The Rebirth of an Orphan
Chapter 23 Rejection of Marriage
Zhao Xihua didn't expect that she would encounter such an opportunity by accident. She also knew that Sun Xiao might look at her strangely after what she said, but no one would go against their own life. As long as there is a little hope, who doesn't want to live a good life?
If Sun Xiao's disease could be cured, perhaps she would not marry into the Sun family. If she did not marry into the Sun family, perhaps she would still have a chance to pursue her own happiness. She did not want to be rich and powerful. As long as she could be safe and healthy, that would be her greatest wish.
She looked at Sun Xiao and said slowly: "If I can cure your illness, that is, remove the poison from your body, can you promise me one thing?"
Detoxified him? Sun Xiao smiled helplessly and said, "Then tell me what happened?"
Zhao Xihua said word by word: "If someone wants to arrange a marriage for you recently, I hope you can refuse it."
Sun Xiao was a little dazed, but a hint of deep meaning flashed across his eyes, and then he nodded: "Okay, I promise you."
"Keep your word." Zhao Xihua's face instantly lit up with a bright smile. Sun Xiao couldn't help but feel a little unreal, and he said unconsciously: "A gentleman's word is as good as gold."
Zhao Xihua picked up the cup and looked at Sun Xiao and said, "There is something wrong with this cup. I will borrow it to study it first."
"Wait, do you mean there's something wrong with this cup?" There was a complicated look in Sun Xiao's eyes.
Zhao Xihua said hurriedly: "You guessed correctly, I think there is something wrong with this cup, and I suspect that the poison in your body came from this cup."
"What you said may make me believe you a little, but this cup was given to me by my grandmother. Could it be..."
Sun Xiao didn't want to say anything more. After all, it was really outrageous to say that the person who poisoned him would be his grandmother. Both his parents died when he was young, and it was his grandmother who raised him. He would never believe that his grandmother wanted to poison him.
Zhao Xihua moved her lips, but ultimately did not dare to say that his grandmother was also killed by this cup. After all, it was just a suspicion now, and she could not speak without any evidence.
"You're overthinking it. I don't mean to sow discord between you two. I just think the cup is familiar. I think I've seen it somewhere before. I don't have any other intentions. What's the matter? Are you afraid that I'll take your treasure away and sell it for money?"
As Zhao Xihua spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed. Her cool and sparkling eyes looked at Sun Xiao, making Sun Xiao feel that she was so adorable. A hint of tenderness that he himself was not aware of could be seen in her eyes.
"No, it's just a cup. It's just that this cup was something my grandma liked before, and she gave it to me later. It's not like other small items that I can carry with me. It's probably not convenient to carry it with me when I go out."
Yes, Zhao Xihua was so focused on finding out the secret hidden in the cup that she neglected this. Not to mention the others in the Sun family, even if Zhao Ziqin saw it, she would slander and accuse her of theft.
Sun Xiao smiled when he saw her like that: "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will naturally find a way to send this to you."
Send it over? Wouldn't that be a clear way to bring bad luck to her?
Sun Xiao smiled again and said, "Well, you should go back. It's okay for me to be out for so long, but I'm a dying man after all. But it's not good for you."
Sun Xiao had said so much, if she lingered and didn't leave, it would be annoying, so she had no choice but to say goodbye and leave the pavilion.
However, not long after Zhao Xihua left, Sun Xiao's sickly face turned cold, and even carried a hint of murderous intent.
"Ye Ying, Chu Xing!" As soon as Sun Xiao's voice fell, two bodyguards in black suits flashed out from behind the tree, "Master, what do you want?"
At this time, Sun Xiao's gentle expression had faded, and instead he had a bit of ruthlessness and determination. He supported his shaking body, endured the exploding pain in his temple, and said coldly: "Go and check Zhao Xihua, the fourth daughter of the Zhao family, for me. I want all her information. In addition, you have to help me with a few things.
The two of them looked up at Sun Xiao and understood. It turned out that the eldest son already knew that his family was planning to arrange a marriage for him to get him a happy marriage. It was said that the object of the marriage was the fourth daughter of the Zhao family.
After the two of them received the order and left, two servants came and helped Sun Xiao up from the pavilion, pushed him in a wheelchair and sent him back to his room to rest.
After just a few words with Zhao Xihua in the pavilion, he felt so tired that he felt he had no strength left lying on the bed.
"Young Master, it's time to take medicine." The housekeeper Uncle Zhong came in with some pills. Uncle Zhong was a subordinate of the deceased old master of the Sun family. He had always worked loyally with the old master. Later, after the old master passed away, he resigned and came to the Sun family to become the full-time housekeeper of the eldest son Sun Xiao. He was considered a respected elder in the Sun family.
Sun Xiao asked the servants to leave the room, and then asked Uncle Zhong to close the door. He then looked at the medicine in Uncle Zhong's hand and asked, "Uncle Zhong, how long have you been taking these medicines?"
"What's wrong? Why are you asking this suddenly?" Uncle Zhong was still wondering why Sun Xiao suddenly asked this?
Suddenly, Sun Xiao felt a burst of exploding pain in his head again. The pain only lasted for a moment and then went away, but it wouldn't be long before it happened again.
To be honest, no one thought that he was poisoned. Generally, if he was poisoned, the effects would be immediate and the pain would not be relieved immediately. Most doctors would just think that he had a tumor in his brain, but they could not find anything.
"Your illness is very strange. You suddenly got sick a year ago. You've seen so many doctors and taken medicine for a year, but you still can't be diagnosed with the disease. It's too strange." Uncle Zhong said with a worried look on his face.
Sun Xiao took a breath and looked at Uncle Zhong and said, "Uncle Zhong, don't you think I'm not sick, but poisoned?"
When Uncle Zhong heard this, he shuddered all over and suddenly seemed a little dumbfounded. Could it be that someone was secretly plotting to murder the young master? Who was it? ...
As for Zhao Xihua, when she returned to the banquet hall, she felt that something was strange around her. Old Mrs. Zhao looked extremely ugly, and the eldest lady glared at her fiercely when she saw her. When Zhao Chishu saw her come back, he quickly pulled her to sit next to him.
When Zhao Xihua sat down, she happened to look at Zhao Ziqin. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ziqin's eyes were scolding her as if he wanted to kill her.
Zhao Xihua looked at Zhao Ziqin's expression and didn't expect that she could be so angry and lose her composure in such public. She felt it was a little funny and a little strange. However, she just left for a while. What happened?
Did she find out about her encounter with Sun Xiao? No, this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Ziqin, so she shouldn't be so angry, right?
Zhao Chishu lowered his voice and said, "Fourth sister, you must be thirsty after being out for a long time. How about a drink to moisten your throat?"
Before Zhao Xihua could reach out to grab the drink cup, Zhao Ziqin said coldly: "Fourth sister, where have you been? Haven't seen you for so long?"
Zhao Xihua smiled and said, "Sister, I just went out to get some fresh air and took a walk outside."
Zhao Ziqin lowered her voice and whispered in her ear: "Fourth sister is very cunning. You must explain it to me after we get home."
What does that mean? What happened? She was completely puzzled as to why Zhao Ziqin was so angry.
