The Rebirth of an Orphan

When it comes to jewelry and jade, these ladies started talking a lot, from the origin to the workmanship to the patterns and colors. For a moment, the atmosphere became lively.

Zhao Xihua just listened silently. She knew very little about jewelry except for those medical books, so it was not convenient for her to say anything. Unexpectedly, Gu Xianyu, who was sitting next to Gu Yanyu in the guest seat, spoke sharply.

"Sister-in-law, speaking of rubies, didn't the Queen Mother give you a ruby ​​bracelet before? I wonder where it was made? Sister-in-law has always treasured it so much that even I, your younger sister, have never seen it."

Zhao Xihua frowned deeply. She knew Gu Xianyu's thoughts too well. He was sure that he was going to stir up some trouble by using the red jade bracelet given by the Queen Mother.

However, the things given by the Queen Mother, even if they are not expensive, are very troublesome. If they are broken or lost, it would be an insult to the Queen Mother's kindness. If some people really make trouble deliberately, she would also have to bear the blame.

But she didn't dare to carry the red jade bracelet with her, so she asked Pingshui to put it away. But if she didn't show it to him, she would seem stingy. If she showed it to him, she would have to go back to get it, but her safety on the road could not be guaranteed.

Zhao Xihua originally wanted to find an excuse to leave when the time was almost right, but she didn't expect to be outmaneuvered by Gu Xianyu, and was stuck here, unable to leave.

Everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Xihua. In such a situation, what Gu Xianyu said was undoubtedly provoking trouble, but Princess Mingyue was happy to see it happen.

She wanted to see what abilities and progress the woman that Gu Lun liked and cared about had.

"Oh? The Queen Mother has always liked ruby. I didn't expect that the young lady also has a ruby ​​bracelet given by the Queen Mother. Your Highness also wants to take a look at it." Princess Mingyue looked at Zhao Xihua, her words carrying a certain firmness that could not be refuted.

Ling Ziye on the side was a little unhappy. Why did she feel like Princess Mingyue was determined to cause some trouble in her Ling family?

After hearing what Princess Mingyue said, Zhao Xihua knew that she would have to go back and get the bracelet that the Queen Mother had given her today.

It was originally a lively plum blossom viewing banquet of the Ling family, but now the atmosphere became tense because of the unexpected incident caused by the second daughter of the Gu family. Originally, everyone was just chatting, but now it seemed to have changed a little after Princess Mingyue said this.

Zhao Xihua understood that this was not just a matter of a bracelet, this was a trap that he had to jump into.

"Sister-in-law, you don't want to take it out and show it to us, right?" Gu Xianyu seemed to be determined to punish Zhao Xihua to death today.

Throughout the entire banquet, she could see Princess Mingyue's hostility towards Zhao Xihua. The affair between Princess Mingyue and that bastard Gu Lun had become an unspeakable secret. Now that Princess Mingyue was back, she wanted to see how Zhao Xihua, who had usurped the throne, died.

A trace of disgust flashed across Zhao Xihua's eyes. Gu Xianyu, this idiot, actually used the bracelet given by the Queen Mother to make trouble, not knowing that the bracelet was also a reputation for the Gu family.

Originally, Queen Mother Wang didn't like the Gu family and tried every means to suppress the Gu family in order to protect the Ling family. But now, this prodigal Gu Xianyu is thinking of sending the Gu family to jail.

But now that she has been forced to this point, how can she bear it any longer? She could only look at Pingshui and said, "Pingshui, go back and get the red jade bracelet that the Queen Mother gave to me, and..." Zhao Xihua lowered her voice and whispered a few words to Pingshui.

People around didn't find it strange. After all, it was such an important matter, and Zhao Xihua must have meant to remind them to be careful.

Pingshui left in a hurry after receiving the order, but Ling Ziye was a little nervous at this time, but she couldn't get away and let the people around her go with her. Even if she didn't like Zhao Xihua very much, after all, she saved her mother's life, and she didn't want Zhao Xihua to get into trouble in her home.

Gu Xianyu on the side insisted, "Sister-in-law, isn't it just a red jade bracelet? Why do you need to explain it in such detail?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, Ling Ziye couldn't help it and raised his voice and said, "Can't the wonderful scenery of my Ling family's plum garden stop Miss Gu's mouth?"

Everyone was stunned. Gu Xianyu's face turned red and he opened his mouth, not knowing what to do.

What right did Ling Ziye have to confront her? She was also the daughter of the Gu family compound. She was about to say something but was stopped by her sister Gu Yanyu.

After all, Gu Yanyu is not as willful as she was when she was in the Gu family. Behind Ling Ziye is the Queen Mother. If they really quarrel, Gu Xianyu will definitely not get away with it. Today, her younger sister is really impulsive.

"Xianyu, shut up!" Gu Xianyu said in a low voice. She looked up at her sister but saw some deep meaning in her sister's eyes. Did her sister have other plans?

Zhao Xihua looked at Ling Ziye with some surprise. She didn't expect that she would stand up to defend her. She couldn't help but have a better impression of Ling Ziye. Although this girl was aloof and a little indifferent, she was much better than those hypocritical ladies. It was a pity that it was impossible for people from two different worlds to have a good relationship.

After a long while, Pingshui appeared at the door of the banquet hall. Zhao Xihua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Pingshui coming in neatly holding a sandalwood box in her hands. It seemed that the journey from Gu's house to Ling's house was relatively smooth.

The Gu sisters also saw Ping Shui at the door, and Gu Yanyu's eyes suddenly showed some anger. It seemed that her plan to have someone do something on the road had failed, and that bitch Zhao Xihua had gotten away with it.

Pingshui also breathed a sigh of relief. There would be no problem with her brother-in-law's men protecting her on the road. Now all she had to do was hand the box to her sister. So she walked towards Zhao Xihua calmly.

She carefully avoided the girl who was walking very fast in front of her. Suddenly, a little girl rushed out from the side and bumped into her directly. It seemed that the little girl knew some kung fu, and her strength was so strong that Pingshui was knocked away.

With a loud crash, the box in Pingshui's arms fell to the ground, and the red jade bracelet flew out of the box and broke into pieces in an instant.

The girl who bumped into people ran away quickly like a gust of wind. Pingshui, who fell to the ground, turned pale instantly. She was able to prevent what happened on the road, but could not prevent them from fighting at the door.

The incident happened suddenly, right under Zhao Xihua's nose, and in the Ling family. It was so arrogant that everyone's eyes immediately fell on Pingshui, and then they were shocked to see the red jade bracelet that had been broken into two pieces on the ground.

The Gu sisters who were feeling frustrated suddenly had their depression swept away. They had originally wanted to teach Zhao Xihua a lesson, but they didn't expect that God would really help them.

"Oh, sister-in-law, what should I do?" Gu Xianyu cried out in surprise, "This... this was given by the Queen Mother."

Zhao Xihua had originally felt relieved, but she didn't expect something unexpected to happen. She ignored Gu Xianyu's words, and ignored those who wanted to watch the show. She just strode to Pingshui and helped her up herself.

"Sister," Pingshui's face turned pale and she could hardly hide her panic.

Zhao Xihua looked at Pingshui's wrist, which was scratched and bleeding. It was obviously not as simple as tripping. The person who could do something to the Ling family must not be a member of the Ling family, nor could it be the two stupid sisters of the Gu family. They didn't have the ability to do that. Then who was it?
