As a woman herself, Zhao Jun could of course see through his intentions early on.
But she didn't want to get involved in other people's feelings, so it was better to clarify it as soon as possible.
As expected, Xiao He immediately understood what she meant.
He successfully expressed his idea that he didn't want to have anything to do with Lu Jing.
Her meaning was so obvious, the other party should have seen it.
Of course Cheng Yu saw through it, so she felt relieved.
It’s okay as long as she doesn’t mean that. At least I still have a chance.
After these words, her resentment towards Zhao Jun was much less.
But the parties involved in the incident did not think so intentionally.
For some reason, she just disliked Zhao Jun.
From what she heard, what Zhao Jun meant just now was that he wanted to keep Lu Jing in suspense. He was not a good person and was greedy for more.
Cheng Yu was sitting in the front and couldn't see her sister's expression.
Cheng Xin's face was already very dark at this time, and he was about to be unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
Lu Jing, who was also standing among the people, heard what Zhao Jun said.
But of course he didn't understand.
"Thank you so much for your kindness, sir. This is what I should do. I promise to cooperate with you during your stay in Shu County and will not delay your return to the city on time."
Lu Jing smiled innocently.
Chengxin became even angrier.
This is what it means to pursue someone even though you know they will leave in the end.
Cheng Xin, who had been silent until now, finally couldn't help but start talking.
And she still maintained her upright character, without any concealment of her targeting.
"I wonder when you will leave, my Lord. The officials in Shu County are very busy, and they can't follow a woman around all day long."
When these words were spoken, everyone at the table was shocked.
Zhao Jun was particularly shocked.
You are the best. I didn’t expect you to say it so bluntly.
This guy really doesn't play any tricks at all.
In this case, there is nothing for Mr. Zhao to worry about.
She replied before the shocked people around her could say anything.
"It will probably take another two months before I can leave. County Magistrate Lu is quite busy, but the sooner he helps me, the sooner I can go home."
Everyone was shocked again. They didn't expect Zhao Jun to reply in such a plain language.
According to Zhao Jun, the little girl opposite him was probably a somewhat spoiled love-brained person.
If you don't choose clearly, people may live in fantasy forever.
"oh……"
Cheng Xin was suddenly speechless.
She had never met a woman as straightforward as Zhao Jun before, and she was a little choked for a moment.
At this moment, Lu Jing, who was standing in the middle, seemed to finally understand a little.
He sensed that the Third Young Lady, with whom he usually had little interaction, was helping him to drive people away.
Why? What does this have to do with her?
Chengyu also froze in place, not knowing how to respond.
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely suffocating.
Fortunately, a female voice saved them.
"Second sister, third sister, what are you talking about here?"
It was the eldest daughter Cheng Jing who came over after finishing her work.
Finally someone broke the awkward atmosphere and everyone felt relieved.
Cheng Jing had seen his two younger sisters sitting here from a distance.
She remembered her previous intentional thoughts towards Lu Jing, fearing that they would cause some trouble here.
He came here as soon as he finished his work.
She secretly glanced at a few people and found that their faces were not very good, so she had a plan in her heart.
"Lord Zhao, Magistrate Lu, I am truly grateful for both of you coming to this banquet. I hope you two will not mind if I have been negligent before."
She did not continue talking to her sisters, but greeted Zhao Jun and Lu Jing next to her.
"No, no, the young lady treated guests well and did not neglect them."
Zhao Jun stood up and replied.
While they were talking, she was secretly sizing each other up. Cheng Jing looked quite impressive, with clear eyes.
"That's good. I've heard a lot about Lord Zhao before, but I've never met him due to my busy household chores. The cement roads Lord Zhao repaired in Shu County are really convenient for the people, and even my family's business has benefited from it."
Cheng Jing complimented.
The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and the atmosphere finally became much calmer.
Cheng Jing didn't stay here for long. He just chatted for a few minutes and then left.
But before she left, she took her two younger sisters with her.
Chengyu had already gotten the information he wanted to find out, so he pulled his sister away obediently.
Only Zhao Jun and a few others were left, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed.
Xiao He didn't think there was anything wrong, he was just watching the show the whole time anyway.
Zhao Jun also felt that it was okay. It was just dealing with a spoiled little girl with a love brain. It was nothing, but it was a bit unfair.
After coming to his senses, Lu Jing finally understood everything.
He is a smart man, and he did it on purpose and showed it so obviously.
He finally understood that the third daughter of the Cheng family, whom he had only met a few times, was interested in him.
In an instant, he understood the confrontation between the two people and felt a little guilty.
"Sir, I am sorry for causing you trouble."
Lu Jing apologized to Zhao Jun with great guilt.
"No, no, don't think too much."
Zhao Jun waved his hand.
The selection is over, and today's excitement is over. These people are not very interested in the fake banquet that will follow.
I stayed here long enough and met the owner.
So they said goodbye and left quietly.
After the banquet, Cheng Jing returned to the backyard feeling quite tired.
