The Rebirth of an Orphan

"Oh," Gu Xianyu smiled faintly, "Fifth Miss, you are worrying too much. So what if he likes you? There is no law that says a sister can't like her brother-in-law. Although your sister is liked by my brother now, you can't guarantee that he will get tired of her after a long time. What man doesn't like a graceful, gentle and considerate woman?"

"Fifth Miss, you need to grasp your own happiness. If you need any help, just let me know. It's getting late. Bye."

Zhao Xihua was lying on the bed flipping through a few pages of a book when she saw Pingshui hurriedly walk in from outside. She said anxiously, "Sister, Princess Mingyue is here and wants to see my son-in-law. She was originally stopped by the family's personal guards, but Princess Mingyue insisted on breaking in and is now heading towards the East Garden."

Zhao Xihua sat up quickly, put on a coat and left the bedroom. As soon as she reached the main hall on the first floor, she ran into Princess Mingyue in a fiery red dress.

"Gu Lun, come out here. What's the point of hiding? Get out here!"

Princess Mingyue was really angry. Just as she raised her foot to kick open the door of East Garden, she bumped into Zhao Xihua's pretty face.

Princess Mingyue didn't expect that the first person she met when she broke into Gu's house was not Gu Lun but Zhao Xihua. Seeing her occupying the place where Gu Lun lived made her feel very upset. The only remaining dignity made her force herself to calm down.

"Your Highness, is there something important that brings you here so late?" Zhao Xihua did not get a response from Princess Mingyue, and the atmosphere became a little cold for a moment.

Zhao Xihua was somewhat helpless. After all, she was Gu Lun's old friend, so she could only say, "Gu Lun is practicing in the garden in the backyard. Pingshui, you take His Highness there."

Princess Mingyue was a little surprised that Zhao Xihua would make such an arrangement. She snorted coldly and said, "What I hate most is hypocritical people like you. Wait until Gu Lun and I settle the old scores, and then I will tear off the hypocritical veil on your face."

After seeing Princess Mingyue off, Zhao Xihua was a little uneasy. She had just returned to her bedroom and picked up a book to read before Pingshui came in again.

"Sister, your brother-in-law wants you to come over." Pingshui's eyes were filled with joy.

Just now she brought Princess Mingyue to the place where her brother-in-law practiced martial arts, but she didn't expect that her brother-in-law would order her to invite the young mistress over, and said that it was inappropriate to meet a woman outside late at night and that the lady needed to be present.

Pingshui didn't dare to look into Princess Mingyue's eyes, that expression clearly meant to kill someone. But in her heart, she was happy for her sister, at least her brother-in-law had her sister in his heart, so what if she was a princess of a country.

Why did Gu Lun call her over? Zhao Xihua frowned, and Pingshui hurriedly whispered, "Sister, why don't you go over and take a look? You can't guess what the son-in-law is thinking here, so why not go over and take a look first."

Zhao Xihua nodded, then packed up, put on the black fox fur coat that Pingshui handed to him, and walked out of the East Garden.

As soon as she walked outside the garden where Gu Lun was practicing, she heard Princess Mingyue crying hysterically. Zhao Xihua was startled. Pingshui and Chunfeng, who were following her, also looked at Zhao Xihua nervously.

What was going on? Princess Mingyue was the most tenacious woman, a remarkable woman who had made countless military achievements. How could she cry and collapse like this?

However, she knew that such a woman had her pride and would not allow others to see the slightest weakness in her. If she stood in front of Princess Mingyue, it would be a second humiliation for her.

I don't know why, but she doesn't really dislike Princess Mingyue. After all, a woman like her deserves respect from others. Forget it, she might as well be an annoying eavesdropper.

Princess Mingyue's mournful words came through clearly in the garden: "Gu Lun, you are really not a human being. If you are so determined now, why did you save me? Why? You helped me heal my wounds, checked my body, and led me out of the siege alone to find reinforcements. Everyone in the world knows that I, a woman, have lived with you in the desert for so long. My reputation, my honor, everything I have has been taken away by you..."

"I'm sorry," Gu Lun's hoarse and cold voice came, "I saved you at that time because I respected your dedication to the country and the people. I never wanted to destroy you, and I never liked you. I didn't have that thought before. Now... I already have someone I love..."

Zhao Xihua's face changed, and Gu Lun's voice echoed in her ears. He has a beloved one, so is that beloved one her?

"What did you say?" Princess Mingyue's voice was mixed with tears, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, I have always considered you a friend that I, Gu Lun, can make in this life, but you are definitely not the woman I want to marry. You should have a broader world. There is no possibility between you and me. I had no choice but to save you at that time. But no one can force me to marry whoever I like."

"Is it Zhao Xihua? Is it that bitch Zhao Xihua?" Princess Mingyue shouted hysterically at Gu Lun.

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words." Gu Lun's voice turned cold. "Your Highness, she is my wife, the woman I love most, the woman who has been with me all the way to where I am now. Please be a little more respectful to her."

"Why?" Mingyue yelled, "What's so good about her? Her family background is not as good as mine, she is weak, and she is just a woman who can only play tricks. How can she deserve your love? What's good about her? What's good about her?"

Gu Lun looked at Princess Mingyue's hysterical roar, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. If he had known that he would encounter such trouble today, he should not have meddled in other people's business.

So he turned and walked out of the garden, and just stood in front of Zhao Xihua. Zhao Xihua was startled and wanted to turn around but Gu Lun grabbed her arm. She couldn't control herself and bumped heavily into Gu Lun's chest.

"Have you heard enough?" Gu Lun looked at the timid woman in front of him. This fearless woman just didn't care about him. Now that she was here, she didn't dare to stand beside him to prove everything to Princess Mingyue. He had to carry the burden that she should have carried.

He was willing to shoulder all the burdens and storms for her, but today, he didn't want to face this hurdle alone. It was not an easy thing to do.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop..." Zhao Xihua explained to Gu Lun with a guilty conscience.

"Come with me," Gu Lun grabbed Zhao Xihua and walked in front of Princess Mingyue.

Princess Mingyue didn't expect that Zhao Xihua was brought here by Gu Lun. She hated the woman in front of her, but the dignity of a princess made her suppress the urge to kill Zhao Xihua immediately.

Gu Lun was worried that this woman might do anything when she went crazy, so he circled Zhao Xihua behind him and said, "Your Highness, my wife has already heard about our previous grievances. I appreciate your kindness. But now that I am married, I have to be responsible for my wife. I cannot have any involvement with Your Highness. This is not only responsible for my wife, but also my principle as a human being."

Gu Lun calmed himself down, held Zhao Xihua's hand and said to Princess Mingyue: "Just now, Your Highness asked me why I like her..."
