Pei Wanyue sounded sarcastic.
Those young ladies were not fools. They instantly felt that she was talking badly about Xie Qiao intentionally.
They could not help but be vigilant against Pei Wanyue.
Nonetheless, the badmouthing was rather interesting.
Someone asked in confusion, "What do you mean by bringing a painting casually?"
Xie Qiao had attracted quite a lot of attention when she enrolled in the academy. Back then, many had been guessing whether her father would carry silver over. Never had they imagined there would be no silver. Xie Qiao had gifted a painting instead. Paintings were something elegant, and they did not match the Xie family's styles at all.
Now that Pei Wanyue had said that, could it be that something was wrong with the painting?
