Chapter 151: Zhe’s Daughter, Part Two
"Wait a minute, why is the brooch regarded as a certificate?" Hui Yuanchu was a little confused, "And the flower bud brooch...isn't it issued after the Rose Pavilion has certified it as a flower bud?"

"No, Master Hui. Although the Rose Hall is responsible for the management of the flower bud system, it actually only distributes calyx and green leaf brooches. The flower bud brooch is another situation." Fujihira Chihiro explained, "Please allow me to obey the flower buds Let’s talk about the origin and significance of brooches.”

Having said this, Fujihira Chihiro pointed at the brooch pinned on Haiyuanchu's chest.

"Lord Gray, there is one rule set by the Rose Hall, and it is also one of your important tasks as White Rose to maintain school ethics. Of course, please allow me to introduce it to you this time. As a student of the Holy Knot, , it is a responsibility to carefully maintain and wear the flower bud brooch correctly. The flower bud brooch is not allowed to be played with, discarded, damaged or soiled. If there is any intentional violation, you will be warned, notified of criticism, expelled from school, and finally the brooch will be withdrawn, etc. A series of punishments. "

"...Because the brooch is of great significance to the Holy Knot."

"——What it represents is the core inheritance of the Holy Knot."

"The number of flower bud brooches has always been fixed... It has only one source, and that is the brooches sent to the first generation seniors to replace the school emblem in the first ten years of the founding of the Holy Knot School."

“Starting from the first generations, in the past hundred years, these brooches have been circulated among different holders—either given by elders to younger ones in the same family, or exchanged among families with friendship or interest, or with the passing of time. The change of power is from the dilapidated family to the emerging family..."

"And along with this, the custom gradually formed in the Holy Knot has become: it is not the person who is recognized as a flower bud who is awarded the brooch, but the person holding the brooch who enters the Holy Knot is qualified to be recognized as a flower bud."

"Although it has been recovered and remade several times, each brooch is no longer the same object on the material level as the one 100 years ago, but the total number has not changed, and its meaning will not change."

"Every brooch has its origin and meaning, which should not be underestimated."

Fujihira Chihiro said it very seriously.And Ijuin Ayano, who was listening on the sidelines, even gradually showed a proud look.

Hui Yuanchu accurately captured the core of this passage.

The flower bud brooch has become a kind of "token" or "medal", symbolizing that the holder's family has been accepted into this upper class circle.

As a result, Shengjie students are divided into three classes from the beginning of their enrollment.

The brooch holder must be a core member of the big family, and will naturally be certified as a bud after entering the school.

Later, the system of "recommendations" came into being.The valet of the flower bud enters the school through this route, and is then certified as a calyx.

What finally came about was the admissions examination, which was only opened to the public ten years ago to introduce civilian talents.But the civilian students who take the exam can only be weeds from the beginning, and can only pursue the road of climbing green leaves.

"Do you think this brooch was granted by Zhe Shi, so it can prove Zhe Lukui's identity?"

"Yeah. Because it was confirmed from the school board that there was indeed a school director who once presented Zhe with a brooch. And that school director also said that not everyone can name the name 'Zheli'. .”

"Then?"

"Then we thought about it and... agreed."

Hui Yuanchu frowned and said: "...Is that all? There are no documents?"

"Because the 'recognition' of the Rose Hall is not the admission procedure for the Holy Knot..." Chihiro Fujihira explained with a wry smile, "Under normal circumstances, in this circle, there is a certain lady in each house, and everyone has come into contact with them to some extent. , or those who have heard of it, no documentation is needed at all.”

"But if you are a reclusive Zheji who rarely communicates with the outside world, similar confirmation will be difficult... For example, Lord Gray, you are the first Zheji that I have ever seen with my own eyes.

"At that time, I actually asked Zheji for confirmation...but there was no response from the other side."

"Since the information channel itself has been confirmed and there is no obstacle, the only possibility is that the other party deliberately refuses to answer. And it is really embarrassing to consider the 'illegitimate daughter' before officially admitting it..." She coughed intentionally a few times. , covering up the embarrassment, “So the school board felt at the time that this might be a kind of acquiescence.”

"Finally, the Rose Hall certified Zulu Kui and adjusted all her benefits to the flower bud level."

Afterwards, the living room fell into silence.

Fujihira Chihiro, Ayanokouji Kiyone, and Ijuin Ayano all seemed to have fallen into some kind of memory and thinking state.

However, it’s not a pleasant memory just by looking at the expression.

Moreover, Haiyuan was surprised to find that Ayano Ijuin was the most emotional person.

She bit her lips unconsciously, clenched her fists, and breathed quickly, as if she was suppressing anger.

Finally, Chihiro Fujihira said with a somewhat stiff face: "——But a week later, Ori suddenly conveyed a clear opinion to the school: the head of the family, Ori, personally came forward to explain that he did not know Ori Aoi and Ms. Ono at all. They have nothing to do with him or anyone in the Zhe clan."

Hui Yuan was stunned.

This is inconsistent with the plot he knows!Zheli has clearly admitted Zhelukui now!
"What exactly did Zhe say?" he asked with a frown.

"Of course Ori is not obligated to give a more detailed explanation... However, the academy and the Rose Hall learned through that - ahem, other channels: I am afraid that this Ms. Ono is really just a person who was born due to the embarrassment of life and social narrowness. A single mother suffering from some delusional symptoms. Her only connection with the Zhe family is that she worked for a period of time in a company under the group decades ago, and that's all. It was confirmed within the group that due to location, status, identity, etc. There is a huge gap, let alone close contact, there is even no possibility that Ms. Ono and Mr. Zheli have ever met before."

"So, how could her biological daughter, Zhe Lukui, shed Zhe Lukui's blood?"

"...Moreover, at that time, Ms. Ono was indeed completely unreachable, which is very suspicious."

……No relationship?Huiyuan didn't believe it at first.

If the two were really not related by blood, how could Zheli choose Zhelu Aoi as her heir...at least, one of the heirs?

"So, how did the Academy end up handling this?" he continued.

"The Rose Pavilion deprived Zhelukui of her flower bud status, and announced the matter to the whole school."

Hui Yuanchu's face turned cold.He could completely imagine the situation Oriuru Kui was in at that time.

...a weed trying to pass itself off as a bud.

Such existence will not be tolerated by anyone in this school with distinct classes.

Hui Yuanchu squinted at Chihiro Fujihira and said, "...Either she will be expelled directly, or she will be concealed. You made this matter known to everyone, but you still let her stay in the school. Is it out of good intentions?"

Fujihira Chihiro felt Haihara's initial unhappiness, but frowned and didn't understand: "But this is indeed a good intention. Because her mother just abandoned her and disappeared, even if we kicked her out, she would have nowhere to go. ...It was with this in mind that after discussing it with the school, the Rose Hall mercifully refrained from expelling her directly. It just let her return to her position as a 'weed'. That's how the rules are."

Ayano Ijuin slapped the table and said angrily: "Master Gray, don't be deceived. That weed girl is not a victim! Before being exposed, she had been saying that she was a divorced daughter all day long. You’re talking about it!”

Haiyuan glanced at the agitated Ijuin again, calmed down, turned to Chihiro Fujihira, and continued to ask: "What happened next? How long did Aoi Oru endure it?"

"At the end of March, she took the initiative to withdraw from school."

"Then where did she go?"

"No one will know."

Hui Yuan nodded and did some mental calculations.There was a gap of about a year between the time Zorokui dropped out of the Holy Knot and the time she transferred to Jingqiu this year.

So...it seems that a lot of things happened later to create the Oruru Aoi she is now.

It's just that it has nothing to do with the Holy Knot.

Finally, Chihiro Fujihira said with somewhat complicated emotions: "Including me, no one expected to see Oru Aoi again. And...it was actually by your side."

"So, does this mean that your father, Mr. Zheli, was magnanimous and not only forgave her, but also gave her a place to return to?"

Hui Yuan was too lazy to explain and couldn't explain it, so he nodded and said, "I think that's probably it."

After thinking about it, he felt that as a "participant" in a certain sense, it might be more natural for "Miss Orihara Hai" to express her opinion.

So after thinking for a moment, Haiyuan initially mixed "Orihara Hui's" position and his personal confusion and said to himself: "It's just... I don't understand why she would do such a thing. What's the benefit?"

Ijuin on the side took over the words directly: "Master Gray, I know, right?"

She sneered and said, "I did investigate this weed girl later."

"This despicable and shameless weed girl disappeared for a while after dropping out of Holy Knot. She reappeared and has transferred to a private high school in Shibuya."

"But there she is, still using the reputation of being a transfer student from the Holy Knot, and deliberately arranging various pomps. She is continuing to imitate us!"

"So, her true nature has been clearly exposed, hasn't it?"

"From the very beginning, she has been a person who doesn't know her duty, only seeks fame and fame, and loves vanity!"

Judging from the expressions of Fujihira Chihiro and Ayanokouji Kiyone, they obviously knew about this and had the same idea as Ijuin Ayano, but they were a little reserved in their expression.

But Hui Yuanchu's expression couldn't help but become weird.

——Before entering the Holy Knot, when Zhe Lukui said that she would play the role of Calyx, Haiyuan once asked a question - Zhe Lukui's appearance as the "eldest lady" in Jingqiu had never been concealed.If the person who is bound by the Holy Knot knows, how should this be explained?

Orokui's answer was - "Don't worry at all."

At that time, she also said meaningfully: "Xiao Hui, you have to learn one thing - intelligence exists objectively, but the interpretation of intelligence does not."

Now Hui Yuanchu understood what she meant.The intensity of investigation that the eldest ladies of the Holy Knot can drive is actually impossible to go too deep.It just seems like "Zhelu Kui is very grand in Jiqiu".And their analysis of this phenomenon also...

...Is this also what you expected, Miss Zhe?

Haiyuan changed his mind and decided to grab a question he had always wanted to know: "Little Ayano, speaking of which, you haven't answered my question yet. Why do you hate Aoi so much? It seems that you hate Aoi so much than a serious victim like me. Do you want to hate it?"

Ijuin Ayano suddenly stopped talking as if she had been hit to the point.

Her face turned green and red for a while without saying anything. Finally she burst into tears, turned around and rushed out the door.

"Is she..." Hui Yuanchu turned to look at the remaining two people and asked in confusion.

Chihiro Fujihira held his forehead and sighed: "Maybe... I feel embarrassed."

"Shame?"

"Because...after investigation, it was found that the flower bud brooch that Zhe Lukui took out at the beginning seemed to be stolen from Ayano's house by Ms. Ono by some means."

"And..." Ayanokouji Kiyone glanced at the door that her friend had slammed open, and listening to the angry cries coming from the corridor, she turned to Haiyuanchu in a low voice: "——Of course, Master Hai, don't say it's me. Did you tell me?"

"Ayano, at that time—before the incident came to light, she liked Orukoi very much, and even recognized her as her 'sister'."
