CHAPTER 35 - HIDDEN BEAUTY
The crowd's excitement was purely for the spectacle. Setting aside the complexities of this prominent family for a moment, it was rumored that the newly-returned legitimate daughter of the Chancellor's family was to be betrothed to the Fifth Prince. Naturally, the crowd was eager to see what she looked like.
In the Chancellor's household, there were five daughters. The eldest two had already married off, leaving the third and fourth daughters still awaiting marriage proposals.
The third daughter was renowned for her stunning beauty. After the first beauty of the capital, who belonged to the wealthy Ma family, she was considered the second-most beautiful woman. Given that her father was the Left Chancellor, there was a long line of suitors hoping to win her hand.
The fourth daughter, on the other hand, was not particularly striking. Her looks were average, but she was celebrated for her intelligence and wit, making her the top intellectual among the high-society ladies in the capital. Her fondness for modest, white-lotus attire, coupled with her reputation as the city's most talented young lady, also earned her more than a few suitors.
So what about this newly-returned legitimate daughter? What was she like?
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the first to emerge was a woman in her early thirties. Her graceful posture and lithe figure caught everyone's attention. If the matron looked this elegant, people thought, the young lady must surely be a great beauty.

Following the matron, two young girls dressed in soft pink gowns stepped out from the carriage. Their matching attire indicated they were likely maidservants. However, these maids were strikingly beautiful—one had a radiant complexion and was alluringly cute, while the other's eyes sparkled with an endearing charm. Both were more stunning than the daughters of most noble families.
After exiting the carriage, the two maids respectfully took their places at one side, their actions embodying grace and decorum.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, another young girl emerged from the carriage. Dressed in a light green gown, her features were exquisitely refined. The crowd gasped in awe—so the legitimate daughter of this house was so beautiful. Yet, to their surprise, this young lady also took her place respectfully to the side, her hands delicately folded, embodying grace and poise.
It turned out she wasn't the young lady of the house either!
Finally, a young girl in a water-blue dress descended from the carriage. Her bright eyes and radiant smile exuded a spirited, playful energy. Surely, the crowd thought, this must be the Chancellor's daughter. Although she wasn't a stunning beauty, she was still remarkably attractive, and who's to say she wouldn't grow up to become even more alluring?
As the crowd pondered this, the young girl in the water-blue dress took her place beside the carriage door and clearly called out, "Young Mistress!"
Only then did the crowd realize that she too was another maid.
As this maid slightly leaned forward to offer her hand, a delicate jade-like hand emerged from inside the carriage to rest upon it. Then a veiled young woman stepped out.
She was dressed in a flowing white gown, her raven-black hair cascading down her back. Her hair was simply adorned with a silver hairband, matched by a slender silver belt cinching her tiny waist. Though her face was obscured by the veil, her entire being radiated a soft, elegant aura that left the crowd momentarily stunned.
Among the onlookers were several young men dressed as scholars, utterly captivated and yearning for just a glance from her.
Hearing whispers beginning to circulate about her, she cast her eyes over the crowd. For a fleeting moment, her gaze shone like lustrous pearls, captivating all who looked her way.
The crowd felt somewhat let down; although the legitimate daughter of the Chancellor's household exuded an extraordinary grace, her face remained unseen.
"Welcome home, Fifth Miss!" the servants at the entrance of the Chancellor's estate chorused under the steward's direction.
