Shen Yao smiled and held her waist. He raised his hand and tapped the tip of her nose. He explained softly, “I accompanied Brother Qin to visit Governor Zheng.”

Ever since Qin Minghong revealed his intention to become an official, Qin Chen wanted to help his son. In addition, Qin Minghong wanted to go to Yangzhou, so Qin Chen brought him to the Zheng residence.

After all, Governor Zheng’s hometown was Yangzhou, and Governor Zheng’s cousin, Zheng Shengjie, was the current inspector of Yangzhou.

Meanwhile, Shen Yao accompanied the Qin father and son into the residence to visit Governor Zheng.

“What a coincidence.” Ji Zhao looked up at him and smiled sweetly. “The Qin family’s eldest aunt brought me to visit Madam Zheng. By the way, this is Rongrong.”

Zheng Rongrong nervously hid behind Ji Zhao, her small hands nervously clutching Ji Zhao’s clothes. “Sister All Tao, who is he…”

“Rongrong, don’t be afraid.” Ji Zhao bowed slightly and smiled at Zheng Rongrong. “His name is Shen Yao. He’s my husband.”

…..
Zheng Rongrong raised her head in surprise. So Sister All Tao was already married?

“Then Sister All Tao won’t be able to marry my second brother, right…” Zheng Rongrong was a little sad. She even felt like crying.

“Rongrong, I believe that your second brother will definitely find a good girl who sincerely admires him in the future.” Ji Zhao gently wiped the tears on Zheng Rongrong’s face and explained in a low voice, “In a couple of days, I’ll bring some new pastries for Rongrong, okay?”

“Really?” Zheng Rongrong’s tears instantly turned into a smile. “Sister All Tao, will you still come to my house as a guest?”

“Of course!” Ji Zhao smiled and rubbed her little head. Her tone became even gentler. “We’re good friends, so we naturally have to come and go often.”

“That’s great!” Zheng Rongrong was overjoyed.

Even if Sister All Tao could not become her sister-in-law, as long as Sister All Tao was willing to come to the residence to visit her often, she would be satisfied!

Shen Yao did not expect his wife to be targeted by this young lady in front of him. He felt a little helpless and aggrieved.

His Zhaozhao was too charming.

“I didn’t expect Brother Shen to have married a long time ago.” An unfamiliar voice sounded. Ji Zhao then saw the two people behind Shen Yao.

“Zhaozhao.” Shen Yao held her hand and turned to face the man who had spoken just now. He was dressed in a green robe with dark embroidery patterns. He smiled and said, “This is Second Young Master Zheng.”

“Greetings, Second Young Master.” Ji Zhao smiled and bowed lightly.

“Hello, Sister-in-law!”

Zheng Yue replied with a smile.

Zheng Yue, who was already of age, was very tall. However, his skin was a little dark, but his facial features were very upright. The only flaw was the soybean-sized red bumps that extended from his eyelids to his lips.

These bumps affected Second Young Master Zheng’s looks, which was why Madam Zheng was so worried about her son’s marriage.

“Second Young Master Zheng, using too much cinnabar is very harmful to your skin.” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and kindly reminded him.

Zheng Yue did not expect Sister-in-law Shen to see that there was something wrong with the red bumps on his face at a glance. Just as he was about to speak, he heard his brother’s voice.

“Why is the garden so lively today?” Zheng Li, who was dressed in white, walked gracefully to the front of the crowd. The smile on his face was 30% nonchalant, 30% mocking, and 30% cold.

Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently saw a familiar face. The smile in Zheng Li’s eyes deepened.

“Brother.” Zheng Yue turned around and called out with a smile.

“Second Brother didn’t go to school today?” Zheng Li raised his eyebrows slightly and asked gently.

“The teacher applied for leave for three days.” Zheng Yue explained respectfully, “Brother, some guests came to the residence today. This is Brother Shen. Not long ago, Brother Shen obtained first place in the provincial imperial examination. This is Sister-in-law Shen. She…”

“The owner of Spring Breeze Pavilion.” Before Zheng Yue could finish speaking, Zheng Yue suddenly smiled. However, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes when he looked at Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao did not like that kind of malicious gaze.

Shen Yao quietly shielded his wife behind him. His eyes darkened slightly as his cold gaze landed on Zheng Li’s face.

After a moment of silence, Zheng Li suddenly burst out laughing. “Since you’re not afraid of offending me, why did you step into the Zheng residence? What? Have you thought it through and want to apologize to me personally?”

Zheng Li was not a magnanimous person. On the contrary, he was vengeful.

When Ji Zhao had humiliated him in public, Zheng Li had already thought of a plan to deal with Spring Breeze Pavilion. In the end, before he could make a move, the other party had already come to apologize.

Zheng Li suddenly felt that it was quite boring.

“Eldest Young Master, do you usually like to read novels?” Ji Zhao suddenly opened her mouth and smiled. This Eldest Young Master Zheng’s imagination was quite wild.

Realizing that something was wrong, Zheng Li subconsciously narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Zhao even more ruthlessly. “What do you mean?”

“I’m not here to apologize to you. Besides…” Ji Zhao looked at Zheng Li and smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. “I don’t need to apologize to you. Or are you trying to bully me?”

“You have a glib tongue.” Zheng Li narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Don’t tell me you’re so naive to think that you can continue your business smoothly after offending me?”

If he wanted to deal with this woman, it would be easier than crushing an ant!

Moreover, this woman did not know what was good for her!

“What’s going on? Why are you all standing here?” Hearing the commotion, Madam Zheng immediately came to the garden and hurriedly asked, “What happened?”

Just as Zheng Li was about to speak, he heard Ji Zhao’s voice. “Madam Zheng, I’ve been threatened by the eldest young master of the residence. May I ask if you can make a decision?”

“What exactly happened?” Madam Zheng’s expression became more and more serious.

Fifteen minutes later, Zheng Li tried his best to suppress the unknown fire in his heart. His eyes darkened as he said, “I heard that Mother was anxious about Second Brother’s marriage, so I wanted to go to the Spring Breeze Pavilion and ask Manager Ji to make some steamed dumplings with mutton fillings so that Mother can be more at ease. I didn’t expect Manager Ji to have such an arrogant temper…”

“Eldest Young Master, are you going to slander me with empty words?” Ji Zhao could not help but laugh. “When the Spring Breeze Pavilion opened, I issued a notice that the Spring Breeze Pavilion would only accept banquets for more than two people and not sell individual dishes. Now, that notice is still posted outside the door! Or does Eldest Young Master think that you’re superior to others and can force others to buy and sell as you please?”

Ji Zhao did not like Zheng Li and was not afraid of offending him.

Madam Zheng frowned and glanced at Zheng Li. “Whether you’re from the Zheng family or not, you shouldn’t bully others.”

Zheng Li lowered his eyes and did not say anything, but his eyes were filled with sarcasm.

Although he was the eldest son of the Zheng family, he was the son of a concubine. He had long known that Madam Sun© could not stand him, but now was not the time to fall out with these people.
