My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

Chapter 222 Seducing Mr. Bi

Chapter 222 Seducing Mr. Bi

Governor Bi directly supervised local officials, holding a higher rank than the prefect. Despite this, the governor generally stayed out of local affairs unless a local official committed a serious offense. Why would Bi intervene in a minor case like Si Muyan's, where there was both witnesses and evidence, and the official had already confessed and was ready to face the punishment?

My younger sister came prepared and said, "I've asked around. Lord Bi is over forty years old and has only one wife and one concubine. They live in harmony in the backyard. He always brings his family with him wherever he goes, and he personally raises his children. A man like that must have good character."

Luo Tongpan looked at his younger sister for a long time without saying a word. He was extremely shocked, even more shocked than when he thought his younger sister was going to be his concubine, the concubine of the prefect.

He also suddenly realized that Si Jingyu, this little sister, was not the clever kid he had thought she was. This little girl knew she was pretty and knew how to make herself more attractive. Even now that she had grown up, she knew how to control her charm.

My younger sister raised her head and looked at Judge Luo Tong, her eyes full of determination: "Sir, do you think that Master Bi would like me?"

It was clearly a determined look, but it was also seductive, and there was a resolute sadness in her brows.

She was so smart that she chose the person she thought she could rely on the most and who was most likely to save her sister.

Pan Pan Luo felt that he should refuse, as this girl deserved a different life. But when he saw how soft and tough she was, he nodded for some unknown reason.

It just so happened that in a previous case, Pan Pan Luo handled it inappropriately, which was pointed out in time by Lord Bi. Pan Pan Luo simply took this opportunity to invite Lord Bi to a banquet, and the location was on the flower boat on the Donghe River on the third night.

Lord Bi went to the appointment and looked at this scene, his eyes moved slightly.

The attendant beside him whispered, "I heard that this Luo Tongpan was promoted because of his meritorious service. He has only been in Lingnan City for a few years, so his foundation is not very solid, but he has always acted prudently."

Someone who acts properly is being thanked in such a big way for such a small matter?

Lord Bi's expression dimmed a little, and he guessed that this Tongpan knew that it would be extremely difficult to advance without a backing, so he wanted to come and test the waters?

But he was destined to be disappointed.

Lord Bi entered the cabin, untied his outer coat and sat down. There was not much smile in his eyes when he looked at Judge Luo.

Judge Luo Tong saw it, but didn't care much. He asked Mr. Bi to sit down, said a lot of flattering words, and then just invited him to have some wine.

Amidst the sounds of music, singing and dancing, Lord Bi chuckled softly, "Such fine wine, I imagine Lord Luo has treasured it for a long time."

Judge Luo Tong shook his head. "Sir, this is not my wine. While on duty in the county, I met a nobleman in dire straits. We had a very good relationship, but unfortunately, young talents often die young. This wine was a gift from his family."

Lord Bi thought he was talking about how hard it was to get the wine, so he turned around and looked at the musician. He said calmly, "Tongpan... Lord Luo, how high do you think you can go with your ability?"

Judge Luo Tong replied, "Your Excellency, I believe I lack the ability to reach this point, and it's only through the favor of my superiors that I've been able to reach this point. Furthermore, I have no grand ambitions. I have a virtuous wife at home, and two talented children in my family are still immature. I simply wish to remain in Lingnan City and raise my children."

"Oh?" Lord Bi asked directly, "Lord Luo is being so grand today, is it really just to thank me?"

Judge Luo Tong quickly stood up and respectfully offered another glass of wine: "Sir, I dare not hide anything from you. I only ask you to watch a dance and then tell me in detail."

After saying that, they clapped their hands, and the performers stopped and filed out. Soon, the sound of stringed instruments was heard again, and soon a group of dancers came in. Each of them had a graceful figure and danced gracefully, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Bi Daren watched the scene leisurely. He was the governor, and wherever he served, local officials were always polite to him. He had seen all kinds of scenes. He had seen many beautiful and charming kabuki actors, and he was not Liu Xiahui, so he had seen a lot and was exposed to them.

But those who knew him well knew that, while he wasn't averse to women, he never took anyone into his household. He had one wife and one concubine, who came with his wife as part of her dowry, helping him manage household affairs and raise children. He enjoyed this harmonious life and never entertained any extraneous thoughts.

So Lord Luo hasn't understood him yet, or he just doesn't believe in evil?

The woman in the lead didn't seem particularly flexible, nor did she seem particularly skilled. However, her face was incredibly beautiful, and while it could have been a look of either sorrow or joy, it held a certain firmness.

Yes, it’s still very purposeful and resolute.

Even though he knew that this person was presented by Lord Luo, perhaps because of the company of good wine and beautiful women, Lord Bi still felt that his heartstrings were touched.

He squinted his eyes, not making any unnecessary movements. Seeing the dancer's eyes, from initial determination to gradual disappointment, he actually felt a little amused.

After the song ended, the dancer let out a breath, knelt down to pay her respects and was about to leave.

Judge Luo Tong couldn't help but shout, "Master Bi?"

Lord Bi curled his lips into a smile, and the hand holding the wine glass paused. Then he thought of something and beckoned, "You, come here and pour me some wine."

My younger sister was delighted and quickly bowed and stood up to pour wine for Master Bi. Her hands were trembling a little, and she was very careful, but she still accidentally spilled the wine.

Lord Bi stretched out his hand, as if to hold the wine glass, or as if to hold her hand, but when his hand got close, he stopped moving.

He was like prey, and all his movements made my little sister nervous.

Suddenly, I felt a surge of regret. Did I think I could seduce those scholars and make the men in the food shop fall for me with just a smile? But how could this gentleman, who clearly had feelings for me, remain so indifferent?

Compared with this old guy, her tricks are really not good enough.

The little sister bit her lower lip, looked at Lord Bi pitifully, and called him "Lord" softly. After that, she seemed to be exhausted and was about to fall on Lord Bi.

But Master Bi refused to accept such a gentle offer and said sternly, "Tell me what you want, otherwise, today I will let you know how you died."

My little sister trembled, her face full of panic, and she knelt beside Master Bi.

Lord Luo also knelt down and said, "Sir, I and she have absolutely no intention of harming anyone."

Master Bi slowly stroked the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and then said, "Do you think that if you had the intention to harm me, she would still be kneeling here?"
