"Maureen, you are so kind to your daughter-in-law."
"Yes, whoever becomes your daughter-in-law will be happy in the future."
Maureen was very happy to hear others praising Ji Zhinan.
Suddenly, one of the ladies changed the subject. "We've heard that Gu Yibei found a commoner girl in China. We didn't believe it at first, after all, Gu Yibei is the only heir to the Gu family. But we didn't expect the truth to be so true."
The lady next to her continued, "Please don't say that. Maureen just said that Miss Ji is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. We have no way of knowing whether it's true or not. Why not verify it?"
The lady gathered her white shawl and her eyes fell on the white tripod piano beside her.
"Chess, calligraphy and painting may be a bit troublesome, but we have a zither. Miss Ji, are you interested in playing a piece for us?"
Ji Zhinan turned his head and glanced at the piano, his cold and distant black eyes without a trace of emotion.
She just looked at the lady who said this calmly.
Seeing that Ji Zhinan was reluctant to nod in agreement, the three ladies smiled even more deeply: "It turns out that being proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting is just a deceptive pretense."
Ji Zhinan saw all of their little thoughts clearly. She curled her lips sarcastically and turned to look at Maureen.
"Auntie." She said.
Maureen quickly agreed: "What's wrong?"
Ji Zhinan looked at her and asked seriously, "Do you want to listen to the piano?"
Maureen likes Ji Zhinan so much, needless to say, she will definitely agree.
"Okay." Ji Zhinan smiled and stood up and said, "Then I'll play a song for you."
"Okay!" Maureen's eyes lit up.
Ji Zhinan walked towards the piano holding her skirt. She sat on the stool and pressed the keyboard with both hands. Ji Zhinan closed her beautiful eyes slightly, listened carefully to the sound of the piano, and then slowly adjusted the tone. Finally, when she was sure that there was no problem, she sat up straight.
As the fingers fell, moving piano sounds immediately emerged, merging into a piece of classical music. Maureen listened attentively, with the corners of her lips raised, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
The three ladies' expressions changed. They didn't expect that this commoner could actually play the piano.
Oh, it's not uncommon to know how to play the piano; most people can do it nowadays. Being able to play is one thing, but being able to play well is another.
A maid hurried over and saw Ji Zhinan listening to music attentively. She immediately rushed to Maureen's side.
"Madam." She called out, and then told Maureen the whole story in detail.
Maureen's face was full of seriousness as she asked quietly, "Can't this matter be delayed any longer?"
"The master and the young master left early, and now you are the only one here..."
That was a big deal, and Maureen took it very seriously.
She looked at the three ladies and bowed her head apologetically: "Sorry, I have to go take care of some things at home first, please wait."
The three noble ladies spoke in succession to bid them farewell.
As soon as Maureen left, Ji Zhinan lost his backing, and the three noble ladies became much more arrogant.
Coincidentally, Ji Zhinan finished playing the last scale and ended perfectly.
The three ladies sipped their black tea elegantly. After taking a sip, one of them raised her chin slightly and spoke arrogantly.
"Done?"
Ji Zhinan glanced at her with a cold expression.
As if she didn't see her expression, the lady sat there and spoke seriously.
"I have to admit, I was a little surprised the moment you pressed the piano keys. I didn't expect you could actually play the piano."
