Gasps of regret sounded throughout the surrounding area. They were all regretting that they did not go to the Spring Flower Hall earlier that night.
The daughter of a daughter of a noble family wasn't someone an ordinary family could touch. She must be as beautiful as a flower, with skin as white as snow.
Mister Shu opened the fan and walked around in front of everyone before continuing: ”Everyone doesn't know which girl from the Spring and Flowers Restaurant is selling her skills or not. That old procuress naturally won't allow it, but her life is good!”
”That night, young lady met a huge figure passing by our Anyang Mansion, and was directly bought by that person. She didn't hesitate at all and directly brought her people to leave. We haven't even seen half a corner of the young lady's skirt when we left a group of noble disciples waiting in the hall. ”
The drinkers had even set down their wine cups. As Mister Shu's words were filled with enthusiasm, someone asked, ”Who exactly is it that has so much money on hand?”
”Yeah, let's take a look at it.”
Mister Shu shook his head and said: ”The person who bought this Courtesan Belle was not a simple person. He was a General Liu from the capital!”
”The General Liu came to the border to escort the King Luo according to the emperor's orders. They passed through the Anyang Mansion and bought this Courtesan Belle. A night of spring snacks is really uncomfortable!”
The surrounding people immediately burst into laughter, there were even people who said: ”That General Liu is not young anymore, he sure is good at tormenting others!”
Another round of laughter rang out. Liu Ruyan's face was pale as she clenched her fists tightly and shot Maid Lu a look.
Maid Lu also knew that this man was hectoring him behind his back. Liu Ruyan must have endured for a long time, before she managed to stop herself from rushing out and knocking over Mister Shu's table.
In order to avoid unnecessary conflict, Maid Lu immediately understood and walked out.
Looking at it this way, this storyteller knew a lot of internal affairs, and Liu Ruyan was afraid that she would have to ask for it herself.
”Sir, my lady heard of your story and wishes to invite you to meet. May I ask if you would like to move to tell my lady in detail?”
Maid Lu nodded at the man, and then spoke to Mister Shu in a proper manner under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
The crowd burst into cheers, ”Mister Shu is so lucky, why aren't you going!”
Mister Shu folded his fan and covered his face, sizing up Maid Lu. He then smiled and nodded, then followed Maid Lu.
Passing through the screen, Mr. Shu saw Liu Ruyan seated at the window. Although she was wearing a reed hat and her head was lowered, his face could not be seen clearly. However, looking at Liu Ruyan's clothes and accessories, Mister Shu naturally knew what was important and what wasn't, and immediately put away her playful expression.
Knowing that Liu Ruyan was not an ordinary family, Mister Shu had a somewhat hesitant expression. He did not know if he had caused a disaster, so he cupped his fists and bowed to Liu Ruyan politely, and said: ”This little one is Shu Wuqing. Greeting this lady, I wonder who she is ….”
Shu Wuqing wanted to ask about Liu Ruyan's identity.
After all, this Anyang Mansion was not like the capital, it had very few territories in the first place. People like Shu Wuqing who read books and made friends with others would naturally know that there were several noble clans in the Anyang Mansion that could not be easily offended. But he had never seen Liu Ruyan before, so he did not dare act rashly.
Liu Ruyan held onto a teacup in her hand. Before Shu Wuqing could finish speaking, the teacup had been thrown onto the table, making a loud sound when it collided with the table.
”Do you know what rank the life of General Liu belongs to? Do you know what kind of crime it is to slander an official of the imperial government? How dare you?!” Liu Ruyan's loud and clear voice scared that Shu Wuqing so much that she fell to her knees with a ”pu tong” sound.
