Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.

A middle-aged woman who still had charm came in, twisting her waist.

As soon as she stepped into the door of Wanjingtang, she threw a coquettish glance at Liang Su as if no one was around, and walked to Liang Su's side in a delicate manner.

"Oh, there are guests at Wanjing Hall today. Look at me. I came here in a hurry when I heard that the master was coming back. I didn't even put on my clothes properly..."

Xu was wearing an outfit no different from that of a brothel girl, with half of her shoulders exposed. As she spoke, she did not forget to twist her shoulders.

Mrs. Li felt indescribably disgusted when she saw her coquettish behavior.

Liang Su was also obviously a little surprised, and asked in an unhappy tone: "What are you doing here?"

"Master..." She said to Liang Su in a tender voice, "Master, you haven't taken the medicine for lunch today. Look, if I hadn't been careful..."

Liang Su waved his hand impatiently and refused to drink the medicine she handed over: "You go out first."

"Master, are you impatient with me... or do you not want Rou'er anymore because you have another fairy?"

Liang Su was completely confused, and Madam Li was still present.

What she said is irrelevant.

Also, why would she suddenly come to Wanjingtang if she was fine?

Liang Su was already unhappy, and now he was trying to suppress his urge to get angry. He said to Xu sternly, "Get out."

"master……"

"go out."

Madam Li, who was standing by, looked at the scene curiously. She asked Liang Su a soul-searching question: "Sir Liang, who is this..."

Mrs. Xu raised her chin proudly to Madam Li who was sitting across from her: "I am the master's..."

Xu was about to say that she was Liang Su's concubine, but before she could finish her words, Liang Su beside her coughed.

Liang Su took over her words: "Madam Li, she is a singer who sings little songs in the mansion."

Liang Su's answer obviously embarrassed Xu. Xu looked at Liang Su unhappily, but Liang Su pretended not to notice that she was angry. He introduced her helplessly, "This is Madam Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Xu was dumbfounded.

An hour ago, a maid suddenly came to report that the master had brought an old witch back to the mansion. She described it with details and even said that the master took the old witch to Wanjing Hall for lunch.

She felt a sense of crisis.

After spending an hour dressing up in the room, she rushed to Wanjing Hall to declare her sovereignty.

Now tell her that this old witch is Madam Li?

The wife of the Minister of Honglu Temple?

Xu accepted this fact with great difficulty. She smiled stiffly and bowed to Madam Li: "Greetings, Madam Li."

"Are you the singer of the palace?"

Xu admitted her identity as a singer reluctantly: "Yes, yes... I am a singer."

"But I heard that Lord Liang never likes women, so how come there is a singing girl in his mansion?"

"This... I... I was selling myself on the street just to buy a coffin for my deceased father. Who would have thought that I would meet Lord Liang. Lord Liang was kind-hearted and took me back to his mansion to be a singer..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Li responded as if nothing had happened: "Oh, so that's how it is. The atmosphere in Lord Liang's mansion is really good, and the singing girl can also go to class."

Liang Su was embarrassed. He touched the tip of his nose and said, "The mansion has always been more tolerant of servants..."

Mrs. Li had a meaningful smile on her lips.

When Liang Su saw the smile on Mrs. Li's face, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He tugged at Xu's clothes under the table and told her to leave quickly.

Xu didn't understand, but still listened to Liang Su.

She pinched her fingers again, held the soup bowl in both hands, and walked out swayingly.

"Wait a minute." Mrs. Li called out to Xu.

Xu's body stiffened. She turned around first, then her head. Xu smiled and said, "Madam, is there anything else you need?"

"You are a singer, so of course you can sing."

Xu swallowed her saliva and smiled awkwardly: "My singing is not good."

Mrs. Li didn't care about her flattery.

Originally, she came to bring Li Ruo to apologize, but who would have thought that Liang Su, relying on his upper hand, would ridicule her in public.

Ha ha.

She was the wife of a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites, and it had been many years since she had suffered such humiliation.

If she had to blame anyone, she could only blame herself for running into her own gun.

Mrs. Li had a smile on her face, but it was a smile without any kindness: "Don't be modest. Being too modest is just arrogance."

"I...I really am..." Xu evaded the question, and looked at Liang Su for help. Liang Su was about to speak to help her, but then he heard Madam Li say, "Or is it that my reputation is not big enough for you to sing a song? It's okay, I will go back and talk to my master and ask him to invite you to sing a song."

The words were said in a joking tone, but it didn't make the same sense to other people's ears.

When Xu listened to what Madam Li said, a thousand horses were galloping through her heart.

This Madam Li hurt Shengsheng first and humiliated her later.

It's really not a good thing.

Xu said with difficulty: "Madam, my throat has not been very good these days, or..."

"Hmm?" Mrs. Li raised her voice slightly.

Liang Su also felt uncomfortable, but since things had come to this point, he could only let Xu sing the song: "Since Madam Li has said so, then you can sing it."

"Master..." Xu called out in a delicate and flattering voice.

"Sing." Liang Su said again.

Since Liang Su had said so, Xu naturally had no reason to refuse. She could only respond, "Yes..."

"Then I'll go change into my costume."

Madam Li raised her hand and acted as if she didn't care: "No need, you are a singer, not a dancer, why change into costumes, just sing like this."

"Ah, yes..."

Xu stood in Wanjing Hall and sang a Jiangnan tune.

After the song was finished, Xu hurried out.

Madam Li exclaimed at Xu's back, "This singer has a really good voice."

Hearing Madam Li's praise, Liang Su was still tense. He said to Madam Li, "It's just a casual song. I'm not a famous actor."

"I don't like opera, and I don't understand it very well." Madam Li changed the subject again: "Lord Liang, can I ask for your favor?"

Liang Su still didn't show his emotion, but his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table gave away his true feelings. He said, "Madam Li, please speak."

"My master loves to listen to Jiangnan folk songs. Can you send this singer to my house and let her sing for my master?"

"It's fine for this unknown singer to sing in the Liang Mansion, but she is not presentable enough." Liang Su smiled politely and distantly.

Madam Li also laughed: "Master Liang, you are worrying too much. It's just a song. There's no need to worry about whether it's worthy of being on stage."

"Oh..." Liang Su sighed, "To be honest, this singer will be leaving the house this afternoon... Madam Li, let's just forget about this."

"When I have the chance to find a good singer, I will send her to Li's house in person." Liang Su's tone was obviously much better than before, and not so aggressive anymore.

Madam Li looked at Liang Su's face and smiled politely: "Master Liang is thoughtful."

Madam Li glanced at Liang Tan opposite her and saw that she had been sitting there quietly, not being bothered by these mundane matters. She liked her even more.

She has decided on this daughter-in-law.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Mrs. Li said with a smile.

Liang Su said, "I'll see the Madam off."

Just as a few people were about to get up and leave, another person suddenly walked in from outside.
