Chapter 227: No Eyes
When Cha Mi saw Shen Yuling again, he was slightly stunned and his eyes were instantly fixed on her face.
The lady's face was slightly flushed, and her usually fair skin was now stained with a faint crimson color, making her look even more delicate and charming. Even if it was just a hint of color, it was particularly obvious on her face.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Cha Mi couldn't help but ask with concern, his eyes full of confusion.
Shen Yuling panicked and quickly changed the subject: "Huh? What's wrong? The Oiran's performance is about to begin, let's go over there quickly."
After saying that, he walked forward quickly.
Soon, Shen Yuling and Cha Mi, led by Hua Pu, came to an open-air stage.
At this time, it was dusk, the glow in the sky spread out like brocade, and the brilliant colors all over the sky seemed to have covered the stage with a layer of natural light and shadow.
The stage is surrounded by a three-story building with an elegant and unique architectural style.
The stage is surrounded by colorful flowers in full bloom. The rich fragrance of flowers fills the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Each of the three floors of this building represents a different social class, and the highest third floor is the exclusive place for dignitaries.
Shen Yuling and Cha Mi followed Hua Pu all the way upstairs. When they reached the second floor, Cha Mi felt that it was enough. The third floor was not something they could go to.
However, Hua Pu still planned to take her to the third floor.
Shen Yuling frowned, and after a moment of thought, she guessed that it was Quan Minghe's arrangement.
So she raised her hand to stop the flower servant.
"I wonder if there are any remaining private rooms on the second floor. Please find me a private room on the second floor."
Hua Pu looked embarrassed, as her master had repeatedly warned her not to neglect Madam Shen, and had also specifically ordered her to be taken to the best location in the center of the third floor, facing the stage.
"Madam, there are too many people coming to Fangfei Valley today. It's hard for me to make any last-minute arrangements. How about you just go and..."
Shen Yuling was firm and refused without hesitation: "No, you go and make the arrangements, I'll just wait."
Seeing this, Cha Mi, who was standing by, became more and more confused.
Madam was arranged to go to the third floor, which is a treatment that many people would dream of, but Madam seemed unwilling to do so?
Hua Pu was in a dilemma, so he stepped back and prepared to ask his master for his opinion.
At this time, several young men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes walked over.
Walking in front was the arrogant Qi Huayin.
She glanced at Shen Yuling and Cha Mi with contempt and said in a sharp voice: "Where did this ignorant person come from? Don't you know that only people from official families can go up to the third floor of Fangfei Valley?"
"You're standing at the stairs, blocking the way. Don't you know that?"
Shen Yuling has been working hard in Ruijin County in the past few years and has dealt with many officials. She is quite prestigious in the local area, and even the county magistrate will give her some face when he meets her.
What's more, with her secret help, many of her people got official positions in Ruijin County.
She raised her eyes and looked at Miss Qi in front of her, and she understood clearly.
This young lady holds an important position in Qi Ze County, but she has a very bad temper.
"My lady, I am not blocking your way. I wonder how big you are that you feel I am blocking your way?"
Shen Yuling responded calmly.
Qi Huayin's figure is not as slender as a willow in the wind which is popular nowadays. Her figure is relatively large among women.
What she hated most was people mentioning her figure.
Hearing Shen Yuling's words, she immediately stopped, her face suddenly changed, her eyes widened with anger, and she pointed at Shen Yuling.
He shouted, "Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that? Don't you want to live peacefully in Qi Ze County?"
Shen Yuling looked calm, neither humble nor arrogant: "I am just stating the facts. Besides, the world is peaceful now. Could it be that this lady wants to rely on her power to bully a weak woman like me?"
As the daughter of the governor of Qi Ze County, Qi Huayin can get whatever she wants in the county.
Normally, everyone flatters her and tries to please her in every way.
Today, she finally got her father's permission to come with her best friend. More importantly...
Qi Huayin's eyes inadvertently glanced at the elegant and handsome Mr. Wu, Wu Qingfeng, who was standing beside her. He was her sweetheart.
But this ungrateful woman in front of her actually dared to openly oppose her, making her lose face in front of everyone.
Qi Huayin's face was full of anger. He walked a few steps towards Shen Yuling and laughed in anger.
"In Qi Ze County, if anyone offends me, I will make sure she pays for it!"
Wu Qingfeng, who was standing aside, had a slender figure and a gentle temperament. He witnessed this scene and it was obviously not the first time he had seen Qi Huayin act so domineeringly.
He lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing, but the disgust that flashed across his eyes could not be hidden.
At this time, Qi Huayin's close friend Yan Xuxu walked forward with her slender waist twisted and acted pretentiously.
"Miss Qi is of an extremely noble status. How can someone like you who doesn't know your place easily offend her? If you know what's best for you, apologize immediately!"
Another young man, Xu Changjin, who was dressed in a blue robe and had elegant manners, also came over.
He had a malicious smile on his face, looking Shen Yuling up and down, and said sarcastically: "Miss Qi, in my opinion, she is quite good-looking. She has been standing at the entrance of the corridor just now, and I am afraid she is thinking of going up to the third floor to get close to the rich and powerful!"
After hearing what Xu Changjin said, Qi Huayin raised a disdainful arc at the corner of her mouth and sneered with contempt.
Seeing Qi Huayin's reaction, Xu Changjin became even more proud, with a frivolous look in his eyes and eyebrows.
He approached Shen Yuling and said with a playful smile, "I am in a good mood today. How about I grant you your wish and allow you to go up to the third floor to serve tea and water to Miss Qi and wait on her?"
When Qi Huayin heard this, her eyes lit up instantly and her chin was raised high.
Obviously, Xu Changjin's suggestion was very useful.
Shen Yuling and Cha Mi in front of her, even though they were outstanding in appearance and beautiful as fairies, were nothing more than playthings that could be manipulated at will in front of her noble status.
She has always hated women who are prettier than her, and always feels that their existence is a provocation to her.
Shen Yuling frowned and didn't want to pay any attention to this group of self-righteous young masters and young ladies from official families.
So childish.
He turned around and prepared to leave.
When Qi Huayin saw Shen Yuling ignoring her, the anger in her heart seemed to be fueled.
She stepped forward.
He grabbed Shen Yuling's sleeve, raised his right hand high, and prepared to slap Shen Yuling in the face viciously.
Shen Yuling's eyes turned cold, and a cold light flashed in them.
She reacted quickly, grabbed Qi Huayin's wrist and twisted it hard.
He said coldly: "My lady, even if you are of noble status, there are still principles and laws in this world. Do you think you can get away with offending me?"
"Besides, I'm not from Qi Ze County. I'm from Rui Jin County. When the time comes, I'll file a lawsuit in the court of Rui Jin County. I want to see if you have anyone in Rui Jin County who can protect you."
Qi Huayin was shocked by Shen Yuling's eyes and words. She widened her eyes and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Although her father was the governor of Qi Ze County, Qi Ze County and Rui Jin County had always been in competition. She had heard her father complain more than once that the governor of Rui Jin County always boasted about how good Rui Jin County was in front of the emperor, and often stepped on Qi Ze County to highlight his own achievements.
Qi Huayin gritted her teeth, looked at her wrist which was tightly held by Shen Yuling, and shouted angrily: "Let go!"
Shen Yuling glanced at her, shook off her hand, turned and left.
A young lady who was badly brought up.
Qi Huayin looked at Shen Yuling's departing back, her face flushed with anger.
She was actually threatened by a woman who looked like she had no background?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He turned around and told Xu Changjin, "Bring her to the third floor! I want to see how long she can be so arrogant!"
After saying that, she shook her sleeves and went upstairs angrily.
When Yan Xuxu saw Qi Huayin going upstairs, she hurriedly followed.
Wu Qingfeng stood there, his brows furrowed, his eyes lingering briefly on Shen Yuling and Cha Mi, his thin lips tightly pursed.
In the end, he said nothing and followed him upstairs.
After receiving Qi Huayin's order, Xu Changjin immediately revealed a smug and presumptuous smile on his face, his eyes were greedy and seemed to have some evil thoughts.
This was Miss Qi's order. Even if something happened, it had nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Yuling and Cha Mi more unscrupulously, and his lustful eyes wandered over them at will.
Then, he waved his hand, and the two burly and fierce-looking guards beside him stepped forward together, approaching Shen Yuling and Cha Mi like hungry wolves, preparing to forcibly take them to the third floor.
Cha Mi, who has always been mild-tempered, sociable and good at getting along with everyone, was now completely enraged by Xu Changjin's shameless behavior.
Her eyes became cold and dangerous. She leaned slightly to the side, approached Shen Yuling, and whispered, "Madam, do you want me to deal with him?"
When Shen Yuling went out on weekdays, she either did not bring a large number of well-trained guards with her, or she brought Cha Mi with her.
Cha Mi appears to be just a brothel madam, but in fact she is a well-known iron-faced lady in the underworld.
Not only does she possess martial arts skills that can take people's lives in an instant, she is also proficient in poison techniques, making her hard to guard against.
A cold light flashed in Shen Yuling's eyes, with a hint of annoyance, and she was about to nod.
Just then, a sharp scream was heard behind me.
"ah--"
The sound broke the tense atmosphere and made people feel nervous.
