The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

428 Princess (2)

Shen Yijia tilted her head and grabbed Brother Hao’s hand to take a closer look. The words on it were reversed and not very clear.

After returning home, Shen Yijia asked Mo Yuan to bring the food box to the kitchen and entered the backyard alone.

On the other hand, when Song Jingchen brought people to find Shen Pingxiu, he was lying by the roadside. He was wearing a tattered sack, revealing only his head.

If not for the reminder of the person he brought, Song Jingchen wouldn’t have recognized him at all. He would have thought that someone had killed someone and dumped the corpse here.

Actually, he had only seen Shen Pingxiu once when he was picking up the bride. Not to mention his unrecognizable appearance, even Song Jingchen might not be able to recognize him.

His entire face was dyed red with blood. Through the torn sack, he could see that there were many scrapes on his body. The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched. This girl…

“Lord Song, this…”

Everyone present gasped. How much hatred was this? It was so cruel.

“He’s still alive,” Song Jingchen said indifferently as he retracted his finger from Shen Pingxiu’s nose.

The officials seemed to think, “It’s cruel because he’s still alive. Killing him would have been more merciful. Isn’t this your father-in-law? Why is your reaction so dull?”

Song Jingchen pursed his lips. Seeing that it was getting late, he casually pointed at a few people and instructed, “The few of you go up and see if there are any clues. I’ll send him back first.”

Those people nodded, thinking that Song Jingchen was in a hurry to bring them back to see the doctor. They felt that this attitude was normal.

Unexpectedly, just as she finished thinking this, their Lord Song picked up the sack and placed it on his horse’s back. He turned around and sat on it.

The officials were stunned. “That’s it? You should at least put on some clothes for him. Can’t you see that his bare thighs are exposed?” they thought.

Song Jingchen frowned at the person who was still in a daze and asked, “You don’t want to go back?”

The officials who were not called shivered and quickly got on their horses.

Then, they saw Lord Shen hanging from the horse’s back like a dead pig. He was jolted awake a few times along the way, but he quickly fainted again.

Only the few of them could see it outside the city.

There were too many pedestrians in the city. Lord Song specially slowed down his horse. They passed through the bustling Chang’an Avenue and stopped at the entrance of the Shen residence.

The news of the mistress reporting to the officials had long spread throughout the capital. It was no secret that Lord Song had personally brought people out of the city to look for him.

Even if one could not see the face of the person on the horse, it was not difficult to guess who it was.

It could be said that Shen Pingxiu had completely lost his dignity.

When Madam Chen heard the servant’s message, she rushed out to pick him up. When she saw the person on the horse, she pointed at Song Jingchen for a long time without saying anything. She staggered and almost fainted.

It was over. Their Shen family would never be able to raise their heads in the capital again.

Whether it was her, Wenbo, or Yun’er, they would become everyone’s laughing stock from now on.

“Madam Shen, I’ve brought Lord Shen back for you, but we haven’t found that thief yet.”

“If Lord Shen wakes up, please send someone to the government office to inform them if there are any clues.”

Song Jingchen cupped his hands politely and left with the servants of the Shen family.

“Quick, carry Old Master in. Also, call a doctor. Hurry up and call a doctor.” Madam Chen was in no mood to argue with Song Jingchen for the time being. After yelling the instructions at the top of her lungs, she walked into the residence.

She felt that countless people were mocking her just by standing at the door. This was the man she wanted to marry even though she would be the second wife.

After taking a few steps, she thought of something and instructed the nanny, “Send someone to find Wenbo. Go to Lord Jing’s residence personally and tell Yun’er not to come home for the next few days.”

Shen Wenbo was originally on duty at the Hanlin Academy. When he heard that Shen Pingxiu had been kidnapped, he personally brought people to look for him. He had yet to return.

The nanny beside her quickly made arrangements. The Shen family was in a complete mess.

Song Jingchen sent someone to the Jingzhao Residence to inform them before taking a carriage home.

Passing by the candied plum shop, he went in and chose some of Shen Yijia’s favorite candied fruits.

When he came out, he saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns opposite him. After some thought, he instructed South Wind to wait on the spot and walked over. “Bring me ten sticks of candied hawthorns.”

It was getting late. The vendor thought that he wouldn’t be able to finish selling them. He was about to bring the rest back for his children to eat when he saw a customer coming. He said happily, “Coincidentally, there are only ten skewers left. It’s a total of 50 copper coins.”
