Chapter 616: Using someone's weakness to force someone to do evil
Seeing that there were noble ladies and gentlemen sitting in the classroom, Lin Songyan must have registered long ago. He sat in the first row with a straight posture, like a pine crane.
I don’t know if it was Wu Qingjin’s illusion, but Lin Songyan seemed to have dressed up well and looked more elegant than before.
It is said that women dress up for themselves, and the same goes for men. Wu Qingjin felt that Lin Songyan used to be an arrogant and cold male peacock, but now he was going to spread his feathers in front of Qiao Zhizhi.
Her eyes were stung and hurt.
Qiao Zhizhi, who was lecturing on the stage, was beaming with joy, and her expression was much more lively. Despite her young age, she exuded the demeanor of a great person.
"Shushu, look, Qiao Zhizhi is doing so well now." Wu Qingjin looked at this scene and felt his heart tightened, even his breathing felt suffocated.
"The person standing there should have been you, Qingjin." Murong Shu also felt it was irritating, not just because of Wu Qingjin.
But as people of the same generation, Qiao Zhizhi is now as dazzling as the sun and the moon, while she is as humble as a star.
She also learned painting since she was a child, but her talent was mediocre, not even half as good as Wu Qingjin, let alone the now shining Qiao Zhizhi.
Now, Qiao Zhizhi is a hot topic of discussion among the nobles in the capital. Everyone is amazed at the birth of a painting genius. Before there was Princess Feiluan, and after there was Qiao Zhizhi, the Qiao family has produced a noble daughter.
Wu Qingjin looked at the classroom carefully for a while. She wanted to remember this situation because it would soon no longer exist.
By then, the huge difference in the world will make people feel so refreshed.
"Go back and get ready, it's time." She walked away.
I unconsciously reached out to stroke my hair, but found that my hand was a little stiff, not as flexible as usual.
Wu Qingjin frowned, shook his hands twice, and found that everything was back to normal, so he didn't take it to heart.
Qiao Jianer followed them until they got in a carriage and turned into a residential area.
This residential area is where the wealthy and powerful live, and the courtyards are quite large.
The carriage stopped in front of a house. These courtyards also had main and side doors, and a butler came up from the side door.
Looking at the word "Wu" on the luxurious carriage and then at the clothes of the two girls coming down, the butler was filled with awe.
There is only one Wu family in the capital, and they are a wealthy family.
The housekeeper came forward quickly and said, "It's Miss Wu. What's the matter?"
"I want to see Miss Liu." Wu Qingjin arrogantly threw a silver ingot to the housekeeper.
The butler bowed and took it with both hands. With someone of such an identity, there was no need to inform them and he brought them in directly.
"Miss, Miss Wu is here to see you."
Miss Liu also bought an oil painting and other tools from Qiao Zhizhi. She signed up for a regular class, but before it was her turn to attend class, she mixed the paints at home and tried to paint a few pictures, but she couldn't find any method to it.
She was not qualified to attend the art exhibition at Prince Guangping's Mansion. She heard that Mr. Qiao was giving demonstrations, so it would be nice if she could take a look.
Miss Liu sighed, put down her paintbrush, and decided to wait until after class in two days. She had no idea what to do now, and it would be a waste of paint and canvas.
When she heard the voice of the housekeeper outside, she was stunned for a moment. Of course she knew the Wu family, and they had an only daughter, Wu Qingjin, who was very much loved by her parents and several brothers.
But she had no friendship with the girl from the Wu family, and she usually looked down on her.
Miss Liu was puzzled, but she did not dare to delay. She came out of the house and bowed deeply.
"Miss Liu, you don't have to be so polite." Wu Qingjin held her arms and helped her up. "I've seen you at some banquets before and was impressed. I think you're a nice person, so I came to chat with you."
Miss Liu only attended small banquets, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall when she had been to the same banquet with Wu Qingjin.
She quickly guessed that the other party must have come with a purpose.
He asked the servants to prepare tea and snacks.
"Our Liu family is small, and our refreshments are simple. I hope the two young ladies will not despise them."
Wu Qingjin took a sip and found that the taste was nothing like the delicate one he usually drank. Instead, it had a hint of roughness. He frowned inadvertently, but quickly covered it up with a smile.
She put the cup down and had no intention of picking it up again.
"Miss Liu, we are both very grateful for your hospitality, but we were afraid of surprising you with our sudden visit."
"No, no, a family like ours rarely sees noble ladies like you. It really brings honor to our humble home that you are willing to come and visit." Miss Liu knew that her status was far inferior to others, so she was very humble.
"Miss Liu, please don't be shy. Then let's get straight to the point." Murong Shu smiled. "Actually, we came to see Miss Liu because we have something to ask of you. Of course, if we can succeed, we will definitely not treat you unfairly. Your life will be different because of this."
Miss Liu thought that he had indeed come, and said, "I am a nobody, and my words carry little weight. I am afraid that many things I can do will be ineffective."
"Actually, this matter is very simple. Miss Liu has signed up for Qiao Zhizhi's painting class." Wu Qingjin said.
"Yes."
"Actually, we only want you--" Wu Qingjin leaned close to Miss Liu's ear and spoke.
Qiao Jianer also put his ear closer.
After hearing this, Miss Liu opened her eyes wide: "This kind of thing, I, I'm afraid -"
She was asked to slander and frame someone, and the ones harmed were the Qiao sisters, who are currently the most discussed figures in Beijing.
"Miss Liu, please stop pretending to be nice." Murong Shu lowered his voice. "You have a half-sister, born to your aunt. You hated her for stealing all your father's love. Just three years ago, you pushed her into a pond and faked it as if she drowned. No one knows about this yet."
Miss Liu's whole body froze and her face quickly turned pale.
Wu Qingjin curled his lips and said, "Even if you are from a small family, it wouldn't cause any disturbance if it were announced. But in your own family, it would cause a huge storm. I'm afraid your father will kick you out."
"She was the one who always provoked me, humiliated me, and wronged me countless times, causing my father to be constantly disappointed in me. I endured this for years before I could no longer tolerate it." Ms. Liu's voice suddenly became hoarse, and her suppressed tone was filled with grievances.
Her eyes were red.
I thought that no one would know about it, but I never thought that this secret would be known to others.
Murong Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "Who cares? You killed someone, your own sister. This is a fact that cannot be washed away. Are you wondering why we knew about this and came after you?"
Miss Liu's body was shaking, and her lips were trembling: "Why?"
"There's a secret organization in the capital that's looking for the shady secrets of the nobles in order to trade. They're naturally not interested in your humble background, but if they're interested, they'll try their luck."
Wu Qingjin smiled, covering his mouth: "I never thought that people like you who are not worthy of being on the stage can also have such a wonderful life."
