Transmigrating into the book: The daughter of the Shen family is too arrogant

Chapter 149 Self-recommendation

Mrs. Nan Rong couldn't help but frown when she saw Shen Qingyu appear again. Was she trying to cause trouble at the banquet again?

But at the same time, she had to admit that although the young lady of the Shen family was not stunning in appearance, she did have an innate nobility that could not be ignored.

"Madam Nanrong, please forgive Qingyu for speaking frankly. Everything in this world is interdependent and mutually exclusive. Since there is a question, there must be a way to solve it. Qingyu has also been learning painting recently, so I would like to recommend myself and give it a try."

Shen Qingyu's words quickly attracted the laughter of everyone present. Madam Nan Rong sneered, "You are a young girl who has not even reached the age of marriage, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly. You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! All the young ladies from the noble families present are well-read and talented, but none of them dare to easily say that they can solve this problem. Second Miss Shen, you are only fourteen years old, what are you trying to do!"

"Second Miss Shen, stop embarrassing yourself there and get out of here!" Wei Xue, who usually wields swords and has a loud voice, laughed at her on the spot.

After she said this, the mockery at the table became even louder.

"Sister Shen, you'd better go down. This painting was drawn by Young Master Nanrong himself. Even if you can't draw it, it's not shameful."

Although Qi Yao did not laugh at Shen Qingyu like everyone else, she still felt that Shen Qingyu was overestimating his abilities and that it would be difficult for him to finish the rest of the painting. Moreover, there was not much time left in half an hour. Even if he could paint, he would not be able to finish it in such a short time.

"I see that Miss Shen is not in her right mind today, so I won't bother with you. Su'er, take Miss Shen away."

A legitimate daughter of the Shen family has brought disgrace upon herself and has been cursed by others. If any other daughter of an aristocratic family present here had done such a ridiculous thing, who would have done such a thing?

Madam Nan Rong felt that what Shen Qingyu said was crazy and ridiculous.

Amid the contemptuous looks of the ladies and young ladies from the aristocratic families in the room, Shen Qingyu had already rushed to the front of the painting, while Su'er, the maid sent by Madam Nan Rong to restrain Shen Qingyu, was held back by the servant.

The maid whispered a few words to Su'er, who was so frightened that he turned pale and sighed with lingering fear, saying that the second young lady of the Shen family was of great importance and should not be provoked.

"Shen Qingyu, how dare you!"

Seeing that Shen Qingyu's hand was about to touch the half of the painting, Madam Nan Rong hurriedly stopped him, "Shen Qingyu, if you continue to be so presumptuous, I will not be polite to you!"

“Mrs. Nanrong, I’m very timid. If I continue to speak so loudly, I’m afraid I’ll lose my temper…”

The teacup just now is the fate, and the painting in front of me may not be able to be saved.

Everyone present had concerns, except Shen Qingyu. Even though Shen Ruyan and Shen Xitong used the Shen family as a springboard, they did not dare to really forget about the Shen family.

"Don't do that, Miss Shen, let's talk it out."

Madam Nan Rong knew very well the importance of this painting. If it was really destroyed in public, not only the master but also the old man would hold her accountable.

If the hard approach doesn't work, then the soft approach can only be used. Madam Nan Rong cursed in her heart how the Shen family could raise such a perverse young lady. It would be fine if she didn't learn the three obediences and four virtues, but you, the Shen family, should also teach her the basic etiquette. When she came to visit Nan Rong's mansion, she dared to smash cups and plates during the table. Is there such an ignorant young lady in this world?

At this moment, even the high and mighty Madam Nan Rong had given in, but Shen Qingyu's expression remained unchanged, and she was not moved at all, "Madam Nan Rong and I have nothing to say to each other."

He refused in public, not giving Mrs. Nan Rong any face.

Ah!

Amid the screams, Madam Nan Rong was so shocked by Shen Qingyu's actions that she could no longer maintain her noble and dignified demeanor as a lady from an aristocratic family, "Shen Qingyu!"

"Madam." Madam Nan Rong was on the verge of falling. Fortunately, Su'er beside her supported her, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.

Because she was unable to stop her in time, Mrs. Nan Rong watched helplessly for just a short moment as the daring Second Miss Shen picked up the inkstone, raised her hand, and spilled all the ink in the inkstone onto the painting.

The Second Miss Shen was so quick to act. She destroyed it without even blinking an eye. This was a priceless painting. Madam Nan Rong felt so painful as if a piece of flesh was dug out of her heart. The red hairpin in her hair kept shaking as she stroked her chest and gasped violently. Did the Second Miss Shen deliberately want to piss her off to death?

Just like that, a painting that was worthy of being passed down to future generations was immediately turned into a mess.

Master Nanrong's painting is ruined!

It was ruined by that stupid Miss Shen!

Those young ladies from aristocratic families could not bear the blow. When they saw that the painting drawn by the banished immortal in their hearts was destroyed by a plain-looking woman, they all screamed in shock. Some of them even had red eyes with anger. They wanted to rush forward and beat up the ignorant Miss Shen.

"Get the pen."

"Yes, Second Miss." Xiangyun obeyed.

Because Shen Qingyu had not yet reached marriage age and was not within the scope of being selected as the young lady of the Nanrong family, there was no writing brush, ink, paper, or inkstone in front of her seat. The pen that Xiangyun had just handed to Shen Qingyu was snatched from the eldest lady, Shen Xitong.

Seeing that there was no ink in front of Shen Qingyu, Xiangyun looked around and the closest place was Xiao Jinyue. Xiangyun quickly took the ink block from Xiao Jinyue.

Xiao Jinyue was so angry at this action that her whole body was shaking. It was really outrageous. Was Shen Qingyu so bold that he even dared to teach a little maid beside him to be so lawless and not take her, the fourth lady of the prefect's family, seriously!

Shen Xitong's eyes were almost popping out of her head. She knew the truth and began to feel a little uneasy. Over the past few months, the changes in her sister were really hard to understand. Even her mother said that this little bitch was not easy to deal with.

As far as she knew, Shen Qingyu knew nothing about painting except for some poetry. Even if she had been hiding in her room and learning a little in recent days, it was impossible for her to make such rapid progress all of a sudden and surpass those young ladies from aristocratic families who had studied hard for more than ten years. Could it be that she was really gifted in painting?

Not only Shen Xitong, but all the ladies and young ladies from the aristocratic families present did not believe that the Second Miss Shen could paint. They only heard that the Second Miss Shen was stupid and mediocre, and could not even read a single word. Look at her, she just splashed ink on the painting, looking so reckless, she didn't look like a talented woman who could paint at all.

Everyone was sneering at Shen Qingyu. They all looked down on her. No one believed that she could paint. They all told her to get out, lest she lose all face for the Shen family.
