Chapter 010: Too Kind

Su Xiyun naturally had no idea that after she left, the crumpled piece of paper was immediately dug out by someone. At this moment, the paper had been cleaned up and placed in front of a person.

The person behind the table had a dark look in his eyes, making it difficult for people to see clearly. After a while, he smiled lightly and said, "Is this the poem?"

The servant standing at the lower end quickly replied, "In response to the master, I personally saw the third miss of the Bo Mansion finish reciting the poem and then take this paper, avoiding the crowd, and run out to bury it under the flower tree. There was no assistance from anyone along the way."

Why the beautiful girl would bury the good poem and why the master asked this question, he didn't know. But as a servant, as long as he did his own job well, he didn't need to ask more.

"A clever girl indeed, but perhaps too kind," murmured the man behind the table for a long time. No one answered his words, and he didn't expect anyone to. He glanced at the paper and then said expressionlessly, "Yunmo, burn it."

"Yes, I understand."

He stood up and walked out with long strides, his long robe fluttering in the wind. Looking at his back, one couldn't help but wonder how many young girls' hearts would be captivated.

When Yunmo took the paper and moved it to the candlestick, he casually glanced at it and instantly understood why the girl had destroyed the paper and why his master had said such a sentence without any context. The writing on it was actually another poem. With just a quick glance, he understood the key points.

Yunmo didn't hesitate to throw the paper into the flames.

In the flower hall at this moment, Su Xiyun had already cleaned her hands and was speaking flatteringly with others as if nothing had happened. The admiration on her face surged, but no one suspected that she was actually extremely fed up with everything. The only thing that gave her comfort was seeing the unnatural smile on Su Daiyun's face.

Su Daiyun had been staring at Sun Qian since she entered, wanting to ask Su Xiyun why she had changed the poem and whether the poem was her own creation.

This was what Su Daiyun was concerned about. If there weren't so many people around, she would definitely pull Su Xiyun aside and ask her directly.

She never expected that her third sister was actually so secretive. It was said that the third miss of the Su family was a woman without talent or virtue, but today she had surprised her. The poem showed no signs of a delicate and sentimental woman, but rather seemed like something a man would create. Or perhaps, the poem was something Su Xiyun stumbled upon unintentionally?

Su Daiyun almost immediately believed her own speculation. There was no way she could accept the fact that she was inferior to Su Xiyun. She would rather believe that the poem was something her third sister stumbled upon unintentionally, but the benefit had fallen to her.

Thinking of this, Su Daiyun smiled slightly. Regardless, Sun Qian had helped her greatly today. From now on, her title as the top female talent in the capital would probably be unmatched. All of this was thanks to her third sister.

At this moment, the literati in the neighboring courtyard were all praising the poem that Su Xiyun had just recited, and Su Daiyun's name had left an indelible mark in the hearts of every literati. As for who Su Xiyun was, no one remembered.
