Hearing this, Ji Zhao smiled sweetly. “Since you like it, eat more. Don’t stand on ceremony—”

“Okay.” Shen Yao nodded gently, his usually cold eyes filled with tenderness.

As Ji Zhao had expected, the Sauced Duck received unanimous praise from everyone in the Shen family.

Later on, Shen Yao accompanied Ji Zhao out of the door and came to the Earth Temple again.

The Qin family’s guards only spent half a day to successfully dig a two-meter-long tunnel. The Qin family’s guards were very surprised that things could progress so smoothly.

“Brother Qin Yong, why don’t you guys take a break first?” Ji Zhao pointed at the food box in her hand and said with a smile, “l made some food. Try it while it’s hot?”

“This?” The leader of the guards, Qin Yong, hurriedly shook his head and said, “Third Madam Shen, thank you for your kind intentions. It’s just that us brothers can just eat some dry food. You really don’t have to be so polite! ”

“Brother Qin Yong, don’t decline,” Shen Yao hurriedly said. “Brothers, you’ve worked hard. Why don’t you rest first?”

Qin Yong originally wanted to refuse, but for some reason, when he met Shen Yao’s smiling eyes, he actually felt a powerful aura. The pressure made him unable to refuse.

Ji Zhao took out the dishes from the food box and placed them on the table at the side. She said humbly, “Everyone must be hungry, right? Sit down and eat, okay?”

“Isn’t this too fragrant?”

“Third Madam Shen, the dishes you made smell too good.” Qin Yong couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He looked at Ji Zhao with admiration. “I’ve long heard that your culinary skills are extraordinary, but I never thought that one day, I would actually be able to taste your cooking!’

“Brother Qin Yong, try it quickly?”

In less than 15 minutes, the four dishes and one soup were swept clean!

“Brother Qin Yong, did you dig the tunnel smoothly today?” Ji Zhao asked with a chuckle.

“Third Madam, I was about to tell you about this!’ Qin Yong said excitedly. “You might not know, but the reason why we were able to dig the secret passage so smoothly this afternoon was because a ‘friend’ came to help!’

Qin Yong thought for a moment and collected all the duck bones that his brothers had eaten. Then, he turned around and walked to the entrance of the secret passage. “Friends, come out and eat!’

After a while, a rustling sound came from the entrance of the secret passage—

A few gray and round little field mice stuck their heads out, then picked up the duck bones and started chewing…

“Today, it’s really all thanks to these vole brothers helping to open up a path in front. That’s why my brothers and I were able to successfully dig a portion of the secret passage. I think if we have their help next, we might be able to complete this mission in advance.”

“Brother Qin Yong, you’ve worked hard during this period of time,” Ji Zhao said gratefully from the bottom of her heart. “From tomorrow onwards, we will send three meals a day to the Earth Temple. You must remember to eat. After all, you won’t have the strength to work if you don’t eat your fill!”

Ji Zhao gave Qin Yong a few more instructions before going home with Shen Yao.

The two of them walked side by side, stepping on the hazy moonlight as they walked towards the Shen family’s courtyard.

“You insisted that Mother think of a way to get Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law to leave the courtyard, and then asked Mother to think of a way to transfer all the valuables in the house to Grandfather’s house.” Shen Yao scratched her palm and asked softly, “Ah Tao, in your nightmare, will something happen to the Shen family’s courtyard?’

Ji Zhao shrugged helplessly.

Although she did not answer this question directly, Shen Yao still understood.

Ah Tao insisted on creating the secret passage and thought of ways to get everyone in the Shen family’s courtyard to leave for a while. He thought that the content of Ah Tao’s nightmare must be related to the Shen family’s courtyard.

“I’ve already done everything I can think of.” Ji Zhao’s tone suddenly sounded a little disappointed. “So I can only leave it to fate now. ‘

Fortunately, the heavens had blessed her with the protection of the Earth God, giving her the ability to warn her of danger. However, some dangers could not be avoided, so she really did not know what to do next.

Shen Yao held her right hand tightly and looked into her eyes as he said firmly, “I believe that humans can conquer the heavens.”

“Yes.” Looking into his eyes, Ji Zhao felt her courage increase. In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of the second month.

Zhao Lanhua looked at the empty room in a daze.

Until Ji Zhao walked in and called out, “Mother?”

“Ah Tao?” Zhao Lanhua turned around and said with a smile, “I’m done packing. I’ll set off for the Tian Family Village in a while. But Ah Tao, are you and Third Brother really staying?”

Zhao Lanhua felt uneasy. “Ah Tao, why don’t you leave with Mother?”

“Mother, don’t worry about us.” Ji Zhao hurriedly smiled and comforted her.

“You also know that my luck has always been very good, so I’ll be fine!” “But…”

“Mother, Grandfather and Father are still waiting for you outside!’ Ji Zhao smiled and changed the topic.

“Ah Yao, I don’t seem so afraid anymore.”

When only she and Shen Yao were left in the huge courtyard, Ji Zhao made a pot of tea and brought it into the room. She smiled brightly, her dimples appearing.

Shen Yao, who was copying the calligraphy, immediately put down the brush in his hand and looked up with a smile. “Ah Tao.”

“Try the tea I just made.” Ji Zhao smiled and poured a cup of tea for him. “I also made some sesame cake. Drinking it with this tea should be good. Try it quickly?”

“Okay.”

The fragrance of the tea was strong, and the taste of the tea was very exquisite.

The combination of the two of them indeed had a different feeling.

“Ah Tao, why don’t you try it?”

“Ah Yao…” Ji Zhao rubbed the space between her eyebrows tiredly. “l seem to be a little sleepy.”

Shen Yao hurriedly came to her side and lent her his shoulder to lean on.

After a while, Ji Zhao fell asleep.

Shen Yao hurriedly carried her bridal style in his arms and slowly walked towards the bed—

At midnight, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed in the silent night sky!

BANG!

Several sneaky figures appeared outside the Shen family’s courtyard.

Those people deliberately lightened their footsteps and poured the kerosene that they had prepared in advance around the courtyard wall. In the end, they threw the matchsticks up—

After a while, the fire surged and the flames soared into the sky!

At this moment, Ji Zhao, who was still asleep, was also woken up by the thick smoke!

“Shen Yao? Shen Yao? Where are you?” Ji Zhao hurriedly got off the bed and staggered!

“Shen Yao?”

However, she did not hear Shen Yao’s response after shouting for a long time.

An ominous feeling swept through Ji Zhao’s heart…

“Shen Yao? Where are you?” “Ah Tao, don’t come over!”
