Chapter 141 Support
Mrs. Wu looked at Princess Xinyi in astonishment. It was obvious that she didn't know the princess and she didn't expect that the princess would say such a thing.
Princess Xinyi didn't care about her. She looked at Liu Yu who was kneeling down and paying homage to her, not caring whether Liu Yu was embarrassed or not.
She looks like a vixen, which makes people feel uncomfortable just by looking at her.
"Speak up, Mr. Chen San is a rare talent. Where do you get the confidence to stand here as the wife of Lord Chen?" Princess Xinyi continued to attack.
Mrs. Wu looked at Liu Yu nervously. What would Liu Yu do?
If the answer is not good, it will bring shame to the Chen family.
Whether it was for watching Liu Yu being humiliated or for the Chen family.
They all wanted to stop Princess Xinyi from making trouble. After thinking for a moment, when no one was paying attention, Wu whispered to the little maid beside her:
"Go to the men's area and ask the third master to come over. The sooner the better."
The old lady will not attend the banquet. Distant water cannot quench nearby fire. The third brother, who is also in Xiangheyuan, is the best choice.
Princess Xinyi stood up from the stool in dissatisfaction, walked to Liu Yu, and lifted Liu Yu's chin with her sharp nails:
"Why don't you say anything? If you can't answer me to my satisfaction today, then don't get up. Just kneel there!"
Those present who knew Princess Xinyi were secretly thinking that if nothing unexpected happened, the new third wife of the Chen family would be in real trouble. Princess Xinyi would never let you off easily when she made trouble. She would not let you off until you had completely lost your dignity.
They looked at Liu Yu's miserable appearance and felt sympathy for him. Although they felt a little sympathetic in their hearts, they looked excited on the surface.
Liu Yu looks so delicate and weak. There is no way she can be a match for Princess Xinyi. She will cry soon.
"What kind of confidence do you think is necessary to be a good match for the Third Master? Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, poetry, etiquette and rules?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Yu avoided Princess Xinyi's hand that was pinching her chin and stood up. Not only was she not afraid, but she also looked straight ahead and met Princess Xinyi's gaze, and even boldly asked the princess a question.
Princess Xinyi didn't expect Liu Yu to be so bold as to ask her back,
His expression froze for a moment, but he reacted immediately, squinting at her, his voice filled with anger: "Since you have said all this, in order to avoid people thinking that this princess is unreasonable and not making things difficult for you, I will pick one person, and based on what you said, we will have a competition. If you win, I will acknowledge that you are the elder Chen, and you are qualified to stand beside him."
Princess Xinyi looked as if she was being gracious, and everyone gasped. Is that all?
These twelve simple words are something a woman can never learn in her entire life.
Everything has its shortcomings and everyone has their strengths. Even though the capital is full of talented people, there is no such noble lady.
wrong,
As they were thinking about it, everyone thought of someone. They all looked at Zhang Mengdie, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister. This person should be very close.
Among the eleven talents, including singing, dancing, poetry, etiquette, rules, chess, calligraphy and painting, Zhang Mengdie only lacks in chess. However, in everyone's opinion, this is already close to perfect. No one can master all of them. Anyway, they have never seen such a person in their lives and will never believe that such an omnipotent person exists.
Everyone thought of a possibility and suddenly looked at Princess Xinyi.
No way! No way!
Princess Xinyi will let Zhang Mengdie participate, right? As expected, Princess Xinyi raised her finger and pointed at Zhang Mengdie, asking Liu Yu:
"Do you dare to compete with her?"
Liu Yu turned her head and saw that Zhang Mengdie didn't even look at her. That was ignoring her, which was more insulting than looking down on her.
In her previous life, Zhang Mengdie regarded herself as the best in the capital. It was said that she was an expert in both talent and virtue and there was nothing she couldn't do.
She is indeed a tough opponent, but not to the point that Liu Yu is afraid to compete. Someone once said that if she really competed with Zhang Mengdie, she would not lose.
"Why don't you dare."
"Good, you have courage." Just because of Liu Yu's fearless courage, Princess Xinyi felt less hostile towards Liu Yu.
She turned around and asked Zhang Mengdie: "Are you willing?"
"Of course I'm willing," Zhang Mengdie had no objection.
She came to Chen Xiyao's birthday party today just to make Chen Xiyao unhappy. She would definitely get revenge on anyone who dared to humiliate Feng Huan and set a trap for Feng Huan.
Then let’s start with this ignorant person!
Princess Xinyi was quite satisfied and immediately made the decision, saying to Wu:
"You go and arrange the venue. This county lord will personally supervise their competition."
Wu was very dissatisfied with Liu Yu's acceptance. She knew what kind of life Liu Yu had in Pingnanhe Mansion. It was good enough for him to have enough food and drink and grow up safely. How could she teach Liu Yu various talents such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting?
Liu Yu probably didn't know how talented Zhang Mengdie was. Wu wanted to remind him, but under the majesty of Princess Xinyi, she had to give up. She sighed, turned around and left the house to arrange the things the princess had asked her to do.
At this time, someone said:
"Princess, since this is a talent contest, how about I add some excitement?"
The person who read Princess Xinyi's fortune and spoke to her was the mistress of the Zhang family.
Princess Xinyi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay. By the way, we can also set rewards and punishments. The winner can take all the prizes, and the loser will ask to leave the Chen Mansion. Is that okay?" She was looking at Liu Yu when she said this.
Liu Yu nodded: "I have no objection, but what if Miss Zhang loses?"
Princess Xinyi laughed as if she had heard a huge joke:
"Hey, you ignorant woman, you want to win over Zhang Mengdie? Do you know that she is the most talented woman in the capital, recognized by my uncle?"
"I don't know. There are winners and losers. Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it either. The princess, please tell me what punishment Miss Zhang will receive if she loses."
Liu Yu asked straightforwardly.
"If I lose, you can do whatever you want." Zhang Mengdie said confidently:
"You can't possibly beat me."
Seeing Zhang Mengdie's confident look, Princess Xinyi said to Liu Yu:
"If you can really win, this princess will also promise you a condition."
"Okay." Liu Yu agreed without any hesitation and asked:
“Do I need to add a promise?”
Zhang Mengdie and Princess Xinyi both looked disdainful.
Everyone thinks Liu Yu is crazy. Does Lord Chen know?
"Yu'er's promise is my, Chen Zhihe's promise."
Just then, a voice was heard outside the house, and then Mr. Chen San walked in. He stood beside Liu Yu, as if he wanted to protect her under his wings.
Although Zhang Mengdie had just been dismissive of Liu Yu's promise, at this moment, his eyes lit up.
She did not forget that some time ago, her grandfather praised Master Chen San in the study, saying that Master Chen San's achievements would definitely surpass hers in the future.
"Okay, it's settled."
