The Rebirth of an Orphan

"Sister, don't you want to take a rest before going? You haven't rested since I asked you to do so?" Pingshui asked, somewhat worried about Zhao Xihua's health.

Zhao Xihua smiled bitterly and said, "I have just established my authority. If I don't make every effort to sort out this mess, how can I have a peaceful life in the future? Since you let me manage the family, then I will manage it well. I won't be the kind of idiot who eats and drinks all day long."

Pingshui nodded. Although she felt sorry for Zhao Xihua, she still went to ask Mr. Dong. Mr. Dong was an old man around Mr. Gu. He was the most qualified and clear person to help Zhao Xihua check the accounts.

After a while, Mr. Dong followed behind Zhao Xihua and watched her take the keys given to her by Mr. Gu and open the doors of the Gu family's main warehouse one by one.

Looking at Zhao Xihua's flamboyant and domineering personality and her calmness in the face of danger, Mr. Dong, who had experienced many worldly experiences, couldn't help but nod secretly. Such a person is the most suitable hostess for this place.

It took her most of the day to check the warehouse. By the time she had counted everything, it was already very late when she returned to Dongyuan. She was exhausted.

Maybe she was too tired, she didn't eat much, and fell into a deep sleep after drinking some soup.

There were hurried footsteps outside. It was Gu Lun who came back. As soon as he entered the East Garden, he was greeted by people all the way, but he ignored them completely. He just walked into Zhao Xihua's bedroom eagerly with a smile on his face.

What Zhao Xihua said today has spread throughout the Gu family compound, and now everyone is a little scared when talking about this young lady.

Well done, the woman he chose did not disappoint him, she is a powerful character, well done!

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Pingshui and Chunfeng quickly came to greet him, "My son-in-law is back?"

"Where is your young lady? Has she eaten? What did she eat?" Gu Lun asked these trivial questions with a smile on his face.

"Son-in-law, the young lady might be tired today and has fallen asleep now. She didn't eat much, just a bowl of soup, and nothing else."

After hearing this, Gu Lun tiptoed into the inner room, then came to Zhao Xihua's bed and looked at the pretty face sticking out from the quilt.

Her brows were tightly knitted, with a hint of sadness that was not suitable for a girl of her age. Gu Lun's previous sense of pride suddenly disappeared, and all that was left in his eyes was heartache.

He raised his slender hand and slowly stroked Zhao Xihua's forehead, helping to calm the sadness between her brows.

"Zhao Xihua, you bitch, come out here." Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside, followed by the fierce roar of the third lady of the Gu family.

Soon a group of people rushed to the gate of East Garden. Pingshui and Chunfeng didn't want to disturb Zhao Xihua, but they didn't expect that it was already late at night and Miss Gu not only came out of the ancestral hall, but also rushed to East Garden in a menacing manner.

Gu Yayu kicked open the main door of Dongyuan and said, "Zhao Xihua, you bitch, how could I have such a deep hatred against you that you dared to kill my wet nurse? Mother He is gone now, I want you to pay with your life."

What? Mother He died? She looked only seriously injured before, so she shouldn't die so soon, right? This is a bit troublesome.

Zhao Xihua was already very sleepy, and she didn't expect Gu Yanyu to make such a big fuss. She woke her up suddenly, and when she opened her eyes, she was stunned.

She saw Gu Lun sitting on the bed, with a cold look on his body and a depressed look. He raised his hand to hold down his body, looked at Zhao Xihua and whispered, "You continue to sleep. I'll take care of anything. You don't have to pay attention to it."

Zhao Xihua was stunned. At this time, Gu Yayu's voice outside came in clearly. Even if Zhao Xihua wanted to ignore it, it was impossible.

"Pingshui, what happened outside?"

Pingshui, who was standing at the door, responded and walked out. Not long after, she came into the room and looked at Gu Lun's gloomy face. She still insisted, "Sister, Mother He...is dead. Now the Third Miss is in the yard and wants you to give an explanation."

"What do you want to say?" Gu Lun laughed coldly, "If I were here, I would beat her to death if she insulted my master in person. Third Grandma only used the family law to punish her, which is already a mercy for her."

Pingshui heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Gu Lun stood on the young lady's side, this hurdle shouldn't be so difficult. However, since He Ma is related to Madam Hua, she might be a little difficult to deal with.

Gu Lun held Zhao Xihua's shoulders with both hands and looked at her distressedly and said, "Hua'er, lie down and rest quickly. I'll go out and deal with it. You don't have to pay any attention to it."

Zhao Xihua pushed Gu Lun's hand away and slowly sat up: "I was the one who caused the trouble, what's the point of hiding? I will hide behind you when something goes wrong in the future, how can I gain a foothold in the Gu family?"

Gu Lun looked at the pretty woman in front of him with a determined face, and his heart paused slightly. He thought that meeting her might have used up all his luck in life. It was great that he liked this kind of spirit in her.

"In this case, I will face it together with you." Then he raised his hand to help Zhao Xihua tidy up the fine hair on her forehead, and then helped her put on a windbreaker before walking out of the bedroom together.

When Zhao Xihua and Gu Lun walked to the main hall on the first floor, they saw Gu Yanyu holding a big knife and standing in the front yard of East Garden with a menacing look. Behind him was a large group of people, led by Mrs. Qian, who was beside Mrs. Hua.

"Zhao Xihua, why did you kill my wet nurse? Even though you married into the Gu family and became a young lady and were favored by my brother, you can't just kill people casually, right? You must explain it to me clearly today. Although Mother He is old and sometimes says the wrong thing, she shouldn't be killed by you. Why are you so cruel?"

Haha, Mother He insulted her, the young lady, in front of so many people, but she just brushed it off so lightly. However, she didn't expect that Mother He would die so soon. It was quite surprising.

But things have already happened, and Zhao Xihua is not a timid person. She would like to hear what Gu Yanyu has to say.

But before Zhao Xihua could say anything, a strong wind blew up behind him, and suddenly Gu Lun leaped out and slapped the blade that Gu Yanyu was pointing at Zhao Xihua.

Gu Yanyu screamed and staggered back, then looked in horror at the precious sword in her hand that was broken by Gu Lun's slap.

This was her favorite knife, and it was a trophy captured by her father Gu Yan on the battlefield. It was an honor given to her by her father. She didn't expect it to be destroyed by Gu Lun.

"You..." Gu Yayu's face turned pale. Gu Lun's powerful skills were filled with murderous intent, which made her feel fearful. The aggressive momentum just now disappeared in an instant.

"Gu Yayu, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you should be more sensible now. Let's not talk about how you sneaked out of the ancestral hall. I can punish you for pointing this knife at your sister-in-law."

"What a strong pressure! Who are they going to deal with?" Suddenly, the crowd at the door dispersed, and Gu Yan and Mrs. Hua walked in, surrounded by the crowd.
