Crying blood and tears, she pledged a poisonous vow. The gods did not fail her. She was sent back to a decade ago. The legitimate daughter of Jiang family returned from hell.
Forget it, whatever. Since they already claim...

"Why, how could the Second Jiang Miss possibly say so?" Princess Rongya was still smiling wholeheartedly, "Everyone knows that your guqin skills are unmatched. Why don't we have you play a piece for us today? Previously, when Jiang furen had become renowned throughout the capital due to her mastery of the guqin, it was such a pity that we never got the opportunity to see her. With you playing a tune today, wouldn't it be fortuitous for us to be able to see something spectacular?"
At the time, Xia Yan had been the most talented young lady in the capital. Her mastery over the guqin was truly something of perfection. Now, she had handed this guqin of hers over to Jiang Su Su, who was also renowned all over the land for her talent; this was undoubtedly decorating something that was already perfect. It wasn't that Princess Rongya wasn't envious of this. Only, she had always been crafty and shrewd, and therefore, understood that men were not fond of watching over the sinister and envious machinations of women; so if she could, why would she not try to appear more magnanimous in spirit? In addition, Jiang Su Su's talent was truly incomparable to anyone else, and with that, this year's rabbit lantern would steadily and rightfully land in her hands.
The noblewomen around them all echoed her request as some were hoping to see a lively show, some were offering some ingratiating flattery while some were truly hoping to hear her play. Wen Feifei frowned, "Indeed, she truly can play theguqin. Ruan meimei, have you heard your Second Sister play before?"
"I've not heard her before," Jiang Ruan had a smile on her face as she continued, "however, her playing ought to be heavenly to hear; the sound can't help but make one feel relaxed and refreshed."
Lin Zi Xiang merely cold snorted, "It's nothing much, just an act!"
Dong Yinger could only helplessly smile towards Jiang Ruan but Jiang Ruan did not deign to reply.
What was taking place now should be happening at the Lantern Festival in a few years, where Jiang Su Su's guqin piece had a lofty, artistic mood, which was incomparably exquisite and elegant; that had truly been an extremely eye-catching performance. Moreover, with her own sorrowful figure and manner that served as a foil to Jiang Su Su; between the two daughters of the Jiang family, one was like a pure and maidenly snow fairy, while the other seemed like muddy soil, extremely dirty. With that, such rumours were then quietly spread among all the nobility in the capital.
At this moment, Jiang Su Su was dressed in white clothes and adorned with simple yet elegant accessories- all these served to highlight that neat and elegant little face of hers, making it seem exceptionally dainty. Therefore, among the numerous young ladies present, she seemed unusually virtuous. With a smile bursting forth from her face, she said, "since everyone has agreed, then I will show my poor skills and can only hope that it will not sully everyone's ears."
