Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Zhou was a little surprised by Li Mizhen's proactive greeting.

"The Lord of Qingyun County has also come out?"

Li Mizhen stepped forward and said, "Like Mrs. Hou, come out for some air."

Zhou smiled politely and nodded. After the greetings, she didn't know what to say next. After all, the two of them were of the same age.

Zhou originally thought that Li Mizhen was passing by and would leave after saying hello, but she didn't expect that she had no intention of leaving.

When Zhou was confused, Li Mizhen spoke.

"Please don't take what my aunt said to Mrs. Hou so seriously. After all, Dong Jiafu is no longer a maid in Dingguo Palace, and her father is her cousin's superior. In front of so many people My aunt always has to take Mr. Dong’s face into consideration.”

After her reminder, Mrs. Zhou remembered that the eldest son of Duke Dingguo seemed to be serving in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In this way, she understood that Princess Minghui really came to defend Mr. Dong because of his face.

But why would Qingyun County Chief tell her this?

Zhou was puzzled. Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Kang only had one daughter, Princess Minghui, and they regarded her as if they were his own eyes. Even if Princess Minghui is married, her words in Prince Kang's Mansion will still have weight.

Prince Kang's Mansion and Duke Dingguo's Mansion are like one body. What does Qingyun County Lord mean by this? Could it be that Princess Minghui meant it? Because you don’t want to antagonize their Zhongjing Hou Mansion?

Zhou thought so, Princess Minghui must be worried that what she said earlier was too serious, and she couldn't bear to lose face, so she asked Princess Qingyun to come over and explain to her. After all, the Marquis's position in the court was also very important.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhou straightened her back unconsciously, "Actually, I have guessed it a long time ago. If it weren't for Mr. Dong, why would the princess protect a former servant like that? However, I still have to thank the county master for informing me. . Don’t worry, we are all from a lord’s family, which is different from the kind of family that comes from a small place and occasionally gets favored by the saints.”

"What Mrs. Hou said is absolutely true. You are worthy of being the wife of the Marquis Zhongjing, who has great military exploits. Your magnanimity and magnanimity are incomparable." Li Mizhen said innocently.

If Zhou hadn't taken over the identity of Lu Siheng's aunt, she wouldn't have deliberately approached her. As far as she knew, Lu Siheng had been taught a lot by his aunt when he was young. Now, let Zhou be proud of herself. When the opportunity arises in the future, she will definitely vent her anger on Lu Siheng's behalf.

Zhou's smile deepened after hearing Li Mizhen's words, "I didn't expect that the county owner was not only of noble birth, but also had such a good temper."

"What's the use of all this? I almost married a treacherous minister and traitor, and I didn't have people talking about me behind my back." Li Mizhen laughed at himself.

In the beginning, Marquis Pingyuan was able to enter the capital by going to Prince Kang's Mansion to welcome his bride. He cooperated with the second prince inside and outside, caught everyone off guard, and almost succeeded in forcing the palace.

Recalling that day, everyone was in danger, and the Zhou family was also frightened. After receiving the news, the Marquis immediately entered the palace to escort her. She and Wen Chen closed the door tightly and hid in the room in fear.

It was at that time that the evildoer became a celebrity overnight.

Zhou quickly retracted her thoughts and consoled her: "County Lord, please don't belittle yourself and think of the good. Fortunately, you and Pingyuan Hou Shizi have not yet formally married, so you have not been implicated by them. The Holy Lord also personally named you the County Lord, which shows that you Yes, you are a lucky person, don’t listen to the nonsense of people outside.”

Zhou had also heard some gossip about her. No matter how nice the words were, they could not hide the fact that she had promised to the son of Marquis Pingyuan. Even if she didn't sit in the sedan chair, it would be detrimental to her reputation, otherwise the Holy Emperor would not have given her the title of County Lord.

"Thank you, Madam Hou." Li Mizhen looked at her, as if looking for approval, "You also think this is not my fault, right?"

"That's natural." There was no hesitation on Zhou's face.

"If only other people thought like you..."

Seeing her sad look, Mrs. Zhou asked hesitantly, "Is the county chief worried about her future marriage?"

Finally getting to the point, Li Mizhen nodded silently.

"My Lord, you don't need to think too much. With your talents and background, if a man from a certain family can marry you, it will be a blessing from your past life. My Lord, you will definitely be able to marry a good man."

Anyway, if it's nice and it doesn't cost money, Zhou is very willing to sell a favor to Prince Kang's Mansion and the head of Qingyun County.

"Thank you Madam Hou for your kind words," Li Mizhen said with a hint of joy in his tone, "It's almost time, let's go back to the front hall."

"Yes, we can't keep so many waiting."

Zhou and Li Mizhen returned to the front hall together.

Princess Kang noticed that after Li Mizhen sat down next to her, she asked in a low voice: "Didn't you go to the clean room? Why did you stay there for so long?"

"I passed by the garden and took a walk there. I came back a little late." Li Mizhen replied lightly to avoid the important matter.

At this time, Mrs. Shen also came back, followed by the lady who went out with her, and two rows of servants carrying dishes.

"Dear guests, I have kept you waiting for a long time. The food is ready. Please enjoy it. Don't be polite."

Mrs. Shen raised her hand and the servants brought the dishes to the table.

The outspoken lady returned to her seat and sat down. She lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at the second lady of Duke Dingguo's house across from her, let alone make any sound. My sister-in-law had just told her that her unintentional words might have offended the second lady.

The second lady was so worried that she didn't bother to give her a good look.

"The dishes are all served, please use your chopsticks." Mrs. Shen arranged the table before going back to sit down.

After a meal, some people are happy and some are worried.

After the banquet, some people who had a normal relationship with the Shen family left first.

The second lady didn't want to stay any longer, so she stood up and said, "Mrs. Shen, sister-in-law, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I'm going back first."

Everyone here knew why she was uncomfortable and didn't say much.

The eldest lady nodded, "In that case, the second brother and sister should go back and have a good rest."

"If you don't entertain me well, I'll send the second lady off." Mrs. Shen stood up.

When everyone from Duke Dingguo's residence came, they were riding in two carriages. The second lady was about to leave, but the third lady and the fourth lady looked at each other and stood up.

"Sister-in-law, then I, my fourth sister-in-law, and my second sister-in-law will go back together and let Yalan and Yatong talk to their third sister here for a while," the third lady said.

"Okay, you can go first." The eldest lady responded.

Mrs. Shen and several other ladies from the Shen family went out to see people off, and the rest dispersed at will.

Dong Jiafu came to the eldest lady and said, "Thank you very much, Princess, for speaking for me just now."

The eldest lady smiled and said: "Miss Dong is having an affair. We have been together for three years anyway. I will not let anyone talk about you like that. Also, you should just call me the same as before. Change your name." , I’m really not used to it.”

Dong Jiafu took good care of herself, "Actually, I am a little uncomfortable with the eldest lady calling me 'Miss Dong'."

The eldest lady laughed heartily, "I heard Yaying call you Afu. If you don't mind, how about I call you the same in private?"

"Of course." Dong Jiafu nodded.
