    【Daddy Chapter 35】Night Banquet

    One night, Chu Jiao was awakened by the actions of the people around her.Shen Zhen was dressing carefully, her black robe blending in with the night.

    “Huh? What’s wrong?” she asked with misty eyes.

    “It’s okay, good boy. You continue to sleep. Shen Zhenjian woke up the little girl and kissed her gently, “I’m going out to do some errands.”

    Chu Jiao suddenly remembered that when he first came to this world, the man was also wearing night clothes. He didn’t know what he had done and came back with injuries all over his body, and he ran away as soon as he fell asleep.

    “Where to go? What to do?!”

    She stood up like a little wife checking the post.

    “Tonight is the county governor’s birthday party,” Shen Zhen saw the girl’s nervous look, his heart softened, and he explained to her in a low voice, “Many important people are here, I have to go and find out…

    “Then I’m going too!”

    “Good boy, don’t make trouble.” Shen Zhen rubbed Chu Jiao’s hair and said, “You are a weak woman, how can I rest assured? “I can protect myself!”

    Chu Jiao took advantage of Shen Zhen being unprepared for her and grabbed the soft sword from the man’s waist, and dexterously held it in a sword flower with her little hands.

    Just kidding, her decades in the world of cultivation were not in vain. Although this body has never practiced martial arts and is too weak, she can still be a third-rate master by relying on her memory of moves and putting on airs.

    “Where did you learn this from? Shen Zhen was a little surprised when he saw Chu Jiao’s movements, always feeling vaguely familiar.

    But he was more afraid that Chu Jiao would hurt herself, so he quickly put aside his doubts, held her wrist and took the sword, and touched her muscles and bones at the same time.

    The two meridians are not connected, the muscles and bones are fixed, and he does not look like he has practiced martial arts.

    “Huh, I won’t tell you!” Ling Yue’s appearance flashed through Chu Jiao’s mind, but her heart that was throbbing for her master at the beginning was now calm. The man Qing Yue’s figure was as light as a passerby, passing by in a flash.

    “Okay, just let me go with you,” Chu Jiao saw that she couldn’t force herself, so she just acted coquettishly. I’ve been staying in the house recently, and I’m almost suffocated~ Besides, I’m also worried about your safety!”

    Unknowingly, Shen Zhen walked into her heart. He was no longer just the male protagonist and father-in-law, but also a man who loved her, doted on her, and made her heart beat.

    “There’s really nothing I can do about you,” Shen Zhen was so pricked by Chu Jiao’s words that he wanted to press her down and kiss her fiercely. But the opportunity waited for no one, so he had to suppress his surging heart and do business first, “Then you promise me, you’ll listen to me for a while!”

    “Okay!” Seeing that Shen Zhen agreed, Chu Jiao jumped up excitedly, kissed him on the cheek, and started to change clothes neatly.

    “Master Zhang, your ability to govern the county is a blessing to our people. It’s so obvious!!”

    During the banquet, there were glasses of wine, and a man with a big belly complimented Zhang Feng, the governor of Wu County, who was sitting in the main seat.

    “Haha, no matter what, I still have to rely on your full support,” Zhang Feng said modestly, “We in Wu County have outstanding people, and everyone here is a leader, a leader! Haha!”

    “Master Zhang has always been humble,” Du Qi stepped forward to toast again, “Under Master Zhang, I have really seen what it means to be a good official who makes decisions for the people!”

    “Yes, yes,” the others also flattered each other, “there was a heavy snowfall at the beginning of this year and a severe drought in the middle of the year. Only our Wu County was not affected. What if this is not the credit of the county governor!?” “That is, Mr. Zhang also helped the two counties next door with disaster relief. He is really a role model for us officials!”

    “Hahaha! Well done! Well done!” Zhang Feng beamed with joy at the series of flattery, but he was still very cautious. “This is all the emperor’s wisdom. Although we are far away in the south of the Yangtze River, we still have to care about the court and the people!”

    “Master Zhang is right!” “Exactly!”

    “A bunch of sycophants!”

    The people who were changing glasses did not know that there were two people lying on the roof above them, eavesdropping on their conversation.

    “Official life is so hypocritical.” Shen Zhen hugged Chu Jiao and complained to her, placing his palms under her body, fearing that the tiles would scratch his pampered little girl.

    “Then you do the same?” Chu Jiao glanced sideways at him.

    “Ha,” Shen Zhen said with a deep smile, “I am hypocritical to them… but to you… I am completely sincere.”

    “…Glib accent!” Even though Chu Jiao said this, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

    The guests at Zhang Feng’s banquet were all prominent figures in Wu County, including not only his disciples and trusted subordinates, but also wealthy gentry and businessmen.

    The banquet was coming to an end when Shen Zhen brought Chu Jiao over. Chu Jiao listened for a long time without hearing any useful news, and she even felt sleepy.

    “I told you not to come,” Shen Zhen pinched Chu Jiao’s nose lovingly, “Are you coming to suffer?”

    “Hmph, this is nothing.” Chu Jiao just felt bored. “These people make three turns in one sentence, which makes them tired.”

    Shen Zhen did get a lot of useful information, which smoothed the relationship between Wu County’s government and businessmen centered on Zhang Feng.

    “Zhang Feng is a cautious person. He will definitely not say anything at the banquet. He will probably not be so polite after a while…”

    These gatherings are all superficial, and important things are certainly not discussed here.

    Sure enough, the banquet broke up before long.Everyone left one after another, but a few people fell behind and entered the outer courtyard through the side door of the hall.

    Shen Zhen had already explored the layout of the Sheriff’s Mansion. When he saw the direction of those people, he held Chu Jiao up the ladder and flew to another eaves.

    “Come on, let’s go to the study.”
