How could Song Jingchen not know what she was planning? The corners of his mouth twitched and he said coldly, “No.”
Shen Yijia was speechless.
Because she had to brew medicine for Fan Mingyuan, she would basically drip a drop of spiritual liquid into the well by the kitchen every half a month. They usually used the same water to cook inside. The family was extremely healthy, but it was not so easy to fall sick.
Moreover, Shen Yijia had a special physique, but Song Jingchen was nervous for her.
“Ahem.”
A sudden cough sounded from the side. The couple seemed to have just remembered that there was someone else beside them and turned around at the same time.
A calm face, and a disdainful one.
Xiao Qirui clenched his fists and coughed for a long time before calming down. He said awkwardly, “I’m… sorry.”
At the same time, he was shocked. He didn’t expect Song Jingchen to be like this in private.
What surprised him even more was that husband and wife could interact like this.
When the rough men in the military camp talked about the ways of husband and wife, they could not avoid saying some dirty words. At the time, he usually walked away.
The only couple he had seen and was most familiar with were his parents.
In his vague memories, his parents’ relationship was better than his.
However, that was only when his father was practicing the sword and his mother handed him a handkerchief, or personally washed her hands to make soup, or made new clothes for him.
His father would give his mother some toys from time to time to make her happy.
He felt that this was how a couple should interact.
Unfortunately, everything changed after there was a new person in General Xiao’s backyard.
The more women there were in the backyard, the further away his parents were from each other. Apart from talking about the siblings, the couple basically didn’t speak.
He saw all the changes in the two of them.
However, as a son, he had no right to criticize his father. He could only secretly decide that if he married the woman he loved in the future, he would never take a concubine.
These memories that had long been sealed surged out like a flood.
Xiao Qirui’s body swayed as if he had been hit in the head.
When did things start to fall out of his control?
“Young Master, Young Master…” Xiao Li quickly supported him.
Xiao Qirui came back to his senses.
“I said, quickly drink the ginger soup. After that, quickly go home. Sister Yuwan said that she doesn’t want to see you.” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes.
Why did he come out to make trouble when he was not in good health?
She originally wanted to say “get lost”, but on account of Xiao Ruoshui, she changed her words.
Shen Yijia sighed at how kind she was.
Xiao Qirui glanced at the ginger soup in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
If he didn’t drink it, he was afraid that he would collapse before he even saw Yuan Yuwan.
Shen Yijia trembled and silently handed over the bowl she had yet to drink.
Xiao Qirui was stunned.
Song Jingchen glanced at her coldly.
Shen Yijia silently retracted her hand and said angrily, “You’re done drinking, now leave.”
Xiao Qirui pursed his lips and pushed Xiao Li away. He bowed solemnly to Shen
Yijia. “Can you let me in to see her?”
“No, absolutely not, don’t even think about it.” Shen Yijia refused without thinking.
Xiao Qirui did not speak and maintained his bow.
Shen Yijia was speechless.
“What? Are you trying to force me into prostitution?”
Song Jingchen coughed. “That’s not how you use that word.”
Shen Yijia did not care. In any case, it was fine as long as the meaning was similar. It meant forcing others to do something they did not want to do. Song Jingchen thought to himself, “That’s far from it.”
He looked at Xiao Qirui and said, “Miss Yuan injured her throat and can’t speak.
Moreover, she needs to recuperate now. Come again another day.”
Xiao Qirui’s heart tightened and he looked up abruptly. “Then she…”
“It’s fine. She’ll be fine after resting for a while,” Song Jingchen said.
Xiao Qirui pursed his lips and stood up. “Then I’ll come back tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of my wife.”
“You’re not allowed to come tomorrow either!” Shen Yijia roared at his back.
She was stunned when she noticed something.
Xiao Qirui was originally dressed in white, but his back was already dyed red with blood.
Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows. The reason why Xiao Qirui was sent away by him with a few words was probably because he sensed his situation.
At Lord Jing’s residence.
Shangguan Pu combined the two tiger talismans in his hand.
The uneasiness in his heart disappeared at this moment, replaced by a determination to get that position.
“Congratulations, Your Highness.” The advisor heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, he was risking his life for his future. He naturally hoped that Shangguan Pu would succeed..
