I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating

Not only did he agree to Shen Yao’s suggestion, he even said that he would help publicize this matter.

When Shen Menghu left the Shen residence, a smile appeared on his stern face!

In the central room, Ji Zhao looked at Zhao Lanhua with a smile and grinned foolishly.

!!

“Ah Tao, what are you smilling at?” Zhao Lanhua asked curiously. “Is there dust Mother’s face?”

“No.” Ji Zhao shook her head firmly and then held her arm intimately. Her tone unconsciously choked up a little. “I think there’s a lot of love on your face. Mother, you’re the best, best, best mother-in-law in this world.”

“Of course!” Zhao Lanhua followed her words and smiled smugly. “Everyone in this village knows that I, Zhao Lanhua, am the best.”

“Yes, Mother is the best.” Ji Zhao leaned on her shoulder, her tone extremely obedient.

“Actually, I’ve only changed my personality in the past few years.” Zhao Lanhua patted her hand gently and comforted her softly. “Ah Tao, you don’t have to care too much about what others think of you. Most importantly, our family will trust and encourage each other. As for what outsiders think, sometimes it’s not that important. As long as you think that you did the right thing, that’s fine.”

“Mother, thank you.”

In fact, when so many onlookers stood on the moral high ground and attacked her without knowing the truth, Ji Zhao felt a little sad.

From the beginning, Madam Xie was the perpetrator, and she was just a victim.

When Ji Zhao was glad that she was not the original host, she would feel heartache for the original host.

She thought that if the Host knew the consequences of being adopted by Old Master Ji, she would rather die.

After all, for the past 15 years, the original host had been living in deep trouble.

After Shen Menghu’s vigorous promotion, everyone knew about the reconstruction of the Earth Temple at the back of the mountain.

The crowdfunding plan proposed by Shen Yao was successfully implemented.

It was such a proud thing to be able to carve one’s name on the Merit Monument in front of the temple. Not only Shanghe Village, but even the people from other villages rushed over when they heard the news.

Shen Yao did not reject anyone. Instead, he raised the threshold. For example, the people from other villages had to pay at least five taels of silver to have the chance to engrave their names on the merit monument. As for whether they could succeed in the end, they had to draw lots!

Ji Zhao, who was munching on an apple, looked at Shen Yao, who was focused on fiddling with the abacus. She could not help but raise her eyebrows.

He sat upright in front of the desk, his expression very focused.

The afternoon sun penetrated the screened windows and shone on him. It seemed to coat him with a layer of golden light, making him look like an immortal.

“We’ve already raised 182 taels of silver. Coupled with the 300 taels of silver you brought back earlier, we’ve already raised enough money to rebuild the Earth Temple.” After settling the total score, Shen Yao slowly looked up and met her infatuated gaze.

“Shen Yao, what did you just say? Can you repeat it?” Ji Zhao silently raised her hand to cover her face and muttered softly.

“Ah Tao.” Shen Yao smiled and gently pushed her hand away. He asked gently, “What were you looking at just now?”

“Looking at you!” Ji Zhao blurted out subconsciously. “Who else can I look at but you?”

Shen Yao smiled happily and suddenly got up and leaned close to her cheek. His low and hoarse tone was filled with ambiguity.

“I, I, I… I’ll get back to work first!”

The moment he teased her, Ji Zhao felt that her heart was about to jump out.

Looking at her retreating back, the smile in Shen Yao’s eyes deepened.

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

As dusk approached, Zhao Lanhua shouted and everyone came to the central room. The family sat together happily to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Zhao Lanhua and Ji Zhao prepared a table full of delicacies.

In addition, Ji Zhao specially made Race Crabs and placed it in front of the two sisters-in-law.

“Race Crabs? That’s an interesting name, isn’t it?” Sister-in-law Shen looked at the race crabs and asked curiously, “But Ah Tao, this dish really does look like a big crab from the outside!”

“I know that Second Sister-in-law really wants to eat crabs, so I specially designed it like this. I hope you like it,” Ji Zhao explained with a warm smile. Then, she strongly recommended, “Second Sister-in-law, try it?”

Second Sister-in-law Shen was especially curious about this dish that looked like a crab. She eagerly picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of crab meat, and tasted it seriously.

“The texture of this dish is smooth and tender, and there’s a faint crab roe fragrance.” Second Sister-in-law Shen was stunned. “Ah Tao, did you add some crab roe to this dish?”

“There’s no crab roe.” Ji Zhao smiled and explained softly, “Race crabs is a specialty dish. The main ingredient needed is yellow croaker fish.”

“This dish is actually made from fish meat?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen was also shocked.

“Yes.” Ji Zhao nodded with a gentle smile. “If you like it, you can eat more. Eating more fish is beneficial to you.”

“Ah Tao, I really admire you now.” Second Sister-in-law Shen gave Ji Zhao a thumbs up from the bottom of her heart. “You’re really amazing to be able to make fish taste like crab meat, you know?”

“Actually, this dish is not difficult to make.” Ji Zhao put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and explained softly, “The meat of the Yellow Croaker Fish is relatively fresh and tender. Coupled with eggs, it can make a taste similar to crab meat. Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, if you think this dish is to your liking, I can make it often in the future.”

“That won’t do!”

Eldest Sister-in-law Shen and Second Sister-in-law Shen said in unison.

“Why?” Ji Zhao raised her eyebrows in confusion.

“Because it’s expensive!”

“Isn’t that so? A Yellow Croaker Fish is enough to buy two to three catties of pig bones,” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen said quickly. “If we eat this every day, which family can afford it?”

“Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, when I earn a lot of money in the future, I’ll buy Yellow Croaker Fish for you to eat every day. I guarantee that you’ll eat until you’re full!”

“Alright, we’ll wait for you!”

“Hahaha!”

The entire family raised their glasses and drank happily. Of course, Ji Zhao was the exception. The cup in front of her was filled with warm brown sugar water.

A hint of sweetness appeared on the tip of her tongue and spread to her left chest.
