Chapter 55

In the afternoon, a servant girl came over in a panic and invited Zhao Yuanxiang to Xiangruiju.

Zhao Yuanxiang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the person Zhao Yanran was looking for was not the old lady, but Zhao Cheng.

She got up and told Du Ruo to stay, and only took Qingsang to Xiangruiju.

She walked unhurriedly, but the maid behind her was impatient, and reminded in a panic: "Second Miss, the master is a little angry now, you'd better go over quickly."

Zhao Yuanxiang didn't respond, but Qingsang said with a smile: "The snowy road is slippery, Miss should slow down, otherwise who can take the responsibility if bumping into each other?"

After she said that, the little maid naturally didn't dare to urge her anymore, so she could only follow behind with her mouth pursed.

After a while, Xiangruiju arrived.

As soon as Zhao Yuanxiang walked to the door of the main room, he heard Zhao Yanran's sobbing voice from inside: "Father, if this is an ordinary painting, my daughter will not care about it, but this is brought back to me by my elder brother from the frontier. Ah! And this is a statue of Guanyin, the second sister will probably suffer retribution for doing this! The daughter does not ask the father to punish the second sister, but only asks the father to let the second sister return the original painting, and then the daughter will immediately give the statue of Guanyin to the second sister!"

Zhao Yuanxiang didn't enter the door, she stood at the door, waiting for Zhao Cheng to speak.She really wants to hear how this father thinks of herself now.

"Your second sister has suffered a lot in the past. She has been living in such a place. She has never seen anything good. She must have secretly changed your Guanyin statue just because of a momentary brain fever. When she comes later, you can Don't be too aggressive."

Zhao Yuanxiang listened to Zhao Cheng's words, and a hint of ridicule slowly appeared in his eyes.

"Master, Yanran will never disregard the sisterhood." He's voice also came out: "However, if the second lady is unwilling to admit her mistakes, I'm afraid we can only present all the evidence. No matter what How should I put it, the second lady is still young, she must realize her mistake before she can correct it."

These words are really high-sounding.

Zhao Yuanxiang smiled slightly, and asked the maid next to him to pull up the curtain, and walked in gracefully.

Seeing her coming, the three people in the room stopped talking and all their eyes fell on her.

In the end, it was Mrs. He who called out affectionately: "Second Miss has arrived."

Judging from her tone, it seemed that she was simply looking forward to Zhao Yuanxiang's arrival.But the meaning in the words was that Zhao Yuanxiang came too slowly.

Zhao Yuanxiang just pretended not to understand, saluted Zhao Cheng and He Shi, and then asked softly: "I don't know why the father and mother let the daughter come?"

He glanced at Zhao Cheng, and seeing that he didn't mean to speak, she winked at Zhao Yanran.

Zhao Yanran squeezed the handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and pointed at the table with a finger like a jade green onion: "Second Sister, look at what that is."

There was an open painting on the table, Zhao Yuanxiang glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the amazing Guanyin portrait of the third sister? Why don't you put it away?"

"No, Second Sister, this painting is not mine." Zhao Yanran looked at Zhao Yuanxiang softly, and said softly, "Second Sister, you sent your maid to borrow my Guanyin statue yesterday. After returning it to me in the afternoon, I didn’t take a closer look at it, but when I wanted to take it out to have a look today——I found out that it was a fake painting at all!”

Zhao Yuanxiang pretended to be surprised: "Sister, I have never borrowed this painting, I am afraid that some maid used my name to trick the portrait into selling it secretly?"

A sneer flickered at the corner of He's mouth: "Second Miss, the maids in the mansion have to be approved by the master before they can leave the mansion. How could they secretly take out the paintings and sell them? Unless... that maid got your approval."
