The housekeeper, accompanied by two strong servants, walked over calmly, "Miss, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place today. Today is a big wedding for the Zheng family, but since you're already here, you can't be kicked out. We can arrange a table for you nearby so you can share in the celebration..."

Then, at his eye signal, the two servants immediately walked towards Yun Zhenzhen.

Yun Zhenzhen cleverly dodged the question: "I originally wanted to see what your Zheng family is like, but I didn't expect that with such an attitude towards hospitality, you still want to become our relatives. It's simply a daydream. Zheng Yuanwai, if you are sensible, hand over my nephew now, otherwise don't blame me for not giving your family face."

What she said was very straightforward, but her flamboyant appearance made the guests around her inexplicably convinced.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering who this girl who suddenly appeared was.

Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng looked at each other and then took a deep breath. They knew that today's matter might not end well, and they wanted to make a quick decision. They didn't know what made this person so arrogant?

But as long as the Zheng family still wants to marry into the Yun family, they can't make things too awkward with them, otherwise her daughter will probably be criticized in the future.

But in front of so many guests, he didn't want to be humble in front of this woman. This was related to the reputation of their entire Zheng family.

He stood up solemnly, then walked towards Yun Zhenzhen and spoke softly, "Our Zheng family is a wealthy and powerful family after all. Although your nephew has won the first place in the list, he has nothing from his background now. It wouldn't be unfair to him to marry him with us. Why do you have to force him so hard..."

"What Mr. Zheng said is wrong, isn't it?" Yun Zhenzhen said indifferently, "Even if it's a marriage, both sets of parents should know about it before the betrothal is arranged. You've just snatched my nephew away without informing us. Even if we're just ordinary people, we can't stand such an insult."

Seeing this, Madam Zheng hurried over and began to persuade him, "How can this be considered an insult? If he ever manages to enter the officialdom, he'll inevitably need to bribe people with various means. How can he do that without money? We are also thinking about his future. Don't shorten your nephew's career."

Yun Zhenzhen stood three steps away from the couple, then faced the guests, thinking about her words.

If this happened in the village, the men in the village would be able to help without her asking. But now they are far away in Yuzhou, and only Ning Shan and I are with them. They are definitely no match for the local tyrants.

But sometimes killing doesn't necessarily require bloodshed; all it takes is the proper use of public opinion...

While she was thinking, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

The doorman shouted loudly: "The governor has arrived!"

Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng were both shocked. They had sent visiting cards to the governor before when there were happy events in their family, but he had never come. Why would he come today?

Could it be that he knew his brother-in-law was at the top of the list this year, so he came here specifically to support them? This is simply a great thing!

Although the Zheng family has the title of "Yuanwai", they are essentially businessmen, and the governor is the real boss of the state. If he is willing to come to the Zheng family to show support, then the status of their family will be greatly improved.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng immediately turned around and went out to greet them.

Not only them, but even the guests in the banquet hall were stunned. They stood up hurriedly and stood respectfully on both sides waiting.

Soon, a man in a dark blue robe walked in. Many people present had seen the governor and recognized him immediately.

The Zheng couple hurriedly stepped forward with a bow, "Your humble servant greets the Governor. Your arrival truly brings honor to our Zheng Mansion. Please take a seat."

As he said this, he gave a warning to Yun Zhenzhen behind him. If she dared to cause trouble in front of the governor, don't blame him for disregarding their relationship and directly breaking up with her.

The governor said calmly, "Everyone, please don't be shy. I heard that Ruyi'an was here. Since she was willing to attend the banquet, it means that your Zheng family is quite talented. That's why I hurried over here. I didn't prepare any good gifts. I hope Mr. Zheng won't mind."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was stunned.

Ruyi'anren!!!

Everyone present was familiar with this name.

A commoner was personally appointed as an imperial official by the emperor, and in just half a year he was promoted two levels of rank, even higher than the county magistrate.

Everyone had only heard of her name, but had never had the chance to see her in person.

But from what the governor said, could it be that Ruyi Anren is also coming to attend the Zheng family's dinner today?

That's not right. When did the Zheng family have such a big face? According to their past behavior, if they could get in touch with Ruyi'an, they would probably want to spread the news to everyone. How come no one of them got the news?

The guests scanned everywhere, trying to find Ruyi'an.

Madam Zheng and Mr. Zheng were completely confused. They didn't even know Ruyi Anren, let alone invite her here. "Sir Governor, what do you mean by this?"

"Rui Yi An Ren, I didn't expect to see you again today after we last met."

The governor smiled and looked in Yun Zhenzhen's direction, his eyes full of kindness.

Yun Zhenzhen stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Your Excellency the Governor. It is a fate that we meet today."

"Oh, we're already old acquaintances. There's no need to be so polite." The Governor gave her a false hand and said, "Although my rank is higher than yours, we already know each other. We can't always perform this kind of formality when we meet in the future. So, forget it."

The interaction between the two was seen by the onlookers, and the people around them were stunned and stood there, unable to react.

Especially Mr. Zheng and his wife, their bodies froze, unable to believe what they saw. The guests who were watching the fun also woke up as if from a dream.

"So this is Ruyi Anren. Seeing is believing. I didn't expect she is so young."

"I have met Ruyi'an!"

"Forgive me for not recognizing you. Taishan didn't recognize you just now. Please don't hold it against us for being rude!"

"This Ruyi'an looks so kind and young. No wonder we didn't think she was the famous Ruyi'an. We didn't expect that someone so young could come up with such a powerful strategy for governing the country."

"Who says she isn't? She has so many powerful methods, but she didn't keep them to herself. Even the newly discovered salt lake in their village was reportedly told directly to the higher-ups by her..."
