Transmigrated As A Delicate Bundle Of Luck For A Farming Family Chapter 385 - Mother-in-law's Detection

Chapter 385: Mother-in-law’s Detection
After knowing so much news, Madam Zhao felt even calmer.
She wasn’t so hesitant about meeting Qi Xingzhi tomorrow.
Madam Zhao was calm, and the family was relieved.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao returned to their rooms, and Su Hua returned to his room.!!
Su Xiaolu and Su Chong practiced their swordsmanship.
No one went out today.
Su Xiaoling wanted to go out to buy groceries, so Zhou Heng went out to buy groceries with her.
“Boss, kill a chicken for me.”
Zhou Wenjing carried the basket and turned to look at Su Xiaoling with a smile. “Miss, it’s you. What a coincidence. We meet again.”
Su Xiaoling smiled. “Hello, Auntie.”
Zhou Wenjing smiled and asked naturally, “What did you buy today?”
Su Xiaoling smiled and said, “Some pork ribs and meat, cucumbers, cabbages, and bean sprouts.”
They were all normal ingredients
Zhou Wenjing smiled and asked, “Then what do you plan on cooking? Cooking every day is worrisome. My husband has a tricky appetite. I’m worried about what I should cook every day.”
Zhou Wenjing was easy-going. Su Xiaoling smiled and said, “Sweet and sour pork ribs. Chop some minced meat and bean sprouts to make meatballs. Make braised chicken and boil a pot of clear cabbage soup. That’s all.”
Home-cooked dishes were very common in every family. The dishes Su Xiaoling mentioned were not rare. They were all dishes that ordinary people could see at home.
Zhou Wenjing smiled. “That sounds good. Then I’ll learn from you.”
Zhou Wenjing asked Su Xiaoling how she made these dishes, and she shared her cooking with Su Xiaoling.
After the chicken was killed, Zhou Wenjing naturally said goodbye to Su Xiaoling. She also smiled gently at Zhou Heng.
Su Xiaoling went home with Zhou Heng.
On the way, Zhou Heng said to Su Xiaoling, “Xiaoling, if I don’t accompany you in the future, don’t talk to that woman when you buy groceries.”
Su Xiaoling was puzzled. “Why?”
She didn’t even know the person’s name. They had only met twice and exchanged a few words. Zhou Wenjing was very easygoing and didn’t make her feel uncomfortable.
She did not know why Zhou Heng suspected her.
Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaoling and explained to her, “That woman’s palms are delicate and she doesn’t look like someone who cooks. Her actions are too rigid and different from a real farmer’s wife. I don’t know why she approached you, so don’t talk to her when you go grocery shopping alone.”
Zhou Heng was worried that she was Zhou Zhi’s underling.
Su Xiaoling did not notice any of this, but she believed that Zhou Heng would not spout nonsense. She nodded. “Alright, I’ll be careful.”
They still had to stay in the capital for a long time. It was better to be careful.
There was more than one market. When she was alone, she would go to another market.
Su Xiaoling lowered her eyes and sighed as she looked at her feet.
After entering the capital, there were many unknown things, and there were many things to worry about. She had already begun to miss the carefree days of her childhood.
Unfortunately, they could not return to the past. All of them could only walk forward.

Zhou Wenjing left quickly after Su Xiaoling left.
After returning to the residence, she handed the basket to the maidservant and went to see Sun Yangxin, who was still lying weakly on the bed.
Upon seeing her, Sun Yangxin turned his face away.
Zhou Wenjing sat down by the bed with a calm expression and said indifferently, “Master, you’ve been eating too little for the past two days. It’s not good for your health.”
Sun Yangxin didn’t want to care. No one could eat after being imprisoned.
He had reported his illness in his own residence, and the entire residence had turned a blind eye to it.
The servants didn’t dare to say anything. Even if his mother knew, she would only acquiesce.
He couldn’t go out even if he wanted to, so how could he eat? He never expected Zhou Wenjing to be so ruthless.
Sun Yangxin didn’t say a word, but Zhou Wenjing didn’t mind. She said calmly, “Master, I met a lady who looks like Yan Mian these last two days. Given her age, it’s believable that she’s Yan Mian’s daughter.”
Sun Yangxin turned his head and gritted his teeth as he looked at Zhou Wenjing. “What are you trying to do? This has nothing to do with her. I was just mistaken.”
Zhou Wenjing looked at Sun Yangxin’s nervous expression and sneered. “Whether I will do something or not depends on whether you eat. Master’s body isn’t in good condition to begin with. If you aren’t in good health or lose weight, Mother-in-law will blame me.”
Zhou Wenjing did not hide her intention to threaten Sun Yangxin. Naturally, Madam Qin knew that she had used some tricks on Sun Yangxin. She also told Madam Qin her intentions. Although Madam Qin had objections to her actions, it was already done. Once was no different from thirty times. Madam Qin tacitly allowed her to do so.
However, if she hurt Sun Yangxin’s body because of this, Madam Qin would definitely be unhappy.
Since Zhou Wenjing wanted to do it, she wouldn’t let this matter pass.
What Sun Yangxin cared about was Yan Mian, who had been missing for 24 years. When she mentioned that Sun Yangxin had met her before and that Sun Yangxin had lost control of his reaction, Zhou Wenjing knew that Sun Yangxin would cooperate and eat well.
Sun Yangxin looked at Zhou Wenjing. From her decisive and ruthless expression, he knew that she was determined. He closed his eyes and said coldly, “She’s just an innocent woman. Don’t disturb her. I’m at your mercy now. I’ll eat as much as you want.”
Zhou Wenjing smiled and said gently, “I’m relieved to hear that. As long as you can do what you promised me, I won’t disturb that girl.”
“If there’s nothing else, go out. I don’t want to see you.”
Sun Yangxin said coldly.
Zhou Wenjing responded softly before getting up and leaving.
This method of provoking Sun Yangxin was effective, but she was also hurt.
Yan Mian, who had disappeared for 24 years, could occupy the most important position in Sun Yangxin’s heart. Right now, a woman who looked like Yan Mian could make Sun Yangxin care about her. However, she had accompanied him for more than 20 years. In the end, it was all for nothing.
Her heart ached and tears flowed uncontrollably. When she went out, her face was already covered in tears.
After leaving, Zhou Wenjing wiped her tears and instructed the servant, “Send some Gu soup to Master. He’s hungry.”
With that, Zhou Wenjing left.
She had to accompany Madam Qin every day to show her filial piety. She also wanted Madam Qin to have the same thoughts as her.
Madam Qin wanted the Sun family’s bloodline to continue. Therefore, Madam Qin tacitly allowed her to do this.
However, Sun Yangxin was still Madam Qin’s son. In order to avoid Madam Qin’s heartache, Zhou Wenjing still had to talk to Madam Qin every day.
Zhou Wenjing entered the courtyard and greeted Madam Qin. She said respectfully, “Mother-in-law, I’m here.”
Madam Qin raised her hand. “Get up. How is he today?”
Zhou Wenjing said softly, “Master is much better today. I just spoke to him and he was willing to eat.”
Madam Qin looked at Zhou Wenjing, then said lightly, “I remember that he met a little girl who was very similar to Yan Mian not long ago, right?”
