YM778.TV Chapter 306 - 306: It Must Be Wonderful!
“Zhaozhao, it’s all my fault.” Shen Yao looked at her, his guilty eyes filled with heartache.
“Idiot!” Ji Zhao snuggled into his arms and hugged his neck intimately. She said with a smile, “Isn’t it proof that I have high standards that others are thinking about my husband?”
Hearing this, Shen Yao was caught between laughter and tears. “Zhaozhao, you…”
“My husband is incomparably handsome, and his temperament is like a flower in the mountains. It’s not strange for him to attract some wild bees and butterflies!” Ji Zhao intimately tapped the tip of his nose, and the smile on her face became even brighter. “Don’t worry, that Miss Lu who provoked me won’t have an easy time.”
Ji Zhao thought for a moment and whispered into his ear.
Only then did Shen Yao understand. “No wonder you said so much to her outside the examination venue.”
“Mm.” Ji Zhao raised her eyebrows smugly. “I’m not stupid. How can I not do anything when someone wants to harm me and snatch my husband? Besides, Master gave me an upgraded version of the Fragrant Beauty. I believe tonight will be wonderful for Miss Lu!’
“But then again,” Ji Zhao tugged at his lapels and gestured with her right pinky as she looked at him eagerly, “do you think I’m a little vicious?’
“My Zhaozhao is still too kind.” Shen Yao smiled and narrowed his eyes. “To me, those who hurt Zhaozhao deserve to die.’
At midnight, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the moonlight danced.
Lying on the soft couch, Lu Hongshan curled up in a corner in pain.
Her entire body was covered in dense red bumps. It was very itchy. It felt as if thousands of ants were wrapping around every inch of her skin and devouring it bite by bite.
At this moment, Lu Hongshan seemed to have lost her mind. She kept scratching her arms, neck, and cheeks!
The moment her sharp nails cut through her skin, Lu Hongshan instantly shuddered and exclaimed, “Someone come!”
In the middle of the night, the Lu Manor’s doctor carefully retracted the pulse pillow. “Eldest Miss has been poisoned by the Fragrant Beauty…”
“Hurry up and find a way to detoxify me!”
“Well…” The doctor frowned awkwardly.
‘Why are you hemming and hawing? If you can’t speak, there’s no need for you to keep your tongue!”
Lu Hongshan scolded angrily.
“Eldest Miss, please calm down. I will immediately write up a prescription. After the medicinal bath, you will no longer feel an unbearable itch on your body.
“Hurry up and go! ‘
It was not until dawn that Lu Hongshan, who had taken two rounds of medicinal baths, finally felt that her body was not so itchy anymore.
However, the scratches on her arms were still shocking.
“Miss…” Xing’er held the brewed medicine and walked to her side shakily. ‘The medicine—the medicine is ready.”
Just as Lu Hongshan was about to reach out to take it, the scorching temperature immediately made her retract her finger.
“Bastard!”
Lu Hongshan broke the bowl of medicine in anger. The boiling soup splashed on Xing’er’s face, making her grimace in pain!
Compared to Lu Hongshan, who could not sleep the entire night, Ji Zhao slept until dawn.
Squeak—
The moment Shen Yao pushed the door open and entered, he happened to meet
Ji Zhao’s dazed expression. “Zhaozhao is awake?’
“Aren’t there no exams today? Why are you up so early?’ Ji Zhao couldn’t help but yawn.
She remembered that the provincial imperial examination was divided into three rounds, on August 9th, 12th, and 15th respectively!
“Didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted to eat plain noodles?” Shen Yao placed the mahogany tray on the round wooden coffee table at the side. Then, he walked up to her with a smile and rubbed her cheek gently. ‘Quickly wash up and eat the noodles, okay?”
“Alright!’
Ji Zhao instantly woke up.
Shen Yao had personally made plain noodles. The noodles were as white as snow and the fragrance of green onions was strong.
“The scallions are fragrant and the noodles are tough. The soup is clear and fresh. It’s light and refreshing.” After finishing the bowl of plain noodles, Ji Zhao gave him a high evaluation generously. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and smiled shyly.
‘What’s wrong?”
“No, nothing. I just feel a little embarrassed.” Ji Zhao looked into his eyes and couldn’t help but smile. “l just felt that I should be the one taking care of you. Now, it’s the other way around. As the wife of an examinee, am I not doing my job?,
Shen Yao could not help but pinch her cheek. His smile was gentle, and his eyes were filled with love. “Silly girl.”
“I’m not silly! ‘
Just as the two of them were flirting, Immortal Crane knocked on the door.
A moment later, Ji Zhao was a little puzzled. “Master, are you planning to go to the Qin Residence?’
‘Yes.” Immortal Crane nodded slightly, a dark and unclear emotion hidden in the depths of his eyes. “Speaking of which, it’s time for me to meet my old friends.”
“I heard from Brother Qin that his aunt seems to be the biological sister of the Prefect of Yunchuan?’ Ji Zhao was a little surprised. ‘Master is actually an old acquaintance of First Madam Qin?”
Immortal Crane didn’t want to talk about it anymore. “Pack up and follow me to the Qin Residence.”
“Okay.”
At gam, Ji Zhao accompanied Immortal Crane to a large courtyard in the northern part of the prefecture.
The stone lions standing on both sides of the manor gate looked majestic.
The red-painted riveted door was slowly pulled open, making a dull and heavy sound.
Ji Zhao obediently followed behind Immortal Crane. After circling around a wall cawed with orchids, what greeted her eyes were dazzling strange rocks.
After going around a long and winding wooden corridor and walking east for another fifteen minutes, they finally stopped.
Along the way, Ji Zhao saw countless bonsais.
It was the time for the autumn chrysanthemums to bloom. Ji Zhao counted them carefully in her heart. There were at least a dozen different types of chrysanthemums.
After entering the inner room, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.
“There you are.”
A voice suddenly sounded from behind the screen that was painted with flowers, birds, fish, and insects.
“I heard that your head pain is acting up again?” Immortal Crane asked in a concerned tone.
“It’s been an old problem for many years. I’m sorry to trouble you.” The voice behind the screen was weak. “But I’m glad you came.”
“Accumulated frustrations turn into illnesses and block the heart. As time passes, not even the gods can cure you.” Immortal Crane persuaded helplessly, “So many years have passed. It’s time for you to let go.”
“BrotherO, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to let go…”
“I’ve been looking forward to his return for so many years…” First Madam Qin sighed sadly. “You don’t have to worry about my illness. I’ll be better in two days.”
“Since you know what you’re doing, I won’t disturb you anymore.” Before
Immortal Crane left, he pointed at Ji Zhao and said, “This girl’s name is Ji Zhao. She’s my good disciple. ‘
