Chapter 49: Bitch is not worthy of giving me advice
"Is it Lu Wenxue's doing?" Gu Ruanci figured it out in an instant.
Wu Yixuan was silent. She also suspected this, but had no evidence.
"Have you heard..."
Wen Haiyue and Chen Suyue ran over, obviously wanting to share the news as well.
Seeing Wu Yixuan's expression, they understood that this matter must have spread again.
"I heard that this music competition is more fair. Everyone is in a separate compartment, and no one is allowed to show their faces. No one knows who is next to them. If anyone reveals their identity before the results are announced, they will be eliminated. This way, the final person will be selected. When they compete with Zhou Yuqi again, the same method will be used. Everyone will only listen to their voices, without any personal feelings."
Wen Haiyue introduced the rules of the competition and felt a pang of regret.
"If Lu Wenxue hears that Yuyan was able to receive guidance from Master Qin, she will definitely be even more wary than last year and will try every possible means to stop this."
"It's useless to think about these things now. Whether Minister Lian can't protect her or doesn't want to, the result is already like this." Wu Yixuan said soberly.
Gu Ruanci agreed with this point of view. Instead of the four of them standing there feeling upset and complaining about Lian Yuyan's experience, it would be better to find a way to deal with the current situation.
"It seems that she is determined to defeat Yuyan again, and to take advantage of Yuyan's discomfort to send Zhou Yuqi to that position..." Chen Suyue sighed.
Gu Ruanci said, "Since the rules of this competition have been changed, some people who were originally outstanding and even above her will naturally stand out."
Chen Suyue glanced at her and then sighed.
"Sister Chen, what happened?"
Wu Yixuan explained to her, "Soft words, what happened to Yuyan last year might have been a surprise to everyone, and she's in trouble again this year, which is a warning. No matter who defeats her, she will always target them in the future. Her status is special, so you and I may not have to worry too much, but others do need to be concerned. After all, not everyone's father is the Prime Minister, and not everyone's father is the Duke of Shou."
Gu Ruanci understood what was meant here, but today she just didn't want to do as Lu Wenxue and Zhou Yuqi wished.
"Hey, you guys are together."
Lu Wenxue's voice was as annoying as ever.
Wu Yixuan glanced at her, but instead of making an irrational direct accusation, he bowed respectfully, "Greetings to County Lady Mingyue. There are a few fewer people around her today, only Miss Zhou is left."
Zhou Qinzhu specially picked out a very white dress, and the sunlight shone on it, making her look even more graceful and her face glowing.
"Hello, sisters... I wonder if you will be participating in the competition today? I heard that you all received guidance from Master Qin, which is a blessing that many people dream of."
Zhou Qinzhu had a harmless expression and spoke harmless words.
"Yes, you don't have this blessing. Old Qin said that he is old and bitches will bring bad luck to him." Gu Ruanciling opened his mouth without any ambiguity.
Zhou Qinzhu probably didn't expect Gu Runci to be so frank in front of these new friends, and was a little confused for a moment.
Although Wu Yixuan couldn't say such words, he felt inexplicably comfortable listening to them.
"The Princess of Chaoyang County is still as vulgar as ever."
Lu Wenxue said this with contempt. She was waiting for these people to question her about Lian Yuyan.
In the end, Gu Ruanci and the others had no such intentions at all. Instead, they said, "It seems that Princess Duan's reprimand to County Master Mingyue didn't teach her a lesson. She's still so arrogant and rude in public."
Lu Wenxue snorted coldly, but couldn't hold back, and took the initiative to say, "I heard that Lian Yuyan, the best qin player among you, had problems again this year and couldn't come here. Sigh, with her talent and the guidance of Qin Lao, she had a chance to compete with me, but now it seems as regrettable as last year. If it were me, I would just give up, stay home peacefully for a few years, find a good man to marry, what's the point of always being in the spotlight like this?"
As a result, she did not see any angry expressions on the faces of Gu Ruanci and the others. The four of them were looking at her as a joke.
"What are you looking at?" She was a little panicked.
"Nothing, I just felt that when Lady Mingyue said this, she didn't seem to consider herself a woman."
Gu Ruanci's words made Lu Wenxue feel heartbroken.
"People are different. Don't you understand that?" she said arrogantly.
"County Lady, Little Sister, the competition is about to begin, why aren't you guys getting ready yet?"
Zhou Yuqi appeared, followed by all the Zhou family members except Zhou Yuzhi.
Seeing Gu Ruanci, Zhou Zhili's face was filled with anger again.
He was extremely disappointed with his daughter.
"Hmph, what are you doing here? A wild girl who grew up in the mountains is unqualified to appreciate such elegant things. What can you understand?"
Gu Ruanci was not surprised by Zhou Zhili's attitude. They should have been enemies for a long time.
"Although this place is elegant, Lord Zhou's mouth can only make sounds that are supposed to come from the soul gate. Could it be that Mr. Zhou San gave you too much cake and you haven't digested it well?"
Zhou Zhili and Zhou Yuqi's expressions changed.
"Gu Ruanci, what do you mean?"
Zhou Yuqi was so proud that he would not allow others to question his musicality.
"Didn't Mr. Zhou Zhou boast to his family that you were the winner this time? Otherwise, how could the Zhou family leave only Zhou Yuzhi alone when the old lady was about to die, and come to this elegant place to say such vulgar things?"
Gu Ruanci has never been in a good mood towards the Zhou family.
"Boasting? Gu Ruanci, how could an ignorant girl like you understand my talent?"
"Don't make me understand. After all, the talent of licking a stepmother is not even wanted by a dog."
When Ye Lanxin heard her mention herself, she pretended to be generous and said, "Ranci is now the county lady. The misunderstanding between us can be resolved. After all, I am the elder. Even if I have to bear the stigma all the time, it doesn't matter. But you should always be careful with your words. If it gets out and people say you are rude and disrespectful, it will not only affect the Shouguo Mansion, but also the royal family."
Lu Wenxue beside him immediately perked up: "That's right, the emperor appointed you as the county lady, not to embarrass you."
Gu Ruanci smiled easily: "With County Master Mingyue here, I will definitely not lose you."
She looked at Ye Lanxin again and continued, "As for you, you don't have to always say that you are an elder and give me any advice. Although you are a marquis' wife, you don't have an imperial decree, so your rank is not as good as mine. I can advise you to stop being so humble in front of me."
The Zhou family and Lu Wenxue were about to protest, but the person in charge of this music competition, Old Qin, had already spoken from a high position: "Those participating in the competition, please immediately dress in uniform and follow the attendants to your respective compartments to wait for the competition to begin."
After that, he glanced at Gu Ruanci, and finally his gaze stopped on Zhou Yuqi next to him.
"Mr. Zhou San, as last year's champion, you come up first."
Zhou Yuqi's expression became smug again. When he passed by Gu Ruanci, he grinned and said, "Believe it or not, I'm at a level you can't even begin to look up to. I'm still the champion this time!"
