Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 523 Chu Pingsheng's Father-in-Law's Curse

Two hours later.

On the embroidery building in the back garden of Weiyu Villa.

Ding, ding ding, ding ding.

dang dang...

The clear sound of the piano echoed in the empty courtyard. The soft and weak beauty on her daughter's bed moved her eyelashes slightly, moved her jade hands lightly, slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, and looked towards the source of the piano sound.

In the dim light, I could see the flickering candlelight, the light strokes of ten fingers, the continuous vibration of the thin and tough strings, the melody was clear and the tone was pleasant.

Her situation was different from that of Kankan. Kankan was affected by the illusion effect of the Song of the Rising Tide of the Blue Sea. Shang Xiufang only took the aphrodisiac given by Bian Bufu. She was so consumed by desire that she lost her mind, but she retained her memory and knew who had taken her body.

The young master of the Chai family is elegant and talented. Having a relationship with him is better than being ruined by a pervert like Bian Bufu.

Now that things have come to this, it can be considered a blessing in disguise.

On this point, Shang Xiufang was not pretentious. She would not be like those willful girls who thought that Chai Shao was taking advantage of her. A true gentleman should remain calm and help her detoxify in a more upright way, rather than taking possession of their bodies by sleeping with them.

After all, she is the most talented woman and famous prostitute in the world. Although she sells her art and not her body, since she has devoted herself to this line of work, her ability to accept things is naturally much higher than those ladies from wealthy families who never leave the house.

She lay on one side, with her wrist tilted on her head, watching him playing the piano under the window.

The pine wind slipped in through the slightly opened window, playfully plucking the strings of the zither and the unruly hair on his left side.

Shang Xiufang stared in amazement.

Until the last musical note disappeared in the wind, Chu Pingsheng picked up the mutton-fat white cup beside her and drank a sip of warm tea. Then she asked lazily and gracefully, "What song is this?"

"Hey, are you awake?"

Chu Pingsheng put down his teacup and looked over.

This glance was not a big deal, but she suddenly remembered the memory of the lovemaking in bed. Her pretty face immediately turned red, and she turned inside, covering her face with her hands, not daring to look him in the face.

"This piece of music is called the Pure Heart and Universal Good Mantra."

Chu Pingsheng sat down at the head of the bed and gently stroked her half-naked shoulders.

"..."

She didn't say anything, but she didn't hide either.

"This piece of music was originally composed by Zen Master Pu'an. I felt it was too solemn and lacked some human touch, so I made a slight modification to it, and it is the piece you just heard."

"Puan Mantra?"

Mrs. Shang suddenly turned around and looked at him with her beautiful eyes without blinking.

"Yes, the Puan Mantra."

Chu Pingsheng leaned over and took her into his arms: "Actually, the song I played was incomplete."

Shang Xiufang did not resist and let him do what he wanted.

"What do you mean?"

"This is actually a song played by Qin and Xiao, which requires the cooperation of two people to achieve perfection."

"Where's the score? I want to see it."

She suddenly straightened up and grabbed his hand that was trying to remove the blanket.

"We have to wait until tomorrow. You play the piano and I play the flute. Okay?"

"Not now?"

"There are more important things to do right now."

"what's up?"

Chu Pingsheng looked into her puzzled eyes from a close distance and said, "I'll play the piano, and you play the flute."

"Is it different?"

"Different."

Shang Dajie stared at him steadily, blinking his eyes again and again, unable to figure out the connection between the two.

……

By the time she understood, the night was almost over and the morning wind was cold.

Shang Xiufang shrank into his arms: "So your martial arts skills are so high."

"Yes."

"You still want to lie to me? Bian Bufu is the elder of the Demon Sect and a top expert in the Yingui Sect."

"You'll keep this secret for me, right?"

"I'm afraid this is... a bit difficult."

"is it hard?"

"Did you just arrive in Luoyang and haven't returned home yet?"

Chu Pingsheng looked puzzled: "Does this have anything to do with you helping me keep a secret?"

"Yes." Shang Xiufang said, "You may not know yet, but under the instigation of Wang Shichong and others, the emperor dismissed your father from his position as the Prince's Right Internal Officer and demoted him to a commoner on the grounds that the Chai father and son were not good at protecting the emperor. Now Rong Fengxiang, Shangguan Long, Sha Tiannan, Ren En and others are eyeing the Chai family's property. I don't think you will sit idly by and watch these people attack your father and the Chai family's property."

Shangguan Long knew that the Ming Zun Cult was the middleman who cooperated with the Yin Gui Cult on the surface. As for Sha Tiannan... was he Dugu Feng's cousin? Who was Ren En? He had no impression of him, after all, he was not in the TV series. As for the novel, the plot was very long, the number of words was too many, and the forces and characters were too complicated. He was not in the mood to sort it out and search.

Chu Pingsheng burst out laughing: "No wonder Li Yuan used Yang You to announce to the world that he accused my father and I of deserting the battlefield, and used this as an excuse to reject Yang Guang's arranged marriage. It turns out that he was imitating Wang Shichong's operation and was behind the scenes. One didn't want his daughter to marry into the Chai family, and the other was eyeing the Chai family's property. Moreover, one emperor in the East Capital and one emperor in the West Capital accused my father and me of not protecting the emperor well. It seems that it will be difficult for the Chai family to turn the tables."

Shang Xiufang stared at his handsome profile and said, "So now that things have come to this, can you still keep a low profile and be a peaceful young man?"

In the TV series, the Chai family was dependent on Li Yuan, helping the Li family to recruit soldiers and expand territory. But here they changed their route and broke up with Li Shimin. Now that Yang Guang is dead, many heroes have emerged. With the financial resources of the Chai family, they will definitely be coveted by ambitious people.

After escaping from Jiangdu, he became separated from Chai Shen. For the next two months, he traveled and stopped, enjoying the scenery while practicing dual cultivation. He spent every day with the beautiful queen who was coveted by many heroes, and was not in a hurry to return to Luoyang.

Chai Shen arrived home first. Two days ago, people from Yu Wenzhi's side spread the news that the queen had been found by Yu Wenshang, the best fighter of the Yu Wen family. Wang Shichong and others saw that he had not returned for a long time, so they naturally thought that this man with mediocre martial arts skills might have been killed by Yu Wenshang. They took the opportunity to attack Chai Shen. There was nothing wrong with their logic.

"You go back to the city later."

"how about you?"

"I'll be there later."

Shang Xiufang glanced at him and said nothing. She just snuggled into his arms again and sighed softly.

Chu Pingsheng looked out the window, thinking that he had not returned home all night, and Xiao Meiniang must be waiting anxiously.

He asked her to take a bath and change her clothes. Originally, he wanted to comfort her in the evening, but who knew that he would comfort Shang Dajia instead.

However, this is not his fault. It can only be said that it is a coincidence and things are unpredictable.

……

The next day.

at dusk.

The setting sun rests on the mountain, and the evening clouds are red.

In the Qingfeng Teahouse in Luoyang City, two people sat opposite each other, gazing out the window and sipping tea.

"How long?"

Rong Fengxiang, who had just come out of the bathhouse and felt refreshed, twirled the Buddhist beads placed on the corner of the tea table and glanced to the northwest, where he could vaguely see the gate tower of Chai Mansion.

The man opposite was short and stocky, a little hunchbacked, with thin cheeks and a pointed and narrow chin. He didn't look like a good person.

"If you count carefully, it has been one month and seven days since Chai Shen returned to Luoyang."

"Ren En, are you sure that Chai Shen has been staying in the palace since the emperor issued an order to strip him of his official position and title?"

"President Rong, are you worried about the Green Snake Gang's ability to do things? It's just a small matter of monitoring the movements of the Chai Mansion. It's not like swimming in a dragon's den or venturing into a tiger's den. How could it be difficult for the brothers in the gang?"

Ren En was a little unhappy and put the half-filled cup back.

"Haha, Gang Leader Ren, don't be angry. I am just a little worried. It is said that the father and son of the Chai family escaped from Jiangdu through a secret passage. What if Chai Shen uses the same trick again..."

"The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. The Chai family's ancestral home is Linfen. Ever since Chai Shao and Li Shimin fell out, Chai Shen brought his relatives from Linfen to Luoyang for settlement. Now that his family property and clan members are here, where can he run to?"

Ren En didn't take Rong Fengxiang's worries seriously. After Yang Guang's death, the Chai family had no backers to protect them. Wang Shichong had offered olive branches to Chai Shen several times, but they were all rejected by Chai Shen politely. As a result, the Chai family became the target of public criticism, and they were dismissed from office and stripped of their titles. Now everyone was concerned about the Chai family's property. Chai Shen wanted to escape? Then let him escape. As long as the property was still there, who would care about his stay or departure?

"That's true." Rong Fengxiang nodded slightly.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. The beautiful Rong Jiaojiao came up to the second floor with a red skirt in her hand, bringing a gust of fragrance. Ren En stared at her, calling her a fairy in his heart, and even forgot to drink the tea that was brought to his lips.

"father……"

"Why are you panicking?"

Rong Jiaojiao slowed down her pace, walked over to Rong Fengxiang and whispered something in his ear. The latter frowned, then waved his hand after a moment: "Okay, I got it."

Rong Jiaojiao smiled brightly at Ren En, then turned and left.

"Boss Ren..."

"Boss Ren?"

"Oh."

Rong Fengxiang called out twice before Ren En came back to his senses.

"Drink tea."

"Yes, tea, tea."

Ren En swallowed the tea in the cup with an embarrassed look on his face, while covering up his gaffe: "If President Rong has any urgent matters, please go ahead. Just leave the affairs of the Chai Mansion to me."

"It doesn't matter."

Rong Fengxiang actually cared a lot about what Rong Jiaojiao said - the conspiracy he and Wang Shichong had planned and implemented had not succeeded, Bian Bufu had not slept with his own daughter, and according to Shan Meixian and Monk Gong, the person had already left when they went to Weiyu Villa, and now the people from the Dongming School were having a good chat with Wang Shichong in the Shangshu Mansion.

Bian Bufu didn't know whether he recognized Shan Wanjing as his own daughter or he had something urgent to do and changed his mind temporarily. In any case, the conspiracy to intensify the hatred between the Dongming Sect and the Yingui Sect failed.

"Actually, I have something else to discuss with Gang Leader Ren about having tea at Qingfeng Tower."

Ren En put down his teacup and sat up straight, "President Rong, please speak."

"I heard that... Gang Leader Ren has some friendship with Song Shidao, the next head of the Lingnan Song Clan. Is this true?"

Hearing the three words "Song Shidao", Ren En's face changed slightly.
