I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating Chapter 160 – 160 Fortunately

160 Fortunately

“In that case, what happened last night really happened?” Zhao Lanhua was even more puzzled. “But that person's injuries are so serious. How did he leave?”

“Mother, let's not think about it, right?” Ji Zhao pondered for a long time before analyzing softly. “After all, we don't know the background of that person. For the sake of caution, let's pretend that nothing happened last night?”

“Alright, I'll listen to you.”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lit an incense stick for the Earth God.

The moment Ji Zhao closed her eyes, she felt a sharp pain on her neck. She widened her eyes in surprise and what greeted her eyes was a large saber that was emitting a cold light!

The person holding the saber was a five-foot-three-inch fatty. There was a scar on his face that looked terrifying.

Behind him was the benevolent statue of the Earth god.

The candles on both sides of the shrine were about to burn to ashes.

Just as Ji Zhao was about to call for help, she felt that she could not make any sound at all!

“Ah Tao, run!” At this moment, Ji Zhao realized that her mother-in-law's arm had been stabbed by the thug—

There was a loud noise all around. It sounded like the sound of hooves.

The scene suddenly changed. A raging fire rose in front of her. She even saw Shen Yao, who was covered in injuries, rush into the burning Earth Temple.

“No!” Ji Zhao shouted nervously. Soon, she was drenched in sweat.

“Ah Tao?” Zhao Lanhua, who was beside her, helped her up nervously. “Ah Tao? Wake up quickly.”

“Mother?” A moment later, Ji Zhao finally opened her eyes and could speak.

“You child, did you not rest well last night? Why did you fall asleep after offering incense to the Earth god?” Zhao Lanhua was about to touch her forehead when Ji Zhao stood up from the ground with a start.

She nervously circled her surroundings and finally fixed her gaze on the candles on both sides of the shrine platform!

The dream just now was not a simple dream!

That must have been a warning from the Earth God!

Ji Zhao quickly figured it out. She immediately rushed to the statue and used all her strength to carry the statue on her back.

“Ah Tao?” Zhao Lanhua was dumbfounded. “What are you doing?”

“Mother, wait for me outside the temple first!” Ji Zhao said anxiously. “Quick!”

“Alright, alright, alright, don't be anxious!” Zhao Lanhua hurriedly replied and hurried out of the Earth Temple.

“Earth God, thank you for your kind reminder. I will definitely rebuild the temple for you tomorrow!” Ji Zhao promised seriously. Then, he picked up the two candles and threw them on the reed mat in the corner!

The fire rose immediately!

Ji Zhao rushed out and grabbed Zhao Lanhua's arm. Just as she was about to rush to the Shen family's courtyard, she felt her feet stumble. It was so painful that she gasped.

Once, twice, three times—

After falling three times in a row, Ji Zhao immediately grabbed Zhao Lanhua and changed directions.

This time, she did not fall.

Tap, tap, tap—

The hurried sound of horse hooves could be heard.

Ji Zhao, who was lying in the bushes at the back of the mountain, carefully pulled at the weeds in front of her and saw the group of people clearly.

The man in the lead was the scar-faced man she had foreseen earlier!

“Why is there a fire here?”

“It's too much of a coincidence.”

“Boss, there's a village nearby. Why don't we…” One of the men with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks deliberately made a throat-slitting gesture.

Scarface refused with a straight face. “We can't complicate matters. Let's continue chasing!”

“Okay.”

Ji Zhao felt more and more at ease as she watched the group of people leave.

When she thought of the scene she had foreseen at the Earth Temple, she still felt a lingering fear.

“Ah Tao? Why is your face so red? Are you really alright?”

“Mother.” Ji Zhao lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, “We escaped just now.”

Around 11am, in the Shen residence.

Zhao Lanhua and Shen Yao were stunned after hearing Ji Zhao's words.

This was especially true for Zhao Lanhua. She had not expected that she would almost lose her life. This was truly too terrifying.

“Don't be afraid.” Shen Yao, who had quickly calmed down, gently held Ji Zhao's hand and comforted her gently. “Ah Tao, you did well. You saved yourself and Mother.”

“It's not me, it's the Earth God.” Ji Zhao hurriedly looked at the Earth God statue on the Eight Immortals' table, her eyes filled with guilt. “Just now, in order to escape danger, I had no choice but to burn the Earth Temple. I hope the Earth God won't blame me.”

“The Earth God won't blame you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have warned you that you would be in danger.” Shen Yao quickly comforted her. “Although this sounds unbelievable, I believe you.”

If Ah Tao had not stopped Shen Dashan from going fishing, something might have happened to him…

“I wonder who the person who appeared at the Earth Temple last night was? How did he attract such a vicious killer?” Ji Zhao sighed silently with her hands supporting her chin.

“That's not important anymore.” Shen Yao quickly comforted them. “Fortunately, you guys were safe this time.”

“Yes, fortunately!”

Shen Yao thought about it and got up to go to the kitchen to make two bowls of soup.

Zhao Lanhua and Ji Zhao each drank a bowl.

“Mother, Ah Tao, after lunch, go back to your rooms and have a good sleep,” Shen Yao instructed gently. “Tomorrow morning, let's go take a look at the new shop in the county city, okay?”

“Okay.”

Due to Ji Zhao's frightful experience, lunch duty was divided between Shen Yao and Second Sister-in-law Shen.

The family was very satisfied with the simple three dishes and soup.

The afternoon sun was very warm, but Ji Zhao, who was lying in bed, was not sleepy at all.

She was still immersed in the dream she had foreseen.

According to the contents of the dream, she and her mother would have died in the Earth Temple today.

Knock knock knock—

Just as her thoughts were running wild, Shen Yao knocked on the door.

“Ah Tao?”

“It's unlocked.”

Shen Yao walked up to her and touched her forehead without a word.

Fortunately, there were no signs of heat.

“Were you frightened today?” Seeing that her eyes were still filled with fear, Shen Yao sat beside her and asked gently.

“Yes.” Ji Zhao nodded honestly. “If not for the Earth God's kind reminder, I'm afraid Mother and I would have already…”

“Don't think too much.” Shen Yao quickly pulled her into his arms. His broad palm caressed her soft black hair, and his tone was filled with gentleness. “It's fine now, so don't think too much.”

“Okay.” Ji Zhao lay in his arms and listened to his steady and strong heartbeat. She gradually calmed down. After a while, she finally fell asleep.

Thanks to a heavy rain, the fire in the Earth Temple did not spread to other places.

However, when Shen Yao rushed over, the former Earth Temple had already turned into ruins.

“I saved you, but you plan to be a coward?” Shen Yao sneered and questioned when he heard the sound from behind him.
