With the side dishes given by Madam Liao, Shen Yijia drank two bowls of porridge in a row. If Song Jingchen wasn’t afraid that she would feel bloated and thus stopped her from eating, she would have finished the entire pot of porridge.

It was a dreamless night. Early the next morning, Shen Yijia woke up to deafening explosions.

She suddenly sat up from the bed. At this moment, Song Jinghuan’s voice sounded from outside the door.

“Sister-in-law, are you awake?”

Shen Yijia reached out and touched the outside of the bed. It was no longer warm, so Song Jingchen had already woken up long ago.

“You’re awake. Come in,” she said.

Song Jinghuan came in with a basin of water. Seeing that she was still sleepy, he couldn’t help but complain, “Did the commotion outside wake you up? The Wu Kingdom’s army is too hateful. They don’t stop for a day, but they can’t be chased away either…”

Seeing that she was nagging non-stop, Shen Yijia asked in amus.e.m.e.nt, “Are you not angry with me anymore?”

Song Jinghuan blushed and turned around in embarra.s.sment to put the basin away. “I’m not angry at Sister-in-law.”

Shen Yijia put on her shoes and got out of bed. She leaned over to look at her.

“No? Then who pretended to faint last night and ignored me?”

“Sister-in-law.” Song Jinghuan begged for mercy. “I know you and Big Brother are doing this for my own good. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have thrown a tantrum. Please forgive me.”

She was dressed as a man in a simple cotton s.h.i.+rt that was convenient for movement. Because she was young, she did not look suspicious even when cross-dressing.

However, if Sun Hao and the others saw this, their jaws would definitely drop.

Was this still the young general they knew who liked to pretend to be an adult? Shen Yijia pinched her face and said generously, “Sure.”

After was.h.i.+ng up, she thought about what Song Jinghuan had said when he entered. She asked again, “The Wu Kingdom’s army came to attack the city, did your brother go to the city tower?”

“I think so. However, Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry. They come here once a day. Sometimes, they come again at night after the day. I didn’t let them in in the past. Now that Big Brother is here, they have even less of a chance to do so.”

What she did not say was that many soldiers died every day while defending the city, and the morale of the soldiers was getting lower and lower. If they continued to be pa.s.sive, the city would fall into chaos before the Wu Kingdom’s army could attack.

Fortunately, Big Brother was here now.

Shen Yijia nodded. She did not understand war, but she trusted her beautiful husband.

Song Jinghuan was afraid that she would think too much, so he changed the topic and said, “Actually, I didn’t see him when I woke up. It was Auntie Liao who asked me to accompany you at home today.”

Shen Yijia raised her eyebrows. ‘You don’t look too happy.”

Song Jinghuan quickly shook his head. “No, no. What’s so fun about fighting and killing? Of course it’s more important to accompany Sister-in-law.”

In any case, she was just part of the cook’s army now. Even if she went, she could only boil water and cook for everyone. She had no chance to go to the battlefield at all. She might as well accompany her sister-in-law.

Seeing through her thoughts, Shen Yijia looked at her with a faint smile.

Song Jinghuan smiled ingratiatingly. “Sister-in-law, you must be hungry. Brother specially instructed me to leave breakfast in the kitchen for you. I’ll bring it over for you.”

Shen Yijia was embarra.s.sed. “There’s no need. I’ll eat by myself.”

When she pa.s.sed by the table in the middle of the room, Shen Yijia paused. She picked up the book on it and casually flipped through two pages. She muttered, “Hubby, did you prepare this because you were afraid that I would be bored? Wouldn’t it be even more boring to look at this thing?”

It wasn’t that she was narcissistic, but she knew that Song Jingchen wouldn’t leave books lying around, not to mention that they were placed in such a conspicuous position.

Song Jinghuan looked over and exclaimed, “It’s the military records of the previous dynasty.”

Shen Yijia glanced at her. She was too narcissistic. This book was not prepared for her at all.

Song Jinghuan scratched her head and explained, “Yesterday, Big Brother mentioned the fierce general of the previous dynasty, Zong Zhou, to me. He stopped right after mentioning his existence, so I thought about it all night.”

So that was the case. Shen Yijia handed the book to her. “Take a look first. I’ll go and eat breakfast.”

Song Jinghuan took the book and wanted to say yes, but she thought of something and shook her head. “I’ll accompany Sister-in-law. It’s the same if I read the book later.”

Shen Yijia narrowed her eyes. “Apart from asking you to accompany me, what else did your brother say? Like keeping an eye on me and not letting me go out?”

Song Jinghuan looked guilty. “Sister-in-law.”

“Hmph, let’s go.” Anyway, this girl couldn’t stop her if she really wanted to leave.

However, Song Jingchen knew her well. How could he not have thought of this?

Just as Shen Yijia finished filling her stomach and was about to trick Song

Jinghuan into leading the way for her, You Yi appeared with three black orbs.

“Miss, Young Master gave you these two b.a.l.l.s of black gunpowder. This is from me.. Do you want to study it?”
