The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 23
Recalling what happened just now, Lin Zisu felt a flash of remorse, regretting that she shouldn't have drunk so much wine.But Liang Mingtai cursed, and Lin Zisu felt that the attack just now was too light.

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she said: "Young Master Liang, I offended you so much just now, let me offer you a glass of wine as well, as an apology for you."

This was said by Liang Mingtai, and Lin Zisu copied it back to Liang Mingtai, full of irony.

How could Liang Mingtai not understand Lin Zisu's meaning, the veins on his forehead popped up, he gritted his teeth and said: "Lin Zisu! If it wasn't for Liang Wanyi's sake, I would have been rude!"

Lin Zisu's eyes turned cold, she stared at Liang Mingtai and asked, "Oh? Then I want to take a look."

The disturbance just now completely extinguished Liang Mingtai's desire to marry Lin Zisu. He really couldn't figure out why such a young girl had such sharp eyes, which made him feel cold.

Liang Mingtai had lingering fears, took a step back and felt that it was not appropriate, and took another step back and said: "Lin Zisu, a gentleman speaks but does not move, and this son is not as knowledgeable as you. May as well tell you, this son wanted to marry you back before, but it was just The brothers have a bet, just play casually, don't think that I've taken a fancy to you, look at the two pieces of flesh on your chest, which man would be interested?"

When Liang Wanyi went to clean the room and came back, she heard Liang Mingtai's words from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Liang Mingtai, what are you talking about!"

Lin Zisu also asked at the same time: "Liang Mingtai, what did you say?"

The words of the two are the same, but the meaning they express is very different.

When Liang Mingtai saw his younger sister coming back, his heart pounded, he turned his eyes to the side, and said sternly, "This is at my house, can you control what I say?"

What Liang Mingtai said just now made Lin Zisu feel a little strange. She thought that when she first met this group of dudes, they made fun of herself, and just now when she heard Liang Mingtai talk about a bet, could it be that she made a move against herself again? What shameful thing?

Lin Zisu asked coldly: "Liang Mingtai, what is the 'gamble' you mentioned just now?"

Liang Wanyi didn't care about the injury on her foot, she trotted up to her with her skirt, and then asked, "That's right! You've been clamoring to marry Sister Zisu, what's going on? Also, you and your sister What kind of heart do you want to help your friends?!"

Faced with the two people's questioning, Liang Mingtai suddenly panicked.

He just wanted to have fun for a while, accidentally slipped his mouth, and said falteringly: "No...it's nothing, sister, you're back, I...I'll go now."

Liang Wanyi sneered, and said: "Liang Mingtai, if you don't say yes, then I will make it clear to you. You insulted my guest today, and I will go to my father to discuss it in a while; by the way, your two precious green beads And Hongxiu, let’s wait for their mother to give them titles, I can talk to my mother; and..."

Liang Wanyi naturally knew Liang Mingtai's weakness clearly. Liang Mingtai walked more than a foot away, and after listening to Liang Wanyi's threats and temptations, he turned back and begged for mercy repeatedly: "My dear sister, you will spare my brother this one Go back."

He paused, touched his nose, and said in a low voice: "It's not a big deal, even if it concerns you."

Liang Wanyi drove all the servants out of the garden, only Liang Mingtai and Lin Zisu were in the pavilion.

In front of Lin Zisu and Liang Wanyi, Liang Mingtai was still a little uncomfortable, drooping his head, and said: "That day I went out for a horse race with my fourth brother and met Miss Lin Lin, everyone said she was a small family The daughter of the family, the fourth brother just said no, seeing that the bead flower on her head is also a girl from a rich family."

"At that time, we made a bet with the fourth brother and His Highness King Dun. If he can show us the bead flower on Miss Lin's head for a closer look, he will win."

Liang Mingtai went on to say: "Later, I don't know what kind of rhetoric the fourth brother said, Miss Lin gave him the bead flower on his head. Xu Wentao was not convinced, so he made another bet. Whoever can marry Miss Lin will be the winner."

Liang Wanyi stood on tiptoe, poked Liang Mingtai's forehead fiercely with her fingers a few times, and said angrily: "Liang Mingtai, Liang Mingtai, what do you want me to say about you? It's fine to play around on weekdays, and it's so absurd to treat marriage as a joke." You dare to nod your head, where's your brain?"

Liang Mingtai murmured in a low voice: "At that time, I thought about it, our Changguo mansion is the only mansion in Beijing, and most of them are girls who want to marry in. Even if they are girls from rich families, there is no mansion comparable to ours. A few companies would lose for no reason, so... they got involved."

Only then did Lin Zisu understand why since she was reborn, this group of playboys have not only been pestering her endlessly, but also courted her more than once.

In her previous life, she had often heard from Xie Yao that these gangsters in the capital had nothing to do and were lawless. Sleeping in flowers and willows and molesting women were commonplace, and often provoked the censor to participate in the performance.

I didn't expect them to be more out of line in this life, and even bet on marriage. There is probably nothing in this world that they dare not do, right?
Lin Zisu was angry and funny, so Liang Wanyi continued to ask, "Aside from you, who else was involved?"

"They didn't dare. Zhao Shixun and Qin Lu wanted to get involved, but later they said that their family would definitely not agree, so they each paid 500 taels of silver and left."

Speaking of this, Liang Mingtai said in a proud tone: "In the end, the fourth brother, Xu Wentao and I made this bet. Now, I heard that something went wrong with Xu Wentao. The eldest princess will definitely not agree to this marriage. Not to mention the fourth brother, his current status is not ordinary, even if he takes a concubine, he has to be recorded by the Ministry of Rites, so..."

"So I can only marry you?"

Lin Zisu teased: "Master Liang, you have two concubines in your family. If I enter your house, how will you settle me down?"

Hearing her bad words, Liang Mingtai didn't dare to say anything too outrageous in front of his younger sister, and said in a sour tone: "Let's forget it, I want to live happily for a few more years, if I marry a few wives and concubines , won't you be bound by your wife and concubine for the rest of your life?"

"Besides, you are a cruel, ruthless girl who is neither beautiful nor shameless. Marrying you into the family may cause trouble."

"Tomorrow, I will call them together and explain clearly. If I don't accompany you to this nonsense, whoever you want to marry, whether you take it as a concubine or marry as the main house, it has nothing to do with me."

Liang Wanyi didn't understand why her brother figured it out. It was rare for him to let go at this moment. Hearing that his words to Lin Zisu were very frivolous, she reprimanded softly: "How are you talking! How can Sister Zisu be so cruel?"

Liang Mingtai was a little guilty and stopped answering the conversation. Liang Wanyi thought for a while and then asked: "What do you mean when you said that the eldest princess will definitely not agree?"

Liang Mingtai said in a low voice: "I drank with Zhao Shixun the day before yesterday, and said that the eldest princess didn't like it..."

Speaking of which, he glanced at Lin Zisu, and continued: "Xu Wentao called people together two days ago and is forcing them to come up with ideas. It seems that he has already thought of a way. As for the way, Zhao Shixun doesn't care about it." Ken said."

Lin Zisu got a general idea. It turned out that the eldest princess didn't like her, which saved her and Xu Wentao from bothering to deal with each other.

But when Liang Mingtai said that they had an idea again, he immediately lifted his heart and asked: "You guys, how can you have any brilliant ideas, let alone a bad idea for Xu Wentao."

Liang Mingtai smiled wickedly, and said, "It's best to let him beat him with a bad idea. I don't want Xu Wentao to take advantage of it."

His words attracted the attention of Lin Zisu and Liang Wanyi. Lin Zisu asked curiously, "Aren't you friends who hang out together? Eat and drink together...gambling, and intrigue?"

Liang Mingtai said with an expression of reluctance: "Xu Wentao has been violent and domineering since he was a child. He takes no account of anyone because his mother is the eldest princess. What he usually likes is never Willing to let us have a fight, I wish he could run into trouble, let me tell you, when you see him again, use your abilities, if he is deflated, tell me, and I will treat you to a big drink later."

Lin Zisu laughed secretly in her heart, this Liang Mingtai is an unreasonable person, but evil people have their own troubles, and they would think that other people are strong and domineering, and can make these dudes submissive. It seems that Xu Wentao's domineering name is indeed True to its name.

For a person like this, it's better for him to stay far away.

Liang Mingtai spoke vigorously and wanted to continue. Seeing that Liang Wanyi's expression was not good, he immediately changed the subject and said, "Fourth brother is better. He never puts on the prince's airs and always cares about the brothers. Every time he goes to Wanhualou , Hehe, always give us the top card."

Liang Mingtai had just finished mentioning Xie Xi, and seeing Lin Zisu's expression changed, he thought she had something in mind for Xie Xi, so he smiled and said, "Lin Zisu, Miss Lin, don't think about fourth brother Xiao, since the bet Since then, he hasn't made any movement, and he thought he was just playing tricks on us that day."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Zisu's chest, swallowed, and still made a disdainful expression: "Besides, there is no shortage of women in the fourth brother's house now. Look at your body, how can fourth brother fancy you?"

Lin Zisu said angrily, "Liang Mingtai! You are courting death!"

As he spoke, he raised his fist towards Liang Mingtai. Liang Mingtai shrank his head, curled his lips secretly, and took another two steps back.

Maybe it was Lin Zisu's kick just now that Liang Mingtai remembered deeply, maybe Liang Wanyi's threat played a role. Liang Mingtai felt extremely uncomfortable in front of Lin Zisu.

Seeing that staying any longer would definitely be asking for trouble, so he cupped his hands symbolically towards Lin Zisu and said, "Lin Zisu, ever since I met you, a stinky girl, my son's luck has been in a mess, I think it's because you are born to restrain others." Whoever meets him will be unlucky."

"In front of my sister today, I'm putting my words here. You look down on me, and I'm not interested in you. In the future, it's best not to see each other."

Lin Zisu didn't take Liang Mingtai's sarcasm and sarcasm at all. Instead, he felt that he was freed from Liang Mingtai's entanglement, and he had less unnecessary troubles.

She let out a long sigh of relief, followed Liang Mingtai's example and cupped her hands, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my lord, even if I am born to kill others, for the sake of sister Yi, I will show mercy when I meet you again."

Liang Mingtai stopped answering Lin Zisu's words, and found a corner where the two girls couldn't see, rubbed the sore spot on his stomach secretly, and said to Liang Wanyi, "Sister, brother, go out and play for a while, you can continue drinking."

Seeing that Liang Wanyi didn't speak, she flicked her robe sleeves casually a few times, but there was still some dull pain in her wrist, so he gave Lin Zisu a hard look.

Liang Mingtai saw that Lin Zisu's eyes were not on him all the time, and consciously saved some face, he turned and left with a complacent expression.

After Liang Mingtai's disturbance, Lin Zisu and Liang Wanyi no longer had any interest in admiring flowers and composing poems. They sat in the gazebo for a while, and then went back to Liang Wanyi's yard to taste a few cups of tea. Lin Zisu got up and said goodbye.

Liang Wanyi sent Lin Zisu to the door, and Lin Zisu said with some embarrassment: "Sister Yi, I'm sorry for brother Ling today, please forgive me later."

Liang Wanyi didn't understand, so she thought that what Lin Zisu said was breaking Liang Mingtai's family affairs, and said with a smile: "My brother's temperament is known in the capital. Today, my mother and brother were rude, and Guan Zisu's sister What's up?"

Lin Zisu drank a lot of wine at noon, and she was a little drunk at first. After being blown by the wind along the way, she fell asleep at home.

This sleep was very uncomfortable, and when I woke up it was time to light the lamp, Fei Cui took a bowl of hangover soup and said: "The madam just came to see the lady, and seeing that the lady is still asleep, she ordered the servant to cook a bowl of hangover soup for preparation. Let's drink quickly, miss."

While Lin Zisu was drinking the sober soup, Fei Cui said again: "Madam said, it's getting late today, Miss is resting in her room, there is no need to go over to say hello."

Lin Zisu read in the study for a while until the second watch.

On the second day, I still had some headaches, so I fiddled with the gadgets in the small study, and was locked up in the courtyard for another day, until the morning of the third day, after I had greeted Bi Shi, and was about to go out for a walk, I listened to the concierge. The report said that it was Miss Liang Er from Chang Guogong's mansion who came to see her.

She neither sent greeting cards nor made an appointment in advance. Liang Wanyi came to the door in such a hurry, she must have something important to do. Lin Zisu felt strange and ordered Amber to take her to her courtyard.

As soon as Liang Wanyi saw Lin Zisu, seeing no one was around, she whispered to Lin Zisu, "Sister Zisu, have you heard the gossip in the city?"

Lin Zisu shook her head blankly, and looked at Liang Wanyi with some doubts.

Liang Wanyi pulled her into the room, frowned and said: "Yesterday Liang Mingtai went back after drinking. I heard from him that rumors spread from somewhere that you not only beat my brother, but also His Highness King Dun. Now Everyone in Beijing knows that you are so bold that even the prince dares to teach you a lesson."
