The talent conference finally arrives under the watchful eyes of thousands.
In a couple of days, Qingyan had already learned everything about the so called talent conference.
Donghe's Talent Conference was not in anyway inferior to Nanchen's Hundred Flower Feast. Ultimately it was just a form of entertainment for the royalty and aristocrats.
And the cost of this entertainment was just to see what kind of person one would marry.
If married well, it was a lifetime match. If not, then they could only swallow all the bitter tears in their stomach.
But what was more meaningful than finding a good husband?
However, the her now no longer cared about a so called good husband.
The so called good husband, to look up to throughout ones whole life.
Sitting before the dressing mirror, Qingyan stared at herself in the mirror. Baizhi stood behind her brushing her hair, her skills were truly considered first rate.
"Miss, today is the talent conference, I'll fix your hair into the goddess style*."
(*TN: It's a style of hair where the hair is put into a top bun with loops of hair coming out.)
Listening to Baizhi's voice, Qingyan, unwilling to turn away her good intentions, also agreed to her suggestion.
Seeing the young girl finish fixing her hair in the mirror, Qingyan smiled.
"Miss, I've also prepared your clothes for you." Zizhu said as she entered the room with the folded clothes.
Su Jiashi prepared for Qingyan was a pink dress with teal patterns, but Qingyan didn't like this color. So she could only bring out the Liuyun silk from before and have Li Clothing Store's Liuniang make a new green colored plum blossom dress for her.
"Miss, why do you tend to like green dresses, when your skin is so nice like that?" Huangcen said pouting, as Qingyan put on the dress. "Miss, isn't the point of today's talent conference to compete in talents and fight for the spotlight?"
Qingyan watched Baizhi help her tie on the belt, and then turned around to Huangcen, "Huangcen, although today is the talent conference, it's not like you don't know my abilities, if I embarrass myself during the conference, then that would just be inexcusable."
"Miss definitely won't lose face." Qingdai, seeing Qingyan dressing up, said grinning, "Our miss is very impressive, she definitely won't lose face."
"That's right. How could miss lose face when she's that impressive." Chishao replied, agreeing with Qingdai, "Plus, I think this green dress suits miss very much!"
"I'll have Qingdai and Chishao accompany me to today's talent conference." Qingyan look to them with a faint smile on her face.
"Understood."
Qingyan, who had just finished grooming, walked up next to her bed and extended her arm. The small fox Yaoyao took the opportunity to jump into her embrace, even rubbing itself on her arm.
"Miss, don't tell me you're planning on taking Yaoyao with you today?" Zizhu look to Qingyan and curiously asked, "But Bogu Hall doesn't allow animals to be brought in."
Qingyan turned to her and gently raised her eyebrows. The corner of her lips curled into a smile, "So what? As long as it's something I want to do, there's nothing stopping me."
Seeing Qingyan's confident look, Zizhu just turned to Qingdai and Chishao and instructed them in areas they needed to be careful with.
While Huangcen on the other hand, prepared some snacks for Qingyan. Just when they were about to leave the yard, granny Ruo once again appeared before them.
Granny Ruo look to Qingyan, her eyes inevitably displaying a despised look, but Qingyan pretended to turn a blind eye to her glare.
"I wonder what granny is here for?" Qingyan look to her with a warm smile.
Granny Ruo, seeing that smile of hers, held back her glare and handed Qingyan the food case in her hand. "This is a bit of my regards, I hope miss won't mind."
Qingyan had Q
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again. But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment...
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

ingdai accept the container from granny Ruo and then replied with a smile, "Naturally I won't mind, there's no need for the concern."
"Miss, I've watched you grow up since you were small." Granny Ruo looked at Qingyan and couldn't help but to fall into past memories.
"Granny Ruo, if there's nothing else important, then I'll just go. I hope you understand." Qingyan look to granny Ruo still with a smile.
Granny Ruo lifted her head and met with Qingyan's gaze, but she instinctively shrank away. It was as if Qingyan had already seen through her every thought. That seemingly unmoving gaze, yet at times, it unconsciously would let out a cold determination.
Granny Ruo bowed at the waist to Qingyan, before turning to leave.
When she arrived at the Su Manor entrance, she saw Ning Siyao with Su Qingyuan and Chai Yiyun with Su Qingwen standing before the horse carriage. As for Su Qingting and Su Qingxue, they stood in front of a separate carriage in the distance.
Seeing Su Qingyan dressed in a simple and elegant manner, Ning Siyao wrinkled her brows, "Fourth girl, why didn't you wear a lighter color outfit? This green makes you look really old fashion."
Ning Siyao stared at Qingyan's appearance, this green outfit of hers completely showed off her mannerism. It was as if she was like that of a dignified Empress.
"Second aunt, I've usually never liked light colors. I hope second aunt would understand." Qingyan said with slightly bowed to Ning Siyao.
"Don't you usually like those vividly colored outfits the most, so why didn't you wear one today?" Chai Yiyun turn to Qingyan and sarcastically added, "Although that's right, seeing that the old madam is backing you up, that's why you dare to act so impudently."
Seeing Chai Yiyun like that, Qingdai wanted to secretly teach her a lesson, but was stopped by Qingyan. She knew that Chai Yiyun was being like this on purpose, after all, at this moment Ning Siyao is also present.
"Third aunt, what do you mean by that?" Qingyan smiled as she held Yaoyao in her arms, "I would've never thought that because second sister liked my hairpin, she would send someone to steal it."
Chai Yiyun glared at Qingyan as she coldly snorted and directly dragged Su Qingwen onto the carriage. Although Ning Siyao wasn't present at the time, she'd learned of what happened from the others. But in the end, she'd never thought that Chai Yiyun would use such dirty methods against Su Qingyan.
After slightly bowing to Ning Siyao, Qingyan also turned and got on her own carriage.
After getting on the carriage, Qingdai opened the food case. Everything that granny Ruo prepared for them were all greasy snacks, and it looked completely unappetizing.
"Heh." Chishao coldly snorted, "I'd never expected that granny Ruo would have this kind of intention, all just to harm the young miss."
"Fengqing, just throw everything away." Qingyan called out to the air, and shortly, the food case disappeared from her hands.
"Miss, why do you still have that old hag around, even though she clearly doesn't have any good intentions." Qingdai asked with a confused look.
"Qingdai, if the opportunity arises, do you think Ning Siyao would find someone to kill granny Ruo? The reason why she hasn't made her move yet is because granny Ruo is probably still useful." Qingyan look to her with a smirk on her lips.
"If that's the case, why should I dirty my own hands? When the time comes, wouldn't it be better to have Ning Siyao help us get rid of granny Ruo." As she said this, she lightly chuckled with her mouth covered.
Those that betray Su Qingyan will only have one ending, and that is to forever have their eyes shut.
Granny Ruo, you shouldn't blame me for being heartless. Who told you to touch my bottom line.
In the end, I'm quite curious as to what kind of task Ning Siyao has prepared for you.
