After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

Madam Gao glanced at her friend and said quietly, "Anyway, it won't harm you or me!" The implication was that there was no need to worry too much.

Madam Qian was taken aback, then suddenly laughed and said, "That's true! I was being too attached to appearances."

The two looked at each other, clearly understanding each other's thoughts, smiled slightly, and turned their gaze to the girls laughing and playing nearby. Some things don't need to be said; it's a tacit understanding unique to them.

Lin Hao was unaware of the conversation between the two women, and thus had no idea that she had now made a formidable impression on others. Right now, she was smiling and talking to the county magistrate's wife.

Faced with the magistrate's wife's praise, Lin Hao felt no shame at all. She smiled slightly, barely suppressing her happiness: "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that I put in the effort. I didn't even make the food!"

But in my heart, I was screaming: Nobody else has this kind of ambition! Those with more free time than me aren't as rich, and those richer than me don't have the time or inclination for this. I'm just too awesome! Hahaha…

The magistrate's wife seemed to hear her thoughts and shook her head slightly, saying, "The making of glass has been around for quite some time, but it was you who came up with this idea, which is enough to prove that you are dedicated."

Lin Hao's smile grew even brighter, and he explained to the magistrate's wife the whole story of how he had made this happen, adding at the end, "It's all thanks to our Yu-ge'er!"

The magistrate's wife noticed that when the little bun was mentioned, Lin Hao's eyes brightened and the corners of her mouth curved wider.

It seems the rumors were true; Lin, the second wife, really does treat Gu Yu, her stepson, like her own son, and they have a very good relationship!

Realizing this, the magistrate's wife became even more wary of Gu Liunian. To make his second wife act this way, this man's methods were indeed not to be underestimated!

Lin Hao had no idea what the other person was thinking. If she did, she would definitely shout that she was innocent: "You're overthinking it! It's not because of that man. Who would like someone else's child because of a man? I just like the little bun because I think it's cute!"

Unfortunately, Lin Hao lacked the ability to hear others' thoughts! Therefore, she could only leave the impression in the magistrate's wife's mind that she was clever but not shrewd enough and foolishly trusting of men.

And this misunderstanding was never resolved until Lin Hao and the others left!

"What do you think of this glass screen?" The magistrate's wife took a sip of tea. The tea was light and fragrant, with a sweet aftertaste. It was indeed a fine tea, she thought to herself.

"What do you mean, how do I look at it?" Lin Hao was completely confused. Wasn't this screen just placed here to be viewed? How else could it be viewed?

The magistrate's wife put down her teacup and looked quietly at the other person. There was indeed a look of confusion in the other person's eyes, which did not seem like a lie or something being hidden. On the contrary, it revealed a hint of... foolishness?

She was startled by her own thought. How could she use such a word to describe someone who could come up with a hot pot recipe and a glass screen? Was it because nothing had happened lately that she had let her guard down?

This won't do. She silently warned herself that she must be mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace and must not be careless just because things are stable for a while!

Of course, she didn't know that Lin Hao was not a scheming or studious person. He was only able to come up with those ideas because he had seen too much in the future and was just copying what he had seen!

If you really asked her to do something she had never done before, she couldn't guarantee how well she would do it.
