Chapter 514: Her Secret Identity Was Shockingly Exposed, Step by Step, by a Man
Everyone was dumbfounded: "...!"Young Master, what kind of strange move is this again?
Jun Ruyi was shocked: "..."
This third intervention by the Young Master, could it finally be to help her out of an awkward situation?
After all, with a small family like the Qin Family, it’s unlikely they’d have any refined artistic talents, and with the Young Master’s intelligence, he should have foreseen that.
Mrs. Nalan looked displeased: "Son, what are you doing? I’ve told you I don’t care if Xinxin knows calligraphy, I only care about her filial piety."
Nalan Ye Jue glanced at Qin Xin with a half-smile: "Haven’t you always wanted Xinghe’s autograph? Xinghe isn’t here, so if she writes something for you, it counts as filial piety."
Qin Xin looked at Nalan Ye Jue doubtfully once again.
The man’s words seemed flawless.
But it felt like something was off.
What does it mean that Xinghe isn’t here, so she helps write?
Mrs. Nalan didn’t quite catch her son’s implication, but she liked the idea: "That’s true. Xinxin, why don’t you write ’Xinghe and you, both are legends’ for me? I heard Xinghe’s autograph always includes that phrase. No matter how you write it, I’ll love it, because it’s my favorite phrase!"
Qin Xin: "...Okay."
At this point, could she still refuse to write?
Looking up again at Nalan Ye Jue’s faint smile, she had a feeling the man had set a big trap for her.
Luckily, no one at the scene had seen Xinghe in person, not even Master Mu Yun, so her little secret should still be safe and undiscovered, right?
The brush, ink, paper, and ink stone were moved to the banquet hall.
In front of all the guests, Qin Xin picked up the brush.
Qin Wenrou tiptoed to look inside; she had never heard of Qin Xin practicing calligraphy.
With Qin Xin’s foul temper, so explosive, could she calm down to practice calligraphy? Haha, she didn’t believe it.
It was probably just like the step Mrs. Nalan provided earlier—no matter how poorly she wrote it, as long as it was Mrs. Nalan’s favorite phrase, it would suffice.
Jun Ruyi didn’t believe it either.
As a daughter of the President Mansion with access to resources like Deputy Mu, a descendant of calligraphers, she barely had time to study under a master, so how could a small family like the Qin Family produce a calligraphy talent?
Calligraphy is something families like Mr. Nalan’s, with generations of heritage, can leisurely pursue and develop into an elegant hobby.
Did she really think she was a calligrapher after taking a few brush writing lessons in school?
Ha! Ridiculous!
However, before the sneer could escape her lips, Master Mu Yun exclaimed: "That brush grip is stylish!"
What?
Is there such a thing as a stylish brush grip?
Jun Ruyi’s lip twitched sharply.
Next, she fully experienced how colorful Master Mu Yun’s praises could be—
"Fantastic, this brushstroke shows she’s a master!"
"Wow, this brush movement is so imposing. Little girl, how does your brush style seem more dominant than a man’s?"
"Woah, this vertical stroke is more powerful than mine. You, you, you are..."
Master Mu Yun stammered for a few moments and then made a big move.
After Qin Xin finished writing the eight characters ’Xinghe and you, both are legends,’ he suddenly bowed to Qin Xin: "I failed to recognize true greatness, it turns out you are..."
All the guests were stunned.
Deputy Mu was observing the writing and hadn’t noticed his father’s dramatic gesture, he murmured: "Dad, Miss Qin’s writing does resemble your ancient clerical script a lot..."
Could it be that the counterfeit Jun Miss bought was actually done by Miss Qin?
Before he could voice this bold thought, Master Mu Yun sternly rebuked: "Nonsense!"
"This Miss Qin was a friend of your grandfather despite their age difference, and practiced writing together with your great-grandfather. I must address her as elder niece! You should call her grandaunt!"
"My ancient clerical script is really amateurish and didn’t grasp the true essence your great-grandfather taught."
"She, she is the real heir of ancient clerical script!"
