I became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

Chapter 14: I’m Too Stupid!

Eldest Sister-in-law Shen’s pupils dilated bit by bit, and her eyes flickered with disbelief.

“You…”

“Eldest Sister-in-law, there’s no harm in trying. You can try.”

Eldest Sister-in-law Shen was silent for a long time. In the end, she looked at her with a complicated expression and carried the prepared wild chickens into the kitchen.

Ji Zhao exhaled weakly. As soon as she turned around, she met Shen Yao’s dark and calm eyes.

Ji Zhao, who was shocked, subconsciously grabbed Shen Yao’s sleeve when she staggered back.

Shen Yao, who could not react in time, was thrown to the ground by her. His lips accidentally brushed past her cheek.

Ji Zhao’s mind went blank.

“You guys? What are you doing?” Zhao Lanhua, who had just walked out of the house, happened to see this scene.

Ji Zhao pushed Shen Yao’s chest in a panic. She rolled over and hurriedly stood up.

“Mother, this is a misunderstanding! I, I, I…”

“It’s fine if you can’t stand steadily, but why do you have to implicate me?” Shen Yao suddenly asked.

Ji Zhao felt wronged!

It was clearly because Shen Yao suddenly appeared behind her that she accidentally fell!

Moreover, Shen Yao seemed to have kissed her face just now!

No matter what, she was at a disadvantage!

But Shen Yao actually took the initiative to question her?

“I… I didn’t do it on purpose.” Ji Zhao lowered her head and said weakly, “I was too stupid. I lost my balance. I’m sorry!”

However, when she looked up, Shen Yao had already disappeared.

Zhao Lanhua retracted her gaze and smiled faintly. “Everything is packed. Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

The Shen family’s courtyard was not far from the entrance of Shanghe Village. It was only about 1 kilometer away.

The village entrance is marked by two hundred-year-old pagoda trees that hug each other.

It was early summer, so the pagoda trees were very dense. They were green and pleasing to the eye.

Under the pagoda trees, there were several women in rough clothes of various colors holding baskets and fiddling with needles and threads. From time to time, they would converse with one another.

“Aunt Chunhua, have you heard? The third daughter-in-law of the Shen family made a fool of herself yesterday!”

“What? What flowers?” The old woman sitting in the middle of the crowd had her silver hair combed meticulously. There was a pair of shrewd eyes on her weathered face, but her ears were not good and she could not hear what the woman beside her said.

“Tsk! You know your great-grandson, Shen Yao, right? He’s married!”

“Oh, you mean Little Three?”

“Exactly!”

“It’s good to get married. My Little Three has grown up and is getting married!” The old lady said happily.

“But his wife isn’t a good person! She stole money and is preparing to elope!”

“In my opinion, Sister Lanhua’s temper is too good. If it were anyone else, they might have sent that restless wife to the pond long ago!”

“Isn’t it because she has high standards? She thinks that she’s born seductive, so the wives she chooses are each more seductive than the other. It’s obvious that she’s restless!”

When Ji Zhao followed Zhao Lanhua to the village entrance, she happened to hear those gossipy women gossiping about the Shen family.

The depressed Ji Zhao was about to step forward to refute when Zhao Lanhua shook her head at her.

“Stand here for a while.” Zhao Lanhua glanced at Eldest Sister-in-law Shen. “Come with me.”

Zhao Lanhua walked to the middle of the crowd. She first took out two pieces of candy from her pocket and handed them to the old lady with bad ears. “Fifth Grandmother, you just ate my Sanlang’s wedding candy the other day. Have you forgotten?”
