Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt
Chapter 41 Gambling
After some coaxing and persuasion, Wang Cuilan got Su Xuqing's promise that she would take time to help her deal with the pockmarks on her face. Wang Cuilan laughed out loud, and her mouth could fit an entire apple.
In the painted boat, many ladies were very interested and wanted to come over to ask for advice, but because the little princess was always staying close to Su Xuqing, they were unable to come over to talk.
After half an hour, the lady from a prominent family, Sun Youwei, came in with the last guest.
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. The dinner will start later. Today I have invited Miss Liu Sisi, a Jiangnan guzheng master, to play the zither for everyone. You can look forward to it."
In the painting boat, someone pretended to be surprised and praised her a few words, but Su Xuqing was not in the mood to do so. She stared at Su Miner behind Sun Youwei and her good mood was gone.
This unlucky star finally came.
Su Miner looked around and saw Su Xuqing. She smiled maliciously, her eyes full of provocation.
Su Xuqing took her seat slowly. She had a feeling that the banquet tonight would not be peaceful.
Before the banquet began, Sun Youwei came to the low platform facing the gate with a sweet smile, "The Painting Boat Festival is held once a year, and everyone gathers once a year. However, it costs a lot of money to hold this Painting Boat Festival. With my pocket money, I may not be able to hold it even if I save it for a few years. So today I want to especially thank the Pavilion Master Liang Heng of Tianxing Pavilion. This year, he took the initiative to find me and provided a lot of funds for the Painting Boat Festival."
As she spoke, Sun Youwei looked upstairs, "Master Liang, are you coming down to say hello?"
This remark caused a lot of discussion. Liang Heng's Tianxing Pavilion was rich enough to rival a country, and everyone in the capital knew about it. But this man was elusive, and many people had never seen him, so they were very curious.
Su Xuqing looked at the man in black slowly coming down the stairs, her eyes full of inquiry. She decided to find an opportunity to ask why Liang Heng gave her such a big discount.
The two of them were clearly just casual acquaintances...
Liang Heng walked down the stairs and stood beside Sun Youwei, gently waving a paper fan, moving his hands and feet freely. He nodded and said, "I've heard that during the Painted Boat Festival, the flowers on the West Lake are so beautiful that they dazzle the eyes. Today I've seen it. Ladies and young ladies, enjoy yourself today. All expenses will be paid by me, Liang."
As he spoke, Liang Heng's eyes found Su Xuqing, and he smiled slightly.
Su Xuqing felt uncomfortable all over and had no idea what Liang Heng was up to.
"Hey, did Liang Heng smile at me just now?"
The little princess nudged Su Xuqing with her shoulder and said conceitedly, "Sure enough, I should still wear a veil, otherwise that man will not be able to stand my beauty~"
Su Xuqing: “…”
How could the eldest princess give birth to such a stupid child?
Beside Liang Heng, Sun Youwei quietly looked at Liang Heng. His eyebrows and eyes were beautiful and his gaze was bright and sharp, but it was a pity that he was wearing a mask on his face, so she couldn't see his charm.
Sun Youwei unconsciously clenched her palms, sweat seeped out, and her cheeks turned slightly red.
Liang Heng felt the burning gazes from the side and also felt very uncomfortable. He wondered what was wrong with Sun Youwei and why she lost her composure like that.
"Haha, today all the people present here are women. I am sorry for the inconvenience. I will take my leave now."
Liang Heng bowed, saluted everywhere, then walked out.
In fact, he didn't have to come today. Shen Xuanheng was worried that Su Xuqing would be wronged on the houseboat because of his "notoriety", so he hid upstairs early to observe.
Some problems did occur during the period, but fortunately the young princess arrived in time and he did not show up.
"Master Liang is leaving now?"
A discordant voice sounded, and everyone looked at the person who spoke, Su Miner.
Liang Heng paused, looked at her indifferently, and said lightly: "Why, do you think the lesson you received last time was not enough?"
When the old matter was brought up again, Su Miner's eyes were filled with anger.
"Master Liang, let's not talk about the past. Why don't we talk about the dirty things between you and my ninth aunt?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Su Xuqing, gossipy in their eyes, and whispered to each other.
Sun Youwei raised her eyes slightly and looked at Su Xuqing, feeling a little uneasy.
Liang Heng stood with his hands behind his back and sneered, "Then you have to explain it in detail. If you have no evidence, I will not let you off easily today. I have been in the capital for so many years, and no one has dared to tarnish my reputation."
Su Min'er seemed very confident, and raised her voice and said, "Last time, you helped Su Xuqing beat me and my husband, so I thought you were right. My husband did something wrong before, and you beat him. This matter should end here, and you should not have any intersection with my ninth sister-in-law in the future, right?"
Liang Heng nodded slightly, "Since then, this Pavilion Master has not seen Su Xuqing, is there any problem with this?"
Su Min'er laughed and said, "You really didn't see her, but Pavilion Master Liang and Su Xuqing have set a precedent that has never been seen before. As long as she spends money in the shops under your Tianxing Pavilion, she will give you a 10% discount."
"Is there such a thing?"
"A 10% discount is too much. I'm going to lose money."
"Zizi, it seems that Pavilion Master Liang really has some relationship with the Ninth Prince's wife, otherwise how could he give such a big benefit?"
There was a lot of discussion, and Su Miner's smile became more and more crazy. She looked at Su Xuqing proudly. She was determined to ruin her reputation today, and at the same time, she could also make Shen Xuanheng a green hat to vent her hatred.
Tang Xue looked unhappy and wanted to stand up to speak up for Su Xuqing, but Su Xuqing raised her hand and grabbed her sleeve, saying calmly, "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."
The little princess curled her lips, feeling very unhappy.
"Master Liang, I wonder if you admit this?"
Liang Heng smiled and nodded, "It is true."
Hearing Liang Heng's admission, everyone started to talk noisily, and even Sun Youwei's eyes turned resentful when she looked at Su Xuqing.
At this moment, Su Xuqing was on pins and needles. She wanted to refute, but didn't know where to start. She stared at Liang Heng dimly, worried that he had evil intentions.
"But." Liang Heng closed his folding fan and tapped it lightly on his palm. "But I discussed this matter with the Ninth Prince beforehand. I did this only after the Ninth Prince nodded."
When these words were spoken, everyone was confused.
Su Min'er's expression changed. "How is that possible? What do you want?"
Liang Heng's brain raced, and he came up with an excuse. "When I went to Beijing to do business, the first sum of money I earned was from the Ninth Prince's medical expenses. I remember where the water came from, so I did this. If you don't believe me, I can call the Ninth Prince over."
As he spoke, Liang Heng looked at Su Min'er coldly, "But you have to think clearly. If the Ninth Prince comes, he will make it clear that there is nothing dirty between Liang and Su Xuqing. Don't think you can get off this pleasure boat easily today."
Su Min'er laughed immediately, "You want to scare me and get away with it? No way! If you have the guts, go call that sickly guy over! I'll be waiting here!"
"Haha, ignorance is bliss. Then it's as you wish."
