The Rebirth of an Orphan

Now the Sun family has completely stood on the side of the Third Prince and is a mortal enemy of Gu Lun. If they go to the Nangong family for a banquet, it really has to be Gu Lun who makes the decision.

Zhao Xihua looked at Gu Lun and said, "We must attend such a grand banquet together, Alan, what do you think?"

The sunlight outside the window just happened to shine on her beautiful face. Gu Lun was moved no matter how he looked at her. He looked at Zhao Xihua and smiled, "If that's the case, then let's go. After all, it was our brother-in-law who invited us, so how can we not go?"

Sun Xiao's heart was in a knot as he watched. Zhao Xihua really had a different feeling for Gu Lun. It was so real that he couldn't hide it at all. He could only smile faintly and said:

"That's great. We're all relatives, and it's rare for us to get together in Kyoto. I'm staying in Princess Garden now, so I can offer my father-in-law a welcome, and it can also be considered as a treat for everyone."

The atmosphere in the main hall gradually eased. When Zhao Xihua and Gu Lun stood up to leave, Zhao Chishu stood up and said to Zhao Xihua, "Fourth sister, fourth brother-in-law, I will not stay at Gu's house today."

"Are you not used to living here, Third Sister? Hua'er has something private to say to you." Zhao Xihua asked.

"Then Fourth Sister can arrange for someone to pick me up when she is free. I am generally not used to living in someone else's house."

Zhao Chishu had her own plans. After she knew that Zhao Lingyun had developed inappropriate feelings for Gu Lun, she felt that Zhao Lingyun could not continue to live in the Gu family. Now that she was the only one who did not live in the Gu family, Zhao Lingyun had no reason to stay there.

Zhao Xihua felt a little strange seeing Zhao Chishu's persistence, but she didn't think much about it. After all, this girl was a person with her own ideas. She nodded and said, "In that case, let Third Sister do as she pleases. But Third Sister, you must tell me if you need anything."

Zhao Chishu finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Zhao Lingyun and said with a smile: "Fifth sister, since I'm not going to live in the Gu family anymore, you should move out too. We can just go around Kyoto together."

Zhao Lingyun was furious, what a troublemaker. She had originally planned to live in Gu's house closer to Gu Lun so that she would still have a chance, but now Zhao Chishu had disrupted all her plans.

But now she didn't dare to say anything and could only swallow her anger. She forced herself to laugh and said, "Third sister is right. I will listen to you in everything."

After Zhao Xihua left, Sun Xiao's expression became even colder, as if the Zhao family owed him money. He sat for a while and then got up and left, leaving Zhao Ziqin alone, which was completely different from the previous husband-wife relationship between Zhao Xihua and Gu Lun.

Zhao Yan's face was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't afford to offend Sun Xiao. He felt annoyed when he saw his eldest daughter crying with Old Lady Zhao and the first lady. He said a few useless words and left.

As soon as Zhao Yan left, the people from other families also left one after another. Seeing that their eldest granddaughter started crying as soon as she came back to her parents' home, they were also a little dissatisfied: "Qin'er, you should learn from your fourth sister and stop crying at your parents' home all the time. What's the point of crying? You should learn how to coax your own man."

Mrs. Zhao left after saying that, leaving the eldest lady feeling sorry for her daughter. But now that the matter is done, she definitely can't go back. After all, the identity of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Sun family is still somewhat honorable.

Zhao Ziqin burst into tears, "You set me up to marry into the Sun family just for your own glory, but what kind of life am I living? I am a widow every day and every night, and everyone is forcing me. Why did you just lock her up? Why didn't you kill her? If she died, Sun Xiao would have nothing to think about. Go and kill her for me!"

"Are you crazy?" Mrs. Zhao was frightened and a little flustered. This girl was a little crazy.

Zhao Ziqin screamed hysterically, "There is not a single good person in the Sun family. That damn old woman in the Sun family is actually asking Sun Xiao to divorce me and marry someone else. Who the hell am I? Hahahaha... If she annoys me one day, I will poison that old woman to death."

With a crisp sound, the eldest lady slapped her daughter hard on the face. Zhao Ziqin suddenly came to her senses. What she said was really scary and shocking.

Zhao Ziqin sobbed softly, "Mother, it's so hard for me. I really regret it. Mother, my heart hurts so much."

Mrs. Zhao originally thought that men would live together as long as they got married. However, she didn't know that Sun Xiao was too deeply in love with Zhao Xihua and ended up harming her daughter.

Zhao Xihua, this bitch must not be allowed to live. Mrs. Zhao's eyes were already full of coldness and murderous intent.

The Gu family arranged for someone to bring Zhao Chishu and Zhao Lingyun back to the villa and also sent gifts for them both. The gifts were mainly for Zhao Chishu, and Zhao Lingyun just gave them a small token of appreciation.

Zhao Lingyun was a little angry when she saw the gifts from the two people, so she simply took the two girls out to go shopping. As soon as she reached the corner of the street, she saw several men in uniform standing on the street. She didn't know what they were talking about, but judging from the logo on their clothes, they seemed to be from the Sun family.

Zhao Lingyun saw that one of them was someone she knew, the evil-minded Li Ming. She looked at Li Ming's handsome face and laughed softly: "Third sister, it seems that I should give you a big gift."

So she asked the maid who followed her to invite Li Ming to a teahouse nearby to talk.

Soon Li Ming arrived at the teahouse. Li Ming was handsome and had some temperament, but his status was relatively low. His father was an employee of the Sun family shop, and his mother was also a servant of the Sun family. He was a servant of the Sun family since he was born, and found a job in the Sun family when he grew up.

Ever since he bumped into the third daughter of the Zhao family by chance, he felt that his chance had come. He saw the innocence of the third daughter of the Zhao family, and also saw the opportunity hidden behind her. The third branch of the Zhao family had no boys, and all the property belonged to this daughter.

As long as he married the third young lady, he would get a huge dowry and plan his future. He didn't want to follow Sun Xiao anymore, because Sun Xiao was too shrewd and he wouldn't get anything.

Because he was born in the Sun family, he grew up with Sun Xiao and learned martial arts from him. He was very smart, especially in poetry and painting. That's why he set up a trap to win Zhao Chishu's heart.

He didn't know why the fifth young lady of the Zhao family came to him. Could something have gone wrong again? He was a little worried.

Zhao Lingyun saw that Li Ming was indeed good-looking, otherwise how could he attract the self-righteous third sister? However, he was still eclipsed in front of a man like Gu Lun. She didn't know why the third sister liked this man so much, but she deserved it.
