Chapter 174 – Tang Li Said, “Get Me A Suona.
Chapter 174 Tang Li Said, “Get Me A Suona.”
Lucia stared at Tang Li and sneered, thinking to herself, “I am the student of a famous pianist, especially now that the instruments of the Imperial Capital have been replaced by Western instruments. If they can be replaced, it means that they are inferior to Western instruments. Since you want to embarrass yourself, I’ll grant you your wish.
However, to Tang Li, she said differently, “I’ve always been curious about why the instruments of the Imperial Capital were so famous in the last century but are replaced by Western instruments in the recent decades.”
“Miss Lucia, we shall see.” Tang Li chuckled. “Imperial instruments are irreplaceable.”
“Since it is irreplaceable, why does everyone in the Imperial Capital want to learn Western instruments?” These words made many people uncomfortable.
Some people commented, “Because Western instruments are more domineering and graceful when they’re played!”
Hearing that, Lucia smiled triumphantly.
She looked at Tang Li and waited for her to respond to that.
Tang Li did not answer her question. Instead, she said, “Whether Western instruments are domineering or not, we shall see very soon… Miss Lucia, don’t you think we need some stimulants to make it more interesting?”
“Stimulants?”
“That’s right. By stimulants, I mean the loser must do something the winner says.”
Hearing this, Lucia was delighted.
The others looked at Tang Li like she was crazy. Lucia nodded. “Sure. Let’s do it the way it is done in the Imperial Capital.” “Okay.” Tang Li suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes. She said, “If I win, you’ll let Tiancheng go.”
The entire banquet hall fell into a dead silence. Everyone looked at Tang Li with complicated expressions.
Both Lucia and Milus had a mocking look on their faces.
Qi Yihan, who was standing beside Tang Li, was the only one who remained calm and silent.
It was obvious that he silently agreed to her giving them a lesson.
Then, people who came to their senses discussed quietly.
“Is Fourth Madam crazy? How dare she challenge Miss Lucia?” “Where did she get the courage to make such a condition? Not to mention whether she knows an imperial instrument or not, even if she knows, Western instruments are far superior than imperial ones.”
“Well, she obviously overestimated herself.”
“She is going to embarrass herself!”
“Alright.” As Lucia agreed, the chatter stopped. Lucia looked at Tang Li with disdain. “Since Fourth Madam mentions that disgusting man today…”
At this point, she glanced at Qi Yihan before turning to Tang Li. Her gaze flickered for a moment before she smiled and said, “If I win, I want you to say in front of everyone that you like Bai Qingyang.”
Tang Li narrowed her eyes and looked at Lucia, who had a smug look on her face. “Sure thing.”
Everyone was struck dumb.
These two women were crazy. Didn’t they sense a murderous aura going on around Fourth Master?
Since the two of them had agreed to compete, it was about time to get instruments ready.
Lucia raised her chin and said, “Just get me a piano.”
There was definitely a piano in this kind of hotel. The hotel manager quickly got someone to bring the piano over.

While everyone was making various guesses, Tang Li said, “Get me a Suona.”
Everyone was struck dumb.
Fourth Madam, are you sure you’re not here to make fun of yourself?
Suona? That was such an inferior Imperial instructment.
At the mention of Suona, both Lucia and Milus burst out laughing.
Milus even kindly advised, “Fourth Madam, there are many instruments in the Imperial Capital. I think you can choose one that suits this occasion.”
Tang Li smiled and said as arrogantly as she could, “I think Suona suits this occasion perfectly.”
With that, she asked the hotel Manager who was still in a daze, “Is there a Suona here?”
The hotel manager gulped nervously. He first glanced at Qi Yihan, who remained silent, and then replied, “Fourth Madam, there’s no Suona here. If you want, I can get someone to buy it immediately.”
“That would be great.”
The hotel manager quickly instructed someone to buy a Suona. At this moment, people couldn’t help but start discussing quietly.
Lucia looked at Tang Li, who was becoming the topic of discussion, and a smug smile appeared on her face. “I didn’t expect Fourth Madam to have such a unique taste in instruments.”
Tang Li looked at Lucia and smiled as well. “I don’t know if Miss Lucia has heard of it or not, but Suona is the king of all instruments in our country. There’s a saying among the people that goes, ‘The sound of the Suona indicates the end of a drama’. What do you think about this saying?”
Lucia stopped smiling. She snorted and said in a deep voice, “Then we’ll see who ends the drama later.”
She then looked at Qi Yihan and asked, “Mr. Qi, if your wife says she likes someone else, will you be angry?”
Qi Yihan glanced at her coldly and turned to look at the confident Tang Li. He wanted to take his wife back and punish her for making such a bet even if he knew she was confident in defeating Miss Lucia.
The fact that she wanted to make this bet made him feel like she really liked that guy named Bai Qingyang. Thinking of this, he was furious.
It seemed like it was not enough to just throw Bai Qingyang to South Africa. He should’ve thrown him into the mine in the middle of South Africa.
Tang Li could tell that Qi Yihan was angry, so she blinked at him, as if saying, “This is just a trap I set up. You are not angry with me, are
you?”
Qi Yihan responded with a blink, as if saying, “I am angry.”
Tang Li shook her head helplessly.
The waiter soon brought over a very high-end piano. Lucia walked over to tune it up.
At that moment, a group of people from the Qi family surrounded Tang Li.
“Fourth sister-in-law, are you sure you can defeat Lucia?” Second Master felt that Tang Li was just messing around by asking for a Suona.
Second Madam was so angry that her words became sarcastic. “Tang Li, is there something wrong with your brain? If you lost to Lucia over instruments, not only will my son be unable to get out, he will also become the joke of everyone. Let me tell you, since you’ve taken so many antiques from me, if you can’t save my son, I’ll definitely fight you to the death!” At this moment, First Master also put on the airs of a big brother and said to her, “If you and Fourth Brother want to help Tiancheng out, then you should be more serious about it. If you do this, not only will you not be able to save him, you will also embarrass our Qi family. If Father finds out, he will definitely be very angry.”
Although the others did not speak, they all looked at Tang Li accusingly.
Tang Li could not be bothered to answer them. She tilted her head to look at how Qi Yihan reacted.
