I became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating-Chapter 31
Chapter 31: They’re… a Little Busy Now!
“As everyone knows, I’m not of the Ji family’s bloodline,” Ji Zhao explained softly. “Zhao Xian is my neighbor and he passed the Elementary Scholar examination. That’s why I asked him to help me find my biological parents. All these years, Zhao Xian used this as an excuse to take a lot of money from me… I don’t know why there’s such ridiculous news that I’ve been in love with Zhao Xian for many years.”
Ji Zhao’s eyes were red, and she looked very aggrieved and pitiful.
In fact, the original owner of the body had indeed admired Zhao Xian, but that was because Zhao Xian had deliberately created the illusion that he would definitely soar in the future in front of the original owner to coax her.
After all, the Host was a selfish and vain person.
“So you never liked Zhao Xian at all? He used the fact that he could help you find your biological parents as bait to trick you into giving him money?” Second Sister-in-law Shen never expected the truth to be like this. She could not help but ask, “Are you a fool?”
“I…” Ji Zhao lowered his head sadly and choked on her words.
“Second wife, feed the chickens!” Zhao Lanhua ordered with a frown.
“…Oh.” Second Sister-in-law Shen’s gossip was extinguished. She responded gloomily, then picked up the dustpan basket leaning against the corner of the wall and went to the chicken coop.
“Why aren’t you going back to your room to lie down?” Zhao Lanhua glanced at Ji Zhao, who was stunned under the roof, and said in a low voice.
“… Okay.”
Ji Zhao quietly returned to her room and covered herself with a thin blanket. Her thoughts ran wild for a while before she finally fell asleep again.
Because it rained last night, the old and young men in the village went to the fields to work today.
Shen Dashan waved his hoe vigorously and said happily, “I thought the drought would continue! I didn’t expect the heavens to still favor poor people like us. The rain last night was really good!”
“Isn’t that so? When my two brats heard the rain, they wanted to rush out and drench themselves! In the end, they were beaten up by their mother and finally stopped,” Shen Dayong replied with a smile.
“Sanlang, there’s not much work left in the field. You can go back first!” Shen Dashan turned around and instructed his absent-minded son.
Shen Yao wanted to refuse, but he suddenly thought of something else. He nodded and left.
It was not until dusk that Shen Yao returned to the Shen family’s courtyard.
At that moment, Ji Zhao, who had slept for an entire day, felt sore all over. She thought for a moment and lay on the bed, preparing to practice yoga.
When Shen Yao pushed the door open and entered, Ji Zhao was practicing the Pinnacle Style.
The moment their eyes met, the atmosphere became awkward.
“You…” Shen Yao frowned in confusion. “What are you doing?”
“No… nothing…” Ji Zhao hurriedly explained. Just as she was about to stop, she felt her ankle ache. She was like a deflated ball and almost rolled off the kang bed-
Before he could think, Shen Yao rushed forward and held her.
In the end, Shen Yao lay on the ground while Ji Zhao lay in his arms.
“Third Brother, what do you think of the design of my table and chairs?” The moment Shen Zhang walked into the room, he was completely dumbfounded. “Ahem, Third Brother, why did you forget to close the door? Remember to close the door next time. Second Brother will come and find you later.”
Without waiting for Shen Yao to explain, Shen Zhang left. He even closed the door considerately.
“Mother, don’t go in and disturb Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law!”
“What’s wrong?”
“They’re… a little busy now!”
