Chapter 286: Finding Trouble

Translator: Vesper

The crowd’s gaze turned towards Ning Meng Yao after Wei Zi Xin spoke.

Ning Meng Yao fiddled with the wineglass in her hand, she looked at Wei Zi Xin with a faint smile, there was a visible sneer at the corner of her mouth: “Why should I compete with you?”

”You do not dare compete with me, or do you not know how to play? What qualifications do you have to stand by Great General Qiao’s side if those were the case?” Wei Zi Xin said righteously.

Xiao Qi Feng and his brother looked at Wei Zi Xin in a strange manner, they saw her looking at Qiao Tian Chang with infatuation, they immediately understood that she had taken a fancy to Qiao Tian Chang for her to say such words.

Qiao Tian Chang looked at Wei Zi Xin: “A dog that catches mice, meddling in other people’s business.”

”General Qiao, you......” Wei Zi Xin’s expression changed, she never imagined that the kind intentions she showed to Qiao Tian Chang would not be reciprocated, the words he said seemed as if he had given her a vicious slap.

Qiao Tian Chang initially wanted to continue, but was stopped by Ning Meng Yao, she looked at Wei Zi Xin with a faint smile: “You mean to say, you, the second daughter of the first wife from the Right Senior Minister’s Residence, is the most suitable for Tian Chang?”

”Is that not the case?” Wei Zi Xin’s face was filled with an air of arrogance, she looked disdainfully at Ning Meng Yao.

Ning Meng Yao chuckled, there was a sneer on her face: “I did not know that the young miss of the Right Senior Minister’s Residence has no sense of shame, taking a fancy to other people’s husband,” She had embarrassed herself in front of so many people and envoys from the different empires.

Once those words were said, the whole Right Senior Minister’s Residence was dragged into this. Xiao Qi Tian said with a faint smile: “Indeed, This missy’s upbringing is really an eye-opener for me.”

Minister Wei’s expression changed, he had an awkward expression, and it was unsightly In short, it was not looking good for him.

He glared furiously at Wei Zi Xin, he never imagined Wei Zi Xin would be so bold, she had actually said such words in front of so many people.

Feng Shuo looked at Wei Zi Xin with a faint smile: “Women from Xiao Empire really live up to their reputation.”

Xiao Qi Feng’s expression changed, his gaze gradually turned cold, he looked at Wei Zi Xin with disgust.

Wei Ke Xin’s expression immediately became stiff after seeing the changes in Xiao Qi Feng’s expression, she knew Wei Zi Xin’s actions had dissatisfied Xiao Qi Feng very much, if this carried on, she would be the unlucky one in the end.

”I...... That’s not what I meant, I only wish to compete with the Great General’s wife,” Wei Zi Xin was not a fool, she knew everyone was criticizing her, especially in the eyes of the envoys of other empires, their gazes were filled with contempt, as if she was like the mud under their feet, leaving them feeling disgusted.

Ning Meng Yao looked at Wei Zi Xin indifferently as she chuckled: “Want to compete with me? But why should I compete with you?”

Wei Zi Xin was at a blank. Indeed, why should she compete with me? It was completely unnecessary.

”Are you afraid?”

”To compete with a childish person, I don’t wish to embarrass that person,” In other people’s eyes, perhaps Wei Zi Xin’s skill had already reached the point of perfection, but she was just like a child who had just begun learning how to play in Ning Meng Yao’s eyes.

Empty and without a soul.

”You...... Are you looking down on me?”

Ning Meng Yao laughed: “I am indeed belittling you, so what? The sound of your zither has no soul, how could it be considered good?”

”Come and play if you’re so capable.”

”Missy, let this bumpkin see how the zither is truly played,” Qing Xue looked at Wei Zi Xin with contempt as she said disdainfully.

To dare display her zither skills in front of the young miss, it was simply an embarrassment.

Ning Meng Yao nodded: “Bring my zither over.”

Qing Xue nodded, she placed her fingers on her lips and whistled, the crowd then saw a crimson figure appearing in front of Ning Meng Yao with a zither in its hand, that zither was a single-stringed zither.

That’s right, it was Ning Meng Yao’s favorite zither, and also her most favorite among all ancient musical instruments.

Ling Luo’s expression changed when he saw that zither, he seemed to have thought of something, and infatuation filled his eyes.

”You may go.”

”Yes.”

That crimson figure appeared and left very quickly, it caused the crowd to feel curious about Ning Meng Yao’s identity.
