It was already early autumn, and the weather in Yunchuan Prefecture City was getting cooler.

However, this was also the most drying time for the lungs, so Ji Zhao decided to make some sweet snow fungus soup with pear and some pumpkin cakes.

First Madam Qin liked sweet pastries, so Ji Zhao planned to make a different type of pumpkin cake.

The pumpkin cake with bean paste filling would bring double the sweetness to one’s taste buds.

Halfway through the afternoon, First Madam Qin was checking the accounts in the residence.

“I’ve asked. Before Madam Liu was divorced, there were many precious items missing from the warehouse.” Nanny Wu hurriedly walked in front of First Madam Qin and frowned. “1 roughly estimated that there were at least three thousand taels lost in the public warehouse.”

…..

“Three thousand taels?” Hearing this number, First Madam Qin was a little surprised. Then, she couldn’t help but sneer. “How dare she have designs on the public treasury.” “What do you plan to do?” Nanny Wu asked softly. “Now that Madam Liu has been divorced, 1 heard that the divorce letter written by Second Master has been torn apart by Madam Liu. Moreover, the Liu family also said that Madam Liu is mentally disoriented. If Second Master sends the divorce letter over again, he will become enemies with the Liu family.”

“It’s fine.” First Madam Qin smiled indifferently. “I’m not dead yet. The accounts in the public treasury have such a huge hole. Someone has to fill them in! Madam Liu still cares about Mingyao. Since she caused a debt in the public treasury, let’s reduce the expenses of Youran Residence!”

She was not a kind person. Since Madam Liu had the audacity to empty the public treasury, she would let her son repay her!

Youran Residence.

Knowing that his expenses had been reduced by more than half, Qin Mingyao was furious!

In his frustration, he smashed an entire set of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone!

Ever since Qin Minghong returned, everything had been going wrong for him!

His mother was right. Qin Minghong was an annoying bug! Only by crushing this bug could he live a good life!

An hour later.

First Madam Qin put down the bowl and spoon in satisfaction. The way she looked at Ji Zhao became gentler. “Your culinary skills are really amazing. This Snow Fungus Soup with Pear is not bad.”

“If Madam likes it, I’ll leave this recipe to Nanny Wu later. This way, if Madam wants to drink it, she can drink it.” Ji Zhao smiled and said gently.

“Alright.” First Madam Qin smiled brightly and nodded. “I’ll listen to you.”

“Madam, can you tell me about the Zheng family?” Ji Zhao looked into her eyes, her tone becoming more and more sincere.

“The Zheng family?” First Madam Qin was extremely puzzled. “Why is All Tao suddenly asking about the Zheng family?”

“I might have offended the eldest son of the Zheng family.” Ji Zhao shrugged helplessly and smiled.

“Oh?”

A moment later, First Madam Qin frowned and her eyes darkened.

“The eldest son of the Zheng family you saw was actually not given birth to by Madam Zheng.” First Madam Qin personally poured a cup of flower tea for Ji Zhao and sighed softly. “The eldest son of the Zheng family was born by Governor Zheng’s bedfellow. However, about nine years ago, when Madam Zheng gave birth to Miss Zheng, that bedfellow also died of illness.”

“Although Official Zheng is an official, he can’t handle family matters well. However, the eldest son of the Zheng family is indeed quite capable. He’s good at business and within seven years, he’s already bought a street of businesses.”

Although First Madam Qin had only introduced the Zheng family in a few words, Ji Zhao could still hear the deeper meaning hidden in her words. For example, Young Master Zheng’s biological mother died when Madam Zheng gave birth. These words might contain other deeper meanings.

“But you don’t have to worry too much.” First Madam Qin looked at Ji Zhao’s thoughtful expression and quickly comforted him. “Come with me to the Zheng residence tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.” Ji Zhao nodded obediently.

September 28th was a beautiful and sunny day.

Ji Zhao went into the kitchen early in the morning and made several types of breakfast.

Steamed dumplings stuffed with mutton and scallions, mutton soup with cilantro, and mutton wraps.

She thought that since she was going to visit Madam Zheng, she naturally had to cater to her tastes.

She made some soft and sweet egg cakes. She only used eggs and sugar, not even a drop of water was added.

After First Madam Qin tasted a piece of egg cake, she was full of praise.

“That girl Rongrong also likes sweet food. She will definitely like it.”

Ji Zhao, who was leaning against the carriage, smiled and asked, “Madam, that day, 1 saw Rongrong’s face.”

“You also think Rongrong’s face is ugly?” Chen Fangrong subconsciously looked up and sized up Ji Zhao’s expression. However, she did not see any disgust or disdain on her face.

Ji Zhao shook her head. “It’s impolite to judge a person’s beauty and ugliness based on their appearance alone. Moreover, Rongrong’s eyes are very clear. She’s a good child with a kind heart.”

Hearing this, First Madam Qin couldn’t help but laugh. However, she couldn’t help but hold Ji Zhao’s hand and gently pat it twice. “You little girl, you’re only a few years older than Rongrong. Why do you sound so mature?”

Ji Zhao almost forgot that she was only seventeen years old in this world.

She was only eight years older than Zheng Rongrong.

“Although Rongrong was born with rabbit lips, she’s indeed a good child with a kind heart.” First Madam Qin couldn’t help but sigh. “Madam Zheng is also a person with a bitter life. She married Governor Zheng after his first wife died and gave birth to a pair of children. Unfortunately, these two children’s looks…”

“Second Young Master Zheng also has a harelip?”

First Madam Qin shook her head gently. “Zheng Yue doesn’t have hare lips. It’s just that he has face full of marks since he was young. Because of this, his marriage has always been very difficult.”

Only then did Ji Zhao understand. “Logically speaking, the Fang family’s status is much lower than the Zheng family’s. Miss Fang shouldn’t be able to marry into the Zheng family. That day, the Fang family held a banquet at the Spring Breeze Pavilion and invited you to be a matchmaker. If Miss Fang didn’t have a husband she likes, this marriage probably would have been arranged?”

“That’s right.” First Madam Qin smiled and nodded. She looked at Ji Zhao with admiration. “Ah Tao, you’re quite smart to be able to see the essence of this matter.”

“No wonder Madam Zheng was furious that day. She must have thought that Miss Fang liked Second Young Master Zheng?”

However, Miss Fang had already secretly fallen in love with Eldest Young Master Zheng. That was why Madam Zheng was so angry when she said that the person she wanted to marry was Eldest Young Master Zheng?

Ji Zhao suddenly thought of what Zheng Rongrong had said that day. The bumps on Second Young Master Zheng’s face seemed to have been drawn on himself?

Just as Ji Zhao was lost in her thoughts, the carriage stopped.

Madam Zheng was waiting outside the door and personally welcomed them.

“Although the weather is much cooler now, the sun in the morning is still a little vicious. Why are you waiting here?” After First Madam Qin got out of the carriage, she smiled at Madam Zheng.

“I’m happy that you’re here.” Madam Zheng smiled happily and said, “Let’s go to the reception hall. 1’11 get the Nanny to make your favorite osmanthus cake..”
