The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua looked at Mrs. Gui's exasperated face and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Didn't you say you were not feeling well? I'm doing this for your own good. Pingshui, take her out."

"Yes," Pingshui walked up to Guisao and wanted her to leave, but the man refused to move. Pingshui tried to pull her away, but Guisao dodged her and kept shouting, "Where did you come from, little wild girl? How dare you touch me? Who do you think you are?"

Pingshui smiled faintly and said, "Sister Gui, don't be angry. The young lady is doing this for your own good. Besides, the young lady just removed you from your position as manager. To put it bluntly, it's already a good thing to kick you out just because of your attitude towards the young lady."

"You!" Mrs. Gui didn't expect that the girl next to Zhao Xihua would speak so sharply, which surprised her.

Zhao Xihua's voice also became gloomy. "Sister Gui, you look so aggressive and you don't look like a sick person at all. Speaking of which, our Gu family has its own rules. How should I kick you out according to the rules if you contradict me like this? What do you think?"

After saying that, Zhao Xihua stared at Gui Sao with his deep and cold eyes, which made Gui Sao suddenly feel a little frightened. She stood there feeling extremely uncomfortable, and finally walked dejectedly to the corridor at the gate of the courtyard and stood there.

Zhao Xihua looked at Pingshui and said, "Go and ask Aunt Wang in the second young lady's room and Aunt He in the third young lady's room again."

"Yes." Pingshui understood that her sister was now preparing to set rules for everyone. They all looked down on her because of her background. It seemed that she was determined to make a big deal out of this time.

"Wait, please make it clear that letting them come to see me is not only my request, but also the old man's intention. I don't want to embarrass him."

Zhao Xihua's words immediately made all the stewards standing in the yard gasp. When Madam Hua married into the Gu family, she had to wait for three years before she got the rights of a housekeeper. But now this young lady has only been here for a few days and she's already been taken care of by the old man. Where on earth did this woman get her luck?

After hearing this, Pingshui no longer went alone, but took a few sturdy servants from Dongyuan with him. Before, he was concerned about the face of the young ladies, but now it was in the name of the old man. If they still didn't come, then there would be a legitimate reason to use force.

Sure enough, soon, Wang Ma and He Ma walked into the East Garden with livid faces. Wang Ma stepped forward and greeted Zhao Xihua: "Greetings, Madam. Something delayed me coming late. Please forgive me, Madam."

But Mother He beside her didn't even want to be polite. She just nodded perfunctorily with an unhappy look on her face.

It is precisely because this bitch's own daughter is still imprisoned in the ancestral hall in the back mountain to reflect on her actions that she is now putting on airs here.

Zhao Xihua glanced at the two people in front of her who came with bad intentions. It seemed that if she didn't teach them a lesson today, she would have trouble doing anything in the Gu family, let alone being the head of the family.

She suddenly placed the cup in her hand heavily on the tea table, and then said coldly: "The master called you over, one of you had something to do and the other pretended to be deaf and dumb, what's the matter? What do you think of me as a family keeper? Do I have to spoil you? In this case, from today on, you two will be removed from your positions as managers. If you don't want to do it, there will be people who want to do it."

As soon as Zhao Xihua finished speaking, the stewards standing in the yard were stunned. Is this young lady going to have a complete confrontation with Madam Hua?

Just now, Gui Sao was removed from the eldest daughter's room. Fortunately, the eldest daughter was married, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing even if she moved. But this young mistress actually moved the people in the second and third daughters' rooms, especially He Ma in the third daughter's room, who was a distant relative of Madam Hua. This was a slap in Madam Hua's face.

Wang Ma and He Ma were also somewhat stunned. Wang Ma held back her words, but He Ma could not bear it and started to curse: "Bah, you are just a poor country bumpkin. What right do you have to act so arrogantly here? Do you think you are qualified to dismiss me?"

Zhao Xihua looked at Mother He who was about to break up with him and said with a mocking smile, "As the saying goes, everything happens for a reason. Since the old man has given me the power to be the head of the family, from now on, if I need you to come to Dongyuan, you must come. If you cannot come, you must have a reasonable explanation. What do you mean by this?"

"What's that? You know what you, Zhao Xi Huaan, are up to. Don't think you can just take a feather as your authority. Everyone in the Gu family knows it. Who are you trying to scare?"

Mother He yelled at Zhao Xihua. She just couldn't believe it. The lady of the Gu family was still alive. Would she really be suppressed by a wild girl from the country?

Back then, Mr. Gu also made things difficult for his wife, but he helped her to secure her position. Could it be that a wild girl could be more ruthless than the old man? Today, she wanted to teach this little bitch a lesson. Others might be afraid of her identity, but she was not.

Zhao Xihua was being scolded and pointed at by a servant at this time. If it were an ordinary person, he would have panicked and didn't know what to do. After all, she was a relative of Mrs. Hua and the personal wet nurse of the third young lady, the most favored one in the Gu family. It was really difficult to deal with it if she embarrassed her master like this.

However, Zhao Xihua's expression did not change at all, and she looked even calmer. "Heh—" She did not look at He Ma again, but this made He Ma think that Zhao Xihua was afraid of her.

She looked at Zhao Xihua complacently and sneered, "Madam, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you've only been married into the Gu family for a few days, so you'd better keep a low profile in your life and work."

"Pingshui, go to the ancestral hall and ask for the family rules." Zhao Xihua no longer had the patience to listen to the nonsense of an arrogant person.

Mother He was originally going to give Zhao Xi a hard time and have a good talk, but she didn't expect Zhao Xi to not give her a chance and actually wanted to use the family law? She laughed: @Young Madam, I have never stolen or robbed, and I have never done anything to let down the Gu family. I am not afraid even if you use the family law.

She knew that those who managed the household affairs in the ancestral hall were all people close to Gu Yan, and had long been bribed by Madam Hua. She wanted to see what tricks that bitch could come up with.

Not only Mother He but everyone else thought that the family rules could not be enforced. However, they did not expect that the personal guards of Mr. Gu would soon move to the East Garden with a nanmu box and two wooden sticks wrapped in iron sheets.

He Ma looked a little surprised. Aren't these people managed by people around Gu Yan? How could this happen?

Now everyone knew that Mr. Gu not only handed over all the general affairs of the Gu family to Zhao Xihua, but now even gave her the power of life and death.

"Young Madam," several guards moved the things neatly in front of and behind Zhao Xi's screen, and then stood on both sides of her, staring at the people in the yard with dignified expressions on their faces.
