Chapter 30 Confrontation
On September 23, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless.

Yayoi got up early and made all the arrangements before setting off with Aqi.When they arrived at the gate of the County Chancellor's Mansion, they saw Zhou Yanyan get off the carriage with a smile on her face.

Today she was wearing a chrysanthemum-pattern top, embroidered with delicate petals and leaves, and she was wearing a white short jacket, the color of silk matched with ivory, and she stood pretty, like a jade phoenix in the autumn wind. .

"Asheng!" She saw Yayoi and hurriedly greeted him.

It was rare for Yayoi not to wear the plain government uniform today, but white clothes and white skirt, a plain snow silk skirt, matched with a jasper hairpin and emerald tassels on her head, she just felt like a person made of snow, so cold Like the world.Seeing Zhou Yanyan trotting over, she raised her lips and smiled, as a greeting.

"Ah Sheng! Why are you dressed so nicely today?" Zhou Yanyan ran up to her, looked Yayoi up and down, and laughed.

"It's okay." Yayoi looked at her skirt, "it seems a little too plain."

Zhou Yanyan circled around Yayoi, "This style, this color, I think the entire Fuliang County—no, even the entire Yingzhou, there is no one that can beat you!"

Yayoi smiled slightly.

Zhou Yanyan took Yayoi's hand and excitedly dragged her into the county magistrate's mansion.The gatekeeper knew that she was the sister-in-law of the county magistrate, and warmly welcomed her in.

"I haven't seen my sister for another three months." Zhou Yanyan's voice concealed a trace of depression, "My sister is more than ten years older than me, and my mother is sick all the year round. The elder sister is like a mother. I have been brought up by her."

Yayoi knew that she felt a sense of homelessness, so he didn't say anything, but just held her hand.

"When I was young, I only remember that we moved here from a far away place. The house was much smaller, and there were a lot fewer people in the house—sister, I'm not as happy as before."

Zhou Yanyan's head lowered even more, her voice murmured like a gnat.

"Yayoi, I think my sister is waiting for someone, so she's an old girl, and she doesn't want to get married." After a long silence, Zhou Yanyan suddenly turned her head to look at Yayoi, her eyes sparkling.

"Waiting for someone?" Yayoi asked back.

"I don't know who he is...but before my sister got married this year, she hugged me and cried and cried. She didn't want to." Zhou Yanyan has always been flamboyant, but when she talked about her sister, she couldn't help it. It was full of sadness and distress, "But what can I do? I heard her say, he won't come, he won't come."

"Your sister...she'll be fine." Yayoi stroked Zhou Yanyan's back, comforting her somewhat stiffly.

Zhou Yanyan turned her head to look at the garden of the county magistrate's mansion, red lanterns were hung everywhere, and the maids came and went, "Yes... I think this county magistrate's mansion... really treats my sister well."

Yayoi embraced her again, but didn't make another sound.

Just as they were talking, the two had already passed through the Chuihua Gate and entered the backyard of the County Chancellor's Mansion.

The backyard was bustling and full of people.The magistrate of the county doted on his wife, and on her birthday, all the female relatives of the county's respectable families were invited to celebrate her birthday, which was really enviable.

Seeing so many people, Zhou Yanyan, who was emotional and sad, disappeared without a trace.She pulled Yayoi to each other, smiling like a flower, coaxing the hearts of all the female relatives on the field.

As they walked forward, there was a maid who introduced them to them.After walking in front of a proud woman dressed in exquisite and rich clothes, the servant girl introduced: "This is the eldest lady of the He family." Then she introduced to Mrs. He: "This is the second lady of the Zhou family, and this is the Shen arrester of the Fuliang County Yamen. head."

Yayoi felt Zhou Yanyan tremble slightly—this was the eldest wife of the He family, her future mother-in-law!

Mrs. He also recognized Zhou Yanyan.She originally thought that the Zhou family's daughter married to her He family was Gao Pan, a girl from a merchant's family, who did not help her son's promotion, and would have to be laughed at in the noble women's circle in the future!It's a pity that the husband tried his best to facilitate this matter, and the son also felt that the girl from the Zhou family was beautiful and pleasing, so she had no choice but to agree.During this meeting, she sized Zhou Yanyan up and down, and snorted coldly: "So this is the second young lady of the Zhou family."

She thought that the other party was married to her family, and now seeing her as the future mother-in-law, she must be flattering and serve her carefully.Who would have thought that pretty girl just glanced at her, turned around and left without even saying hello!
"You are bold!—" Mrs. He felt a few eyes staring at her, she felt extremely ashamed and indignant, she quickly scolded, seeing Zhou Yanyan turned around again, she closed her mouth again.

"This Mrs. He, today is my sister's birthday, please pay attention to the occasion." Zhou Yanyan had no expression on her face, and she directly taught her a lesson.The words are serious and embarrassing.

Knowing that she always wanted to offend Madam He, Yayoi broke off the engagement as soon as possible.But she was also worried that if the marriage contract kept counting, after she married into the He family, she might have no good fruit to eat.

Mrs. He trembled with anger: "How dare you say such things to me!"

"Why dare not?" Zhou Yanyan's tone became more mocking, intending to provoke her.She didn't like the He family in the first place, and this Mrs. He's attitude was disgusting from the beginning. She has been a fearless master since she was a child, so she simply expressed her attitude, "You are not my elder, but You have not done me any favors, and you look down on me so much, why should I respect you?"

"I - you -" Mrs. He was dizzy with anger, and the maid hurriedly pulled her back, and she slowly calmed down.Since ancient times, there has been no reason for an unmarried daughter-in-law to be angry with her future mother-in-law. She really doesn't make sense today!
Zhou Yanyan looked at her with her arms around her, quite condescending.

Mrs. He forced herself not to look at her, turned around and left.When she passed the door, I had a reason to clean her up!The Shen Butou next to her looked chillingly cold, so he must not be a good person!Sure enough, sluts just hang out with sluts!

Zhou Yanyan looked at her back and sneered: "It's just a side branch of the He family in the capital. She thinks that she will become the emperor when she arrives in Fuliang County. She dares to show me such a face. She thinks her son is a sweet potato." , but I think he is not as good as Zheng Da, who sells pork in Dongcheng."

Yayoi watched silently from the sidelines from the beginning to the end. Hearing Zhou Yanyan say this, she was a little surprised and said, "Have you checked him?"

Zhou Yanyan nodded, "I can't just marry someone who doesn't know the details. He Luping gave birth to a maidservant at the age of 15, and even became a frequent visitor of Tianxiang Tower when he entered the capital. coward."

Yayoi nodded in agreement: "If you find a way, you must break the engagement."

Zhou Yanyan suddenly smiled, and turned to look at her: "Seriously! A Sheng, you are jealous, smart and brave. I think he is not even one ten-thousandth as good as you! How about it? Or, you will be promoted in the future!" Officer, should I follow you?"

Yayoi was about to scold her as a "poor mouth", but saw someone pushing the door and coming out from the pavilion inside the Hanging Flower Gate, facing the water to see the beautiful flowers.
