Chapter 600 - 597 - : A Good Dog_1
"Here we are! This is it..." The prison guard of the Court of Judicial Review opened the cell door and respectfully addressed Madam Fu.
"Thank you!" Madam Fu signaled the nanny beside her to reward the prison guard. She smiled and said, "You’ve worked hard. This is a token of appreciation for you."
With shackles on his legs, kneeling among the straw, missing an arm and covered in dirt, Fu Ruoxi raised his head. By the dim light in the cell, he saw his mother’s solemn features. Fu Ruoxi’s hand tightened on his knee, and his dry, cracked lips pressed together tightly.
The prison guard weighed the purse filled with silver, smiling as he tucked it into his sleeve. "What are you saying, Madam Fu! The Crown Prince has ordered us to comply. Take your time talking! I will take my leave now!"
Madam Fu nodded and smiled at the guard. She then focused her gaze on the bedraggled and one-armed Fu Ruoxi in the cell.
Madam Fu’s eyes were bloodshot. She told the nanny beside her, "Let me know if anyone comes."
"Yes!" The nanny nodded, saluted, and walked aside to wait.
Madam Fu stepped into the old room, her red eyes sharp as she stared at Fu Ruoxi.
