Wan Ge knew that the girl was the female lead, the girl Qin Shu truly liked, and that Qin Shu was currently hiding at her house.
Xiao Mingyue hid Qin Shu very well; even her parents didn't know.
Xiao Mingyue heard that her father was coming to the Qin family, and she really wanted to meet Qin Shu's former fiancée.
Qin Shu had already been completely honest with her, so Xiao Mingyue wanted to see that girl. She wondered... how that girl was doing now?
Xiao Mingyue knew that what she was doing was wrong, but Qin Shu had not married her and would not marry her. It was arranged by his parents, not because he truly loved her.
Xiao Mingyue only accepted Qin Shu after confirming that Qin Shu had absolutely no relationship with her other than the marriage arranged by their parents.
She heard that Wan Ge was with Madam Qin, so she made an excuse and went there.
…
When Xiao Mingyue stepped into Madam Qin's courtyard, she saw Wan Ge sitting there.
The weather has been quite cool these past few days. Wan Ge is wearing a long-sleeved cheongsam with a small shawl, her hair is slightly tied up, and a few strands of hair fall across her forehead.
At this moment, she was in the courtyard with Madam Qin. There was a guqin in the courtyard, and the girl's slender fingers touched the strings. The sound of the guqin was clear, cold, and ethereal, ever-changing.
She had imagined many times what her rival in love would be like, but she never imagined that her rival would be like a fairy descended from heaven.
The woman sitting in the light, playing the zither, was unrealistically beautiful. She was even more beautiful than the women in the most exquisite paintings Xiao Mingyue had ever seen.
Although Xiao Mingyue has learned a lot about foreign cultures and has been influenced by them, she is not someone who forgets her country. She is also well aware that there are many things that need to be abandoned now, but the many beautiful things left by her ancestors should also be cherished.
She didn't know how to describe the woman playing the zither not far away. She was like an extremely classical beauty. Not to mention the past, even hundreds of years later, she would definitely be stunning. This kind of beauty is something that everyone, regardless of whether they understand their traditional culture, can see.
Xiao Mingyue felt that just standing there, she was incomparable. She suddenly didn't understand why Qin Shu would choose her instead of her.
Even someone who deeply admires foreign cultures would find it hard to resist such a classical beauty.
For a fleeting moment, Xiao Mingyue even thought that if she were a man, she would definitely not be able to refuse her.
Wan Ge sensed Xiao Mingyue's gaze, then slightly tilted her head and looked at her.
Just as the song ended, Wan Ge withdrew her hand. Madam Qin also looked towards the door and saw a very pretty and stylish girl.
The other person was wearing a little dress, just like a little princess, with delicate features that even resembled a doll.
Xiao Mingyue obediently went inside and sweetly called out "Auntie." Then her gaze fell on Wan Ge.
Madam Qin had seen Xiao Mingyue when she was young, but she hadn't seen her for a long time since she was sent away by her family to study.
Only after she said that did Madam Qin remember who he was. Then, noticing that she was looking at her daughter-in-law, she gently said, "Mingyue, this is Wan Ge. She is the daughter of our good friend, and she is also a talented woman."
