Then, Madam Li talked about the family’s situation. The fragrance powder shop’s business was getting better and better. Naturally, there were also people who wanted to cause trouble, but any issues were all resolved by Fan Mingyuan.

After the snow disaster, the villagers of Xiagou Village had completely changed their temperament. In addition, most of their families had workers in the workshop and took good care of their family.

She even specially mentioned the Song family’s old residence. Song Dajiang and his wife had died after Song Jiayue returned to her hometown for the second time. Everyone guessed that they were angered to death by Song Jiayue.

Unexpectedly, Song Erlin, who had left the family with nothing, was called back by Song Dalin. The two brothers split the house amongst each other again.

It seemed that what happened at home had dealt Song Dalin a huge blow. Otherwise, he would have wanted those things to be his in the past.

However, the two of them were not lazy people. There was no one to cause trouble or burden them. The two brothers could still live their lives by supporting each other.

After reading Madam Li’s letter, Shen Yijia opened the thick letter from Sister Huan and the others.

There were four to five pages inside, and the handwriting on each page was different. It seemed that everyone had written one.

Shen Yijia briefly read through it. It was about some interesting things that they had done at home. They also bragged about their improvement in martial arts. Shen Yijia did not mind this. It had only been a month or so. How much could they have improved?

In the end, Shen Yijia finally understood what those people were talking about.

It turned out that Song Jingchen had written a letter to Fan Mingyuan after he left. He asked Fan Mingyuan to help choose an academy and send the kids to school.

Back then, because Song Jingchen’s legs were crippled and he knew that Qingping Town was too chaotic, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to take care of it, so he didn’t have such thoughts.

Now that Fan Mingyuan, the county magistrate, was around, there was no need to worry about that. That was why this arrangement was made.

The children were already used to being wild and didn’t want to study. They wrote this letter because they wanted Shen Yijia, their dear sister-in-law, to brag to Song Jingchen and help them plead for mercy so that Song Jingchen would retract his order.

Shen Yijia looked up at Song Jingchen, who was smiling faintly. She pursed her lips and stuffed the pages of paper back into the envelope, indicating that she wasn’t going to help them.

In the end, it was Xiao Ruoshui’s turn. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Song Jingchen didn’t read it with her. He went to read Fan Mingyuan’s letter himself.

Shen Yijia blinked. Actually, she did not mind her beautiful husband looking at her. Anyway, she and Xiao Ruoshui did not have any secrets.

This thought disappeared when she saw the contents. She looked up at Song Jingchen guiltily and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he wasn’t paying attention to her.

Xiao Ruoshui actually asked in the letter if the child in her stomach had grown up a little.

Well, it was her fault for not telling Xiao Ruoshui what happened after that.

That girl even thought that she was pregnant.

Shen Yijia coughed dryly and broke free from Song Jingchen’s arms. “I- I’ll go drink some water.”

With that, she ran out of the reception pavilion with the letter.

Song Jingchen looked at the tea on the table beside him and his face darkened. He regretted it a little.

Shen Yijia didn’t stay for long. Song Jingchen had just returned to his room to change his clothes and return to the reception pavilion when she returned.

When she returned, there was no longer any change in her expression. Shen Yijia coughed dryly and sat down opposite Song Jingchen. “Ruoshui said that An Xiu’er entered the Eldest Prince’s residence as a concubine. Shen Ruyun also went in.”

Just as Shen Pingxiu wanted, Shen Ruyun became the Eldest Princess Consort once she entered the residence.

Shen Ruyun was vain to begin with.

What Shen Yijia could not understand was why An Xiu’er wanted to be a concubine to the Eldest Prince.

If it were her, she wouldn’t be willing to share her beautiful husband with others. If anyone dared to snatch him away,she would retaliate.

Shen Yijia clenched her fists.

Song Jingchen didn’t know what she was thinking, but she looked like she was about to fight at any moment. He only said softly, “Everyone has their own ambitions. You don’t have to care about them.”

Fan Mingyuan had also mentioned these things in his letter. The Eldest Princess Consort had passed away from an illness. For the sake of the royal family’s reputation, Shangguan Pu should not have remarried in the near future. However, he had written the so-called last words of the Eldest Princess Consort.

In the letter, the Eldest Princess Consort claimed that after she left, she was afraid that there would be no one to take care of him and their children. She hoped that Shangguan Pu could marry a new wife as soon as possible to take care of him in her place.

To put it bluntly, this was a cover that Shangguan Pu had found for himself.

At first, he wanted to marry Xiao Ruoshui, but General Xiao had decided on Xiao Ruoshui’s marriage in advance.

Shen Ruyun was probably chosen because of the power of the Minister’s Residence in the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. After all, Minister Chen did not have any girls in his family. He only had Shen Ruyun as his granddaughter.

Shen Yijia put away her thoughts and hurriedly nodded. She didn’t say she wouldn’t allow Song Jingchen to take in concubines. If any woman really came to visit, she would simply chase them away.

If Song Jingchen wanted a concubine, she would beat the two of them up.

Then, she would kidnap Song Jingchen and bring him everywhere. She would keep beating him up until she found a man better looking than him.

Song Jingchen suddenly felt a chill down his spine and subconsciously looked at Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia smiled at him, revealing a row of white teeth. “When are we going back to Xiagou Village?”

“Do you want to go to Qilin Mountain to take a look?” Song Jingchen asked instead of answering. One Dot and the others had investigated Mo Yuan’s identity for a long time, but so far, they had only found out what happened after Mo Yuan appeared in the Peerless City. They had no way of investigating the past.

It was probably impossible to find out anything in the short term.

Shen Yijia tilted her head and thought for a moment before remembering that the map she found in the box left behind by the original host’s mother pointed towards Qilin Mountain. After coming here for a few days, she roughly knew the location of that mountain.

It was like a treasure map!

Her eyes lit up and she pushed the thought of returning to Xiagou Village to the back of her mind. “Yes.”

She then said, “I’ll write a letter to Mother and the others so that they won’t worry.”

Although she did not want to write, she had to be polite. Moreover, she could choose not to reply to everyone else’s letters, but she still had to reply to Madam Li’s.

“Okay,” Song Jingchen agreed.

The two of them went to the study again.

The night passed uneventfully.

The news of the Hun army retreating had spread to the capital within a few days.

Emperor Chong’an sat on the dragon throne and looked gloomily at the ministers who were silent. His face alternated between red and white.

Xunyang City had not been conquered by the Huns. The retreat of the Hun army was originally good news.

But now, it was like a slap to his face.

He felt that everyone in the world was laughing at him for being timid. He was so frightened by the Huns that he abandoned the city, but in the end, this city saved itself.

Without his support, the citizens of Xunyang City had defended the city themselves. Back then, he had given the order to abandon the city. He was really the biggest joke in the world.

If not for his status, he would have scolded those Huns for being useless.

However, as the emperor of Great Xia, he could not. He was supposed to be happy at this moment.

Emperor Chong’an’s face contorted for a moment. He said with a fake smile, “What do you think of this matter?”

As soon as he said this, Prime Minister Liu and the others, who had suggested abandoning the city, shrank back, afraid that Emperor Chong’an would hold a grudge against them.
