The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

370 Unexpected

After telling him her secret, Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief. At least she didn’t have to hide it alone anymore.

She didn’t say much about her previous life. It wasn’t important anyway.

Song Jingchen was the opposite, even though Shen Yijia had repeatedly promised that she wouldn’t leave or go back.

However, he would wake up in the middle of the night for a long time in the future. Then, he would reach out to check Shen Yijia’s breathing. After confirming that she was still there, he would feel relieved.

He felt that a soul was even more difficult to catch than a demon.

It was like a puff of smoke, and he was afraid that the person in front of him would drift away from this body at any moment.

Shen Yijia had no idea what the person beside her was worried about.

Song Jingchen wanted her to recuperate in her room, so she didn’t go out. She read the notebook Song Jingchen had bought for her every day to pass the time.

After all, there were many people who had seen her seriously injured. It would indeed be suspicious if she recovered too quickly.

Apart from the little ones who came to talk to her every day when Song Jingchen wasn’t around, even Madam Li came to her room every few days to do embroidery work, afraid that she would be bored alone.

Due to the man in black’s targeting of Shen Yijia, Mo Yuan only suffered some superficial injuries.

Mahjong and the others were different from those death warriors. They did not have Shen Yijia’s abnormal physique. They were lucky to survive.

As for those who didn’t were unlucky, they were already dead.

There was no need for Mo Yuan to take care of Shen Yijia, so Song Jingchen arranged for her to treat those people’s injuries and arranged for all the injured to stay in the workshop.

Because they were so close, Shen Yijia could smell medicine every day.

The Song family, who had mysteriously disappeared, suddenly returned. No matter what the villagers of Xiagou Village thought, they all came to visit the next day to show their concern.

In the past year, the Song family’s workshop and flower fields had given more than half of the people in Xiagou Village a stable income.

Many people still remembered this kindness in their hearts. In addition, their family was about to return to the capital. At this moment, even a fool knew to try their best to befriend this family.

There were also people who asked when the workshop would start work again.

Madam Li knew what they were thinking and paid them the salary she had yet to give them. She only said that the house was in a mess and that they should rest for the time being.

Without the supply of fragrance powder, the shops in town naturally closed.

Although the villagers felt that it was a pity, they did not dare to have any objections.

Shen Yijia stayed in her room for ten days before Song Jingchen finally agreed to go out for a walk.

She didn’t go anywhere else and went straight to Bruiser’s house.

At first, Bruiser was also recuperating in the Song family, but when he woke up, he insisted on going home. Madam Li could not dissuade him, so she could only let him go back.

Speaking of which, Widow Wang had been implicated by their family. Lin Shao had initially taught Madam Li how to make incense.

However, business in the shop was getting better and better. Madam Li could not handle it alone, so the children went to school.

In the end, Madam Li discussed it with Lin Shao and taught Widow Wang. Madam Li wanted to help her.

The salary for mixing incense was naturally higher than for dealing with petals.

A few days before the accident, the two of them had taken on a business deal in the shop, so they wanted to work overtime to complete it.

It was because of this that Widow Wang stayed at their house.

Unexpectedly…

Shen Yijia stood in front of Bruiser’s house and knocked for a long time, but no one opened the door.

She frowned. For some reason, a plot she had just seen in her notebook appeared in her mind.

One of them chose to commit suicide because of a sudden change in his family.

Thinking of this, Shen Yijia’s eyebrows twitched. She took a few steps back and wanted to kick open the courtyard door.

Unexpectedly, the door opened from the inside just as she raised her leg.

Bruiser was stunned when he saw her.

Shen Yijia retracted her foot, suspecting that he had not heard the knock on the door just now.

Noticing Shen Yijia’s retracted leg, the corners of Bruiser’s mouth twitched. “Sister, why are you here? Didn’t Brother-in-law not let you out? Did you sneak out again?”

He asked three questions in a row.

He knew that Shen Yijia was seriously injured and had gone to see her, so he asked.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. Why didn’t he welcome her?

And what did he mean “again”?

He made it sound like she sneaked out of the house often.

Bruiser’s house was small.

Shen Yijia saw that the central room door was closed and glanced at Bruiser. “Are you going out?”

“Yes, my injuries have recovered.” Bruiser thought that Shen Yijia was concerned about his health.

Speaking of which, he still found it unbelievable. It was just a small pill that smelled like mud.

Putting aside the fact that she had pulled him back from the gates of hell, in just a few days, the sword wound on his chest had disappeared, as if he had never been injured.

Every time he saw that healed wound, he would wonder if his mother would still be alive if she had such a medicine.

However, he also knew that it was impossible. Shen Yijia had given him the last pill and he had almost died. Besides, Shen Yijia had yet to return back then.

“I know. I’m asking where you’re going.”

Shen Yijia felt a little uncomfortable. In the past, it was always Bruiser who asked her where she was going and followed her everywhere.

Bruiser gave her the feeling that he had suddenly grown up.

Bruiser pursed his lips. “I want to go to the county and buy a better set of gifts for my mother.”

Widow Wang was seriously injured when she was in the Song family. Not long after they shook off the men in black, she died.

Therefore, they could only bury her in the mountains for the time being.

His mother liked the hustle and bustle, so she definitely wouldn’t like it there.

Shen Yijia paused and asked him to wait. She turned around and went home to drive out a carriage. Madam Li was also in it.

Song Jingchen wasn’t at home today, so Shen Yijia definitely had to tell Madam Li when she went out. When Madam Li found out, she was worried that the two of them wouldn’t understand, so she said that she would go with them.

Actually, Madam Li had long wanted to tell Bruiser about this, but she was afraid that mentioning it would make Bruiser sad, so she didn’t say anything. She wanted Bruiser to calm down first.

The carriage swayed towards the county city.

Shen Yijia stopped the carriage at the entrance of a noodle shop. “Let’s go eat something first.”

Bruiser wanted to say that he wasn’t hungry.

Shen Yijia said directly, “We’re all hungry.”

“Do you want us to starve with you?” she thought.

Bruiser couldn’t refute that.

The three of them found a corner seat in the hall and sat down. After asking Madam Li, Shen Yijia did not ask Bruiser and directly ordered three bowls of plain noodles.

Bruiser had to observe the mourning period, so he definitely couldn’t eat meat.

As the boss, it was not appropriate for her to eat meat in front of him.

It was mealtime, and the hall was filled with people. They waited for a long time before a waiter brought over three bowls of hot noodles.

Shen Yijia pushed one of the bowls in front of Bruiser and urged, “Hurry up and eat. It’s five copper coins a bowl. If you don’t eat it, my mother and I won’t be able to finish it. Wouldn’t that be a waste?”

Bruiser asked, “Then why did you order three bowls just now?”

He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. His nose felt a little sour.

It was a habit she had developed in her previous life. Shen Yijia ate very quickly. After she finished the bowl of noodles, Madam Li and Bruiser had only taken a few bites.

She could see the main door from where she was sitting. She had nothing to do after eating, so she stared at the people entering and leaving the door.

Her beautiful husband had told her when he went out today that he was going to look for Fan Mingyuan.

This noodle shop was only a street away from the county office. Perhaps the two of them had telepathy and Song Jingchen had also come to this noodle shop to eat.

The people sent by Emperor Chong’an had long arrived at Anyang County, but Song Jingchen hadn’t returned yet, so Fan Mingyuan could only find an inn to arrange for the group to stay.

However, the contents of the imperial edict had long spread from the capital, so everyone knew why they were here.

A few days ago, because Shen Yijia was injured, Song Jingchen had never shown his face when he returned. To put it nicely, he was going to see Fan Mingyuan today, but he was actually trying to make his presence known to the people who came to the capital.

To let them know he was back.

Shen Yijia looked around for a while, but she didn’t see Song Jingchen. Instead, she saw two unexpected people.
