463 Coincidental Encounter with Xuanyuan Ce (3)
Shen Yijia had clearly told them last time to get a better living s.p.a.ce. She did not know if it was because she could not find a house or because she could not bear to part with money, but Shen Yijia felt a little disgusted.
Wolfiporia and the other two were stunned, and so was Chu Feng.
The few of them looked at the ordinary sack in Shen Yijia’s hand in unison and suddenly felt that it was extraordinary.
The Shen family was in a mess. Shen Wenbo and Madam Chen were both unconscious when they were discovered, and Shen Pingxiu was lying sick in bed.
!!
There wasn’t even anyone in charge, and they hadn’t caught the thief.
The butler could only instruct someone to get a doctor. Whether they wanted to report it to the authorities or not would have to wait for Madam and Young Master to wake up and see how they arranged it.
Looking at the terrified servants, the butler sighed. It was unknown which immortal the Shen family had offended, but unlucky things happened one after another.
Xuanyuan Ce suggested sending Shen Yijia back to Liu’er Street. There was a carriage, so Shen Yijia naturally would not refuse.
The ice box in the car kept emitting cold air. Shen Yijia leaned over curiously. When the cold air hit her, her eyes lit up.
This thing was good!
Now that she had money, she had to arrange one for the carriage at home.
In the future, her beautiful husband would no longer be afraid of the heat!
She patted the sack in her arms, feeling wonderful.
Xuanyuan Ce frowned. It was just an ice box. How difficult was this girl’s life?
He thought of how many times Shen Yijia had gone to the Hidden Spirit Temple to catch free fish.
He felt inexplicably suffocated.
After Shen Yijia finished looking, she remembered that she was in someone else’s carriage and sat back down.
The cushions in this carriage were also very soft. She would also get them for her beautiful husband!
For a moment, neither of them spoke in the car. Shen Yijia had just received a large sum of money and was secretly thinking about what she should buy for Song Jingchen and the family. Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Ce was sizing her up quietly.
“I have a husband,” Shen Yijia suddenly said.
Xuanyuan Ce was stunned and did not understand.
Shen Yijia frowned. She thought about how powerful this person was. What if he s.n.a.t.c.hed her away like in the book and forced her to divorce her beautiful husband?
It seemed that it was not safe even if she said that she had a husband. She thought for a moment and added, “Although you’re good-looking, I don’t like old people. Even without a husband, I wouldn’t have followed you.”
She knew that this person had been peeping at her just now.
It was also a vexing thing to be too good-looking.
Xuanyuan Ce almost choked on his own saliva. What was this girl thinking? How could a girl be like this?
Afraid that Shen Yijia would say something treasonous again, he explained, “You’ve misunderstood. I just think you’re very similar to my daughter.”
Shen Yijia sized him up suspiciously for a long time, but she did not find any guilt on Xuanyuan Ce’s face. She heaved a sigh of relief.
Shen Yijia was not someone who could hide her thoughts. Xuanyuan Ce could tell what she was thinking at a glance. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. He reached out and opened the lid of the ice box. “There’s still fruit inside. Take whatever you want to eat.”
Looking at the various fresh fruits inside, Shen Yijia opened her mouth and was about to reach out when she thought of something and retracted her hand.
Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.
He picked up a grape and popped it into his mouth. He peeled another lychee.
After eating, she poured some ice water and rinsed her mouth. “Don’t worry, it’s not poisonous.”
He rarely ate the fruits in the carriage, but Chu Feng would still change them into fresh fruits every day.
Shen Yijia waited for a long time to make sure that Xuanyuan Ce was fine before taking a grape. She sniffed it before stuffing it into her mouth.
She grinned at Xuanyuan Ce. “I’m a weak woman. I have to be careful.”
“I don’t have anything against you!” she thought.
Xuanyuan Ce was dazzled by her smile.
Da Hua had brought her to eat lychees and longan in her previous life, but this was the first time she had eaten them in this world.
Shen Yijia peeled two of them and stuffed her cheeks. She sniffed uncomfortably.
She wondered how Da Hua was doing. Had she been captured and taken back to be sliced open?
She recalled the days after the two of them escaped from the courtyard. Because they were penniless, they had to rely on Da Hua’s superpower to eat and survive. In short, they had to steal!
She could take things from afar, so it was too easy for her to steal something.
Seeing that she did not put down the sack while eating, Xuanyuan Ce asked, “Did you just come out of the Shen family?”
Shen Yijia paused and nodded.
Thinking of what the Shen family had done to her, Xuanyuan Ce’s eyes were filled with killing intent. He thought of something and asked tentatively, “Did you spare him because he’s your father?”
Shen Yijia knew that Xuanyuan Ce had already guessed that she was the one who beat Shen Pingxiu up.
She pursed her lips in disgust. “No.”
“Then why?” Xuanyuan Ce’s heart skipped a beat.
Shen Yijia peeled a lychee and stuffed it into her mouth. It was meaty and small, cold and sweet. She shook her head happily and said without thinking, “Because death is too easy for him.”
