The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua didn't want to eavesdrop, but she actually heard the conversation between Gu Lun and Sun Xiao here. No matter how she looked at it, she felt a little horrified.

In her previous life, she clearly remembered that after Sun Cong arrived in Kyoto, he followed the Ninth Prince's party and took charge of the police station. He killed many political enemies for the Ninth Prince and was a ruthless person.

But she was also surprised that Sun Cong was just an illegitimate son of the Sun family. How could he have any chance to make friends with the Ninth Prince? Unless his abilities were noticed by some noble person, he would be slowly promoted to that position.

Could it be that the nobleman who secretly promoted Sun Cong was Gu Lun? What kind of background did Gu Lun have to have such great power?

She had never heard of this person in her previous life. Could it be that in this life he has become the biggest variable in changing her fate?

Zhao Xihua didn't dare to stay at this time. Gu Lun's skills were unpredictable. If he found out that she was eavesdropping here, he would definitely be angry. She had never been so afraid of a person before. If she angered him, she didn't know what the consequences would be. Anyway, she would just stay away from this person if she could.

She left carefully, the wound on her arm was stinging, and by the time she returned to the East Garden Villa, her forehead was covered with sweat.

"Sister—" Pingshui and Chunfeng came over and were shocked to see Zhao Xihua's pale face.

Pingshui was about to hold Zhao Xihua's arm, but Zhao Xihua lowered her voice and said, "My left arm is injured. Don't let anyone know. Chunfeng, go close the doors and windows, and Pingshui, go find me some medicine."

Seeing the two girls' faces turn pale with fear, Zhao Xihua quickly softened her expression and whispered, "Don't worry, there hasn't been any trouble yet, and there shouldn't be any such things in the future."

Her top priority was to treat the wound on her arm as soon as possible, otherwise when Gu Lun came back and found out, he would definitely go and cause trouble for Sun Xiao.

She just found out that Sun Cong and Gu Lun were related. She didn't want to tell Gu Lun about Sun Xiao's affairs anymore. She handled what she could handle by herself.

Pingshui and Chunfeng no longer dared to ask questions. They quickly brought the medicine and carefully cut open Zhao Xihua's blood-stained sleeve with scissors.

"Miss," Chunfeng's voice was a little trembling. How could this Young Master Sun hurt Miss like this?

"Don't worry, I did it myself. Don't ask me the reason." Zhao Xihua said calmly.

The young lady was too hard on herself. Chunfeng was a little panicked. This was not the way a normal woman should be. The young lady would definitely leave a scar after this cut. Didn't she even care about this? She had a bad feeling. The young lady seemed to be pushing herself too hard.

Soon the room was filled with a faint smell of medicine. Zhao Xihua asked them to open the doors and windows to let the smell dissipate, then lit some sandalwood in the room. Only then did she lie down on the bed and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

But before the scent of sandalwood could spread, I heard steady footsteps coming from outside. Gu Lun came back so soon?

She didn't know whether Sun Cong said anything in front of Gu Lun, but logically speaking, a smart man like Sun Cong should not get involved in Gu Lun's housework. Thinking of this, Zhao Xihua's heart gradually calmed down.

Gu Lun just stepped into the room and paused. Something strange flashed across his eyes. Then he looked at Zhao Xihua, who was lying on the bed as lazily as a cat.

"Oh, it smells good! Why did Huaer think of lighting sandalwood today?" Gu Lun walked to the bed in a few steps, and without waiting for Zhao Xihua to get up, he lay down beside Zhao Xihua, and then looked at Zhao Xihua.

His eyes were so deep that it was impossible to understand the deep meaning in them. He just stared at Zhao Xihua without blinking.

Zhao Xihua thought something was wrong and wanted to get up, but she didn't expect Gu Lun's hand to be tightly clasped around her wrist. She subconsciously tried to break free, but the wound was agitated and she groaned, but her complexion returned to normal.

Gu Lun pinched Zhao Xihua's wrist with a little force, "Gu Lun, what are you doing?" Zhao Xihua's face changed drastically in pain and she screamed in surprise.

Gu Lun flipped his hand and lifted up the quilt covering Zhao Xihua, revealing the sleeves of her pajamas that were stained with blood. He gritted his teeth and asked Zhao Xihua, "Hua'er, tell me what this means?"

Zhao Xihua wanted to block with her hands but unexpectedly, Gu Lun held her tightly in his arms and she couldn't move. Pingshui and Chunfeng, who were at the door, hurried into the room and wanted to step forward to persuade them.

"Master, the young mistress..."

"Get out if you don't want to die." Gu Lun's face had a rare murderous look, which frightened the two girls.

"You guys go out first," Zhao Xihua couldn't resist Gu Lun's rudeness and could only sigh.

Chunfeng was still a little reluctant, but Pingshui pulled her out carefully and closed the door. Although her sister and brother-in-law were still in a stalemate, Pingshui knew that her brother-in-law would never hurt her sister.

Maybe it's because those involved are more confused than those who are not involved, and her sister may not know it, but she can see clearly that her brother-in-law really cares about her sister.

There were only Zhao Xihua and Gu Lun in the room. Gu Lun loosened his grip on Zhao Xihua's hand, looked at her with a sharp gaze and asked, "She was fine when I left this morning. How come she is like this now?"

Zhao Xihua didn't know how to talk about Sun Xiao. When she was about to say what she had been thinking about for a long time, Gu Lun's voice came over.

"There was such a big scene at home before, those bitches definitely don't dare to provoke you so blatantly now, and those people from the Zhao family who want to harm you haven't come to Kyoto yet, so you shouldn't have any interactions with them for the time being."

He paused and said, "There is no one else who can hurt you like this except Sun Xiao."

Zhao Xihua looked at Gu Lun. His analysis was so accurate and his thinking was so meticulous. He was really a scary person. He was worthy of being the number one military advisor to the Ninth Prince.

Zhao Xihua smiled faintly and said, "Since you have guessed it, why ask again?"

Gu Lun suddenly let go of Zhao Xihua's arm and stood up and walked out the door. "Alan," Zhao Xihua was panicked. She knew what this madman wanted to do. If he stepped out of this door, it would soon be reported that Sun Xiao was dead on the street.

Although Sun Xiao had gone a little too far these times, he had helped her in the past after all, so he couldn't just write it off like that.

She stood up and ran to the door to block Gu Lun, then took a deep breath and said, "Gu Lun, I said before I married you that we are not the same kind of people, and even if we get together, it is for our own interests. We should not interfere with each other's affairs. Now that Sun Xiao and I have dealt with the matter, there will be no trouble in the future. Why do you have to make things difficult for him? This is my business, not yours.

Gu Lun only felt a sharp pain in his chest. It was the first time that someone made him angry. He had experienced all kinds of hardships, but he had never felt such unbearable pain in his heart.

It turns out that she still likes Sun Xiao.
