old lady Mu in their hearts.
There was really no way to do it, the pig food was also eaten. Everyone closed their eyes and ate it.
After a few days, the Mu family members looked haggard and pale. They all have lost a lot of weight, and their body seemed to be drained of energy.
The tempting aroma of food suddenly came from the cell next door. The white rice was mixed with the oily broth, which was quite fragrant.
The Mu family stared at them, salivating.
They never touched that kind of food before, thinking it was too greasy, but now they were crying to taste it.
Old lady Mu hadn’t eaten or slept well, her complexion was extremely poor, her previously rich body quickly lost weight, and her old face became thinner and paler. There were many more wrinkles.
Mu Zhong De looked at Jin Sun, whose saliva was drooling while smelling the food, then looked at his haggard mother.
He pressed his aching stomach, stood up, and saluted to the person staying in the other cell.
“This brother, can you give my old lady a bit to taste? It doesn’t matter if we don’t eat it, but the old lady is old and will get sick if she doesn’t eat something nice.”
While begging for something to eat for the old lady, he could also eat some.
The other party was a strong man full of street-smart spirit.
Hearing those words, he raised eyebrows, “What are you dreaming about Brother? Your old lady is sick and it’s none of my business?!”
These noble ladies and masters do not understand the sufferings of the common people and do not care about their sufferings.
Is it easy for ordinary people to eat meat and white rice?! They are all prisoners, who is more noble than whom??!
Inside this cell, they are all the same here, so why should he give his precious food to others?!
Hearing the reply, Mu Zhong De was ashamed and annoyed, but his greed for food prevailed, “We will return your help a hundredfold in the future, so…”
As long as they were willing to spend some money, the jailer would surely provide three meals.
Mu Zhong De’s eldest son angrily muttered, “If we had money, why would we ask for help from you?”
The valuables were all seized, and nothing was left on them.
The strong man was very impatient, he directly said, “Then count on your relatives and friends to deliver meals to you. As long as the money is here, everything can be discussed.”
He took a big mouthful of the cooked rice, and under the watchful eyes of the Mu family, he happily ate like he was eating the famous delicacies of the world.
He has food, others don’t, it’s cool!
Mu Jin Yao weekly leaned against the wall, her face was abnormally flushed, and she felt extremely uncomfortable, “Grandmother, why aren’t the first and second aunts coming to see us?”
The Old lady Mu also wanted to ask this, it has been several days, why haven’t her two daughters appeared?
Their husband’s family is rich and powerful, so it’s not difficult for them to spend some money to make Mu’s life better in prison.
“They will come, they may be temporarily caught.”
Those words were unconvincing, even Old Lady Mu herself did not believe it.
Mu Wan Qing sat in the corner and coldly watched everything, even Qin Hui had a few good friends, but why did the Mu family have no one to help in the prison?!
Not only did no one come to visit, but there was no one to even deliver a meal.
Or, the Mu family’s situation is so severe that they are afraid to get involved?!
