Then Xia Shige took advantage of the man's unpreparedness, quietly took out a piece of blood from his hair, and slashed it towards his throat!
The sticky blood gushed out from the man's throat instantly!
The change came too suddenly. Xia Shige took advantage of the man's shock and quickly pounced on him and hit him hard a few more times in the same place. Soon the man became motionless due to excessive bleeding.
The noise in the room attracted the guards outside. When they broke in, Xia Shige, knowing she had no way to escape, slashed her throat with her sword without hesitation. The warm blood dyed her eyes red...
When she woke up again, she found herself reborn at the time when she returned to the Lu family to recognize her relatives.

Shen Zehuai looked up and saw Zhao Huifeng, and replied with a smile: "Boss Zhao, long time no see, business has been getting better and better recently."
Zhao Huifeng also smiled and said, "It's mutual. We are all thanks to Mr. Shen."
Then Zhao Huifeng noticed Xia Shige who was keeping her head down and not saying anything beside Shen Zehuai. He took a look at Xia Shige's clothes and found that Xia Shige was dressed in ordinary clothes and should not be a rich lady from some family.
So he smiled and teased Shen Zehuai again, "Is this the new sister-in-law? Mr. Shen is very lucky."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Shen Zehuai's face froze, and then he said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, this Miss Xia is my friend, I just happened to meet her at the hotel, I was bored so I asked Miss Xia to accompany me to the auction."
Zhao Huifeng put away the ambiguous and playful smile on his face, stretched out his hand to Xia Shige and said, "I'm sorry for being rude. I didn't expect you to be Mr. Shen's acquaintance. I'm Zhao Huifeng. What's your name, Miss Xia?"
Xia Shige had calmed down. She looked up expressionlessly, ignoring the hand Zhao Huifeng extended to her, and replied calmly, "I don't deserve it. I'm Xia Shige."
This time it was Zhao Huifeng's turn to be surprised. He blurted out, "Are you the biological daughter of the Lu family?"
Some time ago, he was entrusted by his aunt Mrs. Li to investigate Xia Shige. He also planned to help Mrs. Li kidnap Xia Shige and let her have an affair with Mrs. Li's demented little son.
I didn't expect Xia Shige to be so homebound, never going out of the house and just staying at home.
The doors and windows of the Xia family villa were solid, connected to an electric fence, and there were always people patrolling nearby. The people sent by Zhao Huifeng never found an opportunity to take action.
Xia Shige said calmly: "I don't understand what Mr. Zhao said. My last name is Xia, and I have nothing to do with the Lu family."
Zhao Huifeng looked at Xia Shige and Shen Zehuai thoughtfully again, then he shrugged and smiled, saying, "Then I won't bother you two anymore. I wish you two have fun."
After Zhao Huifeng left, Xia Shige looked up and asked Shen Zehuai softly, "Does this Mr. Zhao have an uncle?"
Shen Zehuai was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head and said, "Zhao Huifeng's father, Zhao Kuntai, is an only child, and his family has been a single-child family for three generations. His grandfather is also an only child. Where did Zhao Huifeng get his uncle from?"
Xia Shige frowned when she heard that. She remembered that Zhao Huifeng told Lu Sixue that he would send her to his uncle's bed. She didn't expect that Zhao Huifeng didn't have an uncle?
Shen Zehuai thought for a moment and continued, "He does have an uncle, and he has always been close to his uncle's family. But... why are you asking this?"
Faced with Shen Zehuai's suspicious gaze, Xia Shige could only vaguely say that he heard about it from Lu Bo and Xu Yilan.
Just when Xia Shige was struggling, the auction began.
The first few items for auction were antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Xia Shige didn’t understand these and had no interest in them.
However, there were many people bidding on the spot. As the saying goes, "Antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold is valuable in troubled times." I didn't expect that even in such troubled times, there are still many wealthy people who are interested in playing with these antiques.
"The next lot is an antique sapphire necklace."
Xia Shige looked up and was slightly stunned. She recognized this necklace.
This is Xu Yilan’s dowry.
Xu Yilan has always treasured this necklace. Xia Shige remembers that Xu Yilan gave this necklace to Lu Sixue in her previous life.
After Lu Sixue got the necklace, she wore it and ran in front of Xia Shige to show off: "Mom said that this necklace was passed down from my great-grandmother to my grandmother, and then from my grandmother to my mother, and now my mother has passed it down to me. Shige, you won't be angry, will you?"
Xia Shige didn't say anything. Xu Yilan on the side explained to Xia Shige awkwardly, "Shige, don't mind it. Sixue is not your biological daughter after all. She has been wronged since she was born. I will try to compensate her more."
Xu Yilan said to Xia Shige sincerely, "Although mom gave the necklace to Sixue, mom will give you more love. You two sisters, one got money, the other got love, it's all good. Shige, you should be more sensible, you can understand mom's painstaking efforts, right?"
