The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua followed Madam Hua into the car. After fighting for so long, this was the first time they were so close to each other. Zhao Xihua glanced at Madam Hua who was sitting upright, and suddenly looked at the part of her neck that was exposed at her collar.

Mrs. Hua actually had a very beautiful birthmark on her neck. This birthmark was not as annoying as other birthmarks. It looked like it was painted on. It was shaped like an exquisite lotus, and a petal was just exposed so that Zhao Xihua accidentally saw it.

No wonder Mrs. Hua always tied her collar up high no matter what the weather was like. Everyone in the Gu family thought she was afraid of catching a cold neck. Could it be that Mrs. Hua intentionally covered up the birthmark?

Zhao Xihua thought so subconsciously, but she was also a little confused. It seemed that she had seen this birthmark on someone before, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Suddenly she jumped in shock. She and Gu Lun were husband and wife in name only. One time, she accidentally ran into Gu Lun who was changing clothes, and found that Gu Lun also had a birthmark on his waist that was similar to a lotus.

Zhao Xihua's heart was already in turmoil. How could they have the same mark? They were not biological mother and son.

And why is Mrs. Hua so worried about being seen by others? Is there something strange about the birthmark on her neck? Zhao Xihua looked at Mrs. Hua again, but Mrs. Hua subconsciously pulled up her collar and turned her eyes away to look at the scenery outside the window.

The more Zhao Xihua thought about it, the more confused she became. She didn't know what was going on. However, she would wait until Gu Lun came back before telling him about it. After all, he was the only one who could make the decision on matters involving Gu Lun's biological mother.

Soon the car stopped in front of the Presidential Palace. Zhao Xihua and Mrs. Hua followed the court servants to an extremely elegant and quiet palace.

This place is a bit remote, but there are many palace servants coming and going, which makes this remote place seem much more lively.

Normally, this newly arrived young lady was not qualified to occupy a palace alone, but Gu Yayu was the daughter of the Gu family and was now pregnant. Mo Yuan looked up to her a little more for Gu Lun's sake, and thus Gu Yayu's status was elevated.

Seeing Zhao Xihua and Mrs. Hua coming, several people quickly welcomed them in. As soon as they stepped into the house, they saw Gu Yayu leaning on the soft sofa, with a bit of fatigue on her face but a complacent expression.

Before Zhao Xihua and Madam Hua could prepare to salute, "Mother, sister-in-law, please sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Madam." Zhao Xihua watched Madam Hua sit down next to Gu Yayu, and she also sat down on the chair next to her.

The servant brought in the tea, and Zhao Xihua just took a sip, just wetting her lips but didn't put it in her mouth. Nothing can go wrong here, especially in Gu Yayu's territory, so she had to be extra careful.

Mrs. Hua chatted with Gu Yayu for a while, talking about how the baby in her belly was doing and whether the president had visited. She also showed Gu Yayu the gift she brought. As expected, Gu Yayu liked the pair of mutton-fat jade dolls. She smiled at Zhao Xihua and said, "Thank you for the gift, sister-in-law. I like it very much."

Zhao Xihua also smiled and said, "As long as the young lady likes it, this can be considered as congratulations to the young lady."

Gu Yayu then winked at the person next to her, and that person took all the servants in the room out and closed the door tightly.

Zhao Xihua felt a little suspicious when she saw this. Could it be that Gu Yayu had something to say to her that was unknown to others?

Gu Yayu picked up the teacup in her hand, looked at Zhao Xihua and asked, "Brother has been away for a while. I wonder if he has written a letter to sister-in-law?"

Zhao Xihua looked at Gu Yayu with cold eyes and said, "Gu Lun didn't have time to contact his family before he left for the war, and there is no news until now. I am also very worried, but no news is good news. After all, such national affairs are not something I, a woman, should be involved in."

The smile on Gu Yayu's face gradually disappeared. She looked at Zhao Xihua and said, "Zhao Xihua, there's no one else here right now. Is it so difficult to talk to me?"

When Zhao Xihua heard what Gu Yayu said, she knew that this woman was angry, but she was not sure what this woman wanted.

"I don't understand what you mean, young lady?"

Suddenly there was a loud splash, and the cup in Gu Yayu's hand was thrown towards Zhao Xihua, and immediately there was a lot of blood. Zhao Xihua stood up, with a calm expression on his face without any change.

Madam Hua, who was sitting on the side, said, "Zhao Xihua, the young lady is pregnant now. If she gets angry with you, you can't afford it. The young lady's meaning is very clear, just listen carefully."

Gu Yayu's face was a little ferocious at this time. She tapped Zhao Xihua's face and said, "Now there is news that Gu Lun's 200,000 Qinglong troops are trapped in Laocheng, with heavy casualties. I'm afraid Gu Lun will die without a complete body in this battle. The capital will move south soon. You are not a member of the Gu family. Why do you occupy the Gu family's underground palace? Hand it over quickly."

Zhao Xihua looked at Gu Yayu's ferocious face. It turned out that it was for the underground palace and the Xuantie Order.

Gu Yayu said coldly, "Everyone knows that if Gu Lun leads his troops into battle, he will die. He is such a smart man, how could he not give his things to you for safekeeping? You can't take them to the battlefield and let the enemy take them, right? If you take them out, our Gu family can still make good plans. If you continue to be stubborn, no one can save you."

Madam Hua on the side said slowly, "You are a smart person. You also know that we are in the same boat. No matter what, the young lady is pregnant with the heir. If the underground palace is handed over to the young lady, the child in her belly will have a better chance of reaching that position. Naturally, you will benefit from it. What do you think?"

Zhao Xihua looked at the two greedy faces in front of her and felt strange and cruel. How could there be such shameless people? She no longer had the energy to play along with them. It seemed that these people didn't know their own weight unless they were taught a lesson.

Zhao Xihua's face turned cold, and she looked at Gu Yayu and said, "Gu Yayu, your brother once told me that the president's health had been failing due to an overdose of medication half a year ago."

"Zhao Xihua, are you crazy? You are so brave!" Gu Yayu didn't expect Zhao Xihua to be so bold that she openly said that the president was in poor health. She was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhao Xihua laughed coldly, "Gu Yayu, you have only met the president a few times, and when the president was with you, he had already taken a lot of drugs that caused hallucinations. You know exactly what happened that day."

Gu Yayu's face suddenly turned pale. She subconsciously took a few steps back and then fell on the soft chair behind her. Her whole face was filled with fear.

Mrs. Hua on the side was also extremely nervous. She could no longer sit still and stood up all of a sudden, her eyes filled with ruthless intent to kill and silence the witness.
