Song Jingchen shook his head helplessly as he looked at the person who was still excitedly mocking Lord Jing’an’s poor health a moment ago and snoring in the next second.
“Silly girl, he’s not weak. He said that because he loves his daughter.”
He carefully tucked Shen Yijia in and glanced at the small bag in her arms. He reached out to help her take it away, but Shen Yijia smacked her lips and muttered in a muffled voice.
“That’s a lot of money. I can take care of more husbands. Hehe.”
Song Jingchen’s face darkened. He pinched her face gently. “Isn’t it enough to raise one? Why would you want more?”
Shen Yijia turned around and continued sleeping, hugging the bag in her arms even more tightly.
Song Jingchen smiled. It seemed that he had to work hard to be a pretty boy who spent money like water in the future.
The next day, the blue sky was clear. After a simple breakfast, the team set off on time. After traveling for five days, the group finally left the cliff ridge.
These soldiers had been transferred from the border army by Xuanyuan Ce. Logically speaking, he should have personally given an explanation for so many injuries. However, he waved his hand and only let Chu Feng deal with them. He followed behind Shen Yijia and the others shamelessly.
“Is he afraid that we’ll sneak away?” Shen Yijia whispered in Song Jingchen’s ear.
A smile flashed across Song Jingchen’s eyes. He shook his head and didn’t say anything.
Before dark, the carriage entered Phoenix Town and finally stopped in front of the small courtyard where Xuanyuan Ce was staying.
The person who opened the door was still the old man with the disabled legs.
“Master, you’re back. ”
After bowing, the old man was about to retreat and make way when he saw Ji Luo, who was being supported by MO Yuan. He suddenly became excited and said in a trembling voice, “Madam?”
Shen Yijia was stunned. Only then did she realize that something was wrong with Ji Luo’s expression.
She pulled a long face and said, “What Madam? You’ve got the wrong person.” Even if the man had seen her mother in the past, she was still wearing a veil.
“No, I won’t be mistaken. Madam saved my life. I won’t be mistaken on this matter.” As he spoke, he knelt down shakily. “Madam, I’m Old Ji.”
Ji Luo said indifferently, “Uncle Ji, get up first.”
“I didn’t expect to see Madam again in my lifetime. I’m so happy.” Uncle Ji wiped his tears and looked up to realize that the atmosphere seemed to be a little off.
Shen Yijia understood now. Uncle Ji called Xuanyuan Ce “Master” and her mother “Madam”. So this small courtyard was where the two of them used to live?
It might even be the place where they fell in love!
Wasn’t this exposing her mother’s scars?
She glared at Xuanyuan Ce and suspected that he had brought them here on purpose. She pursed her lips and suggested, “I remember that there’s nothing in this courtyard. Why don’t we stay in an inn?” Xuanyuan Ce felt wronged. Was he that kind of person?
“No need,” Ji Luo said.
Xuanyuan Ce heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ah Luo did not misunderstand him. “This is my courtyard to begin with.” Shen Yijia was speechless.
Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.
Bang.
The courtyard door closed. Xuanyuan Ce stood outside the door in a daze for a long time.
Was he being rejected?
Across the wall, Shen Yijia held her stomach and laughed.
Ji Luo and Xuanyuan Ce had indeed lived in this courtyard for a while, but Ji Luo had bought it.
A man and a woman living alone together. Even if the two of them were doctor and patient at that time, it was easy to misunderstand.
Coupled with the fact that Ji Luo was magnanimous at that time and took advantage of Xuanyuan Ce’s looks, she did not correct him.
Later on, their relationship broke down. When Ji Luo left the Xuanyuan Kingdom, he naturally wouldn’t specially come to explain. Uncle Ji had always thought that the two of them were husband and wife. Since his Young Master was coming to stay, how could he chase him away?
Now, it seemed that it was not what he had thought at all. Thinking about how he had let an outsider stay for half a month every year when Madam was not around, Uncle Ji’s body trembled.
Fortunately, Madam did not blame him.
“Will he be fine?” Lin Miaomiao asked softly. She felt that the good-looking uncle was a little pitiful.
Shen Yijia paused and rubbed her head. “Don’t worry, he’s an adult, not a child.
What could have happened?”
Lin Miaomiao nodded obediently and stopped asking.
The last time they came and went in a hurry, they did not take a good look at this courtyard. Uncle Ji brought them around and Shen Yijia realized that although this courtyard was small, it was complete..
