I became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

Chapter 53

53 Please Accept My Knees!

After watching Shen Yao finish the entire Five Animal Play, Ji Zhao finally understood what it meant to be elegant.

“Shen Yao,” Ji Zhao suddenly faced him and said with a serious expression, “please accept my knees!”

This man was really amazing. He could perform the Five Animal Play so well after only watching it once.

“Did you hurt your knee?” Shen Yao asked with concern. He subconsciously squatted in front of her, wanting to check her knee.

Ji Zhao, who did not know whether to laugh or cry, hurriedly explained, “Actually, the meaning of this sentence is that I admire you very much!”

“I see.” Shen Yao smiled in realization.

Shen Yao was good-looking to begin with. His facial features were well-defined and his phoenix eyes were deep.

However, when he smiled, Ji Zhao finally understood what the phrase peerless young master meant.

When he smiled, his face could topple cities.

Unknowingly, Ji Zhao was infatuated.

It was only when Zhao Lanhua’s voice suddenly sounded that Ji Zhao’s thoughts were pulled out of her fantasy.

“Ah Tao, look at my hands. Is that right?” Zhao Lanhua asked happily as she performed the Five Animal Play.

“Mother, you did very well!” Ji Zhao praised generously. “But if you could raise your right hand a little higher, that would be even better?”

“Is that so?”

“Yes!”

Shen Yao, who had retreated to the side, looked at such a warm scene. His good-looking thin lips pursed slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

An hour later, Zhao Lanhua, who had finished practicing the Five Animal Play, felt refreshed and energetic.

After breakfast, Ji Zhao followed Zhao Lanhua to the county city.

Shen Ji pastry shop.

Eldest Sister-in-law Shen had already tidied up the kitchen in the backyard.

“Sis, is Third Sister-in-law Shen that powerful?” Feng Chunyan looked at her sister’s busy back and was a little angry with Ji Zhao. “Previously, Aunt Lanhua’s favorite daughter-in-law was you, but now…”

“You’re just a child. Don’t talk nonsense!” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen pinched her sister’s face angrily and said with a gentle smile, “Actually, Ah Tao isn’t bad. I didn’t know her well before, so I said those things about her to you…”

“I think Ji Ah Tao is too scheming. How long has it been? She actually made everyone in the Shen family look at her in a new light.” Feng Chunyan pursed her lips and said, “She was hot-headed and wanted to come to the county city to set up a stall, but in the end, she made you work so hard… Aunt Lanhua is the same. Now, she’s been coaxed by her until she doesn’t know where to go, right? Sister, don’t think that my words are unpleasant. It’s not impossible for Ji Ah Tao to do business, but what right does she have to borrow the venue of the pastry shop?”

“Sis, don’t forget that this pastry shop is the property that you and brother-in-law have been running for many years. If not for the fact that our Feng family produced more than 30 secret pastry recipes, how could the business of this shop be much better?” The more Feng Chunyan thought about it, the more she felt that it was not worth it for her sister.

“Chunyan, aren’t you thinking too much?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen smiled helplessly. “Mother said a long time ago that the pastry shop belongs to me and Dalang. As long as we give them some retirement money every month, it’ll be fine.”

“It’s true that it’s like this now, but it’s hard to guarantee that it won’t happen in the future!” Feng Chunyan said earnestly, “Sister, don’t despise my words. This old saying is good. Father and Mother dote on their youngest the most. Moreover, Third Brother Shen is an unsound person. It’s hard to guarantee that Ji Ah Tao won’t have designs on our pastry shop.”

After Feng Chunyan’s analysis, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen’s mood fell to rock bottom.

At the end of the day, Zhao Lanhua brought Ji Zhao to the pastry shop.

“Mother? Third Sister-in-law.” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly went out to welcome them, but the smile on her face was a little pale and weak.

“Eldest wife, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Zhao Lanhua checked her forehead with concern and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that she did not have a fever.
