The wealthy stepmom became wildly popular in the parenting show-Chapter 709: Hands Are Numb

Empress Li: "???"

Did she get assigned some terrible task?

"In a moment, we’ll display photos of everyone completing their tasks within the estate for all to see," the voice of the show’s director said.

The moment he mentioned displaying the photos, Qi Yue became immediately anxious. "There are photos? And they’re going to be put up for everyone to see?! Are you going to post pictures of me cleaning up sheep droppings? Director! Have you even considered my feelings?!"

"Pfft!"

Many people couldn’t help but laugh.

Including Li Xingwan and her group.

So she was assigned to clean up after the sheep.

"Hahaha! I don’t know why, folks, but I just find this so funny," someone said.

"Maybe it’s because Qi Yue was too much before? She pushed Li Xingwan’s friend out of jealousy."

Now it seemed like she was getting her comeuppance. Thus, everyone couldn’t contain their chuckles, bursting into laughter.

Qi Yue: "Now everyone knows I’ve been cleaning up after the sheep! I’ve lost all my dignity!"

"This is a huge blunder in my career as an empress!"

"And what’s with this director, what is he thinking? Is he out to get me?!"

"Anyway, I won’t allow it!" Qi Yue stormed, her face getting darker and more unsightly by the minute.

Just then, Zheng Shaosu and Wu Qianqing came out.

All eyes immediately turned towards them.

Their performance in the task at hand was nothing short of lovey-dovey.

The sight had everyone bubbling with a pink, romantic glow, and even now, everyone noticed the unusual vibe between the two.

"By the way, did you two run into each other just now?" Empress Li asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

"Yes," Wu Qianqing nodded. "The end of my path was also the end of his. So, we ended up completing a task together."

She described it very simply, almost glossing over it.

"What task was it?" Li Xingwan was curious.

She somewhat suspected that this might have been a deliberate arrangement by the production team.

Wu Qianqing was a tad embarrassed to reveal it. It was Zheng Shaosu who ended up speaking. "We just prepared dinner for everyone. There were a few dairy cows at the farm, and we gave it a try."

As he spoke, he even shook his jacket. "A good forty-plus kilograms."

It had left his hands numb from milking.

"Haha!" Everyone in the live studio and on-site burst into laughter upon hearing his words.

"So that was your task," Li Xingwan observed them. "Then didn’t you get a good chance to bond?"

"Miss Li," Wu Qianqing looked over at her, her heart beating far too fast. She didn’t want to show too much in front of the cameras.

"Alright, alright, I’m your shipper, okay?" Li Xingwan added.

"Us too! Us too!" The audience echoed enthusiastically.

"We’re also shippers for them!"

"Forever love for Emperor Zheng and Empress Wu!"

"Waiting for the outcome."

But Li Xingwan found it strange. Why hadn’t they gotten together when they were younger? And why was Emperor Zheng pursuing her so fiercely now?

Before she could ponder further, someone from the production team spoke up. "Miss Li, Empress Li, have you noticed a certain issue?"

Li Xingwan and Empress Li turned to look at the director. "What?"

Both were clearly puzzled.

"Did you notice that the two paths you both took just now actually lead to each other?"

Li Xingwan: "???"

Empress Li: "???"

They looked back and indeed saw that the path Li Xingwan was on connected with Empress Li’s path.
