Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 188

Su Li returned to the Baishou Building. Ling Li wasn't there. She thought that he might be found and pushed upstairs by his brother, Ling Ping. Su Li didn't have the interest of enjoying the delicacies because of Su Zipei's appearance, so, she walked upstairs.

Seeing that Su Li went upstairs and didn't be stopped by the Royal Guards beside the stairs, people were stunned. They never thought that the girl they laughed at just now should have a higher status than them.

At the same time, Su Zipei was in disorder. She bumped over several long tables and her dress was sprinkled with meat soup. She walked out of the Shenwu Square unconsciously and then calmed herself down. Then she managed to identify the direction and ran towards the place where she often saw the mysterious girl.

She provoked the person whom she couldn't provoke. Her mother couldn't save her, so, she had to ask the mysterious girl for help!

Today, the street outside the Shenwu Square of Yunjing City was extraordinarily quiet. Su Zipei run faster and faster as if the hope was in front of her. She turned a corner and at this moment, a sedan also came head-on towards her.

It was too late for Su Zipei to stop. “Bang!” She bumped into a servant who carried the sedan.

“Ouch!”

Su Zipei fell to the ground on her back. The sedan was also unstable, which made the person in the sedan uncovered the curtain to see what happened. The person was a man at 30s. His appearance showed that he was a dignified and noble man. Su Zipei guessed that he must be a nobility.

Su Zipei cursed in her heart and thought that she was so unlucky. She not only offended the master of the Ling Family but bumped into the Master of nobility in the street.

She stood up hurriedly. The middle-aged man saw the jade pendant on her waist and was stunned. He sat still for a long time.

“I am sorry to bump into the Master. Please forgive me.”

Su Zipei made several kowtows. Seeing that the Master said nothing, the butler waved his hands impatiently. Su Zipei was quite happy. She stood up and ran away at once. She didn't notice that her jade pendant was stolen by a figure at the moment she passed though the sedan.

The middle-aged man brought his thoughts back and shouted angrily, “Turn back, quickly! Stop that girl!”

The butler was shocked. He hadn't seen his Master get angry for many years. He used his martial arts and caught Su Zipei's shoulder. Then he threw Su Zipei in front of the sedan and apologized, “I didn't know your meaning, Master. It's my fault!”

Snapped!

The middle-aged man walked out of the sedan and slapped the butler. Then he said angrily, “Why are you so rude to her? Apologize to her quickly!”

“Yes, Yes, Yes.”

The butler was afraid of being slapped again and didn't dare to refute. He turned to Su Zipei and apologized, “Miss, I am too rude just now. Sorry.”

Hearing that, the middle-aged man wasn't so angry. Then he turned around excitedly and looked at Su Zipei who was confused. But he didn't see the jade pendant on Su Zipei's waist.

Did he have illusion?!

The middle-aged man's hand stopped in the air. Was it his illusion? But he really saw the jade pendant just now. Was it because he always thought about the jade pendant and that affected his normal vision?

Su Zipei thought that today should be a blessing in disguise. She met the Master from a noble family by chance and was very happy. But suddenly, the Master was terribly cool towards her.

She was extremely puzzled. The middle-aged man waved his hands disappointedly and returned to the sedan before Su Zipei reacted. “Give her some silver as the compensation for frightening her. Let's go.” The Master said.

The butler seemed to be accustomed to the eccentric behavior of his master. He threw several silver ingots and waved to servants to go towards the Shenwu Square.

Su Zipei looked at the distant sedan and then looked at the silver on the ground.

That rich Master just left?

She was quite disappointed!

She picked up the silver ingots and put them in her arms. “Bah!” Then she said with a vicious expression, “People in Yunjing City are really as annoying as my Second Sister.”

The middle-aged man who still observed Su Zipei secretly in the sedan shook his head after seeing Su Zipei's behavior. He thought that he really had an illusion just now. She was so rude and couldn't be his daughter.

The sedan disappeared from the corner. Su Zipei patted her dress and stood up. Her face was colorless instantly.

She didn't dare to look at her waist and just groped with her hands for several times. But she didn't feel the jade pendant.

Finally, she couldn't help looking down. Her mind was in a blank when she saw there was nothing on her waist.

The jade pendant was lost!

Her biggest support in Yunjing City was lost!

How could she return to her clan without the jade pendant? How could she enter into the rich and powerful families?

“No, I must drop it on the ground when I ran just now!”

After crying for a moment kneeling on the ground, Su Zipei came to her sense and looked for it crazily along the street. If people didn't go to the Baishou Feast and saw her crazy appearance, she would be the biggest scandal the next day.

“Where is it?! Where is it?!”

Su Zipei became more and more desperate. Her eyes filled with tears and her vision was blurred. If the jade pendant was picked up by someone, she would never find it…

Su Zipei was still looking for the jade pendant crazily. At the same time, the sedan of the middle-aged man stopped at the edge of the Shenwu Square. The middle-aged man walked out of the sedan and looked at the seven-story building in the distance. He murmured, “I haven't come to the Baishou Building for many years.”

The butler who stood nearby said immediately, “The Majesty said that the Baishou Building was yours. You are the only owner.”

The middle-aged man shook his head and walked towards the Baishou Building disappointedly. If his luxurious robe was neglected, it could be seen from his expression that he was just a misery scholar.

“It has been so many years. Don't you forget it yet?”

The butler sighed and kept up with the middle-aged man.

At this time, Xuan Jingzhou and his wife were collecting meat with a basin in the square. They wouldn't give up the opportunity of getting meat freely.

The proprietress put the meat into her mouth as the Royal Guards didn't notice. She looked around flexibly with her gleaming eyes. Suddenly, she saw the back of the middle-aged man who entered into the Baishou Building. Her smile vanished and her happy expression was full of hostility now.

Ah?

The butler perceived that someone looked at them viciously. He turned around suddenly and found the babble of the crowd. No one released the killing intention.

That was his illusion?

The butler shook his head and followed the middle-aged man into the building. “Even if it wasn't my illusion, the person wasn't so stupid to take actions here.” The butler thought.

Seeing that the butler walked into the building, Xuan Jingzhou was relieved. He still grabbed the proprietress's hand and transmitted the sound in silence, “Keep calm! Don't you remember what the monk of Mount Chan said? Do you want to ruin our seven years' efforts today?”

The proprietress took a deep breath. She calmed herself down and continued to eat. Xuan Jingzhou couldn't see her face clearly but heard the resentful words from her.

“I won't give up! My sister died but he lives without any guilt. Why?!”

Xuan Jingzhou sighed and comforted the proprietress in a deep voice, “Let's talk when we go back home. It's not safe here…”

Actually, Xuan Jingzhou didn't have so much resent for the middle-aged man as his wife. Because the middle-aged man wasn't a heartless man as the proprietress said.

As a Lord, the middle-aged man didn't marry other women in his lifetime. Wasn't it enough to prove that he wasn't a heartless man?

But Xuan Jingzhou didn't dare to tell those words to his wife.

On entering into the Baishou Building, the middle-aged man attracted most of the young men's attention as if he was born with unique charm. People couldn't help looking at him several times.

“Who is he?”

“I don't know.”

Almost all the young talents here knew rich and powerful men in Yunjing City, but they didn't know whom the middle-aged man was.

“Lord, let's go upstairs.”

The butler said carefully in a low voice. The middle-aged man stood in the first floor for a long time and didn't want to go upstairs. He glanced at every corner of the Baishou Building as if he saw the scene that year.

However, he wasn't the young man before. Everything was past and people of that year couldn't return.

“Lord, it's time to go upstairs. If we are late and the feast has begun, you will lose face.”

The butler couldn't help reminding him again. The middle-aged man swung his arms and replied coldly, “What prestige do I have?”

“Lord…”

The butler sighed. Then he bent over and kept up with him quickly.

At this moment, Su Li sat on the top floor and drank alone. Everybody kept at least one-meter away from her. Because Ling Li, the playboy, said that if one dared to approach Su Li, he wouldn't let the person go out of the Baishou Building safe and sound.

Su Li was quite helpless for that, but she had no other choices. Considering her identity now, she had to let Ling Li do what he wanted. Fortunately, Ma Jintian came to provoke him. Ling Li was busy quarreling with him, so, Su Li could sit here quietly.

If one wanted to put on a satisfactory play, one must integrate himself or herself into the character. Glancing at Ling Li and Ma Jintian who were still quarreling, Su Li thought it was quite funny. Ling Li pretended to be a playboy for over ten years, so, he could interpret the character perfectly.

Thud-thud…

At this moment, the slow tramp of feet came from the stairs. Many people turned back to see which talented one arrived.

When they saw the middle-aged man, they were all stunned. Some were so shocked that they even dropped their wine glasses on the ground unconsciously. Then people were in a chaos.

“He came here?!”

“He hasn't walked out of his mansion for more than ten years, has he? He should come today.”

“It is said that he is seriously ill and can only stay at home, right?”

“Who is he?”

Young talents from deep-rooted families recognized the middle-aged man at the first sight, but those from emerging families didn't know who the man was.

Su Li was attracted by the chaos and turn around. She was stunned suddenly as if her heart was stroke by a hammer. She couldn't hold the wine glass and she just let it drop on the table. The wine was sprinkled on the ground.

It's him…

The First Prince, the Second Prince and the Third Prince almost stood up simultaneously and walked towards the middle-aged man. They bowed to salute.

Because the middle-aged man was the younger brother of the emperor, the Eighth Lord of Dahan Country, Lord Rui!

“Eighth Uncle!”
