The Rebirth of an Orphan

Although Gu Xing's attitude of admitting his mistakes was much better than that of Gu Yayu, Zhao Xihua felt that this person was not so easy to deal with. He was so polite, and if Gu Lun and Zhao Xihua continued to stalemate, it would seem that they had no tolerance. This was a really good calculation.

Did he think that in front of so many people, Gu Lun would definitely not be so petty? However, he had calculated Gu Lun's tactics incorrectly.

Zhao Xihua glanced at Gu Lun who was protecting her under his wings and couldn't help but smile secretly. Gu Lun never played by the rules. Gu Xing's little tricks might not be in his eyes at all.

Sure enough, Gu Lun burst out laughing: "Father, when did father and mother adopt such an eloquent person? But the more I listen to some of the words, the more confused I am. Why are they all saying that they are ignorant? When did our Gu family produce so many ignorant idiots? Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you if you tell others this?"

As soon as Gu Lun finished speaking, Gu Xing's face became a little stiff, and the cold and vicious look that flashed across his eyes made people feel frightened. Others didn't see his expression, but the shrewd Gu Lun and Zhao Xihua didn't miss it at all.

Gu Lun paused and said coldly to Jiang Yusheng, "A woman can be so cruel. She must not stay in the Gu family. Come on, kick her out."

Gu Xing and Jiang Yusheng were both dumbfounded. It was just a dog that bumped into the young lady. There was no need to kick the person out, right?

Gu Xing looked at Madam Hua cautiously. He had no status in the Gu family and was suppressed by Gu Lun. He could only ask Madam Hua for help. If Jiang Yusheng was kicked out, it would be a slap in the face of Madam Hua. If she couldn't even take care of her stepson, wouldn't it make her look incompetent?

Jiang Yusheng burst into tears, rushed to Zhao Xihua's front, knelt down, and pulled Zhao Xihua's clothes, crying, "Madam, I really didn't mean it. The dog is a beast after all, and it suddenly went crazy. I really couldn't stop it. Wuuwuwu... Please don't be angry, Madam, and forgive me this time!"

Jiang Yusheng was originally petite, and now she looked a little pitiful when she cried so sadly. If it were in the previous life, Zhao Xihua would definitely let it go, and it would be better to have less trouble than more.

But it’s different now. Seeing that Gu Lun is obviously going to make a big deal out of this matter, how could she let go of this opportunity?

She smiled faintly at the pitiful Jiang Yusheng in front of her and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, you keep saying that the dog is crazy, but I've seen this kind of dog raised by many daughters of wealthy families in Yuncheng, but they are all gentle and obedient. How could they take the initiative to attack people? Could it be that there is something wrong with the dog?"

Gu Lun on the side reacted immediately. This little girl of his was a very shrewd person. Maybe there really was something strange about her.

His face darkened and he said to Gu Yan, "Father, I would like you to arrange for someone to check if there is anything wrong with the dog?"

Gu Yan had already lost his patience and just wanted to get this matter over with as soon as possible. If it continued like this, who knows when it would ever end?

"Butler Wang, can you check if there is anything wrong with the dog?"

Butler Wang has always been following Gu Yan. In Gu Yan's eyes, he is a loyal person. Asking him to check is also hoped that he can be more objective and fair.

"Yes—" the butler responded and walked over to pick up the dead dog from the ground, then began to examine it carefully.

Suddenly, Butler Wang uttered a suppressed exclamation in a low voice, and the people around him became nervous. You know, Butler Wang has been with Gu Yan for a long time and has seen many storms. Looking at his surprised look, it seems that something really happened.

Gu Lun looked at Butler Wang and asked, "What did Butler Wang see?"

The housekeeper hurriedly walked over to Gu Lun and nodded, then whispered to Gu Yan, "Sir, there are actually a row of silver needles pierced into the dog's neck, and the silver needles seem to be poisonous."

Everyone around immediately looked at Jiang Yusheng, whose face had turned completely pale. However, Jiang Yusheng suddenly reacted and looked at Zhao Xihua in front of him, feeling a huge sense of fear.

Gu Lun laughed coldly, "I heard that although Miss Jiang is the daughter of a minor official in the countryside, she thinks she knows some medical skills. I didn't expect that she would come up with such a dirty method to destroy my wife's appearance. Why? Can't you see that my wife is more beautiful than you? Aren't you too jealous?"

"No...it's not me..." Jiang Yusheng's voice trembled. She had just let the dog smell some spices that could make it go crazy. She just wanted to scratch Hua Zhaoxihua's face and did not use any poisonous silver needles at all.

She looked at Zhao Xihua. This woman must have done it. She even turned the tables and framed her.

"No, it's not like that, it's not like that." Jiang Yusheng pointed at Zhao Xihua and said, "No, it's not me, it's her...it's her..."

Gu Lun laughed coldly and said, "Why? You mean that the young lady herself injected the poison and let your dog destroy her appearance?"

Jiang Yusheng couldn't say a word. Although she knew that it was definitely Zhao Xihua's doing, in such a situation, no matter what she said, it would be wrong.

Before, she only knew that Mrs. Hua hated this country woman, so she thought that she could win Mrs. Hua's favor and give her husband more help by bullying her unscrupulously.

She just didn't expect things to turn out like this, and she didn't expect Gu Lun to try so hard to protect that woman. It was obvious that she had underestimated these two people.

But now she was completely helpless. She moved her lips but couldn't utter a word.

Gu Lun stared at Jiang Yusheng, who was already slumped on the sofa, and said coldly: "Do you think my woman is easy to bully just because she came from the countryside? She is my wife, Gu Lun. How can you guys bully my wife?"

His voice darkened, and then he looked at Gu Yan and said, "Father, regarding the murder of the young mistress, how should father deal with it?"

Gu Yan glanced at Madam Hua with a gloomy face, knowing that if he dealt with Jiang Yusheng, he would be disrespecting Madam Hua. However, after all, he was not his own blood, and although Gu Xing was good at scheming, he lacked great wisdom, so he still looked down on him.

Although he also didn't like the girl his son brought from the countryside of Yuncheng, she was his legitimate wife after all, and of course he couldn't let some people from a small family bully her.

"Come here, send this Miss Jiang to the police station. Murdering the young mistress is a serious crime and is not tolerated by the law. Let's do it this way."
