Dali Temple Prison.
Shu He was held in the women’s ward. Because she had killed the third young master of the Duke’s Estate, she was labeled a high-risk prisoner and locked in a "Di" grade cell. Whether or not it was because Baili Moqing had put in a word, the guards treated her with relative courtesy; there was no beating or berating, and they had escorted her into the cell in a civilized manner.
In the next cell sat a woman who, seeing Shu He receive such preferential treatment, felt a surge of resentment in her bitter eyes. Once the guards had left, the woman sneered and walked over. "What’s your name? What did you do to end up in here?"
Shu He had just sat down to pour a cup of water, her mood still feeling uncontrollably heavy. Consequently, she couldn't be bothered to respond to the woman’s chatter. Seeing her aloof air, a hint of malice glinted in the woman’s eyes as she mocked, "You’re already locked in prison, what are you still acting so high and mighty for?"
