Xuanyuan Ziming waved his hand to dismiss them.

“Tell me, who instructed you? Who else in Phoenix City is your accomplice?”

Actually, when Thirty Thousand found him, he only said that the commoners were gathering here to cause trouble. Song Jingchen asked him to capture a soldier called Jia Quan. Xuanyuan Ziming was still confused about the rest.

But didn’t they always ask the same question?

“What instigation? What accomplice?” Jia Quan was stunned for a moment. Seeing Xuanyuan Ziming frown, he was afraid that he would be escorted to the quarantine area in the next moment. He quickly said, “Your Highness, I was possessed. I shouldn’t have stolen it, but I did this alone. There’s really no accomplice.”

“Steal?” Xuanyuan Ziming looked at Song Jingchen, who shook his head.

Seeing his reaction, Jia Quan knew that his theft had not been discovered at all. He could not help but look vexed, but he did not dare to hide it anymore. “I saw that most people in this city only left a few old women to guard the house, so I secretly sneaked in and stole some valuable items. I wanted to exchange them for money in the future.”

“I really know my mistake. I won’t dare to do it again. Your Highness, please spare me this time.” Jia Quan kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Xuanyuan Ziming asked where the items were hidden and got someone to verify it. As expected, they found a lot of wealth.

Jia Quan explained why he wanted to run. With those items as evidence, it didn’t look like he was lying, but this wasn’t what Song Jingchen wanted to hear.

After Shen Yijia told him about the injury yesterday, he felt that something was wrong. He originally wanted to investigate this person called Jia Quan today, but he did not expect this to happen so early in the morning.

He did not believe that there were so many coincidences.

“Do you still remember my wife?” Song Jingchen asked.

Jia Quan carefully looked up at Shen Yijia and quickly lowered his head. “I remember. Because Madam was injured, I was worried that Madam would fall sick. I even asked around yesterday.”

Shen Yijia stayed at home yesterday. Because he was worried, he could only ask around. Everything made sense.

Not only that, but this also explained why everyone knew that Shen Yijia was injured.

Song Jingchen suddenly smiled. He looked very good when he smiled, like a poppy blooming, making Xuanyuan Ziming shiver for no reason. Unfortunately, Jia Quan lowered his head and didn’t see him.

“What happened this morning has nothing to do with him. You can deal with it yourself,” he said.

Xuanyuan Ziming understood and raised his voice. “You relied on your position to commit theft. Drag him away and flog him twenty times. Return all the stolen assets.”

“If I discover anyone doing such a thing again in the future, don’t blame me for being merciless.”

At such a special time, 20 strokes of the cane was definitely not light.

Jia Quan still wanted to beg for mercy, but he was dragged away.

Song Jingchen’s eyes darkened. Without waiting for the others to speak, he said in a low voice, “Send someone with better skills to follow him. Don’t alert the enemy.”

“Let You Er go,” Ji Luo said.

Because of this, everyone was in a bad mood.

“Chu Feng, go and find out who the person Ma San mentioned is.” After giving the instructions, Xuanyuan Ce paused and said, “Go and tell them that Jiajia is my daughter. I’ll see who else dares to have designs on her.”

He wanted those commoners to think twice because of this, so Ji Luo did not object.

However, at this moment, they did not expect that someone who was about to lose her loved ones would be able to do anything.

Xuanyuan Ziming finally understood the situation from Thirty Thousand. He naturally felt that it was ridiculous and said worriedly, “Why don’t I send Jiajia out of the city first?”

Shen Yijia pursed her lips. “Someone is clearly trying to harm me. Even if I want to leave, I have to find that person first. Otherwise, they’ll think that I’m afraid.’

Xuanyuan Ziming knew Shen Yijia’s personality and did not persuade her further. He left a few people behind to repair the courtyard door and said that he would get someone to investigate first.

Everything in the city depended on him. If not for Song Jingchen’s help, he

probably wouldn’t have had time to sleep.

After the outsiders left, Shen Yijia hesitated for a moment before asking,

“Mother, can my blood really treat the plague?”

Ji Luo’s pupils constricted. “They were spouting nonsense. How could you believe them?”

This was the first time her tone was so stern. She was clearly resistant to bloodletting.

Shen Yijia shook her head. “I don’t believe them. I’m just asking.”

Ji Luo closed her eyes. “I’m not sure if it’s useful, but don’t mention such things again.”

“I understand,” Shen Yijia said seriously. “Mother, don’t worry. Even if it’s useful, I won’t die for them.”

“Your daughter is really not that great.” she thought.

Ji Luo was still worried and reminded her not to go out for the next few days. Seeing that it was time to give Xuanyuan Ce acupuncture, she could not delay this treatment, so she could only bring Xuanyuan Ce into the house first.

Shen Yijia also brought Song Jingchen back to his room. Seeing that he didn’t say anything, she crossed her fingers guiltily and pursed her lips. “Hubby, did I get into trouble again?”

“No, this has nothing to do with you.” Song Jingchen pulled her into his arms and sighed. “I didn’t protect you well.”

“What does this have to do with you?” Shen Yijia looked up at her. “You’re not a worm in their stomach. How can you know what others are plotting?

Song Jingchen rubbed her head. “Are you hungry? Rest for a while. I’ll heat up breakfast and bring it in for you.”

“Alright.” Shen Yijia nodded repeatedly.

Not long after, the door was pushed open, but it was MO Yuan, not Song Jingchen.

“Young master brought Thirty Thousand out for an urgent matter and asked me to bring food over for Miss.”

Shen Yijia asked, “How long have they been out?”

“They just left.” MO Yuan glanced at her. “Young Master asked me to remind Miss not to go out.”

Shen Yijia was speechless.

“MO Yuan, you’ve changed.”

Now, not only did she listen to her mother, but she also listened to her beautiful husband. She was no longer the MO Yuan who only listened to her. MO Yuan paused and said seriously, “I just want Miss to be fine.”

“Alright, I was just joking with you.” Shen Yijia sat down at the table and scooped a mouthful of porridge into her mouth. Seeing that MO Yuan was still standing there, she waved her hand and said, ‘You should go and eat breakfast too. I can’t eat if you stand here.”

MO Yuan didn’t move.

“Then why don’t you sit down and eat with me?” Shen Yijia glanced at the dishes on the table. It was obvious that they were made according to her portion. There was not enough for two people at all. She changed her words and said, “If you really don’t believe me, go and bring another serving in. I really can’t eat if you stand there and watch.”

MO Yuan glanced at her again, as if trying to tell if she was telling the truth.

After a while, she left.

Shen Yijia was speechless and quickly ate the food on the table.

She obediently took a notebook and snuggled into the soft couch.

It was still about the scumbag and Madam Yu. Because of the plague later, the novels outside were not updated, and the family did not buy new ones.

Shen Yijia flipped through a few pages in boredom and sat up, staring at the last few sentences with a burning gaze.

The legitimate daughter of the Tian family wanted to kill her because she was jealous that her daughter had snatched her father away.

Madam Tian was referring to Madam Yu.. Then her daughter was Xuanyuan Ye!
