Time Travel: The Noble Family

Yueyao was still puzzled about what was going on when Mingzhu beside her, lifting her head with pride, said, "Yueyao’s paintings are naturally exceptionally good, unmatched by others." If it weren’t for Yueyao making her swear not to speak of Mr. Yu Shan’s matter, she would have longed to make the affair between Yueyao and Mr. Yu Shan known to all under the heavens. That way, how could Mu Qinglian still have the audacity to claim the title of the foremost talented lady of the Capital City?

Yueyao glanced at Mingzhu. She had admonished Mingzhu numerous times not to publicize the fact that she could paint, yet Mingzhu was so forgetful. With two young ladies coming out to target her one after another, it wasn’t hard to guess that this was Mingzhu’s doing.

Yueyao stood up, smiled, and said, "Miss Guan flatters me. My painting skills are mediocre and fail to catch the discerning eye. As for Teacher Wen praising my natural talent in painting, that has been distorted along the way; there is no such thing." Yueyao was actually also quite puzzled, as Teacher Wen indeed had mentioned her talent in painting, but that was only said in her mansion, so why did everyone in the Capital City know about it? Whose masterpiece was this?

Guan Qiong was not willing to let Yueyao go and said, "Miss Lian, are you looking down on us, thinking we are not worthy of viewing your paintings? Otherwise, why would you brush us off like this?"

Yueyao was somewhat speechless. What was wrong with this woman? Did she have a problem with her brain? There was no enmity between the two, so why was she so insistent on pestering her? Yueyao’s lack of interpersonal skills was completely exposed here.

Lu Yanfan intervened with a smile and said, "Today the scenery is magnificent. Mingzhu, how about we take a boat out on the lake together?"

However, Guan Qiong persisted, "The sun is bright today, and the flowers in the lotus pond are in full bloom. It’s a perfect day for painting. Miss Lian, why not paint us a lotus to show us?" Guan Qiong also knew Yueyao had no backing, hence her reluctance to let Yueyao go. As for Ma’s Mansion, she did not even regard it.

At this moment, Guan Ning also jumped in and said, "Miss Lian, since you claim to have better painting and calligraphy skills than Sister Mu, you should also let everyone witness Miss Lian’s scholarly talents."

Mu Qinglian’s expression darkened slightly upon hearing this statement.

Commandery Princess Wanhe, who was on the side, noticed Mu Qinglian’s gaze and revealed a hint of a cold smile inwardly. What "foremost talented lady of the Capital City"? It was nothing but a deception.
