The Rebirth of an Orphan

Madam Hua looked at Zhao Xihua and said, "The Gu family is now broke, and the shops and farms they had before are not worth much anymore. The family's migration to the south and their current expenses are both considerable. Although the money Gu Lun earned before was not from the Gu family, the gold, silver and jewelry in our old man's underground palace belong to the Gu family."

Zhao Xihua suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Madam Hua. No wonder she was so attentive today. It turned out that she was asking about the underground palace. Was she worried that if Gu Lun died in the battle, it would be an easy opportunity for her, an outsider, to die?

Madam Hua said word by word, "Although the old man inherited this underground palace to Gu Lun, it is the foundation of the Gu family. The words left by the Gu family's ancestors were that the treasures in the underground palace should be used when the Gu family is in danger. Now that the Gu family is in danger, the things in the underground palace should be taken out and used by everyone."

Zhao Xihua finally understood Mrs. Hua's thoughts. She was afraid that it was also Gu Yan's intention, but she was embarrassed to bring it up, so she let Mrs. Hua bring it up.

Zhao Xihua sneered secretly. These people believed that Gu Lun and the Ninth Prince were in a dead end this time. If Gu Lun lived, he would inherit the Gu family's underground palace. If Gu Lun died in the battle, the underground palace would belong to other members of the Gu family. Gu Lun doted on Zhao Xihua so much that he might have given the Xuantie Order to Zhao Xihua for safekeeping a long time ago. How could they rest assured?

However, these people did guess one thing. Gu Lun gave the treasures and his own property to her for safekeeping, but he did not give it to her but carried it with him.

Zhao Xihua still remembers what Gu Lun said to her: @The Black Iron Order is something that arouses a lot of hatred, so it would be better if he could bear it.

Zhao Xihua stood up and looked at Madam Hua and said, "Mother, I understand what you mean, so I will explain it to you clearly. First, Dongyuan and Gu's family were separated when Gu Lun was at home. If you insist on mixing them together, I can only move out and move back when Gu Lun comes back. It's just right that I can build a Buddhist temple outside to copy scriptures and pray for Gu Lun."

"Secondly, the matter of the underground palace is between the old man and Gu Lun. I don't have the Black Iron Order. The Black Iron Order can not only open the underground palace but also mobilize troops. Gu Lun will not give me such a thing."

"Thirdly, in addition to the Black Iron Order, the blood of a direct descendant is also needed to open the underground palace. You should ask father for a solution. This idea really cannot come to me. I don't have money, and I'm sorry, I don't have anything else. Hua'er is leaving now!"

After Zhao Xihua finished speaking, she did not give Mrs. Hua any chance to speak. She turned around and left the main building. Before she took a few steps out of the door, she heard the sound of something falling in the house.

Zhao Xihua smiled coldly. This Madam Hua was too shameless. She was so desperate for money that she thought everyone owed her money. Ridiculous!

When Zhao Xihua returned to Dongyuan, Chunfeng said angrily: "@They are all bastards. My son-in-law just went to war, and they are forcing me to pay money. How can you bully me like this?"

Zhao Xihua smiled and said, "If they don't bully others, they wouldn't be like them. Don't pay attention to them. By the way, go find Aqiang to clean up the private club of the son-in-law. Then we will move in. Although they can't get anything, it's annoying to worry about them.

Chunfeng responded and hurried out to do his work.

Gu Lun had told Zhao Xihua before that if he had to leave Kyoto for some reason, he must not get involved with the Gu family. If those people embarrassed her, she should move out alone. The secret guards of Tianmen Camp are no pushovers. With the people of Tianmen Camp protecting Zhao Xihua, her life should not be in danger.

After Zhao Xihua and Mrs. Hua had things made clear, Mrs. Hua didn't cause any trouble for three days. Unexpectedly, she came again on this day.

Mrs. Guan accompanied her and said carefully to Zhao Xihua, "Young Madam, Madam wants you to go over. She said that the Third Miss is pregnant, and the Presidential Palace has given Madam special permission to go visit her. Madam said that Young Madam must go with her.

Zhao Xihua recalled in her mind what Gu Lun had said to her. Mo Yuan was now very weak and there was no way he could make his wives pregnant. But how come Gu Yayu, who had just become a concubine, got pregnant?

Now Gu Lun is fighting in the front, but Gu Yayu is doing all these complicated things. Isn't she just not giving people a break? Is she trying to make things so complicated?

Mrs. Guan was anxious as she saw Zhao Xihua's face becoming increasingly ugly. She knew that the young mistress and the lady didn't get along, and they were sad around the lady, so she could only say respectfully, "Young mistress, the young master is fighting outside now, so you'd better be more cautious here. Although there are some conflicts between the masters of our Gu family, after all, they all have the surname Gu and are a family. What do you think?"

Zhao Xihua sneered inwardly. It turned out that Mrs. Hua had experienced too many old people around her, so she spoke very rigorously. However, she was right about one thing. She had to go to the Presidential Palace now. Gu Yayu was now the young lady of the Presidential Palace, and she was the young lady of the Gu family. If she didn't go, those officials who were making trouble out of nothing would say bad things about Gu Lun again.

Those people are not good at fighting, but they are very good at swearing.

Zhao Xihua nodded and promised Mrs. Guan that she would come over later.

After all, it was good news, so Zhao Xihua couldn't dress too plainly. She wore a light red long skirt with a jade-green windbreaker on the outside, and went out with Pingshui.

Zhao Xihua looked up at the gray sky. Although it was the beginning of spring, it was still about to snow. Her heart ached slightly. She wondered how Gu Lun was doing. It was still chilly in spring and she didn't know if he had brought any warm clothes.

"Has my brother-in-law cleaned up the house in the suburbs?" Zhao Xihua asked Pingshui.

"It's already packed, sister, are we really going to move in?"

Zhao Xihua nodded and said, "Spread the news these days, saying that Gu Lun went to the battlefield, and the young mistress was so worried that she became ill. She was so ill that she had to move to the suburbs to recuperate. She also built a Buddhist temple there to fast and pray for Gu Lun and the soldiers on the front line."

Pingshui responded and secretly admired that this was a really good idea. As long as they moved out of the Gu family, those people would not be able to bother their young lady.

I just hope that my brother-in-law will come back safely when spring comes. It would be even better if he and my lady have a little boy or girl by then.

When they arrived at the main building, they saw from afar that Mrs. Hua had already packed up and even prepared the gifts. When she saw Zhao Xihua coming over, she said directly, "No need to wait, let's go to the Presidential Palace now."

Zhao Xihua asked Pingshui to hand a sandalwood box to Madam Hua and said, "Mother, I heard that the young lady is pregnant. This is a great event. I don't have anything else to give. This set of dolls carved from mutton-fat jade is for the young lady to play with. You can give them together."

Mrs. Hua looked at the jade doll in the box and thought it was cute. Her daughter should like it. Her expression softened a little and she said, "You are thoughtful. Come on, follow me now."
