The Rebirth of an Orphan

This time, not only was the Third Madam embarrassed and didn't know what to do, even Zhao Xihua was surprised. After all, Gu Lun's identity didn't require him to treat them like this. But she knew that Gu Lun did this because the Third Madam and Zhao Chishu were the only people who helped her when she was in Yuncheng.

Gu Lun's appearance made the Zhao family shut up, but seeing Gu Lun's special treatment of the mother and daughter of the third room, the fifth lady couldn't hold back her anger.

"Fourth uncle, you should also sympathize with us. It's not easy for us to come here from far away, especially since the old lady hasn't even had time to sit down yet and the fourth girl wants us to leave here. This... Third sister-in-law and the third girl have already made arrangements, but we are all relatives, how can we favor one over the other?"

Gu Lun looked at the Fifth Madam indifferently. Although his girl had not told him about her experiences in the Zhao family, it now seemed that the girl had suffered a lot from the Fifth Madam.

He looked at the Fifth Madam coldly and said, "Compassion? You say my wife doesn't sympathize with your hard work? Have you ever sympathized with her? She has to take care of the affairs of the whole family every day, and she has to spare time every day to make perfume and beauty cream to dress herself up beautifully. How can it be easy for her? How can you sympathize with her busyness and difficulties?"

What is this? Is this to pamper your wife with strength and be jealous of them in front of them?

"Besides, you came to Kyoto because my father-in-law and brother-in-law came to Kyoto to report on their work. This is normal. You said you wanted to come to my house to see the paintings, but how did it become that my paintings invited you to come and asked you to move out? And she is heartless?"

Gu Lun looked at Mrs. Zhao, whose face was slightly pale, and said, "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. Hua'er is the young mistress of my Gu family and also the mistress of my Gu family. It is a favor for me to let you live here, and it is my duty not to let you live here. Of course, except for the third aunt and the third sister, Hua'er always thinks of your kindness, and I, Gu Lun, will think of you too. As for what others have done to Hua, don't you have any idea in your mind?"

The eldest lady's face turned pale. She was really embarrassed because she was scolded in front of her.

Gu Lun continued, "Before she had no one to rely on, you all bullied and humiliated her. Now she is married to me, and I, Gu Lun, am her heaven. No matter if you are from the Zhao family or the Gu family, if anyone bullies her, I can still make them suffer."

The main hall suddenly became dead silent, somewhat depressing and suffocating.

Gu Lun looked at Zhao Chenyang, the eldest son of the Zhao family, who had been shouting before, and sneered, "Zhao Chenyang, your biological sister married the eldest son of the Sun family, and your fourth sister married the future patriarch of the Gu family. Don't you think it's your fault that you are still doing nothing despite such a relationship? To put it bluntly, if I make you the emperor's uncle tomorrow, you will be the worst one."

"You...I..." Zhao Chenyang's face suddenly turned purple. He had never been humiliated like this before, but he really couldn't stand the man in front of him.

"But since you are in Kyoto, please be polite to my Hua'er. At least I will take care of you because you are her family. There is still a vacant position in the Armament Department."

Zhao Chenyang's eyes lit up, and even Mrs. Zhao and Madam Zhao were delighted. The Armament Department was a place where many noble children gathered, and it was also the department with the fastest promotions. Now it seemed that Gu Lun was willing to help. They were about to say something but were stopped by Gu Lun's words.

"But there is one thing you need to remember. How long you can walk on the road of glory depends on my Huaer's mood. If she is happy, we can discuss it. If she is unhappy, I'm sorry, I will make you regret coming into this world."

Old Mrs. Zhao really understood what Gu Lun meant. Judging from Gu Lun's attitude, he was concerned about the fourth girl. Since he was concerned about the third girl, he had a bargaining chip to restrain him. After all, no matter how close the fourth girl was to them, she was still the daughter of the Zhao family. With this relationship, they didn't have to worry about Gu Lun not helping them.

So she stood up, walked in front of Zhao Xiping, held her hand and said, "Fourth girl, it was all grandma's fault before. I didn't care enough about you. I just came to see you today. Seeing that Fourth Uncle-in-law is sincere to you, grandma is relieved. It's getting late, grandma will leave now, but..."

"Fourth girl, although you have married and left the Zhao family, we are still a family that is connected by bones and tendons. You need to pay more attention to your eldest brother's affairs."

Zhao Xihua nodded indifferently. After all, it was all because of her eldest brother's official position. She had long been extremely disappointed with the Zhao family. How could there be any family affection?

Then Old Lady Zhao prepared to take the Zhao family away from the Gu family. Zhao Chishu and the Third Lady were about to leave together but were blocked by Zhao Xihua.

"Third sister, please stay." Zhao Xihua held Zhao Xihua's hand and wanted to say something to her.

Unexpectedly, the Fifth Madam, who had already walked over, pushed Zhao Lingyun, who had deliberately walked to the end, in front of Zhao Ximian and said, "Ling'er, didn't you always say that you wanted to see your fourth sister? Since your third sister is staying, you should stay too. You can stay with your third sister as long as you want. You don't have to worry about mother."

Zhao Xihua was very clear about the Fifth Madam's plan. She just wanted to let Zhao Lingyun live in the Gu family. In case she met some powerful young man in the Gu family, she would be able to solve her lifelong problem.

This is because she has the ambition to marry into a wealthy family!

Zhao Chishu also felt ashamed for the Fifth Madam. It was too speechless that she still insisted on living in the Gu family even though she was despised to this extent.

She quickly held Zhao Xihua's hand and said, "Fourth sister, I'm already in Kyoto now, so I won't miss a moment. I'll go back with mother and meet you again when I have time."

"Third sister, you are just trying too hard." Zhao Lingyun pulled Zhao Chishu and said, "Your health was not good to begin with, and you caught a cold on the way. Even if you go to the place rented by fourth sister, your body may not be able to withstand it. You should stay at Gu's house first and wait until the place is cleaned up before moving in there."

"Third sister, are you catching a cold?" Zhao Xihua hurriedly grabbed Zhao Chishu's hand, and it was indeed cold.

"Come here, quickly prepare guest rooms for Miss Three and Miss Five." Zhao Xihua's voice was full of unquestionable determination. In her previous life, her sister had suffered too much, so how could she let her suffer now?

There was a hint of pride in Zhao Lingyun's eyes. She was determined to stay in the Gu family.

Zhao Xihua forced Zhao Chishu to stay, and then ordered people to prepare a simple guest room for Zhao Lingyun, and arranged Zhao Chishu to live in an elegant small courtyard next to the East Garden.

At night, Zhao Xihua brought people to Zhao Chishu's yard with the cooked medicinal food.

After all, he was living in the Gu family, so Zhao Chishu felt a little cramped. Looking at the place where he lived, even though it was just a guest house, all the decorations were gorgeous and elegant. The Gu family was indeed very wealthy.
