Shengjing Noble

Chapter 199 Sleep peacefully

When the man saw Su Shengming had called so many people over, he immediately became timid. His previous ferocious look changed and a flattering smile appeared on his face.

"Brother, what do you mean by this? We are all gentlemen, we use words instead of fists."

"Humph, weren't you very arrogant just now? Why don't you scream?" Su Shengming stepped forward and grabbed the man's collar, his eyebrows full of hostility, "Apologize to this girl immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

"Yes, yes, I'll apologize right away!"

The man nodded repeatedly, then bowed to Fang Qingqing to apologize: "I was blind and offended the young lady just now. Please forgive me and don't hold it against me. I am really sorry for the offense."

Fang Qingqing was disdainful in her heart but showed a tactful and moving smile on her face: "It's okay, big brother, please don't bully the weak and fear the strong in the future."

"Yes, yes, I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, the man turned and ran, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Su Shengming turned to look at Fang Qingqing and quickly comforted her: "Miss, I'm sorry to have scared you, are you okay?"

"It's okay... Thank you for saving me, otherwise I would..."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red and tears fell sadly. She looked as if she had suffered great injustice.

"What's wrong with you, girl? The man has left, don't be afraid."

"I was just very touched. You are just a small handyman, but you stood up to save me. This kind of justice is really rare."

"Oh, I thought something was wrong with you. This is human nature. When you see a weak person in danger, you should lend a helping hand. You don't have to do this, girl."

"My mother taught me to be grateful and repay kindness since I was young, so I must repay you for saving my life."

"It's really not necessary..."

Su Shengming was about to refuse, but Fang Qingqing took out a sachet from her arms and handed it to him.

"I was in a hurry to go out today and didn't bring any gold or silver with me. Sir, please accept this first. I will bring a thank you gift to exchange with you tomorrow."

"No, this..."

Su Shengming was about to return it to her but he saw that the person had already run away. The street outside the door was crowded with people and in the blink of an eye he could not find her.

He sighed helplessly and had to put her in his arms first: "This girl... is quite interesting."

She was quite different from the vulgar girls he had been with before.

……

The country is beautiful and fragrant.

Finally, when it was Su Lanyin's turn to go on stage to dance, Aunt Hua specially ordered someone to put a veil on her, covering most of her face.

Tiger was confused: "Sister, we rely on her looks to attract business, what's the point of hiding it now?"

Aunt Hua rolled her eyes and said with disdain: "What do you know, you old fool? You are such a loser. You can't do anything all day and you always ask nonsense. Get out of here and solicit customers!"

"I..." The tiger was angry but dared not say anything. Feeling aggrieved and resentful, he could only turn around and leave.

Su Lanyin looked at the interaction between the siblings and her lips curled up slightly. Once some things are cracked, they can never be repaired.

However, Su Lanyin also guessed why Sister Hua asked her to hold the pipa and half cover her face.

I had previously eavesdropped on her conversation with the prince, and she had mentioned that her appearance was not similar to that man's childhood sweetheart, but her temperament was almost identical.

If you see her face, you will have preconceived notions. No matter how similar her temperament is, it will not give you a sense of déjà vu.

Only by covering the face and confusing him with the aura, and then showing the face, will he not care about the difference in appearance, but instead pay more attention to the familiar shadow.

"If you dare to make any mistakes on the stage later, don't blame me for making you pay for it later!"

Aunt Hua had a sinister and cruel look on her face, and her eyes were filled with sharp murderous intent, which made people shudder.

Su Lanyin nodded and said timidly, "Yes, I will do my best and not let you down."

"You are sensible. Don't worry. If this matter succeeds, you will definitely benefit from it."

"Yes."

Su Lanyin bowed, then followed the maid to the back of the stage to prepare for the performance.

The huge curtain blocked her view of what was happening outside, but she could vaguely hear the originally noisy environment suddenly become quiet enough to the point where one could hear a pin drop.

Presumably, the distinguished guest that the prince had tried every means to win over has arrived.

As soon as she heard the music, Su Lanyin became nervous involuntarily. She took a deep breath and followed the maid outside.

When we came to the center of the stage, there was smoke everywhere and the bright lights made us feel dizzy.

She was wearing a veil and a fiery red dance dress that revealed her slender waist.

Looking up slightly at the position on the second floor opposite, I saw a man in black sitting upright. The huge curtain above his head cast a shadow, covering his face in darkness.

But even so, the aura lingering around him was extraordinary; it was an innate dignity and arrogance, reserved, elegant, dignified, and grand!

Even the prince is afraid and tries his best to please and win him over, but I'm afraid there is only one person like him in the world.

The free and easy king Fu Wuyang!

He is the younger brother of the current emperor. The two are twenty years apart in age. Although they are not born from the same mother, he is the biological son of the Empress Dowager.

Back then, he was a man of both literary and martial talents, and even though he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he had already won the favor of the late emperor.

It is rumored that the late emperor intended to pass the throne to him.

It was just that when he was sixteen years old, he went hunting with his childhood sweetheart, and they were chased by an assassin on the way.

His fiancée fell off a cliff and died in order to protect him. From then on, the free and easy king never recovered and no longer cared about court affairs.

For so many years, he has been wandering around the world, living a free and easy life, never asking about the people and affairs of the previous dynasty and the harem, so the emperor gave him the title of King Xiaoyao.

He also enjoyed it. If the Empress Dowager had not been ill, he would not have returned to Beijing.

The reason why the prince wanted to win him over was probably because this man was well-known in the martial arts world and had countless chivalrous men willing to work for him.

If he could get the support of King Xiaoyao, then Fu Mingheng's position as the crown prince would not be safe, but at least it would be almost certain.

After the song ended, Su Lanyin bowed and did not stay for long, but retreated with the dancers.

But she clearly felt that a burning gaze was following her.

It seems that the task assigned to her by Nanny Hua has been completed.

Just as Feng'er sat down to rest and had a cup of tea, the servant outside came to tell her something.

"Miss, Mammy wants you to come over. By the way, she specifically told you to change into casual clothes without covering your face."

Su Lanyin curled her lips and said coldly: "Okay, I understand."

After the servant left, Feng'er went to the closet and selected a crescent-shaped white robe and placed it on the shelf beside the bed, and then took out the white jade hairpin that she had prepared long ago.

"Miss, I will help you change your clothes and dress up."

Su Lanyin stood up calmly and let her clean up, without saying a word the whole time.

She knew that Nanny Hua was quite capable, especially when it came to controlling men.
