Chapter 42 The Talent Conference I
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 hairing 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 topete 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 apany 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 nning 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 disying a despised look, but Qingyan pretended to
turn a blind eye to her re.
"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 re and handed Qingyan the food case in her
hand. "This is a bit of my regards, I hope miss won''t mind."
Qingyan had Qingdai ept 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 herspletely 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 red 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 lookedpletely 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 timees, 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 me 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.
