How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Chapter 175

"I'm just telling the truth. Let everyone here tell me, isn't the sound of the piano harsh?" The woman who said the piano sounded unpleasant spoke again.

Li Xuemu, who was chatting quietly with Jia Qingwu, stopped and turned around to signal the servant to keep an eye on things. Seeing Xia Chu's curious expression, he smiled and said, "Do you still want to go and see the excitement?"

Xia Chu chuckled and peeked out through the gap in the screen. Jia Wanqing looked around, ran over, and leaned behind Xia Chu to look.

Jia Qingwu and Li Xuemu exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly. They continued to huddle together, chatting quietly about their respective recent situations.

Upon hearing about the divorce, Li Xuemu looked up at the children and whispered, "I heard about this. Sun Wuji hasn't been out for several days. If you didn't look for me these days, I would have gone to look for you."

Outside the screen, Sun Zhixia stood behind her friend, a look of innocence and humiliation on her face. She had been the one playing the piano just now, having finally managed to coax Fang Miaomiao out to play with her. It was a perfect opportunity to meet Fang Peifeng and perform in front of him. Who would have thought that playing the piano would be criticized? Her playing had been praised by her master, so how could it be bad?

Fang Miaomiao saw the woman in front of her, "It's you again, Tian Ruier."

Tian Ruier glanced from top to bottom at Fang Miaomiao and Sun Zhixia behind her. The disgust on her face was impossible to ignore. "You seem quite comfortable hanging out with this idiot who came out of nowhere every day."

Sun Zhixia's teeth clenched, her face flushed red, and she almost instantly wanted to find a place to hide. She was a concubine's daughter, even worse than a concubine's son or daughter. Especially when she first came back, she was still living as Sun Juexia, but was later discovered by Jia Qingwu. But her mother still wanted her to live as Sun Juexia. In the future, if she told others that she was the eldest daughter of the Sun family, it would be much easier to negotiate a marriage.

But she didn't want to. She had her own name. Zhixia sounded better than Juexia. Why should she live under someone else's identity? But as she grew older, she understood her mother's painstaking efforts. Especially at a time like this, if she were the legitimate daughter of the Sun family, even if her family wasn't prominent, she would never have been humiliated like this.

Fang Peifeng frowned and glanced at Sun Zhixia, his rising anger mostly dissipating. The young woman was on the verge of tears, her willow-shaped brows slightly knitted together, her almond-shaped eyes brimming with tears, her nose slightly red, and she looked incredibly pitiful.

Never mind, he's just a poor guy. He saw his sister about to rush over, so he quickly grabbed her shoulder. "Miaomiao."

"Didn't you hear what she said?" Fang Miaomiao struggled twice, but to no avail. She angrily turned to Tian Ruier and said, "You claim to be from a prestigious family, but you don't even have basic manners. Her background wasn't her choice; you're just lucky. Zhixia hasn't done anything bad, so why are you speaking so viciously?"

Zhixia? Xia Chu caught the name and subconsciously turned to look at Jia Qingwu. Jia Qingwu seemed not to hear, smiling faintly as she spoke to Li Xuemu. Noticing Xia Chu's gaze, she turned back with a questioning look.

Xia Chu shook his head and continued to watch the fun.

Fang Miaomiao's words made sense, and many of the onlookers showed expressions of approval.

Tian Rui'er refused to budge. She simply couldn't stand these bastards. Whether they were concubines or illegitimate children, none of them were good. "A dragon gives birth to a dragon, and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. But this mother has no sense of shame, so what good can she raise? Not all bad bamboos can produce good shoots. Not even my foot-washing maid can compare. Being around people like them is unlucky." With that, she turned, the red coral bead tassels on her hairpin swung out in an arc, just like its owner, beautiful yet arrogant.

Sun Zhixia's teeth nearly broke as she clenched her teeth in jealousy. Tian Rui'er was beautiful, of clean birth, and wealthy, allowing her to trample on others with impunity. Even when she spouted outrageous words, there were always those who followed her. She lowered her head, afraid to let anyone see the jealousy in her eyes. But this appearance only aroused the pity of the Fang brothers and sisters.

Tian Rui'er, this name, this domineering personality, could she be related to Tian Mi'er? The gap in the screen was too small to clearly see the faces of the people on either side, so I didn't see her face. But judging by the name and the way they acted, it was impossible to say that they were not sisters.

At this time, a maid came over and said that everything was ready. Li Xuemu nodded and went downstairs intimately holding hands with Jia Qingwu.

Xia Chu didn't feel neglected; instead, she thought it was a good thing. Seeing more scenery, spending time with friends, and not always focusing on one thing would definitely be beneficial for Jia Qingwu's condition. However, she was a professional psychologist after all, so she could only rely on her own guesswork.

When walking downstairs, Xia Chu was still thinking that Tian Ruier had just come down and she wouldn't bump into her.

As soon as she reached the second floor, she saw a girl in blue surrounded by people. Xia Chu had seen this dress before. She glanced at Tian Rui'er and saw that she did look a bit like Tian Mi'er. She also looked over, it was just a casual glance, but she seemed to notice someone and walked over.

"Aunt Jia, Aunt Li." Tian Ruier swept away her previous impatience and greeted them with a smile on her face.

"This is..." Jia Qingwu couldn't remember it for a moment.

"The eldest daughter of your sister-in-law's younger sister." Li Xuemu reminded softly.

Jia Qingwu always respected her sister-in-law, so she was very friendly to Tian Ruier. "Are you coming to play too? Isn't Mier here?"

"Mi'er went to the Jia family to study today," Tian Rui'er replied. "Sister Wanlin, Sister Wanqing. Who is this?" She shifted her gaze to Xia Chu's face, and surprisingly, she felt very familiar. She then looked at Jia Qingwu and instantly guessed this person's identity. Why didn't the Jia family release any information at all?

"This is my daughter..." Sun Juexia? Thinking of this name now, Jia Qingwu felt a slight resistance. After all, Sun Wujiu brought his concubine's daughter back to pretend to be his own daughter, and even took her name, which made people feel a little uncomfortable. Xia Xia is now called Wang Xiachu, but if she said this name, others would probably think too much. Jia Qingwu thought about it in her mind, "Xiachu."

Isn't her name Sun Juexia? Tian Rui'er was a little puzzled, but it was normal for her to change her name after being missing for so many years. She thought of the person on the third floor and suddenly couldn't suppress a smile. The real daughter is back, how will the fake one cope? Oh, what a good show. She was gloating in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She spoke softly, like a gentle lady from a noble family.

If Xia Chu hadn't seen it with his own eyes just now, he would have thought so.

Tian Ruier asked where they were going and said goodbye. She wondered what would happen if the real and fake ladies met.
