Hearing Yun Qianyu’s offer, Lu Jia felt relieved. Although she was older than Yun Qianyu, Ye jia somehow felt that Yun Qianyu was more mature than her.
“Feather, you really have changed a lot. You’ve become smarter and more capable. Cousin is ashamed of not being so capable.”
Yun Qianyu looked at her and did not speak. Of course, Yun Qianyu could not tell Ye Jia that the old Yun Qianyu had already died and that she was someone else.
After a long pause, Yun Qianyu finally replied quietly “Cousin, growing up without a mother really forces a person to mature.”
These words resonated with Ye Jia, she knew how that felt too. Ye Jia stretched out her hand and said, “We should get along well and take care of each other too.”
“Yeah.”
As the carriage passed by the city center, Yun Qianyu could hear the lively discussions going on among the crowds.
“Did you know? It turns out that the eldest lady of the Eternal Peace Marquis’s Residence is not a worthless waste at all. She is apparently highly talented.”
“Really?”
“How could she have faked it? I heard that Miss Yun has set up a complicated chess formation. Even till now, no one could solve the puzzle. Many of the Princes were there and they all failed to solve the puzzling chess formation.”
“By the way, I’ve heard that some of the tea houses in town have also set up this formation to get people betting. If anyone can solve it, the tea house will reward them with two thousand Liang silver. The participation fee is just one hundred Liang silver though, so maybe I could give it a go.”
The people were excited while they talked about chess formations and a potential reward.
Immediately, someone asked anxiously, “Up till now, no one has solved the puzzle?”
“That’s right, no one has been able to solve it.”
“This miss Yun is really something else. She definitely has the abilities to be titled the most talented woman in Dongli state.”
“Yes, her chess skills are profound. I bet she’s also good at other things as well.”
“I wonder why she’s never shown off her skills before this? If she showed such talent, maybe his highness Xuan Prince wouldn’t have chosen Yun Qianxue, the second young miss.”
“Don’t you know? Have you forgotten about the lady boss of the Yun family?”
As soon as this person said that, the crowd nodded in agreement.
“So it seems that the eldest lady of the Yun family is really smart and knows how to hide her talents. If she hadn’t hidden her skills, how could she have escaped from the hands of Madam Liu Shi?”
“This lady is really smart.”
Hearing all these theories about herself, Yun Qianyu felt a little speechless. How could they come up with so many conclusions given only her chess skills? In fact, she had only shown her skills so that she wouldn’t embarrass herself.
Thinking about it, Yun Qianyu said to the coachman, “Drive faster.”
Yun Qianyu wasn’t interested in hearing the conspiracy theories.
