The Rebirth of an Orphan

Pingshui was about to go out when Zhao Xihua called her: "Go and find me an earthen jar." Pingshui responded and went out to find one.

Soon he returned to the room with the jar. Zhao Xihua rolled up his sleeves, revealing the little snake wrapped around his wrist. Pingshui was so scared that she covered her mouth. Zhao Xihua put the little snake into the jar and said, "Don't be afraid, it won't bite."

Zhao Xihua looked at Pingshui and said, "The most vicious things in this world are not necessarily poisonous snakes but human hearts. No matter how poisonous a snake is, there are ways to subdue it, but sometimes it is hard to guard against the viciousness of human hearts. Let's hold on a little longer, and I'll take you away after a while."

"Sister, are you leaving the Zhao family? That's great!" Pingshui said happily.

Pingshui was secretly worried. Seeing that more and more people in the Zhao family wanted to harm her sister, she thought she could leave after her sister found someone to marry, but she didn't expect that those people actually wanted her sister to go to the Sun family for good fortune.

Wouldn't that mean that my sister would be a widow after marrying there? Wouldn't her life be ruined? She was already being schemed against by so many people in the Zhao family. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to marry into the Sun family, a bigger family? Who knows how much more suffering she will endure?

Pingshui just thought this in her heart and didn't dare to say it out loud to make her sister even more sad. She wiped her tears and walked out of the room.

Zhao Xihua looked at the little venomous snake twisting and turning in the jar, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "I don't know how long it can last here? Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."

She placed the jar containing the poisonous snakes in a corner of the room and stood there looking at the mess that had been turned upside down in the room.

She had always been disliked by the Zhao family, and this time she had offended all the people in the Zhao family who had the power to make decisions. It was estimated that everyone would think that sooner or later she would be the waste sent to the Sun family for good fortune.

No, she is not a waste, she just doesn't want to fight or compete. In this life, she wants to take back everything that belongs to her.

Zhao Xihua squatted down and began to slowly pick up the messy things scattered on the ground. When she finished cleaning the empty room, she suddenly heard the voice of Mrs. Zhang, who was responsible for taking care of the old lady, outside.

Pingshui said impatiently to Mrs. Zhang, "Mrs. Zhang, what are you doing here again? You guys have plundered all my sister's things like bandits. What are you planning to do now?"

Mrs. Zhang was a smooth talker. She was not angry at all. She said calmly, "What are you talking about? I am just an employee. I do whatever the boss says. If you are unhappy, go talk to the old lady and don't take your anger out on me."

"You..." Pingshui's words were choked back by Mrs. Zhang. Well, they all work for pay. Even her sister couldn't do anything to these people, let alone her.

Mrs. Zhang deliberately raised her voice and said, "Fourth Miss, the Sun family sent a lot of gifts to our young ladies, some of which are specially for Fourth Miss. The old lady asked Fourth Miss to go over and take a look. Fourth Miss, is Fourth Miss here?"

"What's your name? I know." Zhao Xihua walked out of the room. The sunlight shone on her beautiful face, but it was so cold that it made people feel a little scared for no reason.

Mrs. Zhang looked at that cold, jade-white face and felt a little nervous. This Fourth Young Miss had become a different person since her last serious illness. She was so noisy.

However, the Sun family sent a gift today, probably just to apologize for the Sun family's daughter scolding the eldest lady. But it also shows that the Sun family has not given up on the matter between Zhao Xihua and the eldest young master of the Sun family.

For a family as big as the Sun family, even if the fourth daughter is powerful, she probably can't stand the Sun family's punishment. I think her hard days are still long. Mrs. Zhang repeated the old lady's message again and left in a hurry.

Afterwards, Zhao Xihua also changed into clean clothes and went to the old lady's room. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the table filled with all kinds of exquisite cheongsams, clothes and skirts, as well as some shoes and bags in all sizes. They were said to be gifts from the Sun family's daughter, and the young ladies in each room of the family could choose for themselves.

I heard that the daughter of the Sun family was sending gifts for everyone to choose from, and Zhao Siqi even came wearing a mask. She walked so vigorously and skippingly, not like someone who had just committed suicide and almost lost her life.

Faced with so many good things, Zhao Ziqin's face did not look good at all. As the eldest sister, she should be allowed to choose first, but she had no interest at all. After all, being humiliated in front of so many young ladies from aristocratic families could not be compensated by a few pieces of clothes.

She looked at Zhao Xihua who walked in from outside, and her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. She deliberately turned her head away and didn't look over, but she was secretly mad in her heart. She had to avenge this grudge. Humph, the Sun family's things have been delivered, and she must be dying soon.

This time, she had such a good opportunity to get close to the son of a noble family in Kyoto, but she ruined it. She will be in trouble in the future.

Zhao Xihua didn't care about these things, and she didn't pay attention to dispensable things. But thinking that Pingshui hadn't worn new clothes for many years, she picked out two pieces of clothes for Pingshui and took them back.

She thought that the little girl liked delicate colors, so she picked out a pink dress. Unexpectedly, as soon as she picked it up, Zhao Siqi pressed it on and said shamelessly: "I like this one, I'll take it first according to the order of seniority."

Zhao Xihua didn't say anything but just looked at her. Looking at her stupid and arrogant look, she was still so arrogant after causing such a big disaster. Did she really think that she was lucky enough to become the savior of the Zhao family?

But she didn't want to argue with her for the time being, so she picked out two more clothes with nice patterns. Unexpectedly, Zhao Siqi put her hand on them again, "I like this one too!"

Zhao Chishu, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly, "Second sister, what are you doing? Are you going to snatch anything that Fourth sister likes?" As he spoke, Zhao Chishu handed the two pieces in his hand to Zhao Xihua.

"Fourth sister, these two pieces of mine are beautiful, you can take them."

Zhao Xihua looked at Zhao Chishu and smiled, took the clothes, then handed the clothes to Pingshui and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Siqi slapped Pingshui in the face. Pingshui was caught off guard and her clothes fell to the ground and got dirty.

There was silence all around. What happened to the Second Young Lady? Was she going to start an open war?

Zhao Xihua's face darkened, but Zhao Siqi looked up with a smug smile on her face.

She was lucky that I didn't kill this bitch last night. I just want to suppress her well, otherwise she would really think she is so capable.

Zhao Xihua bent down and picked up the clothes on the ground, handed them to Pingshui, whose eyes were red, and said softly, "Be careful, hold it well this time, don't drop it again."
