She acted cute and adorable, just like she did in the past. Chu Yizhao felt that he must have lost his mind in his previous life, as he could be fooled by such a clumsy trick and really thought Chu Yingxue was a poor and helpless little cabbage...

Chu Yizhao couldn't wait to take out a box from the dormitory.

It's funny to say, the gifts from the Chu family's parents and four brothers, six people, couldn't even fill up a box. In her previous life, she hid them like treasures and didn't show them to Chu Yingxue. Look how anxious she was.

Chu Huai gave a folding fan he painted himself, Zhao Shuzhen gave a jade bracelet, and Chu Laosan gave Chu Yingxue something, but she didn't know. Anyway, he gave her a black stone, which should have been picked up from the roadside. He called it a mysterious black gem.

Chu Lao Si was even meaner, and gave a handmade cricket cage, which was still used. Only Chu Da and Chu Er had a conscience, and gave a glazed hairpin with gold thread and a bird feather hairpin with kingfisher feathers.

"Open your eyes"

Chu Yingxue's attention was immediately attracted by the two gorgeous hairpins, and a flash of jealousy flashed across her eyes.

She pointed at the Liuli Buyao timidly, and before she could say anything, Chu Yizhao brought the item in front of her.

"Do you like it? Take it if you like."

"Hmm...ah?" Chu Yingxue just groaned when she was caught off guard by Chu Yizhao. She turned the finger towards herself in disbelief and said, "Give it to me?"

"You don't like it? Forget it." Chu Yizhao pretended to close the box.

Chu Yingxue quickly blocked him and said, “I like it, I like it.”

Chu Yingxue grabbed the hairpin with one hand and smiled considerately, "Xue'er is missing two pieces of headwear, so take these two. As for the rest, I'll keep them for my collection."

"Um...thank you."

Chu Yingxue got the things and left happily. Chu Yizhao touched the sachet on his waist, blinked, looked at the remaining things, laughed sarcastically, closed the lid and threw it in the corner.

The stone rolled twice in the box, flashed faintly, and then returned to darkness.

After giving her the things, Chu Yunxu came to her house again the next day, but this time he had a different excuse.

"Chu Yizhao, what do you mean? Why did you throw unwanted things to Xue'er? Do you like to humiliate others so much?"

Chu Yunxu asked angrily, and raised his hand to smash the white jade teacup on the table to pieces.

If he still had some feelings for other people, then he felt pure hatred for Chu Yunxu and Chu Yunyang, hatred that made his bones ache.

But now is not the time. Chu Yizhao pinched his palm hard, suppressed the anger in his heart, and spoke as calmly as possible.

"Humiliation? Fourth brother, do you think a used cricket cage is more humiliating or a kingfisher hairpin worth a hundred taels is more humiliating?"

Chu Yunxu's face froze, and his anger was completely extinguished. He felt guilty, but he couldn't admit it. He gritted his teeth and continued

"Love is not about status, how can you be so vain, you are a young lady from a marquisate, your vision is so narrow."

He seemed to be very keen on belittling the title of Miss Marquis, and would bring it up every time they had a quarrel.

In the farce of the previous life, Chu Yunxu smashed her bedroom. She was so angry that she slapped him. He held a grudge against her for three years. He looked like a human, but his heart was smaller than a needle.

Chu Yizhao softened his tone and smiled mischievously.

"If I had a narrow vision, I would not have kept Fourth Brother's gift and given away the precious pearl hairpin."

The morning sun was not so dazzling, but was mild with a hint of coolness. Chu Yunxu was in a trance for a moment. It had been a long time since he and Chu Yizhao had talked so calmly.

Chu Yizhao's gentle voice was still ringing.

"I kept the cricket cage given to me by my fourth brother and the folding fan given to me by my father. I am not like my cousin Xue'er, whose eyes are fixed on the pearl hairpins given by my eldest and second brothers. I gave those vulgar things to her. The thoughts of family members are more important than anything else."

Chu Yizhao said with satisfaction. Just like the past ten years, his eyes were full of trust in Chu Yunxu.

Chu Yunxu subconsciously retorted, "Don't say that, Xue'er."

"Okay, okay. I know Fourth Brother is partial. He only loves my cousin Xueer and not me," Chu Yizhao pouted and pretended to complain.

Chu Yunxu coughed uncomfortably and said, "I didn't mean that."

Seeing that Chu Yizhao still ignored her, he felt a little guilty. He was angry that Chu Yizhao always bullied Xueer in those days and deliberately embarrassed her at the birthday ceremony. Who knew that she actually hid it like a treasure? He took out a few banknotes from his sleeve.

"Crickets are hard to catch, and cages are just for show. Take this money and buy some hairpins and rings you like as a birthday gift from Fourth Brother."

Chu Yizhao was delighted and wanted to reach out but hesitated.

"Where did you get the money? Is it for buying books? I don't want it. Fourth brother, studying is more important. I have hairpins and rings. Although some of them were borrowed by my cousin, I don't wear them very often."

Chu Yunxu caught a glimpse of the girl's hair with only a wooden hairpin pinned to her bun, and couldn't help feeling a little resentful towards Chu Yingxue. It was enough for a girl to have just enough things for her, but why did she borrow so many things and even snatch away her birthday gift?

"Take the money, I still have it, no need to save it for Fourth Brother"

Chu Yizhao happily complimented, "Fourth brother, you are so nice."

Seeing Chu Yizhao's brilliant smile, Chu Yunxu raised his lips unconsciously.

When Chu Yunxu left, Chu Yizhao gave him a light blue purse.

"Brother, the herbs here can refresh your mind. If you carry them with you, you won't feel sleepy when you study."

"Okay, I'll take it with me."

Watching the young man leave, Chu Yizhao rubbed his fingers and his smile gradually disappeared. Chu Yunxu was just a smooth-coated dog who would call anyone who petted him master.

There were one hundred taels of silver on the table, which should be the money Chu Yunxu used to buy pens and ink. If Chu Yingxue knew that Chu Yunxu came to give her money, she would probably be furious.

She put the money into her small purse and sat on the edge of the bed, thinking that if she didn't have the ability to take revenge in the future, she would have to burn down the mansion.

As a wanted criminal, money is of utmost importance, so she needs to save more.

She also had to take back the treasure given by the Queen Mother...

Chu Yingxue was waiting expectantly for Ruyi Residence to make a fuss. After waiting for a long time, she finally saw Chu Yunxu scolding her for borrowing things and not returning them.

She tried to explain to others in a coaxing manner, but she was about to explode in her heart. This Chu Yizhao actually secretly reported her and she didn't know what he said to Chu Yunxu. This person was like a demon and kept saying good things about her. He was indeed not a good person.

After dinner, Chu Yizhao sat in the yard, and Huaichun fanned her.

As soon as Yingxue entered the room, she saw Chu Yizhao fiddling with a red grass, which looked extremely familiar.

"Is this Zero Lotus Grass?"

The voice was so sharp that Chu Yizhao almost lost his grip.

"What are you arguing about?" she said angrily.

"I..." Chu Yingxue's face looked unhappy. Chu Yizhao actually gave her the cold shoulder. Since she entered the mansion, Chu Yizhao always had a kind smile on his face. Now, not only did he instigate his fourth brother to scold her, but he also gave her a cold shoulder.

When the third brother is not around, her true nature is revealed. I'll see if she doesn't go to her mother and complain about her.

"Sister, if you don't like me, I'll leave."

As she was about to run away, Chu Yizhao spoke up as soon as she took a step.

"I found something good under Wuqing Cliff."

Chu Yingxue's foot had already stepped out when she turned around, and the other foot was suspended stiffly in the air, like a puppet broken by a child, in a strange shape.

Wo Qiu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Chu Yingxue's face turned red, and her naturally gifted tears were about to fall, which looked both pitiful and funny.

After a while, Chu Yingxue couldn't stand the tiredness and curiosity anymore, so she put her feet down, turned around angrily, and put on a smile again.

"What good stuff, sister?"

Chu Yizhao laughed, "Sister, have you ever been to southern Sichuan? How could you..." Chu Yizhao stretched out his hand and waved it across his face...

Chu Yingxue's face tightened and she smiled awkwardly, "Sister... I..."

"I understand. After all, it's something that can heal your face, so naturally you have to be a little shameless."

Chu Yingxue's face turned black after being scolded, but she couldn't help but ask what that thing was.
