Chapter 972 The Wang family was unusually excited when they delivered the meal.
Zhang Miaoying was utterly heartbroken by her profit-driven father who sold his daughter for personal gain, her vain and unreasonable mother, and her self-righteous, shameless, and arrogant sister!
As for herself, she had been dreaming of becoming an empress for several years in a daze...
Now, it's time to wake up from this dream!
Looking back on what this family had done, bullying the good, extortion, and disregard for the law were minor offenses; the major ones included colluding with foreign powers and plotting treason...
In truth, the Second Grand Secretary's Mansion has brought this predicament upon itself; it is a fitting retribution, and it is entirely justified!
From being convicted in front of the Duke of Anguo's mansion to being imprisoned in the Shuntian Prefecture jail, Zhang Miaoying had long since stopped feeling sorry for herself!
The past is like smoke, too painful to recall. Zhang Miaoying simply waits quietly... waiting for the final outcome of her short life!
The dark cell made it impossible to distinguish between day and night, or how many hours had passed.
During this time, a prison guard brought her food, but Zhang Miaoying had no appetite and did not want to open her eyes.
Listen to Wang Shi and Zhang Miaotong crying and whimpering when the jailer brought them their first meal after they entered prison, looking like they had no appetite;
For this, the mother and daughter were mocked and cursed by the prison guards.
When the jailer brought food again, Wang and Zhang Miaotong were probably really hungry, and they no longer refused to eat.
But after taking only one bite, she spat it all out, complaining that the stale soup and coarse bread were hard to swallow. Her complaints were overheard by a jailer who had just walked away. The jailer turned back and gave Wang and Zhang Miaotong a good scolding, and even went into the cell and kicked over the wooden bucket containing the soup.
As a result, they didn't even have those spoiled soups and coarse breads to eat!
After the jailer had gone far away, Zhang Miaotong began to cry softly again, calling out to Wang Shi that she was hungry.
Wang was also hungry.
At this moment, Wang Shi was in no mood to patiently coax her daughter, whom she usually pampered. After saying a few perfunctory words, she closed her eyes, lay down, and pretended to be dead, not saying or moving.
Zhang Miaoying remained seated against the railing with her eyes closed, motionless, as if everything around her was no longer relevant to her.
I don't know how many hours passed, but then I heard footsteps approaching from afar...
Zhang Miaoying heard footsteps, but she still didn't open her eyes until she heard a somewhat familiar voice...
"Grandma, Misses, your servant has arrived!"
I am here on the orders of the old master and old lady of the house to visit my great-aunt and the two young ladies!
"Grandma, my two cousins, how are you?"
The words of the head housekeeper of the Wang family were like a thunderclap to the ears of Madam Wang and Zhang Miaotong!
"哐哷啷啷..."
The lock and chain fell, the cell door opened, and Granny Chang appeared outside.
When the three women, including the Wang family, turned around, they saw that it was indeed Granny Chang, the head housekeeper of the Wang family, whom they knew well.
Seeing Granny Chang here is like seeing a close relative!
The mother and daughter were overjoyed!
If they hadn't all been injured, they probably would have rushed over as fast as they could and given Granny Chang a big bear hug!
Zhang Miaoying also opened her eyes in surprise and looked over...
It was indeed someone I knew; it was Granny Chang, who served my maternal grandmother.
The prison door opened, and Granny Chang strode into the cell.
Wang and Zhang Miaotong struggled to sit up, anxiously watching Granny Chang approach them.
After her initial surprise, Zhang Miaoying quickly regained her composure and remained seated motionless against the fence.
Once inside the Shuntian Prefecture prison, the three women, including the Wang family, were fully aware of their predicament, as they had all signed their names on the charges against them!
At this point, let alone hoping that someone would come to rescue them, they didn't even dare to think that anyone would come to visit them in the Shuntian Prefecture prison!
The Vice Minister Zhang Jinyan had already been imprisoned in the Imperial Prison before the mother and her two daughters were imprisoned in the Shuntian Prefecture Prison, so there was no way to rely on him!
As for that Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi... when the Second Assistant Minister Zhang Jinyan first entered the imperial prison, he even received two meals of wine and food sent by him as a sign of respect.
Aside from watching his carriage drive away from the gates of the Duke of Anguo's mansion with a cold and indifferent back view, and seeing the letter of divorce that he hurriedly sent after he left, the mother and her daughters never saw him show any regard for their past relationship, any concern, or any care for them!
Right now, they are burdened with serious crimes and imprisoned, their lives hanging by a thread. They dare not expect anyone to put in any effort or spend any money to make them as comfortable as possible in prison!
As for Wang's maternal family... uh... that Wang family, even Wang herself, who came from the Wang family, never had any illusions about the Wang family, let alone Zhang Miaoying and Zhang Miaotong.
Zhang Miaoying and Zhang Miaotong both knew that their maternal relatives were so particular that they wouldn't even let the mud from their yard get outside the gate on a rainy day!
Believing that the Wang family would spend money to take care of them now... is less likely than believing that it will rain blood from the sky!
But to everyone's surprise, the head housekeeper of the Wang family unexpectedly appeared in the Shuntian Prefecture prison!
Not only that, she even brought bedding, a food box, and a large bundle!
The mother and her two daughters, initially unable to believe their eyes, blinked, rubbed their eyes, and closed and reopened them repeatedly before finally accepting what they were seeing…
It really was Granny Chang who came to bring them food, clothes, and other necessities!
Wang cried out for Granny Chang, so excited that tears streamed down her face!
Zhang Miaotong's face was also covered in snot and tears!
The mother and daughter reached out and grabbed Chang Mama's clothes tightly, as if they had grasped the last straw!
Only Zhang Miaoying remained still and silent, her eyes slightly narrowed as she looked at the food box in Granny Chang's hand...
