Chapter 6: Imprisonment
Gu Fei and the second young lady walked in the crowd with their heads down, and the second young lady held Gu Fei's hand tightly.
She didn't know what happened just now, but she was sure that they could escape, which must be the credit of Feicui.
One by one, the female relatives were taken into the cold and damp women's prison of the Ministry of Justice like lambs to be slaughtered.
The women and maids of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion added up to nearly a hundred people. The women's prison was overcrowded, and there were more than ten people in each cell.
Gu Fei was in the same room with the second young lady. From beginning to end, the second young lady held her tightly and would not let go.
After entering the cell, Gu Fei let go of her hand holding the collar.
She looked down and saw that the fine cotton middle shirt had a tear all the way to the waist. If it was not repaired, it would be impossible to wear it.
The second young lady also saw it. She blinked, lifted her shirt, and pulled out a pink silk sweat towel with flowers from her waist and handed it to Gu Fei, "You use this to cover it."
Gu Fei smiled bitterly. If this kind of thing was seen by the jailer, it would be taken away immediately.
She thought for a moment, tore the pink sweat towel in half, and handed half to the second young lady, "Tie it up, don't let your pants fall off later."
The second young lady blushed and tied half of the sweat towel, and then she saw Gu Fei also took out a white cotton sweat towel from her waist and wrapped it around her chest.
The second young lady hurriedly reached out to help Gu Fei wrap it up.
Gu Fei tied half of the pink sweat towel around her pants again, and looked down. Although it was not very beautiful to wrap the sweat towel, at least it didn't show her body.
Gu Fei then had the mind to look at the cell.
The cell was only about ten square meters, with some straw piled on the ground, and a few tattered quilts of unknown color. It was two or three meters above the ground, with a small window and two wooden fences as thick as an arm.
There was a toilet in the corner of the cell, and many suspicious stains could be seen on the outer wall of the toilet.
Gu Fei only took a glance and didn't dare to look again.
In this cell, there were not only a few maids in the second young lady's room, but also a few kitchen maids.
Gu Fei pulled the second young lady, "Let's sit over there."
The air would be better near the door.
The second young lady and Gu Fei were like sisters, and now they obeyed Gu Fei's orders.
As soon as the two sat down next to the fence at the door, a woman cried sharply from the cell across the street, "How can we live here? There's not even a place to sit!"
Gu Fei looked over and saw that it was the third concubine of the Marquis.
This woman was bought from the place of fireworks. On weekdays, she relied on the Marquis's favor and had the best food and things to use. How could she stand such a dirty and messy place?
Without waiting for the jailer to come over, the Marquis's wife in the cell across the street shouted, "If you don't want to live, go die. No one can stop you!"
Soon, only the sobbing of the third concubine was left over there.
The second young lady pressed closer to Gu Fei, and she whispered, "Fei Cui, are we going to stay in the prison in the future?"
Gu Fei shook her head. She didn't know what fate was waiting for them.
It was dusk when they came in that day. Perhaps it was past the time for food delivery, and the prison didn't even give them a bowl of porridge.
It was already dark, and the oil lamp was emitting a dim light.
Gu Fei's stomach growled. The second lady looked at her and touched her belly, "I'm hungry too."
Gu Fei whispered, "Go to sleep, you won't be hungry when you sleep."
She struggled to get up and get the quilt.
Several tattered quilts of unknown color were no longer in their original place. I don't know when.
