After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 693: Imprisoned

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice smiled bitterly.

Accidentally causing harm is still causing harm.

To put it plainly, if the people don’t report it, the officials won’t investigate.

If Duke Chong insists on pursuing this, the Princess Consort Zhenbei will surely suffer.

Su Jin couldn’t resist, and had to go with the Ministry of Justice Minister.

Xie Jingchen escorted her to the Ministry of Justice.

Seeing the Hidden Guard carrying a meal box, Su Jin’s mouth twitched, "I haven’t even entered the Ministry of Justice Prison, and they’re already preparing meals for me?"

"Princess Consort, this is for Prince NanAn and the others," the Hidden Guard said, his mouth twitching.

"...."

Encountering familiar faces even in prison, Su Jin was exasperated with herself.

Once inside the Ministry of Justice Prison, the Hidden Guard carried the meal box to see Chu Shun and the others.

When Heir of Marquis Beining received the meals, he glanced at Xie Jingchen in the distance and said, "Wasn’t Brother Jingchen saying he wouldn’t have time to visit these days?"

"Seems like your family Young Master has a tough exterior but a soft heart," Prince NanAn looked at the Hidden Guard and said.

The Hidden Guard handed the meals to the prison guard and turned to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Why leave so soon?"

The prison guard said, "Prince Zhenbei is here to bring the Princess Consort to the prison and brought you some meals along."

"What? Sister-in-law is also here in prison?" Chu Shun was surprised.

Heir of Marquis Beining leaned against the prison door and shouted, "Cousin! Cousin!"

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice walked over and said, "Why shout so loudly while in prison?"

"We want to change cells," Heir of Marquis Beining said.

"All cells are the same," the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice said.

"Move us next to Princess Consort Zhenbei’s cell," Heir of Marquis Beining said.

"...."

"Since we’re all cousins, I’m just asking for this small favor. If you agree, we’ll forget about you arresting us."

Pleading at first, then it turned into a threat.

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice was annoyed at his cousin and felt that not inflicting more harm was already kind.

But he didn’t agree, it was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who agreed.

"Move them to another cell," the Minister of the Ministry of Justice said coolly.

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice looked at the Minister, "No need to give me face."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice tossed cold water on him, "I’m giving face to the Prince Zhenbei Mansion. If something happens to Princess Consort Zhenbei in my Ministry of Justice Prison, I can’t afford the consequences."

"They can conveniently help take care of some matters."

"...."

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice blushed with embarrassment.

Why not directly put Prince Zhenbei next to them?

Indeed, Princess Consort Zhenbei’s prison cell was cleaner and brighter.

Prince NanAn and the others admired the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Even while incarcerated, he could think of their value.

The Minister said, "However long Princess Consort Zhenbei is held, they will be held the same duration."

Prince NanAn and the others were taken aback.

Isn’t the sentencing a bit too arbitrary?

So casual, their fists were itching.

"No worries, I don’t believe Sister-in-law will be held for three days," Chu Shun was confident that Su Jin would not be unlucky. Those who provoke her will meet misfortune.

"But Sister-in-law has had bad luck lately," Prince NanAn said.

"Even when unlucky, her luck is better than ours," Heir of Marquis Beining said wistfully.

She was imprisoned for blinding the Old Madam Duke Chong in one eye, albeit unintentionally.

But they were captured for shouting "Prince Consort Xie" prematurely on the street.

Changing cells now equates them with Sister-in-law’s punishment.

If Su Jin were held in the Ministry of Justice Prison, it wouldn’t matter, but now their cells were next to hers.

They felt downcast.

Thus, they moved to the cell next to Su Jin’s.

Xingxing saw them and smiled, "You’re really here."

"Why is a maid like you imprisoned too?" Prince NanAn asked.

"I’m here to accompany my young lady in prison; being alone is too dull," Xingxing said.

"An extraordinary maid."

Praised, Xingxing smiled broadly.

Prince NanAn looked around, "Where’s Brother Jingchen? He’s indeed an exceptional husband, why isn’t he accompanying Sister-in-law in prison?"

Su Jin looked exasperated.

If he’s also in prison, who would investigate the case and get her out?

Xingxing opened the meal box and handed fruit to Prince NanAn and the others.

Prince NanAn took the fruit, tossed it up and caught it, then wiped it on his brocade robe and took a bite, mumbling, "This is what being in prison looks like."

Xingxing not only brought fruit, but also books.

Su Jin read books to pass the time.

Prince NanAn and the others were bored next door.

However, the prison had plenty of rats that would scurry around.

Sister-in-law and the maid were sure to scream when scared.

Prince NanAn and the others sat there waiting for rats to pass by.

They had nothing better to do.

No food, drinks, entertainment, chatting would disturb Su Jin’s reading.

After waiting for a long time, two rats finally came, heading towards Su Jin’s cell.

Prince NanAn and the others anticipated Su Jin and Xingxing to scream, ready themselves to play heroes.

As the rats approached Su Jin’s cell, they reached the cell divider and then turned back.

Chu Shun, "...."

Prince NanAn, "...."

Heir of Marquis Beining, "...."

Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion, "...."

Even the rats are considerate nowadays?

But no worries, they continued to wait.

The second set of rats came, with the same situation as the first.

Prince NanAn couldn’t help it, "It’s infuriating!"

"Even rats are afraid of Sister-in-law and her maid, not daring to get close!"

Xingxing looked at Prince NanAn and the others, "Of course, rats wouldn’t dare get close. We sprinkled insect repellent around the cell when we arrived."

Their mouths twitched fiercely. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

They forgot Sister-in-law is skilled in using poisons.

Last bit of interest in being imprisoned was gone...

Su Jin finished one book and began another, showing no impatience.

Their respect for her grew.

Being in prison and still having the mood to read, this place was only suitable for playing Mahjong.

Thinking of Mahjong, Prince NanAn gave Chu Shun and the others a look.

Four people, perfect for a table.

A prison guard walked by.

Prince NanAn called him over, beckoning, "Come here, come here."

The prison guard trotted over, "What can I do for you, Prince?"

"Bring us a set of Mahjong."

"...."

The prison guard looked exasperated.

It’s one thing asking for food, snacks, or drinks, but Mahjong...

Could they at least show some respect to the Ministry of Justice Prison?

They’re here to be punished, not to enjoy themselves.

Are they trying to turn imprisonment into a leisure stroll through the Beauty Pavilion?

But refusing them was difficult.

The prison guard said reluctantly, "There’s no Mahjong in the cells."

Prince NanAn took a sliver of silver from his robe and tossed it to the guard, "Buy us a set, keep the rest for yourself."

The guard accepted the silver, smiling, "I’ll go buy it for you now, Prince."

Prince NanAn and the others patiently waited.

Half an hour later, the guard brought the Mahjong set.

He even thoughtfully brought a table.

Chu Shun and the others sat around it, looking at Su Jin, "Sister-in-law, would you like to play two rounds?"

Su Jin’s mouth twitched.

"You guys go ahead and play," Su Jin said.

Prince NanAn and the others proceeded to play Mahjong.

After a round of Mahjong, the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice arrived.
