Chapter 199: 199

Seeing that her attention had been diverted, Song Jingchen heaved a sigh of relief and pretended to be troubled. “I can help, but you have to learn. What if I’m not by your side one day?”

“How can that be? You’ll definitely be by my side!” Shen Yijia said matter-of-factly. She never thought that the two of them would separate one day.

Song Jingchen paused and smiled. “Alright!”

It was unknown if he was saying that he would go with Shen Yijia tomorrow or that the two of them would not separate.

As soon as Shen Yijia heard him agree, she grinned. Song Jingchen continued, “But you still have to learn.”

Shen Yijia was speechless.

The next morning, Shen Yijia drove the carriage to the Fragrant Powder Pavilion in town with Song Jingchen.

The Fragrant Powder Pavilion was named by Song Jingchen. It was only one alley away from the Full Fortune Restaurant.

When Manager Du saw the two of them, she invited them into the accounting room.

Under Manager Du’s management, the Fragrant Powder Pavilion received nearly a hundred taels of silver every month.

Naturally, it was because Lin Shao’s fragrance powder formula was good.

Although this was not as much as Shen Yijia’s single trip to the underground arena, it was at least a stable source of income.

Under Madam Li’s suggestion, Shen Yijia would take out 20% of the profits every month to save for Lin Shao’s future wife and dowry.

Lin Shao did not know about this, so Madam Li reminded them not to reveal it to him.

There were many little transactions that the shop had to do, so the accounting took a while.

The rhythmic sound of abacus beads colliding could be heard in the accountant’s room. Shen Yijia sat at the side and watched as she was hypnotized by the sound. She started dozing off.

Song Jingchen found it funny and stopped what he was doing. He was about to let her rest on the soft couch when someone knocked on the door.

Shen Yijia also woke up and reflexively sat up straight to look at the source of the sound.

Every time she made a mistake when practicing calligraphy, Song Jingchen would knock on the door like this. She was traumatized.

Song Jingchen frowned slightly and looked displeased with Rooster, who had just walked into the room.

As soon as he entered, Rooster was stared at by the two of them.

“Did I come at a bad time?” he thought.

“What’s the matter?” Song Jingchen asked.

Rooster glanced at Shen Yijia and realized that Song Jingchen had no intention of hiding anything from her. He replied, “Master, there have been suspicious people entering and leaving the arena recently. Should we make a move?”

When Manager Feng died, Cao Dezhi arranged for another person to take over the arena. Later on, even Cao Dezhi was gone. That new owner was afraid that he would be implicated and wanted to escape with the silver.

They were blocked by a few of the Mahjong Brothers. Before the officials came to investigate, they transferred all the fighting slaves inside to the dungeon.

After being brainwashed for a long time, the slaves no longer had their own thoughts. They only listened to their masters’ orders.

After some ‘teaching’, their current master had become Song Jingchen.

Song Jingchen frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Send them to the north.”

After thinking for a while, he said, “Let One Dot and Thirty Thousand go.”

“One Dot is the most rational one among us. It makes sense for him to go, but why would Song Jingchen send Thirty Thousand too? Because he could eat?” Rooster thought.

Unable to figure it out, Rooster stopped thinking about it. He had simply come to complete his mission. He glanced at Song Jingchen and hesitated.

He was hoping that Song Jingchen would take the initiative to ask him to say something. However…

“If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”

Rooster looked at his master in disbelief. He did not believe that his smart master could not tell that he had something to say.

He hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, I do have something to say. It’s about Thirty Thousand. Can I-”

From far away, Thirty Thousand suddenly sneezed. “Is someone talking about me?” he thought.

“No.” Before Rooster could finish, Song Jingchen interrupted him coldly.

“As expected, you saw through it. You did it on purpose.” Rooster thought.

On the way out, he glanced at Shen Yijia resentfully.

Shen Yijia was puzzled. She knew that this person had peeked at her twice.

However, Shen Yijia didn’t have the time to pay attention to him for the time being. She leaned closer to Song Jingchen and asked curiously, “Have they been in the arena recently?”

No wonder she hadn’t seen them in a long time. She had almost forgotten about these Mahjong Brothers.

Song Jingchen shook his head and corrected, “No, they were in the dungeon.”

He didn’t say anything about fighting slaves because he didn’t want her to see his dark side.

“Oh.” Shen Yijia tactfully did not ask further.

Unexpectedly, there was another knock on the door. This time, it was Manager Du. “Boss, a girl came to the shop. She mentioned that she’s your friend.”

Shen Yijia immediately guessed who it was. She rolled her eyes and said impatiently, “I happen to want to go out for a walk. Hubby, stay here and settle the accounts. I’ll come back to pick you up later.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away, seemingly worried that Song Jingchen wouldn’t let her go.

At first, Song Jingchen was a little jealous that Shen Yijia had thrown him aside to accompany someone else, but when he thought about how she didn’t have anyone to talk to here, his heart ached.

Song Jingchen didn’t know that it was because of his heartache that he was in deep trouble for a long time.

On the other hand, when Shen Yijia came outside, she saw Xiao Ruoshui, who was wearing a soft dress with hibiscus-colored gold silk. Unlike the previous few times, she wasn’t wearing a riding outfit. Clearly, her outfit today was more compatible with her name.

Without her domineering aura, she looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.

“Sister Shen.” Seeing Shen Yijia, Xiao Ruoshui greeted her warmly.

Shen Yijia raised her eyebrows. “Didn’t you just call me a bad woman recently? Since when did you start calling me your sister?” she thought.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Xiao Ruoshui was stunned by Shen Yijia’s gaze. She reached out to touch her face and asked awkwardly.

Shen Yijia blinked and smiled. “No, how did you know I was here?”

“I went to your house to look for you. Auntie told me!”

It was good that she was not being followed. Otherwise, she might not be able to control her hands again. Shen Yijia’s smile became more genuine. “You came at the right time. Come shopping with me.”

Xiao Ruoshui was stunned by Shen Yijia’s sudden enthusiasm. Was she being swayed?

Shen Yijia led her to the pharmacy and asked Xiao Ruoshui to wait at the door. She came out less than 15 minutes later with a sullen expression.

After a while, they started chatting over tea. “What did you say?” Xiao Ruoshui spat out the tea in her mouth, choking her until tears came out.

However, she was not in a hurry to clean up. She only looked at Shen Yijia in disbelief.

This person said that she wanted to go shopping, but after coming out of the medicinal shop, she brought her to the teahouse.

Shen Yijia was covered in water and despised Xiao Ruoshui. Thinking that this person might be able to help her, she endured it. “Do you know what I need to do to get pregnant?”
