It was already late autumn, the weather was getting colder and colder, and as the night passed, leaves would fall in the courtyards again.

Autumn is sparse and long, and even the wind is dry and cool.

The maids were sweeping the fallen leaves outside, and even the people staying indoors could still hear the stiff sounds of the bamboo broom scratching the ground.

The thin leaves of the chrysanthemum had been beaten by the autumn frost into a thick black-green color.

The maids rubbed their hands and walked briskly towards the corridor.

Madam Li was having breakfast, she took a handkerchief to cover her mouth, and asked,

“Where is the Fourth Miss?”

The maids who were serving around her all looked a little subtle at once, and Qing Qi knelt by the table and helped Madam Li while serving the dishes, and saying,

“Fourth Miss practiced the Zither late last night, so I’m afraid she’ll have to get up a little later today.”

Zither is different from an ordinary musical instrument, the sound of the Zither is clearer albeit faint.

It was an instrument for self-entertainment, but even if the sound was faint, everyone in the same courtyard could always hear it.

Yu Qingya practiced the Zither late last night, in fact, everyone in the courtyard of the Main Household is aware of it.

Now that Madam Li had raised this matter, everyone’s a little embarrassed.

Because Yu Qingya’s practice yesterday…

Was really…

Not very good.

Even if Qing Qi wanted to praise her with her eyes closed, she still can’t find where to start.

Yu Qingya was always messing up, she was always out of tune.

There will be sharp and harsh sounds of the wrong string from time to time.

To be fair to Qing Qi, just listening to it alone is already torturous, especially when it’s accompanied by smashing sounds coming from Yu Qingya’s room everytime.

In the past, in order to please Madam Li, the maids would often close their eyes and hype up on any matter.

As long as they talked about the Fourth Miss they would constantly chatter, but today when Qing Qi mentioned about the matter of her playing the Zither, the maids in the room couldn’t speak up.

The room was awkwardly silent, and Qing Qi secretly rebuked herself for her own brainlessness.

She should have known which topic should be mentioned, and which one’s should be avoided at all cause.

She was thinking about what she should say to change the subject, when she heard a greeting coming from outside the room,

“Fourth Miss.”

Yu Qingya lifted the curtain and entered, her face was gloomy and she looked very impatient.

Now all the maidservants were even more scared to talk about such a topic.

They all shut their mouths tight, lowered their heads and looked at the floor.

Even Madam Li felt that Yu Qingya didn’t seem well, so after breakfast, Madam Li called Yu Qingya out to a stop.

She then took the initiative to bring up what happened last night,

“Fourth Miss, what were you doing yesterday, why did I hear you practicing the Zither, for an entire night?”

If she didn’t mention it, it would have been okay, but when she did, Yu Qingya’s face became even uglier.

When she got the Zither score, she was full of ambition, but only after practicing one line, did she realize that the reality was too different from her imagination.

Many people have scores in their collections, but how many of them can play all of it well?

Yu Qingya found that she was still thinking too much.

She thought that she could take Yu Qingjia’s place once she had those scores.

But now, the first draft of the famous song that was praised in the future, was in front of her eyes, yet Yu Qingya couldn’t even play two lines coherently.

Yu Qingya’s face was so ugly that she wanted to curse once again.

What the hell was Yu Qingjia thinking when she compiled those score, is this even for people to play?

When playing the piece, her fingers became extremely uncomfortable. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.She doesn’t know when to twist and turn it.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Even the finger movements jumped so much, that it was simply impossible to complete it at one go.

This is just the beginning, Yu Qingya roughly scanned the back of the score, and found that the later techniques became even more complicated.

Madam Li’s words can be said to have stepped on Yu Qingya’s sore spot.

After seeing that, Yu Qingya didn’t speak, Madam Li could only ask again,

“Why are you practicing the Zither? Yu Laojun is getting old and doesn’t like these kinds of music and sounds. read only at salmonlatte . com.

After hearing her words, Yu Qingya became even more displeased, and she spoke in an unkind tone,

“Zither music is for everyone. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Who said I wanted to practice it for Yu Laojun? Could it be that I can’t do anything else besides pleasing her?”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Madam Li’s face immediately stiffened and she hurriedly looked at the surrounding servant girls. read only at salmonlatte . com.

Madam Li was then satisfied and turned back to glare at Yu Qingya,

Madam Li’s words are very obvious, after all, Madam Yu is a musician.

She was good at singing and dancing, she’s especially lively and intelligent, even though Madam Yu was already gone for so many years, Madam Li still can not get over this hurdle. read only at salmonlatte . com.

Yu Qingya has long been tired of listening to Madam Li’s rumblings.

Even though she was her mother, Yu Qingya also can not stand Madam Li’s sulking.

After staying with her for a long time, whoever it is will feel depressed.

They would feel as if life is all doom and gloom.

Deep down, Yu Qingya actually blamed Madam Li for her own misfortunes.

It was because Madam Li always said these words of resentment in front of her.

So in her previous life, Yu Qingya made one wrong step and it just became worse and worse everytime.

Her marriage became like a mirror image of Madam Li’s.

After the system’s nudging, Yu Qingya suddenly realized how silly she was in her previous life, and how naïve and foolish it was to cling to the so-called decency of a noble family’s miss.

Where she couldn’t speak nor laugh or fight for favor.

Yu Qingya made up her mind to start a brand new life, and the first thing she had to do was to get rid of the prejudice imposed on her by Madam Li.

Perhaps the system is right, music is an art, how can it be something that only lowly people can do?

Yu Qingya responded perfunctorily and didn’t sit for long before standing up and heading out.

Madam Li saw her daughter’s absent-mindedness, she stared at Yu Qingya’s back, and couldn’t help but raise her handkerchief to wipe her tears,

“Mothers are all paying off the debts of their previous life, their children doesn’t even want to listen to their teachings, then who can understand the suffering of their hearts? Ahh… Why is my life like this….”

Yu Qingya returned to her courtyard, her emotions unconsciously became depressed and low again.

Sometimes she really felt disgusted with how her mother influenced her.

It suddenly occurred to her that Madam Yu was so lively and intelligent, well-informed and understanding, so why does her mother only prefer to complain?

Yu Qingya was startled by her own thoughts and hurriedly suppressed them.
