Song Jingchen carefully pried her hand away bit by bit and comforted her softly, “Can you accompany me in to change my clothes first?”
“Yes, change your clothes. Not only do you have to change your clothes, but you also have to take a shower.” Shen Yijia finally regained some rationality. She grabbed Song Jingchen’s hand tightly and walked home.
After regaining his freedom, Ma San fell to the ground. He did not dare to stay any longer and scrambled to escape.
A pair of brocade boots stopped in front of him.
“Arrest him.”
At night, the strong wind and heavy rain crackled against the window lattice. The candlelight swayed, illuminating the dim room, but it could not dispel the gloom in the hearts of the people in the room.
Although Ji Luo had already prescribed medicine for Song Jingchen to drink and made him soak in the medicinal bath, Shen Yijia still couldn’t relax.
She remembered that when a medicine boy was wiping the patient’s body, his veil was grabbed by the patient and pus and blood splattered onto his face. He was infected the next day.
“Don’t worry, I’m really fine.” Song Jingchen leaned against the headboard and looked at the person sitting by the bed with red eyes. She was so stubborn that she refused to sleep. His heart ached for her.
“Then why don’t you let me sleep with you? Haven’t we always slept together?” Shen Yijia pursed her lips, feeling so aggrieved that tears were about to fall at any moment.
Song Jingchen’s heart tightened. His heart felt like it was being grabbed by a large hand, and he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn’t breathe.
He could not even bear to let her frown. How could he bear to see her like this?
Song Jingchen sighed and compromised. “Then why don’t you move a soft couch in?”
He originally wanted her to sleep in Ji Luo’s room tonight.
Shen Yijia could tell that this was his last concession. Afraid that he would go back on his word, she quickly went out and told Ji Luo.
When she returned, there was already a soft couch larger than her on her shoulder.
She placed the soft couch two steps away from the bed and glanced at him. Seeing that he did not object, she carefully moved the soft couch closer to the bed and looked at him again. She only stopped when the soft couch was pressed tightly against the bed, leaving no gaps.
Song Jingchen wanted to laugh, but his heart ached. “Go to sleep.”
Shen Yijia lay down obediently on the soft couch.
The sound of rain hitting the window lattice and the shallow breathing of the person beside her rang in her ears. Shen Yijia turned around and faced Song Jingchen.
“Aren’t you going to sleep?” Song Jingchen asked.
“I can’t sleep.” Shen Yijia shifted and met Song Jingchen’s eyes. She suppressed the urge to roll into his arms. “Hubby, I want to talk to you.”
Song Jingchen looked at her quietly. “What do you want to say?”
“When this plague passes, I’ll give birth to a child for you. Well, it’s best to give birth to someone like you. When he grows up, you’ll teach him how to read and practice calligraphy, and I’ll teach him martial arts. What do you think?” After Shen Yijia finished speaking seriously, she added in embarrassment, “Mother wants to carry my grandson too.”
Song Jingchen smiled. “Alright.”
Shen Yijia was stunned. “What about the war between Great Xia and the Wu
Kingdom?”
She knew that when she returned to Great Xia, her beautiful husband would definitely go to the battlefield. If she was really pregnant, she wouldn’t be able to follow him.
“Don’t be afraid. With me around, I’ll protect you both,” Song Jingchen said.
Shen Yijia blinked and tried her best to ignore the uneasiness in her heart. “Alright, but what if I give birth to a daughter? Will you mind?”
The people here seemed to favor boys over girls.
“A daughter...” Song Jingchen deliberately pretended to be troubled. Seeing that Shen Yijia was nervous, he teased, “Daughters like you must like to cause trouble. In that case, I can only follow you and your daughter every day to clean up your mess.”
“I don’t like to cause trouble,” Shen Yijia muttered indignantly.
It was all because someone else provoked her first.
Song Jingchen thought about that scene and couldn’t help but chuckle. Seeing
Shen Yijia’s tired expression, his heart ached. “Alright, go to sleep.”
Shen Yijia was actually already sleepy. Previously, her heart had been tense because she was too worried. After being teased by him, she relaxed a lot. She fell asleep after a while.
When her breathing gradually stabilized, Song Jingchen got up quietly and covered her with a thin blanket.
Seeing that she was still frowning when she fell asleep, he reached out to help her smooth it out. He paused as he thought of something and was about to retract his hand when he was grabbed by a soft hand.
Song Jingchen looked over. Shen Yijia’s eyes were closed, and she was clearly still unconscious.
“Hubby, don’t go,” she murmured.
“Yes, I’m not leaving. Go to sleep.”
Song Jingchen sighed and carefully withdrew his hand before lying back down. He leaned against the wall and didn’t lie on the bed like before.
In the central room, Xuanyuan Ce paced around anxiously.
“What’s wrong with that brat? He actually let Jiajia sleep in the same room as him. What if he...
Realizing that this was inauspicious, he quickly swallowed it and changed his words. “No, no. I have to call Jiajia out.”
After taking two steps, she circled back. “It’s not appropriate for me to go. MO
Yuan, you go.”
The room was silent. No one paid attention to him.
Xuanyuan Ce frowned. “MO Yuan.”
“Heh.” Ji Luo sneered. “Are you saying that if I catch the plague, you have to stay far away from me?”
Xuanyuan Ce said anxiously, “How is that possible? I’ll guard you right by your side.”
“Then what makes you think that Jiajia will keep a distance from Ah Chen because of this? Don’t forget that Ah Chen did it to protect Jiajia.”
Shen Yijia was her daughter. Of course she was worried.
However, she knew that what her daughter wanted most at this moment was to stay by her husband’s side.
They shouldn’t separate them “for her own good”.
Xuanyuan Ce was speechless. He said guiltily, “I’m grateful to that brat, but
Jiajia is our daughter.”
“Xuanyuan Ce, remember this. You didn’t care about her in the past and didn’t do your duty as a father. She won’t need you anymore with Ah Chen around.” These words were very hurtful, but they were also the truth.
She had never said it before because she felt that she was the same as Xuanyuan Ce. She had never fulfilled her responsibility as a mother and had no right or position to blame him.
She could not hold it in today because she was already frustrated. Xuanyuan Ce tn hllnnnpd into hpr
Noticing that the blood had instantly drained from Xuanyuan Ce’s face, Ji Luo took a deep breath, stood up, glanced at him, and continued, “There’s no need for acupuncture treatment for your eyes anymore. Move back to your residence tomorrow. I’ll get someone to send the medicine packets you need to apply every day.”
With that, she turned around and left.
Xuanyuan Ce tightened his grip on his walking stick and looked in the direction of the door in a daze. “Ah Luo.”
Ji Luo stopped in her tracks and did not turn around. She brought MO Yuan straight to the pharmacy.
Shen Yijia did not sleep well. She had a long dream and felt that something very important was getting away.
At midnight, a soft groan sounded in her ear.
Shen Yijia suddenly woke up and turned around. She saw Song Jingchen with his back facing her. He was curled up on the side of the bed, his body trembling slightly..
