The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

Chapter 309: Hubby, You’re Back

Arrows kept shooting in from outside the house, and the table was instantly pricked like a hedgehog. Ghost Face glanced at Doctor Chang.

Doctor Chang took the key to the secret passage from General Yan’s hand with trembling hands and followed his instructions to take down the painting hanging in the room. There was indeed a keyhole inside.

He quickly inserted the key and saw a hole suddenly appear in the middle of the ground.

Ghost Face knocked away the last arrow and put away the flexible sword. He carried the man down first. Doctor Chang hung the painting back in its original position and followed.

When he did not hear the sound of swords and arrows colliding, Nangong Huai sensed that something was wrong and asked someone to knock open the door.

There was no one else inside. He was so angry that he kicked someone beside him. “What are you waiting for? Find him even if you have to dig three feet into the ground.”

“Go, pass on my orders. An assassin has appeared in the city to assassinate General Yan.”

“I suspect that Father was also harmed by the same person. From today onwards, lock down the city gate. No one is allowed to approach. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without mercy!”

The people of the Imperial Court had finally left. While the citizens of Xunyang City were happy, they were also a little reluctant. After all, there were not many such suckers.

Most importantly, everyone could swindle them openly. It was not illegal.

Shen Yijia received a letter today. Looking at the person brought in by Mo Yuan, she tilted her head and asked, “You were sent by Ah Xun?”

She curled her fingers and did some calculations. Ah Xun had left for two months, but he could still get someone to send a letter. At the very least, it meant that he had not lost the game with his uncle.

Standing there was a burly man with a full beard. If he didn’t speak, it was easy to mistake him for a Central Plainsman.

He was stunned for a moment before realizing who Shen Yijia was talking about.

Then, he placed one hand on his chest and bowed to Shen Yijia. He replied in broken Central Plains language, “Yes, Chanyu said that he had sent you two letters before, but you didn’t reply. He asked me to definitely bring your reply back this time.”

Shen Yijia was stunned. When had she received Ah Xun’s letter? Why didn’t she know?

She looked at Mo Yuan, wondering if she had hidden it from her again.

Mo Yuan did not tell her that Liu Piaopiao had been ostracized a few days ago. She only found out about it when Liu Piaopiao came to visit.

Shen Yijia had asked Mo Yuan why she didn’t say anything about Liu Piaopiao’s situation.

Good lord, Mo Yuan said to her, “Miss Liu is indeed fine. She’s still alive.”

Shen Yijia actually felt that it made sense.

“It’s not me,” Mo Yuan said expressionlessly.

Shen Yijia rubbed her nose and muttered, “I didn’t say it was you.”

She couldn’t even doubt it for a moment.

Under the bearded man’s gaze, Shen Yijia decided to read the letter first.

Shen Yijia was familiar with the words in the letter, but the person who wrote it did not know the Great Xia language at first glance. Not only were the words crooked, but there were also many circles and crosses inside.

Shen Yijia frowned and tried her best to read the letter.

“Sister Jiajia, Mungido has already been… It’s all thanks to the medicine you gave me. He killed my father, so I killed him to avenge… I’m now the Chanyu of the Royal Court. Remember to come and find me when you have the time. I’ll definitely…”

“Remember to write back.”

“Well, I finally have a complete sentence.” she thought.

It was obvious from the letter that it was not easy for the person who wrote it. It was not easy for Shen Yijia to read the letter either. She read a thin page for 15 minutes, but she was still confused.

She scratched her head awkwardly and asked, “Do I have to write back?”

The bearded man immediately cried, “Chanyu said that I’m not allowed to go back if I can’t get a reply.”

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “What if I want to hit someone for making such an expression?”

She took a deep breath and held it in. The corners of her mouth twitched as she instructed Mo Yuan, “Go and get a brush and ink.”

“There’s no need. I’ve already prepared it.” The bearded man waved his hand to stop her and took out a set of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone from his bag.

It was quite complete. Was he afraid that she wouldn’t reply?

Shen Yijia gritted her teeth.

The burly man arranged the things and personally prepared the ink before handing a brush to Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia could only brace herself and take it. She pursed her lips and wrote two words on the paper.

“Well received.”

After thinking about it, she felt that it was too perfunctory, so she added a line of small words at the end. “Take good care of yourself. From the world’s number one, Sister Jiajia.”

Satisfied, she picked up the rice paper and blew on it. When the ink dried, she folded the letter and put it in an envelope.

“Aren’t you going to write more?” the bearded man asked tentatively. It was not easy for them to expect this reply.

“No need, no need.” Shen Yijia waved her hand. “Everything goes without saying. Ah Xun will definitely understand.”

The bearded man was stunned for a moment. He put away the letter and handed a box to Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. “Why did you bring a gift from so far away?”

Before she could finish speaking, the box was already in her hand.

The bearded man’s mouth twitched. The women of the Central Plains seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

Shen Yijia opened the box and saw the familiar pouch inside. Her hand trembled and she almost threw the box away.

Wasn’t this the damn ashes of his mother that he was talking about?

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “It’s better to give a few coins than this. Why doesn’t anyone understand me?” Shen Yijia thought. “I want a small sum of money.”

Moreover, sending ashes was too scary.

She quickly packed the box and was about to tactfully refuse this “big gift”.

The bearded man said, “Our Chanyu said that you saved him, which is equivalent to giving him a second life.

The pouch contains a tuft of hair from Chanyu’s head when he was born. For the Huns, giving this hair can best express our respect. You can use this to exchange for a promise from Chanyu.”

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “He’s really something. So apart from his fake background, this kid didn’t tell the truth from the beginning to the end, right?”

She gritted her teeth and said with a smile, “I heard that the men of the Huns advocate martial strength. Then you must be quite skilled. How about we spar?”

Wasn’t he on Ah Xun’s side? Since she couldn’t hit Ah Xun, she could only collect some interest from him.

Because she did not tell the truth about Liu Piaopiao’s situation, Mo Yuan, who had just sparred with her young miss, silently took a few steps back.

The bearded man did not understand why Shen Yijia had changed the topic so far, but he still nodded.

This woman must have some skills to be able to save Chanyu from the assassins sent by Mungido.

At most, he would go easy on her.

An hour later, a burly man with a swollen face and half-crippled legs came out of the Shen family.

When Song Jingchen returned from outside, it was already sunset. From afar, he could see the entrance of the Shen residence. A person and a tiger were sitting on the threshold.

His heart warmed. He quickly rode over, dismounted, and casually threw the reins to South Wind, who had returned.

South Wind hurriedly caught it.

Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. She stood up and smiled. “Hubby, you’re back.”
