The Rebirth of an Orphan

Chapter 11 Mother’s Relics

Of course Zhao Xihua noticed that cold gaze, but she didn't care at all and didn't want to pay attention to it. She knew that no matter how ruthless Zhao Siqi was, she was just a brainless person. However, she had to be on guard against Zhao Lingyun beside her.

Seeing Zhao Xihua had walked away, Zhao Lingyun stopped and laughed softly: "Don't be angry, Second Sister. Fourth Sister has indeed won the old lady's favor recently. There is nothing we can do about it. After all, we don't know how to make tea."

"Alas," Zhao Lingyun sighed deliberately again, "Originally, I couldn't go to the Sun family's banquet this time. The remaining places should be arranged in order from oldest to youngest, so that it would be fair. I thought Second Sister would definitely get a place, but who knew... who knew... forget it!"

After Zhao Lingyun said this, Zhao Siqi hated Zhao Xihua even more in her heart, and her facial features were twisted with anger.

Zhao Lingyun covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, "Second sister, please don't be angry. I just can't talk and can't comfort people. So, I see the lotus flowers in the lotus pond in the back garden are blooming, so I'll invite a few sisters to enjoy the flowers. But forget about the fourth sister, she's a landlubber, it would be a pity if she accidentally falls in."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and deliberately patted her lips, "My mouth just doesn't know how to speak. I hope all of us sisters can be safe and sound."

Zhao Xihua doesn't have as many thoughts in her mind as those girls. In this life, many things didn't go as they did before, and she didn't know what went wrong?

There was one thing she had been thinking about all along. Her fate as an orphan was so unlucky. The old lady knew it, so why would she let her attend the event? And she specifically asked her to go? If she really wanted to find a good marriage for her, she would never believe it.

All the slightly better-off families in Yuncheng would dislike her unlucky fate, not to mention the children of the aristocratic families from the big city of Kyoto. Why is this? Zhao Xihua was puzzled and felt uneasy.

She wanted to calm down and think about the reason carefully, but at this time a familiar maid came and said to her carefully: "Fourth Miss, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond in the back garden are blooming today. Second Miss is happy to see them, so she prepared some wine and snacks. She wants to invite all the ladies to the back garden to appreciate the flowers. She specially asked me to come and invite Fourth Miss."

Hmm? The second sister who hated her to the core had changed her mind? She even specially came to invite her? She didn't believe she would be so kind.

Zhao Xihua stared at the maid with stern eyes. The maid's face turned pale and blue. She was too nervous to look up at her. Tiny beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her hands were subconsciously clasped together. This Fourth Young Miss was really weird. How could she suddenly become a different person after a serious illness?

But thinking of the Second Young Lady's vicious face and the task assigned to her, she could not say anything wrong in order to protect herself.

After a long while, Zhao Xihua finally smiled faintly: "Second sister is really a sentimental person. Since she thinks highly of me and invites me, I have to attend no matter what, otherwise Second sister will blame me for not showing me respect. Pingshui, Second sister is treating us, we can't be stingy, you should take out our good tea and prepare it later."

"Okay," Pingshui agreed, but she was confused in her heart. Isn't my sister very smart? Why did she suddenly become confused? The second young lady hated my sister to the core. My sister must know that this must be a trap, but she still insisted on falling into it. Why? Pingshui couldn't help but worry.

After hearing what Zhao Xihua said, the maid's nervous expression relaxed and she immediately laughed: "The moonlight is very beautiful tonight. The second lady wants the fourth lady to eat less for dinner. There are snacks prepared over there. Please go over early."

"Oh? In the evening?" Who would arrange a flower viewing party in the evening? Zhao Xihua sneered, and the maid became nervous again, and quickly said goodbye and turned away. Watching the maid leave in a panic, Pingshui walked up to Zhao Xihua and whispered, "Sister, you have to be careful, they are not so kind, and now they suddenly invite you, they must have some bad intentions, sister, be careful!"

Zhao Xihua looked at Pingshui who was anxious, and a warm feeling rose in her eyes. She held Pingshui's hand and said, "Pingshui, since the moment I stepped into the main building, no one would tolerate me. But think about it, if I hide once today, there will be a second and third time. It's useless to hide blindly. The only solution is to counter the moves and hit them head-on."

Pingshui opened her mouth and hesitated to speak. After her sister's serious illness, she seemed like a different person. She was no longer timid and cowardly, but had a different kind of sharp edge. Seeing the calm expression on Zhao Xihua's face and the faint majesty on her body, she felt relieved.

Maybe my worry was really unnecessary, so I said, "Then you must be careful." Zhao Xihua nodded, and suddenly thought of something and said to Pingshui, "I remember my mother left a mahogany box before she died. Please help me find it and move it to my place."

The score of Guangling San was taken out from that box. Before her rebirth, she was resentful towards her mother. Why did she try so hard to give birth to her and then not care about her? She was also born on such a horrible day as July 15th, and made her suffer pain and torture with such a reputation.

Before her mother passed away, she asked an old servant to leave her a box. Because she had a grudge against her mother, she did not value her mother's belongings and did not bother to look through the box carefully. At most, she just took out the music score on the top to play with it.

And that was only because she was confined to the small courtyard for a long time and could not go out. Life was so hard that she could only spend those boring days reading books and playing the piano. Until she was married to the Sun family, she did not take good care of her mother's belongings. I don't know where those things disappeared later? Who did they get the advantage of?

Not long after, Pingshui called a maid who was responsible for cleaning to carry the box into the room. Zhao Xihua stared at the box in front of her. This box should be all the belongings that woman left for her. She used to have some resentment towards this mother whom she had never met, but now after being reborn, she has become indifferent to everything and feels that all the resentment has disappeared.

Instead of complaining about her poor background and blaming her relatives who gave birth to her and raised her, she might as well take a good look at how she should walk the path of her life.

She had experienced too much suffering in the Sun family. Now that God had given her another chance, she would love herself well, be kind, treat her life well, and treat those who were good to her well, so that her second life would not be in vain.
