Chapter 1704 Watching the Show Together
Wei Xinyi went to the private room with a confused look on her face. After careful consideration, she spoke, "Ms. Ji seems to be very afraid of the county lord."
Yu Wen said, "Maybe I warned her?"
Wei Xinyi was stunned. Was it so direct? However, she liked directness. "In the Qin Palace?"
The smile in Yuwen's eyes deepened, she reacted very quickly, she liked smart ones, stupid ones were fine, she was afraid of the naive girls in her grandmother's stories, her family background was not suitable for naive girls, they would only bring trouble to the family.
Thinking of this, Yuwen drank some tea to suppress her surprise. It was not just naive people that she hated.
Yuwen asked, "The dim sum here is pretty good, do you like any of them?"
Wei Xinyi is an only child with plenty of money. Due to her upbringing, she is not shy. She ordered what she liked and asked, "What snacks does the county lord like?"
Yu Wen curled her lips and ordered her favorite snacks and tea.
After the waiter left, Yu Wen asked, "Are you familiar with Miss Ji?"
Wei Xinyi didn't want the county lord to have a bad impression of her, so she stretched out her white fingers and said, "We've met three times in total, and we're not familiar with each other."
Yu Wen said meaningfully, "Miss Ji called your name."
Wei Xinyi frowned, "She wants to be friends with me, but her and I are not compatible in personality, and I have already made my attitude clear."
Yu Wen nodded in her heart, her mind clear, "I'm not here just to invite you for tea today."
Wei Xinyi no longer thought about Ji Rong. She hooked her fingertips nervously. When she met the county lord's eyes, her ears turned red. She was seen through!
Yuwen didn't want to bully anyone. If nothing unexpected happened, this person would be her future aunt. "Pick up my uncle's jade pendant. My uncle has always wanted to thank you, but he just didn't have the chance. Well, the jade pendant was a birthday gift from my grandfather to my uncle."
Wei Xinyi was secretly lucky that she had been keeping her eyes on Master Zhou, otherwise he would be sad if the jade pendant was lost. "I have to return the jade pendant to whomever I picked it up. You don't deserve my thanks."
Yu Wen smiled and said, "Yes, yes."
Outside the teahouse, Ji Rong ran away but did not leave. Instead, she went to the shop opposite. Her brows were furrowed. Thinking of Princess Qin bringing Wei Xinyi to meet Lady Zhou, her heart became heavier.
Now Wei Xinyi and County Lord Anhe are drinking tea together. Does this mean that Marquis Zhou’s Mansion has chosen Wei Xinyi?
This feeling of uneasiness reached its peak when she saw Zhou Changzhong again. She saw with her own eyes that Zhou Changzhong entered the teahouse opposite. It was obvious, it was obvious that they were the most destined to be together!
In the teahouse's private room, Zhulan heard Qingxue say that Changzhong had arrived. She stopped eating her snack, stood up and eavesdropped against the wall, then met Shuren's eyes, "You really should let others see what you are like now."
The dignified Lord Zhou was squatting and eavesdropping around the wall!
Zhou Shuren whispered, "You, the first female dean, are eavesdropping!"
The two looked at each other, then stopped talking and listened carefully with their ears tilted up.
Changzhong entered the private room. This time the door was not closed. Even though Yuwen was in the room, closing the door would not be good for Miss Wei's reputation. It would be better to leave the door open. The screen just blocked the door and would not arouse any speculation.
Changzhong didn't even sit down when he came in. He thanked Miss Wei directly, "Thank you."
Miss Wei blushed. God knows how nervous she was when Master Zhou came towards her. She told herself to stay calm. "I don't deserve your thanks. You are too polite."
Chang Zhong smiled and said, "Thank you, of course I'll thank you. This is the note I wrote to Mr. Wei Er. Please help pass it on, Miss."
Miss Wei reached out her hand and took it. She had calmed down and said, "Okay, I will definitely pass it on to my second brother."
Changzhong didn't want to stay any longer. He ignored his niece's eyes that were watching the show, nodded to Miss Wei, turned around and left the box. Well, he wanted to make friends with Master Wei first.
Zhulan and her husband did not get up until their son came downstairs. Zhulan was supported by Qingxue to go to the window. She wanted to see where her son had gone, but the result was!
Zhou Shuren was pounding his legs. "What's wrong?"
Zhulan waved her hand, "Come, come, come and have a look."
When Zhou Shuren heard his wife's voice rising, he hurried over and saw a girl stopping her son. "Oh, this boy has a lot of romantic relationships."
Zhulan, "Do you think it's a good peach blossom?"
Zhou Shuren suddenly realized, "It can't be the Miss Ji you mentioned!"
Zhulan: "Yeah."
Downstairs, Changzhong was in a good mood, but when he saw Ji Rong was no longer blocking his way, he took a deep breath and said, "I think women shouldn't block people on the street. What do you think, Miss Ji?"
Ji Rong's face turned pale. She was just impulsive and twisted her handkerchief. "I just want to thank you for saving my life."
Changzhong, "???"
No, it was obviously my niece who helped!
When Ji Rong lowered her head, she didn't see that Master Zhou had turned around and left quickly. When she raised her head, Master Zhou was nowhere to be seen. Ji Rong asked the maid, "Where is Master Zhou?"
The little girl's face turned pale. She hoped that the young lady would find a marriage partner and leave the Luo family, but she was more afraid that the young lady would provoke someone she shouldn't provoke. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Mr. Zhou is gone."
Ji Rong was a little dazed, "Am I that scary?"
The little girl thought to herself, the young lady is really scary sometimes, the old lady is sick, "The young lady is not scary, you are very beautiful."
Ji Rong pursed her lips. She felt like the people around her were laughing at her. She lowered her head and said, "Let's go back."
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes."
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren watched the whole process from upstairs. Zhulan nodded with satisfaction, "My son, remember what I told you."
Zhou Shuren frowned, "This Miss Ji is not someone who will give up easily."
He had heard a lot from his wife. It was very difficult for such a person to change his character. If she married into a family of low social status, and her husband was gentle and could control the whole family, she could live happily. But if she married into a family of high social status, it would be a disaster for Miss Ji and the family she married into.
Miss Ji is currently covered with thorns, it's so prickly!
Zhulan snorted, "You forgot that your son grew up listening to my stories."
Zhou Shuren was amused, "Yeah, so my son runs really fast."
The two of them were standing by the window chatting. The window next door was also open. From Zhulan's rising voice, Yuwen next door could hear it.
Then Yuwen stood up and stood by the window, and saw what happened downstairs, "!!"
Wei Xinyi wondered why the county lord was standing by the window. It was not convenient for her to sit alone, so she also saw Ji Rong stopping Mr. Zhou!
Wei Xinyi's mind was full of Ji Rong's visit to Mr. Zhou, so she didn't hear the conversation next door.
Yuwen heard it clearly and covered her face with a fan. Grandpa and grandma are next door? Yesterday, grandpa asked the imperial physician to pretend to be sick. She thought grandpa wanted to rest, but she never expected that the old couple were so curious!
The emperor in the palace was speechless for a while, looked at the ministers who continued to quarrel, took a deep breath, and Marquis Zhou also wanted to have some peace and quiet. He was not the emperor, so he also wanted to hide!
The emperor looked at the prince, then shook his head. The child is still young!
The prince was confused. Why was his father shaking his head at him?
