Chapter 227 - Jiajia Is Confused

After being blocked several times, Shen Yijia was furious. Just because she pitied this woman didn’t mean that she wouldn’t hit her.

She clenched his fists and was about to make her move when a group of people ran over and grabbed the woman.

“What’s wrong with this crazy woman today? She used to be silent and wouldn’t say a word for a long time.” The leader spat on the ground.

“Who knew? She was fine at first, but she seemed to have gone crazy after seeing someone…” As soon as the person replied, everyone looked at Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia was speechless. She was just walking by.

Da Hua’s rules: When you go out, keep a low profile and don’t cause trouble.

Moreover, she still had to look for Song Jingchen, so she couldn’t act rashly. Therefore, Shen Yijia only rolled her eyes and prepared to leave with her horse.

“Stop right there.”

Shen Yijia did not want to care, but the people opposite her did not think so. As soon as the leader spoke, the others immediately surrounded her.

“I don’t know her,” Shen Yijia explained patiently.

The leader snorted. “Kid, do you think you don’t know her just because you say so? Who would believe you? If you really don’t know her, why did this crazy woman react when she saw you?”

Shen Yijia was silent.?“Maybe I’m too good-looking. Who can blame me?”?she thought.

She glanced at the woman who had been restrained and realized that the woman’s gaze had never left her face.

“Is there something on my face?”?she thought.

“Oh right, there’s a flower bud on my forehead. But I’ve already covered it up with charcoal. Does this woman have x-ray vision?”?she thought.

These thoughts flashed across her mind. Shen Yijia shook her head solemnly. “How would I know? And are you sure that she’s actually having a reaction?”

The woman’s expression had clearly not changed since she saw Shen Yijia.

That group of people really looked at the woman’s face. It seemed that other than her gaze, there was no other reaction.

Could there be a mistake?

Just as she thought this, the woman suddenly spoke. Her voice was hoarse and slow as she said, “Young Miss.”

It was just two simple words, spoken with great difficulty.

The voice was very soft and stiff. It was probably because she had not spoken for too long, but it was enough for everyone present to hear.

Shen Yijia’s eyebrows twitched. She swore that she really didn’t know this person. The original host didn’t remember this person either. Most importantly, she was dressed as a man now!

Without waiting for the leader to speak, Shen Yijia forced a stiff smile. “She might have gotten the wrong person. What young miss? I’m clearly an eight-foot-tall man.”

Noticing that their gazes swept from her head to her feet, Shen Yijia was speechless. “So what if I’m a little short? Can’t I be a man if I’m short?”

From the looks of it, these people were trying to capture someone this woman knew. She wouldn’t hold back if that was the case.

It seemed to make sense. The group nodded in unison. One of them leaned over to the leader and asked softly, “Boss, what should we do?”

The leader glared at him. “If you ask me, who should I ask?”

However, he did not make things difficult for Shen Yijia. He waved his hand and asked his subordinates to make way for her to leave.

Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief. When she brushed past the woman, she subconsciously turned to look at her. When she met the woman’s gaze, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

However, when she thought of her beautiful husband, she gritted her teeth and did not turn around. She thought to herself,?“I don’t know her, I don’t know her, and my husband isn’t here. If something happens to me, no one can save her.”

Although she still felt that she was very powerful, she knew that some underhanded methods could not be avoided with her strength.

Shen Yijia convinced herself not to be nosy, but she did not expect that woman to be so persistent.

She’d taken about ten steps when a wail came from behind her.

Shen Yijia turned around curiously.

Good lord, everyone who was arrogant just now was knocked to the ground, but the woman was still standing there.

The woman’s gaze was still fixated on her.

Shen Yijia saw her lips move twice, very slowly, so Shen Yijia could tell that it was still the same word. “Young Miss.”

She frowned and finally figured it out. This woman must have recognized the wrong person. Either that, or Shen Yijia looked similar to her young miss. Otherwise, why would she call a man young miss?

She felt that her disguise was quite successful. After all, there was not much flesh on her chest to begin with, and she had even wrapped it in a cloth.

She was more curious about why this woman allowed those people to bully her when her martial arts were clearly not weak. Those people were not her match at all.

Shen Yijia thought for a moment. Since this person called her Young Miss, she had mistaken Shen Yijia for her master.

Didn’t everyone here listen to their masters?

She waved him away. “You should get out of here.”

With that, she turned to leave.

“Wait a minute.”

This time, it was the leader who stopped her.

Shen Yijia paused. Before she could decide if she should turn around or run, she heard the person behind her continue, “Give us a hundred… No, give us thirty taels of silver. You can take her away after that.”

Shen Yijia was confused.

“Weren’t you guys trying to catch someone? Thirty taels of silver is enough? Then why were you making such a big fuss earlier?”?she thought.

She was shocked.

“If you don’t give it to us, we’ll have no choice but to capture you too. This crazy woman has set her sights on you. You can only blame yourself for being unlucky.” The person was still nagging.

Shen Yijia could not help but ask curiously, “What’s the relationship between you and this woman?”

From the looks of it, these people were not evil people. If they did not have a deep hatred for this woman, why would they be so cruel to her?

“Pfft.” The leader got up. He seemed to be very annoyed that Shen Yijia associated him with the woman. He rubbed his aching waist and said, “Does it matter? Who knows why this crazy woman came? She refused to leave no matter what…”

It turned out that this group of people were all subordinates of the pot lady. One day, this strange woman suddenly took the initiative to look for them. At that time, she was much cleaner than she was now. She looked proper, but her face was expressionless and she did not speak.

The pot lady naturally had an idea when she saw such a good ‘product’. She wanted to get someone to arrest her and lock her up, but this person walked into the room where the prisoners were detained without them needing to do anything.

Everyone thought that she was a fool. Although her value had been greatly reduced, they wouldn’t mind if there were some special things about her.

Unexpectedly, this person could not be sold at all. To be precise, unless she took the initiative to walk out, no one could take her away. No matter what they did, it was useless. Even if they sent her away with medicine, she would return to the potter’s place in a few days. She simply squatted at the door in a daze.
