The Rebirth of an Orphan

His voice got lower and lower as he looked at the cradle and said, "Then the eldest sister-in-law adopted me and raised me until I was 5 years old. Then I met my master, who took me to a place... Forget it, it's all in the past."

Zhao Xihua saw that he clearly had a lot to say, but where did he go after he was 5 years old? She saw that Gu Lun seemed to be very resistant to that experience, and she was too embarrassed to ask any further. She just felt that the softest part of her heart seemed to be troubled by Gu Lun's experience, and it was a little painful.

Gu Lun took his hand off the cradle, then walked to Zhao Xi's painting and said solemnly, "Hua'er, if you were in my position, could you let Hua Lan Na Zhu go? Everything she has now belongs to my mother. How could she get it? I know this is none of your business, but since we are allies, can I beg you to help me drive Hua Lan Na Zhu out of the Gu family completely."

Zhao Xihua looked at the tall man in front of her. He actually used the word "beg". She had ten thousand reasons to refuse, but she instantly acquiesced. Maybe the story just now touched her, or maybe her heart was still warm.

Gu Lun looked at Zhao Xihua again and said, "In return, your master's blood feud and your responsibility will from now on also be my, Gu Lun's, blood feud and responsibility. How about that?

Zhao Xihua took a deep breath and laughed: "Gu Lun, I, Zhao Xihua, am not an easy person to get along with, and my methods are very vicious. I will never admit that I am a good person. If I want to be a villain in the Gu family compound in the future, I think I can still give it a try."

Gu Lun showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but before he could say anything, Zhao Xihua continued, "But let's be frank, the Gu family and you... are not my final destination. After this is done, we can go our separate ways, how about that?"

Gu Lun was stunned. He felt a little sad when looking at Zhao Xihua. This girl was really heartless. No matter how he treated her, she just wanted to leave him. However, the person who falls in love first is the most humble. But how could Gu Lun let the person he liked escape so easily? It was just that matters of the heart needed to be taken slowly.

He sighed silently and said to Zhao Xihua: "Okay, what about the Gu family's matter?"

"Okay," Zhao Xihua said, taking over Gu Lun's words, "I understand what you're thinking. Madam Hua should pay back what she owes your mother."

Gu Lun felt much more relieved. This was the good thing about this girl. She dared to speak and act and was not afraid of any difficulties or storms. He really liked her character.

Gu Lun pulled Zhao Xihua out of the cabin and slowly walked in the woods. Looking at the plum blossoms in the woods, he smiled bitterly and said, "Zhao Xihua, you don't know how many people wish I were dead. I used to be a loner and never worried about anyone being able to hold something against me, but..."

He looked at Zhao Xihua beside him and continued in a low voice: "But I am not so confident now. You also know that I followed the Ninth Prince. Since the day I followed him, I have embarked on a path of no return. The Third Prince is a ruthless person. His methods are far more cruel than what you have seen. You will slowly learn about it in the future."

Zhao Xihua actually understood Gu Lun's situation very well. All the battles for the throne had not been smooth sailing, and Gu Lun's life and death actually hung on a thin line.

"The Third Prince has the support of the Queen Mother and the protection of the Ling family's million-strong army. It will be difficult for us to win!" Gu Lun's expression was deep and somewhat bitter.

Zhao Xihua suddenly remembered the strange look on Queen Mother Wang's face when she looked at her, and her bad attitude towards her. In this case, she had to stand on Gu Lun's side, as if she and Gu Lun were born to be tied together, and would live and die together.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xihua felt confused again. Was she coming to Kyoto for Gu Lun or for herself?

Zhao Xihua suddenly thought of her elder sister-in-law who raised her until she was five years old. How is she doing? She asked, "How is your wet nurse? Now that you have the conditions, why don't you take her to the Gu family and repay her well?"

Gu Lun sighed: "My mother didn't let anyone know about their relationship in order to protect my wet nurse. If she were allowed to enter the Gu family, would Madam Hua still let her go?"

Zhao Xihua nodded: "I understand, you will protect the people you care about very well."

"Yes, the people I care about are my weak points. I don't want to be controlled by others, including you. After the matter is done, I will arrange your life well and won't let you suffer any grievances. I can guarantee this."

Zhao Xihua was really surprised. She was actually someone that Gu Lun cared about. Would she become Gu Lun's handle?

She smiled faintly: "Gu Lun, you have to remember one thing." She looked at Gu Lun, her eyes were as clear as the brightest stars in the sky, making people's hearts palpitate a little.

She spoke word by word, "Gu Lun, I, Zhao Xihua, will never be anyone's weak spot, nor will I allow myself to become one. I have killed people, I have hurt people, I am a bad person, that's all. You won't like someone like me, so don't worry that I will drag you down. When we stand together, we are allies fighting side by side. Don't be serious about me, because... there is no result and no future for us. Forget it, let's go back."

Gu Lun's eyes twinkled and he laughed, "What should I do? I am also a bad guy, and I like bad guys like you. I think it would be really interesting if the two of us were bad together."

"Ha...haha..." Gu Lun laughed and took Zhao Xihua into the car and sped towards the Gu family compound.

The next morning, Zhao Xihua had just gotten up and packed up when Wang Rengui, the Gu family's chief steward, came over with his men carrying a large box of account books.

The servants in the East Garden who had been busy before had never seen such a scene, and they all stood aside unconsciously and looked at Butler Wang.

Although the account book is now in the care of the young mistress, Mrs. Hua should at least help take a look and tell her what are the important and important issues to pay attention to during the handover? Just carrying it in without saying anything, what is this?

I saw seven more large boxes being carried in one after another, together with the previous box, there were eight boxes in total, lined up neatly in the corridor in front of the main hall, suddenly making the yard in front seem cramped.

Aren't so many account books embarrassing? Not to mention managing them, just reading them one by one would drive me crazy. I knew Mrs. Hua would deliberately make things difficult for me, but I didn't expect this?

Zhao Xihua stood up and looked at the account books, but a smile appeared on her face. Is this Mrs. Hua's counterattack? It's too childish, isn't it?

Pingshui, who was standing by, was a little panicked. How long would it take to finish looking at so many account books? Isn't this embarrassing?
