Chapter 182: Shooting yourself in the foot

 Wu Manyun couldn't help but feel sour in her heart when she saw that she had become so noble and extraordinary.

Even though Shen Jintang was prettier than her from the beginning, the former Shen Jintang was a fool.

Standing together with Shen Jintang, she always felt a sense of superiority.

But now Shen Jintang is no longer stupid.

Not only is he much higher than her in terms of status, but his appearance and temperament are also miles ahead of her.

A person who has always been inferior to herself is now better than herself in everything. Wu Manyun feels sour in her heart and bitter in her mouth.

Now that Shen Jintang was ignoring her, the injustice in her heart deepened, and she couldn't help but say: "My cousin's status is really different now, her eyes have grown to the top of her head, and she doesn't look down on common people like us anymore. ”< /p>

Shen Jintang felt funny when she heard this, but she had been tired all day and was too lazy to talk to Wu Manyun. She just raised her almond-shaped eyes and glanced at Wu Manyun casually.

When Wu Manyun saw this, her heart became cold, and then she felt a coldness running from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.

She subconsciously turned her face away to avoid Shen Jintang's gaze.

Immediately after realizing what he had done, an unknown fire surged up, but he did not have the guts to find trouble again, so he could only sit aside and grit his teeth secretly.

Entering the main hall from Shen Jintang, Wu Jingshu was watching her silently.

Seeing her at this time, Wu Manyun was frightened by just an understatement in her eyes, and she couldn't help but re-examine Shen Jintang.

Her idiot cousin is indeed different from before.

She already knew this when she lured all of them into the pond by herself when the Wu family was playing tricks on the blind.

But now she has changed even more than before.

Two or three years have passed, although at first glance Shen Jintang's appearance has not changed much.

But the feeling is different.

She is noble, elegant, and aloof, becoming a truly famous lady.

There is an air of admiration and admiration in every gesture.

Now she has become an unattainable cloud, while she and Wu Manyun seem to have become mud on the ground.

This comparison made Wu Jingshu's heart tremble, and she couldn't help but feel a helpless frustration.

Then Wu Jingshu felt unconvinced and jealous from the bottom of her heart.

Wu Jingshu lowered her eyes and adjusted her emotions.

Then he smiled without saying anything, looked at Shen Jintang and said, "I heard from my aunt that my cousin opened a medical clinic, so your medical skills must be very good?"

That being said, Wu Jingshu actually disagreed deeply in her heart.

Shen Jintang is not older than her, and after all, he was a fool before.

Many people have been apprentices in medical clinics for half their lives, but they are still not able to open a medical clinic on their own. Where did Shen Jintang get her ability?

Maybe she just opened a medical clinic and hired a doctor under her father's official name.

When Shen Jintang heard this, he nodded lightly and said, "It's okay."

She's doing okay, which sounds extremely modest to people who know her good medical skills.

But to the ears of Wu Jingshu and others, she was not humble at all, and even a little complacent and arrogant.

Wu Jingshu couldn't help but twitch her lips. She didn't want to see Shen Jintang looking proud and proud at all.

I couldn't help but want to expose her lie, and let the pride on her face shatter to pieces.

Wu Jingshu: "I happen to be feeling a little unwell these days. Can you please help my cousin to check if I have any disease?"

When Shen Jintang heard this, he glanced at her with a half-smile, knowing through her tricks.

This Wu Jingshu is indeed a little bit smarter than the impulsive and arrogant Wu Manyun who doesn't know how to use her brain.

Shen Jintang nodded and said calmly: "Then please extend your hand, cousin."

Wu Jingshu heard this and couldn't wait to stretch out her arms.

She was sitting only one person away from Shen Jintang, Wu Manyun, so neither of them needed to move.

Shen Jintang pulled up the gauze covering her snow-white wrist, and placed his slender fingers on her wrist with a slight coolness.

Wu Jingshu couldn't help but flinch.

When the others saw Shen Jintang checking Wu Jingshu's pulse in a pretentious manner, they couldn't help but think to themselves, it really looks like that.

I just don’t know what she will say if I take my pulse soon.

After a while, Shen Jintang withdrew his hand.

Seeing this, Wu Jingshu quickly asked: "Cousin Jintang, how is my health?"

Shen Jintang smiled faintly and said, "Cousin, I have to find more things for myself to do every day, otherwise I will overthink and the best medicine will not be able to cure me."

This means that Wu Jingshu actually has nothing wrong with her. The main reason is that she is too idle and likes to think about nothing, which is why she feels uncomfortable.

When Wu Jingshu heard this, her pretty face turned red.

She was angry and angry, how could she not hear that Shen Jintang meant that she had deep thoughts?

But she said that she was not feeling well and asked Shen Jintang to show it to her. It was hard for her to refute it at this time.

This is the second time Wu Jingshu has experienced the feeling of shooting herself in the foot with Shen Jintang.

The first time was when I fell into the pond.

She originally wanted to push Shen Jintang into the pond and make her look embarrassed. In the end, everyone except Shen Jintang fell into the pond and made a big fool of herself.

This time she wanted to expose Shen Jintang's lie that he knew medical skills, but she was slapped in the face again by Shen Jintang.

Wu Jingshu gritted her teeth with hatred, but did not dare to show it on her face.

She is no longer the Wu Jingshu she used to be.

Shen Jintang is not the same Shen Jintang who was a fool and would not say a word even if he was bullied.

At this time, Shen Mu finally left the Yamen. After hearing the report from the servants, he came to the main hall without even having time to change his official uniform.

As soon as he appeared, the main hall, which had been silent, immediately became lively.

"Hello, brother-in-law." Wu Jun and Wu Kai quickly stood up and greeted Shen Mu.

When Shen Mu was just a poor scholar and teacher, the two of them didn't even bother to look at him.

Now I look at him in official uniform and official hat, looking very majestic. I just want to please and get close to him, but there is no trace of the dislike I felt in the past.

"Shen Mu is back." Mr. Wu originally wanted to show off his father-in-law's profile, but when he saw the majestic Shen Mu in official uniform, he subconsciously stood up.

He took the initiative to put on a smile and say hello.

Shen Mu smiled faintly and said in a neither eager nor distant manner: "Father-in-law."

Old Mrs. Wu was also ignored by him.

Mrs. Wu's smiling face suddenly froze.

She knew that because she was not very good to Wu Qiuniang, and because she had previously wanted Wu Qiuniang to reconcile with him, both Shen Mu and Wu Qiuniang had a grudge against her.

After all, we’re not close! Mrs. Wu thought bitterly.

Soon after Shen Mu sat down, the dishes were quickly served.

Wu Jun looked at the two plates of silkworm chrysalis that came up. He couldn't help but look at Shen Mu in surprise and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so polite. You even used such expensive silkworm chrysalis to entertain us. You also served two plates."

Nowadays, Shen Jintang’s silkworm chrysalises are selling like hotcakes.

In many places, demand simply exceeds supply, and prices have been driven up to prices that many people cannot afford.
