The atmosphere was ruined by Shen Yijia’s words. Song Jingchen coughed dryly and silently sat back in his wheelchair. He left the room and continued playing the role of a cripple.

When there was no more movement behind her, Shen Yijia burst out laughing. She reached out and rubbed the corner of her mouth. She couldn’t stop smiling.

“Oh my G.o.d… My beautiful husband is so cute!” she thought.

It was unknown how Fan Mingyuan persuaded her, but even when the fragrance powder shop opened, Shen Yijia did not see Xiao Ruoshui again.

This disappointed Shen Yijia, who had made up her mind to beat up this woman who dared to covet her beautiful husband.

The workshop was also up and running. An Dong was in charge of purchasing the flowers. For this reason, Shen Yijia specially provided an ox cart that he could use for transporting the flowers.

He was also in charge of transporting the completed fragrance or incense powders to the shop, and was paid one tael of silver a month.

It was worth mentioning that the incense powder boxes were all designed by Song Jingchen. He then brought them to the other carpenters in the village to create them.

Shen Yijia became the boss of the shop. She handed over the authority to Madam Du and agreed that she would only settle the accounts once a month.

Naturally, Song Jingchen still had to do this. After this, Shen Yijia had spent most of her money and only had less than 200 taels of silver left.

Auntie Tian did not go to the workshop to work because she was anxious about An Xiu’er’s marriage. In the past, she only felt that her daughter was good-looking, so she rarely let her out.

Now that Auntie wanted her to go out more often to find a husband, but she was unwilling to do so. Of course Auntie Tian would feel anxious.

An Xiu’er was only a few months younger than Shen Yijia. She had already reached adulthood. If she didn’t get married soon, she would be too old for marriage.

Auntie Tian’s lips were covered in blisters. She took the opportunity to enter An Xiu’er’s room and sit down by her bed.

She said earnestly, “Xiu’er, tell me the truth. Do you have someone you like?”

Auntie Tian originally didn’t want to ask. She wanted to pretend to be a fool, but now she had no choice.

An Xiu’er blushed and lowered her head.

Not answering meant that she had tacitly agreed. Auntie Tian felt her forehead ache. She gritted her teeth and asked, “Could it be the eldest son of the Song family next door?”

Afraid that she would hear an answer she didn’t want to hear, Auntie Tian pulled An Xiu’er’s hand and said earnestly, “You have to find a man who can support the family. You can’t find a man who’s only good-looking but has a disability. At that time, won’t you be the one suffering?”

Auntie Tian felt that her hint was very obvious, but An Xiu’er didn’t seem to hear it. Her face turned pale and she looked at Auntie Tian in disbelief.

Seeing her reaction, Auntie Tian was so angry that she wanted to slap her.

Unexpectedly, An Xiu’er shook her head in panic. “Mother, how could you guess that it’s him? I do like someone, but that person isn’t Brother Song.”

An Xiu’er was telling the truth this time. Even though she had fantasized about it for a while, she was hurt by Song Jingchen’s merciless words.

She was nervous because she did not expect her mother to be able to tell. Wouldn’t that mean that her brother and father also knew?

She did not dare to think about the consequences. Nothing had happened, but she felt as if she was being pointed at everywhere she went. Everyone called her a vixen who coveted someone else’s husband.

“It’s not him? Then who is it? Tell me so that I can get him to hire a matchmaker to propose marriage.” Auntie Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief and spoke much more gently.

An Xiu’er paused and lowered her head shyly. “Mother, don’t ask. You don’t know him, and he’s not from Anyang County. However, he promised me that he would definitely welcome me in.”

Auntie Tian’s heart skipped a beat and she was so angry that she almost died on the spot. She held her forehead and pointed at An Xiu’er in disbelief. “You, you weren’t deceived, were you?”

If An Xiu’er had been tricked and given her body to someone before marriage, things would not turn out well.

At the thought of this possibility, Auntie Tian’s head buzzed.

An Xiu’er quickly shook her head. “No.”

After saying that, she took out a red string from her neck, perhaps to convince herself or Auntie Tian. There was a jade pendant hanging on it. She showed the jade pendant to Auntie Tian. “This is the token he gave me. I believe him.”

When Auntie Tian saw the jade pendant, she knew that it was expensive. Her heart skipped a beat. If it was true, someone who could afford such a jade pendant would definitely not be bad.

“The weather is so good. I’ll carry you out to bask in the sun!” Shen Yijia suggested carefully to Song Jingchen.

Ever since Song Jingchen fled from her words that day, the interactions between the two of them had become more subtle. Song Jingchen always deliberately avoided her, and Shen Yijia patiently approached him.

“There’s no need.” Song Jingchen refused directly.

Shen Yijia pretended not to hear him. She reached out and picked him up from the wheelchair. She said seriously, “Sunlight is good for your body. You should learn from Furball. Look how much it knows how to enjoy itself.”

Song Jingchen gritted his teeth and compromised. “Then I’ll go out in the wheelchair.”

His legs had clearly recovered. This girl knew that he could not expose himself, so she often did this on purpose.

“It’s so tiring to sit in a wheelchair. Let me carry you out.”

With that, Shen Yijia did not give him a chance to refuse and walked out.

“Little Furball, go and bring out a recliner.” Shen Yijia kicked Little Furball, who was lying on the ground after eating and drinking.

Furball raised its eyelids and glanced at Shen Yijia. It met her threatening gaze and ran into the central room.

Having done this many times, Furball was already familiar with it. It crawled under the recliner and stood up. The recliner was easily carried by it.

Shen Yijia straightened the chair with her feet and placed Song Jingchen on it.

She squatted down and stroked Furball’s head. Out of habit, she said, “You’re so smart. I’ll add more meat for you tonight.”

Furball glanced at her and didn’t believe a word she said. It nestled at Song Jingchen’s feet and continued sleeping.

The two of them felt like they were in the same boat.

Song Jingchen lay on the recliner with one hand over his eyes, refusing to communicate with Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia rubbed her nose and felt that men cared too much about their reputation. She should give her beautiful husband a way out. She leaned over and apologized pitifully, “I’m sorry. I won’t say that your ears are red again. Even if I see it, I’ll pretend that I didn’t see it, okay?”

Song Jingchen paused. He had the urge to cover up Shen Yijia’s lips.

He was not angry at Shen Yijia. He just felt that she did not know anything yet. He was too anxious.

“Hubby!” Shen Yijia grabbed Song Jingchen’s arm and shook it. She thought of something and changed her tone. “Brother Chen, don’t be angry.”

Song Jingchen’s eyelids twitched. He quickly covered Shen Yijia’s mouth and gritted his teeth. “I’m not angry!”

Shen Yijia blinked.

Song Jingchen let go of her hand. Shen Yijia chuckled and asked, “Really?”

“Yes!”

“Then kiss me again.” Shen Yijia leaned over.
