Ly Su Su really hates going on sightseeing trips.
Because she was originally born into an official family, with a mother who loved her dearly, and a father who doted on her greatly.
Her father was a fifth-rank official, who had once made a firm resolution to be an honest and upright official.
However, living in an environment full of corrupt officials, he gradually succumbed to their influence and became a corrupt official himself. The truth was eventually revealed, he was punished by the court and lost his head.
This event caused a great change in her life, her mother couldn't withstand the blow and passed away due to illness, and she herself was branded as the daughter of a corrupt official. Fortunately, she was redeemed by the Bach Hoa Phuong and didn't suffer too much from the consequences.
Therefore, she really hates corrupt officials and their acceptance of bribes!
It comes from the extreme hatred in her heart!
So, letting her go on a sightseeing trip is absolutely unacceptable!
Especially someone like Lion, who insists on accompanying her as a high-ranking official, she is even more unwilling!
"I'm really sorry, miss, for bringing up your painful past!" Little Thuy apologized.
Ly Su Su forced a smile, took little Thuy's hand, and said gently, "It's alright, Thuy, I just feel a little uncomfortable, it's all in the past!
The two girls have been living together since they were young, on the surface as master and servant, but in fact, they have a sisterly bond.
With just a look and a word, they understand each other's thoughts.
"Miss, if you don't want to choose the Imperial official, we can choose someone else who suits your taste!" Little Thuy said.
"Who else? The old Cao has spoken, he is so powerful that no one dares to challenge him! It seems that I cannot escape his grasp in this lifetime!" Ly Su Su's face was filled with anguish.
Looking back on her life, she had mostly faced difficulties as her companion.
Sometimes, she wished for death to come.
But she found some peace of mind in Little Thuy.
In the end, if she died, Little Thuy would have no way to protect herself.
"Miss..." Little Thuy stammered, her eyes filled with worry.
Ly Su Su thought for a moment, then looked resolute: "It's fine, let's just choose this Imperial official!"
Little Thuy was horrified: "Miss, don't you hate court officials? Why..."
"Compared to that useless the old Cao, the newly appointed Imperial official Lion is more talented, with a noble and elegant appearance, and he is favoured by the Empress. Why shouldn't I choose a good man to marry?"
"Furthermore, if I marry an Imperial official, the two of them will inevitably fight each other! One is a high-ranking court official, the other is favoured by the Empress. They will definitely hurt each other in the fight! Whether someone dies or gets injured, it's all for the sake of the people!"
"Ly Su Su let out a desperate laugh: "This might be the only time I have any value in existence!"
"Miss. . ."
"Miss Thuy, you don't need to advise me, I've made up my mind!"
. . .
At that moment, Lion was drinking his wine when suddenly there was a commotion.
"Miss Su Su has arrived!"
"Everyone, look! Miss Su Su has arrived!"
"She's really beautiful!"
. . .
Lion turned around and saw a stunning and graceful young lady walking towards the stage, exuding an aura of wealth and elegance, unlike a woman of the brothel.
Lion couldn't help but silently praise, what a beauty!
No wonder so many people were enchanted and couldn't help but remember and long for her!
And at that moment, the young lady also turned her head and looked towards Lion.
She secretly thought to herself, what a handsome young master from a prominent family, such a gorgeous youth time and time again!
Another talented person with exceptional skills, offering myself to him is not a disgrace!
If only he weren't such a good-looking playboy!
At this moment, Ly Su Su walked onto the stage, her lips slightly lifted, her voice pleasant and melodious.
"I, Ly Su Su, offer a song for everyone!"
"Great! Please, Miss Su Su!" Everyone applauded and cheered.
Ly Su Su sat down at the piano, her beautiful fingers delicately hovering over the strings. After a moment, a beautiful and mournful melody flowed out.
Everyone was entranced, and the noisy hall turned quiet, only the sound of the piano remained.
Lion sipped his wine quietly, appreciating the performance.
One cannot deny that Ly Su Su played the piano very well, she was also beautiful and talented, far better than any movie star.
Comparing beauty and talent, she was simply amazing.
However, Lion had a feeling that Ly Su Su was looking at him, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Her gaze was a little strange, a little appreciative, and a little regretful.
As the song ended, the audience burst into applause and praise.
"Great! Fantastic!"
"Once again, Miss Su Su has touched my heart with her piano!"
"Reward her! Double the reward!"
. .
Ly Su Su bowed to express her gratitude, "Thank you for your kindness, everyone! And thank you all for your support until now. However, today may be the last time this little girl performs!"
Everyone was alarmed, "Why?"
"Because..." Ly Su Su smiled, "The little girl has found her husband! From now on, she will follow her husband wherever he goes, raise our children, and will not have to perform anymore. Please forgive me!"
