Quick Transmigration - Counter Attack Of Various Characters 99 Gentlemanly Behaviour

Why had he agreed to this hair-brained scheme?

Well, it wasn't that he didn't know or see the charlatans in his army but he had always stayed away from them because when he was fighting at the border, the enemies would sometimes send girls to kill the soldiers in the dead of the night. 

Since he had seen such scenes from a very young age, it had culled his desire for such frivolous activities but here he was now in an entertainment house and he was sure the girl would try to take some sort of advantage - physical or monetary of him. 

The girl also sat alongside him and introduced herself as Changying. She deftly refilled his empty wine bowl.

Her actions irritated him but he couldn't be brusque with her like he usually was with his soldiers so he simply kept his mouth shut and drank the wine slowly. 

Since he had to go through with this torture, he might as well just enjoy the food and wine to while away the time till the monarch had his fill and left for the Imperial Palace. 

Ning Fu only hoped that the monarch wouldn't decide to spend the night here. 

He doesn't know why but his heart gave a twinge at that thought. 

When he catches the monarch and the other girl lean into each other and talk softly, he couldn't help but pay more attention to the scene. 

He saw as the girl must have said something funny because the monarch laughed and the girl turned away her shyly. 

Humph!

Whom was she acting so coy for?

None of the girls in an entertainment house were pure white snow as they tried to portray themselves. 

Still, since the monarch seemed to be enjoying her company, he couldn't even say any harsh words to her even though the scene seemed to prick his eyes. 

When he saw the girl tuck her arm in the crook of the monarch's arm and nestle into his side, he lost the small amount of patience he had been trying to trudge up in such a situation. 

Simultaneously, when he found the girl by his side trying to slide her hand covertly over his leg, he hardly gripped her hand. 

Changying wasn't surprised by the strong grip on her hand by the patron. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

After all, the said person's strong build clearly showed that he practised martial arts. However, what left her confused was the anger she could see something in his eyes. 

She had spent her entire life here, her mother had also been a worker in this establishment and she had also been raised here and worked here.

So, she had enough experience to realise that most men who were seen as reputable and respectable by the citizens and nobles like were not that different from other lower-class lecherous men who visited such places. 

Once men fell under the enthral of a woman, they were nothing more than puppets that could dance to the tune of the said women. 

Therefore, since a young age, she had always had the heart to leave this life of serving others daily behind. 

Even if someone only agreed to keep her as a concubine, she would leave this place with a spring in her step.

So, when she heard the proprietress say that there were a few young masters who had come to their entertainment house for some enjoyment and asked her to keep an eye on them, she had made her own plans as well. 

She thought that if she could snag one of them, she could free herself of this deplorable life and leave because no one in the Imperial Capital would buy-out the girls in this house for fear of angering the person on top. 

But that person wouldn't make trouble for outsiders for fear of tarnishing his name. 

However, she could see all her plans shattering as she looked into those eyes that looked like as if a lake had frozen over in them. 

With rising trepidation, she pulled her hand away from that bruising grip and gave a watery smile. 

The young master simply snorted at her in derision but she felt as if she had just dodged a sword. 

She widened her eyes as if terribly afraid and in a trembling voice whispered, "If — If this servant is not up to Young Master's liking, should this servant send another girl to serve Young Master?" 

Ning Fu knew that the exaggerated travelling and stuttering was faked by the girl in order to get out of the predicament.

Pointing towards Zhou Sheng with his chin, he ordered, "How about you go and keep company with my good friend? He seems to be lonely" 

Hesitantly, she rose from her seat, bowed to him once again and shuffled towards Zhou Sheng. 

Su Li herself had been keeping an eye on the ongoings around her so when she saw that Ning Fu had sent the other girl packing, she shifted in her seat and with a smile asked Baozhai to go and call for the best waiter personally. 

Baozhai didn't want to leave the gentleman who had really treated her with respect for the first time since she had started working in this place but she agreed to the order even if she was unwilling.

She knew the other person had only casually found a reason to send her away so as to talk to his companions. 

Still, she didn't have the heart to act unreasonably so as not to be sent away like she would have done with other patrons and went to the kitchens to ask for a reliable waiter.
