The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool Chapter 383 - 383 Arrival

Chapter 383 - 383 Arrival

383 Arrival

Shen Yijia rented a boat with rooms to live in. Everyone was given a room.

South Wind and Thirty Thousand did not board the s.h.i.+p with them. Instead, they stayed in the inn and prepared to set off with Eunuch Deng’s men.

After all, they still had their luggage and Furball to take care of in the carriage. Those people’s target was Song Jingchen. If he left, the people left behind would be the safest.

It was naturally much faster when traveling by water.

However, to Shen Yijia, who was riding a boat for the first time, it almost took her life.

At first, she was the only one vomiting. Later on, Brother Hao and the other children vomited too.

Six out of eight people fell. This was even more serious than facing an a.s.sa.s.sin head-on. Song Jingchen asked the boatman to drive the boat slower and steadily.

Only then did Shen Yijia vomit less badly. She only vomited once or twice a day.

Shen Yijia even comforted Song Jingchen. “It’s fine. I’ll get used to it after vomiting. I saw that Nianci vomited a lot when she was pregnant. I’ll treat it as an early experience.”

Although she said that, Shen Yijia had no appet.i.te to eat. In just a few days, her entire face visibly lost weight.

Song Jingchen’s heart ached. He suggested that they dock the boat and take the land route.

Shen Yijia refused. They had spent so much money renting the boat. Even if they stopped midway through the journey, the boat driver would not refund it.

Most importantly, why did they use the waterway to shake off those people back then? It was to avoid trouble.

Song Jingchen had no choice but to guard her in the room and coax her to eat something every day.

It was fine if she didn’t eat it, but she vomited even more instead. The only things she could eat were the candied plums Song Jingchen had bought for her.

Fortunately, the other children were in better condition. To be precise, as long as they did not see Shen Yijia vomit, they would at most feel a little dizzy.

The s.h.i.+p traveled for nearly half a month before reaching a pier outside the capital. There were vendors coming and going at the pier, and many carriages for rent.

It would take about four hours to get to the city gate by carriage.

There were many boats of various sizes parked on the river. Song Jingchen stood on the deck with Shen Yijia.

The s.h.i.+ps in front of them docked one after another. It would not be their turn for a while.

Shen Yijia felt so uncomfortable that she frowned. If not for the fact that she did not know how to swim, she would have jumped into the river and swam over.

Song Jingchen seemed to see her anxiety and said to Madam Li, “I’ll bring Jiajia ash.o.r.e first.”

Before Shen Yijia could react to how he was going to bring her ash.o.r.e, the hand around her waist tightened. Then, she was lifted into the air.

Song Jingchen used his qinggong and soared into the sky with Shen Yijia. He stopped at the boat shed in front of him. He tapped his feet and flew up again.

After a few times, the two of them easily went ash.o.r.e.

A man in a black robe descended from the sky with a delicate girl in his arms. The two of them were extraordinary.

This scene stunned many people. The originally noisy dock was silent for a moment before erupting in enthusiastic cheers.

Shen Yijia was speechless.

If this were any other time, she would definitely raise her chin proudly. At the same time, she would scream in her heart that her beautiful husband was really amazing.

But these were different circ.u.mstances.

Her stomach was already churning violently. These few jumps made her feel as if something was stuck in her throat.

However, with so many people watching, she didn’t want Song Jingchen to embarra.s.s himself with her.

Hence, just as Song Jingchen was about to lower his head and ask her if she was fine, she suddenly pushed him away and ran to the side.

She ran towards a place with fewer people, but the two of them suddenly appeared and blocked her way. Shen Yijia did not stop in time and b.u.mped into the leader.

At the same time, the thing in her throat spewed out uncontrollably like a fountain.

She felt much more comfortable now.

She wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve and looked up at the person she had vomited all over.

He was wearing a blue brocade robe. He was tall, had sharp eyebrows, and a face like ice jade.

Even though she was used to Song Jingchen’s appearance, Shen Yijia was still stunned.

She looked down and noticed the filth on his clothes. Her face instantly turned red and she scratched her head in embarra.s.sment. “Beautiful Uncle, I’m sorry. How much are these clothes? I’ll pay for them.”

The two people opposite her were clearly stunned. They only reacted when she spoke.

Without waiting for the leader to speak, the follower behind him pulled out his sword and placed it on Shen Yijia’s neck. He shouted, “How dare you? Where did you come from?”

Before Shen Yijia could move, a hand wrapped around her waist and s.h.i.+elded her behind him. Song Jingchen had caught up.

The unruly commoner slipped away from his sword. The follower was furious and was about to rush up and take him down.

The man raised his hand. Although the follower was puzzled, he obediently put away his sword.

Seeing that the other party was not prepared to attack, Song Jingchen let go of Shen Yijia and took two steps forward. “My wife didn’t mean to offend you.”

The man didn’t seem to see Song Jingchen. He stared at Shen Yijia, who only revealed her eyes. “What did you call me just now?”

Shen Yijia blinked and walked out from behind Song Jingchen. “Uncle?”

Although this person was very good-looking, time did not leave any traces on his face.

However, his hair had turned white. She didn’t call him grandpa because he was good-looking.

Did he want her to call him Big Brother?

Just now, the white-haired man felt that Shen Yijia looked familiar. Unexpectedly, he was blocked before he could see her clearly.

Only then did he see her face clearly. His gaze swept across Shen Yijia’s smooth and fair forehead, and a complicated expression flashed across his eyes.

It was like disappointment and pain.

“It’s fine. You can leave.” He quickly retracted his gaze and said casually.

Even though his clothes were dirty, it did not affect his n.o.ble aura at all.

Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief. She was the one who had done something wrong first. If this person refused to give in, it would be difficult to beat him up.

However, she was not that irresponsible.

She took out her money bag and pulled out two taels of silver. She was about to hand it over when she thought about it and took it back.

Song Jingchen could tell what she was thinking. Shock flashed across his eyes, and he tried his best to suppress the smile on his face.

Did this girl know that those clothes were made of cloud brocade?

Shen Yijia did not know.

She put the silver fragment back into the money bag and rummaged through it again. After a long time, she found a piece of silver that was half the size of the previous one.

“Here, this is for you. Take it as my compensation,” Shen Yijia said generously.

Under the attendant’s shocked expression, the white-haired man reached out his hand.

Shen Yijia’s heart ached as she placed the silver in his hand.

At the same time, the guilt in her heart was swept away. She held Song Jingchen’s hand. “Hubby, let’s go.”

Song Jingchen glanced at the white-haired man and saw that he was still staring at Shen Yijia.

He frowned and pulled her in front of him before turning to leave.
