Her angry look became another kind of charm in Shen Yao’s eyes.

“It seems that Zhaozhao isn’t tired?” “No!” Ji Zhao snapped out of her daze.

Knock knock—

There was a sudden knock on the door. Zhao Lanhua, who was waiting outside, asked with concern, “Ah Tao, are you awake? Mother has made ginseng black chicken soup. Drink a bowl while it’s hot.”

“Okay, coming!’

A moment later, Ji Zhao sat obediently at the table in the central room. She carefully savored the black chicken soup that Zhao Lanhua had meticulously brewed. Then, she gave her a thumbs up from the bottom of her heart and praised her generously, “Mother, your cooking is really amazing! This bowl of black chicken soup is really fresh!”

“Drinkmore if you like it,” Zhao Lanhua said happily. “I see that you haven’t been looking too good recently. Third Brother doesn’t know how to dote on his wife at all!”

…..
Ever since they got married, the dark circles around Ji Zhao’s eyes had never disappeared!

As an experienced person, how could Zhao Lanhua not understand?

“No, Shen Yao treats me very well.” Ji Zhao did not understand the deeper meaning in Zhao Lanhua’s words. Instead, she happily drank another bowl of black chicken soup.

After she finished the soup, Zhao Lanhua brought her into her room.

“This is?’ Looking at the pouch on the table, Ji Zhao was a little puzzled.

“This is the silver I prepared for you. It’s not much. It’s only sixty taels in total. There’s a banknote worth fifty taels and ten taels of silver. Mother specially exchanged it for loose silver and copper coins for you.” Zhao Lanhua held her hand and said earnestly, “As the saying goes, one can save at home, but if one were to go out, they must bring enough money to save trouble!’

“Mother, you don’t have to prepare these. I have enough silver on me!”

“Don’t refuse!” Zhao Lanhua interrupted her forcefully. Then, she said worriedly, “Ah Tao, when you and Third Brother go to the prefecture capital this time, you must be careful and take care of yourself, understand?’

“Mother, don’t worry.” Ji Zhao quickly comforted her. “We will definitely take good care of ourselves.”

“Mothers are all worried when their children travel far!” Zhao Lanhua smiled helplessly. Then, she looked at Ah Tao and reminded her seriously.

“Tomorrow morning, I’ll accompany you to the Earth Temple to burn incense.” Zhao Lanhua thought for a moment and immediately made a decision.

“Okay.”

Even if Zhao Lanhua did not mention it, Ji Zhao was prepared to make a trip to the Earth Temple before she left.

Previously, she had the idea of opening a Spring Breeze Pavilion in the prefectural city. She had also asked Qin Minghong to help her choose some suitable shops. Some time ago, Qin Minghong had picked out three shops, but Ji Zhao felt that she still had to go and observe before she could make a comparison.

The next morning, at dawn, Zhao Lanhua accompanied Ji Zhao to the Earth Temple.

Ji Zhao piously knelt in front of the statue of the Earth God and sincerely kowtowed.

Just as she stood up and was about to insert the incense stick into the incense burner on the altar, she felt dizzy and finally fell to the ground with a plop!

“Ah Tao!” Zhao Lanhua exclaimed when she saw this scene. She rushed forward and called her name anxiously.

However, Ji Zhao seemed to be in a deep sleep. No matter how hard she called out to her, she couldn’t wake up…

A cloud of dust suddenly appeared in her eyes. Ji Zhao felt a sharp pain in her eyes and subconsciously said, “Water—”

Her throat was so dry that it hurt. She struggled desperately, but she realized that she was tied up by a rope and could not break free at all.

“Nanny, why don’t we give her some water? What if she really dies in our residence?” A female voice was mixed with worry.

“Isn’t that just nice?’ Another rough female voice sneered. “Eldest Miss wants her to die. If she dies, Young Master Shen can marry our Eldest Miss!”

Listening to their conversation, Ji Zhao frowned and could not help but have some guesses.

She had been kidnapped. The mastermind wanted her dead.

The mastermind doing this for Shen Yao?

Just as Ji Zhao pricked up her ears, wanting to hear more news, she felt a sharp pain in her nose—

“You’re awake, you’re awake! Zhao Lanhua watched as she slowly opened her eyes. She kept muttering, “It’s all thanks to the Earth God’s blessings! Ah Tao, are you alright? You don’t know how scared I was when you suddenly fainted!”

“Mother.” Ji Zhao slowly sat up from the ground with her help. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

“Ah Tao, are you really alright? Why don’t I accompany you to see a doctor?’ Zhao Lanhua was still a little worried.

“I’m really fine.” Ji Zhao quickly smiled at her. “Maybe I didn’t sleep last night.”

“Third Brother, that punk, I’ll beat him up when we get back!”

“Mother…” Ji Zhao held her forehead helplessly. Clearly, Mother had misunderstood her words again.

However, when she recalled the scene that had just happened in her dream, Ji Zhao silently pursed her lips.

At the same time, in the Shen family’s courtyard.

Shen Yao had already prepared his luggage. When he heard footsteps, he immediately walked into the courtyard. However, his mother pinched his ear!

“Mother? What are you doing?” Shen Yao asked anxiously.

“You punk, how dare you ignore Mother’s words!” Zhao Lanhua was furious. “Do you think you can bully your wife? To think that you’ve studied for so many years!”

“Zhaozhao?” Facing the furious Zhao Lanhua, Shen Yao could only look at Ji Zhao’s face.

However, at this moment, Ji Zhao had her arms crossed over her chest as she looked at him quietly. She had no intention of pleading for mercy.

Ji Zhao gave him a look that said, “You’re on your own.” Then, she turned around and returned to the house.

Fifteen minutes later.

Shen Yao hurriedly walked into the room, his eyes filled with worry. “Mother said that you fainted again at the Earth Temple? Did you have another dream?”

Ji Zhao’s dreams meant that danger was approaching.

Shen Yao knew this too.

‘Yeah.”

“Is it related to me?’ Shen Yao looked at her with worry.

“Nothing will happen.” Ji Zhao held his hand and said with a smile, “I know what to do.’

“Zhaozhao…”

“Shen Yao.” Ji Zhao shook her head at him and pointed at the bright sky outside the window. “It’s getting late. We should set off.”

Other than Shen Yao and his wife, Immortal Crane was also prepared to accompany them to Yunchuan Prefecture.

Under Shen Yao and Zhao Lanhua’s strong request, Ji Zhao could only obediently hand her arm to her master. ‘Master, I’ve already taken my own pulse. I’m really fine.”

“Doctors don’t treat themselves.” Immortal Crane silently raised his eyelids and looked at her. Then, he took her pulse seriously. After a while, he said softly, “It’s not a big deal, but it’s a little weak. You need to eat more food to nourish your blood and energy..”
