Su Wenyue didn't expect Zhou Wangshi to be so capable. In such a short time, she sneaked into the county government office and even flattered the captain-general's wife. Since the captain-general's wife was willing to let her follow her, she at least had a different opinion of Zhou Wangshi. What's more, the captain-general's wife also introduced Zhou Wangshi to the county magistrate's wife.
Just like the county magistrate's wife introduced Su Wenyue to the captain-general's wife, the captain-general's wife also had the same intention. She wanted the county magistrate's wife to take care of Zhou Wangshi. No one knew what kind of luck Zhou Wangshi had that made the captain-general's wife help her so much. After all, the county magistrate's wife helped Su Wenyue not only because of Su Wenyue herself, but also because of Mrs. Su Anshi. After more than ten years of friendship, it seemed that Zhou Wangshi and the captain-general's wife had just met. Before, when she heard Zhou Wangshi mention the captain-general's wife, she still felt very unfamiliar.
"Greetings, Madam County Magistrate." After introducing the head lady, Zhou Wangshi bowed to the Madam County Magistrate, and she followed all the etiquette.
The county magistrate's wife didn't know about the previous tricks outside the county government office, but she didn't feel dissatisfied with Zhou Wangshi. Besides, she couldn't deny the face of the general's wife, so she said a few affectionate words to Zhou Wangshi and praised her.
When the headmistress saw that the county magistrate's wife gave her so much face, she was also very kind to Su Wenyue. Especially when she heard that Su Wenyue was Han Yu's wife, she became even more kind to Su Wenyue.
I heard from my husband that Captain Han is a very promising young man. He is not only physically capable but also smart and knows how to be grateful. It is only a matter of time for such a young man to rise to the top. Moreover, he has the advantage of being young. The court is not peaceful now and there will be chaos sooner or later. If a fighting breaks out, he can make some military achievements and quickly climb up.
The head lady also had a very good impression of Su Wenyue. She felt that not only was Su Wenyue's temperament better than those of the other ladies, but her manners and actions also revealed the demeanor of a noble person. She was well-behaved and had a clean, clear and sincere smile, which was pleasing to the eye.
As a woman, if it were another woman, she might be a little jealous. But as the wife of a military officer, the chief lady actually has a sense of heroism in her nature. She is not so petty as to not want to see others better than her. So she admires Su Wenyue, and because of Han Yu's relationship, she has an extra desire to make friends with him. Since Han Yu will climb up sooner or later, even higher than her husband, making friends with him now will be beneficial to her in the future.
With this in mind, the head lady treated Su Wenyue equally and did not look down on her. Unlike towards Zhou Wangshi, although the head lady had a good attitude and even helped Zhou Wangshi very much, the relationship was unequal and it seemed like alms to Zhou Wangshi.
When Zhou Wangshi followed the battalion chief's wife in to congratulate the county magistrate on his birthday, she was very proud. She thought of Fang Chenshi, Su Wenyue, and Liu Zhaoshi. She had many thoughts in her mind, and felt very proud. She wondered if Su Wenyue and the others would be surprised and jealous if they saw her later. Zhou Wangshi only knew that Su Wenyue might know the county magistrate's wife, but she didn't know the relationship between the county magistrate's wife and Su Wenyue. She thought that because she had won over the battalion chief's wife, she was one level higher than Su Wenyue and the others, and Su Wenyue and the others would have to curry favor with her in the future.
So when Zhou Wangshi came in and saw Su Wenyue following behind the county magistrate's wife, she felt a sense of injustice and twistedness in her heart, especially when she saw that the wife of the chief general was also kind to Su Wenyue, which made her feel even more unbalanced. She had tried so hard that she almost disfigured herself to curry favor with the wife of the chief general and make her look at her differently. How could Su Wenyue get all this easily without doing anything? However, Zhou Wangshi was a smart person and would not do anything inappropriate in such an occasion.
As a "favorite" in front of the captain's wife, Zhou was also surrounded and flattered by the other female relatives. While feeling proud, she felt that power was a good thing. If there was a successful husband, she would no longer have to rely on flattering others to have her current glory.
"Come to think of it, Yue Niang and Wang Shi know each other. Your husbands both serve in the military camp, so you must have interacted with each other a lot on a daily basis. I don't think you introduced each other." The head lady asked with a smile.
Just as Su Wenyue was about to answer, Zhou Wangshi spoke first, as if she was afraid that Su Wenyue would say something unfavorable to her.
"Yes, Yue Niang and I have known each other for a long time, and we often visit each other. I like Yue Niang's personality very much, and she is just like my own sister." Zhou Wang said warmly, and it seemed like that was the case. In fact, she also saw the attitude of the county magistrate's wife and the captain's wife towards Su Wenyue, so she got closer to Su Wenyue. In her opinion, she said this to give Su Wenyue face. After all, her husband's official position was one level higher than Su Wenyue's husband.
When Su Wenyue heard what Zhou Wang said, her eyelids twitched. She felt that Zhou Wang was not only jealous, but also shameless. When did they have such a friendship? They were like sisters or even enemies.
The lady in chief did not deliberately lower her voice, nor did she mean to hide the question from others. She asked openly, so everyone present heard it. When Liu Zhao and others heard what Zhou Wang said, they also felt that Zhou Wang was very shameless. She was so shameless. Who would have a good relationship with her?
When Fang Chen heard what Zhou Wang said, her face was filled with disdain and sarcasm. She was so angry that she accidentally said what she was thinking.
"Tsk, you're talking to your own sister like that, you're really good at talking! People nowadays are too shameless, they'll say anything to curry favor with someone, if that's the case why did she want to follow me in so eagerly before, and when she saw that it wasn't working she changed her attitude, she treated me like an enemy but insisted on saying we were sisters, it's just hilarious!"
As soon as Fang Chen said this, the whole banquet fell silent. Everyone looked at Fang Chen in disbelief. Is this woman mentally ill? She dared to say this in front of the county magistrate's wife and the captain-general's wife. Even if this was true, she couldn't say it out loud. Zhou Wang was the one favored by the captain-general's wife. Wouldn't this offend the captain-general's wife? However, she also had various guesses about Zhou Wang in her mind.
Zhou Wangshi did not expect Fang Chenshi to be so stupid that she was implicated in such foolish behavior. Seeing that the captain's wife also heard what Fang Chenshi said, she felt bad and cursed Fang Chenshi thousands of times in her heart, saying that this mentally ill woman should not have been involved with her before.
When the head lady heard what Fang Chen said, thinking about what had happened outside before, there was a hint of doubt in her eyes when she looked at Zhou Wang, but she said nothing. She just kept this doubt in her heart and looked at Su Wenyue with a smile.
