Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them

Banquet room.

"General, this cup is a toast to you. Without you, the bandits could not have been quelled so quickly."

The prefect of Yangzhou raised his wine cup and bowed slightly to Lu Jingyan, who was sitting at the head of the table.

"Everything is for the people."

Lu Jingyan's shoulder injury had not fully healed, so he casually raised his cup to the prefect of Yangzhou, took a small sip, and then put it down.

The prefect of Yangzhou continued speaking, taking over from Lu Jingyan.

"Yes, yes, the general cares deeply for the common people and is truly a role model for us all."

Finally, all the officials present, except for Lu Jingyan, had drunk several rounds of wine.

The prefect of Yangzhou glanced at Lu Jingyan's expression and tentatively asked, "By the way, General, I have prepared a performance for today's banquet. Would you like to see it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyan's eyes flashed with interest. It was finally coming. However, he maintained a calm and composed demeanor and nodded slightly.

"Oh? Since it is the Prefect's good intention, then this general will wait and see."

Immediately, the prefect of Yangzhou gave a signal to the people behind him, and soon the musicians gradually lowered their voices.

Lu Jingyan gripped the cup in his hand and looked towards the doorway. A piece of gauze fell from the sky, blocking his view.

Then a pipa melody came from afar, initially clear and melodious, like a mountain spring flowing into the hearts of everyone present.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the pipa gradually became more urgent, like a violent storm, carrying an unstoppable killing momentum.

This made Lu Jingyan raise an eyebrow slightly. Looking at Liang Qiuli, whose face was covered by a gauze curtain but whose beauty was still evident through her pipa playing, his heart began to beat faster.

No wonder she's the one he's set his sights on.

As the melody rose and fell, Lu Jingyan became completely immersed in it.

When the song ended, Lu Jingyan was the first to clap, and the others also came to their senses, and the applause was thunderous.

"This humble woman greets all esteemed sirs."

At this moment, the gauze curtain in front of Liang Qiuli slowly rose. She held the pipa and bowed slightly, revealing a beautiful yet noble face with a faint smile in her eyes.

That day, due to dizziness from his injury, he couldn't see clearly. But seeing her again today, looking at Liang Qiuli's face and the feelings she evoked in him, Lu Jingyan was certain that his heart, dormant for over twenty years, had stirred again.

He was the one for her.

He didn't care who her previous lover was; from now on, she could only belong to him.

However, Lu Jingyan didn't want anyone to see what he was thinking so quickly, so in order to cover it up, he didn't care whether his injury had healed or not, and casually picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, using the spicy wine to temporarily suppress the turmoil in his heart.

Seeing Lu Jingyan drink that glass of wine, Bai Xia, who had been dancing on the sidelines and had been ignored by everyone, had a hint of smugness in her eyes.

Yes, Bai Xia was there the whole time when Liang Qiuli was playing the pipa, but no one paid any attention to her.

This caused Bai Xia's resentment towards Liang Qiuli to reach its peak.

But wait a little longer, she's finally about to turn her life around!

"Get up."

As Lu Jingyan, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke, Liang Qiuli slowly stood up. She glanced around casually, her eyes finally landing on Lu Jingyan.

Liang Qiuli's eyes suddenly froze, and her expression suddenly became somewhat complicated, showing both surprise and confusion.

Looking at Liang Qiuli's reaction, Lu Jingyan found it both cute and funny. He never expected that Liang Qiuli, who was so efficient at Baiyun Temple, would be so flustered.

A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which was noticed by the Yangzhou prefect who had been observing his expression.

"General, what do you think of this performance?"
