Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1461: Chapter 1441: Scheming

When she arrived at the Hua Residence, Luo Qianqian looked around with particular amazement.

The flowers and plants in the surrounding yard had clearly not been tended to for a long time, making the branches fly all over the place.

Jin Xianchuan couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret, but since this little girl mentioned something about Lifespan Extension Pills and elixirs, things he had never seen before... he truly wanted to see what kind of treasure could be exchanged for elixirs...

”Sister Xiao Hua, why don’t you and brother-in-law go change clothes first, we can go see Uncle ourselves. After all, I would feel more assured seeing him personally.” Luo Qianqian had a negotiating look, but her tone left no room for doubt.

Hua Nianyi nodded; after all, with Jin Xianchuan present, she couldn’t leave alone, so letting Luo Qianqian visit was a good idea.

Watching Luo Qianqian and Yan enter the old man’s bedroom, Jin Xianchuan didn’t mind Huangfu Yihui beside him and directly tugged Hua Nianyi out, his face full of warning: ”If your old man spills the beans, there will be trouble for you!”

In just a short while, Luo Qianqian walked out of the room with Old Master Hua, both in high spirits and laughter.

”You girl, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten about this capability. However, the last effect of the Heaven Chosen Pearl has already been used by me, so now it’s just an ordinary pearl...” Old Master Hua looked at the box in Luo Qianqian’s hands, shook his head, and returned the Jade Vase he was holding: ”It’s not worth it, I know your grandfather just kept it for display, the last lifesaving effect was used by me, so it’s of no use, consider it a gift.”

”That won’t do. My grandfather said, you can’t just take something from others without an exchange, right? Besides, this was a gift for you from my grandfather, I dare not take it back. How about giving me some small item instead?” Luo Qianqian sat at the side, holding the box tightly.

Hua Nianyi watched the box silently, yet no matter how she looked, it didn’t seem like something from their home, but wisely said nothing.

Seeing Old Master Hua standing there in good condition, Jin Xianchuan was instantly dumbfounded, opening his mouth wide in disbelief, looking at him somewhat at a loss.

And Old Master Hua, seeing his startled look, immediately turned serious upon seeing Hua Nianyi beside him.

Jin Xianchuan sighed in relief, realizing Old Master Hua cared about Hua Nianyi, so there was still a chance...

”Sister Xiao Hua, brother-in-law, why haven’t you changed clothes?” Luo Qianqian pretended to be puzzled at the two, blinking her eyes, and then looked at Old Master Hua: ”I haven’t gotten any wedding candy either, you owe me.”

”...All right!” Old Master Hua looked at Hua Nianyi and Jin Xianchuan, stayed silent for a long time, and then nodded heavily: ”I’ll buy you some candy later!”

Jin Xianchuan clearly heard the restraint in Old Master Hua’s voice, feeling relieved as he wasn’t afraid of being exposed.

”By the way, Sister Xiao Hua, it’s said that only the Hua Family bloodline can make the Heaven Chosen Pearl light up. Uncle Hua just tried, and it didn’t work, right? Why don’t you give it a try?” Luo Qianqian opened the box with feigned melancholiness: ”Isn’t it beautiful when it lights up?”

”This needs to be in a dark place to see. Let’s go to the study.” Old Master Hua sighed, giving Hua Nianyi a deep look as if with some regret.

In the study, with the windows and doors closed, Hua Nianyi walked to the table. At this point, the item in the box was already placed on it, while Yan and Huangfu Yihui lowered their heads, their shoulders trembling involuntarily.

An exquisite metal base held the Crystal Ball securely in place, with a beautiful cherry blossom inside.

Hua Nianyi walked forward awkwardly; how was this thing from their home?

How would she know how to make it light up?

Luo Qianqian gently held her hand, pressing the hidden switch on the base, instantly casting interwoven colorful lights across the study room of Hunan. Hua Nianyi and Jin Xianchuan were both amazed, looking incredulous.

Hua Nianyi withdrew her hand, and Luo Qianqian also subsequently turned off the switch.

Indeed, the so-called Heaven Chosen Pearl was just a Crystal Ball; all that illuminated was merely the base.

”Hehehe, it’s real, I was worried Uncle Hua would trick me again like last time with the Luminous Pearl.” Luo Qianqian sniffed, carefully placing the Crystal Ball back in the box.

Watching Luo Qianqian carefully, Yan and Huangfu Yihui almost genuinely believed it was some treasure, fearing that the object was not even worth as much as the box...

Back when they were at the Luo Family, such small items were common playthings.

However, Jin Xianchuan was evidently interested; the object looked quite mysterious!

”It’s just a thing to check the purity of our Hua Family’s bloodline, only your grandfather likes such things.” Old Master Hua chuckled, looking at Hua Nianyi: ”This was crafted by a great figure in our Hua Family’s ancestry, because of an unfaithful wife. It was made as a Divine Artifact, so only those of our lineage would make it light up. But it allows for saving lives three times, to be used by our Hua Family’s bloodline. The first time it helped that great figure achieve enlightenment, the second time saved a General, allowing him to return to battle after a pierced heart, the third time, I just used it now. I almost forgot, if it weren’t for Sister Shiqi mentioning it.” Saying this, he glared at Jin Xianchuan indignantly.

At this moment, Jin Xianchuan also looked regretful; had he known the Hua Residence had such an object, he would have taken it long ago!

But because of those resentful eyes, Jin Xianchuan had no doubt, believing firmly that the Hua Family truly had a treasure.

After all, the ups and downs of great families and the rise of small families were not uncommon... What was there to be surprised about?

A great figure in the Hua Family’s ancestry was not impossible.

Immediately, a scheming thought arose, as the Royal Family’s banquet was approaching. Presenting this treasure would surely be splendid and nothing alike to anyone else!

Then the Jin Family would rise, his path to becoming a giant within the Jin Family was not far at all!

”However... this mission of mine is to find something, carrying this would be cumbersome.” Luo Qianqian glanced at the box, blinking: ”How about you keep it for me first, and I’ll take it back from you when I return?”

”Sure.” Old Master Hua nodded calmly.

”Sister Shiqi ventured out to find something? Perhaps I could help?” Jin Xianchuan quickly suggested.

Only with help would it be easy to bring up further matters!

”Well, just a few dozen types of Spiritual Herbs and Medicines, it may be time-consuming.” Luo Qianqian sighed: ”But that’s also why I can leave home for a while.”

”Is that so? Why not tell me, and I’ll see if I can help you find them?” Jin Xianchuan proposed immediately.

He hadn’t noticed the brief glint in the corner of everyone’s eyes in the room when he said this.

Luo Qianqian nodded and quickly wrote down a list. The font used by Luo Qianqian, learned together with Luo Shufan and He Wenyu at Old Zhang’s House, appeared grand and was not as delicate and lovely as would be expected from a girl.

Among them, over a dozen were spiritual medicine collectibles that Old Master Hua had revealed to her from the Jin Residence.
