374 The Meat That Was About to Be Beaten Up (3)

“Huh?” Shen Yijia subconsciously touched her lips. She wanted to say that his brother was the one who bit her.

Without waiting for her to speak, Song Jingchen coughed dryly. “Let’s eat.”

Shen Yijia blinked and looked at Song Jingchen, then at Brother Hao, then at Madam Li. She glanced at the people at the table.

Apart from Madam Li, who was suppressing her laughter, the others all looked worried.

Shen Yijia suddenly remembered that Brother Hao had asked before. At that time, he thought that she had been bitten by a bug. Lin Shao had even prepared some insect repellent powder for him.

!!

Now that she thought about it, she felt that something was wrong. However, at that time, she and her beautiful husband had yet to…

Shen Yijia paused and narrowed her eyes at Song Jingchen. It turned out that he had already secretly kissed her back then.

Song Jingchen obviously thought of it too, and his earlobes gradually turned red.

He did not expect Brother Hao to jab his brother like this twice.

After breakfast, Song Jingchen went out, and the younger members of the family went to the courtyard to practice.

Shen Yijia brought Lin Shao and Furball to Bruiser’s house.

When she asked him to eat in the morning, he said that he didn’t want to eat, so Shen Yijia didn’t force him.

Bruiser was sitting in the courtyard in mourning clothes, with Shen Dali and Hei Zi.

Seeing her, Bruiser forced a smile. “Sister, you’re here.”

Shen Dali wiped his tears. “Grandaunt.”

The corners of Shen Yijia’s mouth twitched. “Did these two people get into trouble?” she thought.

She looked at Bruiser. “Don’t smile if you don’t want to.”

After saying that, she said to Shen Dali and Hei Zi, “I’ll have to trouble the two of you this time.”

She was the one who asked for their help.

They had already discussed this during dinner last night. She accompanied them to bring Madam Wang’s body from the mountains.

She was buried in the afternoon and they were going to treat the villagers to dinner.

Madam Li stayed at home to prepare a banquet. Mo Yuan helped out.

The two of them said repeatedly, “It’s no trouble.”

Shen Yijia was just being polite and did not say anything else.

When they fled, they were focused on shaking off the men in black. It was late at night, so Bruiser didn’t even know where they had run to.

He only remembered that the body was under a large pagoda tree.

Fortunately, Lin Shao was familiar with the mountains. He led them for two hours before they found it.

Bruiser did not ask for anyone’s help. He dug up the soil bag alone and wrapped Widow Wang’s corpse in a cloth before placing it in the coffin.

By the time they got home, it was noon.

Shen Yijia asked Lin Shao to bring Shen Dali and Hei Zi to their house for dinner first. She stayed at Bruiser’s house to accompany him.

Bruiser knelt in the mourning hall for a long time without saying anything.

Shen Yijia frowned and said, “Cry if you want to.”

Other than seeing him cry on the mountain, she had never seen him cry again. Shen Yijia was afraid that he would suffocate.

Bruiser didn’t say anything. He took out a golden hairpin.

The golden hairpin looked very important. Shen Yijia remembered that he had gone to the jewelry shop alone yesterday. He must have bought this.

Bruiser held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time. He said, “I wanted to buy it for her previously, but she kept saying that she wanted to save up money for me to get married. If she finds out that I’ve spent all the money she’s saved up for me, I wonder if she’ll jump up and scold me.”

Shen Yijia’s heart ached. She did not know how to comfort him. She pursed her lips and said, “Auntie Wang is always worried about you.”

“I wish she’d get up and scold me.” Bruiser’s eyes turned red.

He wiped his tears with his sleeve and stood up. He walked to the coffin and wanted to push open the lid, but he couldn’t.

Shen Yijia went up to help.

Bruiser put the golden hairpin in and suddenly said, “Sister, I want to go to the capital with you.”

Shen Yijia paused.

Without waiting for her to speak, Bruiser continued, “I know that those people aren’t the real enemies, and I know that Brother-in-law won’t let go of the person behind this, but I want to see it with my own eyes.”

Even if he couldn’t do anything, he wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Shen Yijia looked at him for a long time and patted his head. “Although you call me Sister, don’t forget that you’re my first underling.

“Which underling doesn’t follow their Boss? Even if you don’t say it, I’ll tie you up and bring you along.”

This was the truth. She had no intention of leaving Bruiser alone in Xiagou Village in the first place. Not to mention that Widow Wang was implicated by their family.

Even if he wasn’t, Bruiser was still under her protection.

Bruiser covered his head and took a few steps back. He looked at Shen Yijia with a red face.

Bruiser seemed to have returned to the time when nothing had happened.

Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief.

After noon, many villagers who had received the news spontaneously came to help. The coffin was buried before midnight.

She was buried next to Bruiser’s father. Bruiser said that although his mother kept complaining about his father, they were very close.

Otherwise, his mother would not have refused to remarry.

After dinner, this matter came to an end.

Madam Li asked Bruiser to move in with them. This time, Bruiser did not refuse.

Song Jingchen returned very late at night. Because of what had happened during the day, Shen Yijia was so tired that she fell asleep on the table.

Song Jingchen heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would have been worried that this girl would find another stick.

He picked Shen Yijia up and placed her on the bed.

Shen Yijia opened her eyes in a daze and vaguely told him about the day before falling asleep again.

Song Jingchen didn’t say anything.

Actually, the capital was even more dangerous than Xiagou Village. If not for Madam Li’s disapproval, he would have sent her to Xunyang.

Early the next morning, the eunuch who issued the decree came to Xiagou Village.
