The Rebirth of an Orphan

"Father—" Gu Xing looked at the father he had just acknowledged who held a high position. He and Jiang Yusheng were childhood sweethearts and had some feelings for each other. If this matter was really handled publicly, Jiang Yusheng would definitely go to jail, and his life might be ruined. He might even lose his life in an accident.

Yu Sheng was indeed a little impatient today, but he was sure that those poison needles were not made by Yu Sheng. She must have been tricked by that woman Zhao Xihua.

But now seeing that Gu Lun was determined to kill Yu Sheng, Gu Xing hardened his heart and knelt in front of Gu Yan and said, "Father, Yu Sheng was guilty of not keeping an eye on his dog, which led to such consequences. However, Yu Sheng would never do anything to hurt the young lady. It is hard to say where the silver needle came from, and now a big mistake has been made..."

Gu Xing suddenly stood up and walked in front of Jiang Yusheng, quickly drawing his knife. With a scream from Jiang Yusheng, half of Jiang Yusheng's bloody palm was cut off and fell to the ground.

Everyone around gasped, and several timid maids screamed. Jiang Yusheng had fainted from the pain, but no one dared to help her.

Mrs. Hua, who was watching coldly from the side, looked at Gu Xing's cold and ruthless face, but a smile appeared at the corner of her lips. She thought that Gu Xing was just an obedient coward, but she didn't expect that he had some ruthlessness. It seems that she can still use him.

Now that Gu Xing has been forced to this point by Gu Lun, he must hate Gu Lun. It will be fine as long as he hates this bastard.

So she glanced at Jiang Yusheng who had fainted and said, "Master, as the saying goes, you should forgive others when you can. It's just a dead dog. Why make a fuss about it? After all, if this matter gets out of hand, it will ruin the reputation of our Gu family. Master, you see..."

Gu Yan coughed and came back to his senses from the shock. He didn't expect that his stepson had such a ruthless side. He actually looked up to him.

Their Gu family is a military family, and their children are all wolves, not sheep. Now seeing Madam Hua begging for mercy, it is not easy to refuse her face, so he looked at Gu Lun and said, "Lun'er, father knows you are angry, but now one of you has entered a nunnery in the suburbs, and the other has a broken hand. What else do you want your father to give you?"

Gu Lun did not expect that Gu Xing would suddenly do this and be so cruel as to cut off Jiang Yusheng's hand in exchange for her life. It seems that this man is more powerful than he thought.

Zhao Xihua was secretly thinking in her heart that Gu Xing was a ruthless person and definitely not someone he could be easily dealt with.

But today's matter probably ends here. Sure enough, Gu Lun looked at Gu Xing and said, "In this case, today's matter ends here, but I only have one thing to say to you."

"Please speak, brother." Gu Xing's expression was very respectful, but his slightly lowered eyes could not reveal his depth.

Gu Lun pointed at Jiang Yusheng on the ground and said, "When she wakes up, tell her that my wife, Gu Lun, cannot be bullied."

His voice was loud and powerful, and the expressions of the people who were listening changed, but they dared not say anything anymore. After all, the bloody facts just now told them that Zhao Xihua should not be offended easily, otherwise it would cost them their lives.

Zhao Xihua didn't expect Gu Lun to say this. The words "Gu Lun's wife cannot be bullied" really touched her.

She has been struggling on the edge of the cycle of fate, carrying the blood feud of past and present lives, and has always been moving forward alone. She didn't expect that now she is being held in the palm of someone's hand and cared for. This feeling is so strange and warm.

Gu Lun glanced at Madam Hua calmly and said, "Hualer is injured and needs some time to recuperate, so starting tomorrow she won't have to come to visit her mother every day. You don't have to bother arranging her meals. I have set up a small kitchen in the East Garden Villa where Huaer lives. She will eat in her own room in the future and won't come to the main building anymore."

"Master, I am the young mistress's mother-in-law after all. What kind of rule is this..." Mrs. Hua was still thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhao Xihua coming to visit and eat with her every day to teach her a lesson, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't even have this opportunity.

Gu Yan was already upset because of all these messy things, but he didn't expect Mrs. Hua was still nitpicking. Just as he was about to say something, Gu Lun unexpectedly took up the conversation again.

"Mrs. Hua, if you want Hua'er to visit you every day, it's not impossible. But we have been worshipping my mother's portrait in our house. Why don't we ask someone to move my mother's portrait to the main building? In this way, Hua'er can visit the living and the dead every day. Is that okay?"

"You..." Mrs. Hua's face turned pale immediately, and she moved her lips but couldn't say a word.

Gu Yan also frowned and said, "Lan'er, I have too many official duties recently, so I won't be home these days. You are also a mother-in-law, so don't bother with the younger generation."

Mrs. Hua's face changed drastically when she heard this, as if she didn't know Gu Yan. For the first time, she felt a little panicked.

Zhao Xihua, who was watching coldly from the side, showed a hint of sarcasm on her face. This woman's mischief would eventually cause men to dislike her.

No matter how deep the love is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time. Gu Lun brought her back to the Gu family, presumably to disturb the Gu family and upset Gu Yan. If Mrs. Hua is a smart person, she can't rely on Gu Yan's love to be arrogant, after all, they are both so old.

Mrs. Hua's face froze, but she immediately smiled and said, "Since you have a lot of official business, you must go and do your work. Just be careful not to overwork yourself."

Gu Yan's expression eased a little, and he nodded and said: "Okay, I'm tired too, let the children leave."

"yes-"

Gu Lun gently held Zhao Xihua's hand and was about to step out of the house, but he turned around and looked at Gu Yanyu who was standing next to Madam Hua with an embarrassed face and said, "Gu Yanyu, I hope you understand that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. You are still a little naive to act in front of your sister-in-law. If you want to show off, turn left and go back to your own home. But I heard that your eldest son has recently fallen in love with a dancer in a nightclub. What you should do is to win back your man's heart instead of running to your own family to make trouble."

As soon as Gu Lun finished speaking, Gu Yanyu's face turned pale. She had originally married the eldest daughter-in-law of a high-ranking official family, but her husband was too romantic, fond of beautiful women, and had caused many jokes in Kyoto.

This matter had always bothered her, but now that Gu Lun had spoken out in front of everyone, she felt that she had lost all her face and could not stay in her parents' home for even a day.

Gu Lun had said everything, and how to digest it was up to them. He didn't care about that. He just took Zhao Xihua and got on the sightseeing bus and drove towards Dongyuan where they lived.
