I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating

“Deliberately? Why do you say that?”

Shen Yao chuckled. “I’ve met Official Ji a few times before. His words and actions are extremely elegant. He doesn’t seem like someone who has been immersed in the bureaucracy for many years. If I’m not wrong, this Official Ji of Dingyuan County is probably from an extraordinary background. There’s probably another reason why he came to Dingyuan County to be a county magistrate.”

“Moreover, after Official Ji came to Dingyuan County, he did two major things. Firstly, he reduced taxes. Whether it was the merchants who ran shops in the county or the commoners, they were extremely grateful. Secondly, he eliminated brothels. His actions must have touched some unspeakable benefits of power.”

“In that case, the master behind Wind and Moon Restaurant wants to declare war on Official Ji?” Ji Zhao understood Shen Yao’s words and asked curiously.

“Other than Official Ji, there’s also Young Master Qin.” Shen Yao’s slender fingertips landed on the table, making an extremely rhythmic sound. “If the Wind and Moon Restaurant insists on opening opposite Hongxing Restaurant, then it will definitely affect the restaurant’s business.”

Hongxing Restaurant only had good food and wine, but Wind and Moon Restaurant also had beauties.

“That’s right.” Second Manager You nodded slowly. “I’ve also realized this, so I’ve already sent a letter to Young Master. I hope Young Master can find a solution. ”

“Yes.” Shen Yao looked at him and comforted him. “Second Brother You, you don’t have to worry too much. After all, we’ll cross the bridge when we get there.”

“I understand.” Second Manager You immediately smiled. “Let’s not talk about these dampening things. On the other hand, Ah Tao, when do you plan to let Spring Breeze Pavilion open for business again? During the time you closed, many customers came to inquire about it!”

After all, the earth jar soup and clay pot rice that Ah Tao had introduced were too delicious.

Ji Zhao who was in a daze suddenly snapped her fingers!

Shen Yao and Second Manager You looked at her at the same time. “What’s wrong?”

“Shen Yao, I suddenly have an idea.” Ji Zhao suddenly smiled and said, “But you have to accompany me to the county office. I want to see Official Ji!”

“Now?” Shen Yao was a little puzzled.

“That’s right, now! We have to end this quickly!” Ji Zhao said with a determined gaze. Then, he grabbed Shen Yao’s arm. Just as she was about to run out, she did not forget to turn around and look at Second Shopkeeper You. “Second Brother You, don’t worry. The Wind and Moon Restaurant won’t successfully open opposite Hongxing Restaurant! ”

“Ah Tao, why are you so sure?”

Second Manager You hurriedly asked, but Ji Zhao’s back had already disappeared.

Dingyuan County Office.

Ji Ting’an was dealing with official business. When he heard that Shen Yao and his wife wanted to see him, he was a little surprised.

Previously, when Shen Yao saved his maternal grandfather, he was very grateful. That was why he insisted on bringing Shen Yao to the prefecture capital to collect the ten taels of silver. However, the more he talked to Shen Yao, the more Ji Ting’an felt that this person’s speech was extraordinary.

He had also read Shen Yao’s case file. He had been smart since he was young. At three years old, he could speak. At five years old, he could write poems. At seven years old, he could compose poems. More importantly, his poem theory was unique and refreshing.

However, such an outstanding person had fallen off the rankings four years ago.

The Imperial Court spent a lot of money every year on the selection of talents, but there were endless corrupt officials every year. There was no way to investigate them all.

“Invite him to the side hall.” Ji Ting’an rubbed his sore brows and retracted his chaotic thoughts. He said softly, “Get someone to prepare tea and pastries.” ‘Yes.” The servant obediently retreated.

Fifteen minutes later, Ji Zhao and Shen Yao were brought to the side hall in the backyard of the county office.

Looking at the plaque hanging above the high hall, Ji Zhao fell into deep thought.

“The Mirror of Eminence.” Shen Yao squeezed her palm and asked with a chuckle, “Ah Tao, why are you staring at that plaque?”

“I’m just thinking, if all the officials were good officials with clean sleeves, wouldn’t the commoners be able to live and work in peace? What would it be like to live in peace?” Ji Zhao looked back at Shen Yao and smiled.

“Well said!”

Ji Ting’an, who happened to walk in, happened to hear these words. He could not help but clap and praise, “The sea and the river are clear, and the world is peaceful! That must be a beautiful painting!”

“Greetings, Official Ji.” Shen Yao calmly protected Ji Zhao behind him and bowed respectfully.

Ji Ting’an could not help but laugh out loud. “Shen Yao, Shen Yao, you don’t have to be so guarded! I’m not a person who loses his mind because of lust. Moreover, I just think that the words your wife said are very good. I don’t have any other intentions. ‘

“I hope you can forgive me.” Shen Yao was not as nervous as before when he saw how honest he was.

Ji Ting’an smiled and asked curiously, “But why did you come to see me?”

“The thing is, my wife and I have decided to get married on the 16th of next month.”

“Aren’t you already husband and wife?’ Ji Ting’an was extremely puzzled.

‘What exactly is going on?’

Fifteen minutes later, Ji Ting’an finally understood the entire situation.

“I didn’t expect your relationship to be so complicated.” Ji Ting’an couldn’t help but tease.

“That’s right. That’s why I brought my wife here today. I have two goals. Firstly, I want to invite you to my house for a wedding banquet on the 16th of next month. Secondly, it’s about the household registration.”

“No problem!” Ji Ting’an smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry!’

“By the way, my wife still has something to report to you.” Only then did Shen Yao let go of Ji Zhao’s hand and smile at her, his eyes filled with encouragement.

“Official Ji, may I ask you a question?” Ji Zhao slowly looked up and met Ji Ting’an’s sized up gaze. “1 heard that Wind and Moon Restaurant is going to open in Dingyuan County. What do you think about this?”

Ji Ting’an was stunned.

“Ever since I came to Dingyuan County, I’ve learned about the people here.

Compared to taverns and inns, there are too many brothels in Dingyuan County. Therefore, the first thing I did when I took office was to investigate three brothels. ‘

“Not only are these brothels dirty, but there are also some forces behind them.

I came here this time to investigate these thoroughly! As for the Wind and

Moon Restaurant you mentioned just now, I can’t let this plaque appear in Dingyuan County! ”

“But the power behind Wind and Moon Restaurant is the Sun Family!” Ji Zhao said frankly. “There’s a saying on the streets. As long as your surname is Sun, you can do whatever you want! After all, the Sun Family has a lot of sacred favors! ”

Imperial Concubine Sun was loved by the Emperor, and Elder Sun was even more powerful and had many disciples!

The mastermind behind the Wind and Moon Restaurant was the Sun family!

“But I’ve also heard of a saying.” Ji Ting’an lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in them. “It’s lonely at the top..”
