Shengjing Noble

Fu Muyin resisted the urge to return to the palace, and quickly escaped with the excuse of having something to do, and returned to her room.

He also locked it, fearing that they would chase him in and continue to harass him.

The next day.

The other two uncles are very busy with their daily affairs, but the third uncle Su Shengming is the most difficult to deal with.

Besides, Fu Muyin lived in his house, so he would see her every day and there was no way to avoid her.

Su Shengming brought a portrait in front of her early in the morning and introduced it to her in a torrent of words.

"He is the only son of the richest man in Shengjing City. His family is even richer than your grandfather's. Even the emperor has to borrow money from them to fight the war..."

He said a lot of things, which was enough to show how wealthy this man's family was.

Fu Muyin felt a headache after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "I know, Third Uncle, but I still want to go to the theater today. Can you tell me later?"

"Watching a play? That's great. The big theater in Shengjing is owned by their family. I'll ask him to come over and accompany you."

"No, no! I suddenly don't want to watch the show anymore..."

"So what do you want to do? Cruise the lake? Ride a horse? View the flowers?"

"I...I suddenly felt that Third Uncle was working very hard, so I wanted to go to Zuixianlou to help you!"

Fu Muyin thought that it would be better to stay in Zuixianlou instead of being forced to stay with a strange man.

Su Shengming could see that she was reluctant, but he felt that the young man he introduced to her was indeed good.

After thinking it over, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then you go with your uncle, we're not going anywhere but Zuixianlou, I'll have someone make you something delicious."

"Okay, thank you uncle."

Fu Muyin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally gotten away with it.

……

Zuixianlou has good business every day. As soon as Su Shengming enters, he is very busy and has no energy to bother Fu Muyin.

She took the opportunity to sneak out and wander around.

As we walked, we actually arrived at the largest theater in Shengjing, Liyuanxiang.

It was Fu Muyin's first time here, and she walked in curiously. The boy at the door saw that although she didn't have a maid with her, she was dressed luxuriously and had an elegant demeanor, so he knew that she must be a rich girl from some family.

"Has this girl reserved a table?"

"No."

"Then I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a seat to become available. Our seats for the next scene are all full."

"What's the next scene?"

"It doesn't matter what the play is. What matters is that it's performed by Miss Yanhong, a famous actress in our garden. Naturally, the seats are full."

Fu Muyin was a little curious. Could it be that the girl Yanhong he mentioned really sang so well that she could fill a theater with guests?

"If I really want to listen, can you add a seat for me? Even a chair will do."

The waiter looked at her elegant appearance and whispered, "There is actually another room on the second floor, but if you want it, you have to pay more."

"How much silver?"

The boy stretched out his hand and looked at his five fingers. Fu Muyin was puzzled: "Fifty taels?"

The young man made a "tsk" sound and looked down on her.

"How is that possible? He's a famous actor, he'll cost at least five hundred taels!"

"five hundred?"

Fu Muyin was stunned, wondering why not just rob it?

The young man frowned, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "You can't afford it, right?"

"Of course I can afford it, but I suspect you're deliberately keeping the seats for the guests and then selling them privately at a high price!"

Fu Muyin's words directly exposed the young man's conspiracy, and he immediately became angry and embarrassed.

"What nonsense are you talking about, girl? If you want to show off, look at me. If you want to show off, get out of here quickly and don't delay me from receiving guests! Go, go, go!"

Having said that, he impatiently threw the rag in his hand, wanting to kick her out.

Fu Muyin dodged hurriedly, but was tripped by the door sill when he stepped back, and staggered backwards.

"what……"

I thought I would be hurt by the fall, but unexpectedly I fell into a warm embrace, and my arms were gently supported by a pair of big hands.

She looked back and saw a tall man with clear features. He was wearing a blue and white gradient robe with bamboo leaves embroidered on the cuffs. He looked gentle and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament.

Fu Muyin blushed and stood up quickly: "Thank you, sir."

The man who was supporting her was slightly startled when he saw her face, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he realized that physical contact between men and women was not allowed, so he quickly withdrew his hand and stood up.

"You're welcome. I'm sorry for being rude. I hope you won't blame me, young lady."

Fu Muyin smiled and said, "How could I blame you, sir? If it weren't for you, I would have fallen to the ground now."

"I'm Ji Qingluo. May I ask your name, young lady?" He looked at her with anticipation and some nervousness in his eyes.

"I……"

Fu Muyin hesitated for a moment. Her surname was Guo's, and if she said it out loud, she would be afraid that her identity would be exposed.

When you are out, you should keep a low profile to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

So she lowered her eyes and said, "Lu Lanyin."

It shouldn't be a problem to use my mother's name, right? Anyway, few young people in Shengjing know her.

"Miss Lu, do you want to watch a show?"

"Yes, but there are no seats left."

"It's okay. I'm a regular customer of this theater and have a fixed seat. I'll take you in."

"Really? Will it be inconvenient..." Fu Muyin was very happy, but still a little uncomfortable.

After all, the other party is a stranger. What if he has bad intentions?

Moreover, she was wearing women's clothes today. If she was seen by someone who knew her and spread the news to others, would it affect her reputation?

Seeing her worried look, Ji Qingluo hurriedly said, "There are many people coming and going in this theater, no one will notice you, and we can go directly to the second floor without passing through the lobby."

"Uh……"

Fu Muyin was still a little hesitant.

"Don't worry. It's broad daylight now and this is a theater. Are you still afraid that I might do something bad to you? I don't look like that kind of person, do I?"

She felt a little embarrassed when her thoughts were exposed.

However, one can only judge a person by his appearance and not his heart. So who knows if he is a beast in human clothing?

"How about forget it..."

Ji Qingluo felt a little disappointed when he heard this.

"Ms. Lu, this scene is really good, and it is also Miss Yanhong's last scene."

“Why the last one?”

"I heard that she's getting married."

"Oh, that's really sad."

"It's just marrying someone, why do you say that?"

"It stands to reason that such a great character gave up all his achievements just to get married. Isn't it sad?"

"What if I marry the one I love?"

"If you truly love her, would you let her give up everything?"

"How do you know she didn't give it up of her own accord? Maybe she was tired of living like this."

Fu Muyin thought about it, and then said, "How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"If she gives up voluntarily, you win. Otherwise, I win."

"Where's the bet?"

"Not ready yet."

"How about we watch and think about it?"

"Okay."

Fu Muyin thought, since he was here already, he didn’t look like a vicious person.

Moreover, with so many people around, no matter how bad he was, he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.
