The Rebirth of an Orphan

"My aunt is here." The servant beside the Third Madam came out with a big laugh, followed by the Third Madam. She was dressed very festively today, and looked at Zhao Xihua with a grateful look. She stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Xihua's hand: "The Third Girl is here, Shu'er was just thinking about you."

Zhao Xihua smiled and asked, "Is Third Sister's dowry ready?"

The Third Madam looked around and smiled softly, "The Deng family is so sincere, how can we not be careful with our dowry? We must not let people look down on us. Shu'er's father can't come back in time, so it's a good opportunity for you to help me see if there is anything inappropriate?"

Zhao Xihua looked at the red dowry list and thought to herself that this uncle was really good at making money. There was 88 million in cash alone, which was a considerable sum in Kyoto. What's more, there were also gold, silver, jewelry, silk, antiques, and other collections, all neatly arranged.

Zhao Xihua smiled and said, "Third Aunt has made very good preparations, and the Deng family is also a very easy-going family, and they won't find fault with you, so you can rest assured."

The Third Madam's eyes were red as she listened to this and she said, "Shu'er is able to live the life she has today thanks to your help. Third Madam really owes you too much. I don't know how to thank you."

"Aunt, everything is over. We should just look forward to the future. I also brought some things for Sister San today, which will be added to her dowry later."

In order to avoid trouble caused by too many people talking, Zhao Xihua simply arranged for people to put the things together with Zhao Chishu's dowry. It was a bookstore, several other shops, and a whole set of relatively rare jewelry.

Kyoto is a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. The gift from Zhao Xihua was so precious that the Third Lady felt her throat was choked and she was so moved that she couldn't speak.

Buying a shop in Kyoto is not something you can buy even if you have money. This little girl actually thinks more than her mother. In fact, she sometimes gets confused, why is this little girl so good to her daughter, as if she is repaying a favor, but the little girl's current status is completely different, why does she need to repay her silly daughter?

After Zhao Xihua and the third wife settled the dowry issue, they went to Zhao Chishu's room. Zhao Chishu was already dressed neatly. She usually liked to dress plainly, but she didn't expect that the bright red wedding dress today would make her face look very gorgeous.

Zhao Chishu is originally a very beautiful person, and now her eye-catching beauty makes people feel moved.

"Third sister, you look so beautiful today." Zhao Xihua smiled and exclaimed in admiration.

There was a trace of uneasiness and anxiety on Zhao Chishu's face. After all, marrying an unfamiliar person under such circumstances made her feel like she was in a dream.

Seeing Zhao Xihua's worried expression, Zhao Chishu whispered, "I always feel sorry for Master Deng. I always feel that this matter..."

Zhao Xihua laughed softly and said, "Didn't you talk to Master Deng that day? What did he say?"

Zhao Chishu's face turned slightly red, and he told Zhao Xihua exactly what Deng Xiao had said that day. Zhao Xihua's heart instantly settled down.

"Third sister, just remember one thing, you must cherish those who treat you well. Master Deng treats you well, and you treat him well too. You two must be well together. This is a true match made in heaven."

Although Zhao Chishu felt a little strange when hearing this, he also felt that it made some sense.

When the two were talking, they heard some low voices outside and the footsteps of servants hurriedly walking out. Today was Zhao Chishu's good day and nothing could happen. Zhao Xihua told Zhao Chishu to wait for the Deng family to come and welcome the bride, and she left the room to see what happened.

As soon as she walked out into the corridor, Pingshui had already found out the news and was walking towards her.

Pingshui said with a complicated expression: "Sister, something happened to the eldest lady."

"What did you say?"

Pingshui lowered her voice and said, "Before, the Sun family sent someone to find the master and the eldest lady, but the master didn't go because he was afraid of offending the Deng family. Only the eldest lady went. I heard that the Sun family disliked the eldest daughter for not being able to have children, so they wanted to divorce her and remarry her with an official's daughter. They also said that for the sake of the son-in-law, the eldest daughter doesn't have to leave the Sun family, but she has to give up the house she lived in before, and the date for the rebirth has been set."

A trace of desolation seeped out of the corners of Zhao Xihua's lips, without any mockery or sympathy. She knew that this time, no, Zhao Ziqin's life was over.

Pingshui lowered her voice again and said, "Sister, I heard that the eldest lady couldn't bear such a blow and hanged herself in the eldest master's study yesterday. If she hadn't been discovered early, she would have died."

Zhao Xihua's expression was somewhat silent: "Everyone has their own destiny. You still have to be a real person to live well in this world."

"Miss, Miss, the Deng family is here to welcome the bride, and the son-in-law is here too." Chunfeng, who was outside to inquire about the news, walked in happily.

A smile immediately spread across Zhao Xihua's face: "Let's go and take a look."

As soon as the Deng family's wedding procession arrived at the Zhao family, there were waves of exclamations from the onlookers. The wedding procession was also very large. In addition to some royal relatives and nobles, there was also Gu Lun, the new head of the Gu family, the most popular person around the current president.

Deng Xiao was also dressed extra festively today. He had always been a gamer and had never thought that he would get married. It was like a dream. He stood there stupidly in a daze until he saw Zhao Chishu being carried out. Then he was kicked out by Gu Lun.

He panted hard and fell to the ground in front of Zhao Chishu, causing people all over the street to laugh. Deng Xiao patted the dust off his body and picked up Zhao Chishu horizontally.

Deng Xiao was holding a gentle person in his arms at this moment. The faint fragrance that wafted into his nose was the smell he liked. From now on, this woman belonged to him, Deng Xiao. From now on, he would be her mountain, her support, and the person he would protect in this life. Thinking of this, Deng Xiao's steps became more firm, and he carefully carried Zhao Xihua into the wedding car step by step.

Zhao Xihua and Gu Lun also took the Gu family's car to go to the Deng family to attend the wedding.

There were many guests coming to the Deng family to celebrate. Gu Lun knew that today was a good day for his brother, so he naturally stepped forward to block a lot of wine for him, but he ended up drinking too much himself.

In the car back to Gu's house at night, Gu Lun leaned back on the car seat. Zhao Xihua laughed in a low voice with some reproach: "What a person you are. It's just your brother's wedding, not yours. Why did you drink so much to get involved?"

She stuffed a sobering pill into Gu Lun's mouth and said, "You've been very tired these days. Drinking so much will only hurt your body."

"Hua'er." Gu Lun suddenly pulled her into his arms. Zhao Xihua lay in Gu Lun's arms, unable to move.
