Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

"I can't do it. Sister knows I can't play the piano. How can I participate in the competition?" Shen Wanqing looked nervous.

"Don't be afraid. Just play the piano here the same way you usually do at home." Shen Wanru smiled and advised softly.

Seeing Shen Wanqing like this, Shen Wanru was delighted. She wanted Shen Wanqing to make a fool of herself.

"I can't........." Before she could finish her words, Shen Wanru pulled her to the center of the pavilion.

"Sister, stop making excuses and just play your best songs. Look, everyone is watching us." Shen Wanru acted as if she was thinking about her sister and pressed her shoulders hard to prevent her from leaving.

Shen Wanqing sneered in her heart, since you want to listen, then it will be as you wish.

In her previous life, Du Zhijie's departure brought Shen Wanqing endless pain. After his passing, Shen Wanqing felt like she had lost her soul, mired in deep despair. The zither music Du Zhijie loved became her only solace, and she played it tirelessly, over and over again. The sound flowed from her fingertips, carrying with it her deep longing and affection for Du Zhijie. Day after day, until her fingers bled and she was driven to near-madness. Her music had once garnered acclaim, but nothing could fill the void in her heart.

Time passed, and now Shen Wanqing stood at the piano competition stage at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Her eyes were firm and complex, and she was looking forward to letting Shen Wanru hear her piano music during the competition to see how she would react.

Shen Wanxiu had always thought that Shen Wanqing couldn't play the piano. When she saw Shen Wanqing preparing to participate in the competition, she thoughtfully took out the piano and wanted to play a song with her, while gently comforting her: "Fourth sister, don't be nervous, just play as you like."

Previously, although the song played by Shen Wanru failed to win the first prize, everyone was regretful but also full of expectations for Shen Wanqing's piano skills.

Shen Wanqing looked at the complacent Shen Wanru and slowly said, "Sister, if I play well today, I hope you can return the jade hairpin that Su gave me. It was something that originally belonged to me, but you coaxed it away and took it away."

Shen Wanru heard this and smiled contemptuously. She was sure that Shen Wanqing couldn't play the piano at all, so she said casually, "If you can get more than ten peach blossoms, I will return them to you."

A hint of determination flashed in Shen Wanqing's eyes, and she happily agreed: "Okay, it's a deal!"

After saying that, she took a deep breath, adjusted her sitting posture, placed her hands lightly on the strings, and began to play.

This time, she played "Guangling San." The piece boasted a passionate melody and a rhythmic undulation. At first, her playing was like a gentle breeze across a calm lake, soft and soothing. Gradually, the sound became more intense, like surging waves crashing against rocks, majestic and powerful. Shen Wanqing's fingers danced nimbly across the strings, each note brimming with life.

Shen Wanxiu's piano playing serves as a supplement, echoing and blending harmoniously with Shen Wanqing's piano playing.

Everyone was captivated by the beautiful music, as if transported into a whole new world. In this world, there were battlefields of war, heroic songs of grief, the pain of life and death, and the unyielding struggle against fate.

Shen Wanqing threw herself into the performance, her face sometimes showing grief and anger, and sometimes showing firm determination. Her thoughts seemed to go back to the past, those good times with Du Zhijie, those warm moments when she played the piano for him, and the pain and longing after his departure.

As the piano music progressed, the climax arrived, and the fierce melody was like a thousand horses galloping through the air, shocking everyone present. Everyone held their breath, immersed in this strong emotional impact.

The sound of the piano gradually became faster, and the sound of the flute followed closely behind.

As the performance drew to a close, the music of the zither gradually slowed down, and the sound of the flute also revealed a hint of sadness.

Shen Wanqing reluctantly flicked down the last space symbol, her fingertips trembling slightly.

She was very familiar with the sound of the flute.

That was the sound of Du Zhijie's flute.

Shen Wanqing raised her eyes and looked around, trying to find Du Zhijie, but unfortunately she didn't see the familiar figure.

Where on earth was he hiding to help her?

"I never thought that the fourth young lady's piano skills are simply superb, superb!"

There was complete silence all around, all of them were stunned by her piano playing and hadn't reacted yet.

It was a long time before someone took the lead in praising.

Shen Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled, then withdrew her hand from the piano.

Shen Wanxiu came to her senses first and clapped her hands first. "Today's piano and flute ensemble is truly a match made in heaven. I almost lost tune and missed notes several times! Fourth sister's piano music is truly something that only exists in heaven, how many times can we hear it on earth?"

"This must be Guangling Qu, it's truly magnificent and captivating!"

"Hearing this story is enough for my life!"

"That's right. Such a good song is many times better than those little love songs."

It doesn't need to be stated explicitly to know who played that romantic tune.

As for Shen Wanru, the contempt and pride on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by surprise and disbelief. She had never expected that Shen Wanqing's piano skills would be so superb.

The song ended, but the lingering sound lingered. Everyone seemed to be still immersed in the moving melody, unable to recover for a long time.

A moment later, thunderous applause and cheers broke out.

"It's wonderful! The piano music is simply amazing!"

"Miss Shen's piano skills are unparalleled!"

People threw the peach branches in their hands into the vase in front of Su Jinzhu. Soon, the vase was filled with peach branches, far more than ten branches.

Shen Wanqing slowly stood up and looked at Shen Wanru with a calm and firm gaze.

Shen Wanru's face turned very ugly. She didn't expect that her casual promise would put her in such an embarrassing situation.

"Sister, now it's time for you to fulfill your promise." Shen Wanqing said.

Shen Wanru bit her lip and said calmly, "Humph, it's just good luck."

Shen Wanqing ignored her and took the jade hairpin off her head.

"This is mine, it's finally back." Shen Wanqing held the jade hairpin tightly, tears glistening in her eyes.

Shen Wanqing's face became even uglier.

Before she could calm down, she heard Shen Wanqing continue happily: "Big sister is always busy on weekdays. I also want to go to Big sister to learn piano skills, but I am afraid of disturbing Big sister, so I have to figure it out on my own."

"is it?"

Could it be that this idiot is actually a musical genius?

Shen Wanru was so angry that her face was ferocious. She lowered her head so that no one could see the resentful expression on her face, but her slightly rising and falling shoulders betrayed her anger.

This fool, in his words and deeds, said that she didn't love her younger sister, only cared about herself, and was a selfish elder sister. What was even more infuriating was that when Shen Wanqing said these words, her eyes were full of smiles, as if what she said was insignificant.
