474 Sweetness (2)
Shen Yijia tilted her head and tried her best to recall. Only then did she realize that she could only remember getting into the carriage.
Thinking of something, she was shocked. “Did I do something embarrassing?”
Song Jingchen thought of the scene when he arrived home and saw a certain drunkard looking for her husband everywhere.
He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Finally, he shook his head. “No. I came back this afternoon. You must be hungry. I’ll cook you something to eat.”
When he said no, Shen Yijia did not think too much about it. It was mainly because she really felt hungry.
Since she was unwilling to let go of him, Song Jingchen could only carry her to the kitchen. Madam Li was still warming the dishes in the pot.
Shen Yijia didn’t want to eat rice, she only wanted porridge. Song Jingchen washed the rice and cooked porridge for her. He was in a good mood.
Shen Yijia felt that even if she said that she wanted the moon in the sky, her beautiful husband would probably think of a way to pluck it for her.
He doted on his wife like his life depended on it.
Song Jingchen thought to himself, “What’s she thinking about?”
“Why are you looking at me? Are you not eating anymore?” Song Jingchen rubbed Shen Yijia’s head and asked in amusement.
“Eat!”
“Has the matter in Cangtong Town been resolved?” Shen Yijia took two bites and could not help but ask.
Song Jingchen shook his head and a trace of mockery flashed across his face. “It’s that person’s birthday soon. Let’s investigate after his birthday.”
Shen Yijia pursed her lips. “Has the identity been confirmed?”
“Pinellia recognized three corpses. One of them was the eldest girl she mentioned before.”
Although there were only three, it was enough to prove that his previous guess was right.
Most of the women from Xunyang City had probably been erased.
Shen Yijia felt a little nauseous. Thinking that Song Jingchen had cooked it, she forced herself to eat two bowls.
The two of them did not continue this topic.
Speaking of which, the deaths of those women were more or less caused by them.
The picture album and name list in their hands and their arrival in the capital were the reason the person behind them would attack those women.
However, Song Jingchen didn’t care. Shen Yijia only cared about what Song Jingchen cared about.
After eating the porridge, Song Jingchen took a bowl to the courtyard to wash it, and Shen Yijia followed beside him.
The gentle moonlight shone on his handsome face. His eyelashes were long and his lips were pursed slightly. He was focused on what he was doing. Shen Yijia felt that she could not get enough of him.
“Hubby, I left you something delicious.”
She had left some of the fruits she had bought from Xuanyuan Ce in the ice cellar.
Song Jingchen’s hand paused. “I’ve already eaten.”
As he spoke, he placed the bowl back in the cupboard and squatted down in front of Shen Yijia. Shen Yijia took the opportunity to lie on his back.
“Huh? When? Why didn’t I know?”
Shen Yijia felt that she had slept for too long. Not only was it dark, but she had also missed a lot of things.
“You gave it to me this afternoon. Have you forgotten?”
Earlier when she returned, as soon as he saw him, she wanted to pull him to the ice box, saying that she had left delicious food for him. The lychees and cinnamon had been in the ice box for so long that they had long been frozen, but she still insisted that he eat them.
He could only bite nearly ten fruit-flavored ice lumps in front of Shangguan Yu and his entire family. He almost broke his teeth.
“Really?” Shen Yijia tilted her head and thought for a moment, but she couldn’t remember. She shook her hand that was wrapped around Song Jingchen’s neck. “I also bought you a lot of gifts.”
Song Jingchen stopped in his tracks, his expression cracking.
He really did not want to imagine himself with a head full of jade hairpins, a few jade pendants hanging from his waist, and various pieces of cloth draped over his body.
He took a deep breath. “You gave it to me this afternoon.”
Feeling that it was too perfunctory to say that after receiving a gift, she said, “I like it very much.”
Shen Yijia was originally a little angry that he had snatched the opportunity for her to present a treasure to him. Now, she was finally a little happier.
Song Jingchen carried Shen Yijia back to her room and was about to bring her water to take a shower. Shen Yijia quickly pulled him back and said with sparkling eyes, “Go later.”
Song Jingchen was silent.
Shen Yijia bent down and searched under the bed for a long time, but she could not find the sack she had hidden inside.
“That’s not right. I clearly placed it here.”
Madam Li and the others wouldn’t enter her and Song Jingchen’s room without permission, let alone touch the things inside. They couldn’t have been robbed, right?
“Is that what you’re looking for?”
Song Jingchen’s voice came from behind. Shen Yijia turned around and saw that he was holding her precious sack.
She clattered over. “How did you find it? I thought I’d left it under the bed.”
Song Jingchen said, “You gave it to me this afternoon.”
