The legitimate daughter is reborn and the fake Bai Lian is completely panicked
Chapter 34: Fighting for Lanterns
When Shen Mi saw the girl's hostile gaze and thought of what happened in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, he suddenly felt furious.
She felt that Wen Yue was a useful chess piece, but in the end a discarded piece.
Miss Wen Yue from the Ningyuan Marquis's family is one of the four most talented women in Yanjing City. She is proficient in poetry and songs, and even in pitching pots and archery.
However, she has always been on good terms with Shen Shu, and has a domineering personality, so she has never liked Shen Mi.
Seeing that Shen Mi also took a fancy to the Phoenix Lantern, Wen Yue slowly walked over and said sarcastically: "A wicked woman who killed her own grandfather is worthy of coming to Zui Jiang Yue?"
"Shen Mi, you don't want this lantern, do you? I saw it first."
"You are a wicked girl who was raised in the countryside. How dare you compete with us for things?"
Shen Mi turned to look at her, with a faint smile in her eyes and a hint of sarcasm.
"Miss Fourth Wen has a very bad mouth."
"I heard that on Madam Wen's birthday, when Fourth Miss Wen saw Prince Rui, she was so scared that she peed her pants. After returning home, she was beaten with thirty sticks by Madam Wen."
"I didn't expect Fourth Miss Wen to be able to walk so soon. I guess she wasn't beaten hard enough. If she doesn't learn a lesson, she won't be able to shut up."
"Shen Mi...you." Wen Yue was so angry at Shen Mi's words that she was speechless.
She snorted coldly: "Speaking of which, Mr. Zhang's death is related to you. The maids in our mansion saw it. The two of you entered the same room. You might have done something shameful."
Shen Mi taunted, "Isn't it your Ningyuan Marquis Mansion that is most responsible for the death of Young Master Zhang? After all, it was Young Master Zhang who assassinated Prince Rui in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion."
"At Madam Wen's birthday banquet, they let a man from outside into the inner house, and they also assassinated the current prince. What crime do you think the Wen family will be convicted of if the Emperor and His Majesty investigate?"
"I wonder if the Ningyuan Marquis was scolded so badly by His Majesty that Madam Wen beat you so hard that you couldn't get out of bed."
After Shen Mi finished speaking, she took Qing He's hand and walked forward, completely ignoring Wen Yue, whose face was turning purple with anger, behind them.
In a private room on the third floor of Zuiyuejiang, a man in black, dressed in noble clothes and with a bloodthirsty look on his face, was holding a teacup and watching the farce below with a slightly raised eyebrow.
His gaze fell on Shen Mi unscrupulously, and his eyes darkened.
The light that shone in with the interlaced shadows made the man's angular outline even more distinct.
The man smiled and said to Fu Ying beside him, "Bring her up to me later."
Fu Ying was slightly startled, looked at Murong Che and coughed lightly, "Fourth Master, you are not really interested in Miss Shen, are you?"
Murong Che sneered: "Who is interested in her?"
"I just think she's very interesting."
Fu Ying said helplessly: "This girl is the only one in Yanjing City who can make Fourth Master feel interesting. I'm afraid Fourth Master doesn't realize it."
He smiled and said, "Then I will wait for Miss Shen to compete with the fourth daughter of Ningyuan Marquis before I go down."
"It seems that both of them like this Phoenix Lantern at the same time."
Below, Shen Mi had already walked to the place where Wen Yue and several young masters and ladies from aristocratic families had been playing the game of tossing pots.
There were murmurs from other young masters and ladies from aristocratic families.
"Shen Mi, can you?"
"We couldn't even throw the ball into the farthest pot. You just returned to Yanjing, how can you understand throwing pots?"
The person who spoke was none other than Xiao Jue, the illegitimate son of the Minister of the Secretariat.
The Secretary of the Central Secretariat favored his concubine over his wife, doted on the child born to this concubine excessively, and raised this illegitimate son into a waste.
This bastard has deceived many girls and contracted syphilis, and he is also a dog beside Wen Yue.
Shen Mi has always looked down upon such men, so she ignored him.
Seeing that Shen Mi ignored her, Xiao Jue sneered: "Why are you pretending to be noble? Do you really think you are a fairy?"
Although he said so, his lustful eyes swept up and down Shen Mi's body, and his gaze fell on Shen Mi's slender waist.
Shen Mi's expression was calm, and she was not aware of the malicious gazes behind her.
She took out three arrows from the bamboo tube, focused her eyes on the pot at the farthest end, and stared for a moment.
The person behind him sneered: "Can you do it? You are just pretending."
Shen Mi ignored him, holding the long arrow in his hand, and threw it with force.
Three long arrows instantly broke through the air with a whistling sound, as fast as lightning, and none of them fell into the farthest pot on the opposite side.
The guests around suddenly exclaimed in surprise, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
The crowd suddenly became lively: "How is this possible? Three."
“All three went in, and they were from the same pot.”
Wen Yue rushed over and looked at the three arrows firmly in the pot in disbelief.
He was surprised and asked, "How is it possible? Shen Mi, how can you play pot tossing?"
"My pot-throwing skills have always been top-notch in Yanjing City, but I haven't even thrown the pot the farthest. You..."
Shen Mi stood up, looked at Wen Yue and said sarcastically, "First-class in Yanjing City? I'm afraid Fourth Miss Wen is exaggerating herself, right?"
"Now my arrows are in the pot, and the Phoenix Lantern is mine."
Wen Yue immediately said: "Impossible, let's compete again."
Shen Mi didn't care about that, and just said coldly: "You have no ability, but you still need other people's time to waste with you, how boring."
She brought Qinghe to the boss, looked at the couplet on the Phoenix lamp and said with a smile: "Boss, the second line of this couplet is 'The orchids surround the bricks and the fragrance condenses'."
The boss was immediately delighted when he heard this and turned around to take down the phoenix lantern.
"Miss, your answer is correct. You also won first place in the pot-tossing game. This Phoenix Lantern should be yours."
Shen Mi handed the Phoenix Lantern to Qing He: "Do you like it?"
Qing He nodded quickly: "Miss, I like it."
Shen Mi said: "This lamp is for you."
Qing He held the Phoenix Lantern in her arms and said excitedly: "Thank you, Miss. You are so kind."
Wen Yue, who was far away on the opposite side, felt very upset when she saw that the lamp she had been longing for tonight was taken away by Shen Mi and given to a lowly maid.
She was so angry that she turned to look at Xiao Jue and gave him a meaningful look.
"Xiao Jue, if you want to turn things around, you should know what to do next?"
Xiao Jue nodded: "Of course."
Wen Yue stared at Shen Mi fiercely with a fierce look, took out an arrow from the bamboo tube, and picked up a longbow beside him and held it in his hand.
"Shen Mi, stop right there. If you have the guts, let's compete again!"
Shen Mi said: "The Phoenix Lamp is already mine, there is no need to waste time here."
"If Miss Wen wants to compete, then we can do it at the Qionghua Banquet."
"I heard that if you can win the first prize at the Qionghua Banquet, His Majesty will reward you with a lot of things. By then, I believe Miss Wen will live up to everyone's expectations and win the first prize."
"I'm sorry I won't keep you company."
After Shen Mi finished speaking, she pulled Qing He and prepared to leave Zui Jiang Yue.
Just as she took two steps out, a long arrow suddenly shot towards her from the direction of Wen Yue, streaked across her nose, and pierced through her purple veil, causing it to fall to the ground.
Shen Mi turned around suddenly and saw Wen Yue said proudly: "I'm so sorry, I wanted to shoot the lantern opposite you, but I didn't expect to shoot your veil instead."
"However, Miss Shen's face is beautiful, and men will definitely like her."
Shen Mi's face was calm. He bent over, picked up the arrow on the ground and held it in his hand.
She looked at Wen Yue with a serious look and sneered.
"Miss Wen is a talented lady from Yanjing City. I think everyone present will be very curious about Miss Wen's..."
He swung the arrow in his hand suddenly, as fast as lightning.
The arrow pierced her shoulder, tearing through her clothes and revealing her snow-white shoulders.
Wen Yue immediately put her hands over her shoulders.
"Shen Mi, you bitch!"
Shen Mi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I didn't expect that Fourth Miss Wen has such delicate skin. The gentlemen present will like her very much."
Wen Yue covered her shoulders tightly and looked at the eyes cast towards her from all around. She suddenly felt ashamed.
The personal maid immediately brought a cloak and put it on her.
Wen Yue glared at Shen Mi fiercely and said angrily: "Shen Mi, you bitch, just wait!"
Shen Mi walked to the wooden barrel with an expressionless face, pulled out an arrow, held it in his hand, and hurried away with Qinghe.
As soon as he walked out of Zuiyuejiang's door, his face suddenly changed.
She said, "Qinghe, go find Yunlan right now. I'll go wait for her in the carriage first. We need to go back early."
“I always feel that something is strange today.”
Qing He held the lantern and asked worriedly, "Miss, do you want me to go with you?"
Shen Mi: "No need, go find Yunlan, Yunlan knows martial arts, go quickly and come back quickly. If you can't find her, forget it, just come back, we have to go back first."
Qing He nodded: "Miss, then you should be careful. I will go find Sister Yunlan and meet you as soon as possible."
"kindness."
