I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating

For some reason, Ji Zhao suddenly heard a hint of loneliness in Shen Yao’s words.

Ji Zhao subconsciously held his hand and comforted him silently.

‘Shen Yao, after we’ve saved up enough money, let’s buy a house in the county city?” Ji Zhao sat on the embroidery stool and suggested with a smile as she threaded the needle. “This way, when you and Chenchen go to the county city to study, you’ll have a place to stay.”

‘Okay.” Shen Yao, who was copying the calligraphy, agreed happily.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly put down his brush and ink and turned to the bookshelf behind him. There were many books neatly placed on the simple bookshelf. There was not a single speck of dust on it.

Shen Yao raised his hand and took out a small red box from the bookshelf. Then, he handed it to Ji Zhao.

‘And this is?”

“When I was five years old, I often helped others copy books and received some remuneration. In addition, my parents would always give the three of us some pocket money. I received more than Eldest Brother and Second Brother. More importantly, Eldest Brother and Second Brother doted on me and often gave me some change. Over time, I saved it.’

‘That shouldn’t be much, right?” Ji Zhao, who was curious, took the wooden box with a smile. It was just as she had imagined— It was very light!

‘Before I got married, I counted it. It’s not much. There’s a total of 156 taels.

Seeing the shock in her eyes, Shen Yao smiled silently.

‘That much?” Ji Zhao really did not expect Shen Yao to be a hidden tycoon.

1,56 taels! If this was in the modern world, it would be about 1,560,000 million!

After all a copper coin from this period could unleash its greatest value!

“I didn’t expect there to be so much either.” Shen Yao took the opportunity to sit beside her and explained softly, “Later, I asked Mother to send those scattered copper coins and silver to the bank in exchange for banknotes of a hundred and fifty taels.”

In fact, when Ji Zhao married into the Shen family, Shen Yao was prepared to hand these over to her for safekeeping. After all, according to the Shen family’s rules, it was only right for the wife to manage the money.

However, he did not expect what happened after that. He had also forgotten the silver in this box. If Ah Tao had not suddenly mentioned saving money to buy a house just now, Shen Yao would not have remembered that there was some money in this ordinary-looking box.

‘So now, you want to give me all this money?” After opening the wooden box and seeing the banknotes and silver pieces inside, Ji Zhao smiled and could not help but tease, ‘Shen Yao, aren’t you afraid?”

‘Afraid of what?” Shen Yao asked in confusion.

“1f I really take this money and leave secretly, you... Hmm...”

Before Ji Zhao could finish her sentence, there was no chance!

Because Shen Yao had forcefully sealed her lips!

Unlike the spring breeze and drizzle in the past, Shen Yao was domineering at this moment—

Ji Zhao could even feel his domineering possessiveness and the urge to tear her apart and crush her into his body...

‘Shen Yao... I can’t breathe... It hurts...” Ji Zhao used all her strength and pressed her hands tightly against his strong chest before she could barely speak.

‘Ah Tao.” Shen Yao’s fingers combed through her black hair. His deep voice was still filled with desire. “Don’t say things like leaving again, okay?”

When he heard her say the word ‘leave’ just now, a terrifying thought suddenly arose in Shen Yao’s heart. He wanted to lock Ah Tao by his side and never let her go!

It was only when that stubborn obsession appeared in his mind that he became so domineering. He even bit her lips just now.

Ji Zhao had only pushed him away when she felt the pain.

‘Okay.” Ji Zhao accidentally caught a glimpse of the redness in his eyes. She was a little frightened, but more than that, she was worried.

She kept feeling that the Shen Yao just now was not like Shen Yao.

‘Ah Tao, does it hurt a lot?” Shen Yao closed his eyes weakly. When he opened them again, his eyes were already clear. When his gaze landed on Ji Zhao’s bright and moist lips, he could not help but feel guilty.

’11t doesn’t hurt anymore.” Ji Zhao shook her head obediently. She thought for a moment and gently gestured with the thumb and index finger of her right hand. ‘Just now, it only hurt a little. Just a little.’

Seeing how obedient she was, the guilt in Shen Yao’s heart deepened.

‘Shen Yao, I’m a little sleepy.” Looking at the dazed Shen Yao, Ji Zhao tugged at his sleeve worriedly and frowned slightly. “Can you sleep with me?” Faced with her innocent smile, Shen Yao could not reject her.

‘Okay.”

It was dusk, and the sun was setting.

Ji Zhao, who was lying on the soft bed, snuggled tightly in Shen Yao’s arms. Soon, she let out a faint snore, but Shen Yao, who was outside, felt powerless and could not calm down.

He was too rash just now.

In fact, not only did he scare Ah Tao, but he also scared himself.

The moment he closed his eyes, he could hear the cold wind whistling past his ears. In front of him was a mountain of bones, and he was sitting in the middle of a pile of bones. No matter how he struggled, he could not move. What was even more terrifying was that he was holding a sharp dagger in his hand. However, the blade of the dagger was filled with blood. Dark red blood stained the ground along the blade of the sword, splashing out blood lotuses one after another.

Those people were all killed by him!

He was trying to protect himself. If he didn’t kill them, they would kill him in turn—

Just as Shen Yao felt his head splitting in pain, he heard a sentence— ‘Shen Yao, I won’t leave. If you don’t leave me, I won’t abandon you.’ ‘If you don’t leave me, I won’t abandon you.’

When he heard these words clearly, Shen Yao’s mood miraculously calmed down.

Gradually, his heart calmed down.

Accompanied by the familiar faint snoring, he also felt sleepy and fell asleep unknowingly.

About an hour later, Ji Zhao, who had been taking a short nap, woke up.

Looking at the sky outside the window, it was probably past nine o’clock.

Ji Zhao carefully got off the bed and tiptoed into the kitchen.

At that moment, Zhao Lanhua was kneading dough in the kitchen. When she heard the familiar footsteps, she chuckled and said, ‘There’s soup left in the pot for you. Why don’t you have a bowl first?”

‘Alright,” Ji Zhao agreed with a smile. “Thank you, Mother!”

‘During dinner, I wanted to ask and Third Brother to eat, but before I could knock on the door, I heard the two of you snoring.” Zhao Lanhua sighed softly. She looked at Ji Zhao with heartache and helplessness. “Child, you’re just too good-tempered. Didn’t Mother already remind you earlier? You can’t always listen to Third Brother when it comes to sex...”

‘Cough cough... Mother!” Ji Zhao, who was drinking soup, choked..
