The two of them were in a stalemate when Qian Yi's voice suddenly came into their ears.
"Mistress, City Lord Su's personal servant requests an audience."
Lv Ruo...
Su Jinruo guessed that something must have happened, otherwise, with the sky just starting to brighten, there was no reason for Lv Ruo to come looking for her so early.
She looked at Shen Hancheng, and seeing that the matter of the accidental injury had not been resolved, she was afraid that she could not make the decision, and wanted to see Lv Ruo.
Shen Hancheng looked at Su Jinruo who was waiting for his answer, and saw her unblinkingly staring at him, extremely similar to a woman who was deeply in love, deeply looking at her husband, who she liked, without blinking.
Suddenly, Shen Hancheng's mouth formed a taunting smile.
It was unknown that he was ridiculing Su Jinruo because he was too engrossed in the singing and acting, putting into practice what he had said last night, and admired him for his performance.
He was still mocking her, treating her as a real woman, a youth who was thirty percent like a woman and seventy percent like a woman.
He turned around and floated in the air, his unrestrained, unruly red black robe floating like his entire body. "City Lord Su, your servant girl is looking for you, why aren't you washing up and changing?"
This is... You want to let her go?
Su Jinruo's personality had always been hard to fathom, especially after interacting with him.
He would also find out that this person decided his next move based on his feelings.
However, every time he did that, his next move carried a strong purpose behind it.
For example, during the archery competition, he had done whatever he wanted, but his goal was to test her.
He had entered the trap as he pleased this time. However, his goal was to find the person who had set the trap so that he would be able to avoid trouble in the future …
After interacting with Shen Hancheng for almost a month, he knew that Shen Hancheng was an opponent that couldn't be underestimated.
Therefore, he had to put down the hatred in his heart and pay extra attention to his words and actions. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would die without a burial.
At the beginning, he had been confident that he could guess three or four things from his mind, but now, it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to do so …
Su Jinruo sighed slowly in his heart.
Forget it …
Although Shen Hancheng had an eccentric personality, he didn't have any intentions of hurting her, so he decided to just take a step at a time.
Su Jinruo was not mistaken, something big had indeed happened to Lv Ruo when she was here.
Lv Ruo informed Su Jinruo that someone was causing trouble at Drunken Flower House.
If it was a brothel owner, they would certainly have some methods to deal with the troublemakers. Thus, it wasn't difficult for them to settle the issue.
However, Mu Jing could see that the things that were out of the ordinary about them, were not those of ordinary commoners, nor were they those of the martial arts world.
After thinking about it, Mu Jing still decided to look for Su Jinruo and make a decision so that he wouldn't provoke someone he shouldn't offend and bring her trouble.
Lv Ruo was waiting to settle the matter with Su Jinruo. When she saw the disturbance, Su Jinruo said to her: "Wait for a while, I want to have a chat with the prince."
"Yes, young master."
Su Jinruo looked at Shen Hancheng, who was seated on a dining table waiting for his meal, a pair of eyes that were as deep as the ocean looked over to his side with a calm gaze.
He had only promised Shen Hancheng yesterday that he would spend all his time eating with Shen Hancheng before the two empires met, but now, it was only the first day …
Su Jinruo's eyes flashed, she slowly walked forward, thought for a while, then said: "Prince, this official has some urgent matters to take care of. I'm afraid this official will …"
Shen Hancheng raised his hand to stop her from speaking and said lazily, "This king has never listened to excuses, City Lord Su only needs to give this king an explanation."
Su Jinruo cupped his hands: "If Your Highness does not mind, then this official is willing to accompany Your Highness for a few more days to eat."
Shen Hancheng raised his brows, he slightly shifted his gaze, and his gaze landed on Su Jinruo's body.
"This king is not satisfied with the explanation given by the City Lord Su."
Su Jinruo slightly tightened his brows, the corner of his lips hooked up into a soul-stirring smile, as he leisurely spoke out.
"If City Lord Su can't think of a satisfactory explanation for this king, rather than making this king angry, why don't City Lord Su make a bet with this king? If City Lord Su wins, this king will not pursue the matter of breakfast. If City Lord Su loses the bet …"
Su Jinruo looked at Shen Hancheng quietly, waiting for his next words.
A faint stream of light rose from the corner of Shen Hancheng's eyes as he smiled and said to Su Jinruo: "If City Lord Su loses, then I will punish this City Lord Su to bathe and change this king's clothes. How about it?!"
With that said, Qian Yi invisibly frowned, she looked at Shen Hancheng, and then looked at Su Jinruo, waiting for her reply.
However, Lv Ruo walked to Su Jinruo's side in a rather agitated manner. She secretly tugged at Su Jinruo's clothes, and said: "Sir, why don't you and Your Highness finish your breakfast. There's no rush with regards to Miss's matters."
[I can't let this young master suffer like this, it's fine if he wins, but what if he loses?]
There was no need to make Young Master suffer such grievances for a breakfast, to help a man … Bath and change clothes...
This … this … this can't be?
Young Master, she is a real woman!
How could he, how could he look at a man's body?
Furthermore, the young master couldn't even touch the prince. If he did, there would be trouble.
Shen Hancheng's gaze slowly drifted over Lv Ruo's body, with an extremely deep meaning.
Su Jinruo's heart tightened. The reason Lv Ruo said that to retreat was undoubtedly to tell him that Shen Hancheng, who suspected her true identity from the start, had a problem with her identity!
She looked at Lv Ruo with eyes that were filled with signs that only Lv Ruo could see them, "How can this be? This matter is extremely important to me, how can I lose because of a bet with the King. Therefore, she accepted the punishment of bathing and changing the clothes of the prince. But she felt that it was beneath her dignity, so she cowered? Lv Ruo, as my servant, how could you have such thoughts?! "
Lv Ruo understood the hint in Su Jinruo's eyes. She bit her lips and knelt down immediately, lowering her head and begging for forgiveness.
"Young master, this servant knows my mistake. Your highness's status is honorable. Even if it's young master who helps you bathe and change your clothes …" It made sense. It was this humble servant who was narrow-minded and had underestimated Jinruo. Prince, I hope that the Young Noble can forgive this servant, and this humble servant will not dare to do so again. "
Su Jinruo cupped his hands towards Shen Hancheng and said: "Your highness, this servant has been spoiled by this official. I do not know the severity of the problem, and do not understand the inferiority of the position, if it spoils your highness' mood, it's your fault, Your highness."
Shen Hancheng waved his hand. He looked at Lv Ruo who was kneeling on the ground and spoke with a faint voice, "This king does not wish to further investigate whether it was an unintentional mistake or a deliberate intention. Even if they are the City Lord Su's own maids, naturally the City Lord Su takes care of them herself. This king does not like to overstep his boundaries. "
"This official thanks Your Highness for his grace." Su Jinruo looked at Shen Hancheng, her black eyes as calm as a well, she said: "I choose to bet with Your Highness, and furthermore, I am willing to admit defeat, and indeed, I wish that Your Highness would also be the same. "I admit defeat!"
I thought Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng wanted to make things difficult for me, but who would have known …
"Young Master, Your Highness will give you a stick of incense and a cup of tea's time to return to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Lv Ruo muttered at the side.
From the Seventh Prince's point of view, he did not know what kind of issue the young master was going to deal with. It should be a guess that the young master was going back to the Prime Minister's Estate to settle some matters.
But the Seventh Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Estate weren't too far apart, and this trip didn't even take half a cup of tea's time.
Based on young master's ability to handle matters, at most half of the time would have been spent. That meant that the remaining incense stick's worth of time would have been added as well.
In this round, Seventh Prince's bet was that Young Master would not be able to return to the Seventh Prince's Mansion for lunch within the time it takes to burn an incense and half a cup of tea.
But according to these conditions, Seventh Prince was destined to lose!
"Gongzi, what do you think?"
Seeing that Su Jinruo did not respond to her, Lv Ruo asked again.
Su Jinruo's eyes were as calm as the night. After a moment of silence, she replied, "That may not be so."
They had a rule in this bet: the other party was not allowed to add pressure to each other. In other words, they were not allowed to interfere in each other's affairs and just let nature take its course.
Under such conditions, the young master might not be able to say it …
Lv Ruo's footsteps slowed down, and she was almost scared. She caught up to Su Jinruo's footsteps and reminded him: "Young master, you must win this bet no matter what. You can't lose, so what if you lose!"
Su Jinruo did not answer, she shot a glance at the Drunken Flower House entrance, where a large group of people was gathered.
There were men and women, old and young, ordinary people, and also people of the martial arts world.
She went around Drunken Flower House and turned a few corners before jumping into Mu Jing's room.
Mu Jing had already been waiting for a long time. After seeing Su Jinruo, he quickly stood up and said to her: "Young Master, I'm afraid that the calamity that I stirred up last time has finally come."
Su Jinruo sat on the orchid wooden chair and poured herself a cup of hot tea. She opened her mouth leisurely: "Tell me about the situation."
The best thing about Su Jinruo being by her side is that whenever you see her, she will always be calm and unperturbed like that.
It was as if in her eyes, there were no insurmountable difficulties. No matter how big the difficulties were, they would be easily solved if placed in her hands.
With her, even if your heart is so impetuous, will unwittingly, also calm down.
Regardless of whether the others thought the same as her, this was what Mu Jing felt.
Mu Jing gave a general idea about this matter.
Last night, a few customers in expensive clothes had first ordered Lian Wu, but since Lian Wu's body was still unwell, they did not receive him.
However, those people did not make things difficult for them. They only said that they should find a few more good-looking and sensible girls to accompany them.
These scenes were basically played out once every day in the Drunken Flower House, so Mu Jing didn't pay it any heed.
But just as dawn arrived, trouble came.
Those people first said that the girls she called did not fulfill their duty, and those girls were not dressed in the slightest, and were then chased out of the room by the few of them.
Then, Guai Qi explained the situation to them, they said that those girls could not be considered to be Feng Wu Chen women, but that they took the money to search for joy, just to enjoy, not to see them crying, was something they were unwilling to do.
Seeing that, Guai Qi could only ask the girls, those girls' eyes were filled with tears, and said that they wanted them to do weird actions, and if they did not do it well, they would start cursing and beating them.
