Chapter 347 - 347 Surprise (1)
347 Surprise (1)
To the drugged soldiers, it was like a dream. When they woke up, they saw corpses, and the ones who died were the people who usually trained with them.
After knowing the whole story, they felt another wave of fear. They almost wouldn’t have woken up again.
The Luo family had never thought of slaughtering these ordinary soldiers. They just wanted to control them and reason with them after killing Song Jingchen and the generals.
To put it simply, it was brainwashing.
!!
However, with such a misunderstanding, they no longer felt that Song Jingchen was bloodthirsty and cruel. Instead, they remembered that he had saved their lives.
All in all, it was a good thing.
Uncle Yang returned the day after the incident. He brought his men to transport everything back from the secret room.
Shen Yijia was not interested in these ancient books and let Song Jingchen deal with them.
She did not know what would happen to the Luo family in the end.
However, no one would pity the Luo family for doing such an ungrateful thing.
Because Du Huaiyu had let it slip, Song Jingchen found out that Shen Yijia had almost lost her life at the top of the mountain and grounded her.
Shen Yijia felt that she was in the wrong for running out after promising to wait for him at home, so she stayed at home obediently and did not dare to run around.
Of course, the reason why she was so obedient was firstly because her period had yet to pa.s.s. Secondly, the valley had been filled with the smell of blood for the past few days, so she did not want to go down the mountain.
However, she did not stay at home. This place was deep in the mountains and had abundant resources. Every day, Mo Yuan would take the time to go around and find some herbs. When Shen Yijia had nothing to do, she would deal with those herbs and learn some pharmacological knowledge.
It was not until Du Huaiyu came to visit her that she mentioned the Luo family.
Old General Luo had originally been unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of the silver that he had embezzled. Later on, he decided to reveal the answer, but he wanted Song Jingchen to let his second son off.
Surprisingly, Song Jingchen agreed.
The generals did not agree with this. What if Luo Yongchang harbored resentment and exposed this place to avenge his father and brother?
However, no matter how they persuaded him, they couldn’t convince Song Jingchen to change his mind.
Du Huaiyu knew this because she had accidentally heard her father discussing this matter with her brother.
Shen Yijia pursed her lips. Song Jingchen must have thought that Luo Yongchang was not a threat.
That was indeed the case. The day before the banquet, Luo Yongchang had actually gone to look for Song Jingchen. He didn’t do it for his own survival, but he knew his father’s stubbornness too well and didn’t want his father to continue making mistakes.
He also knew the consequences of this matter being exposed, but their lives had been given to them by Old Master Song. Now, he had returned the favor.
As for why Old General Luo had chosen his second son, whom he had always been dissatisfied with, instead of his eldest son or granddaughter, it was unknown.
“Young Madam,” Du Huaiyu suddenly shouted.
Shen Yijia looked up at her strangely from the medicinal bowl. Seeing that she was silent, she continued to pound the medicine.
She was wearing gloves that Mo Yuan had specially sewn and a mask. In her previous life, she had seen the old men in the research inst.i.tute wear them. She could make them with a simple description.
The reason why she did this was because after the itchy powder, she suddenly had an idea. She was mixing all the poisonous herbs that Mo Yuan had picked and drying it in the sun.
If anyone dared to provoke her again in the future, she would not let them off easily.
Du Huaiyu struggled for a long time. She thought that Shen Yijia would at least ask what was wrong so that she could continue.
In the end…
She hesitated for a moment. Thinking of what she wanted to say, she stood up with a red face and wanted to get closer, but Shen Yijia stopped her.
“Stay at the door and don’t come in. Otherwise, I won’t be responsible if anything happens.”
Du Huaiyu was speechless.
Shen Yijia sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, and Du Huaiyu sat at the door.
At this distance, coupled with the sound of Shen Yijia pounding the medicine, it was impossible for Du Huaiyu to speak softly.
However, it wasn’t easy for her to muster her courage. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to ask again if she didn’t ask today.
Thinking about how Young Madam had said that she was the only one at home today, and that no one would usually come here, she took a deep breath and called out again, “Young Madam.”
Shen Yijia looked up at her in confusion.
Du Huaiyu blushed. “Is South Wind married?”
