This time Zhou YunSheng took more than ten days to recover from his wound. During this time OuYang Ya'Er came to visit him a few times however she didn't get to close again. She just stared at him afar with a longing gaze. She had inherited her mother's cleverness so how could she not see the changes that had overcome OuYang MingYue? She knew that OuYang MingYue had grown up in the countryside and definitely had a lot of negative feelings towards her family. The little fox was her pet so if she forcibly stole it, then there was a chance that OuYang MingYue would give her a corpse. That wouldn't be good.

Every day the two sisters tested each other and secretly tried make trouble for each other. In this way, the time for the Hundred Flower Festival came. Because she had been hidden in the countryside, the eldest daughter OuYang MingYue had never shown her face to the outside world. So she needed to use this opportunity to create a name for herself in order to firmly establish herself in the future.

She put on makeup carefully which made her look delicate and feminine and she wore a pretty pleated skirt with a brocade satin cloak on top. Her inky black hair was coiled up behind her head and in it was placed a very delicate and beautiful red gemstone hairpin. She was extremely eye-catching, especially because she carried in her arms a small snowy fox. Its golden and watery eyes peered left and right, extremely intelligent and cute looking. The woman was beautiful, her pet was beautiful, the image was completely like an immortal that had descended down to earth from the heavens.

The host of the Flower Festival was Dowager Concubine Shu {T/N: A concubine of the previous Emperor}. When she saw OuYang MingYue from far away she immediately liked the look of her. She ordered people to bring her over but completely ignored Madame OuYang and OuYang Ya'Er, making these two people feel humiliated.

From a young age OuYang MingYue had been subject to strict discipline and training. Not only was her martial arts good but her other talents weren't lacking either. She knew how to play the zither, play chess as well as to draw. When Dowager Concubine Shu tested her, she openly displayed her talent and drew the attention of many young men. Although the Flower Festival was ostensibly to view and admire flowers but really it was like a marriage market. OuYang MingYue's attention seeking behavior left a lasting impression in many people's hearts.

Lin WenHan and a group of other wealthy young men were sitting in a pavilion not far away drinking wine and chatting. When he saw the woman he loved putting on such a talented performance, he felt very proud. There was another young man who as he looked at OuYang MingYue was filled with obsession and regret. He didn't talk with the others but only drank furiously as though he wanted to forget his troubles.

His name was Bai Lian he was originally he was the fiancée of the female lead. However after he heard that OuYang MingYue was weak and frail and that her appearance was only ordinary, he had hurried to cancel the engagement. Under the influence of Madame OuYang's glib tongue, he had been persuaded to change his engagement partner to OuYang Ya'Er. However now that he saw his original fiancee, he realized he had been lied to. The other person was clearly the most beautiful and talented person in the country. When the two sisters stood together, the originally above average OuYang Ya'Er was now unable to be looked at.

If he could go back in time he would definitely break his legs to prevent himself from switching a precious pearl for a fish eye. He was really blind. Madame OuYang's methods were also really ruthless. In order to promote her daughter, she had spread such lies and wasn't embarrassed at all. Bai Lian was filled with anger and hate for her.

Madame OuYang and OuYang Ya'Er were put in an awkward and embarrassing predicament. Many people looked at them with calculating gazes. OuYang MingYue pretended to converse with the various highborn ladies while at the same time keeping an ear out to listen to the talk around her. She was very satisfied. Seeing that the ladies were very interested in the snowy furball in her arms, she took him around to use him to make conversation.
