Chapter 221: Jiajia Leaves
Madam Li asked her to sit down and carefully wiped her face with a handkerchief. She sat down beside her and said, "I know."
"Then why didn’t you tell me? I could have gone with him." Shen Yijia’s voice was choked with tears. Apart from being sad, she was also a little angry. Madam Li knew, but she didn’t tell her.
Shen Yijia could not hide anything. Madam Li could tell what she was thinking. "Silly child, Brother Chen didn’t tell you because he was afraid that you would follow him. He told me because he wanted me to comfort you."
"But I’m very powerful. I can help him." Song Jingchen had thought of everything for her. She couldn’t even get angry. Shen Yijia was even more upset, and tears fell.
This was the first time she had seen Shen Yijia cry. Madam Li’s heart ached as she pulled her into her arms and patted her back to comfort her. "I know, I know that our Sister Jia is the most powerful. It’s just that he has something important to do on this trip. In addition, there are countless eyes watching him, and the mission is filled with danger. It’s precisely because it’s dangerous that he can’t let you take that risk."
Shen Yijia said gloomily, "I’m not afraid."
Hearing her childish words, Madam Li chuckled and looked at the dark night outside. "Before I got married, my father and my brothers often went to the battlefield.
Sometimes, they would even be called away in a hurry during the New Year’s Eve dinner.
After they left, my mother insisted that I eat with my sisters-in-law before leaving. At that time, I asked my mother, "Aren’t you worried about Father and my brothers?" My mother told me, "I’m a general’s wife, I have to do my duty."
Madam Li paused for a moment and used her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes before continuing, "Sister Jia, I’m telling you this so that you understand. As long as we don’t take revenge, there won’t be any peace around Brother Chen. You have to be mentally prepared. All we can do is wait for him to return home."
