The Rebirth of an Orphan

Pingshui was a little confused and a little scared. The eldest wife was so powerful. If her sister confronted her head-on, what if... The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.

Zhao Xihua said coldly, "Today I sent the leftovers and Sister Hong to the first wife, telling her publicly that I am not afraid of falling out with her, the worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed. Things have become so serious tonight, and we don't need to tell the old lady about the kitchen's harsh treatment of us. The old lady will know about it soon."

Pingshui felt that Zhao Xihua had really changed, not the same as before. Zhao Xihua looked at her and smiled, "Sit down." Pingshui didn't know what she was going to do, so she sat on the chair. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xihua rolled up her trouser legs, preparing to apply medicine to her.

"Sister, no need, I can do it myself." Pingshui hurriedly tried to stand up, but unexpectedly Zhao Xihua grabbed her hand and pulled her on the chair. Looking at Pingshui's injury, her expression became obviously serious.

She saw that the abrasion on Pingshui's leg was even more serious than she thought. The wound was already inflamed, red and swollen, with the skin and flesh turned outward and still bleeding.

Zhao Xihua felt her heart tremble slightly and her eyes were a little moist. She remembered that in her previous life, Pingshui also got injured in the leg while protecting her. She did not receive medical treatment and developed an old illness. She would feel unbearable pain every time it rained or in winter.

I remember that Zhao Lingyun had been married to the second young master of the Sun family for less than a month, and she tried her best to drive herself, the widow of the eldest son, out of the main house, because she had her eyes on the room where Zhao Xihua lived. She took advantage of a banquet at home and bribed a gangster to enter their Sun family.

The gangster was eager to rape Zhao Xihua because she was pretty. Even Pingshui, who was following her, tried her best to protect her from being bullied, but she was stabbed in the thigh by the gangster with a knife, leaving a deep wound.

Although Zhao Lingyun's plan failed, they still found a reason to drive them out of the main house and move them to the small and dark side room.

It's just that the eldest son of the Sun family, who was also Zhao Xihua's nominal husband, died early, and no one in the Sun family cared about her, the eldest daughter-in-law who married into the family with the reputation of being an orphan.

After the eldest son of the Sun family passed away, the second son of the Sun family successfully took over all the Sun family's assets and became the head of the Sun family.

That winter, Zhao Lingyun, the second wife of the Sun family, who was also the mistress of the household, cut back on the expenses and food of the main household, making their life very difficult.

Especially in winter, there was no air conditioning or heating in the room, so she and Pingshui got frostbite on their hands and faces, especially the wound on Pingshui's leg. They had no money to go to the hospital for treatment. Although she knew Chinese medicine and could prescribe medicine, she had no money to buy medicine, so the wound never healed and she cried at the slightest pain.

Whenever Zhao Xihua thought of the suffering Pingshui had endured, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. In this life, she must make sure Pingshui never suffer that excruciating pain again.

"Pingshui, thank you." Zhao Xihua said with emotion, "Sister, it's all my fault that I'm useless and couldn't help you." Pingshui said softly.

After Zhao Xihua applied the medicine to Pingshui, she looked at her and smiled: "Pingshui, we will all be fine in the future. You suffered not because of your incompetence, but because of my incompetence as a sister. I failed to protect you, but I will never do that again. Believe me."

"Sister..." Pingshui felt warm in her heart and her eyes became moist. She didn't know how she was so lucky to meet such a good sister.

She was brought from the countryside to the Zhao family to live with her sister when she was very young. Although she was often bullied by the Zhao family, her sister treated her very well, and the two of them have depended on each other and survived until now.

A joking remark came in from outside the window: "Haha, I didn't expect such a deep sisterly love. I was almost moved."

"Who is it?" Pingshui immediately stood up and stopped Zhao Xihua behind her when she heard a strange male voice. However, Zhao Xihua calmly pushed Pingshui away and said, "Pingshui, it's okay. I know this person. I'll go talk to him. You stay outside the door and watch. Don't let anyone see you."

Zhao Xihua is now a thorn in the eyes of some people, and she can't let those who are trying every means to harm her get a handle on her. Pingshui nodded and staggered quickly to the door.

In fact, Zhao Xihua knew it was that man when she heard the voice, the mysterious man who followed Deng Xiao. She slowly sat back in her chair and shouted coldly out the window, "I know who you are, come in."

Soon, Gu Lun, still in casual clothes, walked into the room. The dim light in the room shone on his handsome face, which was hazy and had a unique charm.

Zhao Xihua sat motionless on the chair and just said, "Master Gu, I have to thank you for your help today, but I don't understand. We just met by chance, why did you help me? Or maybe you are not helping me at all, but deliberately causing trouble for me?"

Zhao Xihua thanked him, but she was actually very annoyed by Gu Lun's intervention. If he hadn't intervened, she would have made Zhao Siqi suffer a little. However, Gu Lun's appearance made her a thorn in the eyes of those people in the Zhao family, completely disrupting the rhythm of her plan.

She had never intended to show off in the Zhao family so quickly, but she didn't know that Gu Lun was adding fuel to the fire and making the matter so big.

Gu Lun's face looked relaxed, not as cold and serious as Zhao Xihua's. His tall figure carried a powerful aura and pressure with every step he took forward.

Gu Lun walked up to Zhao Xihua, bent down, and actually put his hands on the armrests of the chair where Zhao Xihua was sitting. Zhao Xihua was almost completely embraced in his arms. This action was a bit frivolous, and made Zhao Xihua feel a huge pressure.

"Stay away from me, get out of here." Zhao Xihua's face was already angry, and her eyes were even more fierce. Gu Lun didn't care, just let go of the armrest, smiled gently and said: "Girl, I just came to tell you that my contact number is 137****6688, remember this number, what's yours?"

"I don't have a cell phone." Zhao Xihua suddenly felt the pressure on her body disappear, and she responded casually after a moment's pause. Gu Lun was surprised for a moment, but he didn't say anything else and turned around and left.

Looking at the departing figure, Zhao Xihua took a deep breath. This person's identity was mysterious and her behavior was eccentric, which was really confusing. But she had no way to deal with her and could only endure it.

Not long after, before Zhao Xihua went to look for Pingshui, Pingshui came back in a hurry. She told Zhao Xihua, "Sister, I just heard that after Sister Hong returned to the eldest wife, the eldest wife fired her, and the chefs in the kitchen were also replaced."

Zhao Xihua showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth. Sure enough, the eldest wife was just doing it for the old lady to see. Pingshui said cautiously: "I heard that the head of the family happened to run into this matter, and he got very angry at the eldest wife."
