The next day.

As usual, Liang Qiuli was helped up by Xiaohe, but just as she finished washing up, Mother Yang knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

"Qiuli is me, Aunt Yang."

Upon hearing this, Liang Qiuli raised an eyebrow and spoke to Xiao He behind her.

"Go and open the door."

As he spoke, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and wondered what Yang's mother had come for so early.

"Qiuli, I've turned down all the guests who came to see you. You should stay in your room and practice your pipa today."

When Yang's mother saw Liang Qiuli's stunning face, she couldn't stop smiling.

I never expected this!

Fortunately, she had considered that Qiu Li was still young, and considering the things she had on her when she bought her, she hadn't forced her to take customers. Otherwise, she would have missed out on this incredible fortune.

Liang Qiuli already had a guess in her mind; it was likely that Lu Jingyan or someone from the Yangzhou prefect's side had come looking for her.

However, he pretended not to know anything and asked with some doubt.

"Why is that, Mother Yang?"

"You'll see when you go to the prefect's banquet. If you seize this opportunity, redeeming yourself won't be difficult. As for that Young Master Fu, don't even think about it."

Mother Yang remembered that Liang Qiuli had gone to Baiyun Temple to pray for Fu Xinhan again yesterday, so she gave her a few words of advice out of concern.

If she doesn't serve that person well, not only will Liang Qiuli's future be in jeopardy, but her entire Xianle Pavilion will likely suffer as well.

"A chance to redeem oneself?"

Not to mention Liang Qiuli, everyone in the entire Xianle Pavilion wanted to redeem themselves and become law-abiding citizens, so the surprised expression on her face was exactly what Mother Yang expected.

"Yes, you'd better prepare well."

Yang's mother held Liang Qiuli's hand and spoke earnestly.

Liang Qiuli responded with a smile, knowing that Yang's mother was saying all this for her own good.

She will prepare well, but even if she is just a slender woman in the Fairy Music Pavilion, there are some things she can't be too eager for, otherwise she might not be appreciated.

This friendly conversation between the two was observed by someone not far away.

"Damn it! Why is Mother Yang so biased! She'll prove to Mother Yang that she deserves to be redeemed!"

Bai Xia clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her resentment towards Liang Qiuli reaching its peak, when suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.

……

The Prefectural Office of Yangzhou.

"Master, this is the situation."

Lu Jingyan's shoulder injury was quite serious, so he closed his eyes to rest, half-lying on the couch listening to Ling Fei's findings about Liang Qiuli.

To his surprise, the woman turned out to be a courtesan from the Xianle Pavilion.

Hearing that she had a lover made him reconsider his plan to bring her back to the capital.

But then Liang Qiuli's stunning beauty, graceful figure, and almond-shaped eyes reappeared in his mind, making him restless and eager.

Lu Jingyan opened his eyes and gently rubbed his temples, seemingly weighing something, when he heard Ling Fei ask again.

"Master, will the prefect invite that young lady to the banquet the day after tomorrow?"

Seeing Lu Jingyan frowning and deep in thought, Ling Fei figured that Lu Jingyan probably didn't want the girl to recognize him.

However, that girl had saved the general's life, and if she were to take advantage of this kindness, the general would be in a difficult position. Therefore, it would be best to eliminate this possibility at the source.

"How about I go to Xianle Pavilion and present her with a generous gift to express my gratitude for saving my life, so that she won't be allowed to attend this banquet?"
