Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations

First Madam Qin’s return could be said to have caused a storm in the Qin family.

Even Ji Zhao, who was staying at the inn, heard some rumors.

“First Madam Qin is Prefect Chen’s biological sister, and the Qin family is the richest family in Yunchuan, so if anything happens within the Qin family, there will be rumors on the streets,” Shen Yao explained with a smile when he saw Ji Zhao’s puzzled expression.

“I’m just a little surprised. That Miss Lu from the Yunchuan General Judge’s Residence is actually the niece of Brother Qin’s stepmother?’ Ji Zhao just felt that these relationships were really complicated.

“It’s a little complicated.”

Shen Yao was also surprised by the relationship between Lu Hongshan and the Qin family.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Ji Zhao smiled and looked into his eyes. She asked gently, “Isn’t the second round of the exam today? Shouldn’t we set off for the examination venue?’

“I’ll go myself.” Shen Yao gently tapped the tip of her nose. His tone was firm and unquestionable. “Stay in the inn obediently and wait for me to return.”

“Alright.” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and said with a smile, “Then I’ll tell Innkeeper Qian later that I’ll borrow the inn’s kitchen to make some mooncakes.”

“Later, shall we enjoy mooncakes together?” It would be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. Ji Zhao wanted to take this opportunity to practice and make a few more mooncakes with different flavors.

“I’ll listen to you,” Shen Yao replied obediently. His eyes, which were as bright as the galaxy, were filled with gentle affection.

At the end of the morning, Ji Zhao asked the shopkeeper to buy all the ingredients needed to make mooncakes. Two days ago, she had already asked the shopkeeper to order some molds for making mooncakes. Today, they would come in handy.

In addition to the usual mixed nut mooncakes, lotus seed paste mooncakes, and egg yolk mooncakes, Ji Zhao also made snow skin mooncakes.

“Snow skin mooncakes?”

When Immortal Crane heard this new term, he was very curious. “What flavor is this mooncake? How is it different from the other mooncakes?’

Ji Zhao thought about it seriously for a moment. Finally, she snapped her fingers and said, ‘There are two characteristics of a snow skin mooncake. The first is that the ingredients used for the outer skin are glutinous rice, not syrup.

The second is the texture.”

Ordinary mooncakes were mostly baked, so the texture was relatively hard. Especially the mixed nut mooncake, it could simply make people break their teeth.

However, the snow skin mooncakes did not have this problem. The snow skin mooncakes had a better texture. They were soft and smooth. It could be said that it was suitable for both the old and the young.

“No matter what you say, the taste of these mooncakes can only be determined after a try!” The Immortal Crane smiled. After taking a bite of the snow skin mooncake, he consciously gave Ji Zhao a thumbs up. “It’s indeed delicious!” Hearing this, Ji Zhao raised her eyebrows smugly. “Of course. Don’t you know who made this delicious food?”

“Have you finished the homework I gave you previously?” The Immortal Crane suddenly looked up and his lips curled into a faint smile. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to learn how to make poison? Why haven’t you put it into action yet?’

“I’ll go right away…” Ji Zhao hurriedly put down the mooncake in her hand and obediently returned to her room to continue memorizing.

The range of the poison was really too wide. What gave Ji Zhao a headache was that some herbs that were not poisonous could be mixed together to create a highly toxic poison..

Ji Zhao looked at the book spread out in front of the desk. After a while, she felt sleepy.

However, she felt like she was dreaming again?

Although the scene in the dream was a little unfamiliar, the person in the dream was very familiar.

Qin Minghong, who was in a hurry, held a long sword dripping with blood and glared at the smug Lu Hongshan.

“Could it be that Cousin wants to kill me for an unrelated woman? Cousin, don’t forget that Ji Ah Tao is already a married woman! I don’t know where this woman cultivated her bewitching ability to actually charm you men? Could it be that her skills in bed are very outstanding?”

“Shut up!” Qin Minghong slapped her mercilessly. ‘You’re full of dirty words!”

“I’m warning you one last time. If you dare to do anything to hurt Ah Tao again, I’ll definitely take your life!’

‘Qin Minghong!’ Lu Hongshan covered her face and scolded angrily, “Don’t pretend to be righteous after taking advantage! Don’t you like Ji Ah Tao? I used a method to send her to your bed. It’s fine if you don’t say a word of gratitude, but you still hit me?”

“Lu Hongshan, you’re so dirty.”

“Fine! Very well!” Lu Hongshan sneered. “Just you wait!”

The scene changed again. Ji Zhao actually saw her hanging herself?

What? What was going on?

Why would she think of suicide?

This was too strange!

When Ji Zhao took a closer look, she realized that she was unconscious.

“Miss… are we really going to do this? If someone finds out…”

‘What’s there to panic about? Dead people are the safest.” Lu Hongshan smiled smugly. “Besides, that b*tch JiAh Tao deserves to die!”

Bang!

Shen Yao, who was dressed in white, kicked open the door and quickly cut off the white silk around Ji Zhao’s neck!

He turned around and looked at Lu Hongshan with a terrifying gaze.

That gaze was as if he was looking at a dead person—

The moment Shen Yao threw the dagger, Ji Zhao shouted anxiously, “No!”

Once Shen Yao really killed Lu Hongshan, his career would be hopeless.

He might even be imprisoned for the rest of his life!

‘What’s wrong?” Hearing Ji Zhao’s exclamation, Immortal Crane quickly rushed over. “My good disciple, are you alright?”

At this moment, Ji Zhao was covered in cold sweat and had lingering fears.

Without another word, Immortal Crane hurriedly checked her pulse.

“Master, I just had a terrible nightmare.” Ji Zhao, who had gradually calmed down, lowered her eyes slightly. Her low voice had lingering fears and panic.

“I’ll make you a bowl of calming tea.”

“Thank you, Master.” Ji Zhao raised her eyes slightly and forced a smile.

After drinking a bowl of calming tea, Ji Zhao felt that her emotions had completely stabilized.

Just as she was about to rest for a moment, Qin Minghong arrived at the inn. “Birthday banquet?” Ji Zhao was a little surprised. “Brother Qin is actually 23 years old?”

‘Yes.” Noticing that her face was pale and weak, Qin Minghong asked with concern, “Ah Tao, you don’t look too good. Did something happen?”

“No.” Ji Zhao smiled in embarrassment. “l had a nightmare earlier and was shocked. However, Master has already brewed some calming tea for me.”

“That’s good.” Qin Minghong thought for a moment and took out an invitation from his pocket. He explained with a smile, “Come with Shen Yao when the time comes. After all, with Shen Yao’s jealousy, I wouldn’t dare to invite you alone!’

“Brother Qin, you’re being too serious.” Ji Zhao couldn’t help but smile.. ‘My husband isn’t that petty!’
