The Rebirth of an Orphan

But she won the bet today. Gu Lun had been outside the whole time, worried about what Zhao Xihua would be called to do by Madam Ling, and he was getting anxious. Suddenly he saw the fake Zhao Xihua jumping into the pond, so he didn't care about anything else and jumped into the pond. But he didn't know that the person he fished out was actually Zhao Lingyun.

Gu Lun has always been calculating others, but he didn't expect that he would be calculated by the fifth daughter of the Zhao family today. The fifth daughter is an unmarried girl, and now Gu Lun, as her brother-in-law, has to be responsible for her. This is also a thorn between Zhao Xihua and Gu Lun, which is really disgusting.

However... Zhao Xihua was surprised to find that there was another person standing next to Gu Lun, who was also soaked. It was Sun Cong, the second young master of the Sun family.

Zhao Xihua understood immediately. Others might not know, but she knew that Sun Cong had become Gu Lun's confidant. After that, she fought and charged for Gu Lun very hard.

Zhao Xihua ignored Zhao Lingyun who rushed over and looked at Zhao Yan and asked, "Father, what's going on?"

Zhao Yan was about to speak when he didn't expect Gu Lun to speak first. Even though he was soaked and should have been in a mess, he was sitting there with an intimidating demeanor.

"I don't need to explain today's incident to irrelevant people, but I have to explain it to my wife."

Although Zhao Yan felt somewhat embarrassed, he did not say anything. Besides, this was a matter concerning the fifth branch of the Zhao family. His younger brother did not take him seriously because of his military achievements. He was not in a hurry if something happened to his daughter.

He didn't expect that the daughter of the fifth brother was so powerful. This time the layout was neat and tidy. Even Gu Lun was fooled. But let's see what Gu Lun has to say.

Gu Lun looked at Zhao Xihua and said, "I was waiting for you in front, but you didn't come out for a long time. I was a little worried and went to the back garden. I saw a man and a woman arguing, and then the woman suddenly jumped into the pond. No matter what, it was a life, so I jumped into the pond with the young man. I didn't expect that the person I rescued was actually Miss Fifth."

"No, that's not the case. It was after my brother-in-law rescued me that the Second Young Master Sun came. I don't know what he said to my brother-in-law before jumping into the pond. I, Zhao Lingyun, am innocent, so how could I have anything to do with the Second Young Master Sun? But now..."

Zhao Lingyun's face began to turn pale. She really didn't expect that Sun Cong would suddenly interrupt the originally planned situation, putting her in an awkward situation.

When she fell into the water, she and Gu Lun were the only two people there. According to the plan, the maid beside her would call everyone at the banquet to come over and make a bigger noise. However, she had never expected the sudden appearance of Sun Cong. What was even more unexpected was that the Sun family and the Gu family were originally incompatible. Unexpectedly, the second young master of the Sun family took the initiative to help Gu Lun out.

Zhao Lingyun looked at Gu Lun who was so close to her, but a sense of despair rose in her heart.

As soon as Gu Lun finished speaking, Zhao Xihua understood what kind of person Gu Lun was. How could he be controlled by a scheming little woman? She just admired Zhao Lingyun's courage. She dared to provoke someone like Gu Lun.

Gu Lun didn't even give Princess Mingyue any favors. She wanted to get close to the Gu family with her petty tricks. She was too naive. Zhao Lingyun was a smart woman, but she was too smart and it was her own fault.

Zhao Lingyun was really panicking. "Uncle, uncle, I really don't know the Second Young Master Sun. Just now... it was Brother-in-law Gu who saved me and carried me into the room alone. Everyone saw it. Otherwise, my reputation would be ruined. Uncle, please help me. This is the face of the Zhao family."

Xi Hua couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In her previous life, Zhao Lingyun used the excuse of visiting her fourth sister at the Sun family to get together with Sun Cong. She also fell into the water and was rescued by Sun Cong, and later married into the Sun family.

However, this time she was not plotting against Sun Cong but Gu Lun. It was really the wheel of fate. She still had to marry Sun Cong, but she was not as lucky this time as before. Sun Cong did not have the same feelings for Zhao Lingyun as before.

You have to know that Sun Cong is taking the blame for Gu Lun. He only took this job based on his own plans and circumstances. He was reluctant in his heart. After all, taking the blame like this is the greatest humiliation for a man.

Sun Cong then slowly spoke: "Ling'er, I'm really sad that you said that. You may not be thinking clearly because you choked on the water. It was obviously me who carried you up, but you insisted that it was Master Gu. Master Gu only helped me and saved your life. Could it be that you just want to cling to the Gu family?"

He sighed again and said, "Forget it. You and I have always been in love, but I want to build a career before starting a family. Since everyone knows about our relationship, I will propose to the Zhao family. You can just marry me, and don't waste your time involving the Gu family."

"You!" Zhao Lingyun was suddenly speechless.

Zhao Yan felt that it was not a bad idea to marry Zhao Lingyun to the Sun family. After all, she could take care of his eldest daughter. The Zhao family couldn't afford to offend someone like Gu Lun, so this should be the best solution.

Miss Nangong's face darkened. Sun Cong was also her nephew. She didn't expect that he would stand up to defend the Gu family at this time. He was simply a traitor.

Gu Lun is definitely a ruthless person, and the incident happened in her princess garden. The solution proposed by Gu Lun now is also the best one, and it also saves everyone's face.

Zhao Yan then walked up to Miss Nangong and said, "Your Highness, Ling'er is the child of the fifth branch of my Zhao family. My fifth brother is still in the army, so the marriage of this child will be decided by me, her uncle."

"The second young master of the Sun family is your nephew, and this also involves the reputation of the Sun family. Since the second young master Sun has already brought it up, why not take this opportunity to settle the matter? What do you think?"

What else can Miss Nangong say? This matter has already become a big deal, what else can she say?

"Forget it, let's arrange the marriages for these two children."

Gu Lun added, "As the Fifth Miss's brother-in-law, I have something to say. Gu Lun looked at Zhao Yan with a cold expression, "Looking at the Fifth Miss's behavior, it's better to marry her off early. Otherwise, I don't know how much trouble she will cause. Marry her before the New Year and celebrate the New Year together, which is a double happiness. My Gu family has everything you need, just ask."

Zhao Lingyun looked at Gu Lun and knew that he was determined to push her into the Sun family. This was not the result she wanted.

The second young master of the Sun family is just an illegitimate child. If she marries him, she will be inferior to Zhao Ziqin. Not to mention that Sun Cong himself doesn't like him, what future can an illegitimate child have?

But now her marriage has been decided. She turned pale and was about to say something when she heard Zhao Xihua say, "Someone, send Miss Five to change her clothes. Don't let her get sick."

Zhao Xihua is now considered a person with strong words in the Zhao family. When she spoke, a servant immediately came forward and dragged Zhao Lingyun up. The matter was done. Zhao Lingyun wanted to resist but was powerless. She could only be dragged away crying.

After Gu Lun and Sun Cong changed their clothes, Gu Lun took Zhao Xihua and left the Princess Garden.

As Sun Cong tidied his clothes and walked out the door, he ran into Sun Xiao who was rushing over.
