By afternoon, Wen Xinya already found out that the owner of Boya Pavilion had unexpectedly raised more awareness about the Heiress’ Gala. They even uploaded the interesting performances on the internet.
The personnel in charge of Boya Pavilion’s media presence even trimmed the video clip of Wen Xinya’s performances during the gala and uploaded a perfectly edited video clip of Wen Xinya appearing beautiful and graceful on the internet. It even caused an uproar in the Capital city.
The news of Wen Xinya being crowned the winner had already spread through the city.
The official website of Boya Pavilion went viral and took everyone by storm. Wen Xinya’s popularity managed to overwrite the scandalous news of Xia Ruya poisoning the food and drinks.
The decline of ancient culture caused the fine Chinese cultures to face a crisis and in the recent years, the nation’s ministry of education, as well as some legendary scholars, had all been actively promoting ancient culture. In the region of Jiangnan, the government had even set up some schools while in the North, there were various zither, Chinese chess, calligraphy, painting, and tea-brewing lessons. Even the members of the upper-class society had begun paying attention to Chinese culture.
As ancient culture weaved itself into the fabric of modern society, everyone began to pay attention to Wen Xinya’s performance of the four arts.
The Capital city was undoubtedly a city where people placed great emphasis on Chinese culture.
The video clip of Wen Xinya’s performance was circulated around all the major discussion forums of Capital city.
“Yo, yo, yo, Goddess Wen is such a ravishing beauty. She was so confident during the game of chess, so suave during the calligraphy competition, so full of elegance and rigor during the painting contest and so graceful when she was playing the zither. She exudes such refined beauty and grace. Goddess Wen is such an independent beauty!”
“Ah! Ah! The goddess is incredibly beautiful. I really despise those people who badmouth Goddess. Our goddess is so beautiful and elegant. Even if she’s not talented in the four arts, she’s still an intelligent and talented girl. She achieved a high score of 703.”
“Tsk! Tsk! I realized that Miss Wen has used her actions to put everyone down. It’s no wonder that she’s known for putting others to shame. I take my hat’s off to you, Miss Wen!”
“Once Queen shows her prowess, no one can vie with her. Those who don’t like you, can kneel before you. Let those who are out to harm you, have a taste of their own medicine. We’ll always support you.”
“Goddess Wen’s glory shines inside out and she’s full of rigor and elegance. She exudes confidence and poise; keeps a high profile but never brags about anything. She’s calm and rational and exudes a unique maturity. This is wisdom.”
Zhou Tianyu smirked and exclaimed, “Hey, our Queen Wen is here. Everyone, hurry and kneel before her!”
Ever since Wen Xinya was featured in that issue of Poise Magazine, her nickname of ‘The Queen’ had been spreading like wildfire in the city.
Everyone burst into boisterous laughter.
Xu Tongxuan stood up and bowed to Wen Xinya. “Queen, may your bliss be everlasting!”
Even Wen Xinya burst into laughter, unable to contain her amusement.
They all kept laughing.
Gu Junling yelled, “Goddess, please let your light shine on us and be with us forever. Amen!”
Wen Xinya kicked him and glowered at her friends. “Enough, you guys, cut it out! Do you know your limits?”
Ling Qingxuan continued to tease her. “You’re not allowed to scold us today. Uncultured and boorish people like us won’t know our limits.”
Zhou Tianyu was having the most fun when teasing Wen Xinya, who could no longer take it. At last, she yelled at Gu Junling, “Little Eunuch Gu, it’s time you take your wife in hand.”
Gu Junling chuckled merrily.
Zhou Tianyu almost berated Wen Xinya. She rebuked. “Since when did I become his wife? I’m clearly still single and young. Even if I become his, he has to listen to me. If he dares to get up to any male chauvinistic standards, I’ll teach him to be virtuous.”
Her skin got thicker.
In the past, Zhou Tianyu would fly into a rage at the mention of Gu Junling. Yet, she could now joke about him calmly.
Of course, it also had something to do with the progress that Zhou Tianyu and Gu Junling had made.
Xu Tongxuan laughed and said, “Gu Junling is too much of a wimp to be a male chauvinist. He’d at most last two days before succumbing to Tianyu.”
Ling Qingxuan chimed in. “How are you guys so sure that he hasn’t succumbed yet? Who knows what happens behind closed doors? Maybe he does it every day.”
Wen Xinya laughed to the extent of her stomach hurting.
Gu Junling almost kicked Ling Qingxuan. “You’re just gloating. Just you wait, it’ll be your turn soon.”
“Are you serious? Really…”
Gu Junling knew that Zhou Tianyu would be enraged if that were to go on and he would be the one being tormented. Hence, he frantically raised his hands and surrendered to beg for mercy!
Everyone knew that there may have been progress between him and Zhou Tianyu, but it was not to the extent that they could joke about it openly. Hence, they stopped when it was appropriate.
Zhou Tianyu heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Xinya, tell us about what happened yesterday. How did Xia Ruya poison someone during the gala? They didn’t mention the details on the official website of Boya Pavilion.”
Everyone was glad that Wen Xinya had won the gala. Lately, she had been receiving controversial attention and everyone also knew about the fact that she was Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter and that she was going to attend the gala. Hence, they reckoned that the gala must have been interesting.
They fervently expressed their interest in the topic.
Wen Xinya recounted everything that happened, and talked about the jimsonweed incident in detail.
Everyone was astounded.
Gu Junling said, “Xia Ruya tried to harm others but ended up harming herself. It’s her retribution. I doubt she’ll be able to have a place in Capital city from now on.”
Ling Qingxuan added, “I didn’t expect Xia Ruya to have become even more ruthless within just a few short months. If she didn’t try to harm you and clear her name, I’m sure she would have secured her position in the city soon, especially with the help of the owner.”
Xu Tongxuan sneered. “She was being a smart aleck. How silly.”
