Chapter 140: Bedford's Hatred
But she saw that Mrs. Lee Kerst was about to walk towards Situ Jin, when suddenly a person in front of her blocked her way. This person was Bedford, who had just arrived in Tias and had not been in office for a long time.
The **** met Mrs. Lee Kerster and spoke for the eldest prince Robert, but he never thought that this lady would refuse in person, and he never gave him a good face. Although he was extremely depressed, Bedford didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only put down the matter of talking about the matchmaker first, and then plan later.
For the past few days, Bedford has been thinking day and night about how to convince Mrs. Lee Kerst that this is a task given to him by the Grand Prince Robert, and if he fails to do so, he will definitely have no place in front of the Grand Prince in the future.
But after thinking about it for a few days, Bedford didn't think of any good idea, and suddenly received an invitation from Mrs. Lee Kerst that day, and he was overjoyed and secretly thought that the opportunity was coming!
As soon as he entered the hall and saw Mrs. Lee Kerster, he immediately stepped forward to greet Mrs. Lee Kerster, and this was the present scene.
"Madame, I won't see you for a few days!
Bedford was not tall, with thinning hair, long legs, and was hard to look at if he wasn't dressed in aristocratic attire.
When Mrs. Lee Kerst saw Bedford, she only nodded slightly, and her expression was rather cold.
Bedford smiled bitterly in his heart, and secretly thought to himself how to open his mouth in order to make the lady less defensive about herself.
At this moment, Mrs. Lee Kerst raised her footsteps, bypassed Bedford, and headed in the direction behind Bedford.
Bedford turned to find Mrs. Lee Kerst walking up to a man. At this moment, the cold color on the lady's face had dissipated completely, and it was replaced by a light smile that charmed all beings.
Seeing this, Bedford was suspicious, wondering who this handsome man was, who had let the glamorous and beautiful Mrs. Lee Kerst show such courtesy? Driven by curiosity, Bedford also took a few steps forward and stood not far behind the man and Mrs. Lee Kerster.
At this time, I only heard Mrs. Lee Kerster's soft voice say: "Since you are here, why don't you come to see me!"
The handsome man standing in front of Mrs. Lee Kerst was naturally Situ Jin. Although Situ Jin is still underage, he can't see any immaturity in terms of appearance or behavior, so Bedford didn't guess Situ Jin's identity.
Seeing that Mrs. Lee Kerster's expression was full of charm, Situ Jin lost his mind for a moment. Then I thought to myself, although I had some ambiguous words with this lady before, but in general, the relationship between the two was normal, but today this lady was charming when she saw her, I don't know what this woman was thinking!
Thinking so in his heart, Situ Jin's face naturally said: "Don't blame Madame, I was about to greet Madame, but I didn't want to be preempted by others, so I could only wait aside." ”
Hearing Situ Jin's words, Mrs. Lee Kerster's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said coquettishly: "You will coax me! I have seen it a long time ago, you have been here for a while!"
Situ Jin laughed awkwardly, and at this moment, a voice suddenly interjected: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name?"
Situ Jin turned his head with Mrs. Lee Kerster, and saw Bedford standing next to him, and said with a smile on his face: "I am Connie Bedford, and I have just come to Tias to take the position of city secretary.
In fact, Situ Jin had already guessed Bedford's identity, and when he heard Bedford's words, Situ Jin felt a little funny in his heart, but he said quietly: "Under Situ Jin!"
Hearing Situ Jin's words, Bedford's expression changed greatly.
If there was anyone he hated the most in this city of Tias, it was Situ Jin! not because of his father's entrustment to him, but because of his personal indignation!
Before coming to Tias, Bedford had always thought that as long as he arrived in Tias, the affairs of the city would be up to him.
How do you think that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny!
After a few days, Bedford finally found that he was just a bare-bones city priest in the city of Tias! Except that on the day he first arrived in Tias, he summoned all the officials and generals to meet at the city secretary's mansion. Since then, the city secretary's mansion has been deserted every day, and no one has come to ask him for instructions, and no one has obeyed any orders he has given.
After sending someone to inquire carefully, Bedford learned that all the officials and generals in the city went directly to Situ Jin's mansion for instructions, and all orders in the city were also issued from Situ Jin's mansion.
Although he Bedford bears the name of the city secretary on his head and lives in the city secretary's mansion, it is Situ Jin who really performs the duties of the city secretary, and Situ Jin's mansion is more like the city secretary's mansion than the place where he lives.
Knowing this, how could Bedford not hate Situ Jin in his heart! Before coming to Tias, he heard that Situ Jin was just a yellow-haired boy who was still underage, and Bedford never took Situ Jin in his eyes, and he never thought that he would be overwhelmed by Situ Jin now.
It was precisely because of the difficulties in the city of Tias that Bedford wanted to facilitate the affair between Lady Lee Kerst and the Grand Prince as soon as possible.
If this matter can be promoted, even if other things are not done as expected, presumably the eldest prince will not look down on him, and the most important thing is that his father will be proud of him, which is what Bedford cares about the most.
All along, Bedford was not favored by his father, so once he came out, Bedford was eager to prove his talent to Martin!
In the few days since he came to Tias, Bedford had never met Situ Jin, and he never thought that he would meet Situ Jin here today.
"It turned out to be Young Master Situ!" the smile on Bedford's expression disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a sneer.
Situ Jin didn't care, just smiled faintly and didn't speak.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of music in the hall, and Mrs. Lee Kerst smiled at Situ Jin and said softly: "The music is sound, Jin, don't you invite me to dance together?"
Situ Jin chuckled lightly, and did not answer, but bowed slightly, and stretched out a hand to Mrs. Lee Kerster.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lee Koster gladly handed over her slender hand, and the two turned and stepped onto the dance floor.
As soon as she entered the dance floor, just a few seconds after dancing, Mrs. Lee Kerst suddenly leaned her head on Situ Jin's chest, and her whole body leaned on Situ Jin, like a little woman.
When everyone in the hall saw this, they were amazed, and secretly wondered what the relationship between Mrs. Lee Kerst and Situ Jin was.
Since the death of the Marquis of Lee Kerst, not to mention the men in other places, it is the men in the city of Tias, but anyone with a certain status does not want to marry Lady Lee Kerst back home.
Not to mention the huge inheritance left by the old marquis, and with the peerless appearance of Madame Lee Kerster, few men could not be unmoved. The eldest prince is just one of the more representative of these men, and the eldest prince is not the only one in this empire who wants to sit on beauty and wealth?
