The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua sat down next to Madam Ling as usual and said with a smile, "Madam, you scared Huaer just now, so let Huaer feel your pulse."

"You are a kind-hearted child, but I have just seen a doctor. It's nothing serious. You don't have to worry about me. I just feel that I get along well with you and want to talk to you."

Madam Ling held Zhao Xihua's hand again and asked, "I thought the hairpin that Huaer was wearing just now was very unique. Why is she not wearing it now?"

An idea flashed through Zhao Xihua's mind, so she took out the plum blossom hairpin hidden in her pocket, held it in front of Madam Ling and asked, "Is this what you are talking about, Madam?"

Zhao Xihua took out the hairpin, but Madam Ling's face was no longer abnormal, just a normal expression. She picked up the hairpin and smiled, "This thing is really exquisitely made. It should be an alien item, right? I also had one given to me by my husband before, but I lost it. Can you leave this one with me first? I'll find someone to make a new one and then return it to you. How about it?"

Zhao Xihua didn't know that Madam Ling actually made such a request. This request was not excessive. She was just afraid that Madam Ling kept the hairpin to study not the style but the hairpin itself?

Zhao Xihua lowered her voice and said, "Madam, there are some things I won't hide from you. This hairpin belonged to my master."

"Oh, is that the master you mentioned before?"

"Yes, I haven't told you the reason why my master died before. My master's name is Hua Caiyun." Zhao Xihua said with a smile. Madam's lowered hand trembled and then clenched into a fist.

"My master was a female doctor in the palace in her early years. Later, she offended a noble in the palace and was imprisoned in the An Ning Yuan outside Yuncheng."

As Zhao Xihua spoke, she carefully observed the changes in Mrs. Ling's expression. Perhaps the truth was about to come out.

"Ning'an Hospital is not an ordinary sanatorium. It has special guards. My master suffered inhuman abuse and torture there. But she is old, and I wanted to take her down the mountain, but in the end..."

The hatred in Zhao Xihua's eyes pierced into Mrs. Ling's heart, making her eyes look a little strange.

"On the day I was going to pick up my master, something happened. Ning'an Hospital was set on fire and burned down completely. Hundreds of people were burned to death. My master also died. She was not burned to death, but was murdered by someone. The fire was just an illusion."

"Amitabha!" Madam Ling closed her eyes and chanted, then looked at Zhao Xihua and said, "So that's how it is. I'm really sorry for you."

Zhao Xihua looked at Madam Ling who was holding the hairpin and said, "I found this hairpin in the fire scene. It was Master's possession before he died. But this hairpin... is also an evil thing. Every night I can always hear faint crying sounds coming from the hairpin..."

Mrs. Ling was startled and the hairpin in her hand fell to the ground. Zhao Xihua bent down to pick up the hairpin and looked at Mrs. Ling, but a huge wave of emotion was rising in her heart.

If Madam Ling didn't know her master, why was she so scared when she heard that the hairpin was haunted by her master's ghost? It seemed that she really needed to investigate carefully.

Madam Ling forced an awkward smile and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm a timid person, and I get scared when I hear about these strange things. In this case, you can take it back."

Zhao Xihua nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Madam. I just wanted to tell you the origin of this hairpin, but I didn't expect to scare you. So I'll take it back."

Zhao Xihua carefully put the hairpin away and wanted to say goodbye to Madam Ling. After all, Gu Lun was still waiting for her outside and she didn't want Gu Lun to wait outside for too long. Madam Ling's matter was not urgent.

When she was about to get up, Guan Sao and Ping Shui hurried in. Ping Shui walked anxiously to Zhao Xiping and whispered, "Sister, go to the pond in the back garden and have a look. Something has happened to my son-in-law."

"What?" Wasn't Gu Lun waiting for her in front? How did something go wrong? Zhao Xihua didn't have time to ask in detail and hurriedly said goodbye to Mrs. Ling and left with Pingshui.

Soon they arrived at the pond in the back garden, where quite a few people were already standing, and even Miss Nangong was startled. Everyone had a serious expression, and some also looked gloating.

When those people saw Zhao Xihua, they started talking in a low voice. Pingshui followed Zhao Xihua closely.

"What on earth happened?"

Pingshui could hardly hide the anger and disgust on her face and said, "Today's incident must have been caused by Miss Wu, and the son-in-law was also tricked by Miss Wu."

Zhao Xihua froze in her tracks. Fifth Miss? Zhao Lingyun?

Zhao Xihua did not pause. Since she could not find out what was going on, she went to see what kind of surprise the Zhao family had given her.

As soon as Zhao Xihua walked to the back garden, Changfeng came up to her and said, "Madam, the young master is in the pavilion by the pond. You... go and have a look."

Just as Zhao Xihua was about to walk towards the pavilion, she saw several women from the Zhao family standing there, with the Fifth Madam crying loudly.

"What should I do? Fourth uncle, God is watching what you do, but this is not the way to do things."

"Oh my God, how is Ling'er going to live from now on?"

There was a hint of reluctance in the Fifth Madam's voice, and the intermittent crying of Zhao Lingyun could be heard from the pavilion on the hillside nearby.

Zhao Xihua stopped in front of Madam Wu and said coldly: @Aunt Wu, you are an elder of the Zhao family after all, why are you crying here? This is in the Princess Garden, if you offend the noble, you will not be able to bear the consequences, so just say it, don't let people laugh at you. "

The Fifth Lady thought for a moment and then stopped crying.

Zhao Xihua walked quickly into the pavilion. Standing in front of her were Zhao Yan and Madam Zhao. Madam Zhao had a gloating expression on her face.

Then Zhao Xihua saw Gu Lun sitting in the middle. He was soaked all over and his face was very gloomy.

Sitting on the other side was Zhao Lingyun, her clothes disheveled and her hair messy, crying. When she saw Zhao Xihua coming in, she rushed over and said, "Fourth sister, fourth sister, you must seek justice for Ling'er. Fourth sister, Ling'er has already lost face today. It would be better for her to die to preserve the reputation of our Zhao family."

Zhao Xihua saw that Gu Lun and Zhao Lingyun were covered in water stains, and immediately understood the reason. She also saw that the clothes Zhao Lingyun wore today were almost the same color and style as hers, and there was no difference unless you looked closely.

Zhao Xihua sneered in her heart, thinking that it must be Zhao Lingyun who pretended to be her and jumped into the pond. If Gu Lun recognized that she was not his wife under normal circumstances, she would definitely end up in a bad way.
