Hearing this, Ji Zhao was a little curious. “Kitchen?”

‘Mm.” Shen Yao smiled and led her to the kitchen.

The kitchen was not too big, but it had a hot and cold stove. Moreover, the pots and pans were neatly placed on the shelves in the north side. It was simple and clean.

The moment she stepped into the kitchen, Ji Zhao felt a breeze on her face.

“It seems to be exceptionally cool inside?”

“Zhaozhao, look.” Following Shen Yao’s finger, Ji Zhao noticed that there was a window on the southern wall. The window was not big, but the light was very bright. More importantly, the wind that blew in through the window was exceptionally cool.

“Follow me.” Shen Yao brought her to the window and slowly squatted down. He pointed at a rice jar that was half the height of a person in the corner and smiled without saying anything.

“Icehouse?’ Ji Zhao immediately pointed out the mystery hidden in this kitchen. “There’s actually an icehouse in this kitchen?”

“Yes.” Shen Yao did not expect her to guess it so quickly. “Actually, I’ve seen a few other houses before, but this is the one I like the most. I heard that the previous owner was a merchant from the north and was most afraid of heat, so they got someone to dig an icehouse under the kitchen. Firstly, it’s to store vegetables, and secondly, it’s to lower the temperature.”

“Shen Yao, this courtyard is really good.” Ji Zhao also expressed her liking for this courtyard. However, she thought for a moment and said, “l still have some money on hand. Let’s buy your paintings back, okay?”

“Silly girl, every painting that is drawn is for people to admire.” Shen Yao smiled and rubbed her head as he explained in a low voice.

“Then don’t be like this in the future, okay?” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and said with a serious gaze, “In my eyes, your paintings are worth thousands of gold. So in the future, you’re not allowed to sell paintings without my permission.”

“I’ll follow your instructions!” Shen Yao nodded gently. Then, he leaned behind her ear and said in a low voice, “Wife, I’m a little hungry.’

‘What do you want to eat?” Ji Zhao couldn’t help but shrink her neck and smile.

“I like all the delicacies made by my wife.’

“Go start the fire. I’ll cook.” Ji Zhao crawled out of his arms and said with a smile.

“Okay!’

Compared to Ji Zhao and her husband’s warm small courtyard, the Qin Residence could be said to be in chaos.

Qin Chen didn’t expect Madam Liu, who had shared a bed with him for more than 20 years, to be so vicious!

“If Sister-in-law hadn’t placed the evidence in front of me, I would never have believed that you would secretly use so many methods to deal with Minghong.” Qin Chen looked at Liu Piaoxue, who was kneeling silently in the hall, with a pained expression, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation. “Old Master, you trust Chen Fangrong’s words that much?” Madam Liu, who was furious, acted aggrieved. “Ever since I married into the Qin family, I’ve been taking care of my husband and the children. I’ve never said a word of complaint. But now, just based on Eldest Sister-in-law’s one-sided words, Master has determined that I’m the vicious stepmother? If I want to harm

Minghong, does Master think Minghong can still grow up healthily?”

“After we got married, you were focused on working hard in the bureaucracy. When did you care about the matters of the Inner Residence? There are many servants in this family, and every single matter has to be calculated carefully. Did you care if I was tired? Now, you want to sentence me to death with just a menu! Although Minghong is not my biological son, he has been raised by me

since he was young. Could it be that in Old Master’s eyes, I am so vicious?”

“You…” Qin Chen had never seen Madam Liu so sharp-tongued. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

On the other hand, First Madam Qin, who had been sitting at the side and listening, could not help but laugh.

“Second Brother, do you still remember what you said to your eldest brother when you knelt in front of him in order to marry Madam Liu?” Madam Qin slowly looked up, her eyes filled with helplessness. “You know very well why Minghong’s biological mother passed away not long after giving birth. You always thought that Minghong’s mother came from a merchant family and didn’t know poetry and songs. She couldn’t get along with you. Unlike Madam Liu, who was gentle, refined, educated, and reasonable, but now? Do you still think that Madam Liu is really a good person in your heart?”

“Chen Fangrong, shut up!” Madam Liu reprimanded angrily, “Don’t think I don’t know that you’re the one who instigated all of this. If you want to take back your power, just take it. Why did you set me up? Are you only satisfied after you ruin our husband and wife relationship?”

“Or could it be that you’re a widow and can ‘t stand seeing other couples getting along?!’ Pall!

Unexpectedly, the moment she finished speaking, Qin Chen gave her a loud slap!

“You… you actually hit me because of her?” Madam Liu was furious and cried hysterically, “I’ve long suspected that there was an unclear relationship between the two of you. What, did I expose you? Are you angry from embarrassment?”

“If you don’t know how to speak, then there is no need for this tongue.” First Madam Qin slowly raised her eyes. Her cold gaze was filled with killing intent. That gaze made people tremble in fear.

Madam Liu was also stunned by that fierce gaze.

“On account of the fact that you gave birth to Mingyao for the Qin family, I can pretend that I didn’t hear what you said just now. If you dare to spout nonsense again, don’t blame me for pulling out your tongue.”

“Second Brother, it’s not the first time that Madam Liu wants to harm

Minghong’s life.” First Madam Qin slowly stood up and said indifferently, “Logically speaking, this is your family’s matter. As your sister-in-law, I shouldn’t ask too much, but don’t forget the oath you made in front of your eldest brother!”

“As the saying goes, if you marry an unvirtuous wife, you will bring disaster to the three generations.”

After saying this, First Madam Qin left Zhaohui Hall.

At that moment, Qin Chen was already covered in cold sweat. How could he forget the oath he had once sworn in front of his elder brother?

The reason why he could go from being a beggar to being called Lord Qin by others was because his surname was Qin.

Although Eldest Brother had been missing for many years, his sister-in-law was not a fool.

If the Qin family really collapsed in his hands, then his death was not worth pitying.

“Madam Liu, this is the end of our relationship as husband and wife.” After some consideration, he decided to divorce his wife.

“No! Qin Chen, I won’t agree!” Madam Liu cried hysterically. “1 don’t want to! You can’t do this!”

“I’ve already made up my mind.” He looked at her calmly, and his tone was extremely indifferent. “From the moment you couldn’t tolerate Minghong, you should have known that sooner or later, we would cut ties. ‘

“No… I don’t want to…”

Qin Chen ignored the hysterical Madam Liu and turned to leave Zhaohui Hall.

Pangui Hall.

Upon hearing the news of Qin Chen’s divorce, Madam Qin’s expression was as calm as ever.

Nanny Wu, who was grinding ink, sighed softly, “Madam Liu really brought this upon herself…”

“Most people in the world are people who don’t get up early without benefits. Even Second Brother is no exception,” First Madam Qin said indifferently. “If he still wants to have the surname Qin, he naturally has to cut the Gordian knot and settle these things as soon as possible.”

“Madam, if Young Master Minghong finds out about his background—”

“It’s fine.” Madam Qin smiled indifferently. “Minghong is smart, much smarter than his father..’
