Chapter 314 - 314 Preparing to Leave

314 Preparing to Leave
They were all only twelve or thirteen years old. Shen Yijia looked at their wounds and felt a little helpless.
This was also the reason why she was unwilling to appear previously.
If she softened her heart and accepted them, they would be considered her people. She would have to protect them in the future.
Shen Yijia gritted her teeth and took a deep breath before saying, “I can accept you, but you have to sign an indenture agreement.”!!
The few of them did not hesitate and kowtowed happily. “Thank you, Madam. Thank you.”
Since she wanted them to sign a contract, they had to follow the normal process.
Shen Yijia asked Mo Yuan to bring them to take a hot shower while she went to look for Song Jingchen and asked him to help write a few contracts.
After the few of them signed and signed, Shen Yijia took out ten taels of silver and asked Mo Yuan to give it to them as compensation for their lives. After all, she was a principled person.
After giving them the money, Shen Yijia did not care if they took it themselves or sent it home.
The contract was stamped with an official seal, and the few of them completely became slaves.
The few people who had finished packing walked to Shen Yijia and knelt down. “Greetings, Madam.”
Shen Yijia was reading a book. When she heard this, she looked up at them. They were all wearing clothes with the same color and had their hair combed into two buns.
Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. It was beautiful!
Realizing that her gaze was too direct, she coughed dryly and asked, “What are your names?”
The few of them replied in unison, “Please give us names, Madam.”
Shen Yijia blinked. A name? She rubbed her chin and pondered. After thinking for a moment, she left them behind and ran out.
She was the one who named her beautiful husband’s people, so she would let her beautiful husband name her people.
It was only fair.
Under South Wind and Thirty Thousand’s envious gazes, Song Jingchen casually wrote down five names on the rice paper.
Indigo, Pinellia, Wolfiporia, Ginkgo, and Kaempferia.
“These seem to be medicinal herbs,” Shen Yijia said.
She hadn’t been sticking to Song Jingchen all these days. At least when Song Jingchen wasn’t around, Shen Yijia would ask Mo Yuan to teach her how to recognize medicinal herbs.
She had been tricked twice with drugs and didn’t want to be tricked a third time.
Therefore, recognizing medicine was only the first step. She still had to learn how to make poison.
Most importantly, she was determined to protect Song Jingchen. Of course, she had to learn more skills.
Shen Yijia gritted her teeth and endured for a month. She also memorized many medicinal herbs.
“Yes, that’ll make it easier for you to remember.” Shen Yijia had never hidden anything from Song Jingchen, so he was happy to see it happen.
However, Song Jingchen was thinking that Shen Yijia would have another ability to protect herself if he couldn’t take care of her.
The five of them had new names and identities and started to stay in the Shen residence.
They originally thought that they would serve their master like the maidservants in other families.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yijia did not let them get close to her at all. Instead, she threw them to Mo Yuan.
They were only given a mission to practice martial arts with Mo Yuan.
Shen Yijia expressed that she did not need anyone to serve her tea. She was not missing an arm or a leg.
What Shen Yijia did not know was that Liu Piaopiao, who had returned to her maternal family in Liang County, had fallen into an even more difficult situation than these girls.
Liang County was adjacent to Xunyang, and the news of Xunyang’s abductions was first spread there. No matter where the news went, everyone hated it.
As the culprit’s daughter, Liu Piaopiao was destined to be disliked.
Even the Zeng family’s business was affected. For this reason, other than the old madam, everyone in the Zeng family expressed their intention to send Liu Piaopiao away.
Liu Piaopiao did not want her grandmother to be put in a difficult position, so she took the initiative to move to the manor.
That night, looking at the sword that was suddenly pressed against her neck, Liu Piaopiao clenched her fists and tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart. “I want to see your master. I have something important to tell him.”
Because her parents had exposed them, she had long guessed that these people would not let her off. She had been waiting for them to find her.
The man in black was a little surprised by Liu Piaopiao’s reaction. She was more courageous than Liu Deyi.
But so what? Eldest Young Master only asked him to kill people. Thinking of this, he exerted more strength.
A line of blood quickly appeared on Liu Piaopiao’s neck. She did not dare to keep them in suspense anymore. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. “I know who has the list of those girls. If the list is sent to His Majesty…”
There were undercurrents everywhere in Great Xia, and the Wu Kingdom was not peaceful either.
In the past month, the Wu Kingdom had undergone earth-shattering changes. Emperor Wu was seriously ill, the crown prince was in charge of the country, and General Yan fell unconscious from an assassination attempt. Then, there were assassins.
In order to catch the assassins, the crown prince ordered the city gate to be sealed. The soldiers searched every house, causing the commoners to complain.
Although the city gate was opened later, because the assassins had not been caught, everyone had to be searched regardless of whether they were entering or leaving.
In the cellar of a house, Ghost Face was leaning against the wall, covered in blood. Beside him lay Yan Guangmao, who was still unconscious.
The detoxification pills that Doctor Chang fed him could not completely detoxify the poison in his body.
Ghost Face was injured because he wanted to get the herbs to concoct the antidote from the pharmacy. He did not expect to be ambushed.
“Young Master, bear with it. I’ll help you bandage it briefly first,” Doctor Chang said with a worried expression.
During this month, they had been hiding everywhere and could not find a chance to leave the city. However, the treatment for General Yan could not be delayed. Otherwise, he would not have taken the risk.
“I’m fine,” Ghost Face said coldly.
Unexpectedly, just as they finished bandaging, there was a commotion outside.
An officer came looking for them.
Ghost Face picked up his sword and stood up. “Stay here and guard my adoptive father. I’ll lure him away.”
This cellar was not considered a secret. Sooner or later, the soldiers outside would find this place. If they did not lure them away, they would only be waiting to be caught.
“Young Master, I’ll go.” Doctor Chang went forward to support him.
Ghost Face sneered and shook off Doctor Chang’s hand. “If you go, you’ll probably be captured before you can even escape this residence.”
With that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Doctor Chang closed his eyes and sighed. He muttered, “Princess, you must bless Young Master’s safe return.”
At this moment, it was already curfew. Other than the soldiers patrolling the streets, there was no one else on the streets.
A white light suddenly rose from somewhere. Seeing this, the soldiers quickly rushed towards the place where the white light rose.
“There’s something over there. Quick, everyone follow me!”
At the same time, two other people noticed this signal.
“Young Master…” Mo Yu looked at the white light.
The woman in red chuckled. “It seems that someone found him for us first. Let’s go.”
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was March. The weather in Xunyang City was getting warmer. Under Song Jingchen’s guidance, the commoners planted the potatoes.
They had already agreed to go to the Qilin Mountain, but because the weather was too cold, it had been delayed until now.
If nothing unexpected happened, Shen Yijia and Song Jingchen probably wouldn’t return to Xunyang City. Song Jingchen directly returned the deed and key to the Shen residence to Shangguan Han.
