The Rebirth of an Orphan

The two male servants who were named by Zhao Chenyang to slap Zhao Siqi in the face took the boards and hit Zhao Siqi's mouth hard. Zhao Siqi's lips were immediately cracked, and teeth mixed with blood splattered out, and his face was a bloody mess.

The people around were all terrified, and no one dared to come out to plead for mercy.

Zhao Xihua frowned, looking at Zhao Siqi who was beaten, she was not happy at all, but instead felt a little scared.

She slowly set her sights on Gu Lun, looking at his cold and radiant face, she couldn't help wondering, who is this man? Why would he help her? Why do I always run into him? Why am I so unlucky to be targeted by such an unpredictable person?

"Enough, stop!" A clear voice was particularly obvious in the silent night. The third lady, Zhao Chishu, walked up to Deng Xiao from the crowd, staring at him without fear.

Deng Xiao looked at the somewhat cold yet courageous woman in front of him and couldn't help but become interested. As a child of a wealthy family, the young ladies around him were either timid and pretentious or fawning and flattering. The one in front of him felt a little different.

I didn’t expect that there were so many interesting girls in the Zhao family in this small Yuncheng County.

"Master Deng, my second sister said something wrong today and offended you. She has already received the punishment she deserves, but if she continues like this, it will not only be a punishment, but her life will be in jeopardy. Although our Zhao family offended you first, your family is also considered a wealthy family in Kyoto. If someone dies, it will be a small matter to be sued, but it will be troublesome to ruin your family's reputation, right?"

Deng Xiao looked at the sharp-tongued girl in front of him and frowned. He didn't really want to kill that idiot. After all, there was no deep hatred and he shouldn't have done anything so excessive. If his father knew about it, he would definitely give him a good beating.

But he felt that he was innocent, and he didn't want Zhao Siqi to die. He couldn't answer Zhao Chishu's words, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gu Lun. Gu Lun had to avoid everyone's sight and made a stop gesture to Deng Xiao.

Deng Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to the old lady and said, "Madam, my Deng family is not unreasonable. In this case, let's end today's matter here." He didn't want to say anything more polite, so he turned around and left with Gu Lun. Zhao Chenyang also hurriedly followed them and left with fear.

When the old lady saw that they had left, she asked everyone to disperse.

Zhao Ziqin's face looked very ugly. Today, it was Zhao Chishu who came out to clean up the mess at the critical moment, and was praised several times by the old lady. However, she, the eldest sister of the Zhao family, just hid aside, too scared to make a sound. Her performance was really not very good.

However, the look in the eldest wife's eyes when she looked at Zhao Xihua was already filled with a hint of cruelty. Everything was caused by this unlucky girl. It seemed that she could not be kept any longer.

After Zhao Xihua returned to her courtyard, she asked Pingshui with a gloomy face to call Sister Hong, who was responsible for cleaning outside the courtyard. This Sister Hong was a maid specially transferred by the eldest wife a few days ago to save the old lady's face, but Zhao Xihua only arranged her to work outside.

It was the first time that Sister Hong entered Zhao Xihua's room. She knew that the Fourth Miss was on guard against her. After all, she was arranged by the First Madam, and she knew it very well.

"Fourth Miss, what do you want to talk to me about?" Sister Hong asked cautiously, "You should go back to the First Madam from tomorrow. I don't need you here anymore."

Sister Hong looked at Zhao Xihua in disbelief: "Fourth Miss, did I do something wrong? After all, I was arranged by the eldest wife. Although you are the master, you can't let me go without any reason, right?"

Sister Hong's face had already turned red. Who the hell was this Fourth Young Miss? Her tone became sharp. She knew that this Fourth Young Miss, who had always been timid and cowardly and was forgotten by the Zhao family, would definitely not dare to do anything to her.

When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first. She is someone close to the eldest wife, and if the fourth lady wants to punish her, it would be a slap in the face of the eldest wife. Thinking of this, she looked at Zhao Xihua with even more confidence.

But Zhao Xihua didn't speak for a long time, and then slowly said: "Pingshui, is your leg injured? Did she hurt you?"

Pingshui was stunned, and tears almost seeped out. How did her sister know? Indeed, she was stopped by Sister Hong halfway before, and was pushed to the ground by her. Her legs were also scratched, and her sister was almost harmed by the second lady.

She had wanted to keep it a secret, but her sister had noticed the abnormality in her walking.

"Sister, Sister Hong slandered me for stealing her money. I said I didn't steal it, and she deliberately stopped me from leaving. I was anxious to find my sister, so I started to struggle with her. I didn't know she was so strong that she pushed me down and I scratched my leg." Pingshui told Zhao Xihua everything.

Zhao Xihua's face suddenly turned as cold as ice, and she said to Sister Hong in a stern voice, "I definitely don't need you here anymore. If you don't want to leave, I will personally send you there tomorrow."

Sister Hong was really dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the Fourth Young Miss would really dare to break up with the First Madam. She also knew the First Madam's character well. She was ruthless and cold-hearted. If the Fourth Young Miss sent her over tomorrow, she would become a waste in the First Madam's eyes and her life would only get worse and worse.

Sister Hong's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but kneel down in front of Zhao Xi's screen: "Fourth Miss, please, I was anxious because I lost my money, so I misunderstood Ping Shui. It's all my fault. Please forgive me, Fourth Miss. I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me, Fourth Miss."

Zhao Xihua stood up and walked in front of her and laughed: "You don't have to beg me. I won't use someone who is not loyal to me, and I will not use brainless trash. Pingshui, let her get out."

Pingshui agreed and just as she was about to walk out with Sister Hong, Zhao Xihua called her from behind, "What's wrong, sister?" Pingshui asked.

"By the way, send the leftovers that the kitchen gave us to the eldest wife for review." Pingshui was a little confused. How could this sister be so confused? The leftovers left in the kitchen must have been tacitly approved or instructed by the eldest wife. Even if she wanted to complain, she should go to the old lady, right?

Seeing Pingshui's surprised expression, Zhao Xihua smiled faintly: "The Zhao family lost face in front of the young master of the Deng family tonight. The old lady will definitely call my uncle home to discuss countermeasures. What they need to discuss is not the eldest sister's marriage, but the eldest brother's future. If you offend the Deng family, you are seeking death. At this critical moment, I can't make myself unhappy and annoy the old lady."
