Then, Madam Li’s heart burst with joy and brought the twins to help clean up the mess.
“I think Sister-in-law is really angry this time. Brother, you’d better think of a way. Otherwise, this family…” Song Jingchen might lose his place in the family if this continued.
Brother Hao didn’t say the last sentence, but his face was filled with sympathy and expectations that his brother could do better. It was better not to say it out loud.
Song Jingchen felt his heart skip a beat.
Fan Mingyuan patted his shoulder. “Alright, pull yourself together. You’ve been smart since you were young. You must have a way to coax Sister-in-law.”
With that, he turned around and walked in the direction of Madam Li and the others.
“Why are you going?” Song Jingchen asked subconsciously.
“Ah!” Fan Mingyuan slapped his forehead. “Junior Sister is going back to her maiden home. I have to take a look, right?”
This was the first time he saw someone move from one courtyard to another and treat it like she was returning to her maiden home.
The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched. Originally, he called her “sister-in-law”, but now he called her “Junior Sister”.
“Master, why don’t you go home too?” South Wind suggested softly.
Song Jingchen said, “That’s childish.”
Ten minutes later, Song Jingchen and Fan Mingyuan sat in the reception pavilion in the main courtyard.
“Mother, Big Brother is here too. He’s not even wearing a coat on such a cold day. Won’t he get sick from the cold?” Sister Huan leaned against the window of the wing and looked out, reporting the situation outside.
Madam Li was helping Shen Yijia make the bed. When she heard this, she said without looking up, “Ignore him. He did something wrong. We should let him suffer.’
Shen Yijia frowned.
Madam Li noticed and found it funny, but she said bluntly, “Although he just suffered 30 strokes and the weather is indeed cold, Jiajia, don’t worry. Brother Chen’s body has been strong since he was young. At this level, he’ll at most have a high fever and fall sick for a few days.”
“He’ll get sick?” she thought.
Shen Yijia tightened her grip.
Madam Li took her hand. “Alright, leave these things here for now. Go and change your clothes first. We still have to leave the city and come back before dark.”
Back then, the emperor had specially allowed them to bury Old Master Song and the Duke for the sake of his reputation.
However, in Great Xia, especially since they were guilty of treason, descendants were not allowed to pay their respects at the graves. Otherwise, they would be treated as accomplices.
At that time, Song Jingchen had sworn in front of their graves that he would definitely seek justice for the Song family. This day had finally arrived. Of course, they had to go openly.
Madam Li had already prepared the things to pay her respects when she returned in advance. She did expect the couple to quarrel, so she was delayed for a while.
There were a total of two carriages. Shen Yijia followed Madam Li into the first carriage along with Brother Hao and Sister Huan. Song Jingchen could only sit in the second carriage with Fan Mingyuan.
As for Lin Miaomiao, Madam Li was worried that she wouldn’t be able to take care of her as well, so she didn’t ask for permission for her to take time off school. She instructed Lin Shao to pick her up when school ended.
At first, Shen Yijia did not realize where she was going. When she left the city and saw that everyone was in low spirits, she vaguely guessed something.
Shen Yijia pursed her lips and suddenly regretted being angry with her beautiful husband. He must be feeling terrible too!
However, she was already angry. If she suddenly stopped being angry, wouldn’t she lose some dignity?
The carriage finally stopped in front of a desolate mountain. When Shen Yijia first transmigrated, she was ignored by the Song family, who were immersed in sorrow. No one even informed her of the funeral, so this was her first time here.
There was not even a way up the mountain in front of her. Shen Yijia frowned. She had read about Feng Shui in novels and knew that people were very particular about the positioning of the graves.
Thinking about the situation back then, she understood.
“This place is pretty good. It’s quiet. No one will disturb us.”
Song Jingchen had walked behind her at some point. Shen Yijia turned around and looked at him.
Song Jingchen forced a smile and rubbed her head. “I was wrong about what happened today.”
His usual clothes were mostly black, and he rarely wore white.
Coupled with the fact that he was a little pale and had to force a smile, he looked like a sickly beauty.
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “You’re breaking the rules.”
Song Jingchen took out a candied plum from somewhere and pursed his lips. “Grandfather and Father will be happy to see that the two of us are on good terms.”
Shen Yijia glanced away. “Then… I’ll forgive you for the time being.”
After saying that, she felt that she was too easy to coax. She muttered, “I’ll be angry when we get home.”
“Alright.” Song Jingchen placed the candied plums in her palm. “Go back to the carriage with Mother and wait for a while..”
