462 Coincidental Encounter with Xuanyuan Ce (2)
She took out the banknotes and stuffed them all into the sack. When she noticed the name on the deed, her eyes widened.
Wang Ruxuan!
Wasn’t this the name of the original host’s mother?
Thinking of something, Shen Yijia almost laughed in anger.
Shen Pingxiu probably thought that after he killed Madam Wang, she would foolishly send her money to him. However, she handed the money to her daughter as a private stash.
Of course, Madam Chen’s own savings were also included, but did it matter?
It wasn’t important!
Shen Yijia would take it as interest for holding her assets for so many years.
Shen Yijia felt even more at ease taking her things.
An hour later, Shen Yijia carried the bulging sack in one hand and the smelly child in the other, preparing to leave through the back door.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, a commotion suddenly sounded in the originally silent Shen residence.
Had she been discovered? It was probably impossible for her to leave through the back door.
Shen Yijia turned around and walked another way calmly.
Looking at the tall courtyard wall in front of her and the things in her hand, she frowned. She put the child down and climbed up with the sack.
Behind this wall was an alley. As soon as Shen Yijia climbed up, she met the gaze of someone outside the wall.
“Beautiful uncle? Why are you here?” She was so excited that she even forgot to call him Lord.
After shouting, Shen Yijia realized that something was wrong.
She turned around and saw a masked man in black standing at the entrance of the alley with a cold sword.
“Oh, is this an assassination attempt?” she thought.
The man in black also saw her and paused.
Shen Yijia looked around but could not find anyone who could hit them. She dug out a gold bar from the sack and shook it.
She never expected that she would one day be able to enjoy the pleasure of smashing someone with gold.
However, when she looked up again, the man in black at the entrance of the alley had long disappeared.
“Huh? Why did he leave?” Wasn’t he going to give her a chance?
Xuanyuan Ce frowned and gestured subtly.
Shen Yijia looked in a certain direction. She did not realize that someone was hiding there just now.
The commotion behind her was getting closer and closer. Shen Yijia came back to her senses and waved at Xuanyuan Ce. “Beautiful uncle, take this.”
Xuanyuan Ce nodded and reached out to her.
Although it was a little unreasonable, it was an emergency.
Before Xuanyuan Ce could finish thinking, a sack fell on him.
Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.
It was unknown what was so heavy in the sack, but he staggered and almost missed it.
He looked up and saw that Shen Yijia had already disappeared. Soon, she appeared on the wall again.
Shen Yijia blinked. “Take another one.”
Seeing that it was a child who was thrown out, Xuanyuan Ce’s eyebrows twitched and he quickly caught him with both hands.
The next moment, he froze in place. The child was weightless and light.
However, it smelled so bad!
Shen Yijia jumped down from the wall. Seeing that he was still in a daze, she picked up the sack and waved at him. “Let’s leave this place first.”
Xuanyuan Ce resisted the urge to throw away the child in his arms and followed.
A carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Chu Feng was driving it.
Shen Yijia was even more puzzled. Chu Feng was around, and there were also people protecting the beautiful uncle. Why did he look like he was being hunted down when she saw him just now?
“Where are we going?” Xuanyuan Ce asked.
Shen Yijia blinked. “Alley Thirty-seven.”
As soon as the carriage left, a group of guards holding torches appeared in the alley.
However, it had nothing to do with Shen Yijia anymore.
It was unknown if the child was sick, but he had never woken up.
Shen Yijia sent him to the wine shop. Pinellia and Ginkgo were not around. Wolfiporia opened the door for them.
“Miss, why are you here so late?” Wolfiporia quickly invited her in.
Shen Yijia waved her hand and refused her offer. She pointed at the child in Chu Feng’s arms. “Find a doctor for him. When he wakes up, see if there’s anyone outside the capital who wants to adopt a child. Send him out of the capital.”
At first, she wondered where the Shen family’s child came from. After seeing that face clearly, she understood everything.
He was the son of the mistress and the younger brother of this body.
Shen Pingxiu was hateful. It was also hateful for his mistress to frame her, but this little fellow had never offended her.
Shen Yijia would not vent her anger on others. She would think of arranging a home for him and not leave him on the streets. It was also because of their bloodline.
Before leaving, Shen Yijia took out another gold bar from the sack and gave it to Wolfiporia. “This is for you. Hurry up and find a place to stay.”
