The Rebirth of an Orphan

Gu Lun really drank too much and did not get up the next day. Zhao Xihua asked someone to take good care of him. She also cooked some lighter porridge herself and simmered it over a low fire, and asked Chunfeng to be in charge. He really did not trust others with his diet, and now that the Xuantie Order was in Gu Lun's hands, he had to be even more careful.

After she finished all these, she changed her clothes, put on a white fox fur coat, and walked out of East Garden with Pingshui.

It snowed heavily last night, but it cleared up this morning. A red plum blossom in full bloom at the door made Zhao Xihua couldn't help but smile. The white snow and the red plum blossoms matched well, and the scenery was really beautiful.

Pingshui, who was standing beside her, was also stunned by Zhao Xihua's smiling face. Her elder sister, who was extremely thin and tortured in the Zhao family before, could not hide her pretty appearance. Now, after being married to her son-in-law for half a year, she eats well, sleeps well, and is in a good mood. She is even more beautiful and looks even better against the backdrop of the snow.

"Why are you staring at me?" Zhao Xihua looked at Pingshui who was in a daze and laughed.

Pingshui smiled and said, "I just think my sister is so beautiful."

"Okay, let's go. Don't be late and get gossiped about." Zhao Xihua said calmly.

Pingshui responded and followed Zhao Xihua out of the Gu family's gate. But when they got to the door, they saw that there was more than one car at the door. The second young lady of the Gu family was standing at the door waiting in a gorgeous and exquisite yellow coat.

Gu Xianyu is a scheming person. She has reached the age of marriage. She had high standards before and definitely wanted to pick a good one. But now, because her mother and sister's reputation has been damaged, her marriage is in crisis and her value is not as high as before.

She actually hates her sister-in-law very much now, but for the sake of her marriage, she needs this woman to take her with her when she wants to go out for social events.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Gu Xianyu hurried forward to greet Zhao Xihua when he saw her.

The moment Zhao Xihua saw Gu Xianyu, she knew what she was thinking. The Ling family was the largest family in the country, and the plum blossom viewing banquet they held would definitely be attended by many young people from aristocratic families. Gu Xianyu definitely wanted to attend the plum blossom viewing banquet, and if she could meet a noble young man, she could also have a good relationship.

Pingshui looked at Zhao Xihua. How could Gu Xianyu be so ignorant? If she wanted to go, why didn't she come and tell her young lady yesterday? After all, the young lady was the young lady of the Gu family. If she didn't want to take her with her, no one would say anything.

I didn't expect that she would park the car at the door without asking for permission. Was this a warning to the young lady? Did she calculate that the young lady had to take her with her? If she didn't take her with her, she would be accused of being narrow-minded and ruining her sister-in-law's marriage, right?

Zhao Xihua looked at Gu Xianyu in front of her with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her lips. This woman was much more scheming than her mother. If she didn't take her with her, it would be unreasonable for her as her sister-in-law. The only option now was to take her with her.

"I thought my second sister didn't like crowds before. I don't know when my sister changed her personality. It's my sister-in-law who didn't think it through. Since my second sister has prepared the car, how can I not take you with me?"

How could Gu Xianyu not hear the sarcasm in Zhao Xihua's voice? However, the situation was different at the moment and she couldn't make any rebuttal.

"It was Xianyu who was inconsiderate. She should have informed my sister-in-law before. But Xianyu thought that my sister-in-law was so reasonable that she wouldn't hold on to my mistakes, right? Sister-in-law?"

Zhao Xihua smiled faintly and did not respond to Gu Xianyu's provocation. She didn't want to delay here with this man any longer. If she went to Ling's house too late, it would be embarrassing.

She walked directly to her car and when she was about to get in, she lowered her voice and said to Gu Xianyu: "Gu Xianyu, since you are following me, you should behave yourself. I can also help you with your future wedding. If you are as ignorant as Gu Yayu, remember that I am your sister-in-law. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. I am also half your elder. You know the consequences of offending me."

Gu Xianyu was frightened by Zhao Xihua's arrogant tone. This bitch was so arrogant, but even if she was dissatisfied in her heart, she was still shocked by Zhao Xihua's momentum. She could only purse her lips and get in her car.

When Zhao Xihua and their car were about to arrive at the Ling family's house, she looked forward from the car window and suddenly took a breath.

The Ling family in front of us is built on the mountain, with layers of pavilions and towers, magnificent and majestic, almost like another presidential palace.

Zhao Xihua finally understood why President Mo Yuan hated the Ling family so much. It was said that the land of the Ling family was given to them by the Queen Mother herself, so naturally she raised Ling Qian as a half-son. No, Mo Yuan didn't care about Ling Qian as much as he did.

The car finally squeezed through the traffic and stopped at the gate of the Ling family. The gate was already full of cars carrying women from other aristocratic families, making it look particularly lively.

As soon as Zhao Xihua's car stopped, someone came out to greet her. It was Mrs. Guan who had delivered the invitation earlier. She smiled when she saw Zhao Xihua: "Young Madam is here? Madam was just talking about Young Mistress."

Zhao Xihua smiled and nodded: "Thank you Madam Ling for still thinking about Huaer. Pingshui, take down the gift I brought to Madam Ling."

The gift Zhao Xihua prepared for Mrs. Ling was the inkstone that she carefully selected in Mobaozhai, because she heard that Mrs. Ling had learned to write calligraphy since she was a child, and this gift should be to her liking.

Gu Xianyu also got out of the car, but when Mrs. Guan saw her, her face looked a little unhappy, so she handed her over to other servants to receive her, and she personally led Zhao Xihua to Mrs. Ling's residence in the backyard.

When Zhao Xihua followed Mrs. Guan through a plum forest in the front yard, they ran into several noblemen, even the third prince Mo Yunlu and his companion Ling Zhi.

It was perfectly normal for the Third Prince to appear at the Ling family, but now they bumped into each other so abruptly and he couldn't just avoid them. He could only step forward and greet him naturally: "Hello, Third Prince!"

The Third Prince calmed himself down and waved his hand at Zhao Xihua, saying, "Madam Gu, there is no need to be so polite."

Zhao Xihua then greeted Ling Zhi again, but Gu Xianyu, who had been following behind Zhao Xihua, could no longer move. She had never seen such a handsome and heroic man. She had heard of the heroic name of the Young General of the Ling family a long time ago, and now seeing him with her own eyes, Gu Xianyu was instantly shocked.

Gu Xianyu's heart almost jumped out, and her eyes turned to Ling Zhi with passion and affection. She looked at Ling Zhi eagerly, hoping that Zhao Xihua would let her talk to him.

But after Zhao Xihua finished the greetings, she turned sideways and looked at Gu Xianyu and said, "Xianyu, it's getting late. We have to go and pay our respects to Madam Ling, otherwise it will be too late."
