The next day, Pan Jinlian dressed up again after leaving the martial arts university and went to Grandma Wang's tea house.
She began to work, but her mind was not on this at all. Instead, she was thinking about how to escape to the backyard.
In her heart, she scolded Granny Wang for being so blind. She actually stayed in the room for a long time today. She couldn't find an excuse.
Finally, after a while, Granny Wang left. Pan Jinlian walked towards the backyard again and came to the side of the courtyard wall. She peeked through the gap in the courtyard where Lu Yuanfei had been yesterday, but she saw nothing. Lu Yuanfei's figure was not in the courtyard at all.
"Sir…"
She called out softly, but no one responded.
She was greatly disappointed.
For the next few days, she would get rid of Granny Wang at the teahouse and run to the courtyard every day.
However, he didn't see Lu Yuanfei even once.
This day was already the fifth day. Pan Jinlian was furious. She could not help but hate Lu Yuanfei. She did not go to the backyard and just stayed in her room to make clothes.
As she was sitting, she heard footsteps coming from outside the room. Grandma Wong's duck voice sounded,"Ah, isn't this Lord Ximen? What a rare guest, what brings you here?”
Pan Jinlian immediately put down the waiter in her hand, mistakenly thinking that Lu Yuan had flown over.
Although Pan Jinlian was very unhappy because Lu Yuanfei had not appeared for the past few days, she was still a little happy when she heard that he had come.
"He hasn't been around these past few days, but he came looking for me today. When I meet him later, not only did I ask him where he has been these past few days, he actually left me here.”
She thought to herself.
With a creak, the door was pushed open. Granny Wang walked in first and said,"Wifey, Lord Ximen is here. Didn't he want to thank us for making the clothes? So he wants to set up a table of wine and dishes as a form of thanks.”
"Godmother, in that case, let him in.”Pan Jinlian said.
With that, the impatient Ximen Qing hurriedly walked in and bowed with a smile,""Wifey, we meet again."
"Have we met before? And you are?"
When Pan Jinlian saw that it was not Lu Yuanfei but another person, she was shocked.
"Wifey is really forgetful. A few days ago, your pole accidentally hit me. Wifey and I even exchanged a few words.”Ximen Qing said.
Granny Wang said," This is the West Gate Official that I often mentioned to you. Even if Wifey didn't know him before, this old woman will introduce him to you today. You two should know him."”
Hearing Grandma Wang's words, Pan Jinlian immediately understood that he had misunderstood. From the beginning, he had thought that Lu Yuanfei was Ximen Qing.
Pan Jinlian's expression darkened when she saw that the person who came was not the person she wanted to see.
"Godmother, why did you bring this person in?”Pan Jinlian asked angrily.
Granny Wang said,"Didn't I say a few days ago that we would help make clothes for Lord Ximen? Lord Ximen will hold a banquet to thank us." Didn't you say you wanted to see the high-ranking official?”
"When did I say I wanted to see him?" Pan Jinlian asked.”
The person she was meeting was Lu Yuanfei, not Ximen Qing." There's no need for thanks. Since I've agreed, I'll definitely make this dress."”
Grandma Wang saw Pan Jinlian's cold words and how she disliked Ximen Qing. She was afraid that she would anger Ximen Qing, so she quickly pulled Pan Jinlian to the side and whispered,"This is because you are not sensible. Do you know who this is? He is the most powerful man in Qinghe County, Ximen. He has connections with the government.”
"You should be careful with your words. Don't offend him. If you really anger him, he will use a little trick and you will be in trouble.”
Pan Jinlian was only focused on Lu Yuanfei right now. She didn't care about anyone else. Even Ximen Qing couldn't compare to Lu Yuanfei.
She frowned and said,"Godmother, I'm not interested in this thank-you meal. You should let her go."”
Granny Wang said," What are you talking about? In my opinion, no matter how much you force yourself, you have to eat this meal. How can you not give face to the big official?"”
"Alright then."
Pan Jinlian forced herself to sit down, and Granny Wang tested the color on Ximen Qing.
Ximen Qing hurriedly sat down and poured a glass of wine for Pan Jinlian. He said,""This lowly one has come this time to thank Wifey for her skillful hands. Wifey is willing to help make clothes, this lowly one is endlessly grateful.”
Seeing that Pan Jinlian was unmoved and did not drink the wine he poured, he was a little unhappy.
Grandma Wang quickly advised Pan Jinlian,"This is the wine that the Lord is offering. Drink it quickly. The Lord is watching."”
Due to Ximen Qing's influence, Pan Jinlian could only drink one cup.
After a while, Granny Wang said,"Aiya, why is this jug empty? Please sit down for a while and wait for me to get some wine."”
Grandma Wang carried the wine pot and quickly walked out of the room, leaving Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing inside.
She closed the door, took out a lock, and actually locked it.
Then, he leisurely put the wine pot aside and sat at the entrance of the teahouse to munch on melon seeds.
Only Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing were left in the room. Pan Jinlian quickly stood up and sat by the door. She wanted to open the door but found that it did not budge. She panicked.
Ever since Pan Jinlian had gotten rid of Lu Yuanfei, her standards had become higher.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to find water after passing through the sea, except for Wushan Mountain, it is not a cloud. That was exactly the case.
Ximen Qing's external conditions were not bad, but compared to Lu Yuanfei, he could not help but pale in comparison. Pan Jinlian naturally did not like him.
Seeing the woman's reaction, Ximen Qing couldn't help but be angry. There had never been anyone who dared to reject him.
……
On the other side, after Ximen Qing walked into the teahouse, Lu Yuanfei went to find Brother Yun, who was selling pears.
