Chapter 1009: Chapter 230: Good Cabbages Get Picked on_2

"Bring it here!" Shen Songming sat up angrily and commanded.

Seeing that he was willing to eat, Shuang Xi hurried over to help him with his washing up and then set the meal.

Shen Songming washed his hands, sat down at the table, and picked up his chopsticks to eat. It was just drunken foolishness, it was just being caught off-guard—but so what. To refuse to eat was to be as melodramatic as a woman contemplating death. Hadn’t that ungrateful wretch said that of all things under heaven, eating was the most important?

Seeing that he had finally started to eat, and was having an appreciable amount, Shuang Xi secretly wiped away her tears. The young master was suffering!

No sooner had he finished eating than Dan Mingzhu came looking for him again.

"I won’t see her!" Shen Songming said angrily, his face dark.

Nonetheless, Dan Mingzhu was not just a sheltered lady, but the daughter of the Leader of the Transport Gang. She wasn’t just all talk. She barged in, calling for Shen Songming and scattering gold beads, "Shen Songming! Come out and explain yourself to me! I don’t believe what you said before!"

As soon as Ji Bingchu heard that Dan Mingzhu had arrived, his eyes lit up. Here was his chance! He quickly approached Shen Songming, blocking Dan Mingzhu, "Does Ms. Dan really need to see the facts again to believe they are true?"

"I don’t believe it!" Dan Mingzhu declared, her eyes red and swollen from crying, "Sister Peiqin said it was fake too! She doesn’t believe it either! Shen Songming likes Pei Qin, and now that she’s married to Mo Heng, there’s no chance for them! You two are just deceiving me, hoping that I will give up. You see that Mrs. Shen likes me, so you play this trick to make me back down!"

Shen Songming slammed the door open, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Dan Mingzhu immediately approached him, crying, "Shen Songming, are you deceiving people because you don’t want to marry me?"

"Who told you it was a deception! Do I need to take off my clothes for you to see the truth?" Shen Songming sneered coldly.

Dan Mingzhu’s face stiffened, "I don’t believe it!"

Shen Songming’s face was chilling as he reached out to undo the buttons on his robe.

Seeing that he was truly undressing to show her the truth, Dan Mingzhu, even though she had been brought up among the Transport Gang, was also raised under the feudal code of ethics, furiously cursed, "Beast! Both of you are beasts! Just be together!" and turned and ran away in tears.

Shen Songming had already opened the collar of his shirt, revealing multiple marks on his neck.

"That... You...," Ji Bingchu leaned in, "Does it still hurt? Shall I get you some more medicine?" He glanced at his handiwork, feeling a little giddy.

Shen Songming saw the look in his eyes and immediately buttoned up his clothes, "Get lost!"

Ji Bingchu stood there, watching him retreat to the room with a dark demeanor. He sighed and stayed outside, basking in the sun, guarding the door. He needed to think about how to handle the potential consequences if this got out. He was bold enough to risk the world’s censure, but it was certain that Shen Songming wouldn’t want to share that burden with him. How could he make Shen Songming willing to accept him and stand by his side? Worries abound!

Pei Qin was also troubled. Dan Mingzhu had actually come back to find her, and this time she brought Dan Yefei with her, bluntly suggesting that Dan Mingzhu should stay with her for a few days to adjust her mood, as he was headed northwest for business and couldn’t take her with him.

She would prefer not to let Dan Mingzhu stay; she actually quite liked the girl, who was straightforward, efficient, and dearly cute. But with Shen Songming’s situation still unresolved, wouldn’t keeping her here just add to the chaos?

Dan Mingzhu’s tears fell like raindrops, "Sister Qin! I can’t believe that Ji Bingchu, with his decent appearance, could be such a person. Shen Songming has been with him for too long, and now he’s... He’s just like him! And here he is, saying he loves you, that his heart won’t change—nothing but liars!"

Pei Qin nodded in agreement, "Ji Bingchu is indeed a beast in human clothing!" And Shen Songming had allowed him to go that far.

The two women found common ground in vilifying Ji Bingchu eight hundred times over.

The cursed Ji Bingchu? He sneezed several times and couldn’t help but feel a surge of happiness. It must be Song Ming scolding him in his heart! Wasn’t it said that love is always mixed with a little hate to become deeply ingrained? Now he and Song Ming had loved and hated; all that was left was for it to become deeply ingrained.

Shen Songming stayed inside the room for a whole day, then acted as if nothing had happened and went about his business as usual. Business was tough after the war, and with bandit problems, he had much to take care of.

Ji Bingchu followed him, trying not to disturb him.

Shen Songming ignored him completely and didn’t seek out Pei Qin either, intercepting Jiujiu and Xixi on the road and taking them back with him.

Xixi, having not been with him for several months, had almost forgotten him and now followed Jiujiu in calling him "godfather" instead of "father."

Shen Songming held her, looked at Jiujiu, and thought to himself with ill-intent. He would take the two Little Radishes away, just to see if that heartless Pei Qin would come looking for him!
