It was dark and the wind was strong. Shen Yijia’s figure was elongated, and a shadow enveloped her.

Looking at the person standing in front of him, Rooster s.h.i.+vered and nodded. “Really, really. How would I dare to ask about Master’s schedule? Young Madam, please spare me.”

Originally, the remaining few of them had been arranged by their master to stay in the Song family to protect the rest of the Song family. They had also thought that they would be interrogated by Young Madam. They had discussed it and decided to face it together.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yijia came looking for him. She could have kidnapped anyone, but he was unlucky enough to be kidnapped.

“If you didn’t know, you should have asked me, ‘Isn’t he in Xiagou Village?'” Shen Yijia clenched her fists and waved them at his face. “Are you going to tell me?”

Rooster closed his eyes.

Seeing that he had resigned himself to death, Shen Yijia decided to convince him with virtue. She took a few steps closer and grabbed his collar. “Tell me where he is. If my husband blames you, I’ll take responsibility for it.”

There was a moment of silence.

Not long after Shen Yijia left, Madam Li sat alone in the house for a long time. She was about to change into pajamas and rest when her hands paused.

Something was wrong. With Sister Jia’s personality, it was impossible for her not to ask where Brother Chen had gone.

With this thought in mind, she quickly carried the oil lamp and walked towards Shen Yijia’s room. From afar, she saw that the door was ajar.

Madam Li’s heart skipped a beat. She pushed open the door and saw the box and note on the table. She took a few steps over and picked up the words.

“I’m going to look for my husband. Don’t worry.”

The letter was signed off by Shen Yijia.

There was a moment of silence.

In a small restaurant in a small town outside Lizhou City, Shen Yijia looked at the pedestrians pa.s.sing by outside the door and took a bite of her steamed bun.

“Young Madam, you said you would protect me. You can’t go back on your word when you see Master,” Rooster reminded her nervously.

“She’s too ruthless. It’s already been two days, but my face is still bruised. What happened to convincing others with virtue? What happened to letting me go after I told you where my master was? Why do I have to lead the way?” These thoughts rushed through his mind.

Thinking of the gloating gazes of the others when he went back to pack his things, he gritted his teeth in anger. It seemed that those people were all awake and pretending to be asleep.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “Can you stop nagging? You’ve been nagging for two days. If I say I’ll protect you, I’ll protect you. You might as well lead the way. If you don’t let me catch up to my husband, I’ll deal with you first before he comes after you.”

They had been traveling for two days, but she did not see a single trace of Song Jingchen. If not for the fact that she really did not know the way, she would have beaten this fellow up.

The corner of Rooster’s mouth twitched, pulling at the wound on his face. He gasped in pain. He picked up a pickle with his chopsticks and ate it resentfully.

Not only was she fierce, but she was also stingy. He didn’t mind the fact that they had been traveling without rest for the past two days, but they had finally entered the town today. He thought that he could at least have a good meal.

In the end, he saw Shen Yijia running to a roadside vendor to buy a bag of steamed buns. She carried the steamed buns to the restaurant and ordered a plate of pickled vegetables.

Not to mention the way the waiter looked at the two of them, there were also a few strange gazes thrown at them from time to time in the lobby. Rooster was so frustrated that he wanted to pay for a proper meal.

Shen Yijia did not know that Rooster had so many thoughts in his heart. She stuffed the steamed bun in her hand into her mouth and took out three copper coins from her purse.

Da Hua had said that one should not reveal their wealth when they were outside. She still had to find her husband. She could not be delayed by other matters.

Moreover, she had left most of the money to Madam Li and the others. What if the money was spent before she could find her husband?

Without caring if Rooster had finished eating, she stood up and said, “Let’s go.”

When Rooster heard this, he quickly threw the last piece of pickled vegetables in his plate into his mouth. “It would have been nice if there was another bowl of porridge.” he thought.

Shen Yijia thought that as long as she acted poor enough, she would not encounter any robberies. However, before she could reach the door, a greasy hand suddenly reached out and blocked her way.

“Young lady, I think you’re not full yet. How about I treat you to a good meal upstairs?”

Shen Yijia paused and looked at the fat ball that was blinking at her. She nodded and thought to herself that Da Hua was not thorough enough. Her good looks attracted trouble, too.

The fat ball thought that she had agreed and immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum. Because he was too fat, his facial features were squeezed together. He rubbed his hands and was about to hug Shen Yijia’s waist.

Shen Yijia s.h.i.+vered and shouted, “Rooster.”

It was not that she did not want to hit this fat ball, but she did not know where to start when she saw his greasy fat.

Rooster was still holding a steamed bun in his hand. When he heard her shout, he reflexively rushed in front of Shen Yijia. The fat ball’s hand landed on his waist. The two of them looked at each other and were stunned.

Shen Yijia s.h.i.+vered and walked past the two of them.

“Stop her!” Fatty shouted from behind. Two servants immediately surrounded her.

Shen Yijia frowned impatiently and kicked the person in front of her.

Rooster also reacted. He was so disgusted that he almost threw up the steamed bun he had just eaten. He punched the fat ball in the face.

Two cries of pain sounded one after another, and chaos broke out in the restaurant lobby.

Shen Yijia kicked another servant out. Seeing that Rooster had also knocked Fatty down, she clapped her hands and called out to him, “Let’s go.”

The onlookers were in an uproar. They pointed at the fat ball and whispered.

“Stop, stop!” The fat ball got up and ran to the two of them. Although he was fat, he was quite agile. From afar, he looked like a rolling ball.

Shen Yijia narrowed her eyes, killing intent flas.h.i.+ng across her eyes.

The fat ball shrank its nonexistent neck and said weakly, “I’ll tell you. No one has ever refused a meal that Qian Youde wants to treat someone to.”

He waved to the side. Shen Yijia thought that he was about to call for help again, but a servant who had just gotten up quickly placed a bulging money bag in his hand.

Qian Youde proudly shook the money bag at Shen Yijia. Seeing that she was unmoved, he smiled awkwardly. He grabbed Rooster’s hand and stuffed the money bag over. He snorted. “I’m treating you to a meal.”

With that, he took out a folding fan from his waist and opened it. He shook it twice in what he thought was a gentlemanly manner and left with his two servants.

Looking at the three of them limping away, Shen Yijia’s lips twitched. Her mind was filled with confusion.

She didn’t know what he was thinking, but she felt that this person must be rich and stupid. In her two lifetimes, this was the first time she had seen someone who was in such a hurry to give someone money after being beaten up.

Could it be that he had m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic tendencies? She glanced at the money bag in Rooster’s hand. Did she hit him too lightly just now? She secretly decided to find this person and beat him up whenever she ran out of money in the future.

Qian Youde, who had given away a money bag in order to avoid embarra.s.sment, s.h.i.+vered inexplicably.

“Young Madam, this…” Rooster was also dumbfounded as he held the money bag. He didn’t know if he should throw it away or not.

Shen Yijia said, “Just take it.”

There was a moment of silence.
