The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

And at home, Situ Xin was truly the apple of everyone’s eye. When she said she wouldn’t go, Old Master Loo and Old Master Situ immediately decided that those talents were not worth pursuing.

So, while other children in the compound were sent to learn various talents, Situ Xin stayed at home, keeping the elderly gentlemen company. The fact that the Situ Family’s granddaughter did not go to learn any talents was well known throughout the entire compound.

"Liu Zhengyang, what in the world is the matter with your sister? What kind of madness is she unleashing up there?" Situ Jin would become very difficult to deal with whenever it involved his precious little sister Situ Xin. Just a moment ago, Situ Jin’s face had been smiling as he praised Liu Zhengyang’s sister. But the next second, upon hearing what Liu Qianxue had said, his expression changed.

"This kid’s sister? Hurry up and bring your sister down for me. Otherwise, I’ll go up and catch her myself. If she gets hurt or bumps into something, don’t blame me." Loo Jie wouldn’t discriminate between genders or show any mercy when it came to someone wanting to embarrass his sister. Saying this, he was ready to go up on the stage and grab the person.

Meanwhile, Liu Qianxue on stage, seeing that Situ Xin hadn’t come up, thought that Situ Xin was afraid of embarrassing herself and was all the more smug about it. Now, she stood there and urged, "What’s the matter, Situ Xin? Are you scared, or can you simply not play the piano and are just a pretty but useless decorative pillow?"

When Liu Qianxue’s words came out, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, who already had unpleasant expressions, looked even more displeased. Old Master Loo forced a smile that did not reach his eyes as he looked at Old Master Liu: "Liu Guodong, your granddaughter sure has a way with words, daring to call my granddaughter a ’pretty but useless decorative pillow’." Old Master Loo’s expression made Old Master Liu internally exclaim, "This is bad."

He knew that the current situation in the Capital City was very different from when he had left. If once the Liu Family had a foothold in the Capital City, now they were nothing there. Meanwhile, the Situ Family and the Loo Family’s status had risen significantly.

Actually, when the Liu Family left the Capital City, it wasn’t because of his health—his health was just a pretext. The order for his son’s demotion had also been arranged by him. He had received a secret order from above indicating that, in the following years, there would be a major overhaul of several families in the Capital City. After receiving instructions from above, to avoid calamity during this major shake-up, he had left the Capital City with his family.

Even though Elder Liu had left the Capital City, he still paid close attention to its dynamics. Originally, when he heard that Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran had encountered gunfire during military exercises, he knew that the powers that be had started to move, and he felt fortunate for his own actions. He also thought that the Situ and Loo Families would definitely fall this time.

But unexpectedly, in the end, the news he received was that the Loo, Situ, and Xiao Families’ positions in the Capital City had climbed even higher, while the high-ranking official who had been informing him was arrested. There was indeed a major overhaul in the Capital City, but it was those in his favor who were replaced.
