The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

493 Yuan Family (2)

Song Jingchen heard rumors about their uncle and nephew snatching a courtesan and having the same daughter. At the same time, he was afraid that he would dirty Shen Yijia’s ears.

“Why are you asking about this?” Song Jingchen asked seriously. “Don’t ask about their family.”

“Oh.” Shen Yijia agreed obediently. She thought for a moment and told him about Xiao Ruoshui’s brother.

Xiao Ruoshui was certain that Shen Yijia was not a talkative person who would tell her about the scandal at home. Unexpectedly, she told her husband about it.

If she had known that she would be like this, Xiao Ruoshui would definitely not have said a word.

Shen Yijia did not feel burdened at all. Her beautiful husband was not an outsider, so of course she could say it.

Song Jingchen knew that she wasn’t curious about the Yuan family, so he relaxed. He frowned and said, “According to my understanding, Xiao Qirui isn’t someone who doesn’t know what’s important and is willful.”

He used two words in a row, showing his surprise at this matter.

“Are you very familiar with him?” Shen Yijia was very puzzled. Logically speaking, her beautiful husband had grown up in the capital and should have many friends, but she had never heard him mention anyone.

Song Jingchen shook his head. “Not really. He’s a few years older than me. We’ve hunted together a few times.”

“Then who are you familiar with?” Shen Yijia was suddenly curious about this.

Song Jingchen found it funny to see her so eager and full of desire for knowledge. He coughed lightly. “No, your husband is too outstanding. I have no friends.”

He wanted to tease her, but after saying that, he felt a little embarrassed and the tips of his ears turned red.

However, Shen Yijia did not notice it. Instead, she nodded in realization. “No wonder.”

Then, she threw herself into Song Jingchen’s arms with a pained expression and patted his back gently. “Hubby, you’ve worked hard.”

It was said that it was lonely at the top. Just like in her previous life, as a hospital tyrant, she had fought countless battles and bled to obtain it.

Outstanding people did not need friends!

Song Jingchen was speechless.

A man’s low laughter came from the carriage. The passers-by could not help but look sideways.

South Wind stood awkwardly by the carriage, wondering if he should remind the two masters inside that it was time to get out.

Fortunately, this laughter did not last long. The curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside. Shen Yijia stuck her head out and thought of something. She turned around and asked, “From the conversation between Miss Yuan and her servant just now, is she also not favored at home?”

The word “also” made Song Jingchen feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this girl had already left the Shen family when she transmigrated.

However, when he thought about how this girl had not had a good day with him, he felt even worse.

“Hubby?” Shen Yijia called out worriedly when she saw his expression suddenly turn ugly.

Song Jingchen came back to his senses and explained, “Eldest Miss Yuan was born from the original wife of the Yuan family’s master. She was brought up by Old Master Yuan.”

Once, when Old Master Yuan drank with someone, he said, “It’s a pity that my eldest granddaughter isn’t a man. Otherwise, my Yuan family wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

He must have expected the Yuan Family’s decline at that time. His words were filled with helplessness.

When this sentence first spread, Eldest Miss Yuan had also been popular in the capital for a period of time. If not for the fact that she had an engagement early on, there would have been many people who wanted to marry her.

However, it did not take long for her to disappear. It was obvious that Eldest Madam Yuan, Miss Yuan’s stepmother, was involved.

“Then Xiao Qirui really doesn’t know how to cherish it.” Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks.

Perhaps because Eldest Miss Yuan’s background was too similar to the original host’s, Shen Yijia could not help but stand on her side.

Although she didn’t know how powerful Old Master Yuan was, someone who could support a family must be very outstanding. Therefore, she naturally thought of Eldest Miss Yuan as an outstanding person.

Song Jingchen rubbed her head. “Alright, Xiao Qirui can’t cancel this marriage just because he wants to. Don’t worry about others.”

What he did not say was that even if General Xiao could not dissuade his son and agreed to annul the engagement, with the actions of those people from the Yuan family, it would be unreasonable not to take the opportunity to ask for 100,000 or 80,000 taels of silver.

Therefore, the only person who would be hurt from the beginning to the end would be Miss Yuan. However, what did this have to do with him?

Shen Yijia thought that it was indeed none of her business and sighed.

The shop assistant at the copper shop was originally wondering which insensible person had blocked the carriage at his door for a long time. He was about to go out and ask her to stop further away when Shen Yijia came down.
