In this way, the son-in-law’s opinion of you will surely undergo a significant change.

“Haha, I’ve already mentioned how fortunate our Zhenzhen is. When the time comes…”

Ms. Yang was about to continue, but Qin Shan pulled at her clothes.

“Let’s eat. We can discuss this later.”

Ms. Yang noticed her mother-in-law’s lack of enthusiasm and decided not to continue.

However, she found it quite peculiar. Her mother-in-law had never meddled in her children’s marriages before.

Her mother-in-law had no objections to Zhenzhen marrying her son-in-law.

There was no customary rule in their family against talking during meals.

So why was she unhappy?

Everyone noticed Grandma’s displeased expression.

Consequently, everyone ceased their conversation.

After dinner, Grandma Qin suddenly summoned Qin Zhenzhen to her room.

Qin Zhenzhen didn’t ponder much on it. Whatever happens, she would face her grandma’s scolding, at most.

Regardless, when the original host was reading the book, it was because she hadn’t placed it in the box. It wasn’t a banned book, so taking a glance wouldn’t constitute a serious offense, right?

Grandma Qin deviated from her usual seating position and instructed Qin Zhenzhen, “Close the door!”

Qin Zhenzhen shut the door.

Grandma Qin’s room was expansive and profound. They conversed from behind the door, ensuring their conversation remained unheard by anyone outside.

“Who are you?”

Qin Zhenzhen was momentarily taken aback by her grandma’s sudden question. She replied, “Grandma, are you joking? It’s me, Zhenzhen! Who else could it be?”

“You may deceive others, but you can’t deceive me!”

Once again, Qin Zhenzhen was shocked.

It was said that blind individuals possessed the keenest sense of smell, but she had only undergone a soul switch, while her body remained the same. How could her grandma detect it?

“I’m unsure why you’ve suddenly made such a remark, Grandma. Could it be that the fish soup I prepared for the first time was so delectable that it raised suspicions of me being someone else?”

She truly desired to explain that her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law were not visually impaired. How could they fail to recognize her if she were a different person?

However, considering her grandma’s blindness, it was inconvenient to mention such things.

Therefore, she shifted her approach to validate herself.

“Grandma, have you ever heard that culinary prowess stems from innate talent?”

“I believe that’s the case for me.”

“I never cooked while I lived in my mother’s house, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t studied the art of cooking. In fact, I quite enjoy reading books on the subject.”

“In the two months since I married into the Qian Village, I have personally prepared three meals a day. It was during this time that I discovered my exceptional talent for cooking. The dishes I prepare are particularly mouthwatering.”

Nevertheless, Grandma Qin gazed at Qin Zhenzhen with eyes that held no sight.

“To achieve such a mastery in cooking fish soup, it would require at least a decade of dedicated effort!”

“Furthermore, there is a distinct aroma lingering around you. Although it’s subtle, it doesn’t escape my sense of smell!”

In other words, the original host never possessed such a fragrance before.

Qin Zhenzhen had an epiphany.

It seemed that grandma had detected the scent of the spiritual water!

Combining her culinary skills with this revelation, Grandma deduced that she wasn’t the original Qin Zhenzhen.

Her grandma’s sense of smell was truly extraordinary!

Qin Zhenzhen had no intention of admitting her reincarnation or confessing about the spiritual water on her finger.

She chuckled. “Grandma, you have such a delightful sense of humor. Do I really have a distinctive fragrance? I can’t seem to detect it myself.”

“By the way, my mother mentioned that after getting married, women gradually acquire a more feminine essence. Perhaps the fragrance you perceive is that of a woman.”
