After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Mother Shen only dared to whisper this to Lin. Today, she had finally met the county magistrate and could not miss the opportunity.

However, it was impossible for Lin Ting to let Shen's mother and Shen Jizu get what they wanted. She had already found the trick to control these people.

"Uncle, I told you in advance that I would let you sit at the main table today. It's your own fault that you came late.

There is no seat at the main table now, and Lord Qu is talking to my father-in-law, and he also knows that Shen Dali is my father-in-law.

Could it be that you want to kick the host of this banquet off the table in front of Lord Qu, and then go up to talk to Lord Qu about your career?

I don't mind this, but I can't guarantee what the county magistrate's impression of you is.

The corner of Shen Jizu's mouth twitched, and he looked over there at the young man who was speaking. Everyone's eyes were on him. Presumably, he was the magistrate of Wenzhu County.

It’s all his fault and Shen’s mother’s plan. Why wear dirty clothes? It’s too late now.

But Shen's mother didn't think so. She just felt that as long as Shen Jizu could have a say with the county magistrate, he could get an official position, and she didn't care about any messy things.

"Ji Zu, don't listen to Lin Ting's nonsense. If Shen Dali won't come down, I'm here. I'll cry, make a fuss, and even commit suicide to make sure he gives up his position to you."

Just as Shen's mother was about to step forward, she was immediately pulled back by Shen Jizu.

"Mom, please stop making trouble, I'm already annoyed enough."

Now that he couldn't sit at the main table, Shen Jizu could only look for another opportunity. Today he must speak to the county magistrate. Once he had a good relationship with the county magistrate, he would kill Lin Ting.

Reluctantly, he walked over to sit next to Brother Shen Zu.

There was only one seat left at Lin Ting's table, and Lin Ting looked at the three people in front of him.

"Only one person can sit here. The other two can go sit at the banquet outside. Who of you three will come?"

Lin Ting just wanted to separate them. As long as they were not together, they would not be able to cause any trouble today.

Mother Shen and Mrs. Xu, you look at me, I look at you, the people sitting here are the mother of the county magistrate, and the rich man Lin Lin.

Both of them wanted to contact these people, but in the end they left this only opportunity to Shen Rou.

Shen Rou is young and knowledgeable, so she can definitely get along well with these people.

However, with Lin Ting around, Shen Rou couldn't talk to anyone except for eating.

Lin Lin hated her even more. It was this woman who beat Xiaobao.

As for Lu Cailiang, who was sitting at another table, his eyes had been on Shen Rou since Lin Ting started calling Shen Jizu "uncle".

Lin Ting is Shen Qingzhou's wife. She calls this man "uncle". So the only woman behind this uncle must be his daughter Shen Rou.

He looked at Shen Rou from head to toe and felt that this woman was very snobbish. At the age of twenty, she was already an old maid.

When his eyes fell on the villagers, he looked down on them.

But when she saw Old Man Qu, she had that look of wanting to please him.

A trace of disgust rose in Lu Cailiang's heart. People like him would do anything to achieve their goals.

He stood up and walked to the position of his subordinates behind him, pointing his eyes at Shen Rou and questioning her.

"Does that woman often appear near the courtyard and follow me?"

His subordinates usually hid in the dark to eat, drink and have fun, so how could they be seen so clearly? However, he had actually seen Shen Rou a few times, going back and forth a few times on the way to the courtyard.

"Sir, it's her. I see her often. I originally thought she was just a village girl. I didn't think too much about it at first, but I really didn't know she wanted to harm you, sir."

Lu Cailiang's men wanted to live two more days with him, so he could only drag Shen Rou to take the blame for the Lu family's affairs.

While Shen Qingzhou was dealing with the guests at the main table, he was also observing the chess game he was playing.

The chess piece is full of resentment and has already found its place to make its move. As long as Lu Cailiang makes a move, the rest of Shen Rou's life will be filled with endless torture.

The banquet looked lively on the surface, but secretly, there were subtle disturbances hidden within.

As soon as Shen Wanyi arrived, Madam Qu arranged for her to sit next to her. She patiently picked up food for Shen Wanyi and wiped her mouth, loving her as if she were her own granddaughter.

"Madam Qu, you like children too?"

The person who asked this question was Aunt Jiang. She originally thought that since Mrs. Qu was of noble status, she would not like other people's children to stay around her.

But after seeing how much Madam Qu liked Shen Wanyi, he instantly felt that the county magistrate's mother was approachable and easy to talk to.

"Yes, at my age, I love children the most. It's just that my father Yuanxun is so busy every day that he hasn't married yet. Otherwise, I wouldn't be lonely every day."

Madam Qu was just being polite. How could it be possible that Qu Yuanxun really couldn't get married?

“Don’t worry, old lady. We see that Mr. Qu is handsome and a high-ranking official. Perhaps many women like him without your knowledge.

If it weren't for Mr. Qu's sharp vision and desire to marry a wife, for Mr. Qu, this would be no easier than the official business of the county government."

Several people talked to each other. According to common sense, getting married should be a very simple thing for Qu Yuanxun.

But it would be difficult for Mrs. Qu to find someone who matched his status and whom Qu Yuanxun liked.

Maybe her son never wants to marry again in his life, so as long as Qu Yuanxun likes her, she doesn't care about her status.

But the most important thing is that she must be given a few grandchildren, the more the better.

"Every family has its own problems. If there is a woman willing to marry a hero, I, with my old bones, will immediately arrange the wedding ceremony."

Everyone was amused by Madam Qu's words, and they all knew that she said this deliberately to make fun of the county magistrate.

Lin Lin didn't know how many times she had heard Mrs. Qu say this. This was just Mrs. Qu's way of complaining to Qu Yuanxun.

But the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Shen Rou doesn't think so.

Ever since she sat down, her eyes have been on Qu Yuanxun, the man who was complimented by everyone.

Not only was he full of official authority and integrity, but every move he made, whether eating or talking, was so elegant. She had never seen such an outstanding man before.

Isn't this the kind of man I've always wanted to marry?

Talented, handsome and elegant, no matter how she looked at him, Qu Yuanxun gave her the impression of being a very good-tempered and family-oriented person.

If I could marry him, even if there is no love between us, we will definitely treat each other with respect.

As she thought about it, Shen Rou suddenly had a bold idea in her mind, and she suddenly felt that she had awakened.

How long would it take for her father to become an official? She could wait, but her age also couldn't afford to wait.

It would be better for her to marry a high-ranking official so that she could become the wife of a county magistrate. If she succeeds, her whole family will also benefit.
