I became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

Chapter 5: Picking Up a Chicken

Following the direction Madam Feng pointed, Ji Zhao carried the basket on her back and walked forward. She climbed two long and narrow steep slopes in a row. She really could not walk anymore.

The sun set in the west, and the orange-red sunset dyed half the sky red.

A group of geese flew across the low sky in an orderly manner.

In the evening breeze, Ji Zhao, who was resting against a tree trunk, could not help but sneeze!

With a plop, a fist-sized apple hit Ji Zhao’s head, making her cry out in pain!

In the end, she picked up the apple and casually wiped it on her clothes. Then, she took a vicious bite out of revenge.

Tsk! So sour!

Ji Zhao forced herself to eat half a sour apple. After recovering her strength, she continued walking forward.

However, at this moment, her stomach was rumbling with hunger, and her footsteps were a little unsteady.

“Heavens, you can’t be so heartless. Are you really going to let me starve to death here?” Ji Zhao looked at the cloudless blue sky aggrievedly, feeling very depressed.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a rustling sound.

She took a closer look and almost laughed out loud!

It was actually a wild chicken with an injured leg!

Ji Zhao deftly caught the wild chicken, then casually picked two reeds and tied the wild chicken’s feet tightly. She threw them into the basket on her back and continued walking.

When the sky turned dark, she finally found a large patch of pigweed!

Ji Zhao immediately rolled up her sleeves and focused on picking the pigweed.

At around 7pm, the Shen family had already finished their dinner.

“No way!” After hearing Zhao Lanhua’s words, Shen Dajiang said with a fierce expression, “It’s not like our Shen family can’t afford to marry a wife. That Ji Ah Tao is restless! As the saying goes, marrying a bad wife brings disaster to three generations!”

“That’s right. On the second day of the wedding, she took away her in-laws’ money and agreed to elope with someone…” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen muttered softly. “If we really agree to let her stay, our family will definitely be criticized behind our backs when we go out in the future!”

“That’s right, Mother!” Second Sister-in-law Shen said aggrievedly, “That Ji Ah Tao isn’t easy to get along with. If Eldest Sister-in-law hadn’t caught me in time yesterday, I would definitely have fallen!”

“As the saying goes, a dog can’t change its ways!” Shen Dashan said angrily, “If she dares to steal once, she dares to steal again!”

In the hall, the Shen family was discussing Ji Zhao’s future in full swing. As the person involved, Ji Zhao was completely unaware.

Because she was lost.

After getting a basket full of pigwwed and picking up a wild chicken, Ji Zhao was satisfied and wanted to go down the mountain.

However, the moonlight was hazy and the mountain path was steep. She circled for a long time but still could not go down the mountain.

However, Ji Zhao was not someone who would give up easily. She simply sat on the ground and looked seriously at the crescent moon hanging on the treetop.

It happened to be the fifteenth of June yesterday. It tajes twelve hours for the moon to turn from east to west. Coupled with the current moon phase and location, the moon was located to the south!

After finding the right direction, Ji Zhao carried the basket on her back without hesitation and quickly descended the mountain.

Finally, an hour later, she returned to the Shen residence.

However, the courtyard door was tightly shut at this moment. She raised her arm hesitantly.

Counting the time, it was already 11pm. Everyone was probably already resting. If she knocked on the door, would she disturb others? The Shen family already had a bad impression of her-

But if she didn’t knock on the door, would they think that she had run away again?

The conflicted Ji Zhao helplessly sat on the steps in front of the door.

Achoo!

It was windy again. She couldn’t help but sneeze!

A dull noise sounded behind her. She subconsciously looked back and met a pair of familiar cold eyes without any warmth.

“I… I didn’t mean to sneeze. I’m just too cold…”

Shen Yao’s gaze inadvertently landed on the basket behind her and he turned around without saying a word.

When the door opened a crack, Ji Zhao hurriedly walked in.
