Chapter 115: Beating the Grass to Startle the Snake Part 1

The middle-aged man took out the couplet Jian Xi had written last night from his bag, "You wrote this calligraphy, right?"

Jian Xi nodded, "Yes, that's mine."

But how did her calligraphy end up in someone else's hands? Wasn't the school supposed to collect it for the exhibition?

"Then, may I ask what is your relationship with Madam Bi Qing?" the middle-aged man asked, full of anticipation.

Jian Xi looked at him, puzzled, "Who?"

"Madam Bi Qing!" the middle-aged man repeated.

"I don't know her," Jian Xi shook her head.

The middle-aged man was profoundly disappointed, "You really don't know her?"

"Mhm."

"How could that be? Your characters, they really look like hers..."

"Sorry, but I really don't know her."

"Then, may I ask who you studied under?"

"Pfft!" Jian Xi laughed, "I don't have a master, I just write for fun."

The middle-aged man's spirits sunk, "Then you are truly a talent, a self-taught talent!"

"You flatter me."
