Chapter 155 Sending the Flute
The room was full of women, but he was a man, the only man at the table.
If it were someone else, the first thing that these ladies and young ladies from the noble families present would think of is how to severely punish this lustful man. However, when it came to Master Nan Rong, they hesitated and became confused, because they knew that the Master Nan Rong in front of them was the most pure and amorous person in the world.
There was once someone who used her beauty to seduce Master Nanrong just to get a painting from him, but Master Nanrong didn't even glance at her.
When Mrs. Nan Rong heard the footsteps behind her, she was shocked. When she looked again and saw that it was Nan Rongyan, her eyes widened even more.
He really dares to come out!
It turns out that the person behind the bamboo curtain is really Master Nan Rong!
The young ladies from the aristocratic families at the banquet all held their breath, their gazes fixed on Master Nan Rong, their eyes full of infatuation and obsession, yet they also tried their best to present their most beautiful side to Master Nan Rong, hoping to attract his attention.
Ever since Shen Xitong saw the true face of Young Master Nanrong by chance one time, she has fallen in love with him and vowed in her heart to marry no one else but him. Everyone in the Shen family knew about this. In order to curry favor with the Nanrong family, Shen Chuanhe naturally agreed to let Shen Xitong marry Young Master Nanrong. This way, the Shen family could also climb up the big tree of the Nanrong family.
"Young Master Nanrong..." Shen Xitong's voice trembled, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, making her look even more delicate and pitiful. She saw Young Master Nanrong coming towards her, her beautiful face turned red, and she shyly called him Young Master Nanrong.
It was a pity that Master Nanrong didn't seem to hear her calling him in such a tender voice, let alone look at her.
Shen Xitong's heart instantly fell into the abyss. Isn't she beautiful enough?
Why did Master Nanrong look at her with disdain? How could this be? How could this be? With Shen Xitong's appearance, any man would be attracted to her!
Shen Xitong's face was pale.
Qi Yao rubbed his eyes with his chubby hands. Yes, the person in front of him was the Master Nanrong whom he had been pursuing for more than a year. From Nanrong's house to Yunlu Academy, he could never find him. Unexpectedly, at this moment, he was in his own mansion.
The broken pieces of Beiling mutton-fat jade sparkled brightly under the lights at the banquet.
Under the jealous and almost crazy gazes of all the young ladies from aristocratic families, the banished Master Nan Rong stopped in front of the unremarkable Miss Shen II.
He really is worthy of being a master. He was able to force Young Master Nan Rong to show up. When Qi Yao saw Young Master Nan Rong approaching, she admired Shen Qingyu even more. She really did not choose the wrong master. She was able to lure Young Master Nan Rong here so easily.
The others scolded Shen Qingyu harshly.
Why is it Shen Qingyu again?
She alone had monopolized all the limelight today.
What's so good about the second young lady of the Shen family? Even if she has shown amazing talent, with her ordinary looks, is she worthy of Master Nanrong?
There was silence at the table. Shen Qingyu looked up suddenly and saw Master Nanrong frowning. He was still as distant as before, but his indifferent eyes flickered slightly, as if he didn't want to look at her.
"Does this purple bamboo flute of mine please Miss Shen Er?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the young ladies from noble families in the room seemed to hear the sound of their own heartbreaking. Young Master Nan Rong actually gave the purple bamboo flute that he carried with him all year round to the second young lady of the Shen family. Everyone in Jiangnan knew that Young Master Nan Rong never left his flute, and even slept with it at night. But now, he gave this purple bamboo flute to the second young lady Shen so easily.
Giving the Xiao away is secondary, but the meaning behind it is worth pondering. Could it be that Master Nanrong intends to use the Xiao as a token of affection to form a marriage with the Shen family?
Shen Qingyu wanted to laugh. Is this person always like this? Is he also so cold when giving gifts to others? If it were someone else, who would dare to accept it?
"Yan'er," Madam Nanrong quickly put down the cup in her hand, walked quickly to Master Nanrong and said with a smile, "Mother has already given the Beiling Jade to Second Miss Shen, and Second Miss Shen has already accepted it."
Young Master Nanrong said coldly: "It's broken."
"But mother..."
Madam Nan Rong wanted to continue explaining, but was interrupted by Nan Rongyan's cold voice, "Aunt."
"Yes, yes, yes, auntie..." Madam Nanrong did not dare to disobey and kept saying yes. This was the lifeblood of the old man, the future head of the Nanrong family. Her second half of life depended on him and she could not afford to offend him. "Auntie thinks that since Miss Shen has accepted the Beiling Jade, you don't have to give her this purple bamboo flute."
“Broken.” Nan Rongyan still used these two words.
"That was broken by Miss Shen herself, but my aunt has already given it to her..."
"Broken."
When he spoke to Shen Qingyu just now, Master Nanrong spoke in a long sentence, but when it came to Madam Nanrong, it was just a few words, as few as possible. Madam Nanrong was so angry that she secretly cursed Nanrong Yan for being a bastard who didn't even take his own aunt seriously.
Shen Qingyu couldn't help gloating when she saw Madam Nanrong looking so aggrieved at the moment and trying to please Master Nanrong in every way. Moreover, after listening to the conversation between Master Nanrong and Madam Nanrong, she finally understood why Master Nanrong showed up. Madam Nanrong went back on her word but didn't take Master Nanrong into consideration. Master Nanrong was a trustworthy gentleman and would not tolerate such a betrayal.
The Beiling mutton-fat jade was broken, and Master Nanrong wanted to use his flute to replace the jade in order to restore the Nanrong family's reputation.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingyu's doubts disappeared immediately, and she took the purple bamboo flute with both hands, "Such a generous gift, I will accept it."
She held the purple bamboo flute in her hand, but she deliberately held it in the place where Master Nanrong had just held it. Nanrong Yan's handsome face was startled, and her eyes turned red again. She was obviously full of talent, but why was her behavior so perverse, bold, and frivolous?
Ok.
Nan Rongyan responded calmly, then turned and left.
He was dressed in white and walked gracefully and steadily. Even though he knew that all the women in the room were looking at him, he remained calm and unperturbed.
Does this man who seems to have walked out of a painting really belong to this mortal world?
After seeing him today, perhaps some people have become like Shen Xitong, who was determined to marry no one but Master Nanrong after seeing him for the rest of their lives.
"Cousin Nanrong!"
Liang Lan hurriedly called out to him, but Nan Rongyan still didn't turn back. Everything in this world was just in his eyes. He just wanted to be alone, without any worries.
Nan Rongyan's sudden appearance, although only for a brief moment, was enough to make all the young ladies from the noble families at the table obsessed and fall in love with her.
Even though he has left now, there are still some people who are still staring at the direction he left, unable to extricate themselves. They secretly think that if they can have such a man accompany them in this life and give birth to children for him, it is undoubtedly a great blessing and they would be willing to die for him.
