After Xie Yunjin finished speaking, she ordered Steward Xiao and Zhou Shaogong: "You go separately to find those tea farmers and let them come out to make trouble."

Butler Xiao said worriedly: "What if they don't want to come out and make trouble?"

Xie Yunjin thought for a while and said, "For those who are willing to come out to make trouble, twenty taels of silver per family, remember not to reveal your identities."

Xie Yun would like to do this to prevent people from falling into the trap, and let Zhifu Lin find a way to counter him.

Housekeeper Xiao and Zhou Shaogong immediately left in response.

The next day, Uncle Ning's 50th birthday, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao went to Ningbo's mansion to have a banquet together. On the way, Xie Yunjin worriedly told Lu Jiao: "You are pregnant, be careful today."

Lu Jiao nodded, looked at Xie Yunjin and said, "Don't worry about me, no accident, the person they are dealing with today is you, so you have to be careful everywhere, and be careful not to fall into their schemes."

The reason why Xie Yunjin came to the banquet today was to see how the Ning family and Zhifu Lin planned to plot against him, and then counterattacked.

Right now, besides cultivating rice, the thing he wants to do the most is to get rid of Prefect Lin. If he doesn't get rid of this person, it will be too annoying.

Xie Yunjin held Lu Jiao's hand while thinking: "Don't worry, I will be careful. I am not worried about myself, but I am worried about you. In fact, what I mean is that you don't want to go to the banquet."

In the end, Xie Yun wanted someone to send Lu Jiao back.

Lu Jiao looked firmly at Xie Yunjin and said, "I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen to you, maybe I can protect you here."

After hearing Lu Jiao's words, Xie Yunjin felt an indescribably warm and soft heart, and he stretched out his arms to hug Lu Jiao's body.

"Jiaojiao, meeting you is the greatest blessing in my life. Thank you for always being with me."

Lu Jiao laughed, and said with a little Aojiao: "It's good to know, treat me well in the future, and don't give me those tricks."

After some people climbed to high positions, they got carried away with joy and forgot about their first wives at home.

Of course, Lu Jiao believed that Xie Yunjin was not that kind of person, so she just said it casually.

But Xie Yunjin took it seriously, and raised his hand to swear: "I, Xie Yunjin, will live up to Lu Jiao in this life. If I do, then let me die without a whole body."

Lu Jiao was just teasing Xie Yunjin, but she didn't expect him to swear poisonously when he opened his mouth. After a moment of surprise, he raised his hand and hit him: "What are you talking about, I'm just teasing you, I believe in you."

Xie Yunjin laughed, her eyebrows twinkling.

Lu Jiao looked at it and couldn't help laughing, the eyes of the husband and wife couldn't help but twisted together.

It wasn't until the carriage drove to the gate of Ning Bo's mansion that the two people withdrew their gazes, but both of them felt sweet in their hearts.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the gate of the Ning Mansion, and it was indescribably lively with people coming and going.

The Ning family was originally a rich and wealthy family in Ningcheng, and at the end of the day, a lady Zhaoyi was born. Uncle Ning was also bestowed with the title of uncle by His Majesty, which made the Ning family rise.

In the territory of Ningzhou, all the respectable families made good friends with the Ning family, not to mention all the rich merchants, even the prefect Lin and the other three major families didn't want to annoy the Ning family.

So today is Uncle Ning's birthday, everyone in Ningzhou who can rely on the upper reaches of Ningzhou came, because there were too many people, the whole Ningfu seemed noisy and lively.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao got off the carriage and met several people they knew in front of the door, including local merchants in Ningzhou, and officials from the government office, such as Kong Tuiguan Gu Jingwen and others all came over.

They both greeted each other and walked in. Madam Kong and Madam Gu also greeted Lu Jiao to go in. The wives who followed them asked them about Lu Jiao's identity. Many local businessmen did not know Lu Jiao. With the introduction of Mrs. Kong and Mrs. Gu, those people knew that this bright-looking woman with all manner of gestures and gestures was actually the new Mrs. Tongzhi.

The woman who saw it couldn't help sighing, this person is really good-looking, and his life is also good, not only married to a young and promising official like Xie Tongzhi, but also gave birth to four sons, the most important thing is to hear that this Ren is a capable person with excellent medical skills, and he has opened three major workshops.

Really rich, powerful, beautiful, and status, people are more popular than people.

No matter how sad these women were, they all greeted Lu Jiao respectfully.

Lu Jiao nodded slowly, and walked in with Feng Zhi, Ding Xiang and Ruan Zhu.

The nanny in charge of the Ning family respectfully let these women go to the backyard.

In the backyard, Mrs. Ning Bo and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhu, were busy entertaining guests. When they saw them coming, they immediately greeted them politely.

But when they saw Lu Jiao, the expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became a little subtle.

Because they believed that their son, Xianggong, was seriously injured by the Lu family, the two of them felt a little annoyed when they saw Lu Jiao, but they held back when they thought of this identity.

But then, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't have much enthusiasm for Lu Jiao.

The savvy people on the field can see it at a glance.

But Lu Jiao just didn't care, she came here today mainly because she was afraid that something might happen to Xie Yunjin, and she wouldn't be able to come and treat him in time.

She came to protect Xie Yunjin, and was not interested in the Ning family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

However, the Ning family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not enthusiastic about Lu Jiao, but the other three on the field were extremely enthusiastic about Lu Jiao.

Among them, the Liu family is the most obvious. Lu Jiao's son is worshiped under Mr. Liu's name. Lu Jiao also cured Mrs. Liu's illness. Lu Jiao is also the adopted daughter of Wen'an County Lord. No matter what, their family is willing to be with them. Lu Jiao got close.

Mrs. Liu pulled Lu Jiao to her side to talk.

"Are you pregnant?"

The child in Lu Jiao's womb is more than four months old, and her lower abdomen is already swollen, which can be seen at a glance.

Mrs. Liu is no exception.

Lu Jiao nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's been more than four months, and the fetus is considered stable."

Mrs. Liu pointedly said: "Although the fetus is seated firmly, you should pay attention to it. There are many things that pregnant women cannot eat."

Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Wen nodded in agreement after hearing this: "That's the reason. Pregnant women should avoid talking, especially at this kind of banquet, where there are many dishes that are not good for the fetus."

Lu Jiao thanked the three old wives, and Mrs. Ning Bo looked at her, her face turned green with anger, but unfortunately she couldn't do anything with the three wives.

Although one of their daughters entered the palace and became Zhaoyi, the other three are all well-established families, and they don't take their family seriously at all.

So Mrs. Ning Bo didn't dare to trouble those three masters, so she could only give Lu Jiao a cold look from time to time.

Mrs. Ning Bo's daughter-in-law, Ning Hui's eldest wife, pulled her mother-in-law aside to talk quietly.

"Mother, is it true that Xianggong's loss is just for nothing?"

Mrs. Ning Bo looked at her daughter-in-law and said, "What if you don't eat? Could you beat them up?"
