When Shen Yao, who was drinking tea, heard this, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Minghong with a hint of coldness.

“Ahem.” Qin Minghong laughed awkwardly and said, “Ah Tao, it’s getting late. Why don’t you and Shen Yao stay in the restaurant for the night?”

“No need.” Ji Zhao smiled and declined his good intentions.

“Then I’ll get someone to prepare the carriage?”

“No need.” Ji Zhao refused again. “Shen Yao and I plan to walk back. The sky is still a little bright now. We can take a look at the scenery in the fields along the way.”

“All right, then.

It was almost dark, but the weather was still stuffy.

After leaving the city gate, Ji Zhao’s mood became heavier and heavier.

The crops on both sides of the official road were not in good condition.

“This year won’t be a prosperous year.” Shen Yao gently squeezed her palm and comforted her gently. “Zhaozhao, don’t be sad. Natural and man-made disasters are all unavoidable calamities.”

“I just feel that…” Ji Zhao felt a little uncomfortable, and even her voice was a little sour. “I feel that everyone has suffered too much.”

The current Great Jing Dynasty was no longer as grand as it was in the past.

It was said that many states and counties had the phenomenon of selling their children. If a person could not even survive the most basic way, they would naturally breed boundless malice.

“Only after experiencing bitterness can you taste sweetness,” Shen Yao advised gently. “Zhaozhao, don’t think too much.”

“Shen Yao, I’m a little tired.”

“Then I’ll carry you.”

Shen Yao immediately half-squatted in front of her, and Ji Zhao did not refuse.

She lay on Shen Yao’s broad back obediently and gradually felt sleepy.

Shen Yao immediately slowed down when he heard her warm and even snores.

In the Shen family’s courtyard.

Zhao Lanhua looked at the grevious Ji Chen and felt a little guilty.

“Chenchen, don’t blame your sister. This is all our fault. We forgot that the newly married bride needs to go home, and we also forgot that you were still waiting for her in the Ji residence.” Zhao Lanhua took all the responsibility on herself. “Your sister and brother-in-law must have something urgent to attend to, so they went to the county office.”

“Mm,” Ji Chen answered obediently. “Auntie, I’m not angry.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

Seeing that Ji Chen’s expression had softened, Zhao Lanhua was relieved. “Chenchen, what do you want to eat? Shall I make it for you?’

“Auntie, I’m not hungry.” Ji Chen smiled and shook his head. “I want to wait here for Sister to come back”

“Alright, then I’ll cut some watermelons for you to eat?”

“Thank you, Auntie. ‘

Ji Chen smiled and sat obediently in the central room, quietly waiting for Ji Zhao’s return.

Halfway through the night, Shen Yao, who was carrying Ji Zhao on his back, finally returned to the Shen family’s courtyard.

However, Ji Zhao, who was lying on his back, was still sound asleep.

“Shh!”

Ji Chen heard the noise and rushed out. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Yao made a gesture at him.

He immediately slowed down and carefully took two steps back.

A moment later, just as Shen Yao was about to place the person on his back on the soft couch, Ji Zhao woke up.

“Are we home?” Ji Zhao asked softly with sleepy eyes.

‘Yes, we’re here,” Shen Yao replied softly. “Are you hungry?” “Yes.” Ji Zhao nodded frankly. “1 want to eat cold noodles.”

“Okay.”

Ji Zhao lazily stretched her waist and washed her face. Finally, she was completely awake.

The moment she pushed the door open and saw Ji Chen, her eyes were filled with surprise. “Chenchen, why are you back?”

“Sister, have you forgotten that today is the day you return home?” Ji Chen looked at her helplessly.

Early this morning, Ji Chen asked Aunt Guihua to buy chicken, duck, and fish. Then, he stayed in the Ji residence and waited for his sister to bring his brother-in -law home.

In the end, his sister did not seem to remember this at all?

“Return home?” Ji Zhao felt even more guilty. “I-I really didn’t think of this.” “It’s okay.” Ji Chen comforted her softly. Then, he took out two red envelopes that he had prepared in advance and handed them to Ji Zhao.

“This is?’

“I prepared it in grandfather’s name.” Ji Chen smiled faintly, his clear eyes sparkling with stars. “Sister married a good man. I think grandfather will be very happy if he knows in the netherworld, so I prepared these.”

Ji Zhao was extremely touched. She wanted to say something, but she realized that she was already choking.

“Sister, if nothing goes wrong, I should be leaving tomorrow.” Ji Chen suddenly approached her and obediently wiped away the tears on her face. He said softly, ‘Tomorrow morning, I’ll go to the county city to meet the teacher. I’ve also asked Uncle Wei to take care of things back home.”

‘Why are you leaving in such a hurry?’ Ji Zhao was a little reluctant.

“I’ve already planned it. Moreover, the teacher said that he still has to visit a few classmates along the way. If we delay it any longer, I’m afraid we won’t be able to rush back before the New Year.” Ji Chen smiled and explained obediently, “So, can you make soup dumplings for me tomorrow morning?’

“Okay.” Ji Zhao readily agreed, but her heart was still filled with reluctance.

“Chenchen, follow me into the house.”

Ji Zhao took out a light blue bag from the closet and slowly opened it. She introduced it carefully, “I prepared some banknotes for you. I asked Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law to help sew these banknotes into these two sets of inner clothes. Oh right, there are also these bottles and jars. This bottle is Golden Wound Medicine, this bottle is an antidote pill. Oh right, and this small dagger. I specially asked your brother-in-law to help buy it. Remember to hide it well…”

Ji Chen was stunned. He was both touched and surprised. “Sister, when did you start preparing these?”

“In fact, Master Song had already told your brother-in-law about his plan to go down to Jiangnan. At that time, we thought that if Master Song was willing to take you with him, should I stop you or not?” Ji Zhao sat opposite him. Under the dim candlelight, she could see his young face clearly. “In fact, I didn’t want you to go at first, but your brother-in-law said that you are already grown. We should let you choose and respect your choice.”

Just like how a young eagle has to learn to soar when it grows up.

“Sister…”

Ji Chen couldn’t hold back anymore. He rushed into Ji Zhao’s arms and cried.

“I can’t bear to part with you either!”

When Shen Yao walked into the house with the cold noodles, he saw the siblings hugging each other and crying.

‘What’s going on?”

“Boohoo… Shen Yao, I can’t bear to leave Chenchen!” Ji Zhao pouted in grievance. “1 want to leave with Chenchen!”

Shen Yao sighed helplessly. Then, he placed the cold noodles on the table and turned around to get a basin of hot water.

“Wash your face first. You’ve already become a messy little kitten.” Shen Yao gently wiped the tears on her face, his gaze extremely gentle..
