The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool-Chapter 20 - Teasing Brother Hao

Some of the commoners shook their heads and did not participate, but some still listened. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

They thought about it and felt that it made sense. If they encountered thieves, they would definitely not let the thieves off easily.

Why were the disinherited crown prince and the Bulwark Duke so rash and hungry for power? Couldn’t they have waited for the emperor to abdicate?

…

The discussion outside could be heard clearly in the carriage, and the atmosphere in the carriage instantly became ice cold.

Song Jingchen had been resting with his eyes closed since he got into the carriage. He didn’t open his eyes, but his fists were tightly clenched.

Perhaps he was trying his best to be as calm as he appeared.

In a private room on the third floor of Yuelai Restaurant, a handsome man in white robes stood there.

He listened to the discussions of the people below, but his gaze kept following the luxurious carriage.

“Thank you, Second Young Master, for helping my sister escape.” A feminine-looking man beside him said gratefully.

The young man in white smiled warmly, his peach blossom curving slightly. He shook his head and said, “I just can’t bear to see a beauty in prison.”

After saying that, he picked up a teacup and took a sip.

His movements were extremely elegant and pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, the commoners changed the topic again.

“By the way, did you hear that there was a huge incident in the capital yesterday? A thief entered Director Shen’s residence.

Madam Shen and her eldest daughter were beaten up in a sack in their own residence. Moreover, it was done in broad daylight! I wonder who did it.”

“Did he offend someone?”

“Who knows? My granduncle was invited to the Shen residence for a consultation yesterday. Oh my god, I heard that Miss Shen was beaten up so badly that her face resembles a pig now.” The person gestured exaggeratedly.

“Oh my, that thief is so ruthless. The young miss didn’t get disfigured, right?” someone asked.

“I can’t be sure about that…”

Everyone took it as a joke.

In the carriage, Shen Yijia’s mouth cracked wide open.

Song Jingchen, who had been quiet, suddenly opened his eyes.

Shen Yijia quickly stopped smiling and acted demurely. She lowered her head in guilt and fiddled with her clothes uncomfortably.

Song Jingchen was silent. He didn’t suspect the person in front of him at first.

However, when he heard about the Shen Residence, hhe subconsciously glanced at Shen Yijia. There was something he couldn’t understand.

No wonder he hadn’t seen Shen Yijia when he returned to the mansion yesterday.

The carriage moved slowly out of the downtown area and out of the city gates.

The twins had been up since early today, and they were beginning to feel sleepy from the swaying of the carriage.

With Sister Huan in Madam Li’s arms, Brother Hao leaned against Song Jingchen and started dozing off.

Shen Yijia was worried that Brother Hao would accidentally press against Song Jingchen’s leg, so she carried him in her arms.

Brother Hao opened his eyes in a daze and took a look. His eyes widened and he blushed.

Stuttering, he said, “Big… Sister-in-law… M-m-men and women shouldn’t touch each other… I’m not going to sleep anymore.”

“Pfft.” Shen Yijia was amused. How could this child be so funny? She flicked his head and said with a smile, “How old are you? You’re already aware that men and women shouldn’t touch each other? I’m your sister-in-law. Isn’t there a saying that a sister-in-law is like a mother? Are you also this picky when hugging your mother?”

Hao was taken aback. “Was there really such a saying?” he thought.

But it made a lot of sense.

However, the blush on his face did not fade. He stammered, “Thank… Thank you, Sister-in-law.”

Perhaps it was because he was too sleepy and was confused by Shen Yijia’s words, he fell asleep shortly after.

Shen Yijia looked at him and smiled.
