Ten Again to Fight against Her Fate

"Grandmother frowned, her forehead was locked in a tight seal." You have a quarrel? The Xue Clan's Second Girl was the daughter of a concubine, right? How could I have the guts to push you into the water? " Grandmother stopped spinning the bracelet and looked at me quizzically. This was the so-called aristocratic family. The direct descendants of their daughters were all clean and clean, but the concubines were allowed to ignore them.

"The elders of the Xue Clan should know about this." How would the elders of the Xue Clan know that I would fall into the water, unless it was arranged by their seniors?

"Grandmother, look at the material of that dress." I pointed at the clothes on the shelf. Grandmother went over to take a closer look, and after a while she sat back down on the stool with a poncho in her hand. This is Yun Jin, a thousand gold each. The embroidery on top of it is the stacking of needle embroidery from the Ling Immortal Pavilion. It is extremely rare to obtain one of these, not to mention the fact that both of them have their own uses. I took out a box from the bed. Inside it was the jewelry of the Xue family. Grandmother took out the hairpin and looked at it. Her face turned heavy as she put it back into the box.

The grandmother sighed. "This face looks ordinary, but it's not easy to get. Only the capital's jewelry stores can customize such tiresome, gold-threaded craftsmanship. " Grandmother closed the box, hiding the light from the gold.

"Grandmother, the Xue Clan first pushed me into the water, then silently compensated for the precious clothes and jewelry. There must be something strange about it."

Grandmother picked up the bracelet again, her expression didn't change at all. I lay on my bed and thought about it, but I couldn't come up with anything.

"Before you left, please ask mother to specially change your light colored clothes, but the Xue Clan took out such a gorgeous color." My grandmother's mind was very sharp, and she immediately thought back to that morning at the party when my skirt was wet and my mother insisted that I wear those clothes to the party. I remembered Mrs. Xue's surprise at my looks, and Madame Jiang's enthusiasm, and how suddenly everything was linked together!

"Grandmother, I understand!" I sat up abruptly and held Grandmother's warm hand. "I'm afraid that it's because I look somewhat similar to someone, especially wearing the dress that my mother prepared, that the Xue family didn't want anyone to see that person's resemblance to me. That's why they risked having Second Miss Xue push me into the water!" The Xue Family didn't want anyone to see how similar I looked to that person. The Xue Clan naturally knew the answer to the question of who the two distinguished guests were, apart from King Qi and the princess.

Grandmother's hands trembled, and the bracelet dropped to the ground with a bang. Grandmother's expression showed some shock and also some sadness.

"Boss …" Boss … Why are you so muddled! " Grandmother's face was filled with disappointment, but soon after, anger crawled onto her face and Grandmother shouted, "Red Jade! Red Jade! " Hong Yu responded and quickly walked in, her hands still wearing the thimble.

"Go!" Go! Hurry up and get the boss over here! " Grandmother rarely called her father that, much less had she ever been so angry.

"You mean the Old Master?" Red Jade hesitated for a moment. It was already the Hai hour, and she had never called her father over so late before.

"Who else other than this unfilial son!" Grandmother's face turned red from anger, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Yes!" Hong Yu did not dare to say anything else and quickly went to attend to the errands.

After the red jade left, my grandmother just sat there quietly, her anger still on her face. I didn't dare to speak, just sat on the bed and listened to the wind outside.

"Mother!" His father's voice was accompanied by heavy footsteps as he entered the courtyard. His pace was quite fast, and with a creak, he closed the door.

"Kneel!" My grandmother's voice was cold in the still night.

"Mother?" His father was at a loss in the sudden turn of events. His daughter was still sitting on the bed in name, so how could he kneel on the ground?

"Kneel!" Grandmother turned her head away from her father, the light shining in the corners of her eyes.

His father slowly kneeled down. The light illuminated his father's face. Why was there such a huge difference in their hearts when they had eyes similar to his mother's?

"What are you and your mother planning that you think I don't know? Do you think I'm stupid? " Grandmother smiled coldly, and her father's eyes were filled with surprise.

"Mother, what do you mean?" his father asked.

"What is it? It's all good news! " Grandmother picked up the bracelet from the floor and threw it at her father. The bracelet did not hit him, and it slipped for a moment on the smooth stone tiles before stopping.

"Have you forgotten how your father died?" Her grandmother's eyes glittered with tears.

"Mother!" His father's face was filled with astonishment.

"Didn't your father tell you before he left? Did you forget?" Grandmother took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears on the side of her face, but she couldn't wipe them all away no matter how hard she tried.

"My son hasn't forgotten, but this time is different!" His father's eyes shone brightly in the light. "This is the right thing to do!"

"I've never heard that the things in this world can only be done by reason!" Grandmother looked at her father kneeling on the ground with a mocking smile.

His father lowered his head and did not say anything. It was obvious that he did not take Grandmother's words to heart.

"Tell me, who does she look like?" Grandmother asked my father, pointing at me sharply.

Father kept his head down, refusing to speak the truth.

"Does she look like that dead empress or does she look like a daughter of the Qin family?!" Grandmother reached out her hand and pushed the bowl of fish to the side, causing a loud cracking sound. Father did not expect Grandmother to be so angry. He was shocked and his body trembled.

"You won't tell me, right?" Grandmother pointed at her father, her hands trembling as she said, "I don't think you can go out and do business anymore. Selling the current store is more than enough for our family. Prepare a dowry for Chong Yuanyuan, you can stay at home from now on!" As soon as Grandmother finished speaking, she suddenly swayed a little. I hastily grabbed Grandmother and waved her hand. "Don't worry about it."

"Mother!" When his father saw his grandmother's haggard appearance, he panicked and quickly ran over and kneeled in front of her. He nervously stared at her.

"There's no need for you to act like that." Grandmother waved her hand, and I let go of her hand. "Tell me, who do you think she is? You've spent so much time and effort doing this to a child. " Tears welled up in Grandma's eyes and rolled down her aged face. She held the armrest of the chair tightly with one hand, the veins peeking out from under her wrinkled skin. Under the illumination of the lamplight, they shone with a pale light.

Father looked at me with a complicated expression and then looked at Grandmother who was old and weak.

"She looks like … Princess Hong Hua. " Grandmother's eyes widened.
