Gu Yin didn't look familiar to him. She was not a wife or a young lady from a noble family in Beijing, and she looked averagely dressed. Although she didn't know Gu Yin's identity for a while.

But subconsciously, he thought that he was a servant working in the mansion just like Chen Lu, and his attitude was naturally not to give in.

What's more, a woman, what qualifications does she have to do this?

"This is between me and Chen Lu, get out of the way." The man in front of him said in warning.

Zhulan appeared in time at this time, with an equally fierce attitude: "How presumptuous! This is our county chief!"

County Lord?

Where did the county lord come from?

Although there are not many county heads in Da Rong, there are also quite a few.

Some are the daughters of military commanders, and some are the daughters of aristocratic families.

There are only two county heads with real high status, one in the Duke's Mansion and one in the General's Mansion. They are all because of their powerful family backgrounds. The emperor specially named the county heads to the young ladies in the house. They are titled county heads.

As for the others, there is no need to be so afraid, they are just empty names.

The person in front of him was almost a stranger to him.

And his master is a high-ranking official, so why should he be afraid of a county owner who only has a title.

What's more, several county heads only granted titles to some minor generals with military merits. The emperor was unwilling to delegate too much power, so he would grant titles like this.

Military generals are inferior to civilian officials in the army.

"I am Tian Ding, the great steward of Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Finance. Today I went out with Lord Shangshu to attend the Glaze Banquet. Sir, I am at the auction house, and I am here to purchase some items needed by the mansion." Tian Ding said with an arrogant look: "Who knows what's going on? I happened to meet Chen Lu here."

"I took a fancy to this glass vase. I wanted to buy it from Shangshu Mansion and send it to our old lady's yard. Chen Lufei wanted to snatch it, saying that he also liked this glass vase."

Tian Ding explained the matter briefly.

Then he looked at Gu Yin and said with a half-smile: "I don't know if this is the county master's intention or Chen Lu's own intention. Since the county master is not around, I guess he is not the county master."

"Do you think the County Lord should buy this glass vase from our Shangshu Mansion or let him, Chen Lu, buy it?"

Gu Yin glanced at Chen Lu.

Chen Lu's face was a little ugly, and there was a bit of surprise in his expression.

"Chen Lu, what's going on?" Gu Yin asked with a warm tone.

Chen Lu frowned tightly, a little confused.

He didn't expect that Tian Ding was now working in the Shangshu Mansion. They were both from the same government at first, but later he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Tian Ding was not selected into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but was arranged to go elsewhere.

He was quite capable, and in a short period of time, he became a big manager in Shangshu Mansion.

He pulled the flag of Shangshufu.

He didn't know whether the county lord would suffer a loss in the future against Shangshu Mansion.

Moreover, he was just a servant, and the county master would not necessarily offend the Shangshu Mansion just because of a glass vase.

Chen Lu didn't know what to say for a moment.

The smile on Tian Ding's face was triumphant.

Sure enough, when it came to Shangshu Mansion, Chen Lu looked like this, and he dared to challenge him just now.

Tian Ding said maliciously from the side: "Chen Lu was originally a big steward in the mansion. He committed a crime and was demoted to a minor steward. He did some things outside the mansion. The county master should think about it carefully. .”

Chen Lu looked at Gu Yin nervously.

Gu Yin seemed to have not heard Chen Lu's words and asked Chen Lu seriously: "Chen Lu, just tell me the truth about what happened at that time. I can make my own judgment."
