There were handkerchiefs, pouches, and pearls scattered on the table. Yuan Yuwan instructed You Bai, “Put them all away.”
“Yes, my lady.”
You Bai felt upset. They said that they were here to give wedding gifts, but it was obvious that these things were usually used to reward servants.
Shen Yijia frowned. Apart from those elderly servants, Yuan Yuwan only had You Bai. She asked, “Do you want me to leave Mo Yuan with you for the next few days?”
“What?” Yuan Yuwan asked.
“My Mo Yuan knows martial arts.” Shen Yijia was afraid that Yuan Yuwan would not understand, so she said seriously, “I think that mother and daughter might want to exchange marriages.”
She was familiar with the plots in the book!
Yuan Yuwan was stunned. She smiled and said, “Don’t you think they’re stupid? To use a scheme that could be seen through so easily.”
Shen Yijia nodded in agreement. “It’s not scary to be stupid. What’s scary is if they’re stupid and poisonous.”
Xiao Ruoshui thought to herself, “Am I the only one who didn’t think of this?”
Yuan Yuwan also knew that there was no one useful around her, so she did not refuse Shen Yijia’s kindness.
What she did not know was that when Xiao Ruoshui returned home and told Xiao Qirui about this, Xiao Qirui sent someone to guard her house as well.
It was only after the incident between the Yuan family and Earl Rong’s residence was exposed that Xiao Qirui realized that he had almost pushed Yuan Yuwan into a fire pit. He couldn’t tell if he blamed himself or felt relieved.
As soon as Shen Yijia arrived home, she was shocked by You Yi.
She patted her small chest.
“Wait, why is You Yi back?” she thought.
Shen Yijia paused and looked at You Yi with a burning gaze. “That person appeared?”
You Yi nodded.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go.” With that, Shen Yijia ran out without even saying goodbye to Madam Li.
She had only taken a few steps when a gust of wind blew past her.
Shen Yijia stomped her feet. “Bring me along.”
You Yi flew back.
He stood in front of Shen Yijia and scanned her from head to toe, as if he was conflicted about where to grab.
In the end, his gaze froze. Without waiting for Shen Yijia to speak, he grabbed the back of her collar.
With a whoosh, he flew far away with her.
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “I’m going to get strangled to death!”
She had always been the one carrying others. When had she ever been carried like this?
Shen Yijia was so angry that her face turned red. However, You Yi was too fast. The wind rendered her speechless.
Shen Yijia could only curse You Yi’s ancestors in her heart.
She finally realized that You Yi was strong and obedient. His only flaw was that he was too one-track-minded.
Song Jingchen asked him to keep an eye on Feng Manman and return to report when he realized that something was wrong.
He really stared at her seriously. Then, as soon as he realized that there was a problem, he came back and said it. He never thought that he should have followed that person before returning.
The reason was that there were no instructions from the higher-ups!
Shen Yijia felt that no one would do such a stupid thing.
If he had followed that person earlier, he would at least have known where that person was going. He wouldn’t have had to wait for nearly a month.
He even made her wait for so long.
He was an idiot.
While she was thinking, You Yi had already brought her to a small attic opposite the noodle shop. From this position, she could see everything in the lobby of the noodle shop.
Shen Yijia did not forget what she wanted to do. She secretly made a mental note of You Yi.
At this moment, there was only a woman in pink sitting alone in the noodle shop, eating noodles. She didn’t see Feng Manman.
The woman’s back was facing them, so they couldn’t see her face clearly, but it wasn’t difficult to guess that she was young from her figure.
Shen Yijia waited for a while before Feng Manman came out of the kitchen with a food box.
She placed the food box on the table in front of the woman and began to clean up the tables, chairs, and benches in the hall.
Shen Yijia’s eyes flashed. “Go and find a food box identical to that.”
It was a very ordinary food box. You Yi returned soon.
After the woman finished eating the noodles, Shen Yijia vaguely heard her ask, “How much?”
Feng Manman wiped her hands on her apron and walked over. The woman took out money from her pouch and handed it to her. She left with the food box.
Shen Yijia thought for a moment and put a few tiles into the food box that You Yi had brought back. She urged, “Quick, let’s go in front of her.”
There were only two exits in this alley. After confirming the direction the woman was going, You Yi picked Shen Yijia up and flew to the corner of the alley.
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Very good, you’re dead meat!”
Shen Yijia staggered two steps before stabilizing herself. She took a deep breath and muttered to herself, “It’s more important to get down to business.”
She handed the food box to You Yi and said angrily, “Think of a way to change the food box in her hand.”
You Yi glanced at her faintly and was about to leave with the food box.
Thinking of his stubborn personality, Shen Yijia hurriedly reminded him, “Don’t let her find out!”
You Yizhi paused.
Coincidentally, the door of a family in the alley opened. A few children ran out playfully and bumped into the woman.
Without Shen Yijia’s reminder, You Yi had already attacked. In the blink of an eye, he appeared again.
Shen Yijia took the food box and opened it. There was a bowl of hot noodles inside.
You Yi was so fast just now, but none of the broth spilled out. With such skills, no wonder she could clearly feel the aura of death in the arena that time.
Shen Yijia carefully brought out the noodles. There was nothing at the bottom of the bowl. She checked the food box again but did not find any secret compartments.
She put the bowl back and fixed her gaze on the bowl of noodles.
“Miss, she’s coming over soon,” You Yi reminded her.
Shen Yijia frowned. Her beautiful husband had specially instructed her not to alert the enemy!
Thinking of this, she could only give up on the idea of stirring the noodles with her chopsticks. She covered the food box again and handed it to You Yi.
“Give it back to her.”
“We have to keep it a secret!”
You Yi was speechless.
With the food box in her hand, he was lucky to have been able to get it easily just now. Now, it was not so easy to change it back silently.
Perhaps because their luck had run out, the two of them followed the woman out of the alley and crossed a few streets. They did not find an opportunity even when they reached Chang’an Avenue and East Avenue.
Not knowing where her destination was, Shen Yijia was extremely anxious. She was afraid that they would not be able to change the food box back when they arrived.
Noticing that there was a mask stall by the roadside, Shen Yijia suddenly had an idea.
Da Hua had said that if there were no conditions, they had to create conditions!
She handed the food box to You Yi and instructed the two of them to split up.
Shen Yijia went to buy a mask and put it on. She walked around to the front of the woman.
She had originally imagined that she would bump into that woman and You Yi would take the opportunity to attack.
However, before she could reach the woman, the woman stopped in front of a teahouse.
Shen Yijia’s heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, she prepared to rush up to encounter her.
Unexpectedly, someone had already gone up.
“Please do me a favor. I haven’t eaten for three days…”
Shen Yijia turned around and stopped.
She looked back at the dirty beggar in disbelief and winced.
