Chapter 52: The Maid (2)

When it came to the Guqin, the crowd started discussing again.

Shen Yue slowly went on stage. She was born delicate and graceful, and her pink clothes made her look gentle and charming. With a faint smile on her lips, she really looked like a little fairy.

She was playing “Ode to the Moon” today.

“Ode to the Moon” was an extremely difficult song. It was a song about a wanderer who missed his homeland and family in the far distance. At the beginning, it was gentle and melancholic, then it was intense and sad. In the end, it was moving.

In her previous life, Shen Yue was also in the limelight because of this song. In comparison, Shen Miao was ridiculed. Now that she thought about it, it seemed that she had always been a stepping stone for Shen Yue.

Shen Miao looked at the girl on the stage.

Shen Yue had already started. As soon as she played the Guqin, the strings seemed to have a mind of their own. The tune was ethereal and fell into the ears of everyone present. Her fingers danced on the strings like butterflies flying through a sea of flowers.

Feng Anning bit her lip. Even if she didn’t like Shen Yue, she had to admit that Shen Yue’s Guqin skills were outstanding. Compared to her performance, the song Feng Anning played earlier seemed lousy.

It was a song about family and homeland, but it made Shen Miao gradually clench her fists in anger.

Even if she was reborn, the people who had already died would not be able to revive. Wanyu and Fu Ming, her children, would never appear again. Shen Yue’s song not only didn’t comfort Shen Miao, but it made her more vengeful.

Cai Lin left his seat. He tried his best to get closer to the stage so that he could see every expression of his sweetheart. He was immersed in the beautiful sound of the Guqin when he was suddenly interrupted by someone talking.

......

“Second Miss is really unlucky. She’s never gotten second place, but Fifth Miss used some tricks to snatch her glory.” The person who spoke was a slender girl. Cai Lin recognized her as Shen Yue’s personal maid, Shuxiang. He couldn’t help but look over.

“That’s right. Besides, Fifth Miss didn’t even choose. She’s deliberately going against Second Miss,” another maid said.

“Sigh, what a pity. Second Miss is kind-hearted and has suffered a lot at home. Fifth Miss only dares to treat Second Miss like this because of her father? Second Miss is really pitiful. She prepared for so long, but the fruit was snatched away by someone else.”

“If only someone could stand up for Second Miss. For example… challenge Fifth Miss during the Challenge session.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Shuxiang interrupted her. “Everyone knows that Fifth Miss doesn’t know Guqin, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Challenging Fifth Miss is equivalent to lowering your status. I think no girls will challenge her. If the boys over there challenge her, it’ll be more satisfying to watch.”

Cai Lin looked at Shen Yue on the stage and was suddenly struck by an idea.
