A creature called "Legal Wife"
"Not interested!" Liu Buqi's blunt refusal without giving any face made the woman on the stage a little angry!
Mr. Han quickly ran over to smooth things over, but it was obviously unable to calm the woman's unfounded anger!
"How many books can a concubine have read, how many words can she recognize? I have always kept my distance from rumors, but seeing her today is indeed not as good as hearing about her!"
The spectators on the side immediately started to cheer, and the chorus of agreement made Liu Buqi, who was already upset because of Wang Changling's serious injury, very unhappy. Extremely unhappy!
She immediately chuckled, "I've polluted the young lady's eyes. What a sin! Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. It's hard for a mere concubine to be a master. It's ridiculous to make things difficult for a humble concubine like me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. Han knew that today would not end peacefully!
As expected, a man who couldn't hold back and wanted to show off stepped out from the crowd, "You little bitch, you dare to speak so arrogantly and insult Miss Shangguan? Even the Lu family can't protect you! Oh..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Xiruo quickly stepped forward and kicked him to the ground. His ferocious scarred face looked around, instantly intimidating many spectators who were eager to try.
Miss Shangguan on the stage was originally preparing to watch a good show, but was slapped in the face by Zhang Xiruo who bumped into her. She was about to call the strong man at the door to come forward and arrest her.
Liu Buqi spoke first, "I'm in a bad mood today and have offended the famous Miss Shangguan. I owe you an apology! Well, Mr. Han, I'll ask you to give me a topic and I'll write a poem as an apology!"
Seeing Liu Buqi's obviously submissive tone, Miss Shangguan smiled, seeming very satisfied with her performance, and casually signaled Mr. Han that he could ask the questions.
Mr. Han, standing by, was grumbling inwardly, but he quickly agreed. After much deliberation, he finally came up with a topic. "Two talented ladies, please compose poems based on the four scenes of the boudoir, dusk, autumn wind, and melancholy."
This topic is obviously biased. Just now on the poetry competition stage, Shangguan has already written two poems on the themes of dusk and melancholy. He only needs to write the other two to complete the poem!
Liu Buqi, however, had to start from the beginning. Even though he was extremely talented, he was basically behind in terms of time.
Unexpectedly, this topic happened to coincide with a poem she had just thought of!
"In the hundred-foot tower west of the beacon-fired city, I stand alone at dusk, the autumn wind blows against the sea. I play the Qiang flute over the mountain moon, without the sorrow of the boudoir thousands of miles away."
Mr. Han had just read out the title when Liu Buqi blurted out the poem "Song of the Army"!
It is rare to complete four scenes in one poem, and there is obvious sarcasm between the lines. This sarcasm is not only directed at the Shangguan on the stage, but also at everyone present!
Of course! This ability to improvise poetry, with its neat parallelism and perfect response to the topic, truly shocked everyone, including Shangguan!
Liu Buqi stared at Shangguan, who wanted to speak several times but never said anything. He bowed slightly and turned to leave. When he was near the door, Mr. Han was the first to react.
"Master Liu, could you please tell me the title of the poem?"
Liu Buqi turned around and said with great seriousness, "This 'Joining the Army' is dedicated to General Wang!"
…
Before returning to Lu's mansion, Liu Buqi ordered Zhang Xiruo to live directly in the Desheng Tavern for a long time, and to report to her immediately if there was any news about Wang Changling's injury.
Just three days later, "Song of the Army" spread throughout Jinan Prefecture again, and countless people were guessing who General Wang was that Master Liu was going to dedicate the poem to!
And Liu Buqi finally received news about General Wang's injury!
Thanks to the modern sterilization and infection prevention methods she taught Bai Tuo when treating Yue Lingxi, Wang Changling survived the initial danger and is now able to eat.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, a servant came in to report that Lu Ren and Jiang were calling her in the front hall.
After a quick wash, Liu Buqi rushed to the front hall with Bai Jinjing. At this time, Lu Ren and Jiang were respectfully chatting with two guests, one old and one young.
The old man was obviously a bureaucrat, and his every move revealed his deep scheming!
The younger one looked familiar to Liu Buqi. When he got closer, he recognized that the person staring at him with cold eyes was none other than Miss Shangguan from the bookstore a few days ago!
"Are they here to collect debts?" While guessing the identities of the two guests, he greeted Lu Ren and Qin.
Qin's slightly excited introduction came to his ears: "Liu Buqi, come and meet your future mistress first!"
"Mistress? What the hell is this?" After thinking suspiciously for a long time, he finally realized that the mistress was Yue Lingxi's legal wife!
This "plot" is indeed a bit melodramatic. Could it be some kind of childhood marriage? Yue Lingxi seems to have never mentioned it before?
Although countless questions popped up in his mind, and he felt an inexplicable sense of sadness, Liu Buqi finally understood!
"I finally understand why this Shangguan targeted me in the bookshop! Is this the legendary love rival? This is really not a pleasant feeling!"
No matter what he thought in his heart, the huge difference in status forced Liu Buqi to bow and salute Miss Shangguan.
"Sir Shangguan, this is my nephew's only concubine. Although she has some talent and fame, she comes from a humble background! When Luo Yang comes into the family, with her talent, beauty, family background, and the title of wife, are you still afraid that my nephew will not treat her differently?"
"Do you think this marriage can be settled now? In a month, my family will hold a ceremony to worship our ancestors. I will call Lingxi back and we can immediately arrange a happy marriage. When the time comes, please go over there..."
“Cough cough cough!”
Liu Buqi, who was cursing Yue Lingxi a thousand times in his heart and feeling sorry for himself for being a time traveler who ended up being a mistress, finally understood that they had just started discussing the marriage!
"Hehe, Yue Lingxi has been wronged!"
I felt inexplicably sad, uneasy and irritable, but somehow my heart suddenly calmed down.
Just when he was about to say something to stop this inexplicable engagement, he suddenly found that Shangguan Luoyang's father, Lord Shangguan, interrupted Lu Ren with a cough that couldn't be more fake!
Liu Buqi thought briefly about what "that side" Lü Ren was referring to. This incoherent sentence contained a ton of information!
Lu Ren, whose questioning was interrupted, also realized that there was an "outsider" here. He waved his hand impatiently to signal Liu Buqi to leave before continuing.
Unfortunately! Liu Buqi, who had already reached the door, could only vaguely hear "Master Guannei Hou said..." and then left the hall!
Guannei Hou? Over there? Could it be...
After returning to the room and thinking hard all night, Liu Buqi quickly wrote down two secret letters, solemnly asking Bai Jinjing to find a way to leave the house and hand them over to Lu Xin and Zhu Caicai personally!
The opportunity that I have been waiting for for many days with great patience and endurance has finally arrived!
