Quick Transmigration - Counter Attack Of Various Characters 101 Dreams and Hopes

Just as Ning Fu was about to scold Zhou Sheng for leading the monarch astray, he realised that a group of people were going up a flight of stairs. 

With a fugitive glance, he noticed that they had entered the rooms that were earmarked for dining and felt that he could finally breathe properly. 

The more important point was that he noticed a few young masters from the capital were in that group and all of them had one thing in common. 

Before His Majesty had returned to the Imperial Capital, these Young Master's fathers had always fawned upon the first prince - Prince Xi. 

It didn't take much thought to realise what was going on in Zhou Sheng's mind. 

All of them followed as Su Li staggered up the stairs. 

When she made as if to fall, Ning Fu caught her by her arms and was rewarded with a smile for his efforts. 

The truth was that Su Li wasn't drunk. 

How could she be when she participated in so many banquets and parties in her life in the earlier world but she simply wanted to act drunk so as to save herself if anything unexpected occurred. 

Still, she didn't care to explain it all to Ning Fu and the quartet soon reached a room that was just adjacent to the one that group of Young Masters had entered. 

Once they took their seats, Su Li smiled at Baozhai and said, "How about you both go and bring a few dancers in here? Otherwise, it is too lonely up here?" 

When Changying made as if to protest, Baozhai quelled her with a slight glare and both of them went out of the room. 

Changying complained, "Why did you agree to come out of the room? The owner already asked us to keep an eye on that group. If she knows that we have been lax, she'll again cut off our monthly income." 

At her words, Baozhai turned towards her with clear contempt in her eyes.

"Changying, do you think I don't know about what goes on in that pretty little head of yours? Neither one of us is a fool, so I can clearly see what you were trying to do in there." 

Had that oblique reference been heard by some other girl in the establishment, they would have become flustered and immediately denied it for fear of reprisal by the proprietress of The Drunken Flower. 

However, contrary to expectations, those words didn't seem to have any effect on Changying. 

She didn't seem to be fazed by it, rather, she straightened her back even more like a tall tree that would remain unbending no matter how fierce the finds were and flicked a dismissive glance at the other girl.

"So? What are you trying to say? Be more straightforward with your words. I don't like this doublespeak." 

Changying tsked, "Don't tell me that you want to spend your entire life in this cesspool?" 

With a derisive laugh, she continued, "Oh no! How could I forget that our dear Baozhai is a secret romantic at heart? She dreams to be swept off her feet by her knight in shining armour." 

She stepped closer to the other girl and when both of them were almost in each other's face, she mocked, "How's that dream of yours coming along, Baozhai? Did you find someone idiotic enough to fall for your innocent and pure as snow act?" Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

At her words, the atmosphere turned strained and each of them showed their true nature to each other.

If eyes had the power to kill, they would have both been dead and buried six feet under by now. 

The strained atmosphere was broken when a waiter came up to them to ask why they were outside when the patrons were still inside. 

They simply informed him to bring in a few dancing girls for the quartet of Young Masters they were asked to serve. 

Meanwhile, the four Young Masters were currently straining their ears to hear what was being said in the room right next door. 

The truth was that Zhou Sheng hadn't simply asked Su Li to visit this place. 

He had made good use of the goodwill that he had earned from the Shadow Guards Princess had loaned out to him and had made sure to ask them to drill small holes in the walls of these two rooms so as to facilitate it for eavesdropping purposes and then asked them to send in some people to fill in the great of the rooms. 

He also knew that those young masters frequented this place so when he had seen them going upstairs, he had realised that his plan had fallen into place and that now they would be able to hear if those youngsters said anything worthwhile. 

No matter what, he had learnt his lesson in last life, so he wouldn't let Princess jump into the fire without proper precautions or not let her jump at all. 

It was just that he hadn't informed her of the semantics involved in all of this since he didn't want her to fret about things. As it was, she had enough responsibilities on her shoulders anyway.
