She didn't remember the two people's names, but she knew they came from the Hundred Plays Pavilion, so she thought she'd try her luck and unexpectedly found them.
After Yu Shu finished dressing up, she looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction. Her eyes flickered, and she smiled at Shen Tangning: "What do you think, Madam? Putting everything else aside, I have such skillful hands. Even the most ordinary-looking person can be transformed into a peerless beauty in my hands!"
She spoke calmly and slowly: "With such talent, it would be a waste to only be an actor."
Upon hearing this, Mingyu and Yushu had different expressions.
Actors, to put it bluntly, were essentially slaves, no different from courtesans; both were considered the lowest of the low.
Mingyu remained calm, but Yushu's eyes suddenly lit up. He pursed his lips and pretended not to understand: "Madam is joking. A person's social status is predetermined at birth. What can we do about it?"
He was not as calm as he appeared. If he could escape slavery, who would want to do such a lowly job?
Judging from the lady's words, Yu Shu felt that his opportunity had come. The other party must have something to ask of them since she had suddenly approached them!
Perhaps we can negotiate some terms, extort some money from them, and who knows, a chance to rise to prominence might be right in front of us...
Shen Tangning, however, did not play by the rules. She suddenly stood up and gave Yuan Zhao a look.
The latter took out a money pouch and threw it on the table: "This is a gift from my wife."
After saying that, Shen Tangning walked towards the door.
Yu Shu and Ming Yu looked at each other in surprise. They were astonished that he had just left like that.
He couldn't help but feel anxious, and bit his lip before suddenly speaking: "Madam, you've come to see us, but your purpose is probably not so simple, is it?"
Shen Tangning paused and turned around. The white veil on the fence swayed gently, almost covering her entire body, revealing a mysterious air and making her emotions difficult to fathom.
Yu Shu felt a gaze fall upon him, not heavy, but inexplicably giving him a sense of oppression, making him unable to lift his head.
Shen Tangning's cold voice rang out: "I can help you get rid of your slave status."
Upon hearing this, both of them trembled, and a hint of excitement flickered in their eyes.
But then she casually retorted, "But what can you possibly offer me?"
After saying this, she left without lingering and Yuan Zhao followed her.
Staring at the doorway, the two remained lost in thought for a long time.
...
"Wasn't Madam looking for them? Why did she leave so soon?" Yuan Zhao asked, puzzled.
Shen Tangning smiled slightly: "I did appreciate their abilities, but it's not a good deal to rush them. I can't let them think I can't live without them."
That guy named Yu Shu was young but quite shrewd and worldly-wise. He was intelligent, but he used the wrong approach and tried to act high and mighty in front of her.
Using such people has both advantages and disadvantages; if done poorly, it can backfire.
It's good to let them cool off for a while.
As soon as Shen Tangning arrived at the mansion, Xue Qing trotted up to her and winked at her, "Miss, the young master is back and is waiting for you. He doesn't look too well."
She paused, turned around to look behind her, but Yuan Zhao had already disappeared.
"..."
She gave a slight, cold laugh; she did run pretty fast.
