Yu Lanxi became more and more angry when she saw her like this. Just as she was about to scold her, she heard the woman's voice saying, "Who of you two young ladies will ask questions first?"

Shang Tingli nodded to Yu Lanxi and said with a smile, "Cousin, please go first."

Yu Lanxi snorted coldly, turned her head, and asked the woman, "Can I take this finished sachet away?"

This was not the first person to ask this question. The woman smiled and replied, "Of course you can take it away."

Yu Lanxi said "Oh".

She actually didn't care whether she could take the sachet away, but she hadn't thought of what question to ask, so she just asked one casually.

She looked at Shang Tingli and said, "It's your turn, cousin."

Shang Tingli ignored her and just said to the woman, "Where are you from?"

Compared with the previous question, her question was not only irrelevant to the topic, but also somewhat private, so it was not appropriate.

The woman was just stunned for a moment, but she didn't show any displeasure, and still answered her question: "I'm from the South."

Shang Tingli was not surprised by her answer.

"Okay, now that everyone has finished asking questions, it's time for the competition. Please be ready."

As the woman finished her words, the sound of drums began to sound: "Dong——"

Shang Tingli already had an idea in mind. She took the light blue cotton and linen. There was no pattern on it. If she wanted a pattern, she had to embroider it herself. She embroidered a pattern on it first, and she decided to embroider some bougainvillea.

She didn't ask where the woman was from out of boredom or indifference. She had seen sachets from many places, and the styles of sachets made there were different depending on the geographical location. The difference was not only in the pattern and color, but more in the shape.

A southerner... Nanwu is the south, and it is also the place she is most familiar with. She inevitably thought of the sachets her mother had made for her.

Therefore, Shang Tingli planned to make a "Southern" sachet. Good looks may not win, but ingenuity may.

……

"I wonder what Miss Lingling likes?"

The man beside her seemed gentle and polite, like a gentleman, but Yu Lingling had no intention of appreciating him, and even felt extremely disgusted.

She didn't want to go out today.

But Pan not only insisted that she go out, but also specially arranged for Liang Yu to go with her. The two of them had already decided to get married, so even if they told others that they were cultivating their relationship, no one would say anything.

She was forced to go out on the street with Liang Yu.

"I don't have anything I particularly like." Yu Lingling's voice was soft, with a decent smile on her face, but the smile never reached her eyes.

She walked forward somewhat numbly.

Liang Yu didn't notice her strangeness, pointed to the place where the crowd was gathered in front, and said with a smile: "Why don't we go to the front and take a look?"

Yu Lingling couldn't refuse, so she could only say, "Okay."

She didn't want to stay any longer, but she squeezed into the front row. When she saw someone on the stage, she couldn't take her eyes off him.

Why is Shang Tingli here?

Yu Lingling frowned and looked around, but didn't see anyone she knew. She only saw Shang Tingli who was making sachets on the stage, and Yu Lanxi beside him.

An uncontrollable thought came to her mind -

Liang Yu, besides loving to drink and beat others after drinking, also liked beautiful women. He would not let go of anyone he liked or could afford to offend.

If she hadn't been the daughter of the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion, Liang Yu would have already made a move on her. She knew that this was a matter of time. Since Pan betrothed her to Liang Yu, Liang Yu could not really regard her as the daughter of the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion. He would only regard her as prey. Besides, the marriage contract was in hand, which was natural. When the marriage was completed, no one would stand up for her.

Yu Lingling's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her hands hidden under her sleeves clenched nervously. Without hesitation, she took a step closer to Liang Yu and motioned him to bend down.

Liang Xi narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't understand, he still bent down as she asked. "I wonder what Miss Lingling is doing?"

His eyes lingered on her, and the vulgar aura was released without reservation, instantly overshadowing the little gentlemanly demeanor he already had.

In the corner where no one could see, he was like a dirty little mouse in a stinky ditch, furtively calculating how to steal food.

His gaze was too strong for Yu Lingling to ignore. She could only suppress her nausea and whisper in his ear, "Did you see the girl on the far right of the stage?"

Liang Xi's mind moved, and he looked towards the stage as she suggested.

The girl on the far right is wearing a red dress. The bright color doesn't look tacky on her, nor does it overshadow her beauty. Her face has smooth lines, delicate features, and a gorgeous and beautiful appearance. Her temperament is also outstanding.

"Is this a fairy descending to earth?"

Liang Yu was fascinated by it.

But he did not forget to answer Yu Lingling: "I saw it."

He had never seen the cousin of the Marquis of Yi Zhong's mansion before, so naturally he didn't recognize Shang Tingli. At this moment, he only knew one thing, that is, the girl on the far right of the stage was as beautiful as a fairy, with a beautiful face that made people salivate.

Liang Yu felt an impulse.

Yu Lingling was only focused on the gorgeous figure on the stage. A strange light flashed across her eyes, but her expression was extremely firm. "Second Young Master Liang, what do you think of this beauty?"

Liang Yu pretended not to understand: "Miss Lingling, what do you mean?"

His eyes were always fixed on Shang Tingli and never moved away.

Yu Lingling sneered in her heart, but she put on a rare, sincere smile on her face: "If Second Young Master Liang likes her, I have a way to get her for you."

Oh, you’re just watching someone die without helping?

It doesn’t matter, Yu Lanxi is not the only one who can kill people without batting an eyelid.

"Oh?" Liang Yu was quite interested. "I'd like to hear more about it."

I don’t know if it was because he was already engaged and Pan gave him the confidence, or if it was because there was a better prey in front of him, but he no longer hid.

Yu Lingling raised her lips and smiled: "Second Young Master Liang can't let me work for nothing, right?"

If this can be used as a bargaining chip to call off the marriage, then perhaps it is not a bad idea.

She knew that Liang Yu had developed evil intentions.

Liang Yu understood what she meant and raised his eyebrows: "What does Miss Lingling want?"

Yu Lingling looked at him and said, "I want to break off the engagement with you."

Liang Yu frowned: "You want to break off the engagement with me? Why? Wouldn't that mean I'm losing a beautiful wife?"

To be honest, before I saw the beauty on the stage, Yu Lingling in front of me was indeed a rare beauty, but when I saw the beauty on the stage, Yu Lingling pales in comparison.

Yu Lingling can't even compare to the beauties on the stage.

Liang Yu felt that no matter how small a piece of mosquito meat was, it was still meat, and there was no reason why he would not bite the meat that was right next to his mouth.

Yu Lingling suppressed the nausea and said with a smile, "I have always known myself well and know that I cannot compare with that beauty. I am willing to make room for her."

"Even if Second Young Master Liang wants to enjoy the happiness of having two wives, I'm afraid my father won't agree."

Liang Yu did not reply immediately.

"What are you hesitating about, Second Young Master Liang? That beauty is so beautiful that even my sister is not even three times as beautiful as her."

Yu Lingling consoled him: "Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?"

Liang Yu looked at her intently and said, "You said you could bring her to me? What is the relationship between you two?"

Yu Lingling paused and her expression changed slightly.

Liang Yu didn't look at her again, but looked back at the stage. As he looked, he found something wrong, turned around and said coldly: "Is it hard to say?"

Yu Lingling denied: "It's not hard to say."

"Then why don't you answer?"

“…She’s just an orphan girl.”

Liang Yu smiled and said, "Miss Lingling, you won't lie to me, right?"

Yu Lingling said: "Of course not...ah——" Her tone changed and she screamed in pain.

The crowd who were originally watching the making of sachets on the stage all looked over when they heard the noise.

Some even pointed and said: "Hey, he looks like a white-faced scholar, how can he hit someone?"

"And the person he beat was a girl." Someone whispered in a low voice.

Liang Yu was unmoved.

Yu Lingling covered half of her face, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. She looked at Liang Yu in disbelief and said angrily, "What do you mean?"

"Didn't I tell you? Don't lie to me." Liang Yu smiled maliciously.

Yu Lingling was very angry: "When did I lie to you?"

That bitch was just an orphan, what did she say wrong?

Liang Yu pinched her chin and smiled contemptuously: "You said she was an orphan, but you didn't explain your relationship. Then let me guess who she is--"

Yu Lingling was forced to look up at him. She didn't have time to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and her face looked embarrassed. When she heard his words, she couldn't help feeling flustered.

"The orphan girl with a woman's hair in a bun, who is closely related to you, could she be your cousin who married into the Prince Ren's mansion and is now the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Liang Yu gritted his teeth and applied a little force to the hand that was pinching her chin.

There was no sign of anger on his face, but he was furious.

If he hadn't read it a few more times, he wouldn't have discovered something was wrong so quickly. If he really dared to attack a prince's wife, not only him, but also his entire Liang family would be buried with him.

From this, it can be seen that Yu Lingling is not only unwilling to marry him, but she also probably knows many of his secrets - the fact that he likes beautiful women is also a secret that he never reveals.

He finally saw the expression on his fiancée's face. She didn't just want to break off the engagement with him, she clearly wanted him to die.

Seeing that she was exposed, Yu Lingling had nothing to say, but she was unwilling to be slapped in the face by him, and said angrily: "Let me go!"

Liang Yu didn't say anything. He changed the hand that was pinching her chin to grab her wrist. When he was about to pull her away, he found that everyone's eyes were on the two of them.

He smiled faintly, like a handsome man, and said in a gentle voice: "It's all a misunderstanding. I was just joking with my fiancée."

Liang Yu nodded to the people around him, then dragged Yu Lingling away from the crowd and found a remote alley.

Leaving behind the ignorant masses.

Is there any fiancé who slaps his fiancée so hard?

Since they were an engaged couple, they had no right to interfere.

The crowd shook their heads.

"Follow me."

Ke Xin instructed Du Heng in a calm voice.

Du Heng clasped his fists and bowed, then walked swiftly in the direction where Liang Yu was dragging Yu Lingling away.

The two maids didn't notice what was happening here, they were discussing the scene they just saw. Although I didn't hear what they said, it didn't stop them from watching a good show.

"It seems that Miss Lingling did not lie to the Crown Prince's wife before. The Second Young Master Liang is indeed a man who knows how to beat people. In public, he actually slapped Miss Lingling in the face, and he is not afraid that the Marquis will come to seek justice." Gan Tang sighed softly.

Fang Zhi also whispered, "If the Marquis's wife hadn't promised something to the Second Young Master Liang, how could he dare to do that?"

She saw it more clearly than Gan Tang. Even if Miss Lingling returned with injuries today, I'm afraid the Yi Zhong Marquis's Mansion would not do anything. The Marquis would not stand up for Miss Lingling, because the Marquis's wife would not give Miss Lingling this opportunity. Otherwise, Miss Lingling would not be engaged to the second young master Liang.

"Deserved it."

Gan Tang said with a spit, "If she hadn't taken advantage of her in the past, how could she have gotten this result today? It's just her own fault."

"Adding insult to injury?" Chang Di came over at some point and suddenly spoke.

"what--"

Fang Zhi was frightened by him and stopped talking about something.

Gan Tang stared at him and slapped him on the shoulder without saying anything. "Hiss—" The pain was on her hand. She stared with displeasure and said, "Are you made of iron? You're so hard."

Chang Di scratched his head innocently.

Didn't he get beaten and scolded for no reason?

Chang Di suddenly felt wronged: "I..."

"Cough cough." Ke Xin pretended to cough twice.

Chang Di shut his mouth instantly.

The two maids also quieted down.

In fact, the people on the stage also heard the excitement just now. The "pop" sound and "ah" scream were too loud, and it was difficult for them to ignore them.

Yu Lanxi took a quick look and found that it was Yu Lingling who was beaten. She felt gloating for a moment, but she did not forget what she was doing. There was Shang Tingli next to her who was alerting her, so she did not continue to watch Yu Lingling's excitement.

Her goal now is to surpass Shang Tingli and win the prize.

She remembered what happened on South Street very well, and this time, no matter what she did, she couldn't let Shang Tingli win.

When Shang Tingli heard the noise, he just glanced at Yu Lingling, then withdrew his gaze indifferently and continued to concentrate on making the sachet in his hand.

She copied her mother's techniques one by one according to her memory of what her mother taught her.

The sachet in her hand was half finished, and half the time had passed. She was not in a hurry, but her movements were becoming more and more skillful.

Time passed by little by little, and an hour had slipped away.

"Boom-"

The woman beats the drum.

"Time is up, please stop what you are doing."

The nine people on the stage put out the sachets they had made. The woman walked over and started looking at the sachets from the first person, shaking her head all the way until she stopped in front of Yu Lanxi.

Yu Lanxi's eyes lit up, and she was about to speak, but she saw the woman shaking her head again and said, "This young lady's craftsmanship is good, but I still want to take another look."

Yu Lanxi: “…”

She suppressed her anger and followed the woman's gaze, looking at the sachet in Shang Tingli's hand.

Yu Lanxi sneered: "Cousin, you don't think you can win by making a sachet of a different style, do you? Your craftsmanship is not as good as mine."
