Lady Su's Revenge

On the shore of the evening, Su Li slapped Ling Li indifferently without saying anything. She only had a glance at his lips and turned away. Water vapor rose from her as she walked. She looked like a fairy. After two or three steps, her clothes were dry as usual.

Ling Li stroked his cheeks and put his fingertips on his lips which were bitten by Su Li. He stared at the pretty figure of Su Li for a moment and pondered. She breathed deeply just now. He knew that she was not as indifferent and calm as she just behaved.

That time in the yard of valley, when she detoxified him... she clearly took the initiative to kiss him. This time he was just trying to cover them up, but she bit his lips and slapped him severely. Why?

There was a burning pain on his cheeks. Ling Li used his vital energy to dilute the red mark and the wounds on his lips healed up in an instant. He turned his back in the opposite direction and did not chase Su Li.

The night wind blew. An inexplicable smile flashed on Hierarch Ling’s stern face. It seemed that even he was slapped, he wasn’t angry. On the contrary... he was glad?

...

When Su Li returned to the Su House, Su Qingtan saw Su Li being exhausted, he didn’t ask any more but let her have a good rest at once.

Mammy Li had already prepared a whole bathtub of hot water and waited for Su Li to come back.

After taking off the clothes, Su Li lazily lay in the bathtub. She closed her eyes and took a long breath. The scene under the ship in the water flashed in her mind. She felt that she still could feel the touch of their lips.

“I made promise to myself, but I didn’t keep it...”

Su Li signed and didn’t think these things. She clearly made up her mind that she would never have anything to do with him in this life. She carefully avoided any possibilities to meet Ling Li, but she couldn’t avoid him who always took the initiative to meet her, and she couldn’t avoid... that strange coincidence.

Mammy Li tidied the dirty clothes away outside the screen. She couldn’t help but feel puzzled. The clothes were a little crumpled as if they had just been washed.

At the same time, in the Ling House.

Ling Mo and Ling Xian stood aside quietly and both of them looked at the lips of Lin Li. Their master just went to a feast, and how could he hurt his lips?

“What are you looking at?”

Though Ling Li was calm enough, he couldn’t stand being stared for several minutes. He couldn’t help but raise his head and asked, “What are you looking at? Rearrange files of the First Prince, quickly.”

Ling Mo became stern at once and went to the side to burn the outdated files. Then he said, “I didn’t expect that Qu Lu of the Hongyan House comes from the Hehuan Sect and she works for the First Prince.”

“In that case, we must re-estimate the power of the First Prince.”

The heard a voice from the outside of the door, then the door of study was opened. It was Ling Qinglan. He had just come over from the residence of the Third Prince.

Ling Qinglan entered the room and folded his fan. He saw the wounds on Ling Li’s lips and felt shocked, and then he asked, “Your mouth...?”

“It’s all your fault!”

Ling Li stood up directly from the wheelchair and pointed at Ling Qing’s nose, and then he abused, “If you didn’t let me play the fool to go for Dongfang Sheng, I wouldn’t be cursed by that fool. He overturned my feast table and I had to keep smiling?!”

Although Ling Li didn’t tell them who hurt his lips, it was clearly from his words that it was the First Prince who overturned the table and caused the wounds on his lips.

“Puff!”

Ling Mo couldn’t hold himself up and burst into laughter.

Ling Xian covered her mouth and didn’t laugh out loud.

Ling Qinglan couldn’t help laughing and derided, “You are good at pretending to be fool, aren’t you? I make the best use of your ability. If it was not for your endurance for humiliation, we could not get such important information.”

Ling Li blinked and looked at Ling Mo, and then he said coldly, “Now! Run one hundred circles around the martial arts field. Don’t use your vital energy!”

Ling Mo forced a bitter smile and asked, “Why me?”

No one answered him. He gave a glance at Ling Xian who gave him a gesture of cheering up and he glimpsed Ling Qinglan who was full of encouragement for him, and then he finally walked out of the study listlessly.

When Ling Mo walked away, the rest three people all sighed with relief.

Ling Xian and Ling Qinglan thought secretly that the master finally vented his anger to someone. Poor Ling Mo.

Ling Li was also thinking that he finally muddled through...

“How about Dongfang Lang?”

Ling Li sat down and calmed himself down.

Ling Qinglan smiled and said, “It’s all right. There is no doubt that Dongfang Lang will highly praise this plan tomorrow and he will trust me even more. After all, I even took advantage of my own cousin this time.”

Ling Li looked serious. Since Ling Qinglan joined them, he always satirized Ling Li.

However, Qinglan even stitched Su Li up this time. Su Li always took her revenge. Now Ling Qinglan’s life was in her hands. He would be regretful in the future.

Su Li pondered with a smile and did not reveal a little bit of clue. After the two had a private discussion for a while, Ling Qinglan left.

Nothing happened during the night.

On the next day, dark clouds spread over the sky and it seemed to rain heavily. There were few pedestrians on the streets, and few people were willing to go out in this weather.

Mammy Li kindly prepared an umbrella for Su Li. When Su Li was going to go out with the umbrella, Su Zipei came in and said, “Second Sister, father said that the winery was not busy today and you should have a look on the boilers.” No one knew where Su Zipei went in the morning.

Su Zipei seemed to be afraid Su Qingtan who gave her several lessons before. She didn’t cause trouble to Su Li for several days. Instead, she stayed at home obediently. Only when she bought medicine for her mother, she would go out.

Today, it was not the day to buy medicine for Zhu Yan.

Su Li’s eyes were lit and she said in confusion, “Father said that I don’t need to go to the winery. How...”

Su Zipei was a little flustered and she did her best to keep calm. Then she said, “How do I know? That’s what father said. I am going to take care of my mother!”

Then Su Zipei turned around and ran to the courtyard. It seemed that she fled because she was trying to hide something.

Su Li meditated for a moment and got into the carriage. The driver looked at her confusedly. She smiled sweetly and said, “Go to the Baiwei Building.”

After about one hour and a half, the carriage stopped in front of the Baiwei Building, but it’s not deserted as Su Zipei said. People in the rainy days had nothing to do, so, more people were going out to enjoy delicacies.

Su Huanli was terribly busy and suddenly he saw Su Li come here. Then he immediately held her hands and enjoined quickly, “You just come in time. Several boilers don’t work very well. Go and have a look.”

Su Li was in a daze. Did Su Zipei really come to the Baiwei Building in the morning?Read more chapter on v ipnovel.com

Had she been too sensitive these days? Maybe she shouldn’t think too much.

After being pushed into the kitchen, Su Li actually found that several boilers were overused. Then she called several helpers to start renovation at once.

At this moment, the First Master Ma Ling sneaked into the Baiwei Building with a few servants. They looked around and didn’t find Su Li. They breathed a sigh of relief instantly. Ma Ling found a seat to sit down.

“I’ll have all the specialty dishes here. I am not short of money!”

Ma Ling stretched out his hand and put a small ingot of silver on the table. The waiter immediately went to the kitchen to place an order.

“Master, I heard that the dishes of the Baiwei Building taste good. We really want to...”

One servant came close to him and said in a low voice, and he couldn’t help but swallow hard as he said.

Ma Ling immediately knocked him on the head and scolded in a low voice, “How worthless you are. As long as the matter is done, we can get rid of the Affiliated School and become the true students of the National Academy. That one is the most outstanding person in the National Academy. It is impossible for him to deceive us.”

That servant shrank his neck. He didn’t refute any more as if he was attracted by the prospect that Ma Ling described.

“But before this, let me taste the Beggars’ Chicken. I have no chance to eat the dish in the future.”

Ma Ling chuckled and did not take action at once. After all dishes were ready and he ate and drank quite enough, he secretly took out a white sandalwood and lit it, and then he put it under the table.

Today’s wind happened to blow in the direction to the inside of the winery. Ma Ling and others tittered. The colorless and odorless smoke floated in the entire Baiwei Building. At this moment, Su Li, who was repairing the boilers in the kitchen, did not notice it at all.

Soon, there was a burst of mourning in the winery.

“Oh! My stomach hurts...”

“What’s going on? My head is so dizzy!”

“...”

Thump!

A fat man who ate several plates of the Beggars’ Chicken was suddenly foaming at the mouth. He slid down the chair and lay on the ground in a state of drastic convulsion. The other people was astonished by him.

“Don’t eat it! There’s something wrong with today’s dishes!”

“Oh, oh, oh!!”

The entire Baiwei Building was in a mess. More and more people fell down and foamed at the mouth. Some people staggered to the street and directly lay on the road in the end.

The quirky scene immediately caught the attention of the outside pedestrians. A large group of people came over in less than ten seconds.

Seeing that it was in a bad way, waiters finally shouted in a panic, “Master! Master! Something bad happened. All of our guests spat...”

Su Huanli looked at the guests lying in the hall. At this moment, he didn’t know what to do at all. The Baiwei Building had been open for several months. How could this kind of thing happen suddenly?!

Su Li, who heard the noise, immediately put aside what she was doing and rushed to the front hall. She felt shocked by what she saw. Then she came to the nearest people who just fell down and felt the pulse. She was astonished.

The person was poisoned and it was highly toxic!

With so many people poisoned, the antidote that she carried with her was not enough!

“Father, don’t hesitate. Send them to the clinic to detoxify, otherwise they will all die. We can’t afford the losses at all!”

Su Li said hurriedly and then rushed to those people with the most severe symptoms of poisoning. She took out a few silver needles that she carried with her to suppress the toxin. Su Huanli was in a state of utter stupefaction at this moment. When he heard Su Li’s words, he immediately told waiters to go to the clinic to invite doctors.

The waiters noticed that the Baiweil Building was in a tight place. If all these people died in the winery, they would share the blame. After they heard Su Huanli’s order, they immediately tried their best to push the crowd and ran wildly to the clinic.

Fortunately, the Baiwei Building was in an excellent position and was not far from the clinic. Soon, the waiters invited doctors to help.

Su Li saw them and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she suddenly glanced at the person who fell down beside the door of the Baiwei Building. With her pupils shrank, she came to the person in a hurry.

Seeing the face of the latter, Su Li pondered deeply.

He was the only son of the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ma Ling.

He was dead.
