Chapter 253: Shen Qing’s Death (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The night gradually darkened. The winter night was always especially cold. If one walked outside, the north wind seemed to be able to blow into one’s bones.

In the gloomy prison, the wind blew in through the narrow window, making the people in the prison shiver. Shen Qing wrapped the broken quilt tightly around her body, revealing only her head. She stood up with difficulty and tried to close the window.

However, even if she stood on her tiptoes, she could not reach it. A moment later, she gave up on it, afraid that if she used too much strength, she would only make herself weaker.

When the guard who came to patrol saw this scene, he only smiled and stood there to watch, but he did not go forward to help. People who were in such a gloomy place for a long time would more or less be a little distorted. Probably for the guards, watching the prisoners suffer had become a form of entertainment, at least for now.

Shen Qing glanced at the prison guard and quickly lowered her head to hide the hatred in her eyes. She had been here for a few days and had suffered all kinds of hardships. She did not know if Shen Yuan and Shen Gui did not bribe the guards, but these prison guards treated her no differently from others. They also watched her suffer and made fun of her. If there was anything different with their attitude towards her, it was probably that she wasn’t raped by these prison guards like the other female prisoners. However, this might not be because of the Shen family. After all, she was still pregnant with Prince Yu’s flesh and blood. No matter if her background was glorious or not, she was still related to the royal family.

Shen Qing carefully touched her stomach. Now, this was the only thing she could rely on. For some reason, what Shen Miao said to her in the afternoon made her feel an extreme fear. This was something she had never felt before. Even when she was brought to prison in the beginning, she wasn’t that terrified because she knew that someone would come to save her. Her family would not let her suffer for nothing.

However, Shen Miao’s analysis shattered her hopes one by one, making question if she could escape unscathed this time.

The guard glanced at her and was about to walk out when Shen Qing suddenly said, “Sir.”

The guard stopped and walked up to her. He probably couldn’t stand the smell of Shen Qing and waved her hand in disgust. “What’s the matter?”

“Have my family come to see me these past few days? Or have they sent me a message?” She held back her anger. If it was in the past, they would probably curry favor with her.

The guard laughed. “Miss Shen, what are you thinking? Before the case is thoroughly investigated, no one will dare to come and see you. Besides, other than your sister, no one in your family has asked about you.” At this point, the guard’s tone was a little mocking. After all, after what happened to Shen Qing, even if she was cleared of her crimes in the future, she would probably have a hard time surviving. It wasn’t unreasonable to speculate that the Shen family would abandon her. At the thought of this, the guard treated her even more harshly.

Shen Qing couldn’t tell if she was disappointed or relieved. After a moment of hesitation, she looked at the prison guard and said, “Sir, if my brother comes to see me… Tell him that I’m too heavy-hearted and don’t want to see anyone. I won’t let him see me.” As she spoke, she took off a bracelet from her wrist and handed it over.

When she was sent to the prison, most of the jewelry on her body had been plundered. This bracelet was worn by Ren Wanyun on the day of Shen Qing’s marriage. It was also very precious. Shen Qing wasn’t willing to part with it, but now, she had to.
