In the pavilion, willow branches drooped low, flying catkins drifting everywhere, flowers and grass clustered around, with a fragrant scent and a faint grassy smell in the air. Walking into this place felt like being in a poetic scene, making one feel as if in a fairyland, breathtakingly beautiful!
”Miss, please go rest elsewhere. Someone is here already.” Li Weiying’s loud voice rang out as he approached, seemingly in the middle of an argument.
”Young master, you cannot speak recklessly. Is this your family’s estate? If not, why can’t I rest here? Don’t be too domineering!” the young woman said in a calm, measured tone with a hint of indignation.
”Don’t you dare cause trouble, or I won’t be polite!” Li Weiying said, somewhat angry. He hadn’t expected this seemingly delicate woman to speak so forcefully.
”It’s you, Sister Shi, how are you here?” Mei Siyu walked closer and realized the woman arguing with Li Weiying was Li Shi Shi, the top courtesan from the Drunken Immortal Courtyard!
”Greetings, Sister Shi.” The young woman bowed elegantly, her demeanor graceful and her smile warm, completely different from her previous argumentative stance.
She wouldn’t reveal that she was wandering through a brothel, would she? She should have known better than to greet her. Now she was belatedly worried. It was her own fault for being careless and not thinking before speaking. She hoped Shi Shi wouldn’t let anything slip, silently praying like a Buddha!
”Today we meet again, and you look even more beautiful than before. I’m almost jealous!” Shi Shi said with a smile. She deliberately spoke vaguely, wanting to tease Mei Siyu. For some reason, Shi Shi didn’t have much goodwill towards Mei Siyu and wanted to provoke her, venting her inner resentment!
”No, Elder Sister is the beautiful one. How could I compare!” Mei Siyu lowered her head, speaking sincerely. She was fortunate not to have revealed anything, or else Heng Lengchen would have been angry. A woman wandering through a brothel was hardly a respectable act, and she now felt somewhat ashamed.
”Yu’er, do you know each other?” Heng Lengchen, confused by the exchange, asked.
”Chen, we’ve met once before. Let me introduce you to Sister Shi,” Mei Siyu said.
”Greetings, Young Master,” Shi Shi said softly.
