Chapter 223: Mrs. Zhang, whose combat effectiveness is off the charts
How could she forget, in the midnight dream, she thought that rebirth was just a dream of nothingness, and only when she really saw that the deceased person was still standing in front of her, she could settle down a little.
Looking at Si Ning's appearance, Li Su's tone couldn't help but soften, but despite this, his words still gave people a feeling of undoubtedness.
"A-Ning, don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with Song Yanqing, you and I are the closest relationship, you know, aren't you?"
Si Ning didn't want to entangle with him anymore, "Li Su, since we all have a strange fate to start over, the past has passed, I forgot, you have forgotten." β
Si Ning didn't look at Li Su after speaking, she straightened up and walked out, and when she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped, "Li Su, although we didn't get together, let's disperse." β
With that, she pushed open the door and walked out.
After Sining left, Li Su sat in place for a long time and did not move.
After Sining came out of the restaurant with the dewdrops, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Dew on the side looked at her worriedly, "County Lord, Lord Li didn't bully you just now, did he?" β
"Of course not, how dare he!" Si Ning turned around and saw Luzhu's worried appearance, hooked his lips and smiled at her, "Okay, I'm fine, don't worry, let's go back first, I have to go to the palace to participate in the reception banquet at night." β
"Yes." Dew looked at the county lord's face and said that it didn't seem to be a lie, and the heart that had been carrying it was put down.
β¦β¦
In the evening, the Tai Chi Hall dinner.
The sky has gradually darkened, and the civil and military officials with their respective families have entered the main hall one after another to take their seats.
Si Ning came with Chu Qionghua, because of the identity of the eldest princess, so their seats were relatively high, Si Ning swept around the hall after sitting down, and then saw Li Su had been looking at her, seeing her sight, he also raised his glass to her.
Seeing this, Si Ning frowned, looked away and stopped looking at him, haven't they all made it clear, why is he still like this?
Song Yanqing, who was sitting not far from Sining, came a little late, and after she sat down, she immediately looked for Li Su's figure in the field, and then she happened to see him raising his glass.
She frowned and looked at his line of sight, but she found nothing, thinking to herself who he was toasting to just now, Si Yunting obviously hasn't come yet.
Song Yanqing's undisguised look naturally attracted Li Su's attention, and when Li Su looked over, he found that the person was her, Song Yanqing.
After seeing that it was her, Li Su immediately retracted his gaze, since the last time he listened to Si Ning's interrogation of him, his already weak friendship with Song Yanqing has become even shallower, and he even has a disgust that comes from anger.
As he said to Si Ning, he has never liked Song Yanqing, he is a person with little kinship and cold temperament, and he has never had any affection for her between men and women, only a very weak friendship with his peers.
Now even this very weak friendship has disappeared.
Since he entered the Criminal Department, many people have scolded him behind his back for being cold-hearted and ruthless.
He knows all this, but he really doesn't care, in the Criminal Department, ruthlessness can go further.
And sometimes the definition between being affectionate and ruthless is actually very vague, if you want to be affectionate to one person, you have to be ruthless to many people.
Song Yanqing saw Li Su glance at her and then immediately withdrew her gaze, although she didn't see his expression clearly, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
Mrs. Song on the side looked at her and looked at Li Su with a distracted look, and the hand under the table tugged at her sleeve.
Song Yanqing came back to her senses at this time, and Mrs. Song looked around with a smile and whispered to her, "Restrain yourself." β
Hearing Mrs. Song say this, Song Yanqing's face changed, and then she realized that she looked a little bad just now, she calmed down, no longer looked at Li Su's side, smiled lightly and nodded to the people around her, and spoke softly.
"Mrs. Song, you are really blessed to have the daughter of the most talented woman in the capital."
Mrs. Song smiled lightly and said modestly, "Mrs. Li praised it falsely, she just read a few more books and had a little talent." β
"Mrs. Song, don't be humble, who doesn't know Miss Song's name in this capital, now that Miss Song is in her prime, I'm afraid that the threshold of the Song Mansion will be trampled by the matchmaker." Although Mrs. Zhang said it with a smile, anyone could hear the mockery in her words.
In fact, this is not surprising, Mrs. Zhang is the wife of Zhang Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhang Qi and Song Yuandao have always been at odds with each other, Song Yuandao has not impeached Zhang Qi in the court, Zhang Qi is a military general and not a civil minister, and every time he is speechless by Song Yuandao's mouthful.
It's all like this, it would be strange if Mrs. Zhang would still hold Mrs. Song like others.
Who in the capital didn't know that Song Yuandao valued his disciple Li Su very much, and deliberately wanted to marry his daughter to him, so there was no matchmaker who had ever been to the door of the Song Mansion at all.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that Li Su, the secretary of the Criminal Department, severed the master-apprentice relationship with Lord Song a few days ago, didn't Lord Song still say that Li Shangshu was his most proud protΓ©gΓ©, this, this is really unexpected."
Mrs. Zhang covered her lips with a handkerchief and said with a smile.
Mrs. Zhang's ridicule in and out of her words made the people around her feel very embarrassed, Mrs. Song's face was slightly stiff with a light smile all the time, and Song Yanqing's face was not very good-looking.
Mrs. Li, who spoke at the beginning, also had a relationship with Mrs. Zhang on weekdays, and when she saw that she was unforgiving, she gently tugged on her sleeve.
"When the child fights and always has a disagreement with the elders, this is not a big deal, as for Mrs. Zhang, I would like to advise you, it is better to take care of other people's affairs." Mrs. Zhao cleared the siege.
"Yo, no one else has spoken, it's your turn to bark here." Mrs. Zhang looked at her with a mocking expression, "After all, your husband is the Dali Siqing who relied on the big tree of the Song Mansion, how can you do it if you don't have to worry about it, right?" β
Mrs. Zhao pointed at her with a look of shame, "You! β
Mrs. Zhang doesn't even care about Mrs. Song, how can she be afraid of this Mrs. Zhao, when it comes to this, I have to talk about Mrs. Zhang's identity.
Mrs. Zhao's name is Feng Hongyan, she is the daughter of Feng Yongji, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, and the lord of Anping, the lord of Anping and the queen mother were handkerchiefs, and now they will enter the palace from time to time to visit the queen mother, Feng Hongyan was directly called the queen mother's aunt when she was a child.
Because of this relationship, Feng Hongyan can be said to have grown up with the eldest princess Chu Qionghua as a playmate since childhood, and the two also made handkerchiefs.
With these layers of relationships, Feng Hongyan was not afraid of anyone in the capital.
"What are you, don't be afraid of being scolded if you dare to come out!" Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly.
