Chapter 255: Jiajia Protects Her Husband


Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


In Shen Yijia’s opinion, Xunyang had nothing to offer. Her beautiful husband even had to work late at night every day.


Those people did not remember his kindness. Since they still wanted to slander him like this, how could Shen Yijia tolerate it?


“Speaking of which, who is this Young Master Shenzhi? He wears a mask all day long and doesn’t show his face. Could it have been premeditated?”


“Who knows?”


“Didn’t you hear what they said? Young Master Shenzhi might be a Hun. Otherwise, how could the Hun army retreat so easily?

!!

“Perhaps they’re just putting on an act with the Huns to win our king’s trust.”


“Then what about His Highness? I heard that Doctor Fang hasn’t developed an antidote yet. Are we really going to let outsiders make decisions in our Xunyang City?”


“Don’t we still have a few generals around? No matter how powerful Young Master Shenzhi is, he’s only one person. In my opinion, we should capture him and make him hand over the antidote…”


A few vendors gathered around and talked about the rumors that had inexplicably appeared in the city these past few days.


“But I don’t think there’s a need for him to do that. Wouldn’t it be better to let the Hun army exhaust us to death?” Someone couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up for Young Master Shenzhi.


In fact, if not for the food he brought back, countless people would have starved to death in the city. Not everyone would listen to the rumors.


However, very few people dared to stand up and say anything. After all, it was their lord who was in trouble. It was not good to help anyone, so they simply kept quiet.


Moreover, even if someone stood up and said it, they would quickly be drowned out by more voices questioning Young Master Shen.


“Are you stupid? If the Huns exhausted us to death, they can only get our empty city. It’s different now. Everyone is grateful to Young Master Shen. When the time comes, he’ll directly…”


“Ah!” Before the man could finish retorting, he was kicked to the ground. He looked at the person who had kicked him angrily. He did not expect her to be a delicate young lady. He immediately blushed. “Why did you hit me?”


Shen Yijia retracted her foot and narrowed her eyes at the people present. Without a word, she clenched her fists and rushed forward.


She went out without telling her beautiful husband today to see who was badmouthing him. She did not expect there to be so many people who were not afraid of death.


She didn’t even need a whip to deal with these people. Her fists felt better. She punched them one by one and hit their faces.


“You crazy woman, let’s attack together…”


“Ah, stop.”


Soon, apart from those who spoke up for Song Jingchen, the few people surrounding him were all lying on the ground with swollen faces. The most serious one was the one who said that Young Master Shen was a spy for the Huns.


The surrounding commoners gathered in a circle and pointed. Naturally, there were also people who went to call for the city guards.


“Who’s causing trouble here? Stop quickly.” Soon, a group of people arrived. The leader started shouting from afar.


When the commoners heard this voice, they made way.


“General Meng is here.”


“This young lady is doomed. General Meng hates such people who cause trouble in the city the most. He definitely won’t let them off easily.”


Shen Yijia heard the discussions of the commoners, but her hands did not stop moving. When her hands got tired, she used her legs instead.


“Stop, I told you to stop.” Meng Jiang did not expect anyone in the city to dare to ignore his words. He roared and wanted to go up and capture the person with his back facing him.


Shen Yijia frowned. She turned around and kicked Meng Jiang away.


Fortunately, the people behind Meng Jiang caught him and prevented him from falling on his face.


There was a gasp from the crowd.


Oh, this young lady was doomed!


Meng Jiang covered his stomach, which felt like his internal organs had shifted. He stood up in pain and pointed at Shen Yijia. “How dare you…”


When he saw Shen Yijia’s face, he stopped talking. “Why is it you?”


“It’s me.” Shen Yijia’s expression was serious. She was thinking about whether this nosy person could be beaten up.


“What are you doing?” Meng Jiang did not know how to address the person in front of him. He only knew that she was Young Master Shenzhi’s wife. The two of them had always been inseparable.


Thinking of something, he turned around and looked around.


Shen Yijia snorted in disdain. “Stop looking. My husband isn’t here.”


These people came so quickly when she was beating someone up. Why didn’t they stop these people from spreading rumors? If these people could stop them, they wouldn’t have caused such a commotion.


Shen Yijia did not even look at Meng Jiang. She turned around and faced the surrounding commoners. She raised her voice and said, “Aren’t you bullying my husband because he’s magnanimous?


“Let me tell you, that’s because my husband is magnanimous. He works with integrity, and doesn’t need to explain himself.”


“But I’m different. Not only do I have a bad temper, but I also hate it when people badmouth my husband.”


“The next time I hear anyone say anything bad about my husband, I’ll pull out that person’s tongue.”


Her words frightened the few people who wanted to go up and complain when they saw Meng Jiang. They instantly shut their mouths and did not even dare to howl in pain.


“You, this…” Meng Jiang had a bitter expression and did not know what to say. He naturally knew the rumors spreading in the city. Not only did he know, but he also vaguely suspected that Young Master Shen was behind Shangguan Han’s poisoning.


If not for Zuo Fei stopping him, he would have brought people to question him.


Therefore, in the past few days, it was Zuo Fei who went to the prince’s residence to discuss matters with Young Master Shenzhi. He was afraid that he would offend him.


It would have been fine if he was the one who did it. If not, wouldn’t he have repaid kindness with ingrat.i.tude?


Someone in the crowd dared to ask, “Who’s your husband?”


After asking, they wanted to avoid him if they encountered him in the future.


Shen Yijia raised her chin proudly. “My husband was the one who thought of a way to block the Huns’ hara.s.sment for you.”


“He risked his life to rob the food from the Huns for you.”


“He helped you facilitate the retreat of the Huns.”


“In the end, he even had to endure you slandering him.”


The more she spoke, the more aggrieved Shen Yijia felt. She was so angry that she kicked those people again.


As she kicked, he could not help but complain, “If not for my husband, you would have long starved to death or died under the blades of the Huns.


“How can you still be alive to make sarcastic remarks? Did my husband save you so that you could slander him?” she thought.


“In that case, I’ll kill all of you ingrates now and pretend that my husband never saved you.” she thought.


“You heartless things!”


The commoners blushed at her sarcasm. Many people who had badmouthed Song Jingchen lowered their heads in shame.


Actually, they didn’t have any bad intentions. They were just too ignorant.


Now that they had been slapped in the face by Shen Yijia’s words, they all started to reflect in their hearts.


“Jiajia.”
