I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating

125 At Most, We’ll See The Truth in Court!

“You… Ah Tao! Aren’t you too heartless?” Madam Xie wiped her tears and cried. “If I hadn’t raised you, would you have grown to be so beautiful? Also, you fell seriously ill when you were five years old. If I hadn’t taken good care of you, you would have died long ago! Also, when you were eight years old, you almost fell into the river. If I hadn’t arrived in time, would you have been fine?”

“I know you resent Grandmother in your heart, but Ah Tao, you can’t do such an ungrateful thing! Even if… even if I’m not your biological grandmother, if we didn’t raise you, would you have such a life today? You… it’s fine if you don’t know how to be grateful, but you actually want to send me to the county jail?”

Ji Zhao looked expressionlessly at Madam Xie, whose face was covered in tears. She only felt that it was ridiculous and ironic.

“When I was five years old, the reason why I fell sick was because you forced me to chop firewood in the courtyard in the middle of the night! Don’t you know why I fell into the river when I was eight years old? You lost an argument with the neighboring grandma and had nowhere to vent your anger, so you kicked me into the river!” Ji Zhao sneered. “Ever since I can remember, this ‘grandmother’ of mine has done countless things to hurt me. Do you really think I’ve forgotten?”

!!

The Host hated Madam Xie to the core!

If not for the fact that the Ji family’s grandfather truly doted on the Host, the Host would have done something illegal long ago.

Madam Xie pretended to be a kind grandmother outside, but in fact, she was like a poisonous scorpion. She would beat the Host all the time! Most of the injuries on the Host’s body were caused by Madam Xie!

Shen Yao, who was standing at the side and listening to everything, felt his heart ache unknowingly.

He never knew that Ah Tao had suffered so much when she was young.

“Village Chief Ji, let’s get back to business,” Ji Zhao said expressionlessly with a straight face. “As long as Ji Huai is willing to write an IOU and mortgage the Ji family’s residence and land to me, I will definitely fork out three hundred taels. Otherwise, there’s no need to talk about it!”

“Ah Tao, you and Ji Huai were already engaged…”

“I don’t know why you guys suddenly insist that Ji Huai and I arewerealready engaged. In short, I’m already married to Shen Yao, so I’m a member of the Shen family in Shanghe Village! I, Ji Ah Tao, am upright. If Village Chief Ji insists on arguing this matter, let’s meet in court!”

She had never been a coward.

She would not be afraid when she encountered problems.

At most, they would fight in court!

Ji Shi did not expect Ji Zhao’s attitude to take a 180-degree turn and immediately panicked.

Cough cough—

Shen Menghu, the village chief of Shanghe Village, who had been silent all this while, pretended to cough twice. Then, he slowly said, “Shen Yao’s wife is right. The villagers of Shanghe Village have always been united. No matter who Ji Ah Tao was engaged to in the past, now that she has married into Shanghe Village and become our daughter-in-law, others have no right to take her away.”

“But Ji Ah Tao…”

“Old Ji, a few days ago, the advisor in the county said that some imperial envoys will come to Dingyuan County and the surrounding villages to investigate the drought. If Pomegranate Village is found to have sold children during the drought, do you think you can bear the consequences?”

“This…” Ji Shi did not expect this.
