Since marrying Shen Yizhi, Leng Lanzhi rarely attends private banquets. Even if she occasionally does, she will never show up in front of male guests.
Logically speaking, Mr. Wu should not know her anymore.
However, it doesn't matter even if the other party recognizes her, he will leave tomorrow anyway.
The two parties met soon. Mr. Wu bowed to Mr. Jia, while Li Tianer and others paid tribute to Mr. Wu one after another.
After the two parties finished their greetings, Mr. Wu asked, seemingly unintentionally: "This girl is..."
Leng Lanzhi glanced at him and felt relieved when he saw that there was no hint of familiarity in his eyes. He probably didn't recognize her.
Jia smiled and said, "This is my lord's distant cousin, Shui Linglong."
Leng Lanzhi nodded slightly as a greeting, while Mr. Wu showed a surprised expression: "Miss Shui is actually County Sheriff Li's distant cousin?"
"Yes." Jia Shi nodded.
Leng Lanzhi thought this question was a bit strange, and Gu Zhan also frowned.
Mr. Wu smiled brighter and brighter: "I see..." He cupped his fists and saluted Leng Lanzhi: "Miss Shui, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you."
No wonder he couldn't find the beautiful woman everywhere. It turned out that the beautiful woman was right under his nose.
This is the legendary darkness under the lamp.
But, it’s good to be under your nose, it’s great!
Right under his nose, he no longer had to think of ways to kidnap people.
But he had some doubts.
If Shui Linglong is really Commander Li's distant cousin, why doesn't Shui Wenbin know about it?
Leng Lanzhi didn't like the look in this person's eyes, so she just nodded slightly as a greeting. She said to Jia, "Cousin, let's go."
Jia also felt that Mr. Wu's eyes were very uncomfortable. Although the eyes were directed at Leng Lanzhi and seemed to have nothing to do with her, she now regarded Leng Lanzhi as one of her own and naturally wanted to protect her. Then he said to Master Wu: "Master Wu, let's go there first."
Mr. Wu had a gentle smile on his face, and he looked like a handsome young man no matter how he looked: "Okay."
But after Leng Lanzhi and others left, his expression suddenly changed: "You are so shameless!"
Leng Lanzhi and his entourage walked forward for a short distance, and after making sure that Mr. Wu could not hear him, Jia reminded Leng Lanzhi: "Cousin, don't look at this Mr. Wu who looks like a talented person. His father is from Jingzhong." Lord Shangshu, but he is really not a good match, so don’t let him fool you.”
Leng Lanzhi was a little surprised.
According to ordinary people's thinking, Shui Linglong would definitely feel that Shui Linglong's status was not worthy of Mr. Wu. Unexpectedly, when he came to Jia's place, it turned out that Mr. Wu was not worthy of Shui Linglong.
Mrs. Jia thought Leng Lanzhi didn't believe it and said, "I'm not lying to you, nor am I playing tricks on you. In fact, on the first day that Mr. Wu came to live in our house, I asked my master about Mr. Wu. situation."
Mr. Wu is the son of the minister. Regardless of his status as the noble prince of Shengjing or his status as the son of the minister, he is a perfect candidate for his son-in-law.
Moreover, Mr. Wu has just turned eighteen this year. Many men at this age have not yet married, so Jia naturally became interested.
Li Changlin told her that despite his young age, Mr. Wu was very playful and already had more than a dozen concubines in his house.
Moreover, this man wandered around the flowers every day, and even a dozen concubines could not tie his heart to his own back house.
Anyone who marries him will have to worry about it for the rest of his life!
As for any serious family, who would want their daughter to become the aunt-in-law of a bunch of concubines and concubines after they get married?
Jia felt that although her cousin was very beautiful, her status determined her upper limit.
If she were to find an ordinary family in Tianhai City, with Li Changlin's relationship here, even if the other party was a petty official, Li Changlin would guarantee that she would be his wife.
But if she insists on going to Beijing, she will have no choice but to be a concubine.
Seeing Mrs. Jia's anxious look, Leng Lanzhi was moved and said with a smile: "Don't worry, cousin, I'm not interested in Mr. Wu."
Jia Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
As the head matron of the largest official in Tianhai City, Jia's family, even though the protagonist tonight is Wu Shangshu, as the host's wife, she naturally has no way of being the hands-off shopkeeper.
Not only the Jia family, but also Li Tian'er and other young ladies in the mansion could not stay with Leng Lanzhi all the time.
As soon as they entered the garden, Li Tian'er and others were called away by a group of their peers.
Leng Lanzhi's purpose of attending the dinner tonight was just to check on Li Tian'er. She hadn't gotten to the main topic yet, so she wasn't in a hurry, so she planned to find a place to stay quietly for a while, waiting for Jia's time to find a future partner. Come out when your son-in-law is here.
She and Gu Zhan had just found a corner to sit down when a maid suddenly came over: "Cousin, someone is looking for you."
Leng Lan was stunned.
She didn't know many people in Tianhai City. Apart from people from the Sheriff's Mansion, she didn't seem to have any other acquaintances.
But if it were someone from the Sheriff's Mansion, it would be impossible for them to be so mysterious.
Suddenly, she thought of a possibility.
Did her people sneak in?
Lin Weiyang is awake?
Thinking of this possibility, she followed the maid and walked outside.
"why you?"
The person standing outside was not the person responsible for taking care of Lin Weiyang at all, but Shui Wenbin.
Shui Wenbin thanked the maid who conveyed the message, and then looked at Leng Lanzhi with a smile: "Second uncle, I didn't expect that you, Linglong, would be so capable of establishing a relationship with the county governor's mansion."
Leng Lanzhi frowned: "What does it have to do with you?"
Shui Wenbin stroked his beard: "You are my niece, of course your affairs are related to me!"
If he had known that this wild girl had a relationship with Mrs. Li, why would he let his family provoke her again and again?
I have already used this relationship to rise to the top, right?
But it's not too late.
"Whoever I get involved with has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to provoke me again, otherwise, Shui Chen and Shui Tingting will serve as a warning to you!"
Shui Wenbin's face darkened.
Shui Haoyan could no longer hold back his anger: "Shui Linglong, what's so cool about you! Don't you think you can be arrogant just because you flatter Mrs. Li?"
Do you want me to remind you what tricks you used to trick Mr. Li and Mrs. Li into treating you differently?
You'd better listen to us and help us, otherwise..."
Don’t they know Shui Wentao’s family yet?
The three members of this family are all poor and poor. How can they be related to the dignified county governor?
Leng Lanzhi's pretty face turned cold.
Seeing her change of expression, the Shui family father and son thought he was scared. Shui Haoyan was very proud: "You are a liar! How good Mrs. Li is to you now, after knowing your true face, they will How angry! If you don’t want to be exposed, just listen to us, otherwise..."
"What else?"
