Fang Qingyou watched as She Yuyan nodded to Princess Neon: "Okay, I'm also looking forward to Miss Fang's Seven-Piece Art Exhibition."

In that instant, Fang Qingyou felt as if her heart was bleeding.

Are they still close friends?

Why didn't She Yuyan help her, but instead helped the Japanese princess who was hostile to her?

She Yuyan knew perfectly well that she only knew medicine and had only a slight interest in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She could play around with them, but she wouldn't be able to show off her talents.

If she were to actually display these talents when faced with ancient noble ladies who were immersed in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting all day long, she would probably be seen as a laughing stock.

She didn't care about how others looked at her, but the thought of her scheming enemies getting their revenge made her unable to feel any joy.

Fang Qingyou's eyes held a deep sorrow as she gazed intently at She Yuyan.

Is our little friendship about to capsize?

She Yuyan returned Fang Qingyou's smile with a bright smile, as if silently telling her: "Show them, show them, Qingyou, use your talent to defeat them!"

Fang Qingyou felt like vomiting blood. If she could choose how to defeat them, she would rather give them a few injections...

At this moment, Du Mengfu chimed in, "Many of us are meeting Miss Fang for the first time, but we've heard a lot about her. She's actually the famous Miss Fang from all over the capital. I've heard of Miss Fang's great name before and admire her greatly. I think she must be an extraordinary woman with exceptional talent, so I'm really looking forward to her Qiqiao Art Exhibition. I think everyone feels the same way as me, right?"

As soon as Du Mengfu finished speaking, many exclamations arose in the room, followed by many voices of agreement.

Fang Qingyou looked up at the sky with a mournful expression. Du Mengfu's move was ruthless. Now that she was being praised so highly, the fall would be even more devastating.

Fang Qingyou saw the cold expectation in the eyes of Du Mengfu, Shi Wantong, and Princess Neon, as well as the amused expressions in the eyes of Fang Qingman, Fang Qingrong, and Fang Qingtong. She was unwilling to fall down on her own.

If she falls, these people will be laughing so hard.

At this point, Fang Qingyou deliberately feigned an expression of honor and looked respectfully at Princess Neon, saying, "Princess Neon, I am truly flattered that you have chosen me as the first person to demonstrate the Seven Arts. I should certainly obey your wishes, but I dare not do so. In terms of status, there are many young ladies before me. In terms of position, I am only the fifth daughter of the Fang family, with four beautiful and intelligent older sisters ahead of me. Although I have not been back in the Fang family for long, my four older sisters treat me like their own sisters, showing me great love and care. Regardless of what others say, how could I possibly surpass these four older sisters?"

Fang Qingyou's words were very pleasing to Fang Qingman, Fang Qingrong, and Fang Qingtong.

It's rare to see this wild girl so sweet-talking.

Only Fang Qingwei frowned slightly. She didn't believe that these were Fang Qingyou's true feelings, even though her expression seemed very sincere.

At this moment, Fang Qingyou turned her gaze to She Yuyan: "Miss She, what do you think?"

Fang Qingyou appeared exceptionally gentle and sincere on the surface, but her eyes were already warning She Yuyan.

"She Yuyan, if you don't help me this time, our friendship will really be over."

She Yuyan seemed to sense the annoyance deep in Fang Qingyou's eyes. After some thought, she nodded slightly in agreement with Fang Qingyou's words. Then she said to Princess Neon, "Princess Neon, I think what Miss Fang said makes sense. So could you move her presentation order to the back? For example, could she be the last one?"

She Yuyan was genuinely frightened by Fang Qingyou's cold gaze. This was the first time she had ever seen her so angry, so she simply put her last in the order.

Thinking that this would give Fang Qingyou more time to prepare, and could be considered an apology to her, perhaps she wouldn't be so angry.

Princess Neon was naturally unwilling to postpone Fang Qingyou's performance; she was eager to see Fang Qingyou humiliated in public. However, since She Yuyan had spoken up, she would give her face.

Anyway, Fang Qingyou was bound to embarrass herself; it was just a matter of time. She might as well wait a little longer.

“Let’s do as Miss She suggests.” Princess Neon nodded to She Yuyan, then turned her gaze to Fang Qingman and the others: “I originally chose Miss Fang Wu, but Miss Fang Wu is very respectful to her older sisters. Why don’t we let the Miss Fangs give the first presentation? As for which of the Miss Fangs is willing to go first, you can all volunteer.”

Princess Neon didn't believe Fang Qingyou's words, nor did she give the opportunity to the young lady of the Fang family out of respect for Fang Qingyou; she just wanted to save face for herself.

Rather than changing the first person to be presented from Miss Fang Wu to someone else, it seems that changing it to another Miss Fang would better demonstrate that she still has a lot of authority.

Before Princess Neon could finish speaking, Fang Qingtong excitedly exclaimed, "Princess Neon, I'm willing to be the first to demonstrate the Seven Arts! I am Miss Fang Qingtong."

Fang Qingtong deliberately revealed her name so that others would remember her more easily.

Almost simultaneously, Fang Qingman stepped forward without speaking first, but her actions revealed her thoughts.

Upon seeing this, a hint of annoyance flashed in the eyes of both Fang Qingtong and Fang Qingman.

Although Fang Qingtong was unwilling to back down, she naturally did not dare to compete head-on with Fang Qingman, the legitimate daughter of the Fang family. In the past, such opportunities would not have fallen to her. Now that she was getting older and had no one to rely on, she was eager to get married, which is why she was in such a hurry.

At this moment, Princess Neon hesitated slightly, then made a new decision: "If that's the case, then Miss Fang will be the first to demonstrate, and Miss Fang the second."

This is in accordance with the order of seniority, to demonstrate one's magnanimity and fairness.

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingtong was so happy she almost shouted out.

After years of obscurity, she finally got this opportunity.

The thought of gaining a good reputation this time made Fang Qingyou seem much more adorable, even though she usually looked down on this uncouth country girl.

Fang Qingman was furious. How dare Fang Qingtong, a concubine's daughter, compete with her? However, not wanting to be outdone by Fang Qingyou's "magnanimity," she forcibly suppressed her anger.

At this moment, seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces, Fang Qingyou finally showed a genuine smile.

Therefore, Fang Qingyou winked at She Yuyan without leaving a trace, as if to tell her that she accepted her apology.
