The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool Chapter 304 - Too Late

Chapter 304: Too Late
“Oh my, I’m so tired. Hurry up. They’re all over there. Let’s go over quickly.”
A sudden voice sounded.
The gloomy atmosphere was instantly destroyed, and the chanting was no longer orderly.
Only Liu Piaopiao’s cries were still intermittent. Shen Yijia held her forehead and walked over to take off her cloak to put it on her.!!
The next moment, another cloak was draped over her. She turned around and blinked at Song Jingchen.
At this moment, the owner of the voice appeared in everyone’s sight.
“Look who I brought back for you,” Qian Youde shouted at the top of his lungs.
Shen Yijia turned around and saw Qian Youde being carried over by two soldiers. The people behind him were carrying two people.
“It’s Senior Brothers Yan Ming and Yan Song,” Wu Chen said in surprise, revealing the identities of the two people.
Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows.
“Are they from the temple? I picked them up from the roadside. Since there was only one temple nearby, I brought them back for you.” After saying that, Qian Youde patted the arm of the soldier who was carrying him, indicating for the two of them to put him down.
“What’s going on?” Shangguan Han asked Meng Jiang unhappily. His men were being ordered around by Qian Youde.
Meng Jiang scratched his head and explained how he met Qian Youde at the foot of the mountain.
Qian Youde originally followed Shangguan Han and the others out of the city gate, but Qian Youde was unreasonable. He felt that it was too cold and insisted on taking the carriage. Soon, they left him behind.
He was not in a hurry. He traveled slowly and saw two monks who had fainted by the roadside for some reason. He thought that saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda. He thought about how he happened to be going to Jing’an Temple, so he picked them up and brought them back in the carriage.
Of course, this was only what Qian Youde said to Meng Jiang. As for the truth, only Qian Youde knew.
Qian Youde’s carriage swayed to the foot of the mountain and met Meng Jiang and the others. They were about to go up the mountain when it snowed, so they could only rest in the carriage for the night.
When the snow stopped, he tricked Meng Jiang into sending people to carry him up the mountain. This was the scene they were seeing now.
Meng Jiang probably felt embarrassed and did not say how he had deceived him.
Shangguan Han glared at Meng Jiang. He had walked up the mountain on his own.
“What’s wrong with these two?” Song Jingchen went forward to check.
Qian Youde sighed. “Who knows? They might have fainted from the cold.”
“Go, think of a way to wake him up first,” Shangguan Han instructed before Song Jingchen could speak. These two people were the key to this incident.
He wanted to see who was so bold.
As soon as Shangguan Han left, the soldiers naturally followed.
Qian Youde rolled his eyes. These people didn’t even give him the credit. If it weren’t for him…
He looked around and saw that the atmosphere was not right. He leaned close to Shen Yijia’s ear and asked, “What’s going on? Did someone die?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was gagged and pulled away by South Wind, who received Song Jingchen’s gaze.
Without Qian Youde, the troublemaker, the surroundings finally returned to normal.
Seeing that Liu Piaopiao was still crying even though she could not kneel steadily, Shen Yijia did not know how to comfort her. She pursed her lips and went forward to knock her out.
There was a moment of silence. Shen Yijia did not care at all. She waved her hand and asked Mo Yuan to send her back to her room.
“Don’t think about it. You didn’t do anything wrong.” From the moment this happened, Song Jingchen saw that Shen Yijia had been unhappy, so he rubbed her head to comfort her.
Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks and said with a straight face, “I know. I’m thinking about what she’ll do in the future.”
Liu Piaopiao had been doted on by her parents since she was young. Now, she had become an orphan like her. She was used to it and didn’t think much of it, but Liu Piaopiao was different.
After all, children who had never eaten candy would not miss the taste of it.
Song Jingchen pinched Shen Yijia’s cheek in amusement. “She’s not a child anymore. You don’t have to worry about her.”
She was still a silly girl who knew nothing. So what if Liu Piaopiao cried now? It would probably be impossible for her to live in Xunyang City in the future.
Shen Yijia wrinkled her nose indignantly and grabbed Song Jingchen’s hand that was messing around on her face. “Let’s go back to our room and put on more clothes.”
She could not let her beautiful husband freeze to death. As for Liu Piaopiao, she would help her when she could.
“Eh, where did Master go?” Wu Chen was the youngest and was not focused on chanting. From time to time, he would look around and he realized that someone was missing.
As soon as he spoke, the other monks looked around. Indeed, they did not see the head monk.
“Strange, he was still here just now.”
Song Jingchen was pulled by Shen Yijia for a distance. When he heard this, he suddenly turned around and asked coldly, “When did he disappear?”
Wu Chen shivered in fear and quickly hid behind the monk beside him. He whispered, “I don’t know. I saw it when the two senior brothers were brought back just now.”
Song Jingchen narrowed his eyes. “Where’s the head monk’s room?”
“Hubby, are you suspecting that he-” Shen Yijia was shocked. No way, that head monk didn’t look like a bad person.
“His room is at-”
“What are you still doing? Lead the way.” Song Jingchen didn’t refute. Shen Yijia knew that she had guessed correctly. If the head monk was the one hiding behind the scenes, they couldn’t let him escape.
“Oh, okay.” With that, Wu Chen ran off. Shen Yijia and Song Jingchen quickly followed.
The remaining monks looked at each other. Why was their master involved?
The monks lived a little away from the devotees. The road was covered in snow. Shen Yijia despised the fact that they were running too slowly, so she picked them up.
Wu Chen was stunned.
Shen Yijia roared, “Tell me the direction.”
Wu Chen pointed.
Looking at the person who instantly rushed out like a steel cannon, Song Jingchen held his forehead. Had his wife forgotten about him?
Even though they reacted quickly and ran, they were still too late. When they reached the door of the head monk’s courtyard, they saw thick smoke rising from the house.
“Master?” Wu Chen exclaimed.
It was impossible for the house to catch fire for no reason. Even a fool would know who started the fire.
Shen Yijia frowned and threw him to the ground. She wanted to rush in and capture the head monk.
Song Jingchen quickly pulled her back. “Don’t go. It’s too late.”
The fire was about to spread outside. There was no need to think about the situation inside.
“What are these people thinking? Why do they like to burn themselves so much?” Shen Yijia said angrily.
If he committed suicide, she could save him even if he was still alive, right? Although it was a waste of spiritual liquid, she was still willing to save him for the sake of the truth. At most, she would kill him after asking!
Shangguan Han narrowed his eyes at the collapsing beam and said coldly, “To destroy the evidence.”
This person was probably the biggest culprit here.
“Quick, quick!” Shangguan Han rushed over with his men and was dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of him.
He had just interrogated the two other monks and rushed over with his men to capture the head monk, but in the end…
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. If they came any later, there would only be dust left.
