Chapter 391: Portrait of a Beauty

"Elder sister, you must win the painting competition. We can't let her be smug again,"

Honestly, Gu Youyou's performance left her feeling unsure, so Yue Rushuang didn't agree directly and only said, "I will do my best."

The young ladies were painting together, and they all placed their hopes on the eldest sister, so the others were merely painting casually.

As long as the eldest sister won, it didn't matter if they lost.

The youngest of the sisters, just a child, was the happiest; she didn't understand what her elder sisters were competing for and was content to just spread her little hands and smear away, wishing she could cover the whole paper with her favorite colors.

Gu Youyou frowned because she wasn't very skilled with the brush, so she asked a servant for some charcoal instead.

The servant was slightly surprised, not knowing what Gu Youyou wanted charcoal for.

But upon seeing the Marquess nod to him, he promptly went to fetch it.
