Shen Yijia provided the capital and expertise, while Shen Dali and the others worked hard to provide flowers for the workshop.

Of course, these were all proposed by Song Jingchen.

It was originally an employment relationship, but it suddenly became a partnership. Shen Dali and the others worked even harder.

It took less than a month to fill the flower fields. They even took turns guarding them.

Lin Shao did not expect Shen Yijia to become so powerful. Their family used to have a small flower field that was left behind by their ancestors. It had long been abandoned.

While he was worried that he was not up to the task, he was also excited. He secretly made up his mind to do a good job and not let Shen Yijia suffer a loss.

Everything was ready except for one thing.

Lin Shao and the others had recently picked many wildflowers from the mountains and started to create fragrant powders using the wildflowers.

They also organized the children in the village to gather the wildflowers together, and paid them a small sum for a fixed amount of flowers.

In the beginning, only several children helped them. Later on, the villagers saw that they could exchange these wildflowers for copper coins, many villagers took advantage of their break to pick some.

Shen Yijia specially went up the mountain. She caught a few pheasants and drove the carriage to town.

Song Jingchen went with her. Excluding the time he saved Shen Yijia, this was the first time Song Jingchen had come to town openly ever since he arrived at Xiagou Village.

Shen Yijia stopped the carriage at the entrance of the Full Fortune Restaurant.

When the waiter saw this familiar carriage, he was stunned for a moment before reacting. He quickly ran back to the shop and called for Shopkeeper Wang.

At first, Shopkeeper Wang liked Shen Yijia’s hunting skills. After interacting with her, he felt that this girl had a good character and sincerely treated her as a junior.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have specially asked the waiter to remind her of potential dangers.

Soon, Shopkeeper Wang came out of the shop. He had lost a lot of weight in the past few months, and his large belly had become much smaller.

Seeing Shen Yijia get out of the car, he leaned over happily. “Miss Shen, why are you here today?”

When County Magistrate Cao’s son died, rumors spread throughout the town. In order to find the culprit, County Magistrate Cao even caused a commotion in the town.

Later on, rumors spread that the culprit never got caught. Instead, not long after, the county magistrate’s family collapsed.

This made him much less worried about Shen Yijia. He was also happy that the corrupt officials had been punished.

However, he did not know that Shen Yijia was behind these incidents. The person who took down the county magistrate’s family was in fact in the carriage before his eyes.

Shen Yijia greeted him and turned around to take the pheasant from the car and handed it to the waiter. “This is for you!”

After saying that, she placed the wheelchair on the ground and carried Song Jingchen down.

Her beautiful husband’s legs had recovered. She took advantage of any opportunity to hug him.

Shen Yijia’s movements were slow. It seemed to others that it took a lot of effort to carry a grown man, and that she was simply being careful.

Seeing through her thoughts, Song Jingchen felt helpless and amused.

After putting Song Jingchen in the wheelchair, Shen Yijia rubbed her nose and grinned at him.

Shopkeeper Wang was stunned for a moment when he saw her actions. When he saw Song Jingchen’s face clearly, he paused.

“Young Lady Shen, this is?”

“My husband.” Shen Yijia raised her chin proudly.

“I’ve heard about you from my wife. Thank you for looking out for her,” Song Jingchen said.

It was obvious that the two had visited for a specific purpose. Shopkeeper Wang brought the two of them to the backyard.

Shen Yijia did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that there was something wrong with Shopkeeper Wang today. He seemed to be speaking carefully.

Before he could ask, Shen Yijia had already explained her intentions.

Well, this was the only person she knew well here. Who else could she ask for help?

When he heard that they were looking for a shop, Shopkeeper Wang slapped his forehead and said with a smile, “What a coincidence. My wife originally ran a ready-to-wear shop. However, she had to shut it down because of the recent disaster. If you think it’s suitable, I’ll transfer that place to you.”

When Shen Yijia heard this, she did not think too much about it. After all, she had just taken a look and saw that many shops were closed.

She felt that her luck was really good. The more she looked at Shopkeeper Wang, the more she liked him. She also wanted to settle down as soon as possible. “Then get someone to bring me over to take a look.”

Shopkeeper Wang did not waste her time and immediately asked the waiter to call Madam Du over.

What made Shen Yijia’s eyes widen was that Madam Du had a slender figure. She had willow-shaped eyebrows and an oval face. She was wearing an autumn-colored peony dress and looked dignified, gentle, and beautiful.

It didn’t match Shopkeeper Wang at all.

Shen Yijia glanced at Shopkeeper Wang, who was smiling when he saw his wife enter. She thought to herself that this person had hidden his skills well. He must be quite special to be able to find such a beautiful wife.

Shopkeeper Wang was puzzled by her gaze. Madam Du smiled and said, “This must be the Young Lady Shen that my husband often mentions. You’re indeed an iconic figure.”

As she spoke, she took a few steps over and held Shen Yijia’s hand. “My surname is Du. You can call me Madam Du.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shopkeeper Wang coughed dryly.

Everyone present looked at him. Shopkeeper Wang smiled awkwardly and relayed Shen Yijia’s words to Madam Du.

Surprise flashed across Madam Du’s face. She smiled and agreed, pulling Shen Yijia away.

Shen Yijia naturally would not forget her beautiful husband and quickly looked at him. The latter smiled gently. “Go with Madam Du. I’ll wait for you here.”

“Then tell Shopkeeper Wang directly if you need anything. I’ll be back soon.” Shen Yijia also felt that Song Jingchen would definitely be embarrassed if he had to join their conversation, so she didn’t force him to follow.

After the two of them left, Shopkeeper Wang stopped smiling and cupped his hands at Song Jingchen. “I’ll bring Young Master Song to the study.”

Song Jingchen nodded and didn’t refuse.

The two of them entered the study. After the waiter served the tea and left, Shopkeeper Wang suddenly knelt down in front of Song Jingchen. “Greetings, Eldest Young Master!”

He kept his voice low, obviously trying to control something.

Song Jingchen helped him up. Only then did Shopkeeper Wang turn his gaze to his legs and sob. “Eldest Young Master, your legs…”

“It’s fine. I’m already used to it.” Song Jingchen waved his hand and said indifferently.

Shopkeeper Wang wiped his tears and grumbled, “Previously, you sent Brother Yang to remind me not to contact you, so I could only stay here and worry.”

He sighed again. “Eldest Young Master, you’ve suffered so much.”

Could it really be called suffering? Song Jingchen thought of the figure who was busy working for his family and shook his head. “I’m doing well. Have you seen Rooster and the others?”

“Yes.” Shopkeeper Wang looked uncomfortable when he mentioned those people.

As soon as they arrived, they said that Song Jingchen had asked them to come.

His first reaction was naturally to treat them as people with ill intentions. He almost got someone to tie them up.

He could have verified their identities in secret. However, those people said that their master had given them their names. He couldn’t believe it.

Fortunately, Rooster had an idea. He took out the note Song Jingchen had written when he arranged a mission for them. Seeing the familiar handwriting, Shopkeeper Wang believed them.
