Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“That punk Shen Hao insisted that Kang'er wanted to watch the cockfight. This punk is getting more and more mischievous. If I don't open his butt today, my surname won't be Jiang!” Second Sister-in-law Shen, who was extremely angry, shook the feather duster in her hand and said angrily.
...Seeing this, Ji Zhao silently poured a cup of hot tea for her second sister-in-law.
“Second Sister-in-law, don't be anxious. Drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat first?”
“Might as well.”
A moment later, Shen Hao, who looked aggrieved, cast a pleading look at Ji Zhao.
“Third Aunt, you have to save me. It's really Kang'er who pestered me to go out and watch the cockfight… I didn't want to bring him along at first, but if I didn't bring him along, he would keep hugging my neck and wouldn't let go!”
As early as last winter, Ji Zhao had gotten someone to bring the Shen family to the capital.
At first, Zhao Lanhua and her husband were unwilling, but Ji Zhao urged them repeatedly and sent letters to the two sisters-in-law, explaining how important a good educational environment was to the child's growth. Only then was the Shen family convinced to move.
Eldest Brother Shen also opened a Shen's pastry shop in the capital. Second Brother Shen stayed in Ji Zhao's Hongxiu Building to help as the second shopkeeper.
Ji Zhao planned to send Shen Tao and Shen Hao to the National University to study when they were older.
After all, the most important thing in a family was to be together.
Princess Kang Le was extremely grateful to the Shen family.
If Zhao Lanhua had not taken Ji Zhao in back then, Ji Zhao would have been living on the streets.
In addition, Zhao Lanhua was a straightforward and passionate person. Soon, she and Princess Kang Le became best friends.
Three days ago, the two of them had arranged to stay at the Huguo Temple outside the city.
“How dare you spout nonsense?” Second Sister-in-law Shen raised the feather duster in her hand and said angrily, “I think you're itching for a beating, right? How old is Kang'er? How dare you push all the excuses to Kang'er?”
“Second Sister-in-law, don't hit the child yet.” Ji Zhao smiled helplessly. “Perhaps Hao'er is telling the truth?”
Until the nanny carried Kang'er over.
Ji Zhao looked at her son helplessly and asked patiently, “Kang'er, were you the one who pestered your brother to go out and play?”
“Ah Tao, Kang'er is only half a year old. Can he really understand you?” Second Sister-in-law Shen expressed her doubts.
Until Shen Kang buried his head in Ji Zhao's arms and kept nuzzling—
“Kang'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“Kang'er isn't feeling unwell. He's admitting it.” Ji Zhao was extremely helpless. She leaned close to her good son's little head and said softly, “Kang'er, you can't do this next time, understand? Brother took the blame for you and was beaten up by Second Aunt!”
Shen Kang suddenly pouted and looked at Second Sister-in-law Shen aggrievedly.
“Aiyo, what's wrong with Kang'er? Why are you suddenly so sad? Did Second Aunt scare you with the feather duster in my hand?” Second Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly threw the feather duster away. “Kang'er, don't cry, don't cry! Second Aunt won't hit Brother anymore!”
Shen Hao, who witnessed this scene, could be said to be dumbstruck!
Could it be that Younger Brother Kang'er's was the drama queen mentioned in the books?
Later, when Shen Yao returned home, Ji Zhao told him what Kang'er had done.
“Shen Yao, although this sounds a little strange, I really think our Kang'er is a child with a high IQ.” After coaxing Kang'er to sleep, Ji Zhao said with a worried expression, “Will we be fooled by Kang'er in the future?”
“No.” Shen Yao immediately shook his head and said, “When he's older, we'll hire a strict teacher for him.”
He hoped that their son would put his clever little brain to good use.
Late at night, Ji Zhao nestled in Shen Yao's arms and gently closed her eyes.
“Zhaozhao,” Shen Yao held her arm tightly and called out in a low voice.
“Huh?” Ji Zhao, who still had her eyes closed, asked softly, “What's wrong? Did something happen in the court again?”
The current Shen Yao already had the title of Iron Blooded Grand Secretary.
After all, Grand Secretary Shen was an official who was not afraid of power. In just half a year, he had investigated dozens of cases, including some royal descendants.
“Something happened in Jiangnan.” Shen Yao sighed softly. “A few days ago, His Majesty received a letter from Brother Qin. In the letter, Brother Qin said that he had found some clues about the salt tax corruption case. However, before he could dig deeper, he had already encountered three consecutive assassinations.”
Ji Zhao nervously gripped his hand. “Then, His Majesty?”
“His Majesty urgently needs a trusted aide to go to Jiangnan to investigate this case.” Shen Yao gently kissed her forehead and said softly, “And I am the most suitable candidate.”
Different from Emperor Jingyuan's cronyism, Emperor Jingchen really wanted to revive the Great Jing Dynasty. He hoped to govern the Great Jing Dynasty into a prosperous era, but there were very few people he could use.
“Although His Majesty has allowed those of the humble class to take important roles, more than half of the officials in the imperial court are from aristocratic families. The power behind them is intertwined and extremely complicated. Now, the only ones His Majesty has placed an important role in are the Shen family, the Qin family, the Gu family, and the Zheng family.
“But Jiangnan is different. The situation in Jiangnan is even more serious. It can be said that it's extremely difficult for Qin Minghong to investigate the accounts of the salt tax in Jiangnan alone. However, if the salt tax case in Jiangnan can be cleared, it will be a good opportunity for His Majesty to establish his prestige.”
Ji Zhao nodded silently. “I understand what you mean. You want to be the sharpest knife in His Majesty's hand, right?”
“Yes.” Shen Yao immediately nodded. “Zhaozhao, I…”
“If you want to go, then go.” Ji Zhao looked up at him and could not help but smile. “Do whatever you want to do. I'll wait for you to come back.”
She had long known that her man had a passionate devotion to the Great Jing Dynasty.
In his heart, he hoped that Great Jing would get better and better!
“Zhaozhao, I will return safely.”
“Yes, I believe you.” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly and took the initiative to offer her lips again.
In a daze, he heard Ji Zhao say, “Husband, let's give birth to An'an?”
She wanted to give birth to his children. Now that they already had a little boy, she would be very happy if there was an An'an.
After an unknown period of time, Ji Zhao fell asleep.
Shen Yao kissed her forehead gently. His deep eyes were filled with tenderness.
It was raining during the Qingming Festival, and the weather in the capital was getting hotter and hotter.
Ji Zhao finally received Shen Yao's letter. When she finished reading the contents of the letter, her heart sank..
