Chapter 245 - Song Jingchen Has To Take The

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Song Jingchen stepped forward and held her hand. He glanced at Shangguan Han and sneered. “I originally wanted to give you a bowl of soup every day, but it seems that you don’t need it.”

With that, he pulled Shen Yijia away. South Wind, Rooster and the others quickly followed. They all lived in the bamboo courtyard, but they were in the servants’ rooms.

Shangguan Han was shocked. His bowl of soup was gone just like that?

He quickly followed Song Jingchen and said, “I didn’t mean that. I’m not saying that Sister-in-law eats a lot. No, Sister-in-law is so thin. She should nourish herself more.”

Song Jingchen turned around and glanced at him coldly. Shangguan Han immediately stopped and didn’t dare to follow.

Song Jingchen said with a faint smile, “So save that bowl of soup for her.”

Shangguan Han was stunned. He made a final struggle as the few of them gradually left. “Can’t you just have half a bowl? Leave the other half for Sister-in-law.”

No one bothered with him.

Shangguan Han was speechless.

Initially, the servants felt that it was a pity that they could not eat meat. Now that they saw their master like this, they could not help but snicker.

Song Jingchen pulled Shen Yijia to her room and stopped. He was about to let go when Shen Yijia quickly grabbed him.

Meeting Song Jingchen’s puzzled gaze, Shen Yijia rubbed her nose and said a little shyly, “I can let you sleep in the same room as me today.”

Seriously, her husband was too passive. Why was she always the one taking the initiative?

“I never planned to sleep in the other room.” Song Jingchen thought.

Seeing that Shen Yijia was embarrassed, he nodded seriously. “I’ll try my best.”

“Try your best to coax me?” Shen Yijia thought. She grinned. Actually, she was no longer angry.

There was no need to worry about the Huns.

Song Jingchen knew that everyone who went with him tonight knew, but because of the two pheasants, he didn’t have time to tell Shangguan Han about this.

Therefore, everyone thought that since the Huns did not make a move yesterday, they were definitely going to make a move today.

After all, they had suffered a loss. It was impossible for them not to take action.

Therefore, everyone became nervous early in the morning and guarded the gates.

Even Shangguan Han was no exception. He personally climbed up the city wall.

Fifteen minutes passed, two hours passed, and half a day passed…

They didn’t see the Hun army. There wasn’t even a mosquito outside the city wall.

In the Hun army camp that they were worried about.

Zodar summoned all the generals. Everyone thought that they were going to discuss how to attack the city.

Unexpectedly, the moment the generals entered, they saw Zodar sitting at the main seat. Apart from him, there was a team of soldiers standing on both sides of him in the tent.

Seeing these soldiers, everyone looked at each other. They all understood that this was clearly not a meeting to discuss tactics.

Zodar quietly noted the expressions of the people who entered.

He did not speak, and the atmosphere in the tent became very strange.

The hot-tempered Monte slammed his palm on the table in front of him and stared at Zodar with a fake smile. “General Zodar, why did you call us over? We can’t stay here with you in a daze, right?”

Zodar glanced at him and raised his hand.

Soon, two soldiers dragging a corpse entered the tent.

When they reached the center, the two of them threw the corpse on the ground and bowed before leaving.

The generals present gasped when they saw who it was.

In addition, some people looked guilty or frightened.

Zodar took it all in. To his surprise, there were three people he trusted among them.

Seeing what he wanted to see, Zodar scanned the people below him and said slowly, “Ruo Houchan was my trusted aide.”

“Yesterday, he told me that not only did the little prince not die, but Kedun Chanyu was not killed by the Great Xia Dynasty. Instead, they were killed by Mungido Chanyu.”

“He claimed that we’ve all been deceived by Mungido Chanyu.”

As soon as he said this, the generals had different expressions.

Zodar took a long drink from his bowl, just as some people were about to lose their cool.

He threw the porcelain bowl at the corpse of Ruo Houchan and sneered angrily. “I think he was bribed by the people of Great Xia to sow discord.”

“I’ll be frank. If any of you dare to betray me again, you’ll end up like him.”

Monte silently withdrew his hand from the hilt of his knife.

There was a moment of silence in the tent. A few moments later, someone stood up and echoed, “The general is right. The Central Plains people are sinister and cunning. We must not fall for their schemes.”

“That’s right. If such a rumor-monger appears in the army again, there’s no need for the general to take action. We’ll naturally deal with him.”

“That’s right. The Great General is indeed wise. Otherwise, it would be terrible if that man’s scheme really succeeded.”

Zodar was in a good mood after being flattered by everyone. He laughed and scolded, “Damn you, I told you to study more, but you didn’t listen. Is this how you use your discerning eyes?”

“Haha!”

Everyone laughed at his words.

No matter what everyone was thinking, the atmosphere in the tent improved a lot.

Zodar waved for the soldiers in the tent to leave before entering the main topic to discuss the next battle plan.

Shen Yijia slept until late in the morning. When she woke up, there was no one beside her.

She quickly got up and changed her clothes. Mo Yuan might have heard the commotion from outside. When she was dressed, Mo Yuan brought in a basin of water to help her wash up.

Shen Yijia was stunned by her actions.

It was a little unbelievable. When she transmigrated, she was clearly a princess consort, but this was the first time she had been served like this.

After washing up, Mo Yuan walked to the dressing table without a word. She picked up a comb and looked at her. “Little Miss, let me help you comb your hair.”

Shen Yijia pursed her lips and sat in front of the dressing table.

From the bronze mirror, she could vaguely see Mo Yuan’s familiar movements. This meant that she had done this many times and was already familiar with it.

Shen Yijia hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mo Yuan, why were you staying at the pot lady’s place?”

Mo Yuan’s hands did not stop moving. She said emotionlessly, “I was waiting for Young Miss and Little Miss.”

“How long have you been waiting, then?”

Mo Yuan said, “Five years.”

Shen Yijia was shocked. Mo Yuan was 20 years old this year, which meant that she had been waiting since she was 15 years old.

She blinked, ready to ask another question. “Who told you to wait there?”

“My lady.”

Shen Yijia thought, “Will it kill you to talk more? Will it? Will it?”

She took a deep breath and tried to discern the situation from her words.

The ‘Little Miss’ Mo Yuan was talking about should be the daughter of her ‘Young Miss.’

Her lady had asked her to wait for them at the potter’s, but she never returned.

Why did this sound so much like the scene of parents abandoning their children?

Shen Yijia looked at the person in the reflection sympathetically and asked tentatively, “Could it be that they don’t want you anymore and deliberately lied to you?”

Mo Yuan paused and looked up to meet Shen Yijia’s gaze.
