The Lord of Pingle County made himself a pot of tea, and his every move showed the elegance of the County Lord.
But the meanness and hostility on her face made people run cold down their backs.
When the Lord of Pingle County looked at him, he felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
Tonight is the Lantern Festival dinner in the palace. At this time in the past, she would stay with her grandmother and accept the flattery of everyone.
She can confidently say that no princess or princess is as beautiful as her.
But this year, after waiting for a long time, there was no message from the palace.
She couldn't help but inquire about it, and it turned out that her suggestion had spread to the palace.
The empress in the palace felt that she was shameless and could not stand up to the public, and was afraid that she would lead the princess astray, so she did not send her any messages.
She felt a huge anger in her heart, but she didn't dare to vent it to the empress in the palace, so she thought of the culprit of everything.
If it weren't for Fu Zhao, she wouldn't be in the predicament she is in now.
Now she has such a bad reputation that even her favorite cousin doesn't want her and has canceled his marriage to her.
And her voice, which she had always been proud of, was also destroyed in that fire.
She rarely speaks to people now.
Only in front of his close friend, Mr. He, did he talk more.
He was silent when she looked at Lord Pingle. She pursed her lips and sat down on the chair opposite to Lord Pingle.
The Lord of Pingle County poured a bowl of tea for He, and then said slowly: "I have already investigated, and they still want to go to the temple. Wouldn't it be easier to wait until they leave the capital to do it?"
However, He was still a little unsure.
The last few times he tried to plot against Fu Zhao, Fu Zhao escaped. This time, the He family was not completely sure.
"Alian, what are you worried about?" Pingle County Lord's eyes were sharp, and he immediately penetrated He's thoughts.
He hesitated before speaking, "I'm afraid... she's too cunning and we'll miss again."
The head of Pingle County said sternly: "Ah Huan, why do you say such depressing words? You are afraid of missing something, so you don't just have to put all your efforts into it. This time, she will never be able to turn over."
He's eyelashes trembled and she nodded silently.
Thinking of Song Ren, He softened his heart again.
No matter how bad Song Ren is, he is still her relative.
If he failed at this time, Song Ren would definitely have no good end.
Seeing the hesitant look on He's face, Pingle County Lord really hated the iron.
Now that her temper has been tempered a bit, if it had been in the past, she would definitely have held He's ears and had a good talk with He.
How can such a timid person achieve great things?
The head of Pingle County slapped the table, attracting Mr. He's attention, and then said: "Since you are afraid, then leave everything to me. If anything happens, I will bear the responsibility."
He muttered: "That's not what I meant..."
"Okay, don't say anything else." Pingle County Lord interrupted her impatiently.
He lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
If the people in the Hou Mansion saw He's appearance, they would definitely be surprised.
Yin Xiang was waiting behind Mr. He and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
She secretly thought that if He could show weakness in front of Chen Xin and give in, He and Chen Xin would not be where they are today.
If He was as docile in front of Chen Xin as he was in front of Pingle County Lord, then Yueji mother and son would not be afraid at all.
But He was definitely unwilling. Yin Xiang looked away and looked down at the toes of his shoes.

Fu Zhao returned to the Marquis Mansion and got off the carriage. Mrs. Cong came out to greet her.
Today, Mrs. Cong is also wearing plain clothes.
The two of them walked inside together.
As she walked, Mrs. Cong said: "Although we have invited people to come to our house today to perform rituals, we still have to go to the temple. You have been out for so long, your mother-in-law won't say anything, right?"
Fu Zhao replied: "No, she has to go to the palace tonight and doesn't care when I go back to the Hou Mansion."
When she heard the word "enter the palace", Mrs. Cong stared in surprise.
I'm afraid she will never have the chance to enter the palace once in her life.
After walking a few steps, Fu Zhao saw servants coming in and out of Gao Zicen's yard.
Gao Zicen likes purity, so he will definitely be unhappy if so many people come and go.
Fu Zhao opened his mouth and was about to say something when he remembered that Gao Zicen had already left the Fu family.
She couldn't help but laugh to herself.
Mrs. Cong looked at the courtyard where Gao Zicen lived, then looked at the strange smile on Fu Zhao's face, and asked, "Zhao Zhao, what's wrong with you?"
Fu Zhao took a deep look at the courtyard where Gao Zicen lived, and replied calmly: "Nothing."
Mrs. Cong pursed her lips and did not continue to ask.
Today is a special day. People say that twins have a close connection. Fu Zhao must be the most uncomfortable.
Cong took Fu Zhao's hand and led her inside.
For today, Mr. Fu also took leave and stayed at home, wearing a dark robe.
Because Fu Zhao was a married woman, she sat in Cong's house and watched Fu Yi sitting on the couch and playing.
After a while, Fu Songzhou also came over.
Fu Songzhou was young, so when there were more people, Mrs. Cong was afraid that the caregiver would not be able to see her, so she asked Fu Songzhou to come over.
Fu Songzhou pouted dissatisfiedly.
Fu Zhao pulled Fu Songzhou to him and asked softly: "Brother Zhou, what's wrong? Where did you feel wronged?"
Fu Songzhou said: "I am no longer a child, but mother still treats me as one. Saying that I am here is just causing trouble."
Fu Zhao touched Fu Songzhou's head and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
In his last life, when his family was in the most difficult time, Fu Songzhou was forced to grow up and take on responsibilities for his family.
If possible, Fu Zhao does not want Fu Songzhou to grow up so early.
Not hearing what Fu Zhao said, Fu Songzhou raised his head in confusion and happened to see the sadness on Fu Zhao's face.
Fu Songzhou remembered what day it was today.
Mr. Cong also told him that his aunt felt sad and that he should pay more attention to her.
Fu Songzhou opened his arms and hugged Fu Zhao fiercely.
Fu Zhao was stunned and heard Fu Songzhou pretend to be old-fashioned and say: "Auntie, I will protect you from now on!"
Fu Zhao felt warm in her heart and sore in her throat. She hugged Fu Songzhou back, "Okay, from now on I will completely rely on Brother Zhou."
Fu Songzhou said seriously: "I am my aunt's biological family, so aunt can rest assured and rely on me."
Fu Zhao also stopped laughing and nodded seriously.
The two chatted for a while, then they heard the sound of doing rituals and chanting sutras not far away.
The two fell silent, and even Fu Yi remained silent and sat quietly.
In the afternoon, after Mr. Cong put Fu Yi to sleep and settled Fu Songzhou, they were about to go to the temple.
Mr. Fu had something important to do outside, so he had to go out and could not follow Fu Zhao and the others to the temple.
