The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua remembered that when she woke up from a serious illness in her previous life, she was also happy for a moment, so she hurried to tell the news to her husband and the first wife.

That is, while she was still weak after waking up, and Pingshui had just left to find her master and the first wife, and there was no one around, the second lady of the Zhao family, her own elder sister, sent someone to bring her a bowl of boiling white fungus and red dates soup and deliberately poured it on her face, ruining half of her face.

Because she did not receive timely diagnosis and treatment, she ended up being disfigured.

The Zhao family is superstitious and pays special attention to the fate of their children. Her birthday is July 15th, which brings bad luck and heavy yin energy to her life. Most members of the Zhao family think she is unlucky. She only has one face that stands out among her sisters. After her face was disfigured, she was criticized even more by the Zhao family. In the end, she was married to the vegetative patient of the Sun family and could only wait to die.

Now that she was reborn, she vowed never to live like she did in her previous life, being bullied and tortured.

"Sister, why?" Looking at Zhao Xihua who was in a daze, Pingshui continued to ask,

"I just woke up and I went to report to this and that, as if they liked me so much. Forget it, don't bother them anymore. I'll wait until I'm fully recovered."

"Yeah, that's right, sister. I'll listen to you." Pingshui nodded meaningfully, "Then sister, the Chinese medicine just spilled. I'll go make another bowl." Pingshui turned around and went out in a hurry, but unexpectedly almost bumped into someone.

"Ouch, you bumped into me." A middle-aged and somewhat seductive woman walked in slowly, pushed Pingshui away with disgust, and cursed: "Stupid girl, don't you have eyes? Can't you look at the road?"

Pingshui was about to open her mouth to retort, but she held back. This person was the second young lady's aunt Wu Fang, who lived in their second wife's home for at least half a year every year. She couldn't afford to offend such a person.

"Who's here? What a bad temper! When did such an unruly outsider appear in our Zhao family? Since you're here as a guest, you should behave like a guest. Otherwise, I'll go talk to the first wife. Such an unruly guest cannot stay."

Zhao Xihua slowly sat up, holding onto the edge of the bed, glancing coldly at the speechless Wu Fang.

Wu Fang never expected that the usually cowardly Fourth Miss would become so strong after a serious illness. She couldn't help but get furious, but she did not forget her mission today.

She suppressed the anger on her face and said with a fake smile to Pingshui who was in a daze: "Pingshui girl, go and make the medicine. I'll be watching over the fourth young lady here."

Pingshui was hesitant to leave when she saw this, but Zhao Xihua unexpectedly ordered, "Pingshui, go and make some medicine for me."

"Okay," Pingshui turned around and left after hearing Zhao Xihua's instructions. After all, Doctor Qin had specifically instructed that the boiling of the medicine must be kept a close eye on and must not be taken lightly.

Only Zhao Xihua and Wu Fang were left in the room. A gleam of evil flashed across Wu Fang's eyes. She thought she had concealed it well, but it did not escape Zhao Xihua's eyes.

"Fourth girl, this is the Tremella and Red Date Soup that my Siqi asked me to bring to you. Look how good she is to you. I, as your aunt, have never enjoyed such treatment. Drink it while it's hot."

Zhao Xihua sat there quietly, with no expression on her face, except for a slight curl of the corners of her lips as she looked steadily at Wu Fang.

It's strange, as if this place is a little different from her previous life. Pingshui didn't even go out to report that she woke up, so why did her second sister send people to harm her?

Wu Fang had never seen Fourth Young Miss with such an expression. Her almond-shaped eyes were dark and deep, like a thousand-year-old well without a ripple. Wu Fang's scalp tingled when she saw it.

Her hands holding the Tremella soup were shaking a little, but she still kept her eyes down and walked forward. She had originally thought of just walking over quickly and pouring the boiling Tremella soup directly on top, but she didn't expect to hear Zhao Xihua's voice slowly in her ears, "How is Lao Zhang, the driver at home, doing during this period?"

Wu Fang suddenly felt like she was frozen in place, standing there motionless. She did have an affair with Lao Zhang, the driver of the Zhao family, but even her sister didn't know about it. How did the fourth lady know about it?

Zhao Xihua smiled contemptuously. Although the affair between Wu Fang and Lao Zhang was still a secret, they were caught in bed by Lao Zhang's wife a year later. Lao Zhang's wife was so angry that she had a big fight with the two of them, and the incident became known to everyone. Pingshui heard about it and told her as a joke.

"Although our Zhao family is not considered a wealthy family in Yuncheng, it is also a prominent family. The most taboo thing is this kind of immoral and corrupt things that ruin the family's reputation. If the eldest wife knew about this, I don't know how to deal with it. After all, you are just a temporary visitor, and Lao Zhang is just a small driver. And there are more than one driver in the family, right?"

Zhao Xihua's words were full of soft and hard tactics, which frightened Wu Fang. She didn't know what to do for a moment. She just held Zhao Xihua's arm and said earnestly: "Fourth girl, I know I have neglected you before and taught you a lesson many times. I apologize to you. Please consider that I am Siqi's aunt and don't embarrass me as an elder."

Wu Fang knew very well that if the eldest wife knew about her affair with driver Lao Zhang, she would definitely kick her out regardless of their relationship as relatives. It would be a small matter for her to be embarrassed, but she would never be able to enjoy such an easy life again.

In a hurry, she held Zhao Xihua tightly with one hand, while holding the bowl of hot Tremella soup in the other hand.

She estimated that the Fourth Miss must have evidence of her and Lao Zhang fooling around, so the most urgent thing was to coax the Fourth Miss into submission, and it would not be too late to find a way to deal with her later.

She thought that the Fourth Young Lady had always been timid and cowardly, and also soft-hearted. As long as she said a few nice words and begged her, she would definitely hand over the evidence to her.

Her plan was good, but she didn't expect that the bowl of Tremella and red date soup in her hand was suddenly touched by Zhao Xihua.

She was unable to dodge and fell to the ground, feeling a burning pain on her face. What happened? She was so shocked that she even forgot to cry out in pain.

"Does it hurt?" Zhao Xihua smiled slightly, and took out a tissue from the low cabinet next to her, and wiped the residue of Tremella soup splashed on the back of her hand. Her eyes paused, was there medicine in the Tremella soup? The back of her hand splashed with the residue of Tremella soup became red and swollen immediately. She breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was only a few points, it shouldn't be a big deal, and her sharp eyes shot to Wu Fang who was stunned on the side.

Wu Fang looked at the coldness in Zhao Xihua's eyes that she had never seen before. It was like a cold sword piercing her, making her even more nervous. How could this happen? It was as if Zhao Xihua knew that she was going to use the hot Tremella soup to ruin her appearance, so she did the opposite? How did she know?

A strange feeling surrounded her. For the first time, Wu Fang felt the thorough coldness. Her body began to tremble and her face hurt more. She wanted to cover her painful face, but as soon as she touched it, the pain became even worse.

Zhao Xihua leaned down and looked at Wu Fang with sharp contempt: "No matter how unfavorable my family is, it is not your turn as an outsider who curries favor with the powerful to bully me. Use your brain and think about it. What should you say about the driver Lao Zhang? Do you know?"

Wu Fang's heart trembled, and she quickly lowered her head and lay on the floor, saying in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, Fourth Girl, it's all my fault. Everything is my fault. Please forgive me."
