I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court

Chapter 102 Staying at Liu's Mansion

Being scolded by the master of the house, the servant was suddenly shocked and felt extremely wronged.

She also wanted to pour wine for Lord Shang. When Lord Shang's first empty glass appeared, she took the initiative to pour wine. However, Lord Shang was one step ahead of her and poured wine for himself.

She also said that such small matters could be handled by her.

But Lord Shang glanced at her coldly. Although he didn't say anything, the coldness and murderousness in his eyes were evident. Even if she was a fool, she would immediately understand that Lord Shang didn't want anyone to come close to serve him.

What can the servant do? He can only quietly step aside and wait for orders.

Who would have thought that Lord Shang would actually suggest that the popular Chu Chu pour the wine, and he immediately became the target of public criticism. It really felt unfair just thinking about it.

However, what else could she do? She could only swallow her anger and kneel down silently to beg the head of the family for forgiveness.

“Don’t be angry, sir. It’s just a glass of wine. How dare I refuse what Lord Shang proposed?

As she spoke, she slowly stood up, carrying the wine pot on her desk to Shang Wenqi's side, and then poured him a glass of wine very elegantly, then raised her own glass solemnly, looking at him with a smile: "Master Shang, please."

Shang Wenqi glanced at her, as if he could read a string of swear words in Ning Ning's eyes. For some reason, Shang Wenqi felt a sense of comfort in his heart when he saw this.

What's with this feeling of being secretly happy even though being scolded?

He frowned slightly and was speechless for a moment.

Ning Ning saw that he hadn't moved for a long time, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "I'll drink first as a sign of respect."

As she spoke, she raised her sleeves to cover her face, and gritted her teeth as she drank: "I say you've almost done it. If you mess up my good thing, I'll never let you go."

Shang Wenqi naturally heard Ning Ning's muttering. He slowly picked up the wine glass and drank, not forgetting to respond: "Come back with me."

"What are you crazy about? My goal is to sneak into Liu's house. Have you forgotten? Stop nagging me."

After Ning Ning finished speaking, she slowly put down her sleeves, revealing the empty wine glass.

Seeing Ning Ning acting so gracefully, everyone couldn't help but applaud.

Of course, there was also admiration for Ning Ning for not being afraid of Shang Wenqi's terrifying aura.

Soon, Ning Ning returned to her seat, and the birthday dance performed by the Snow Lady Dance Troupe on the stage outside began.

With such a great performance as before, even though Lady Xue and the others danced well, it was hard for the crowd to create much of a stir.

Therefore, when Lady Xue and the others finished their song, although the old lady also asked for rewards, she did not call them to the lobby, and the rewards she gave were not valuable jewelry, but 30 taels of silver per person.

Of course, 30 taels of silver was considered a huge sum of money in ancient times.

But compared with the Western Region Dance Troupe, there is inevitably a gap.

However, comparison brings motivation. Under the leadership of Lady Xue, everyone did not rush towards jealousy. They just wanted to go back and work hard. Next time, they would surprise everyone and make everyone praise and reward them willingly.

In this harmonious atmosphere, Madam Liu's birthday banquet slowly came to an end. The guests had a great time and went home one after another. The dance troupe naturally had to return to Furong Garden overnight.

However, among the group that was packing their bags, Ning Ning was the only one left.

Everyone didn't know what to say for a moment. It was a blessing to be kept by a noble, but everyone didn't want to. In their eyes, Ning Ning had amazing talent and should be a popular figure on the stage, not a canary in a deep mansion.

Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Ning Ning couldn't help but laugh: "What are you thinking about? Lord Liu kept me here just to let me be his daughter's tutor for a few days, nothing else. I'm familiar with this job, after all, I've been doing it for so many years, right? There won't be any problem.

Besides, I have a few new dances to discuss with you, and I hope you can shine again during the Mid-Autumn Festival. So don’t worry, there will be no problem.”

"You need to take care of yourself here. If there are any problems, find a way to send someone out to tell us."

"Even if we can't, we will still ask for Shang Lord's help."

"Yes, Chuchu, you must return to the dance troupe. We are still waiting for you to tell us what happened between you and Lord Shang."

Ning Ning's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she had completely forgotten about this matter.

But at this moment she could only nod vaguely: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you when I get back."

Finally, the owner forced a few pieces of jewelry on her so that she would not have to pay anyone for something when she needed it. After all this was arranged, the dance troupe reluctantly left.

After seeing off the boss and his entourage, the old butler also came over.

"Miss Chuchu, I am following the orders of the head of the family to re-arrange a courtyard for you to stay in. Please follow me."

"Okay." Ning Ning also knew that the Minister of Justice would definitely change her room. After all, this was a large dormitory that accommodated the dance troupe. Since Liu Binzhou kept her in the name of tutoring his daughter, he would definitely treat her as a tutor.

The butler took Ning Ning through the corridor and officially arrived at the backyard of the mansion.

I have to say that the Liu Mansion is really huge. If you don’t know, you might think you have come to a royal palace. It is really strange that a small vice minister of the Ministry of Justice has such a large mansion.

But on second thought, he is the emperor's cousin and can indeed be considered a royal relative, so it seems reasonable for him to have such a large courtyard.

All I can say is that this imperial concubine is really doing her utmost to promote her natal family.

Ning Ning was daydreaming while paying attention to the surrounding terrain. Soon the housekeeper brought her to a courtyard with the words "Pianyuan" written on it.

The housekeeper bowed respectfully to her and said, "Pian Garden was specially arranged by the master for Miss Chuchu. It has been vacant since we moved into this mansion. It is small but unique. I think Miss Chuchu will like it. The master also said that it is too late tonight, so Miss Chuchu should have a good rest. You can take a day off tomorrow and go to teach the girl the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you very much for your care, Lord Liu." Ning Ning bowed gracefully, showing her elegance.

At this time, she had not yet removed her makeup or costume, and she still looked like the ethereal Magu. Even the knowledgeable butler had to be polite to her.

"Miss Chuchu, have a good rest. I'll send someone to bring you hot water later."

After saying that, the butler left quickly.

Ning Ning waited respectfully at the gate to see the housekeeper off before slowly entering Pian Garden.

This is a quaint little courtyard with some of the charm of Tang-style architecture. There are also small rockeries and potted plants in the courtyard. It will definitely be beautiful if it snows.

The only drawback is probably the lack of lighting. In ancient times, there were no electric lights and all lighting relied on candles, which made the place look dim and a bit eerie.

Ning Ning shook her head and slowly walked into the house, but as soon as she stepped into the door, she suddenly found someone inside.
