Due to what had happened previously, Shen Yijia originally thought that she would not have any interactions with Liu Piaopiao after leaving Xunyang. She did not expect that not only did she come to the capital, but she also asked to meet her.
This made her feel troubled for a moment.
“Young Madam, the car is ready.” West Wind came in and reported. Shen Yijia looked at the time and pursed her lips before throwing the letter away.
“I’ll go out for a while. If I’m not back in an hour, bring your men out of the city first.”
“Miss, I’ll go with you.” MO Yuan followed her.
Shen Yijia waved her hand. “No need. I’ll be back soon.”
“Go and detoxify that bastard emperor first. Then, get him a bucket of water and let him clean up.”
Because she wanted the useless emperor to stew in resentment, Shen Yijia didn’t let MO Yuan detoxify him earlier. She naturally wouldn’t let anyone clean him up at any time like Eunuch Li and Eunuch Deng served him. Therefore, one could imagine what state he was in right now.
Shen Yijia shivered and ran far away.
MO Yuan was speechless.
She looked at West Wind.
West Wind was speechless.
Noticing that someone had walked in from outside, West Wind’s eyes lit up. “Hey, isn’t that Thirty Thousand? He’s free. Get him to help you. I’ll check the carriage again.”
With that, he strode in front of Thirty Thousand and patted his shoulder heavily. “Brother, it’s time for you to perform. Work hard.”
Thirty Thousand was confused. He wanted to ask what he meant, but the person in front of him had already walked past him.
He turned around and met MO Yuan’s gaze. He grinned. “MO Yuan, do you need my help with anything?”
MO Yuan said, “Yes.”
Shen Yijia followed the address in the letter and arrived at a teahouse. Only then did she realize that this place was facing the execution ground.
From afar, the platform of the execution ground was empty, but it was already surrounded by commoners.
All of them were waiting for something excitedly.
Shen Yijia glanced at him and retracted her gaze. She went straight into the teahouse.
Perhaps because everyone had gone to join in the fun, there was not a single guest in the teahouse.
When the staff saw her, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses and greeted her with a smile. “Dear guest, you have an appointment with Miss Liu, right?”
“How did you know?” Shen Yijia asked subconsciously.
“Hey, everyone is either going to the Hidden Spirit Temple to join in the fun or watching that over there today. Who would have the time to come to the teahouse for tea, don’t you think so?” The staff smiled as he led Shen Yijia to the second floor.
Shen Yijia was about to ask if the Hidden Spirit Temple was not open to the public today, but she thought that they could stay at the foot of the mountain, so she did not ask.
The two of them stopped in front of a private room while the staff knocked on the door.
A maidservant opened the door and invited Shen Yijia in.
Shen Yijia frowned and followed the maidservant past the screen in the middle. She saw a slender girl leaning against the window and looking out.
Hearing the commotion, the girl turned around and smiled sweetly at her. “Sister Jiajia, you’re here.”
Shen Yijia was stunned.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t you recognize me anymore?” Liu Piaopiao smiled and walked over to hold Shen Yijia’s hand. She pulled her to sit down at the table.
Shen Yijia came back to her senses. Her gaze flickered as she said seriously, “You’ve lost weight. I almost didn’t recognize you.”
“Didn’t you say that it’s not good for your health to be too fat?” Liu Piaopiao smiled and narrowed her eyes. She stood up and walked around in front of her twice. She asked shyly, “Have I become prettier?”
Shen Yijia nodded. “Yes, you’re beautiful. You’re almost at my level.”
Liu Piaopiao burst out laughing. Her embarrassment disappeared because of her shameless words.
She walked to Shen Yijia and sat down opposite her. She waved at the maidservant. “Ah Cai, go and guard outside.”
The maidservant bowed to the two of them and left, closing the door behind her.
“When did you arrive in the capital?” Shen Yijia looked at her and asked.
Liu Piaopiao smiled and didn’t answer. She turned to look out of the window. “I heard that the culprit who captured those girls will be executed today.”
Shen Yijia followed her gaze. At this moment, there was already a team of soldiers around the execution ground. They stood around the platform to prevent the excited citizens from approaching.
“My parents… can be considered victims.” Liu Piaopiao sighed. Shen Yijia asked, “So you’re specially here to watch the punishment?”
Liu Piaopiao turned around and looked at Shen Yijia. She smiled bitterly and said, “I guess so. I have to watch the person who harmed my parents go to hell with my own eyes.”
Shen Yijia said, “I thought you would blame me.”
Liu Piaopiao blinked and said seriously, “I did blame you at first, but later on, I realized that you didn’t do anything wrong. After all, it was my parents who did something wrong..”
