Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother Novel - Chapter 345

345 Creepy And Infatuated

Yu Zhizhi was thinking about Jiang Danhe happily. While eavesdropping in the toilet, she only remembered the part where the women talked about Jiang Danhe being in the garden pavilion. She did not pay attention to the name that was mentioned afterwards…

Yu Zhizhi could hear laughter from afar. She was instantly mesmerized and overwhelmed with emotions. This was the first time she had heard Brother Jiang laugh.

The Prime Minister’s wife stopped and frowned. “Let’s go somewhere else.”

“Why?!” Yu Zhizhi panicked and looked at her in disbelief. Why was she changing directions?

!!
The Prime Minister’s wife gave her a disdainful look. Without a word, she started walking the other way.

However, Yu Zhizhi was adamant. She tried to drag Mrs. Yang towards the pavilion. As she held onto her, she said, “Madam, there’s some shade in the pavilion. You can rest there for a while. It might not be beneficial for you to walk for too long.”

The Prime Minister’s wife was caught off guard and was dragged about one meter from where she was. The servant beside her pushed Yu Zhizhi away and shouted, “How dare you!”

Yu Zhizhi fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on her face. Then, she glared at the old woman who pushed her down. “Why did you push me?”

The Prime Minister’s wife didn’t say anything. She only smoothed out the hem of her dress leisurely.

The old woman, who just pushed Yu Zhizhi away, said aggressively, “How dare you! Who gave you permission to pull and drag Madam along? I could hear the voice of a man coming from the pavilion. What is your motive, bringing Madam over to the pavilion?”

“I…” Yu Zhizhi was speechless. She didn’t know how to explain herself. It was indeed wrong of her to pull the lady, but it was even more wrong for that dog to push her.

Then, she glanced at Mrs. Yang viciously. Her dog had pushed someone, but she was behaving like it was none of her business. How disgusting. She was merely someone who came from a rich and influential family in the capital. In fact she was not even some big official. What a cocky ass!

Yu Zhizhi, who was filled with resentment, retracted her gaze and looked down at the ground. After thinking for a long time, she lowered her head and pleaded for mercy.

“Madam, please forgive me. I was really worried about your health. If you continue walking under the sun, you will definitely succumb to the heat. Moreover, there’s only one big pavilion around. I got so excited that I didn’t hear anything. I almost…”

As she spoke, tears streamed down Yu Zhizhi’s face. During this time, she had been eating and sleeping well on the island. She didn’t have to work outdoors or be exposed to the elements. Moreover, she had secretly used some of Mrs. Yang’s white ointment, therefore, her skin had become much fairer. When she cried, she looked quite pitiful and delicate.

Mrs. Yang was old and could not bear to see a young woman cry like this. There were no men here. There was no use for her petty ways here.

“Alright, alright!” The Prime Minister’s wife waved her hand impatiently. “Get up.”

“Yes.”

Yu Zhizhi quickly stopped crying and stood up. She stood beside her, completely filled with disdain. She finally realized something. Besides being unwell physically, Lady Yang was also sick in the mind.

The commotion on this side alarmed Xiaoguo and the gang. After leaving Xiaoyi and Zhuang Zhuang behind, Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe walked towards the source of the commotion.

Jiang Danhe was concerned for Xiaguo’s safety, so he held her hand and walked ahead of her.

The first thing he saw was the unhappy face of the Prime Minister’s wife. Jiang Danhe tugged at Xiaoguo and gestured for her to look in that direction.

Xiaoguo walked to his side and looked over. Not only did she see the Prime Minister’s wife, she also saw Yu Zhizhi, who was crying.

What was going on?

The two of them looked at each other, feeling puzzled.

Since they had seen the two women, they couldn’t just leave silently. Moreover, the other party had also seen them. It was even more impossible for them to leave without greeting them.

“Hello, Mrs. Yang.”

“Aiyo, it’s General… Old Master Jiang…”

The Prime Minister’s wife had almost blurted out the word “general” when she suddenly glanced at Yu Zhizhi, who was beside her. Hence, she quickly changed the way she addressed him.

Yu Zhizhi’s tears, which had just stopped, were about to flow again when she saw Jiang Danhe. She subconsciously ignored Xiaoguo who was standing beside him.

If not for the bad timing, she really wanted to pounce on him and hug him. She wished for him to avenge her and teach this wilting old woman a lesson!

“Mrs. Jiang, your fame has fallen short of the truth. Seeing you in person, you look like a lotus flower blooming in the water. No wonder our Old Master Jiang chose to stay by your side all day long.”

The Prime Minister’s wife teased. Everyone knew about Jiang Danhe’s devotion for his wife. Wherever the couple went, it was hard to miss their display of affection for each other. As long as Mrs. Jiang was around, General Jiang would definitely be within the vicinity.

These ladies hardly stepped out of their houses. Firstly, they were afraid of the heat. Secondly, they were afraid of being blinded by the public display of affection between the couple. Just hearing about it made them extremely jealous, let alone seeing it with their own eyes.

For a period of time, many of these ladies felt like they were soaking in the vinegar vat all day.

Xiaoguo felt a little shy listening to the lady’s praise. She said humbly, “Not at all. Madam, you flatter me.”

After saying that, she tried to retract her hand, but Jiang Danhe’s grip on her hand tightened.

“Since we’ve bumped into each other, why don’t we go to the pavilion for a cup of cold tea? My wife specially made this. It’s not available anywhere else.”

Jiang Danhe’s praise made Xiaoguo feel embarrassed. She secretly pinched him a few times to make him stop.

When the Prime Minister’s wife heard this, her interest was instantly piqued. Her legs were already sore. If she walked a little longer, she would definitely suffer at night. It would be best if she could sit down. Besides, the general and his wife were not strangers.

“Alright. Then I can only apologize for intruding…”

Jiang Danhe chuckled and said politely, “Mrs. Yang, please don’t say that. Please come this way.”

Yu Zhizhi stiffly helped Mrs. Yang towards the pavilion. When she passed by Jiang Danhe, she took a deep breath creepily. The refreshing musk fragrance entered her lungs, making her feel intoxicated. She didn’t know that the handsome Brother Jiang smelled so good. He was indeed different from other men.

Xiaoguo took a few steps back with Jiang Danhe and looked at Yu Zhizhi with displeasure. Why was she being so blatant about her affection for the man? Should she pretend not to see it?

Of course, she had to keep up with the pretense. It was too early to expose Yu Zhizhi now. It was really quite difficult to act like she was blind.

Everyone present was smart, except for Yu Zhizhi. Everyone could see what she was up to.

This was especially so for the Prime Minister’s wife. Upon arrival at the pavilion earlier on, she first sensed an inexplicable tightening of Yu Zhizhi’s grip on her arm, and also her chaotic breathing. She could see the woman’s odd behavior when she turned her head slightly. Coupled with the scene of Yu Zhizhi insisting on bringing her to the pavilion, she immediately understood. This woman really had ulterior motives.

The Prime Minister’s wife snorted silently in her heart and despised Yu Zhizhi even more. Although this was not her first time seeing someone so eager to become a concubine, she still despised the woman every time she saw her.

Yu Zhizhi tried all ways to show Jiang Danhe her most beautiful state, even though he did not even look at her.

The servants who were walking with the Prime Minister’s wife waited outside the pavilion. Only Xiaoguo, Jiang Danhe, the Prime Minister’s wife, and Yu Zhizhi, who kept clinging on to the lady, entered the pavilion.

When she entered the pavilion, the Prime Minister’s wife spotted Xiaoyi at first glance. She refused to sit down no matter what.

Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe tried to persuade her for a long time before she walked to a spot that was three meters away from the pavilion. She looked like she was made to stand there as a punishment, Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe could neither sit nor stand, so they had to stand with her. After all, the other party was quite advanced in age. It didn’t feel right if they sat down while watching her stand.

Xiaoyi looked at Xiaoguo innocently. He hadn’t done anything at all…
