Chapter 1256 What does she wants in the prison?
"You should stop making a fuss," Mei Shu who was locked in the same prison as Gu Mu, stated coldly. She looked at the woman who was the cause of her downfall and wished she could feed on her flesh and drink her blood.
But Mei Shu was already suffering enough as it was and from what the guard said, Old Madam Gu tried her best to keep their lives. Even if she was just an add-on, Mei Shu did not mind. Staying alive was the only thing that she cared for now.
Gu Mu was very angry and slapped Mei Shu. The sound of her slap echoed in the prison cell causing Mei Shu to be stunned, she touched the cheek that was slapped and when she felt the sting, Mei Shu knew that this woman really did slap her.
"What was that for!" She demanded while looking at the woman in front of her. If not for the fact that they were being watched by the guards she would have scratched this woman's face. Did she think that she was still in the same position as before?
However, Gu Mu did not think that she was in the wrong. She flared her nostrils and then looked down at Mei Shu contemptuously before saying, "Do you think that you and I are the same? You are alive because of my grandmother! You better not start with me, Mei Shu! If you have taken the blame then we wouldn't be in this situation!"
Mei Shu's nerves twitched. She knew there were millions of nerves in the human body but somehow Gu Mu ended up getting on each one of them.
"You…was it me who poured oil on Zi Zan?"Mei Shu snapped angrily. "I even said to you that you should stay calm for the time being and not make a mess! But you went ahead and did your own thing why am I the one who is getting blamed?"
She pursed her lips and added, "If you have so many complaints then you should go and deal with Yu Dong. Let's see if you can still act so haughty."
At the mention of Yu Dong's name, Gu Mu's heart was filled with both hatred and fear. She could only grit her teeth and sit down quietly. However she was very reluctant to stay inside the prison, she really wished her grandmother would come to take her home.
The prison was filled with all sorts of smells, some noises made her feel terrified and even the beds that were placed inside the cells were too rough and hard.
They only gave her a stale bun and water, something that Gu Mu had never eaten in her life and she also refused it. But who would have thought that the Yamen had the rule of not giving meals to the prisoners who refused to eat their meals? Now she was forced to stay hungry for more than three days! How could Gu Mu accept this!?
Gu Mu continued to grumble inwardly in her heart but time continued to pass and no one listened to any of her complaints. Soon it was dinner time, a guard came and stuffed a tray of boiled rice with stale seaweed soup and yet Mei Shu gobbled it down, she didn't even share a single bite with Gu Mu.
When Gu Mu saw that Mei Shu had eaten the entire rice, she angrily asked, "Why didn't you leave some for me?" She was hungry to the point that her stomach was sticking to her back. Mei Shu knew it too but she ate everything! What was she trying to do?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mei Shu blinked innocently and then said, "You wanted to eat? I thought that you didn't want to eat the meal given in the prison. So I ate it all. You wanted it?"
Of course, Mei Shu knew that Gu Mu wanted to eat but this woman was the one who refused to eat earlier in the morning why should she share her dinner with her? She wasn't the one who asked Gu Mu to not eat her lunch and breakfast.
Gu Mu was so angry that her face turned red but she didn't dare to say anything as the sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor. She knew that if she was to fight with Mei Shu then the guards would blame her.
Gu Mu didn't want another beating and thus, rolled her eyes a couple of times before swallowing her words.
Mei Shu smiled when she saw that Gu Mu was not fighting with her. She pushed the dirty dishes away from her bed and then climbed up. Though the bed was harsh, it was better than facing execution.
After Mei Shu went to sleep, Gu Mu continued to roll on her bed. She was so hungry that she couldn't even close her eyes and could only roll left and right. Soon the scent of braised pork wafted over to her nose causing Gu Mu to groan.
"These people are heartless, they don't let us eat meat and they themselves are eating meat! Even if they wanted to eat, they should have at least eaten it away from the dungeons," muttered Gu Mu.
"What's wrong? Are you hungry miss?" Gu Xingyu asked while standing outside the door, she was dressed in the uniform of the yamen officers. As she held onto a small lunch box.
When Gu Mu heard Gu Xingyu's voice, she sat up straight in her bed, she looked at Gu Xingyu and asked, "Who…who are you?"
"I am the guard of this prison," replied Gu Xingyu as she looked at Gu Mu with a gentle smile. "I was passing by when I heard you grumble, are you hungry?" She asked again.
Gu Mu pursed her lips and nodded before saying, "I am really hungry… miss please be kind and give me some food."
Gu Xingyu's smile widened eerily when she heard Gu Mu's request.
