Chapter 282: Qian Youde With Other Intentions
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The winter in the north was cold to begin with, and the curtain of the carriage fluttered.
Zhou Qing seemed to read his mind. He said, “I’ll go out and take a look.” Then, he lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
There was no one else in the carriage. Lord Zhou moved his frozen body and changed his posture. He reached out and rubbed his hands.
He originally thought that Zhou Qing would bring Eunuch Li over. At the very least, he would bring the younger eunuch that followed Eunuch Li around.
Unexpectedly, only one person came back.
Lord Zhou sat back down and glanced at Zhou Qing.
Only then did Zhou Qing stammer, “Eunuch Li said that His Majesty can’t lose face. He doesn’t mind catching a cold.”
He did not dare to say that he had seen the young eunuch wrap the carriage in oil paper when he went over. The carriage was even covered with a thick blanket.
Eunuch Li looked like he was going to spend the night in the carriage. Moreover, with those things, how could he feel cold sitting inside?
In comparison, he was too incompetent as a follower, so he naturally did not dare to say anything.
Lord Zhou stayed silent.
It was unknown if the heavens were deliberately making things difficult for them, but as soon as the city gate closed, snow began to fall from the sky.
If the snow had started 15 minutes earlier, Lord Zhou would have brought the team into the city. Now…
Looking at the closed city gate, he was so angry that he almost died on the spot.
The accompanying soldiers looked at the city gate in front of them, but they still had to stay here in the snow. All of them were angry but did not dare to say anything.
They could only obediently take out their tents and make do with it for the night.
“It’s snowing!” Shen Yijia ran to the porch and looked at the falling snow. She could not help but think of when she was in Xiagou Village.
The family would usually be gathered in the central room to chat and tease each other in order to save firewood. They had only spent a year together.
However, she felt that those memories were even more memorable than the ten years she had lived in her previous life.
Moreover, looking at the current situation, she probably couldn’t go back to spend New Year’s Eve with her family.
“Be careful not to catch a cold.”
As this voice sounded, a cloak was draped over her.
Shen Yijia turned around and giggled at Song Jingchen. She reached out her hands. “I’m not cold. If you don’t believe me, feel it.”
Song Jingchen chuckled and was about to hold her hands when an annoying voice interrupted.
“Brother Song, I’m cold. Feel it. I’m about to freeze to death. Can you get someone to add a charcoal basin to my room tonight?” This was such a big house, but he was so stingy that he couldn’t even bear to put a charcoal basin in it for him. This was too much.
Shen Yijia and Song Jingchen’s faces darkened almost at the same time. They turned to look at Qian Youde.
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “You actually want my beautiful husband to touch you? Dream on.”
This person was really asking for a beating. When he was told to move out, he said that he was Song Jingchen’s underling. When that didn’t work, he said that he had money to pay for the house.
After these two tactics were useless, he began to pretend to be pitiful, act shamelessly, and make a scene.
He said that he came to this godforsaken place because he was concerned about Shen Yijia. He had even treated Shen Yijia to a meal back then. How could she be ungrateful?
He could talk about everything.
It was an eye-opener for Shen Yijia. She hated the fact that there was no mental hospital here. Otherwise, she would have tied this person up and sent him in.
Although she had indeed earned some money from him, it was unforgivable for him to disturb her alone time with her beautiful husband.
Being stared at by the couple at the same time, Qian Youde was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
“Well, calm down. I’m here to say goodbye.” The two of them wanted to hit him, but the ones who usually attacked him were Mo Yuan and Thirty Thousand. Qian Youde was afraid of being beaten up.
Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
Song Jingchen snorted and waited for him to continue.
As expected, Qian Youde continued, “It’s absolutely true. I was originally here to bid farewell, but halfway through, it suddenly snowed. What does that mean? It means that the heavens are unwilling to let me leave and are asking me to stay.
“That’s why I thought about it. I go against what the heavens want.”
“I’m just here to tell you that I’ve decided to stay for a few more days before leaving.”
Realizing that she had been tricked again, Shen Yijia gritted her teeth and roared, “Qian Youde, you’re asking for a beating again.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she clenched her fists and punched Qian Youde.
Qian Youde was shocked and turned to run.
Song Jingchen had already flashed behind him and pinned him down.
Shen Yijia’s small fist hit his eye.
Qian Youde’s eyes instantly darkened. Seeing that Shen Yijia wanted to do it again, he rolled his eyes and fell towards Song Jingchen.
Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows and dodged to the side.
With a bang, Qian Youde fell to the ground.
Shen Yijia gasped and covered her face. It hurt to look at.
Qian Youde, who had pretended to faint, really fainted now.
Song Jingchen glanced at South Wind, who immediately picked him up and threw him at the courtyard door.
In any case, Qian Youde’s two servants would come and carry him away soon. Everyone was already used to it.
Shen Yijia laughed. “He’s so fun.”
Song Jingchen pursed his lips. If not for the fact that this person was still useful, he would have thrown him out long ago.
“I know everything.” Shen Yijia suddenly blinked at Song Jingchen, but she didn’t say what she knew. She turned around and jogged back to her room.
Her beautiful husband did not say anything. He was always making her guess his intentions, so this time she let him guess what she meant.
Song Jingchen chuckled. This girl had become smarter.
In the wing, Shuan Zi and Zhu Zi looked helpless. One used a handkerchief to cover Qian Youde’s eyes, and the other helped him change his dirty clothes.
“Young Master, why are you doing this? What good will it do you to deliberately provoke that couple?” Zhu Zi took the handkerchief off Qian Youde’s face with a strange expression.
In the past, he knew that her young master liked to play. Why didn’t he realize that he had masochistic tendencies?
He clearly had to be carried back every time he ran to the backyard, but he still enjoyed it.
“What do you know?” Qian Youde suddenly opened his eyes and said faintly.
He kicked Shuan Zi away and glanced at Zhu Zi. “This is called going deep into the enemy’s camp to investigate the enemy’s situation. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle, understand?”
Zhu Zi rolled his eyes. “Does Young Master Song and his wife have a grudge against you?”
Qian Youde shook his head and looked at the pillar as if he was looking at an idiot. “No!”
“Then what kind of enemy are you asking about?”
Qian Youde rolled his eyes and subconsciously wanted to answer, but he stopped himself. He sat up from the bed and knocked Zhu Zi on his forehead. “Why are you asking so many questions?”
“Have you learned to pry into my thoughts now?” he asked.
Zhu Zi hurriedly begged for mercy and said with a bitter expression, “I wouldn’t dare. I just can’t bear to see you get injured every day. If Madam finds out, her heart will ache.”
“She would think that Shuan Zi and I didn’t take good care of you. When the time comes, the two of us will have to bear the consequences.”
Shuan Zi quickly nodded in agreement.
Qian Youde rolled his eyes. “I think the last sentence is what you’re more concerned about.”
