Chapter 15 The Present at School I
Bidding them farewell, Qingyan turned and got on her carriage. Granny Ruo followed next to Qingyan
and even handed her the food container in her hands.
Qingyan smiled as she accepted the food container from granny Ruo's hands, "Thank you for the
trouble, granny Ruo."
Seeing Qingyan's smiling appearance, granny Ruo thought that she was still unaware of everything
that had happened. She felt a bit happy towards Qingyan's appearance.
As the horse carriage steadily advanced, Qingyan, without even looking at the food container, called
out in a cold voice, "Fengqing."
"I'm here." Fengqing suddenly appeared outside the carriage, "What do you need from me miss?"
Qingyan extended her arm and handed him the food container, "As usual."
"I understand." Fengqing looked to Qingyan and recalled her orders from last night, "Miss, the things
you wanted will be delivered to Yingshuang residence at night."
"Good." Qingyan replied casually.
Fengqing, after glancing at Qingyan, disappeared without a trace. Qingyan was also a martial arts
practitioner herself; Fengqing's skills were definitely first class. To appear and disappear without a
trace, for some reason this reminded her of Murong Jingxuan.
"Miss, that bodyguard's martial arts sure is excellent!" Huangcen and Zizhu appeared awed by
Fengqing's skills.
"Naturally" Qingyan didn't hesitate to praise Fengqing.
"Miss, you haven't been to school in the last few days. You'll most likely fall behind on Fuzhi's
teachings." Huangcen looked to Qingyan and said in a serious tone.
"Huangcen!" Zizhu looked to her and shook her head.
Qingyan saw them eyeing each other and said with a smile, "No matter."
She'd pretty much adapted to Su Qingyan's identity by now. The previous Su Qingyan not only was bad
with assignments, but because of her arrogant and rude manner, she didn't have many friends at
school. In fact, many of the students hated her. But most importantly, Qingyan's rude and unreasonable
behavior made the other branch family children look even better.
"Miss, I didn't mean to." Huangcen looked to Qingyan in a docile manner, "I know miss doesn't like this
school."
Qingyan patted Huangcen on the shoulders and said with a resolved look, "I know you all care for me,
that why's as long as I'm here, I will protect you all."
Just when Zizhu was about to reply, the driver pulled back the curtains and called out to them, "Miss,
we've arrived."
Qingyan, with the help of Zizhu and Huangcen, got off the horse carriage. Lifting her head, she saw the
gold plated sign read 'Bogu Hall'.
Bogu Hall was the best school within Diqiu; many of Donghe's high ranking officials and noblemen all
came from here. This also made any of the government officials and aristocrats feel proud when their
children were able to enroll here. And coincidentally, Su Qingyan was also a student of Bogu Hall.
Su Qingyuan and Su Qingwen had already entered the hall. When they saw Qingyuan, a group of girls
surrounded her. One look, and you could tell that Su Qingyuan was more popular.
"Qingyuan you came." A young girl in a blue dress casually called out, "Why do I not see that foolish
and stupid fourth young miss from your family. I even heard she would come to school today."
Speaking of the children of the Su manor, the one at the top of the list was definitely Su Qingyuan, who
had outstanding conduct. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also skilled at the qin. No one at the
Hall could rival her skills. And using her appearance, she was able to socialize with ease. The amount
of guys that liked Su Qingyuan at the Hall was not in the minority. Unfortunately for them, Su Qingyuan
didn't think they were worthy; it was only one sided.
As for second place, it was definitely Su manor's legitimate daughter of the third house, the second
young miss, Su Qingwen. Although her appearance was slightly inferior, her penmanship was
discussed enthusiastically by the aristocratic children of Diqiu. Furthermore, many collected her works
at a high price.
As for Su Qingyan, she was definitely the greatest laughing stock of Bogu Hall. Not only was she not
proficient in any of the four arts*, she couldn't even understand the most basic materials. Thankfully,
the scholars that teach in Bogu Hall are all talented people. Even for someone as stupid as Su
Qingyan, they would still treat them generously. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Qingyuan, I discovered that your family's fourth miss is practically your foil. She makes you look even
better by contrast." Du Yulin had always been a straightforward person, but she also does indeed
dislike foolish and stupid people like Su Qingyan.
"Our Qingyyan is the beauty of our school" said Cui Hanqun. Cui Hanqun liking Su Qingyuan was
something every at the Hall knew, however it was unrequited.
"Why hasn't that girl come yet?" The girl in blue cried out impatiently.
She still wanted to see Su Qingyan make a fool of herself. Before, every time she came to school, she
was the object of everyone's ridicule.
"Look, that ugly girl came." Following Wang Xueyuan's voice, everyone looked towards the entrance.
They saw a young girl slowly approaching. She was wearing a green floral yunjin dress with a white
colored mink mantle draped over top.
She slowly walked over; the helm of her dress not moving an inch. Her chin was slightly lifted. Her lips
carried a faint smile, and her features tranquil and unwavering. And a pair of fox like eyes that at this
moment seemed extremely bewitching.
Her appearance currently didn't look like that of a maiden, but rather like that of a dignified empress.
The Hall gradually quiet down.
"Qingyuan, when did your little sister become this amazing?" The girl in blue said this as she elbowed
Su Qingyuan next to her.
"Pei*, what do mean amazing, she's just a lowly wench." Su Qingyuan said in contempt.
(*TN: Sound made when spitting in contempt)
"Qingyuan, I heard that your family's fourth miss lacked manners. You were both raised by the second
madam, why is there such a difference?" Du Yulin looked to Su Qingyuan and said in a loud voice.
"My mother tried her best to take care of fourth sister; who knew that fourth sister would become like
this." Su Qingyuan cast a side glance at Qingyan, her scarlet eyes filled with resentment.
"It seems big sister doesn't know what's the difference between one's own daughter and someone
else's daughter?" Qingyan raised her head and looked towards Qingyuan.
"Naturally, someone else's daughter can't be compared to one's own."
The girl in blue next to Su Qingyuan scoffed in discontent.
When Luo Yixin saw Qingyan from afar, she discovered that Su Qingyan's temperament had become
different from before. She walked up next to Su Qingyan and tugged her sleeve, "Yan'er, have you
gotten better?"
Su Qingyan turned towards Luo Yixin with a warm smile, "There's nothing wrong."
The girl before Qingyan was precisely the legitimate daughter of the main house of her maternal
grandfather's, Anguo Marquis', manor. Qingyan knew that the legitimate wife of the main house, Liu
Yueqiong, and her mother, Luo Bing, were close friends. The relationship between the two was very
good, and Luo Yixin was also her only friend at school.
"Yan'er, don't let their words get to you." Luo Yixin looked to her still with a smile; she even brought her
to her seat and sat her down.
Qingyan didn't answer Luo Yixin, instead she looked towards the crowd and smiled.
If one does not wrong me, I will not wrong them. If one wrongs me, then I will certainly end
them!
