The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua asked Chunfeng Gu to go back home to her small storehouse to prepare a gift and then she rested in the Zhao family's guest room.

Pingshui asked the little girl to steam a wormwood bag and apply it to Zhao Xihua's forehead to calm her mind. After dinner, when it was dark, she heard a sharp cry coming from Zhao Lingyun's room, which startled Zhao Xihua.

Pingshui whispered in Zhao Xihua's ear: "Sister, the second master of the Sun family sent someone to pick her up."

Zhao Xihua nodded and said, "Let's go. After all, we are sisters, so let's see her off."

Pingshui put the coat on Zhao Xihua, and then helped Zhao Xihua walk to the main hall. Surprisingly, except for Zhao Xihua and Zhao Chishu who had arrived earlier, no one else in the Zhao family came out to see them off.

An old car was parked at the door, and the Fifth Lady was crying while holding Zhao Lingyun, who was half sticking out of the car.

Zhao Chishu sighed, took a stack of banknotes and walked over, stuffed it into Zhao Lingyun's hand, and said, "Fifth sister, take good care of yourself when you go there."

Zhao Lingyun didn't even look at Zhao Chishu, but just stared at Zhao Xihua and gritted her teeth and said, "Fourth sister, are you satisfied? Don't worry, I will live well, and I will definitely live better than you."

Zhao Xihua's lips curled up slightly: "As you wish!"

The Sun family's lonely car drove into the night, taking away Zhao Lingyun's last hope of becoming a noble lady from a wealthy family.

Zhao Xihua then returned to the Gu family with the people around her. Gu Lun still hadn't come back yet. It seemed that the Ling family's matter was too big and urgent. But it was understandable. After all, the Ling family was the top family in the country. How could the president completely overthrow the Ling family with a small trick?

Subsequent matters may be more troublesome. What Zhao Xihua has to do is to ensure the peace of the Gu family and prevent Gu Lun from having any worries.

Fortunately, Mr. Gu had handed over the Gu family's underground palace to Gu Lun last time. Zhao Xihua now speaks with confidence in the Gu family. Mrs. Hua has become more low-key after suffering a few losses. She is no longer as arrogant as before. For a while, the Gu family is unprecedentedly peaceful.

Zhao Xihua was in the study room, carefully looking at the account books sent by various shopping malls and stores. These stores were Gu Lun's properties and were handed over to Zhao Xihua to manage.

"Sister, Uncle Lin is here."

"Bring him in!"

Uncle Lin is now mainly responsible for helping her to gather information, and he can be considered a capable confidant. Recently, he has been mainly asked to investigate the Master's affairs.

Uncle Lin usually passes on messages by calling her and does not appear in front of her too often. After all, the Gu family has too many eyes and ears. But he came to her in person today, probably because he has important news to tell her.

She asked Chunfeng to send all the idle people out, and then Uncle Lin came in with a tall, pretty and lovely girl.

After the girl came in, she looked around at the furnishings with her big, dark and lively eyes, without any restraint.

"Miss Tang?" Zhao Xihua laughed instantly.

The girl was Tang Xin. She had offended the powerful in Kyoto before and was living on the streets. It was Zhao Xihua who rescued her and sent her to Yuncheng to help Zhao Xihua run Huichuntang, and she made Huichuntang flourish.

Tang Xin took a step forward, held Zhao Xihua's hand and said, "Hello, Madam. I'm so glad to see you."

After saying that, he took out two thick account books from his bag and handed them to Zhao Xihua.

Zhao Xihua looked at the account book and the thick banknotes in front of her and was a little confused, but Tang Xin smiled and said, "Madam, this is the income of Huichuntang in the past six months. According to what we agreed at the beginning, you get 70% and I get 30%, so I'll show you the account."

Zhao Xihua felt warm in her heart. Although this girl had some personality in her way of speaking and doing things, she really did things in a gentlemanly manner.

Zhao Xihua was just an accountant, so how could he not see clearly the accounts? He had not misjudged this girl before, she was a reliable one.

She thought for a moment, divided the money in half and said with a smile: "Miss Tang, I have changed my mind now. You have managed my Huichuntang so well, I want to thank you very much, so I decided that we should split it 50-50. You can take this money and regard it as the money I will prepare for your dowry.

When Tang Xin heard the word "dowry", she subconsciously glanced at Uncle Lin who was standing next to her and her face turned slightly red. This matter could not escape Zhao Xihua's eyes.

Uncle Lin's real name is Zhang Lin, and he is actually only thirty years old. However, in Yuncheng, his seniority is relatively high, so everyone calls him uncle. In fact, he is only a few years older than Tang Xin.

Tang Xin had just arrived in Yuncheng and was unfamiliar with the place. She had been bullied by some ruffians, and it was Zhang Lin who helped her deal with them almost every time. In addition, Zhang Lin had a lot of contact with Tang Xin when he stayed in Yuncheng, and over time they fell in love with each other. Now that their relationship had been exposed by Zhao Xihua, she felt a little embarrassed.

Zhao Xihua stuffed the money into Tang Xin's hand and said, "You two have suffered a lot with me. When the situation in Kyoto stabilizes, I will pick a good day to hold your wedding. I can't refuse the responsibility of Huichuntang's income. If you manage Huichuntang well, it will be regarded as my master's wish. Don't be modest, I am sincere."

Tang Xin looked at Zhao Xihua's clear eyes and laughed cheerfully: "Well, I will accept this favor from you, Madam. In the future, just let me know if you need me. But I have something else to tell you today, so you need to be prepared."

Zhao Xihua looked at Pingshui and Chunfeng beside her. Knowing that the two girls had something important to say, they left the room and stood at the door, waiting to prevent anyone from approaching.

Seeing that there were only three of them in the room, Tang Xin took out a few dried flowers in a glass jar from her bag and said, "I found a medicine that is very effective in treating madness. This time I came to Kyoto to help treat the woman in the hospice. When can you arrange the time, Madam?"

Zhao Xihua took a deep breath and said, "Zhang Lin, take Miss Tang to the room where Jingning is locked up tonight. The sooner we go, the better."

……

The New Year's Day finally arrived. The Gu family compound was decorated with lights and was full of joy since morning. Even Grandpa Gu was taken home.

Zhao Xihua also got dressed up early in the morning and followed Gu Lun to the Bamboo Garden to kowtow to the old man, and then went to the main building to kowtow to Gu Yan and Madam Hua. Then she was busy with the family dinner at noon, and then she had to go to the Presidential Palace to attend the palace banquet.

This set of procedures was really tiring. The next morning, he had to go to the ancestral hall with several elders of the Gu family to offer sacrifices. Now that Gu Lun had taken control of the Gu family, he was naturally indispensable to the ancestor worship activities, and of course, the young lady Zhao Xihua was also indispensable.

Zhao Xihua instructed Pingshui to distribute red envelopes to the servants in the East Garden according to their performance and the amount of work they did. The red envelopes were very generous, and soon the festive atmosphere in the entire East Garden became stronger. Everyone was satisfied and worked harder.
