Xuanyuan Ce naturally did not just leave the matter to Xuanyuan Ziming. He instructed Chu Feng to follow him and investigate. In addition, he sent the only remaining Demon Guard to the border.
Back then, since the matter was not successfully completed, the other party sent back the remuneration given by the Yu family. However, because You Yi interfered and took the remuneration, Madam Yu did not receive the news of the defeat immediately.
Now that she knew, she would probably send someone to silence them.
The reason why Xuanyuan Ce sent the Demon Guards was to save and bring back the border guards who were involved, before people from the Yu family reached the border.
As for alerting the enemy?
Xuanyuan Ce narrowed his cold eyes. If she didn’t move, how was he going to catch her weakness?
At night, Shen Yijia looked at the enlarged face in front of her and her heart trembled. She closed her eyes and looked like she was at the mercy of someone.
“If you want to kiss me, kiss me quickly.”
Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows. “Who said I was going to kiss you?
“Then I want to kiss you.” Shen Yijia raised her head. Unexpectedly, before she could touch him, she was pressed back by a hand.
“Be honest. Why did you deliberately mention what happened when you entered the Xuanyuan Kingdom today?” Song Jingchen asked.
Shen Yijia pursed her lips. What was supposed to happen had indeed come.
Because of her extra words, Ji Luo had already asked her what had happened last night. She didn’t want her to worry, so she coaxed her for a long time before finally she gave up.
“You’re not going to tell me?” Song Jingchen pretended to tickle her. Shen Yijia quickly hugged his demonic claws. “I’ll talk, I’ll talk.”
Song Jingchen looked at her.
“Initially, on account of the money, I thought that I would let this matter go. Anyway, after we leave the Xuanyuan Kingdom, I won’t have any more interactions with the Yu family. Unexpectedly, we came to Phoenix City instead.” Shen Yijia observed Song Jingchen’s expression as she spoke. “Think about it. Before I even entered the Xuanyuan Kingdom, the Yu family wanted to harm me. Now that we’re so close, wouldn’t it be easier for them to cause trouble?”
Song Jingchen nodded for her to continue.
Shen Yijia could only brace herself and continue making up stories. “I’m impatient to guard against this and that every day. Since that man caused this, of course I have to let him resolve it.”
In order to increase her trustworthiness, she spoke very seriously, her eyes wide.
She almost believed her own words.
“Liar.” Song Jingchen wouldn’t let her off.
How could he not understand this girl?
She had always liked to take revenge herself. She was direct and violent.
When had she ever asked anyone for help? Moreover, it was Xuanyuan Ce, whom she called a sc.u.mbag. It was not her style to make hints like that..
Shen Yijia was completely defeated by his gaze. She was indeed too naive to want to fool her beautiful husband.
It wasn’t easy for her to use her brain.
“Alright, I’ll talk.” She tugged at his sleeve ingratiatingly and looked at him innocently. “I know you don’t want me to stand up for you, but I want to help you. Instead of entering the palace yourself, why don’t we take the initiative to make him summon us?”
Even though he had already guessed it, Song Jingchen was still stunned when he heard Shen Yijia admit it. He couldn’t tell what he was feeling.
It was obviously impossible for Lord Jing’an not to care about this daughter, but he had never mentioned letting her acknowledge her ancestors. Apart from the fact that this girl had yet to completely accept him, he probably did not want her to be criticized for being a mistress’s daughter.
Otherwise, with Lord Jing’an’s personality, he would definitely want everyone to know that he had such a daughter.
On the other hand, they only knew what exactly happened back then from You Yi’s unilateral words.
The emperor and the empress dowager’s att.i.tude towards Ji Luo was unclear, and the same would apply to Shen Yijia.
No matter what, this was not a good time for them to know about Shen Yijia’s existence.
This girl, on the other hand, wanted to expose herself without a care. Instead of saying that she hadn’t thought of this, it was more like she didn’t care at all.
She only knew that he needed to enter the palace, so she helped him enter the palace. She did not consider what she would have to face or whether she would be roasted over a fire.
She did all of this to help him.
Song Jingchen opened his mouth and felt his throat interfere. “Aren’t you afraid that this matter won’t reach the emperor?
“So be it. I won’t lose out anyway, but I think I’ll definitely win this time.”
She didn’t know what kind of person Consort Jing’an was, but she had seen Xuanyuan Ye before.
She was an unruly and willful person.
Ever since she was in Great Xia, she could compete with her regardless of the occasion just because she was Song Jingchen’s wife..
