Chapter 248: Hubby, Don’t Be Angry

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Song Jingchen, who had never cared about his appearance, inexplicably had a ridiculous thought. Fortunately, he was good-looking.

He even wondered if this girl would have followed him to Xiagou Village if he wasn’t good-looking. The outcome was obvious.

A gust of cold air rushed towards her. Shen Yijia shivered and turned around.

Oh my, her beautiful husband’s face was so dark.

“Is Ah Xun good-looking?” Song Jingchen asked with a faint smile.

Shen Yijia was confused.

An autumn breeze blew past. Shen Yijia adjusted her clothes and blinked. She shook her head timidly. “No, you’re the best-looking.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. In my heart, my husband will always be the best-looking.” Besides, Ah Xun was about the same age as Brother Hao.

What if he didn’t look good? Song Jingchen pursed his lips and turned around. “I’m going back.”

If someone better-looking than him appeared one day, would this girl follow that person like how she had followed him back then?

At the thought of this possibility, Song Jingchen had mixed feelings.

Besides, demons didn’t age, but he did.

Shen Yijia did not understand why he seemed to be even angrier after she praised her beautiful husband. But shouldn’t she be the one who was still angry?

Seeing that Song Jingchen really didn’t wait for her, she puffed up her cheeks and quickly followed.

As the sun set, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, giving them a peaceful feeling.

Shen Yijia ran in front of Song Jingchen and turned around to face him. “Hubby.”

“Yes.”

“You’re the most handsome.”

“Yes.” The little liar had been staring at others just now.

“I like you best.”

“Yes.” In the past, she had always said that she liked him the best, but way more enthusiastically. She was indeed a little liar. She could be so sweet. Who knew whether what she said was true?

Shen Yijia tilted her head. “I only like you. Forever and ever.”

Song Jingchen stopped in his tracks and looked at the person whose eyes seemed to have stars shining in them. He asked seriously, “How long is forever?”

“In this life, the next life, and the next life after that.” It was a pity that she didn’t know her beautiful husband in her previous life. Otherwise, she could have added her previous life to the list.

“Okay,” Song Jingchen said after a while.

Seeing that he was finally no longer angry, Shen Yijia grinned. Unexpectedly, she was pulled into a familiar embrace in the next second. Before she could react, her lips were pressed against his.

Song Jingchen only stopped for a few seconds before letting go of her. Although there was no one around, his decades of upbringing still made him unable to do anything immoral in broad daylight.

Unfortunately, he had underestimated Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia looked at Song Jingchen with sparkling eyes. Sure enough, his ears were red again. She licked her lips. “I just thought of a way for you to make me forgive you for abandoning me.”

Song Jingchen’s eyelids twitched. Without needing him to ask for a solution, she said eagerly, “Kiss me every day in the future, and I won’t be angry anymore.”

Although she wasn’t angry now, he had to finish what he started. Most importantly, she could still benefit from this.

Song Jingchen thought to himself, “What can I do with such a shameless wife? Of course, I’ll forget about proper etiquette and just kiss her.”

There were three of them when they went out, but when they returned, it was just the two of them.

However, Ah Xun knew that the people in Xunyang City hated the Huns to the core. He usually stayed in his room and rarely appeared. Even their meals were sent directly to his room, so no one cared about him.

If nothing went wrong, the Hun army outside the city would retreat tomorrow, but what Song Jingchen wanted was not as simple as their retreat.

The two of them returned to the residence. Song Jingchen went to discuss something with Shangguan Han, while Shen Yijia returned to the courtyard.

The usually quiet courtyard was a little different today. A few women were gathered in a corner, muttering something. Even Mo Yuan stood there expressionlessly.

Shen Yijia pursed her slightly swollen lips and leaned over curiously. She asked softly, “What are you looking at?”

An old woman subconsciously replied, “I wonder who lost a dead rat here.”

“What’s so interesting about a dead rat?” she thought.

Shen Yijia stuck her head in. It was indeed a dead rat. There was more than one.

No one in Xunyang City could eat their fill. These rats were also starving. They were so thin. Could they have starved to death?

The woman who answered realized who asked the question and quickly turned around to bow. “Madam.”

Shen Yijia hated these people’s etiquette the most. She waved her hand and stared at the corpses of the rats. To be precise, it was the clothes under the corpses. Why did they look familiar?

The women noticed her gaze and one of them immediately went to find a broom. “Madam, go back to the house first. I’ll clean up this place immediately. It would scare you.”

“Wait,” Shen Yijia and Mo Yuan said in unison.

The two of them looked at each other. Shen Yijia asked, “Do you think you’ve seen that dress before?”

Mo Yuan said, “That’s the clothes Miss changed out of yesterday.”

Shen Yijia slapped her forehead. Wasn’t it the one that was wet with tea? Later on, Song Jingchen even forced her to go back to her room to change it. Because she was in a hurry to go out, she casually threw it on the ground.

Shen Yijia gritted her teeth angrily. Who was so wicked as to kill these rats using her clothes? She had only worn this dress once. Although it was prepared by the residence, it was clearly more expensive than what she usually wore. If she didn’t wear it, she could still exchange it for silver in a pawn shop.

The more Shen Yijia looked at it, the more her heart ached. She glanced at it one last time and turned away. “Forget it, forget it. Let’s pack up.”

Only then did the women realize what Shen Yijia was looking at. The corners of their mouths twitched. They were not frightened by the dead rat. Since it was a piece of clothing, their hearts ached.

Shen Yijia was not the kind of person who would suffer in silence. Moreover, this was her territory, so she was not afraid of causing trouble.

Shangguan Han had such a good relationship with her beautiful husband. What belonged to Shangguan Han belonged to her beautiful husband. What belonged to her beautiful husband belonged to her. Therefore, what belonged to Shangguan Han belonged to her.

Therefore, Shen Yijia felt that there was nothing wrong with saying that this was her territory.

Because Song Jingchen liked peace and quiet, there were only a few old women in the courtyard and a small kitchen responsible for boiling water and cooking. Shen Yijia eliminated the one who was frightened by Furball because she was too timid.

Moreover, she still hadn’t figured out why people did bad things. Was it to waste some perfectly fine clothes? Or did they want to scare her with dead rats? That would be underestimating her.

“Have you been staying in the courtyard for the past two days?” Shen Yijia asked Mo Yuan after returning to her room.
