My Father in Law is Lu Bu Chapter 568

Chapter 568

The mountain continued to burn while everyone in Xiangyang watched.

“Milady. How about eating a little.” Head Jailer Song persuaded Lady Cai who is in prison as he offered her some food. He was treating her well due to her status.

“I don’t feel like eating.”

“If she doesn’t want to eat, give it to us!” The other prisoners said as they eyed the food that was too luxurious for a prisoner.

“Whats the point of feeding you? If you continue to make a ruckus, I will teach you the meaning of death!” The jailer replied. He was considerate towards Lady Cai but not to

The jailer then lowered his voice and whispered. “How can you not eat? At least eat a few mouthful if only for the child in your stomach.”

“Child?” Lady Cai lowered her head and looked at her stomach. “Alright. I will eat.” Lady Cai said and thanked the jailer softly.

Head Jailer Song smiled as he stepped back. He seemed happier than when he was the one eating food.

“Sigh. Head! Don’t tell me you are falling for Lady Cai?” One jailer said towards Head Jailer Song.

“What rubbish are you saying? Perhaps you have too much free time? If so, how about staying back to sweep the floor on your own?”

“No! No! My mistake! I admit my mistake!” The prison was large. He would die if he had to sweep the entire place by himself.

“But didn’t you whisper things to Lady Cai?” The jailer could not understand. Lady Cai was the First Lady so she had to be flattered. However, this was before she had fallen from grace. Now, Liu Biao treated her like dirt and she made Liu Biao a cuckold. She was no longer the First Lady and the day of her death was approaching. There was no need to flatter her.

“What do you know?” Head Jailer Song shouted back. “If you can think this much, go and sweep the prison or get lost!”

“Head! You…” This jailer never expected that the head jailer would not give him face at all. Although he was a bit angry at this, the head jailer did not seem to be joking around so he could only leave gloomily before the head jailer truly turned hostile.

Head Jailer Song shook his head as he watched the man leave. Lady Cai may be a prisoner now and have lost Liu Biao’s trust. However, it was not confirmed if Liu Biao would kill Lady Cai. Even if she is going to die, she was not a person that they could offend.

After all, Lady Cai was also the eldest miss of an influential family. The Cai Family were people that Liu Biao could not easily offend. Even if Liu Biao would allow this to happen, the Cai Family would not let them go in peace. That was why Head Jailer Song treated her well. He would not get into trouble with the Cai Family and Liu Biao would be unlikely to go after him just for providing food.

Just as Head Jailor Song was about to leave after confirming that Lady Cai was indeed eating, a jailer suddenly ran in.

“Head! Xiangyang City is on fire! The fire is huge!” The jailer shouted excitedly.

“How big is the fire? Why didn’t you quickly go and put it out?” The head jailer panicked as his family was in Xiangyang City. “Not good! I must go back home!”

“Head! Do not be so worried. The fire is outside the city! What are you worried about?” The other jailer stopped him. If the fire was inside the city, he would not have been so excited like he was at a festival.

“There is a fire outside the city?”

“Isn’t that His Highness the King of Shu? He left through the West Gate. That Lord Liu Pan must have chased after him and burned the mountain to capture His Highness. That Lord Liu Pan did such an evil thing. Who knows how many creatures on the mountain burned to death.”

“His Highness the King of Shu? What happened?” Lady Cai immediately dropped the rice bowl and asked anxiously.

“What does it have to do with you?” The jailer asked back after he was surprised by Lady Cai’s sudden outburst. He was also angry at Lady Cai since she was now just a prisoner and had no right to interrupt.

“Come. Tell the Lady what happened.” The head jailer ordered as he kicked the other jailer.

“Head?”

“I am telling you to speak!”

“Oh.” The jailer did not dare go against Head Jailer Song so he started to speak. “Wasn’t the King of Shu a deity? He flew out of the city but then the magic must have run out so he landed on a small mountain and got surrounded by the Second Lord, Liu Pan. This Lord Liu Pan want to force the King of Shu out of the mountain so he burned the whole mountain range. The sky is completely red.” The jailer exaggerated a bit. If Liu Pan had really burned the whole mountain range, even Xiangyang would not be able to escape calamity.

“Ah! Hanyang! Hanyang!” Lady Cai panicked. She already felt her heart hurt when she hurt his feelings. Now, this had to happen.

“Milady, do not worry. The heaven helps the worthy. I am sure His Highness will be unharmed.” Head Jailer Song consoled her.

“Huh?” The other jailer was shocked as he looked at the head jailer. “The King of Shu is an enemy. The Lord hates the King of Shu to the bone. If the Lord hears this, he would definitely kill this traitor.”
