Chapter 340 - 340 Arrest
340 Arrest
A few days ago, Mo Yuan said that she would help Shen Yijia make a piece of skin and paste it on her forehead to cover the buds. In the end, she was not satisfied with a few pieces she had made in the past few days.
She thought that she could make a potion and hide it. She went to the mountain early in the morning to look for medicine.
Thirty Thousand wasn’t brought to the military camp by Song Jingchen, so he followed Mo Yuan into the mountain.
Nothing had happened, but when the two of them pa.s.sed by the river on their way back, they heard a few women gossiping about Shen Yijia.
!!
When Mo Yuan heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to go up and kill someone. She was dragged back by Thirty Thousand, and then what Shen Yijia saw happened.
“What did they say?” Shen Yijia asked.
Mo Yuan remained silent.
Shen Yijia looked at Thirty Thousand.
Thirty Thousand opened his mouth for a long time, not knowing what to say. When Shen Yijia glared at him, he deliberated and said, “He said that Young Madam, you’re a vixen. You seduce Master all day long and bring him wherever he goes.”
Shen Yijia frowned. A few days ago, those ladies had praised her for being a fairy. Why had she become a vixen again?
“That’s it?” At this level, Mo Yuan shouldn’t have killed anyone.
Thirty Thousand shut his mouth and nodded desperately.
The Young Madam that those women were talking about looked delicate and weak. There were also dirty words about s.e.x. He did not dare to say them even if they were relayed to him.
If he said anything, even if Young Madam didn’t do anything to him, Master wouldn’t let him off.
Just thinking about those words made him blush. They were simply unbearable to hear.
Shen Yijia clearly did not believe him.
Mo Yuan glanced at Thirty Thousand disdainfully and skipped those unpleasant words to get straight to the point. “They also said that Young Master is young and strong. They were worried that it would be difficult for Young Miss to serve him with your small body. They wanted to give their daughter to Young Master as a concubine to help you share the burden.”
Mo Yuan clearly knew better than Thirty Thousand what Shen Yijia cared about. Even if Thirty Thousand said those things that he found difficult to say, her Miss might not understand. She might even think that he was praising her for being amazing.
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yijia widened her eyes and gritted her teeth. “They wish. They even want to be concubines for my beautiful husband. Are they too bold, or am I too weak to carry a knife?”
“Little Furball, let’s go and see who dares to s.n.a.t.c.h food from the tiger’s mouth,” Shen Yijia called out angrily.
When Furball heard her call it, it scurried out of an unknown corner. Shen Yijia climbed onto its back.
By the time Thirty Thousand reacted, the two had already run far away, followed by Mo Yuan.
Thirty Thousand dared to stop Mo Yuan, but he did not have the guts to stop Shen Yijia. Besides, he did not think he had the ability to do so. He could only grit his teeth and head towards the camp.
Therefore, when Thirty Thousand arrived with Song Jingchen, he saw Shen Yijia sitting on Furball’s back with a straight face and pacing back and forth by the river.
More than ten drenched women floundered in the middle of the river. It was unknown if they were frightened or frozen, but their lips trembled and their faces turned pale.
On the other side stood a group of people holding pots and watching the show.
Thirty Thousand recognized at a glance that those who had been thrown into the river were the ones who had gossiped just now.
“Master, look.”
Song Jingchen frowned. “Didn’t you say that someone died?”
All of these people were not having a good time. The weather in March was a little cold, but it was not to the extent that they would die from soaking in the river.
The corners of Thirty Thousand’s mouth twitched. He felt that he had worried for nothing. Was his master prepared to help clean up the mess after Young Madam killed someone?
Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows. Before they could approach, someone had already noticed them.
The woman in the river opened her mouth to cry for help.
However, Shen Yijia was faster than them. She jumped off Furball’s back and ran over. “Hubby, these aunties said that there are daughters in the family who can’t get married. They want you to stand up for them.”
If not for the fact that they couldn’t find proper marriages, why would they want to be someone’s concubine?
“Then what are they doing?”
“The weather is too hot. They probably wanted to go into the river and cool down,” Shen Yijia lied through her teeth.
Her voice was not soft, and everyone around her heard her clearly, especially those who wanted to shout for help. They were choked by her shameless words and could not speak for a long time.
They had clearly been tossed into the river by Shen Yijia.
They also felt wronged. There were usually no other pastimes in this mountain.
When a group of people gathered together, they liked to talk nonsense. Unexpectedly, someone heard their gossip.
“Am I right?” Shen Yijia turned to look at the women in the river with a smile.
The dozen or so people paused and glanced at Song Jingchen. Seeing that he was only looking at Young Madam, they knew that they wouldn’t be able to get what they wanted today.
Most importantly, they were not in the right. If the dirty jokes they said about Eldest Young Master and Young Madam were to spread, it would be even worse.
All of them could only nod with bitter expressions. “Yes, yes. We felt that it was too hot, so we came here to cool down.”
Shen Yijia blinked. “Then your daughters…”
“I’ll marry my daughter off tomorrow.”
“Right, I’ve got stuff going on too.”
There was a moment of silence.
The women spoke at once, afraid that Eldest Young Master would really interfere and help them matchmake if they spoke too late.
It would have been fine if they got a good match. However, there were still many old bachelors in the army who had yet to get married.
Satisfied, Shen Yijia waved at Furball. “I originally wanted to introduce you to these aunties, but it seems that these aunties don’t like you very much. Go and play by yourself.”
Furball rolled its eyes. Did she not care about its reputation?
It howled at the women in the river, scaring them into screaming again.
Before Shen Yijia left, she did not forget to remind them, “Don’t forget to invite me to the wedding banquet.”
The women wanted to cry. How could marriage be child’s play?
At night, they wanted to discuss with their husbands if there was any other way to delay it for a while.
However, as soon as their husbands returned, they threw them the red seals given to them by Eldest Young Master.
What else could these aunties do? They could only marry their daughters off in a hurry.
Fortunately, the Qilin army did not lack men.
Shen Yijia attended several wedding banquets in the next few days.
The men who suddenly got married were even more grateful to her. Those who had yet to marry hoped that she would do it a few more times.
Shen Yijia immediately became the matchmaker of the Qilin Army. Every family’s madam came to talk to her about which family’s daughter their son liked.
However, Shen Yijia was not stupid. She was only forcing those women because they had ill intentions and were aiming for Song Jingchen.
There was no reason for other good girls to be forced to get married by her. This kind of thing still had to be consensual.
After she rejected a few families in a row, everyone understood that it was useless to consult Young Madam for their son to marry. The girl’s family had to agree on their own.
Those who had daughters who were afraid of being noticed by Shen Yijia secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Later on, Shen Yijia found out that Chuntao, whom she had heard of before, was also forced to marry out.
After this incident, Shen Yijia did not take it to heart. Just as she was wondering when her beautiful husband would attack the Luo family, she heard Mo Yuan report that Song Jingchen had gotten someone to capture a deputy general of the Luo family.
