The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

Chapter 339 - 339 What’s Going On?

339 What’s Going On?

After what happened yesterday, Song Jingchen specially waited for Shen Yijia to wake up before bringing her to the military camp.

When they passed by the training grounds, Shen Yijia met Luo Yunying’s gaze.

Shen Yijia paused and blinked. She gave her a sweet smile and gestured at her with her fist.

Luo Yunying was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly. Her fingertips turned white, but she could only watch as the person she had been thinking about brought that little b*tch into the tent.

!!

“Young Madam is really good-looking. No wonder Eldest Young Master brings her wherever he goes. Some people should stop dreaming.”

However, at this moment, a gloating voice came from the side. The two of them had been at odds for so many years that Luo Yunying didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.

She resisted the urge to stab the person with her spear and scolded in a low voice, “Du Huaiyu, stop slandering me.”

A round-faced girl standing beside her rolled her eyes. Did she really think everyone was a fool? Who didn’t know what she was thinking? She dared to do it but didn’t dare to admit it. What a coward.

Shen Yijia was smug all the way. When Song Jingchen placed a pile of ledgers in front of her, she was dumbfounded.

“What are we doing?” Shen Yijia pretended to be stupid and asked innocently.

Song Jingchen glanced at her and sighed. “The Luo family has always been in charge of the purchases here. You know that the Luo family can’t be trusted anymore. They bought such a big piece of land.”

“You’re saying that it’s very likely that they’re corrupt?” Shen Yijia’s eyes widened. She knew that so many people here were supported by the Song family with money. Even if something happened to the Song family, those shops had been operating.

They lived off the Song family. The Song family had saved their life, but now, they were plotting against the descendants of the Song family.

Shen Yijia really wanted to ask her grandfather, whom she had never seen before, if he could save such a heartless family.

Song Jingchen nodded. “So these accounts need to be checked again. If we can find evidence…”

He paused again. Shen Yijia did not discover any problems. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She took over his words and said excitedly, “We can bring them to justice.”

Song Jingchen said, “Yes.”

With that, he picked up a ledger and placed it in front of Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia paused and tilted her head. “So?”

“There are too many accounts for me to handle alone, but I can’t trust the others.” After saying that, Song Jingchen lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

“Who are you making that face for?” Shen Yijia thought.

She puffed out her cheeks. “It’s fine. There’s still…”

Before she could say Mo Yuan’s name, the tent curtain was lifted and Thirty Thousand and South Wind carried in two large wooden boxes stacked on top of each other.

She opened it and saw that it was filled with ledgers.

Immediately after, a few more soldiers carried in three desks. This was great. Mo Yuan, Thirty Thousand, and South Wind were all there, and each of them had a table.

When she met Song Jingchen’s face, Shen Yijia’s lips twitched. “Don’t you still have me?”

Song Jingchen held back his laughter and held her hand. “Then I’ll have to thank you.”

Shen Yijia was dizzy. “It’s nothing.”

Song Jingchen’s bluff made Shen Yijia follow him and look through ledgers for three days.

In the past three days, apart from going through the accounts, Song Jingchen didn’t care about anything else. He still handed over all the matters to the other five people. There didn’t seem to be any changes, but Old General Luo felt uneasy.

It was not until the accounts were sent back three days later and Song Jingchen didn’t say anything that Old General Luo heaved a sigh of relief.

“It seems that Eldest Young Master didn’t see anything in the account book. Father, don’t worry.” Luo Yongsheng comforted him.

Old General Luo sighed. “I always feel uneasy. I thought that with the old master gone, we could use this opportunity to lead everyone out of the mountains and directly rebel against that bastard emperor. At that time, not only can our Luo family return to the royal court, but we can also avenge your mother and sister and the 105 people of our Luo family.”

“I didn’t expect Eldest Young Master to send someone with the surname Yang to stop us. If not for that, why would we have the intention of establishing a new sect?”

Whether it was fighting a war or recruiting troops, money was needed. Where did this money come from? Naturally, they could only tamper with the purchases.

As for the troops, he was not worried. Ever since Emperor Chong’an ascended the throne, he had been muddle-headed. The commoners had long been filled with complaints. Coupled with Old Master Song’s reputation when he was alive, as long as he took revenge for him, the people would support him.

In his opinion, the Song family was stupid. They had even forgotten about their family feud for the sake of the commoners. If Song Jingchen was willing to work with him, he would have respected him as his master. There wouldn’t be so many negative things happening now.

“Those people refused to listen to Father because of Eldest Young Master. No one would really be willing to stay in such a place for the rest of their lives. There’s no man who doesn’t want to make contributions and make a name for himself. They’ll be rewarded with high positions and change their sects,” Luo Yongsheng said in a low voice.

“What are you suggesting?”

“They lack a reason, so we’ll give them a reason. There are obstacles blocking the way ahead, so we’ll help them move the obstacles.”

Old General Luo’s gaze froze. Since the Song family could not stand on his side, he could not be blamed for being ruthless.

After being captured and forced to work hard for three days, Shen Yijia was no longer willing to go to the military camp. Song Jingchen didn’t force her either. He rubbed her head and reminded her, “Be careful. No matter where you go, remember to get Furball and Mo Yuan follow you.”

Shen Yijia nodded meekly. After Song Jingchen left, she covered herself with the blanket and continued to sleep in.

In order to quickly finish checking the accounts, she did not dare to sleep in for the past few days.

She slept until she heard voices in the courtyard.

“Mo Yuan, I know you’re angry, but we can’t kill those people just because they gossiped about Young Madam. We should report this matter to Master first. Master will definitely stand up for Young Madam. He has to agree to take in concubines himself!”

It was Thirty Thousand’s voice.

Hearing her name being mentioned, Shen Yijia opened her eyes. She wanted to listen carefully, but all she could hear were loud noises from outside. Even if there were voices, they were drowned out.

She blinked. “Are they fighting?” she thought.

This small courtyard could not withstand their attacks. Shen Yijia quickly got up and put on her clothes.

When she opened the door, she saw that Mo Yuan and Thirty Thousand were fighting fiercely.

Perhaps fighting wasn’t the right word. It was Mo Yuan who chased after Thirty Thousand while he kept dodging, and he tripped over many things in the courtyard.

“Stop!” Shen Yijia shouted. At the same time, there was a bang.

The water vat that was filled with water in a corner of the courtyard was broken by Mo Yuan’s kick. The water inside flowed out and quickly wet the small courtyard.

Looking at the broken vat so close to him, Thirty Thousand patted his chest in fear.

Shen Yijia was speechless.

If she had come out a little later, would the two of them have torn down this courtyard?

“Tell me, what happened?”
