Geng Rong looked at Geng Zhi unhappily and scolded him angrily, "Do you want to make a big deal out of this? These two people have family backgrounds. If they are really hurt, Father will also be in trouble."
"They know about our business. Are we just going to let them go out and spread the word?" Geng Zhi was extremely anxious.
Geng Rong curled her lips painted in bright red. Then she turned to look at Liu Yushu and gave a charming smile, "What's there to be afraid of? To catch a thief, you need to find the stolen goods; to catch an adulterer, you need to catch them in the act. What evidence do these two have? Even if they leave the Marquis Mansion and try to spread the word everywhere, who will believe them? Slandering Marquis Xianping is a serious crime. Don't others know that?" There was a smug smile in her voice, but her tone was as firm as iron.
Hearing this, Geng Zhi laughed, "It's still you, Sister Rong, who thinks things through." He glared at Wu Chunzhe, "If you ever fall into my hands in the future, I'll surely take your dog's life." After saying that, he led the bodyguards away.
"Hello, Sister Shu." Geng Rong greeted Liu Yushu with a smile. Although she was bowing, she didn't even bend her knees, which seemed impolite.
Liu Yushu glanced at her and replied politely, "Hello." One should not strike a smiling face. She recalled seeing Geng Rong in the inner courtyard this afternoon. It seemed that the person in front of her was not the same as the one she saw then.
This afternoon, Geng Rong's clothes were in disarray. Her soft white body was wrapped around Geng Zhi's. Her blushing face was full of a charming smile. She openly showed off her amorous affairs to Liu Yushu. In a blink of an eye, she could even viciously ask her brother to take Liu Yushu's life. She was truly a venomous beauty. Now, she was standing neatly dressed in front of Liu Yushu. She was wearing a bright rose - red dress, with a gold hairpin on her head, gold earrings on her ears, and a gold necklace around her neck. It was obvious that she loved gold ornaments very much. Her nails were painted red, and she was holding a powder - purple handkerchief embroidered with large red peonies.
Liu Yushu thought that the phrase "stunningly beautiful" probably described Geng Rong. However, Geng Rong was a bit too showy, giving people a feeling of being overbearing.
"Mr. Wu, it's getting late. I won't keep you any longer. Please go back." Geng Rong's smiling eyes sized up Wu Chunzhe up and down. Her look was ambiguous, making Wu Chunzhe feel very uncomfortable. He shivered and quickly looked at Liu Yushu, "Let's go together."
"Okay." Just as she was about to leave, her wrist was grabbed by Geng Rong. Geng Rong's grip was so strong that she couldn't shake it off. She knew that Geng Rong deliberately wanted to keep her, "You go first. I and..." She looked at Geng Rong, not knowing how to address her.
Geng Rong smiled sweetly, "My name is Geng Rong."
"I still have something to talk to Geng Rong about. She will send me back safely later. Right?" Liu Yushu deliberately looked at Geng Rong. She said this specifically for Wu Chunzhe to hear, so that he would remember that if anything happened to her, he should inform her family to come to the Marquis Mansion to rescue her.
"Of course." Geng Rong replied straightforwardly.
Wu Chunzhe was worried about her safety and didn't want to leave. Seeing Liu Yushu's determined look, he pouted, "Then I'll go first. Be careful. Don't believe what the seductress says." His words implied that Geng Rong was a seductress.
Geng Rong wasn't angry at all. Instead, she liked this title. She just wanted to be a seductress, a woman who could make all men bow down to her.
After Wu Chunzhe left, Geng Rong pulled Liu Yushu into her boudoir. Seeing Liu Yushu looking nervous, she gave a charming smile, "Sister, don't worry. I've already taken care of my mother. I told her that I'm fated to meet you and want to keep you in my room to chat."
Liu Yushu felt that Geng Rong didn't seem to mean to harm her and was quite enthusiastic towards her, so she felt a bit more at ease for the time being. She knew that Geng Rong probably kept her here to make her keep the secret of this afternoon.
After all, she knew Geng Rong's secret, a rather embarrassing one. It was as if she had caught Geng Rong's把柄. The legitimate daughter of Marquis Xianping's Mansion, a well - known figure in the noble circle of the capital, was a person of such noble status. It was a connection that others couldn't get even if they kowtowed nine times. She couldn't miss this opportunity.
If she wanted to enter the palace to see which prince would be suitable to be the emperor in the future, she would surely have to rely on powerful nobles. Although her grandmother could enter the palace in the capital, it was inconvenient for her to take her. If she could build a good relationship with Geng Rong, since Marquis Xianping was in the emperor's favor, it would be easy for her to enter the palace to attend various banquets.
Of course, this was also a double - edged sword. If Geng Rong got angry and decided to fight her to the bitter end, she would be in trouble.
When she entered the room, Liu Yushu squinted her eyes. Most of the decorations in the room were in gold and purple. Red candles and big red peonies were intertwined, making her eyes dazzled.
From this room, one could tell that Geng Rong had a flamboyant personality.
"You can all go out." Geng Rong ordered the maids with a smile. The maids retreated.
She pulled Liu Yushu into the inner room and sat in front of the dressing table herself.
On the couch made of gold, there were pink gauze curtains on both sides. The one on the left was neatly tied up, while the one on the right was scattered. On the couch, the pillows and quilts were in a mess, and there were several women's undergarments lying there openly. Liu Yushu shyly turned her head away.
Seeing Liu Yushu blushing, Geng Rong laughed generously, "These two undergarments were soiled by my two elder brothers this afternoon. I haven't had time to tell the maids to throw them away. My room is a bit messy. Sister Shu, don't laugh at me."
"..." These words made Liu Yushu's face turn even redder and her heart beat faster. She didn't expect Geng Rong to be so straightforward and mention the things this afternoon without any concealment.
Geng Rong laughed, her eyes full of charm, "Sister, have you never tasted the taste of a man? Even if you haven't, you must have seen those picture books! Since you've seen them, I don't believe you don't think about men."
Liu Yushu was stunned for a moment. Images appeared in her mind, but she quickly interrupted those vulgar pictures. In her previous life, she had seen some bad things in the black market of the Nanling Kingdom. She glared at Geng Rong and pursed her lips without saying a word. She thought that this young girl was extremely precocious and out of line in her behavior. She really lacked proper upbringing and was so ignorant!
"Sister, why are you in a daze? Have you remembered some wonderful past events?" Geng Rong said with a naughty smile.
"No." Liu Yushu said coldly, "You don't need to try to tempt me anymore. I'm different from you. I'm not interested in those things you mentioned at all."
Geng Rong was rebuffed but didn't get angry, "Since sister is not interested, why are you so excited?"
