Chapter 204 What is the lower couplet?

"Indeed, the simplified version that is popular among the public has indeed discarded the difficult latter half."

"However, the girls in our brothel always strive for perfection; if they learn something, they must learn it in its entirety."

"My apologies, I was not aware that you couldn't perform the latter part," Mei Yi said with a covered smile.

Her words were a blatant mockery of Lin Fuying's lack of skill in her studies.

Lin Fuying could only feel her face growing hot with embarrassment.

She knew that the more she argued now, the more she would lose face.

She could only swallow her anger and quickly leave the scene.

"They say that Concubine Lin is a talented lady of the capital, versed in poetry, calligraphy, and dance, but who knew she wouldn't even compare to a girl from the brothel..."

"Yes, showing off with such a lack of skill, truly shameless."

After Lin Fuying left, the onlookers continued their spirited discussions.
