After I became a maid, I relied on fortune-telling to support the whole family of the abandoned prin

Chen Xinyu's face suddenly turned ugly: "Grandma..."

Even though she is now in such a miserable state, she is unwilling to please an old man like Xu Zhifu, but this damn old woman insists on letting her take the lead, which simply makes her angry to death!

Old Madam Chen glared at Chen Xinyu. Even after being exiled, she still thought she was the most talented woman. Besides, who in the Chen family didn't know that the title of the most talented woman was bought with money?

If the prefect is satisfied with it, it would be an honor for Chen Xinyu.

Ren Zhizhou immediately became interested, as if he had forgotten the housekeeper's death. "Come here, the prefect loves to listen to the zither, bring it here quickly."

Chen Xinyu bit her lip and bowed to Prefect Xu: "Sir, I haven't practiced the piano for a long time, so I'm a little rusty. Why don't you... why don't you ask Miss Xie to play a piece for you!"

She didn't want to have anything to do with this pot-bellied prefect. If he targeted her, she would be finished.

Such a good opportunity must of course be given to Xie Fanjin.

Xie Fanjin glanced at Chen Xinyu and rubbed her round belly. "I'm just a servant serving Xiao Yanxi. I don't have the talent of Miss Chen. You're embarrassing me."

Chen Xinyu wanted to insist, but Old Madam Chen said immediately, "What's there to worry about if you're unfamiliar with the relationship? The prefect won't laugh at you, so there's no need to refuse!"

Chen Xinyu could only ask Mrs. Chen for help, but Mrs. Chen didn't dare to look at Chen Xinyu at all.

"grandfather……"

As soon as Chen Xinyu opened her mouth, the servants brought in the piano.

Prefect Xu looked very interested: "Miss Chen, please come in."

Chen Xinyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and play the piano. It was pretty good at the beginning, and Xu Zhifu and Ren Zhizhou were a little intoxicated by it.

Suddenly there was a crisp sound and the string broke.

Chen Xinyu screamed and stood up in panic: "My little girl is rude, please forgive me, gentlemen."

Prefect Xu looked at Chen Xinyu again, then forced a smile and said, "It's okay, Miss Chen, don't panic, don't panic."

Chen Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in her seat.

A calculating look flashed in Mrs. Chen's eyes, and she quickly stood up: "My lords, although my daughter is not the most talented woman, she does have some knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why not ask her to perform a talent for you lords?"

Chen Xinxiu didn't expect that it would be his turn so soon, but fortunately.

She quickly stood up and saluted: "I'm so sorry, I accidentally injured my hand earlier, and I'm afraid I can't play the music for you gentlemen."

As she spoke, she raised her hand, revealing her bandaged fingers.

Mrs. Chen Er: "Then you can just dance, that will be fine."

Chen Xinxiu bit her lip and tried to refuse, but Madam Chen Er pinched her and said in a low voice, "If you mess it up, don't blame me for being rude!"

Chen Xinxiu's face turned grim. After a moment's thought, he said, "Why don't I go with Sixth Sister?"

Without waiting for anyone to say anything, Chen Xinyuan immediately stood up and said, "Well, then I'll show off my ugliness..."

Chen Xinyuan was happy about it. After all, she didn't want to suffer the pain of exile, and she didn't want to be taken advantage of by corrupt officials like Xiao Liuzi from time to time.

Once she finds a backer, she will kill those who bully her sooner or later.

And as for Xie Fanjin, she won't let Xie Fanjin have an easy time!

However, when two people dance, one of them must talk about the music.

Cheng Gang looked at Xiao Yanxi and said, "I've heard that Master Xiao's zither skills are unrivaled in Dongling Country. I wonder if I and the others would be honored to hear you play a piece?"

Xiao Yanxi touched his arm and said, "I was injured by an assassin a few days ago. I'd better ask someone else to play for me."

The same excuse again! Cheng Gang was so angry that he grabbed his sword and really wanted to stab Xiao Yanxi.

At this time, Qian Yuwan stood up and saluted, saying, "My Lords, I am not very talented, but I know a little bit about the art of playing the zither, so why not show me how to play it?"

Xie Fanjin was a little surprised. At this time, if any girl stepped forward, she might be taken advantage of by the two old men.

The girls in the Chen family all understood this principle, and Qian Yuwan must understand it, but at this moment Qian Yuwan took the initiative to step forward.

Xie Fanjin didn't believe that Qian Yuwan would be willing to be a concubine to an old man, so the only reason she took the initiative to step forward was to help Xiao Yanxi out of trouble.

Then why would Qian Yuwan rather risk her own life to rescue Xiao Yanxi?

The prefect became interested: "I heard that Miss Qian is also very talented. It is a blessing to be able to hear Miss Qian's music today!"

After changing to another guitar, Qian Yuwan tried the tone and then gave Chen Xinxiu and Chen Xinyuan a look.

A song of high mountains and flowing water, the melody is gentle and melodious, the lingering sound is lingering in the ears, and everyone is a little intoxicated.

The dances of Chen Xinxiu and Chen Xinyuan, however, were somewhat out of place.

Chen Xinxiu deliberately made himself look ugly and didn't want to have anything to do with Xu Zhifu and Ren Zhizhou.

Chen Xinyuan, on the other hand, had never studied anything specifically since she was a child. She tried her best to show off, but it was a bit of a publicity stunt.

Everyone was also shocked. Could it be that the young lady of the Duke of England's mansion was so useless?

Old Madam Chen and Old Man Chen felt so ashamed that they really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Therefore, Prefect Xu and Prefect Ren focused all their attention on Qian Yuwan.

Of course, Old Madam Chen was unwilling to give up. She immediately took out a packet of medicine powder from her body and stuffed it directly into Madam Chen Er's hand, and then gave Madam Chen Da a look.

The two sisters-in-law quickly understood what Old Madam Chen meant.

Madam Chen was a little panicked: "If...if we get discovered, we'll be in trouble..."

Mrs. Chen Er glared at her and said, "What are you afraid of? Even if the sky falls, we still have you two to hold it up!"

If there is really an opportunity to serve the two masters, each family must send a daughter. Now Mrs. Chen Er is racking her brains to think about how to let her daughter get close to the prefect.

Old Madam Chen handed the servant a silver ingot and said, "Bring me a pot of good tea."

The servant responded and quickly brought up a pot of good tea.

Mrs. Chen Da reached out to take it, and Mrs. Chen Er covered it with her sleeve and poured the entire packet of medicine powder directly into the teapot.

Old Madam Chen lowered her voice and said, "Find a chance to add this tea, and everything will be fine after that."

Old Madam Chen looked up, met Old Man Chen's inquiring gaze, and immediately smiled and nodded.

In the past, the Duke's Mansion would not have bothered to use such tricks, but now there is no other way.

After the song, both Prefect Xu and Prefect Ren praised Qian Yuwan very much.

Qian Yuwan saluted without saying a word: "My humble daughter is so humble."

Prefect Xu praised her, "Miss Qian is truly talented. It's a privilege to have listened to her song. It's truly memorable!"

Ren Zhizhou also agreed: "Not bad, not bad, Miss Qian was such an outstanding person, now... what a pity..."

Qian Yuwan said seriously, "As long as I can be with my family, I am willing to endure any hardship."

What she meant was that she was still going into exile with Qian Yuanqi and would not stay here.

However, everyone felt that now that they had been exiled, they had no control over anything.

If you are noticed by the two adults, there is no way to escape.

Everyone had almost finished eating and had shown off what they needed to. Xie Fanjin felt a little tired, so he yawned, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

Of course, Chen Xinyu didn't want to let Xie Fanjin go. Her biggest wish now was that Xie Fanjin would be noticed by Ren Zhizhou or Xu Zhifu, and then they would take Xie Fanjin into their room.

In this way, Xie Fanjin can't compete with her for Xiao Yanxi.

Then, Chen Xinyu stood up and said, "My Lords, Miss Xie sings well. I've had the pleasure of hearing her sing before. Why don't you let her sing for you?"

Xiao Yanxi immediately said: "I have never heard her sing, you remembered it wrongly."

Feeling Xiao Yanxi's cold gaze, Chen Xinyu bit her lip and said with a stiff upper lip, "How could I have heard it wrong? Not only did I hear it, my third sister heard it too, right, Xinxiu?"
