Chapter 260: The Real and Fake Mo Xu, Jiajia Almost Got Injured
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas StudiosWhen she was outside just now, she noticed that Mo Yuan’s expression had clearly changed when she heard him mention that only that person in the world could make that medicine.
Mo Yuan’s name was given by her mistress, and Mo Xu’s surname was also Mo.
Perhaps Mo Yuan’s young lady was that person. Perhaps she could help her find out something.
Mo Xu was stunned. He subconsciously looked at Shen Yijia’s face and stammered, “I really don’t know who Young Master is… I…”
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “Where’s that person? You know about him, right?”
“That person. She’s…”
Shen Yijia frowned. She was about to urge him not to dawdle when the person who was fine just now suddenly twitched and spat out blood.
Mo Yuan went forward and checked his pulse. “He’s dead.”
Shen Yijia was shocked and turned to look at the child closest to Mo Xu. The child shrank under her gaze and hurriedly waved his hand. “No, I didn’t kill him. I- I don’t know anything.”
“He only asked me to take care of his meals every day. I’m not allowed to ask about anything else…”
“When did you start living here with him?” Song Jingchen, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
The child thought for a moment before saying uncertainly, “Two months ago.”
As if worried that Song Jingchen would kill him too, he hurriedly explained, “He bought me from some human traffickers and I followed him here.”
“It’s usually just the two of us. Doctor Fang came three times in the middle. Every time he came, he would take the medicine and leave. I really don’t know anything else.”
“Please don’t kill me…”
Song Jingchen sneered. “In that case, you’re responsible for the Huns’ invasion of Xunyang? Mr. Mo Xu.”
The child’s pupils constricted. He suddenly jumped up from the ground and a dagger appeared in his hand. He quickly rushed towards Shen Yijia.
It was so fast that Shen Yijia was still stunned by Song Jingchen’s words. When she saw something coming at her, she subconsciously reached out to block it.
A silver light flashed in front of her eyes, and the sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh exploded in her ears.
Shen Yijia blinked and looked down.
Fortunately, she was fine. The voice didn’t come from her.
“When… did you see through it?” The child, the real Mo Xu, looked at Song Jingchen in disbelief.
A line of blood on his neck was especially glaring.
Song Jingchen’s face darkened. Without looking at him, he pulled Shen Yijia and left.
Mo Yuan and Rooster looked at each other. One of them carried Doctor Fang, and the other confirmed that Mo Xu was not breathing before following.
Song Jingchen walked too quickly, and Shen Yijia had to jog to catch up. She shook Song Jingchen’s hand timidly. “Hubby, hubby?”
Song Jingchen ignored her.
“I didn’t mean to be in a daze. Isn’t this too surprising?”
“Besides, aren’t you here?”
When she said the last sentence, her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s. Clearly, she was not confident enough to say these words.
Song Jingchen stopped in his tracks and said in a low voice, “I don’t blame you.”
He only blamed himself for not protecting her well and almost hurting her. All of this was because he was too arrogant and had clearly seen through that person…
“Really?”
“Yes.” Song Jingchen didn’t want to mention what had happened just now. He suddenly stopped and asked, “Are you tired?”
Shen Yijia was stunned. “Huh? I’m not tired.”
Song Jingchen didn’t seem to hear her. He squatted down in front of her and said firmly, “Come. I’ll carry you down the mountain.”
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “I understand. There’s a kind of tiredness called ‘hubby thinks you’re tired’.”
She obediently got on Song Jingchen’s back and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Song Jingchen carried her for a while. Shen Yijia stayed silent. He was used to this girl chattering in his ear, so he wasn’t used to it.
He shook the person on his back and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks and placed her head on Song Jingchen’s shoulder. She said uncomfortably, “I was wondering how you knew that the child was Mo Xu.”
The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched. What happened just now really didn’t affect her at all. He thought this girl was thinking about how dangerous it was.
He spat out the words. “Guess.”
Shen Yijia blinked and whispered in his ear, “Will there be a reward if I guess correctly?”
For example, letting her press against him once or showing her his abs.
“No.” Song Jingchen didn’t fall for her trick.
“Alright.” Shen Yijia shrugged. “If I guess correctly, I’ll reward you.”
She would give him the rewards that she herself wanted.
Shen Yijia raised her head and laughed. She was too smart.
She couldn’t help but laugh when she imagined the expression Song Jingchen would have when she suggested this reward to him.
She lay on Song Jingchen’s back alone and laughed until her entire body trembled.
Song Jingchen was speechless.
Just now, she was worried that he would be angry, but now, she was laughing so much. As expected, this was Shen Yijia. She had been serious for less than two hours.
Although he didn’t know what she was up to, Song Jingchen made up his mind not to take the bait. It wasn’t a good thing.
“Can we do that?”
“Please?”
“Hubby? Shenzhi?”
Song Jingchen was silent the rest of the way. Shen Yijia kept pestering him to agree to her conditions.
Song Jingchen’s forehead throbbed as he said, “Okay.”
Shen Yijia chuckled and let go of Song Jingchen’s cheek. She wrapped her arms around his neck again and started talking at length. “Because when we were eavesdropping outside the house, the man was about to reveal that person’s identity, but the real Mo Xu threw his teacup to the ground and stopped him.
“Also, if he’s really just a servant who was bought, there’s no need for the man to pull him along when he escapes. He’s clearly subconsciously protecting his master, just like how Mo Yuan treated me and how Rooster treats you.”
“What else?”
“Even Doctor Fang is so humble in front of him, which means that this person’s status is definitely not low. If he’s really Mo Xu, how could he not know who his master is?” However, it seemed that Doctor Fang probably did not know that the Mo Xu he talked to was not the real Mo Xu.
Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows. This girl wasn’t stupid.
How could he have known that Shen Yijia had worked so many of her brain cells to death just for her reward?
Seeing that he did not retort, Shen Yijia knew that she had guessed correctly. She thought of something and asked, “Do you know who their master is?”
She saw that Song Jingchen didn’t seem curious about this at all.
Speaking of this, Song Jingchen’s eyes darkened. “Perhaps.”
However, they had yet to find any evidence. Besides…
“Ah, quick, bring me food.” In the Wang residence, Shangguan Han shouted as soon as he woke up.
He felt that he could eat a cow now.
For a moment, the servants of the prince’s residence were ordered around by Butler Wan. At the same time, the news that the prince had woken up spread.
