The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

Chapter 351 - 351 Going Home

351 Going Home

Shen Yijia’s heart was hit hard. In the books she read, men and women on dates were always flirting with each other, but when it came to her…

Firstly, she got smacked. After that, she got lectured. Next, her “homework” got critiqued.

In the end, she concluded that Song Jingchen was an insensitive person.

Shen Yijia pouted while gripping her brush and was depressed for a long time. Then, there was the sound of knocking on the desk.

“If this brush breaks again, you’ll have to copy it three more times.” Song Jingchen buried his head in the drawing of the crossbow and reminded her coldly.

Shen Yijia shivered and almost lost her grip on the brush.

She glanced at the corpses of countless brushes in the basket beside her. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she continued writing.

This matter started from that night when Song Jingchen brought her to point out the mistakes one by one.

On average, there would be a mistake every three pages. Sometimes, there would be two or three mistakes per page.

God knew that she was clearly very serious when she copied them, but in the end, all the words grew crooked. Shen Yijia argued that it was all their fault for looking so similar.

In the end, she had to copy them again.

In order to encourage her, Song Jingchen even brought her along every day. While he was busy with other things, Shen Yijia copied her love poems from the side.

The two of them were truly inseparable.

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “It would be even better if I didn’t have to practice calligraphy.”

She had carefully designed a surprise. Not only was her beautiful husband not touched, he even cruelly punished her.

This was indeed Song Jingchen.

Shen Yijia wrote resentfully, pouting.

Song Jingchen looked up at her and a smile flashed across his eyes.

He could not bear to hit her. In order to teach Shen Yijia a lesson, he could only find another way.

This girl was not afraid of anything. She was only afraid of calligraphy practice.

“Wait a minute.”

A female voice came in from outside the tent. Shen Yijia’s ears immediately pricked up.

“It’s here, it’s here. The daily husband-chasing drama is here again.” she thought.

She secretly looked up at Song Jingchen and saw that he was focused on the blueprint. Her eyes darted around and she quietly put down her brush. She raised the desk with both hands and carefully moved to the side of the tent. She reached out and lifted a corner of the curtain.

So that she could see outside without being discovered by the people outside.

Not far from the tent, a man and a woman appeared in her line of sight.

“Miss Du.” South Wind looked helplessly at the person who had caught up to him and blocked his way. Ever since he heard Du Huaiyu’s conversation with Young Madam.

He was completely entangled with this person.

“Didn’t I tell you many times before? You don’t have to call me Miss Du. Just call me Huaiyu.” Du Huaiyu was a little dissatisfied with the way he addressed her.

The corners of South Wind’s mouth twitched. “That’s what you said. I didn’t agree to it.” he thought.

Du Huaiyu did not mind. She shyly took out a green sachet. “I see that you often stand guard outside the tent. There are many mosquitoes at night. I specially placed insect repellent herbs inside. You won’t have to be afraid with this.”

With that, she reached out to tie it around South Wind’s waist.

South Wind took a step back and avoided her hand. “Thank you for your kindness, Miss Du, but this isn’t appropriate. Miss Du, you should take it back.”

Du Huaiyu paused and looked at the sachet in her hand. She frowned and asked, “Do you think it looks bad? It’s my first time doing needlework. Make do with it first. I’ll make a better one for you next time.”

In the past, she did not like needlework. Besides, it was more practical to know some kung fu in this mountain pass than needlework, so no one forced her to learn it. She had asked her mother to teach her at the last minute.

South Wind realized that this girl’s comprehension ability might not be very good. Was he complaining about whether the sachet looked good? He was clearly saying that this gift was inappropriate.

Du Huaiyu was still nagging about how difficult it was to make this sachet. From picking herbs to drying herbs to choosing fabrics…

She didn’t notice South Wind’s expression at all.

Du Huaiyu’s back was facing the tent. Shen Yijia could only hear her voice, but she could clearly see the change in South Wind’s expression.

She couldn’t help but snicker. Du Huaiyu was an impressive person.

She was about to look away when she inadvertently saw two people walking in their direction.

The expressionless Mo Yuan and Thirty Thousand.

Shen Yijia was speechless. What was wrong with this world?

A gust of wind blew in through the gap. Shen Yijia realized that it was spring.

“Ahem.”

A light cough came from behind. Shen Yijia lowered the tent curtain and pretended to write seriously.

After she finished writing, she didn’t hear Song Jingchen nagging at her. She secretly looked up.

She met Song Jingchen’s half-smile.

Shen Yijia immediately grinned and obediently moved the table back to its original position. Indeed, one could not do anything wrong. Otherwise, she would have to act meekly.

Song Jingchen arranged the follow-up matters of the Qilin Army and led his men into the cave to redesign the mechanism before leaving the Qilin Mountain with Shen Yijia.

Du Huaiyu originally wanted to follow, but General Du didn’t agree. Coupled with South Wind’s cold attitude, she finally stayed behind.

When Shen Yijia left, she saw that her eyes were red.

“Some things can’t be forced,” Song Jingchen suddenly said.

Shen Yijia paused. She was just wondering if it was because of her words that Du Huaiyu refused to give up.

If it was really because of her, it would be a sin.

Du Huaiyu had lived in the mountains since he was young. Even though she had been at odds with Luo Yunying for more than ten years, she only rolled her eyes at Luo Yunying when they met.

Overall, she was still very innocent. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been easily lured away and gotten knocked out at Peach Blossom Cliff.

Perhaps it was indeed best for her to stay in the mountains. After all, it was too dangerous outside.

Previously, she did not think so. Now that she was really going home, Shen Yijia finally understood what it meant to be eager to go home.

She had earned money to build every brick and tile in Xiagou Village, so she naturally felt the strongest sense of belonging there.

She didn’t forget to buy gifts for the family.

Apart from some cloth, she still bought dazzling gold jewelry for Madam Li. In Shen Yijia’s opinion, compared to those cold jade jewelry, gold naturally looked more grand. If she wore it on her head usually, she could directly break off a piece and use it as money.

Killing two birds with one stone.

As for the younger ones, it was rare for her to have a conscience. She did not buy any brushes, inkstones, or paper. Instead, she chose a dagger for each of them. Those daggers were said to be able to cut through iron like mud.

The handles of the five daggers were all golden, and there was a sparkling gem embedded in them. They were simply to her liking.

In fact, when she left the Qilin Mountain, she had picked out a few sets of boxes from the secret room. There was no need to waste money to buy them.

Apart from the half box of books that Song Jingchen had left for him, they were all sent to various shops for sale.

The ancient books were different from the other items. They could not be taken out all at once, and people might not be able to afford them.

However, Shen Yijia was not in a hurry. She still had a few hundred taels of silver from Song Jingchen, so she was not short of money for the time being.

In order to travel discreetly and to make Shen Yijia less tired, Song Jingchen asked Uncle Yang to prepare two carriages in advance.

He shared a carriage with Shen Yijia, and the other carriage was specially prepared for Furball.

Furball thought to itself, “As expected, the male owner is the best. I had to rely on my four legs when I came here.”
