Magistrate Jing frowned, unable to understand why this person was causing trouble again. Just as he was about to wave his hand to ask her not to meddle, the short official next to him spoke up, "What is it?"
"Sir, we are all women of the Shu family. Although our family has fallen into difficulty, we were once well-known ladies in Dong'an Prefecture. Even if we are being exiled, we still wish to leave with some dignity. At the very least, allow us to wash our faces and tidy up a bit before leaving Dong'an Prefecture. I implore you, sir, to grant us this."
Magistrate Jing frowned and instinctively refused, "Nonsense! Do you think it's the right time for that? By the time you all get ready, the sun will have already set."
The second miss's expression changed slightly as she pursed her lips.
She had her own ulterior motives. Although she didn't participate when the fourth miss and eldest miss spoke those words yesterday, one sentence from the fourth miss struck a chord in her heart. Among all the women of the Shu family, Shu Yu was the most beautiful.
That was also why, despite being like a transparent person, she still lived a difficult life in the Shu residence.
Apart from her, Shu Yu was the most attractive in terms of appearance.
Perhaps it was because the daughters of the Shu family all took after their father. Without careful grooming, their looks were rather ordinary. The second miss was the only one who took after her own mother, who was beautiful. That was why she became the favorite concubine of the Shu family's patriarch in the past, and she became the most cherished daughter.
The second miss was certain that if Shu Yu hadn't returned, she would have been the most likely sacrifice on the exile journey.
But now there was someone blocking the way, so the second miss felt somewhat relieved and decided to contribute to the situation.
As long as the escorting officials caught sight of Shu Yu's appearance, even if they had any thoughts, their gaze wouldn't fall on her.
People only care about themselves; they care not for others, even if it means the destruction of heaven and earth.
Moreover, she had offered her a way out yesterday, but she refused to take it. What could she do?
However, Magistrate Jing clearly wasn't willing. But the short official suggested, "Why not make a compromise, Magistrate? After all, this is the last opportunity. Who knows, someone as beautiful as her might catch someone's eye and find a good life. She doesn't even need to dress up, just freshen up her face."
The three officials present were all astute individuals, and they were aware of everything that happened in the cell, including what they ate, did, and said yesterday.
The second miss's words immediately reminded them of the fourth miss's plan.
The short official was affiliated with the Second Prince, and he despised the Shu family's support for the Third Prince. But he enjoyed watching the drama unfold and wouldn't mind if they created more chaos.
The narrow-eyed official, who was aligned with the Third Prince, involuntarily furrowed his brow upon hearing the Shu family's daughters' intentions. However, as he was the Third Prince's man, he couldn't express too many opinions during this trial to avoid stirring up further trouble, so he remained silent.
Magistrate Jing didn't want to agree, but the leading guards were under his command. With his instructions, they wouldn't dare to touch Shu Yu, even if she looked like a celestial being. So Shu Yu didn't need to worry about this.
After considering for a moment, Magistrate Jing didn't object further. He had always been indecisive in public matters, and this trial was dominated by the Second Prince's people running around.
