The shopkeeper was very tactful. He retreated quickly after hearing Shang Wenqi's words.

The two finally had peace in their ears. Ning Ning couldn't help but get excited. "I didn't expect the class owner and his men would also enter Hibiscus Garden. If they had told us earlier, we could still have joined the dance troupe."

"Didn't we enter Furong Garden?" Shang Wenqi said.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Ning Ning asked puzzledly.

"Newly arrived dance troupes generally cannot open a dance studio directly. They will perform in various restaurants and only when they gain a certain level of fame can they be invited to open a permanent dance studio."

"So that's it."

It was rare that Shang Wenqi was willing to explain, and Ning Ning saw through the fog as if the clouds had been cleared.

She thought that as long as she had money, she could open a dance studio. It turned out that she thought it was too simple.

Ning Ning continued to enjoy the dance troupe's dance with regret.

Ning Ning had seen this dance before, and had even created one for them, adding many ballet elements to it, making the already gorgeous dance even more graceful and standardized.

Coupled with the added bonus of the liquid foundation cosmetics that Ning Ning gave them, all in all, the dance performed by the Western Region Dance Troupe was very beautiful in both its movements and makeup.

The only pity is that as the first opening dance, it only served to warm up the audience and not many people appreciated it.

However, the dancers cherished the opportunity to perform and did not act casually just because there were few people.

The performance ended half an hour later, and many people around were seen throwing money into the dance floor, which was the greatest recognition for the dancers.

Ning Ning and Shang Wenqi had met them in their true colors, so it was not appropriate to show their faces at this time, so they did not throw money again. Instead, they said to the maids waiting outside the curtain: "If the boss wants to thank you later, please decline."

"Yes." The maid bowed respectfully.

Soon the Western Region Dance Troupe came down, and fine wine and delicious food also came in one after another.

Ning Ning admired the exquisite food served and soon found the highlight.

All the cups, plates and even the copper trays of the lamps on the table were golden yellow, and looked like they were either pure gold or painted with gold.

After all the servants had left, Ning Ning touched these things with trembling claws, wishing he could steal them all and put them into the system locker.

Regardless of whether it is pure gold or not, it’s not a bad deal just to paint it with gold!

If she could, she really wanted to scrape off the gold paint.

Gold paint is also gold...she needs it so much.

Shang Wenqi seemed to understand Ning Ning's expression. He said coldly: "If you dare to do such a shameful thing, I dare to chop off your hand."

Ning Ning was shocked: "You...how do you know what I'm thinking?"

"..."Shang Wenqi.

"Oh, you know the truth but don't say it out loud so that we can meet again in the future. Don't expose others next time." As she said this, she patted Shang Wenqi's arm shyly.

Shang Wenqi couldn't help but twitch his forehead and wanted to beat her up.

However, Shang Wenqi didn't bother with her because he just thought about it. After all, this girl was always unexpected. As long as he took action, she would definitely do something even more unbelievable to him.

Not long after, more guests came in. Among these people, Shang Wenqi saw one of them and couldn't help but pat Ning Ning.

Ning Ning was not stupid. She followed Shang Wenqi's gaze without him saying anything.

The people coming were a group of young men in their thirties, all with broad shoulders and long legs. You could tell at a glance that they were martial artists.

The most important thing is that one of them looks very familiar, and is 80% similar to the person in Ning Ning's painting!

She couldn't help but excitedly said, "That's the guy!"

Ning Ning's voice was clearly suppressed, but the person opposite suddenly glanced towards them.

Ning Ning was stunned, suspecting that he had heard what she said.

At this moment, Shang Wenqi next to him raised his glass and saluted the man from a distance.

The man was stunned at first, then said something to his companions, and then all of them followed him.

Soon these people arrived in front of Shang Wenqi and Ning Ning.

Their target smiled and saluted Shang Wenqi: "I didn't expect that Lord Shang would appear in Furong Garden. What a rare guest."

"I usually want to have some fun while on duty but I have no energy to do so. Starting today, I will have plenty of opportunities. Do you want to sit with me?"

"Uh, no. We from the Qing History Department will be here later. We heard that something unhappy happened in your court. In order to avoid upsetting Lord Qing History Department, we will come here to say hello and then leave. Please forgive us, Lord Shang."

"Please go ahead." Shang Wenqi didn't force him to stay.

Gong Ming glanced at Ning Ning without leaving a trace, then saluted Shang Wenqi and went back with his companions.

Seeing this, Ning Ning couldn't help but get excited: "So you really know him! This is the guy who came to my house before."

Shang Wenqi nodded and said nothing more, just drinking seriously.

As a mercenary, Ning Ning often did things like disguise and conduct secret investigations, so she was not in a hurry to arrest anyone, but calmly acted with Shang Wenqi.

After all, she is now playing the role of a little pheasant dancer, so she has to play the role well.

Shang Wenqi looked at Ning Ning who was leaning half of her body on him. Although the place was filled with the smell of perfumed powder, he still accurately captured the scent of white camellia belonging to Ning Ning.

Although it was just an act, there was no need to make it so realistic. However, no matter what he thought, his body had its own ideas. In short, Shang Wenqi did not push Ning Ning away.

Not long after, Doctor Li from the Qing History Department of the Ministry of Justice, who had confronted Shang Wenqi in the court, indeed arrived.

Not long after he sat down, Gong Ming whispered something in his ear. Doctor Li then looked at Shang Wenqi with a provocative and malicious look, and even looked at Ning Ning with his eyes full of aggression.

Ning Ning put on a full show and immediately nestled in Shang Wenqi's arms, looking as innocent and cute as Bambi.

Doctor Li was stunned and his expression became strange: "Who is the woman next to Shang Wenqi?"

"I don't know." Gong Ming answered honestly.

"When did this guy become so intimate with another woman? Wasn't he trying to become Princess Zhuang Yan's lover? Did the princess dump him?"

"As far as I know, Princess Zhuang Yan still respects him and has not had any rift with him."

"So, this woman was just a showman? Oh, could it be that he still wants to target me? Has he forgotten that you have already dismissed him?"

"I just checked and he said he was just here for fun."

"Humph, I don't believe a dog can change its nature. How can he indulge in the land of pleasure? Don't make me laugh to death. He obviously knew we would come here to celebrate tonight and followed us on purpose."

"So...should we come back another day?"

"What are you afraid of? We have the emperor's order. He should be the one to avoid." Doctor Li's face was full of disdain.

Gong Ming lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

At this time, Ning Ning was drooping in Shang Wenqi's arms, but was actually chatting with them.

"Do you think they will believe that you are just here for fun?"
