Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 417: Cannon fodder merman in ancient Chinese literature 13

Yun Wu was feeling guilty about passing on the message, so she naturally agreed when she heard it.

Lu Jingzhi was much taller than her, so Yun Wu could only grab his clothes in front of him and tiptoe to get closer.

Just like the intimate action he had done before to help her change her legs back, he pressed his soft lips against hers and then quickly withdrew them.

Yun Wu blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Lu Jingzhi, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"In this case... I will not pursue the matter."

Lu Jingzhi said, he looked up at the wall, there was no movement outside, the fisher girl must have left.

After all, she is a woman, so it would be fine if she just wanted to be friends with Yun Wu, but if she wanted to take his little mermaid away from him, then don't blame him for being rude.

Lu Jingzhi withdrew her gaze and looked at Yun Wu, her expression somewhat guilty.

He didn't say much, his face still had a casual look, and he said softly:

"Lord Tang is hosting a banquet tonight, saying it's a belated welcome party. You and I will go together."

Lu Jingzhi thought for a moment and added, "There are a lot of delicious foods."

Yun Wu's eyes brightened a little, and then she nodded heavily twice.

It was not because she was greedy, but because she always ate the same few things when she was in the sea. Now that she had come ashore and eaten the food of mortals, she found it delicious.

As night fell, the county magistrate's mansion was brightly lit, and the people coming and going were all famous figures in Liangzhou City.

The servants had already followed Lord Tang's instructions and replaced all the expensive ornaments with simple items in advance, making the entire county governor's mansion look much cleaner.

Some people were already sitting on both sides of the hall. Officials from Liangzhou City came with their wives and families, and wealthy families doing business in the city also came.

Duan Heng was also sitting at the banquet. He was the eldest grandson of the Duan family, a prominent family in the capital. He moved to Liangzhou City to live temporarily for some reasons.

Lord Tang had also heard of his identity, so he had always wanted to make friends with him. This time, as there was a welcoming banquet, he also invited Duan Heng.

Duan Heng was a dandy young man who came to Liangzhou City to avoid an arranged marriage for his family.

Lord Tang, Lord Sun and others were chatting and praising each other. Duan Heng was not of the same age as them and they had no common topics, so they were too lazy to talk.

At this moment, there was a sudden report from the servant outside.

"Young Marquis Lu is here!"

Everyone who was chatting stopped talking one after another, and Duan Heng stood up with everyone else out of boredom.

He turned his head and saw a handsome man in a black brocade robe walking in.

Following closely beside him was a girl in green and a guard with a sword.

When Duan Heng saw the woman's face clearly, he was stunned.

The woman was beautiful. Although she didn't wear any makeup, her cheeks were white with a slight rosy glow, and her eyes were very bright.

Isn’t she the girl that Duan Heng saw by chance on the fishing boat yesterday?

He was still thinking about the fact that he failed to ask the girl's name in time yesterday, but he didn't expect to meet her today.

"Meet the young marquis."

Everyone saluted Lu Jingzhi in unison. Lord Tang came over personally and led the way for Lu Jingzhi with a smile on his face.

As Lu Jingzhi has the highest status here, he naturally has to sit in the main seat.

Even Lord Tang, the highest official in Liangzhou City, could only sit in the second-class seat.

This was Yun Wu’s first time attending a mortal’s banquet. Although she was very curious, she still felt a little uneasy when there were so many people around, fearing that she had done something wrong.

She sat next to Lu Jingzhi, folded her hands in front of her properly, and stared at the delicacies on the table.

Others were very curious about Yun Wu who was beside Lu Jingzhi. This face was very unfamiliar in Liangzhou City, and she was so beautiful.

Only Lord Tang showed a satisfied smile. When he saw that Lu Jingzhi actually brought Yun Wu with him, it seemed that the plan was quite successful.

That mermaid really caught Lu Jingzhi's eye. If Lu Jingzhi found out anything later, he would be able to get the news in time.

"I have been busy with work over the past few days. Today, Lord Sun and I have specially arranged a banquet to welcome the young marquis."

Lord Tang said with a smile, and Lord Sun beside him nodded quickly.

"Thank you both for your help."

Lu Jingzhi said this calmly, and then he raised the wine cup symbolically to drink with everyone at the banquet, but he didn't actually take a sip of the wine.

Yun Wu didn't drink any alcohol. She also wanted to try it, but Lu Jingzhi didn't let her.

Du Zhonghou was standing behind Lu Jingzhi, looking quite intimidating with a sword hanging from his body.

"Young Marquis, who is this?"

One of the wealthy businessmen from Liangzhou City who was sitting below asked, looking at Yun Wu who was beside Lu Jingzhi with a scrutinizing gaze.

He saw Lu Jingzhi and the woman sitting at the same table, and their relationship didn't seem simple, so he said:

"Could it be your concubine, young marquis? Did she also come to Liangzhou City with you? Your vision is really good."

Duan Heng was stunned for a moment, then he clenched his hands slightly and looked in the direction of Yun Wu.

Concubine?

Yun Wu tilted her head. She remembered hearing an old merman mention that most mortal men had three wives and four concubines.

When the word "concubine" was mentioned, the way some officials and wives at the banquet looked at Yun Wu changed.

After all, in the current hierarchy of the inner house, concubines have the lowest status and can be sold at will.

With a "bang", Lu Jingzhi placed the wine cup on the table, but the sound was a little louder, which scared everyone.

His narrow eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the wealthy businessman with a faint gaze and said:

"Awu is the Marquis' wife who has not yet married into the family. She is not a concubine. If anyone disrespects her, it is a slap in the face of this Marquis."

It’s not that Lu Jingzhi looked down on his concubine, but he didn’t like others looking at Yun Wu with contempt.

It would make him want to dig out the eyes of those people who looked at him nastily...

As soon as Lu Jingzhi's words came out, everyone in the hall was surprised and stunned. Lord Tang was stunned, and then he looked at Lord Sun.

Lord Tang had not yet told Lord Sun about Yun Wu's mission, but Lord Tang was also worried. He just wanted to place a spy next to Lu Jingzhi.

Who would have thought that this spy would become the wife of the Marquis? This, this, this...

He also thought that after Lu Jingzhi left, he would abandon the mermaid in Liangzhou City, and then he would be able to take in another beautiful concubine.

Du Zhong, who was standing behind Lu Jingzhi, was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

When did Miss Yun become the young marquis's wife? How come he didn't know? Did he miss something?

This was just a small episode. Lu Jingzhi lowered his eyes and skillfully picked up some food for Yun Wu.

"Eat more vegetables."

"Thank you, young marquis..."

Yun Wu thanked him in a low voice, and seemed to be concentrating on eating the food and didn't pay much attention to what Lu Jingzhi said just now.

As a mermaid who had just come ashore, she didn't know much, so naturally she would have to be taught slowly in the future.
