Sensing something, MO Yuan frowned. When she turned around, she saw Thirty Thousand standing at the kitchen door with a hesitant expression.
“Do you need something?” she asked expressionlessly.
Thirty Thousand scratched his head and handed over the thing hidden behind him. “This is for you.”
It was a hand warmer that was not much bigger than a palm.
MO Yuan glanced at him but didn’t take it.
Thirty Thousand was a little timid, but he still mustered his courage and explained, “You usually have to wash clothes and cook. Isn’t it cold now? You can use this to warm your hands.”
MO Yuan thought for a moment, took off her pouch, and stuffed it into Thirty Thousand’s empty hand before taking the furnace. “Thank you.”
With that, she turned around and walked out.
Thirty Thousand was stunned for a moment. He looked at the pouch in his hand and quickly said, “Young Madam has one.”
MO Yuan paused. She did want to give it to her mistress.
“It was customized by Master. I happened to be present at that time, so I ordered an extra one. I just brought it back today,” Thirty Thousand said awkwardly.
“Oh.” MO Yuan returned the hand warmer to him and took back her money bag.
“I don’t need this.”
Thirty Thousand’s heart shattered into pieces.
During dinner at night, Song Jingchen’s forehead throbbed as he looked at the stir-fried pig kidney with chives, and the goat penis and wolfberry soup in front of him.
“Big Brother, are you sick?” Sister Huan suddenly asked.
Song Jingchen rubbed his temples. “No.”
“Then why did Mother and Sister MO Yuan say that you’re weak?” She glanced at the dishes in front of Song Jingchen meaningfully.
Just now, Madam Li had specially reminded them not to eat those dishes, saying that they were specially made to nourish Song Jingchen’s body.
Brother Hao and Lin Shao looked at each other and couldn’t help but suppress their laughter. They thought to themselves, “Sister Huan is indeed a warrior. Can’t you see that Brother’s face has darkened?”
“Sister Huan, you’re a girl. Why do you have so many questions? Eat properly.” Madam Li was a little embarrassed. If MO Yuan hadn’t told her, she wouldn’t have known that her almost perfect son had such a problem.
As for how MO Yuan knew, she had secretly checked Shen Yijia’s pulse. There was nothing wrong with Shen Yijia’s body, so the problem was naturally Song Jingchen.
Shen Yijia looked at the strange people at the table. Sister Huan did not seem to be lying. Brother Hao and Lin Shao clearly knew something. She tilted her head. “Hubby, why didn’t you tell me that you were feeling unwell?”
Song Jingchen was speechless. He couldn’t eat this meal properly.
He put down his chopsticks and personally brought the special dishes to the kitchen to throw them away.
One Dot and the others were eating. When they saw him enter, they quickly turned their heads away and pretended not to see him.
Song Jingchen was speechless. Everyone knew that he couldn’t “do it”, but he didn’t know, was that it?
He glanced at MO Yuan coldly and placed the dishes on the table. “Eat them all.” One Dot and the others were speechless.
In order to prevent this from happening again, Song Jingchen still found an opportunity to tell Madam Li about the two of them not consummating their marriage.
Madam Li was stunned. It turned out that the grandson she had been looking forward to every day was nowhere to be seen.
After hearing Song Jingchen’s concerns, Madam Li sighed. “As long as you have your own plans.”
Song Jingchen knew how anxious Madam Li was to have a grandson. He
changed the topic and said, “I have some clues about what happened back then. I’ll make a trip to the capital tomorrow.”
Madam Li was stunned for a moment. When she realized what he was referring to, her eyes turned red. “Really?”
Song Jingchen nodded and comforted her. “Mother, don’t worry. We’ll be able to avenge Grandfather and Father soon.”
“Hey, this is a good thing.” Madam Li pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She was in no mood to think about grandchildren. She thought of something and forced a smile. “I’ll tell your father and grandfather now.”
The house was specially decorated with memorial tablets for Song Yi and his son. Song Jingchen accompanied Madam Li to burn some incense and sent her back to the courtyard after listening to her nagging.
When he returned to the room, she saw Shen Yijia packing her clothes.
He paused. “You’re going too?”
“What else?” Shen Yijia said matter-of-factly, “When the time comes, I’ll leave
You Yi at home. You don’t have to worry about Mother and the others’ safety.” She had considered everything. What else could Song Jingchen say?
Shangguan Pu still needed to use the emperor’s name to eliminate dissidents and stabilize his power. Song Jingchen wasn’t worried that the useless emperor would die easily.
Just as he had analyzed previously, the old prince was the witness whose life was in danger at any time.
However, there had been no news of him committing suicide for so many days. Song Jingchen was even more certain that someone wanted to reap the benefits, so he wasn’t worried that he would be silenced when he left the capital..
