The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua's face turned pale. What did Sun Xiao mean? Was he going to give the last bit of face to the two of them? She felt a little sad.

Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Lun, but Gu Lun did not show the ugly anger that everyone expected. Instead, he smiled. He felt much more relieved. The moment Sun Xiao took out the marriage certificate, it meant that he would be erased from Hua'er's heart forever.

Zhao Xihua didn't expect Sun Xiao to do this in front of so many people. It wasn't a good feeling to reveal the scar in public. It hurt, but it also felt like a relief.

Miss Nangong's face also changed. Is Xiao'er crazy? How can he slap himself in the face? Why did he keep this thing for so long? He has lost all the face of the Sun family.

"Xiao'er, are you drunk? Someone, send the young master to his room to rest. Zhao Ziqin, why don't you take your husband away?" Zhao Ziqin was trembling all over. Sun Xiao was too shameless. Where would he put her, the young lady of the Sun family?

Zhao Ziqin was just about to stand up when she unexpectedly heard Zhao Xihua start talking. She stared at Sun Xiao coldly. Sun Xiao was very familiar with that look. He never expected that one day Huaer would use such a look on him. A chill ran up his spine.

But he didn't regret it at all. He had been suppressing his emotions for too long. Whether he was right or wrong, he just wanted Zhao Xihua to give him an explanation.

He had had enough. He didn't like seeing Gu Lun and Zhao Xihua being affectionate. He was extremely jealous. Since it was painful, let's all suffer together.

Zhao Xihua looked at Sun Xiao and sighed, "Young Master Sun was thoughtful enough to keep this thing. I, Zhao Xihua, am a country girl who has never seen the world. I thought that since we had signed this marriage certificate in private, we would be together forever. But I didn't know that the most unreliable thing in the world is a vow of eternal love."

Sun Xiao's face turned pale, and his heart started beating as he watched Zhao Xihua walking towards him.

Zhao Xihua looked at Sun Xiao as he walked and said, "Young Master Sun, you have always believed that I was the one who betrayed you, but who betrayed whom between us? This is a matter of public opinion. Since you insist on explaining it clearly, I will accompany you to the end today."

"At first, I thought this marriage certificate was a promise from Young Master Sun, and I was ready to marry into the Sun family. But I didn't expect that when I got into the wedding car, the road ahead was not the Sun family but a ruined temple in the wilderness. Young Master Sun should know the secret better than me, right? Who abandoned whom between the two of us? Who let whom down? You should know very well."

Sun Xiao’s face turned pale instantly, and he opened his mouth but couldn’t speak.

Zhao Xihua raised her hand and pulled out the marriage certificate from Sun Xiao's hand, then tore it into pieces bit by bit in public. The red pieces of paper were blown away by the wind in an instant.

Sun Xiao whispered in a hoarse and painful voice: "You are really ruthless."

"No, there has never been any love. I have made it clear to you before. Since there is no marriage certificate, it can only be a joke. Master Sun does not need to keep it."

Sun Xiao's eyes were red, and his whole body was trembling slightly. He suppressed the despair in his heart, stared at the face that she had been thinking about day and night, and whispered lightly: "Haha, this is good, this is good..."

Gu Lun felt as if the stone weighing on his heart had disappeared in an instant. He stood up and said to Miss Nangong, the Third Prince, and the Ninth Prince, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I have had enough to eat and drink at the banquet today, and I have had a great time. I will take my wife home now. Goodbye."

Things had come to this point, and Miss Nangong still wanted to keep the guests, so she hurriedly arranged to see them off.

Zhao Xihua followed Gu Lun out. As soon as she walked out of the banquet hall, Gu Lun grabbed her hand tightly. She paused for a moment and didn't even think about pulling her hand out of Gu Lun's palm.

But Gu Lun could no longer suppress the joy in his heart, and laughed out loud with his head tilted back.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Xihua had no idea what was wrong with him.

Gu Lun smiled and said, "Happy, I'm so happy!"

"What are you happy about?" Zhao Xihua really didn't like what Sun Xiao did just now. It made her very uncomfortable.

"The way Hua'er tore up the marriage certificate just now was so neat and tidy. It was so beautiful!"

Zhao Xihua gritted her teeth and was about to say something sarcastic to him, telling him not to make a fool of himself here, but Mrs. Guan, who was beside Madam Ling, came towards them.

Zhao Xi frowned, she felt it was strange that Madam Ling fainted after seeing the plum blossom hairpin. She had been thinking of looking for clues from Miss Nangong, but how did it end up with Madam Ling? She was thinking of investigating, but she didn't expect Madam Ling to come here herself.

Mrs. Guan stepped forward and said, "Madam Gu, my wife wants you to meet her in the room in the back garden." Mrs. Ling had just fainted, and it was not convenient for her to go home immediately, so she found a guest room in the Princess Garden to rest.

As soon as Mrs. Guan finished her words, Gu Lun said coldly, "What's wrong with your wife? Why didn't you tell her earlier? Why did you wait until my wife was about to leave and then stop her? What's the logic? We can talk about it when we have time. Hua'er, we're leaving."

Gu Lun just felt that there were too many strange things about this banquet, and he couldn't put Zhao Xihua in this dangerous situation.

"My wife is not feeling well. Young Madam is a good doctor, so I would like to ask her to go and see her so that I can feel at ease."

Zhao Xihua guessed that Madam Ling had woken up, but it was not an emergency. With her status, any famous doctor would be available at any time. There was no need for her, a quack doctor, to see her unless she wanted to say something to her.

So Zhao Xihua looked at Gu Lun and said with a firm tone: "Alan, since Madam Ling said so, I will go over and take a look."

Gu Lun had always let Zhao Xihua do what she wanted and didn't interfere. He nodded and followed her to wait outside Madam Ling's resting room. He was really worried about being in the princess's garden.

Zhao Xihua followed Mrs. Guan to Madam Ling's room. When she reached the door, she smelled medicine. That medicine was not medicine for treating fainting, but it just had the effect of refreshing the mind. Could it be that Madam Ling was pretending to be faint?

But why did she pretend to faint? It only shows that Mrs. Ling was very flustered at the time and could only pretend to faint to cover herself up.

Zhao Xihua's doubts deepened. Why did Mrs. Ling care so much about her master? She walked into the room and saw Mrs. Ling half lying on the bed, looking very haggard, with a plaster on her forehead.

Seeing Zhao Xihua coming in, Madam Ling waved at her and said, "Good girl, you are here. Come and sit next to me. I must have made you laugh at my misbehavior just now."

Mrs. Ling's usual friendliness seemed to Zhao Xihua like an awkward and cold feeling this time.
