Chapter 17 : Hidden Talents

• "You look so scared! Just kidding! Your mouth is as sweet as honey today!" Ye Fengwan smiled.
• "Miss! You scared me to death!" Qinghe stuck out her tongue secretly.
• "Alright, it's done! Let it dry and give it to father tomorrow!" Ye Fengwan rubbed her sore shoulder.
• "Let me massage you!" Qinghe hurried over and helped her with her shoulders.
• Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Ye Fengxue walked in with a gloomy face!
• When she saw Ye Fengwan half-closed her eyes, enjoying the relaxed expression while Qinghe massaged her shoulders, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes! The dim candlelight illuminated her beautiful face, making her eyes ache!
• "Sister, have you finished writing?" Ye Fengxue asked in a sweet and affectionate tone.
• Ye Fengwan opened her bright eyes and frowned at Ye Fengxue who was approaching.
• "Let me see what sister has written." Ye Fengxue casually picked up the calligraphy paper on the table. The handwriting on it was elegant, like a woman's flowing hair, graceful and free! What's more, she had never seen this kind of calligraphy before!
• "Sister? Did you write this?" Ye Fengxue asked instinctively.
• "Why? Who do you think wrote it?" Ye Fengwan lazily sat down on a nearby chair, picked up a cup of warm tea, and took a sip.
• "No! I didn't know sister could write. I've never seen this style before. Can you tell me what it's called?" Ye Fengxue looked at her with hopeful eyes.
• Ye Fengwan frowned slightly, feeling a bit wary. Was she trying to trap her?
• "I don't know what it's called. I just wrote it randomly!" Ye Fengwan said casually.
• "Wow, you write so well even when you write randomly. Are you trying to fool me, sister? Or did you learn from a famous teacher and refuse to tell me?" Ye Fengxue looked at her with a strange expression.
• "Do you have something to say?" Ye Fengwan yawned, making it clear that she wanted to drive her away. She was tired of dealing with this hypocritical person. She was exhausted!
• "Oh, I almost forgot! Father said to give the copied women's teachings to mother!" Ye Fengxue pretended to slap her forehead.
• "Give it to her?" Ye Fengwan's expression slightly stunned.
• "Yes! You know, mother is under house arrest and has nothing to do. In addition, father is busy with official duties and naturally has no time to check the women's teachings you copied. Mother has time! So, you should give it to her!" Ye Fengxue explained.
• Conspiracy! It must be another conspiracy! Ye Fengwan could already sense it from the malicious smile on Ye Fengxue's face!
• "What? Sister, don't you want mother to see it? Or maybe you haven't copied the women's teachings enough times?" Ye Fengxue stared at her with seemingly innocent eyes.
• "Fine! Just give it to her!" Ye Fengwan said in a deep voice.
• A triumphant smile flashed in Ye Fengxue's eyes. She thought, Ye Fengwan, I've got you now!
• Qinghe took the copied women's teachings and hurriedly followed Ye Fengxue to the main wife's courtyard!
• Along the way, Ye Fengwan remained calm. She was not afraid of the main wife using any means against her. On the contrary, the more Ye Fengxue acted smug, the more it showed that she had laid her schemes and tricks bare. If she had remained silent, that would have been the time to be cautious!
• Lost in her thoughts, they had already arrived at the main wife's courtyard!
• "The young miss is here!" Qingju, who was guarding outside, saw Ye Fengwan and went in to report!
• "Come in!" The voice of the main wife could be faintly heard from inside.
• A sarcastic smile appeared on Ye Fengwan's lips as she stepped into the room.
• The main wife was wearing a water-red robe and leaning on a couch. There was a pair of mandarin ducks playing in water behind her, and she looked lazy, not even lifting her eyelids when Ye Fengwan entered.
• "Mother!" Ye Fengxue walked to her side and called her softly.
• "Hmm?" The main wife furrowed her brows and slowly opened her eyes.
• "Sister has brought the copied women's teachings for you to inspect!" Ye Fengxue said gently.
• Ye Fengwan sneered inwardly. As a concubine, the main wife actually wore the water-red robe that only the legal wife could wear. Was she trying to show off to her, the legitimate eldest daughter?
• "What did you say? She actually finished copying them?" The main wife suddenly opened her eyes wide, her face filled with disbelief!
• "Yes! She finished! I saw it with my own eyes. Sister wrote it herself! When I went, Qinghe was massaging her shoulders. She must be tired!" Ye Fengxue lowered her eyes and said.
• "Let me see it!" The main wife commanded.
• Qinghe glanced at Ye Fengwan, and seeing her nod, respectfully presented the copied women's teachings to the main wife!
• The main wife cast a contemptuous glance at Qinghe, raised her chin towards Qingju, and walked forward to take the copied women's teachings from Qinghe's hands!
• "Madam, please take a look!" Qingju said respectfully.
• The main wife took it, and when she saw the elegant handwriting, her eyes widened!
• "Did you write this?" The main wife looked at Ye Fengwan suspiciously!
• "Yes!" Ye Fengwan said calmly.
• "Not bad! Really good! Such elegant calligraphy! It's truly remarkable!" The main wife praised with narrowed eyes.
• Ye Fengwan's heart skipped a beat. The main wife actually recognized this calligraphy style? The alarm bells in her mind suddenly rang. It seemed that the main wife was indeed knowledgeable, and she had to be fully prepared to deal with her!
• "Mother, do you know this calligraphy style?" Ye Fengxue looked at the main wife in confusion.
• "Yes! There was a wandering monk in the Shangguan Mansion who could write this style. At that time, everyone was curious and asked him what this calligraphy style was called. He said it was called 'Feibai'!" The main wife explained.
• "So, sister really hides her talents?" Ye Fengxue's voice carried a hint of complaint, as if blaming her for deceiving her!
• "I didn't know how to write this style before! But one day, I had a dream. In the dream, there was a person whose face I couldn't see clearly, teaching me how to read and write. I followed along and practiced. When morning came, I followed the memory from the dream and practiced over and over again until I learned it!" Ye Fengwan said in a deep voice.
• The main wife's scrutinizing gaze fell on her face. Seeing her clear and distinct black and white eyes, she confirmed that she wasn't making up stories. She smiled and said, "That's great! I was just worried about not finding someone who could write!"
• As the main wife spoke, a hint of wariness flashed in Ye Fengwan's eyes.
• "Two days ago, your grandmother fell ill. You should know, right?" The main wife looked at her and asked.
