254 “Zhao’s Daughter [NP]” Chapter 253

Chapter 252 Having to go to the king-choosing banquet

Zhao Shuyu could be said to be flustered, extremely annoyed, and her heart was filled with coldness.

Gao Qinxue was also extremely anxious. If this matter spread out, not to mention that his reputation and that of the Zhao family’s sister would be ruined, would his cousin, the demon king, let her go?

Just when the two of them were so anxious that their hairs exploded, the child who had been invited out not long ago knocked on the door again and entered the house.

After the boy bowed respectfully, he said to Zhao Shuyu, “Young Master Yuqing just sent someone to tell you that if this noble man wants to attend the king-choosing banquet later, he must pay up to 30,000 taels of gold, not even a penny less. He must pay it immediately.”

Hearing this, Zhao Shuyu gasped and waved her hands quickly, “I don’t want to participate, I won’t participate -”

But then the boy said again: “But if the noble man allows the young master to accompany you to the banquet, you can discuss the money matter with him alone.”

Zhao Shuyu suddenly became speechless.

Gao Qinxue also understood, but was also confused.

But she quickly answered, “We are going to attend the king-choosing banquet, so we will bother Mr. Yuqing to accompany us.”

As soon as the child left, Gao Qinxue sat down exhausted.

“Sister Yu’er, it seems that things will be difficult tonight.”

The two of them rested uneasily in the room for a while. Not long after, someone came to invite them to a banquet.

Although Zhao Shuyu was full of doubts and uneasiness, she calmed down after discussing with Gao Qinxue for a while.

Not long after, the two left Liu Mian Yimeng and were led to another courtyard.

It’s nightfall, and the lanterns are hanging high.

This wide courtyard is built around the lakeside, and the sound of silk and bamboo pipe music can be heard from the elegant building facing the lake. There are two painted boats moored on the lakeside, and there are lights and figures on the boats, making it very lively.

From time to time, there are women wearing veils or cloaks who are ushered into the elegant building by the servants of Liu Mian Pavilion.

Gao Qinxue and Zhao Shuyu were no exception, and soon reached the second floor of Ya Building.

The courtyard outside the building is quiet and quiet, but the inside of the building is noisy.

But this excitement is completely different from the obscene banquet at Yaoyuelou.

It’s not like being in the dark, where you can act wildly without scruples. There are lights, gauze, people laughing, and ambiguous entanglements in this elegant building, but they are all extremely elegant.

The pink gauze in the building hangs down layer by layer, covering up and faintly, making the huge banquet hall charming and slightly drunk.

There was strong incense all around, singing and dancing were going on on the stage on the first floor, pink flowers were fragrant, and male actors and actresses were looking forward to their appearance. Whether they were accompanying the guests or the waiters serving the nobles, they were all gorgeously dressed and looked good.

Zhao Shuyu, who was sitting in the box on the second floor, swallowed her saliva. She had never seen such a banquet for women to have fun.

And Gao Qinxue, who was invited to another box, although worried about Zhao Shuyu, could not help but blush.

As soon as the two of them separated, Zhao Shuyu became even more restless and looked around.

The private room on the second floor is not big, just enough for a soft couch and a table.

The table was covered with banquets, and all the food and wine were available.

But Zhao Shuyu, who owed thirty thousand taels of gold in foreign debt at this time, could not afford to eat. She walked to the window sill, brushed aside the tulle, and looked at the excitement in the place, looking around.

However, after looking around for a while, she found nothing else except that the Liumian Pavilion was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. There were people guarding it in the dark.

She sat back on the soft couch with a frown on her face, unable to think of a way to escape and unable to get any money.

Looking at the food on the table, although her stomach was raging with hunger, she couldn’t eat anything.

“Shu’er, why don’t you eat something first?”

As the door opened softly, a laughing male voice came.

Zhao Shuyu was stunned and quickly turned around, only to see an elegant beauty standing at the door.
