Lady Su’s Revenge

Chapter 157 - Two Lovebirds in the River



Chapter 157 Two Lovebirds in the River

Clank—

The sound of the zither resolved the embarrassment between the two people.

Following the sound, Ling Li saw Qu Lu who was hazy in the gauze. With his eyes brightened, Ling Li said, “Ah! Isn’t this Miss Qu? I only saw Brother Sheng and Miss Su Li just now but did not notice that Miss Qu was on the ship. It’s my fault!”

Qu Lu gave him a pleasant smile, and then she said sweetly behind the gauze, “Today, I am just a maidservant to play the zither for you. Childe Ling, don’t be nervous. First Prince, the dishes are going to cool down. It is better to start the feast.”

Reminded by Qu Lu, Dongfang Sheng immediately come to his senses from rage. He almost forgot that Su Li was still waiting on the side.

Dongfang Sheng calmed himself down and sat down. He said, “Waiter! Serve the dishes! Since Brother Ling is here, I should treat you well.”

Immediately, some people got on the boat and added a table. Ling Li moved the wheelchair to the feast table, then he immediately slanted his eyes and saw Su Li who was sitting next to him. He grinned and said,

“Oh, is this the first talented girl in Yunjing City, Miss Su Li? I am glad to meet you. Miss Su is really a born beauty, just like… yes, just like a fairy from heaven! Compared to Wu Xiuxiu and other common girls, you are really beautiful!”

It was funny that Ling Li said with his startled expression. Su Li couldn’t help but giggle. She didn’t know Ling Li could be so funny.

Dongfang Sheng was angry, because he thought that Su Li was so young that she was deceived by Ling Li. She was teased by Ling Li. It was him who asked Su Li to come here and talked about business. But in the end, it became a place of flirting for Ling Li. He had a feeling of grievance that he was cheated but he couldn’t tell anyone.

“Ling Li!”

It was unbearable. Dongfang Sheng shouted. Immediately, the entire ship was quiet.

Ling Li snorted inside, but he pretended to be confused. He said, “Brother Sheng, if there is something I can do, just call me. Why did your you shout? It is not good to scare Miss Su Li.”

Dongfang Sheng was furious and held back the urge to scold. He said with a cold smile, “Brother Ling, your body is so weak that you should have more food and talk less. I want to consult Miss Su Li about something.”

“Hey!” Ling Li patted his wheelchair handle and said, “Brother Ling, you should tell me earlier. I will be silent on the side. Please talk…”

Then, Ling Li actually began to eat and drink regardless anyone else.

Dongfang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. His forehead sweated after the rage. He wiped his head without any traces, then he smiled and praised aloud, “Since you entered Yunjing, you had been known across the whole city. Today I am so glad to see you here. It is true that people who has good reputation must be brilliant. Today I have no regrets because I see you in person.”

Su Li smiled and revealed her white teeth. She said gently, “First Prince, I am flattered. I know that I don’t deserve this reputation. But my master is too famous and I just took advantage of him.”

“Hey! Don’t say that.”

Dongfang Sheng waved his hand and said, “An accomplished disciple owes his accomplishment to his great teacher. Since the royal preceptor could help my father take the power, he must have some merits. I admired the royal preceptor for a long time. Can you introduce him to me?”

“Ah…”

Su Li hesitated. Dongfang Sheng thought he had chance, so, he continued to try to persuade her. Suddenly, a voice with vulgar words sounded suddenly.

“Di Shi? I know! Isn’t she the most famous prostitute in Hongcui House? I remember clearly that I was going to order her that day but I didn’t expect that you ordered her before. I was disappointed for a long time!”

Ling Li took a chicken drumstick in his right hand and grinned with a greasy mouth. Dongfang Sheng was nervous in an instant. He saw that Su Li became serious quickly. Everyone would be unhappy when his master was insulted like this.

Dongfang Sheng was angry about the disturbance. He wanted so much to stab the arrogant disabled teenager to death. He rushed to Ling Li and finally he couldn’t conceal his intention of killing inside. He overturned the table at one stroke and said angrily,

“Ling Li, I was saving your face. Don’t go too far!”

Ling Li tilted his head and picked his ears. He nonchalantly said, “Brother Sheng, what are you doing? I just told the truth. Why are you so angry with me? If I make you unhappy, you can ask me to leave. Why did you pretend to invite me to drink and eat meat? You are so hypocritical.”

“…You!”

Dongfang Sheng stared at Ling Li. He was so furious that his hands were shaking. Ling Li was so shameless. He was not only shameless, but also simply didn’t know what shame was!

“It is really unfortunate that the Ling Family has such a descendant!”

Dongfang Sheng scolded in a roundabout way. But Ling Li nodded expertly and said, “I am flattered. If you have nothing else, I am leaving, or you will say that I bully you to the extreme.”

Then, Ling Li moved his wheelchair to the bank as if nothing happened. Dongfang Sheng was so raged that he was close to spiting blood. He was trying his best to preventing himself from throttling this little bastard.

Su Li looked cold but she still watched her behaviors. She bowed slightly and said, “It is too late. You’d better go back and rest early. As for my master, I can’t decide for him. When he comes to Yunjing, I will inform you. I am leaving. Please stay, your majesty.”

The First Prince was going to say something, but finally he failed to say a word. Because of Ling Li, he lost his composure and fell into confusion. Su Li left suddenly, and he didn’t know what to do about that.

“Ling Li! Ling Qinglan. This isn’t over!”

He angrily growled and did not notice that Su Li and Ling Li almost disappeared on the shore at the same time.

After Qu Lu came out from the gauze, she ordered the servants to clean up. She walked to the First Prince and whispered, “First Prince, you were impulsive.”

Dongfang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, “The little bastard bullied me too much. It is hateful that he made me lose face in front of Su Li.”

Qu Lu was a little disappointed. She said, “You never thought that maybe it wasn’t a coincidence that Ling Li suddenly appeared here tonight. Maybe someone deliberately instructed him to do this?”

Dongfang Sheng was stunned. He thought for a while and turned back to look at Qu Lu, “You mean…”

“Ling Qinglan!”

Qu Lu said the name in a low voice, which made Dongfang Sheng immediately become angry.

“Ling Li is an idiot. Of course, he doesn’t have the ability to think about this kind of thing. But it makes sense that Ling Qinglan instructed him to mess up on the feast you prepared for Su Li. Playboys always pester people, and that’s what they do. Even if Ling Qinglan didn’t teach him on purpose, Ling Li can do it very well. Perhaps, Ling Li is not an idiot like we know …”

The more Qu Lu said, the more serious Dongfang Sheng was. Ling Li was a playboy even before he was disabled. He couldn’t know how to hide natural instincts before he was born. So, he must be guided Ling Qinglan.

“Rest assured, your majesty. Although Su Li refused your good intentions, but she didn’t say that it is impossible. You still have a chance. Hehuan Sect will help you. The Third Prince is not a big deal.”

After Qu Lu comforted him, the First Prince became calm. He gave a fist and palm salute and said, “Lady Qu, thank you. You guys in Jianghu are loyal to friends. I want to do something for you. If you have something that I can help, do not hesitate to ask me.”

Qu Lu’s eyes were brightened and her worry faded away soon. She said with a chuckle, “Thank you. You are so kind, your majesty. Hehuan Sect now has no difficulties. If it has any, I will ask you for help.”

“That’s good, haha…”

They talked happily, but Qu Lu sighed inside. She thought she could find a way from the First Prince. But the performance of Dongfang Sheng made her understand that there was only one choice for her. At least, Mr. Li seemed to be less reckless and stupid compared with the First Prince.

The river was rippling. The night in the Hongyan House was peaceful and quiet.

Under the surface of the river, Su Li came back in black tights. She hided under the ship and eavesdropped the conversation between Qu Lu and the First Prince.

It turned out that Hehuan Sect was one patron of Dongfang Sheng…

Su Li’s eyes were lit. Qu Lu concealed something to her. Because they just cooperated, Su Li understood that it’s only human nature. But it did not mean that she would not blame her for this after she knew it.

Between the First Prince and the Third Prince, Su Li chose the First Prince without hesitation. It didn’t mean that she thought highly of First Prince. The truth was that she was confused that why First Prince would invite her here. The location of the Hongyan House was common to others, but Su Li knew that it was the stronghold of Hehuan Sect.

As for Third Prince, he had a connection with Ling Li. Ling Qinglan mediated in them, so she didn’t have to waste time.

Clump, clump, clump…

There was a sound of footsteps on the boat. Qu Lu and the First Prince left one by one. Several servants were clearing away the dishes on the ship.

Su Li heard for a moment in silence and noticed that the First Prince’s guards left. She immediately floated and was about to leave.

Suddenly—

The water churned. Before Su Li floated, she saw a familiar and handsome face not far from her in the dark water. Su Li opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Ling Li!

He also went back and hid under the ship!

Perhaps both of them were vigilant enough and were afraid that the guards who reached the innate realm noticed them. Therefore, they didn’t spread the psychic awareness to explore others and they also controlled the flow of the water. Their positions of eavesdropping were only a few inches away, but they didn’t notice each other.

Ling Li was also shocked. He did not expect that Su Li would come back to do the same thing as him. She had no reason to do so.

Babble!

Maybe it’s because that they were so close to each other, so, Su Li breathed slightly quickly. A bubble rose from the surface of the water and made a soft sound.

Ling Li immediately frowned and embraced Su Li’s thin waist unexpectedly. He pressed his cold lips overbearingly against Su Li’s and took her tight body to sink deeper and flow along the river.
