Chapter 8 Vicious Fake Gold 7

“Since this is a gathering hosted by Miss Nan, as a guest, I naturally have no choice but to listen to the host. I had heard that the Nan family was well-mannered, and now I have seen it for myself.”

Ji Qingwei's calm and composed words surprised everyone. Nan Zhuer was so angry that her face flushed instantly. She stood up to argue, but Zhang Yuting stopped her.

The latter said with a forced smile, "Miss Ji is right. Zhu'er is still young and has been spoiled. She can't compare to Miss Ji, who grew up in a farming family and is certainly more mature and knowledgeable. Please forgive her, Miss Ji."

This was a direct stab to Ji Qingwei's heart. Normally, Ji Qingwei would have retorted, but at this moment, she subconsciously looked towards Qingyu and saw that the latter did not look unhappy, so she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Deep down, Ji Qingwei didn't want her background to be constantly mentioned. She herself was thick-skinned, but she was really afraid that Qingyu, her precious daughter, would be sad.

Thinking this, Ji Qingwei frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "I came here to admire the flowers. If you are curious about me, you can come to the Ji residence and ask our maids and nannies after this."

"Ji Qingwei, what do you mean by that? They are all my sisters, they just speak a bit directly. Why are you being so petty?" Qingyu couldn't help but say, while glaring at Ji Qingwei with dissatisfaction.

However, her face was as beautiful as a painting, and the blush at the corners of her eyes when she spoke added a touch of charm. Although she spoke in a complaining tone, it sounded like a filter on Ji Qingwei's ears, making her ten times more beautiful, and she looked at her with doting eyes.

So cute, so domineering, I really want to see her get angry.

Ji Qingwei's lips curved slightly, and the smile in her eyes was as clear as water, almost overflowing. She quickly apologized in a low voice, "It was my fault for holding a grudge. I won't say anything more. Qingyu, would you like something to eat? I heard from the people in the manor that you haven't eaten much all day."

As she spoke, worry appeared on her face, and she even considered coming to Qingyu's side. The latter immediately retorted with displeasure, "Are you spying on me?"

"I just care about you."

"You're just showing off that the Ji family is your family, aren't you? You've gone too far! What does it matter to you whether I eat or not?" Qingyu scolded relentlessly, but her voice was so sweet and soft that it sounded like she was just being coquettish, and it had no power to intimidate her.

Ji Qingwei couldn't bear to complain at all, so she could only keep explaining.

The others listened with a strange feeling.

Why does it feel a bit like... jealousy and gossip?

A group of young women began to huddle together and whisper, completely unaware that two figures had emerged from the top of the wall.

Tianyi didn't understand why his master liked to peek into the corner of the wall.

And judging from the sound—what's so interesting about a few women arguing?

Seeing his tall, handsome master peeking around in such a lewd manner, Tianyi couldn't help but remind him, "Master, this is improper!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianyi received a sharp glare from Gu Ye, who immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Gu Ye then turned his head to look again, satisfied.

This time, however, his view was blocked by a woman, and he could no longer see the beauty at all.

He was so anxious that he even considered going down and pushing people.

Ji Qingwei stood silently in front of Qingyu, blocking her path. There was some distance between them, but her movement blocked that direction.

Ji Qingwei tensed up slightly. According to the dream, Crown Prince Gu Ye should already be prying at the wall.

Thinking about what she said in her dream—that Gu Ye would look at her with new eyes—Ji Qingwei didn't believe it at all.

Because of the pearl and jade before her, she believed that as long as he saw Qingyu, that damned crown prince would definitely be captivated as well.

Ji Qingwei will not allow that to happen! No one can taint her purity!

“Miss Ji, what are you standing there for? Everyone is going to perform a talent show. I don’t think you have any talent, so why don’t you just watch from the side?” Nan Zhu’er suddenly spoke up, her words full of sarcasm.

They have just decided to perform a talent to liven up the atmosphere.

People won't compete too much. The ladies on either side are all skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and they can perform a few pieces to liven things up.

However, Nan Zhuer knew that this talent would be humiliating to Ji Qingwei, who had been in the countryside for so long, what could she possibly learn?

In an ordinary peasant family, learning even a little bit of needlework or embroidery is considered a great skill.

Thinking this, Nan Zhuer couldn't stop smiling. She gave Zhang Yuting a wink, and the latter chimed in, "Zhuer's words are too arbitrary. Why don't we let Miss Ji try it?"

The other ladies immediately chimed in with jokes, each with a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.

Qingyu smiled smugly, a flash of excitement in her eyes, as if she was waiting for Ji Qingwei to make a fool of herself.

Ji Qingwei glanced at it, her heart filled with complex emotions. This situation was almost identical to that in her dream, except that her gaze softened for a moment when it fell on Qingyu.

She knew that Qingyu was just angry and wanted to make things difficult for her.

Ji Qingwei sighed. She did want to grant Qingyu's wish. It would only cost her some reputation, but in return, she would gain Qingyu's forgiveness and happiness, so it wouldn't be a loss.

But it's not possible yet. She must gradually build momentum and strengthen herself. Otherwise, the tragedy in her dream will still be repeated in the Ji family.

"I'm fine with anything." Ji Qingwei agreed softly, her demeanor calm and composed, showing no sign of panic. This made Nan Zhuer and the others exchange glances, feeling somewhat uncertain.

Qingyu already knew this, after all, in the original plot, Ji Qingwei was not a good-for-nothing legitimate daughter. On the contrary, she was an excellent calligrapher and painter.

The original story explains that Ji Qingwei met the neighbor's tutor when she was young. The tutor was eccentric and, seeing that Ji Qingwei was quite talented, he didn't care about gender and continued to teach her until Ji Qingwei came to the Ji family.

Qingyu expressed skepticism about this explanation, saying, "System, I suspect that your so-called plot is just sophistry to pave the way for the female lead. In this day and age, scholars are highly respected by the common people. How could the teacher only be discovered by Ji Qingwei? Even the government should have records of it, but later in the plot, when the female lead's village is mentioned, it is described as 'ordinary'..."

"Tsk, this plot is terrible, no wonder my character is so stupid."

Qingyu kept complaining, which made the system so angry that it almost wanted to hit someone, but looking at this guy like this, it just couldn't bring itself to do it!

The system slapped itself in frustration.

You're so disappointing!

"A new mission has arrived: When Crown Prince Gu Ye comes out, do not hesitate to belittle Ji Qingwei and go up to Gu Ye to curry favor!" The system reluctantly issued the new mission.

Qingyu chuckled, "I get it. So this is the start of the vicious female supporting character relentlessly pursuing the male lead? I'm good at this."

System: "...You'd better watch out." It was genuinely afraid that Qingyu would snag the male lead!

"Do not worry."
