Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

"Auntie, you have no idea how unlucky I am. I thought I had met my soulmate, but it turns out he's a fraud. All that charming demeanor was an act, and even those vows of eternal love were fake."

"Not only was he two-timing me, but he also tried to spend my money. He always acted pitiful in front of me, trying to get me to spend money to buy him things. If I hadn't realized it early, I would have been completely fooled by now!"

Zhao Wan was filled with righteous indignation and began to criticize Song Wenqian at length.

After all, this incident was quite a shock to her. Before she knew the truth, she thought Song Wenqian was a person with lofty ambitions. It can be said that it shattered her worldview.

Looking back now, she must have been completely blinded by greed.

What kind of good man is a man who spends women's money all day long?

Zhao Wan had been frequently visiting Shen Qing's residence these past few days, so Shen's mother had become familiar with her.

Moreover, Zhao Wan is both cute and generous, and Shen's mother really likes her very much.

Hearing about Zhao Wan's plight, Shen's mother instinctively felt sympathy for her.

"That man is so ungrateful. He doesn't cherish such a good girl like you. He's fickle and spends your money. It's not a good match for him. Don't be sad. Knowing this in advance is a blessing for you. It's better than marrying him in a muddle."

"A girl as good as you will definitely meet someone better in the future. That man will be unlucky and get his comeuppance sooner or later."

Shen's mother held Zhao Wan's hand to comfort her. She felt sorry for Zhao Wan from the bottom of her heart, and she also cursed that scumbag from the bottom of her heart.

Just then, Shen Qing brought Xiao Kui into the house.

"What are you talking about? What karma?" Shen Qing laughed. "I cooked today, so let's eat together."

Shen Qing had overheard everything from outside, and her words were meant to make her mother repeat herself to reinforce the impression.

"Oh dear, you have no idea how unlucky Ah Wan is. She met a two-timing guy who even cheated her out of her money..."

Shen Qing raised an eyebrow. What a coincidence, she was playing both of them.

"So, in that case, we should stay far away from men like that, Mother, don't you agree?"

"Of course! Otherwise, she would have been completely devoured by this man sooner or later, leaving not even a bone fragment. Fortunately, Awan is smart and discovered it in time, and was able to cut ties with that man decisively. Her good fortune is yet to come!"

Mother Shen followed up, feeling a sense of relief in her heart.

Fortunately, Wenqian is reliable and devoted to Qing'er, doing whatever Qing'er says.

This person is chopping wood, fetching water, and collecting dew drop by drop, which shows their good character and genuine feelings.

"Auntie is right! I'm so lucky to get to eat Sister Shen's food again today!!" Zhao Wan was overjoyed, the aroma of the food kept wafting into her nose.

She couldn't stop drooling.

What's the point of discussing that scumbag? You might as well eat a few more bites of rice.

"Yes, yes, let's eat, let's eat quickly!" Mrs. Shen hurriedly said.

Shen Qing instructed Xiao Kui to set the food on the table.

The aroma of the meal filled the entire house; it was a simple home-cooked meal, a taste of home.

"Try it!" Shen Qing said with a smile.

Once everyone had started eating, Zhao Wan couldn't resist any longer. She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of scrambled eggs with scallions.

The eggs are incredibly tender, so tender you can melt them with your tongue. The scallions have a slight crunch, and with a gentle bite, your mouth is filled with the aroma of scallions.

There are no extra seasonings, just the natural aroma of eggs and scallions, plus the richness of lard, and only a touch of salt for flavor, yet it creates an extremely wonderful taste in the mouth.

"It smells so good! It smells amazing!"

"Sister Shen, how come you make even the simple scrambled eggs with scallions taste so delicious? It's simply unbelievable!"

"This is a hundred times better than the scrambled eggs my cook makes!"

Zhao Wan couldn't resist eating another piece; her eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Try something else."

Zhao Wan turned her gaze to the radish on the table.

When you put the radish in your mouth, it's extremely soft, so soft that you don't need to chew it at all, but there's still some chewiness in the softness, which is the backbone of the radish that hasn't been overcooked.

Mixed with the aroma of meat, after swallowing a mouthful, the sweet taste of the radish slowly emerges.

"Radishes! Radishes are delicious too!!"

Zhao Wan stuffed several more mouthfuls of radish into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out like a greedy little rabbit.

Shen Qing didn't need to say anything more; she ate her vegetables and then took a bite of rice mixed with lard.

The lard had completely melted in the hot rice, and the salty and savory flavor of the soy sauce had seeped into the rice.

The aromas of oil, soy sauce, and rice complement each other perfectly, making every bite flavorful.

Zhao Wan's eyes widened in surprise.

She didn't have time to say anything, she was busy eating and eating vegetables.

"Have some soup, don't choke." Shen Qing placed a bowl of vegetable and tofu soup in front of Zhao Wan at the right time.

The vegetable and tofu soup was very light, with only a faint hint of sesame oil wafting to the nose. The aroma of beans mixed with the sweetness of the vegetables. One sip and all the greasy taste in your mouth was gone.

"So comfortable~" Zhao Wan couldn't help but say.

While eating, Shen's mother also praised, "Qing'er's cooking skills are getting better and better. Every dish on this table is delicious."

"I wish I could have dinner with Sister Shen every day~"

Zhao Wan touched her round, bulging stomach and couldn't help but say something.

She used to be unable to eat this much, but today she ate a huge bowl of rice mixed with lard, which was unprecedented for her.

Indeed, no one can resist delicious food.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Come on, it won't make a difference if you bring your chopsticks."

"Really??" Zhao Wan stood up abruptly, her eyes lighting up.

"Of course you can."

Shen Qing nodded. She was aloof and didn't have many friends in modern times.

Now that I've met Zhao Wan, I feel a strange sense of affinity.

She was very willing to be friends with Zhao Wan.

"Ah—Sister Shen, you're so wonderful, I love you so much!"

"And Auntie, what have I done to deserve this opportunity to meet you both in this lifetime!"

Zhao Wan expressed her gratitude, and the thought of having delicious food to eat every day made her incredibly happy.

Just then, Old Chen, the gatekeeper, came in to report.

"Master, then..." He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Shen Qing immediately understood and asked, "Is it Song Wenqian?"

"Yes, Song Wenqian has come to visit."

"Let him in."

"It's the host's family."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wan's smile vanished, and she became sullen.

Shen Qingze remained indifferent.

Only Shen's mother was all smiles, looking very happy.

"Wenqian's here! Wenqian must have brought you water. That kid, I wonder how long he was up last night."

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.
