Chapter 450 - : Meeting Bing Ji Again
Chapter 450: Meeting Bing Ji Again
It turned out that Lu Sheng’s decision was right.
Along the way, they heard a lot of beautiful music.
On the big boat, one could still admire beauties dancing.
Of course, there was quite a distance between the boats. However, to Lu Sheng, who had good eyesight and good hearing, this did not affect her enjoying the free singing and dancing.
“Those dancers are doing well. However, they look familiar.”
When their boat passed by a big boat, that boat was parked in the middle of Ruoshui River. There were singers and dancers, and it was very lively.
Chu Sihan looked over. It took him a while to realize why Lu Sheng felt that the dancers were familiar.
“They are the group of Gu people we saved.”
Lu Sheng suddenly understood.
No wonder how she looked at them, they looked familiar.
Last time, after those Gu people were brought back to the government office to remove the Gu, Chu Sihan got someone to give them some money and send them away.
He did not expect them to be good at singing and dancing. They were quite capable at making a living.
Just as their boat was about to overtake the big boat, a dancer suddenly flew over and landed lightly on their boat.
The boat shook before stabilizing.
Due to this dancer’s actions, the other dancers and singers stopped. Even the guests on the boat came out to watch.
Chu Sihan’s face darkened and he quickly ordered the boatman to stop.
“May I know what business you have?”
Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and asked.
This dancer did not have any murderous intent towards them, so Lu Sheng’s tone was very calm.
“I’m guilty for disturbing your river tour!”
The dancer bowed respectfully to the two of them and said, “I came over to thank Lord Chu and Miss for saving me. I left in a hurry previously and haven’t thanked the two of you yet.”
“So you’re our saviors!”
The dancers on the big boat were suddenly enlightened.
They lined up and thanked the duo in unison.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “It’s nothing. Don’t worry.”
If Chu Sihan had not been smart and prescribed the medicine first, they would have died from internal bleeding before Lu Sheng could do anything.
The dancer explained, “We were originally a group of singers and dancers from Nanyi Country. Later, we were sold to the market by the owner, which resulted in us falling into the hands of the An Luo Sect. Now, seven of us have died, leaving eight behind.”
“Your qinggong seems to be good. Why didn’t you escape when you were bought into the market?”
Lu Sheng was very curious. Just now, this girl’s qinggong seemed to be very smooth.
The dancer smiled. “I previously learned some qinggong from a young master. However, there are many skilled martial artists in the market. With my skills, I can’t escape from them.”
Let alone An Luo Sect.
“I see.”
Lu Sheng smiled faintly. She glanced at the boat and raised her eyebrows. “It seems like you’ve already found the next way out.”
“Yes!”
The dancer smiled gently. “Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to you two for saving me. I can’t repay your great kindness…”
“Wait!”
When Lu Sheng heard these familiar words, she hurriedly interrupted her.
“I don’t need you to devote your lives to me. He belongs to me alone. There’s even less need for you to devote your lives to him.”
Chu Sihan coughed lightly and felt like laughing.
The dancer was stunned for a moment before she burst into laughter.
The dancers and singers on the big boat also giggled.
“Miss, you’ve misunderstood!”
That dancer smiled and said, “I, Yan Fei, am their sister. What I want to say is that I have nothing to repay you with. However, if the two of you need us in the future, we will definitely not say anything even if we have to go over a mountain of blades or a sea of flames.”
“Really?”
Lu Sheng tapped her nose awkwardly and laughed dryly at Yan Fei.
The dancers and singers on the big boat were laughing so hard that Lu Sheng felt a little ashamed.
She had indeed watched too many dramas and thought that she had wanted to devote herself to them.
“We’re at the North Court Music Hall now. If you have anything in the future, you can find us there.”
As Yan Fei spoke, she bowed to the duo again. “Then, I won’t disturb your river tour anymore. Goodbye!”
“Goodbye!”
After Yan Fei returned to the big boat, Chu Sihan let the boatman continue sailing downstream.
“Was I… very embarrassing just now?”
Lu Sheng asked hesitantly.
“No!”
Chu Sihan shook his head and chuckled as he hugged her.
The garden with wattles that Fu Sisi mentioned was in the downstream region of Ruoshui River.
The two banks of the river were full of wattles. The spring breeze blew and the flowers bloomed.
Flower petals scattered on the river surface and flowed down the river. From afar, it looked like a pink river.
If she had not thrown her phone away before she died, Lu Sheng would have wanted to record this scene.
She squatted down and gently removed a petal. The river water and flower petals slid past her palm before returning to the surface of the river.
“Cousin, Miss Lu!”
A familiar voice was heard from afar.
The duo turned their heads and saw a boat parked a few meters away from their boat.
On the boat, Fu Sisi was waving her hands non-stop while Yun Ting stood beside her.
“Miss Sisi, Young Master Yun!”
When Lu Sheng saw this, she hurriedly stood up and waved at the two of them with a smile.
She wanted to ask them along but in the end, they were one step ahead of them.
On the other side, Fu Sisi’s and Yun Ting’s boat was approaching.
Soon, the two boats were side by side.
“Why are you in the mood for a river tour today?”
As he approached, Yun Ting asked Chu Sihan faintly.
Chu Sihan raised an eyebrow. “Are you the only one allowed to be carefree?”
Yun Ting was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, “Do you know who we met just now?”
Chu Sihan glanced at him lightly, seemingly uninterested.
“Hey, Brother Chu, don’t be so cold. You should at least ask.”
Chu Sihan looked disgusted. “Since when did you like to talk so much like Shi Yi?”
“It’s not like we’ve met a good person. Why should we tell Cousin? It’ll just spoil our mood.”
Fu Sisi spoke unhappily.
Lu Sheng scanned the two of them and realized that Yun Ting looked like he was enjoying himself while Fu Sisi looked gloomy.
Two faces flashed across her mind.
She raised her eyebrows and guessed, “Could it be that… you met Bing Ji?”
The duo looked at her in surprise.
Lu Sheng was speechless. It seemed like she had guessed correctly.
“How did Miss Lu know?” Yun Ting was very curious.
“I guessed.”
“How did you guess?” Fu Sisi was very curious.
Lu Sheng smiled and blinked at her. “It’s a secret.”
The only person who could make Fu Sisi look like this was either Fu Yiyi or Bing Ji.
However, the possibility of Bing Ji was higher.
That was because Fu Yiyi seemed to have been forced by Mdm Fu and Matriarch Fu to stay home recently.
She had also heard this news from Yu Linglong by chance.
“Miss Lu really has amazing foresight to be able to guess this!”
Fu Sisi looked at her in admiration.
Even Yun Ting admired her, let alone Fu Sisi.
He did not expect Lu Sheng to guess correctly.
Hence, he cupped his hands and said, “Miss Lu’s hit rate is really admirable!”
Chu Sihan glanced at him lightly and smiled.
His girl was amazing!
“Oh right, we came early and watched an interesting show for free.”
Yun Ting looked at Chu Sihan and asked, “Brother Chu, do you want to hear about it?”
“What interesting matter?”
Seeing that there was gossip, Lu Sheng immediately leaned over with interest. “If the Lord doesn’t want to listen, I will.”
Yun Ting chuckled. “When you came over, did you encounter a big boat with a group of dancers and singers on it?”
Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Sihan.
“It seems like you did?”
Yun Ting said, “Do you know what the Bing Ji said to those dancers on the boat?”
“What did she say?” Lu Sheng was curious.
Fu Sisi said sarcastically, “She said that those dancers are shameless. They’re dancing on the boat in such cold weather and are obviously trying to seduce men.”
Lu Sheng was speechless.
Pot calling the kettle black.
How could a person who had sold her body in a brothel have the cheek to laugh at a group of people who sold their art in a music hall?
“And then?”
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “She felt that no one in Lin Jiang Mansion knew her, so she deliberately insulted them?”
“Yes!”
Fu Sisi snorted coldly. “She’s just bragging about being a beauty in the capital. Who would know her in these places?”
Lu Sheng understood. In her previous life, when she surfed the internet, she more or less understood this.
For example, a certain celebrity would always market herself as the most beautiful person in the entertainment circle even though she was not that beautiful. Or, she would bribe someone to release her work.
To put it bluntly, although the effect was minimal, everyone’s aesthetics were different. There would always be someone who liked their looks. This was also a kind of success.
Bing Ji was similar to those celebrities.
“Then… what did the dancers say?”
“How is that possible?”
Fu Sisi smiled and said, “She was just trying to stir up trouble. They ignored her. Moreover, she’s wearing thin clothes and revealing more than others. Any fool would know who’s the one trying to seduce a man.”
“Chuckle…”
Lu Sheng could not help but say, “That Bing Ji is actually a retard, right?”
Fu Sisi was puzzled. “What’s a retard?”
“A retard means… a fool.”
“Isn’t that so?”
Fu Sisi could not help but chuckle.
The two of them smiled happily. Chu Sihan and Yun Ting, who were standing behind them, could not help but smile.
“Lord Chu!”
Suddenly, a coquettish voice was heard. Lu Sheng’s and Fu Sisi’s smiles immediately fell.
The duo looked up at the same time and saw a boat approaching.
Bing Ji was standing outside. She wore a pink dress, which blended with the surrounding wattles.
Beside her stood four maids carrying baskets filled with wattles.
“Why is she here?”
Fu Sisi’s eyes widened and she stepped onto Lu Sheng’s and Chu Sihan’s boat. She stood beside Lu Sheng and shielded Chu Sihan behind her.
She rolled up her sleeves and said angrily, “She’s a toad who wants to eat swan meat. I’ll curse her to death!”
Lu Sheng, Chu Sihan, and Yun Ting looked at each other. For a moment, the three of them did not know whether to laugh or cry.
How much did this little girl hate Bing Ji?
Otherwise, why would she be angry before the person involved had even stomped her foot?
“Lord Chu, why are you here?”
The boat stopped opposite them. Ignoring Fu Sisi, who was ‘eyeing her covetously,’ Bing Ji looked past her and greeted Chu Sihan.
Chu Sihan was speechless.
“What are you shouting for?”
Fu Sisi placed her hands on her waist and glared at Bing Ji. “My cousin doesn’t know you.”
“Oh, Miss Fu, what are you saying?”
Bing Ji lifted her chin and glanced at Fu Sisi. Then, she revealed a charming smile at Chu Sihan. “Bing Ji has seen Lord Chu more than ten times. How can Lord Chu not know Bing Ji?”
Lu Sheng glanced at Chu Sihan.
However, he frowned and looked extremely disdainful.
“Cousin, do you know her?”
Fu Sisi turned around and asked Chu Sihan.
“No.”
Chu Sihan replied indifferently.
She had seen him more than ten times, but that did not mean that he was the same.
Moreover, he usually did not remember people whom he did not care.
As for Bing Ji, the reason why he remembered her name was because she had some ties with the Crown Prince previously.
“How can Lord Chu say that?”
Bing Ji used the fan in her hand to cover her face and sobbed. “Ever since I saw Lord, I have always had a crush on you. It has not changed even until today. Lord, you are deliberately stabbing my heart!”
Yun Ting’s lips twitched and he tried his best to suppress his laughter.
Lu Sheng laughed.
She suddenly felt that Bing Ji was quite interesting.
She did not know if she was telling the truth, but it sounded funny.
Unlike the two of them, Chu Sihan was speechless while Fu Sisi was furious.
“Hah—”
She huffed angrily. “How dare you drool over my cousin? You should lower your head and look at your reflection in the water. Be careful not to scare yourself to death.”
Bing Ji moved the fan away. There were barely any tears on her face.
“Miss Fu, you’re wrong!”
She said aggrievedly, “Lord Chu is unmarried, and Bing Ji is unmarried. So what if Bing Ji has a crush on him?”
Then, she even acknowledged Chu Sihan.
Chu Sihan’s expression darkened, but Lu Sheng’s shoulders shook from laughing.
“Who said that my cousin is unmarried?”
Fu Sisi pulled Lu Sheng to the front. “Do you see her? This is my future cousin-in-law. She’s so beautiful that you’ll be too ashamed to show your face.”
“Ah…”
Lu Sheng, who was suddenly pulled out, was stunned before coughing lightly.
Then, she smiled at Bing Ji and said, “Miss Bing Ji, how are you?”
“Hah.”
Bing Ji sized Lu Sheng up and snorted coldly.
“I was much prettier than her when I was in my teens.”
Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled without saying anything.
“Hah~”
Fu Sisi rolled her eyes at her. “You speak as if it’s true.”
Who knew what she looked like in her teens?
“Sigh—”
Bing Ji sighed faintly and revealed a sad expression.
She looked at Chu Sihan bitterly and said, “All men like young girls. I thought that you were different from others. I didn’t expect you to be the same.”
She glanced at Lu Sheng disdainfully. “How are these girls good? At the end of the day, their skin is just a bit tender. Other than that, how can they compare to Bing Ji?”
She smiled and stared at Chu Sihan ambiguously. “Bing Ji is good at taking care of people in all aspects.”
Everyone was speechless.
