The Rebirth of an Orphan

Changfeng nodded and couldn't help but admire the young lady even more. She was indeed the woman chosen by her master. Such calmness and magnanimity were indeed different from ordinary people.

After Changfeng left, Zhao Xihua had just started to eat breakfast when she unexpectedly heard the housekeeper from the Zhao family come and say he wanted to see the young lady.

Zhao Xihua had no idea what had happened in the Zhao family so early in the morning. Although she was upset, they were her mother's family after all, so she had no choice but to meet them since they came to visit.

"Third aunt, please go to the Zhao family. The head of the family asked me to take you back. There's nothing I can do about it. It's the fifth lady's business." The housekeeper said tremblingly.

Zhao Xihua was really upset. She didn't know what tricks Zhao Lingyun was playing in just one night, but at this point she could only go and take a look, otherwise she would have to explain herself.

Soon Zhao Xihua took a car to the Zhao family's villa in East Lane. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a large group of people gathered at the door to watch the fun, pointing at the Zhao family's yard.

This alley is inhabited by businessmen who cannot afford to offend powerful people like the Gu family. When they saw the Gu family's car parked at the door, they quickly dispersed.

After getting off the car, Zhao Xihua walked directly towards the room where Room 5 lived. From a distance, she saw a large group of people gathered at the door.

Zhao Yan, Madam Zhao, and Old Lady Zhao were all sitting at the door. Although Madam Five didn't cry, she was already slumped there, unable to get up, with fear written all over her face.

Zhao Xihua saw that this situation must be a big deal, so she walked up to Zhao Yan and asked, "Father, I wonder why you want me here?"

Zhao Yan's face was somewhat gloomy and he said with embarrassment: "Yesterday, a bad guy broke into your fifth sister's room and took your fifth sister away..."

Zhao Lingyun and Sun Cong had just arranged their marriage yesterday, but she was murdered in the evening. Zhao Xihua estimated that it was Sun Cong who did it. She had seen how cruel Sun Cong was in her previous life. He definitely didn't want to marry a woman who was forced upon him. Since he didn't want her, the best way was to destroy her.

Ruining Zhao Lingyun would also ruin the reputation of the Zhao family, which would definitely affect the marriage of Zhao Chishu, who has not yet married. If it weren't for Zhao Chishu, Zhao Xihua wouldn't want to care at all.

"Father, it has already happened. No matter what, don't let any gossip spread from the Zhao family. Now that people outside know about it, the Sun family should not be able to hide it either. Why don't we ask the second young master of the Sun family to come over?"

Zhao Yan nodded, and arranged for someone to invite Sun Cong to come, and also invited Sun Xiao and Zhao Ziqin to come. But what should Sun Cong do if he doesn't want his child anymore after such a scandal happened to him?

The Sun family who received the news came quickly. Sun Xiao saw Zhao Xihua as soon as he entered the main hall, but the two of them had become strangers now, and he couldn't say a word. Zhao Ziqin looked as if it had nothing to do with him, but he could feel hatred just by looking at Zhao Xihua's expression.

Sun Cong followed Sun Xiao into the room, with a blank expression on his face.

Zhao Yan waited until everyone was seated before looking at Sun Xiao and saying, "Xiao'er, we are already relatives. If the Second Young Master and my daughter Ling'er's marriage is successful, it will be a closer relationship. I didn't expect... this to happen, so... so please come together to discuss what to do about this matter?"

Sun Xiao replied coldly: "This matter is definitely not easy to handle. How can my Sun family marry such a woman?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Wu burst into tears: "My poor Ling'er, how could she have such a miserable life? Are you trying to force her to death?"

Everyone was annoyed by the Fifth Lady's crying. Old Lady Zhao couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Shut up, Fifth Lady is now like this, you should find out what's wrong with you. You are too spoiled and too unreasonable."

The Fifth Lady shut up immediately, but she was filled with hatred and fear and didn't know what to do.

Zhao Xihua looked at Sun Xiao. Today's matter must be dealt with immediately. After what happened to Zhao Lingyun, she must not stay in the Zhao family any longer. The longer she stays, the more problems will arise, which will be more detrimental to Zhao Chishu's marriage.

She looked at Sun Xiao and said, "After all, it's not my fifth sister's fault that she got into this situation. If the Sun family abandons this marriage because of this, wouldn't it make you seem too heartless and ungrateful? So I want to hear what the second young master thinks about this matter."

Zhao Xihua's gaze towards Sun Cong was extremely sharp. Although she did not sympathize with Zhao Lingyun at all, there were other ways to cancel the engagement. However, she would not allow an approach that would harm innocent people and ruin the reputation of the entire Zhao family.

Sun Cong was not at all embarrassed when facing the pressure of Zhao Xihua's gaze. That was just the kind of person he was. So what if he was accused of being a devil?

"Logically speaking, the Fifth Miss is not clean. I, Sun Cong, am not the kind of person who collects junk. However... after all, Ling'er and I still have some feelings for each other. But after what happened, I definitely can't marry her off with three matchmakers and six engagements. I can only let her move to my house and let my Sun family raise another daughter."

Sun Cong paused and said, "If Miss Fifth wants to enter the Sun family, I will send someone to pick her up tonight. If she doesn't want to enter, then this marriage will be annulled."

Zhao Xihua understood immediately, but now that Zhao Lingyun's reputation had been damaged, it seemed that the only way to save face for both families was to have her join the Sun family.

She couldn't help but think of that night in her previous life, when she was forced into a ghost marriage with the Sun family.

That was the humiliation of her life, the humiliation of her life! But this time it was Zhao Lingyun's turn.

"No, my daughter can't be like this, she can't be like this." The Fifth Lady shouted immediately, but her cry seemed too pale and weak. When everyone looked at her, she gradually calmed down.

After the incident with Gu Lun, and being harmed by someone else, if Sun Cong breaks off the engagement and abandons her, her daughter will really have trouble taking a single step forward.

She covered her chest and cried loudly: "How should I explain to her father? How should I explain? When my Fifth Master went to the army, he was most worried about Ling'er and asked me to take good care of her. What should I do? What should I do?"

Old Madam Zhao didn't want to see the Fifth Madam making such a fuss anymore, so she just said to the Sun brothers, "Second Young Master Sun, my Ling'er is also an innocent person. I just hope that you can be more compassionate to her. No matter what, our two families are still in-laws. Come on, go and dress up the Fifth Miss, and send her to the Sun family tonight."

Zhao Xihua knew that she would not be able to escape tonight unless she saw Zhao Lingyun off, so she prepared to go to the guest room at the back to rest. She was really too tired.

Now her status was different. When she arrived at the guest room, the servants of Zhao family, calling her "Aunt" all the time, tried to fawn on her cautiously.
