Chapter 386 - 208: Zhi Yan’s confession! Zhi Ning’s pregnancy news!
Suo Lun did not press Gui Qinshu to honor the bet at the last moment, sparing her public humiliation and offering her a dignified exit by gallantly inviting her to dance with him.
Gui Qinshu breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that she no longer had to strip in public and become the laughingstock of the nobility.
However, this woman innately lacked gratitude; having just been spared by Suo Lun, she turned around, plotting her revenge.
Seeing Suo Lun still bowing and genteelly extending the dance invitation, Gui Qinshu’s beautiful eyes turned, and a plan formed in her mind.
"Suo Lun, I refuse your invitation to dance," she said with a smile. "Suo Lun, you just asked my cousin Turing Duo to dance, and she did not accept. Now you’re inviting me, and I too am refusing. Do you know why?"
Suo Lun shook his head, waiting for this woman’s superficial attack.
"Because you are unworthy," Gui Qinshu said with a cold laugh, then she pulled a maid from the crowd.
The maid’s complexion was dark, her body sturdy, and her hands were greasy from slicing venison for the guests, making her one of the lowest-ranked servants at Duke Turing’s Mansion.
"Suo Lun, she is well-matched for you; dance with her," Gui Qinshu then pushed the maidservant forcefully toward Suo Lun.
