Chapter 747: Chapter 747 Full-Body Ulceration Chapter 747: Chapter 747 Full-Body Ulceration Miss Cheng was brought back to Qinger Building by Xuexue two months ago.
At that time, still in Jingshan Town, she was covered in scars, not a single patch of her skin was healthy, all festering and oozing pus, her face was the same, her features indiscernible, utterly revolting.
She consulted many doctors and took quite some medicine before she slowly recovered.
After the wounds on her face healed.
Everyone discovered that Miss Cheng was actually extremely beautiful, and moreover, she played the pipa exquisitely.
However, Miss Cheng had a peculiar temperament, ever since her recovery, she disliked interacting with others.
In her free time, she loved playing the pipa, and her mournful singing could captivate anyone who listened.
Gradually, everyone knew that Miss Cheng played the pipa beautifully.
“Gentlemen, I shall have the honor,” Miss Cheng was unusually docile today.
Nanny Sun even doubted if it was the same person.
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she might doubt, but she was not foolish enough to voice it.
With the resonant strumming and plucking, the tune “Beauty of Qin” came to an end, its soft and gentle singing leaving the listeners feeling very soothed.
Zhang Ruixuan couldn’t help but applaud, he hadn’t heard such pleasing music for a long time.
This level of performance could only be heard in the Imperial Palace.
It was indeed rare to hear such fine music today in the newly opened Qinger Building, and the performer was an Oiran, no less.
“Miss Cheng, Nanny Sun has been ceaselessly praising your beauty, and I, being unworthy, would be honored to witness your beauty myself,” Zhang Ruixuan expressed his admiration for the woman before him and intended to make her acquaintance.
“Thank you for your exaggerated praise, sir. In truth, I am quite ordinary-looking, Nanny Sun exaggerates too much,” Miss Cheng remained seated at the table, clearly unwilling to remove her veil for all to see.
“Impudent cheap maid, when my Young Master compliments you and asks you to remove your veil, you should do so. What’s with all the nonsense?” one of the men glared furiously.
Zhang Ruixuan’s voice was calm yet imperious, “Xiao Shan, you must not be rude.”
Xiao Shan stepped aside: “Yes!”
Zhang Ruixuan was still longing for more as he was about to ask Miss Cheng to play another piece.
But Miss Cheng had already stood up with her pipa and bowed to Zhang Ruixuan. “If the Young Master has no further requests, I shall take my leave.”
Having said that, without waiting for Zhang Ruixuan to respond, she took her pipa and turned to walk out.
Her action left everyone in the room stunned.
“Young Master, did you see that… It’s outrageous. Should I bring her back?” Miss Cheng’s disregard for Zhang Ruixuan infuriated Xiao Shan. A prostitute dared to be so presumptuous in front of the Fourth Prince.
“Leave it,” Zhang Ruixuan gestured dismissively. They were not there for pleasure today; they had come to Qinger Building to gather information.
He chatted with Nanny Sun for a while.
Unexpectedly, Nanny Sun was quite shrewd, always evading his questions with laughter, making it impossible for him to glean any useful information. Having no other choice, he decided to head back home.
But when Nanny Sun placed the bill before him, it gave him a shock; he thought he was seeing things.
“Xiao Shan, come look at the bill and tell me how much Silver is required?”
Xiao Shan took the bill with a puzzled look and after a glance, his eyes bulged out, stuttering, “Ma-Master, it’s…twelve thousand, two hundred taels.”
“What?” Zhang Ruixuan was equally astounded. He had never in his life had such an outrageously expensive drink; it was nothing short of exorbitant.
“Nanny Sun, what is the meaning of this?” Zhang Ruixuan’s face darkened with anger, to think that someone would dare to swindle him, as if they had the gall of a leopard.
Nanny Sun was also drumming her fingers nervously inside, as the price was set by her Master, and she could not alter it.
