The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua felt her scalp tingling. This method of poisoning was too covert and insidious.

She continued, "For example, the sparrow just now, the dried ginseng and the tea, if eaten separately, it's fine, but if they are eaten together, will it be poisoned?"

“You are only half right. In fact, dried ginseng and tea do not conflict with each other. It’s just that the cup woven with ivy becomes highly toxic when tea is added.

Zhao Xihua was stunned. So that's how it was. Everything suddenly became clear.

Ivy has the effect of relieving fatigue and anti-oxidation. Using this branch to weave a cup for drinking water can also beautify the skin.

But Sun Xiao is relatively weak and often eats some tonifying foods. The more he eats, the more toxic it becomes.

It takes people's lives without anyone knowing.

Caiyun smiled bitterly and said, "No one actually knows this method of harming people. Only my master knows it. He was the personal doctor of my former boss in Kyoto, and he was a very handsome man..."

Zhao Xihua, who had been listening attentively, could not help but feel a surge of anxiety in her heart. Aunt Yun was imprisoned here from Kyoto. Was it related to her high-ranking boss? What kind of person was that?

Looking at Zhao Xihua's changing expression, Caiyun smiled and said, "What? Are you scared? Do you still recognize me as your master?

Zhao Xihua couldn't help but feel nervous. She was just the adopted daughter of a noble family in the small city of Yuncheng. If she really had a relationship with Aunt Yun, Aunt Yun should be knowing the secret that the high-ranking official in Jindu City could not tell.

She is already racking her brains every day to compete with those sisters, and it is already very stressful. If that person in Kyoto finds out about her relationship with Aunt Yun one day, will she still be alive?

Wouldn't it be as easy for that person to deal with her as to kill an ant? She really needed to think it over carefully, but she didn't expect that her serious consideration would make Caiyun admire her very much.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xihua looked at Caiyun with a resolute look: "Master, since you are my master, then your business is also my business. No matter what happens in the future, there is always a way out. We will just deal with it as it comes."

Caiyun nodded with a big smile on her face, then she moved a brick on the wall behind the door, reached in and took out a very old book and handed it to Zhao Xihua: "The toxicity caused by the conflict between ivy and ginseng can be resolved. The antidote is in this book. Take it back and study it carefully to see if you can come up with a way to detoxify it."

At this moment, she understood Aunt Yun's good intentions, which were to tell her not to worry and to allow her to improve her medical skills.

So she put away the medical books and the cups she brought. It was about time to leave, so she said to Caiyun apologetically, "Master, I'm really sorry. It's very difficult for me to be in the Zhao family right now, and some things haven't been arranged yet. I will take you away from here after I have everything settled down."

Caiyun shook her head and said, "It's okay. I know where I'm going. Now that I have you, I have no regrets in my life. I also want to go out with you to live and see the outside world, but that person deliberately brought me here. Will she let me leave here?"

"Is someone trying to harm you here? Otherwise, Master, come with me now?" Zhao Xihua was anxious.

Ke Caiyun held Zhao Xihua's hand tightly and said, "I can spend my old age in peace if I stay here well. If you come here often and that person in Kyoto finds out, you will be in danger. So don't come here unless there is something special. And you must keep the ancient pharmacopoeia book that I gave you well, and don't let it fall into the hands of outsiders."

Zhao Xihua's eyes were moist. She had never been cared for or concerned by her elders. She knew Aunt Yun didn't want to implicate her, but she didn't expect that even her desire to take her out to live in her old age was not allowed.

Is there really no way out? No, she doesn't believe it. She must have a way. If she lives again, she doesn't believe in fate. She will definitely find a way to make her and her family and friends around her all well.

At this time, the middle-aged woman outside came urging them to come, but they couldn't get into trouble. "Take care, Master!" Zhao Xihua turned around and left without any hesitation.

Looking at Zhao Xihua's departing back, Caiyun slowly took out a photo from the hole in the wall where the ancient books were kept. The photo showed a young man, gentle and elegant yet noble. He stood tall in the woods and smiled gently at Caiyun.

Caiyun's tears welled up instantly. She gently stroked the man's face in the photo and whispered, "Brother, Master has been killed, you have been killed, Fengyi is also gone for unknown reasons, but your child is still alive. She looks so much like you and is so pretty. You said you couldn't bring yourself to kill that man, so let your child avenge you. You can see that the child has a strong character, she will definitely not let you be wronged in vain... cough cough cough..."

Caiyun coughed up blood. She had been holding it in in front of Zhao Xi's screen, and it was quite difficult for her to hold it in.

She has now reached the end of her life.

After Zhao Xihua and Pingshui came out, they walked straight to the car they rented. The car was still parked there, but the driver was nowhere to be seen.

They had agreed before that the driver would wait for them at the original place, but now they didn't know where to go.

Zhao Xihua was still a little anxious, fearing that if she delayed too long, someone would find out that she was not at home and she didn't know how people would embarrass her.

She pulled the car door and it opened. "Pingshui, the driver shouldn't have gone far. The car isn't locked, so he should be nearby."

Pingshui understood and thought that maybe the driver had gone to the bathroom and there was no toilet nearby. "Sister, why don't you go wait in the car first and I'll watch outside."

That's fine. Zhao Xihua nodded and said, "Why don't you shout around and tell the driver that we are leaving."

Zhao Xihua bent down to get into the car, but suddenly her body froze and she was grabbed by someone. She bumped into a cold chest, her nose hurt a little, and there was a slight stinging pain from a cold knife against her neck.

Outside, Pingshui's footsteps were getting farther away, but her voice calling the driver could still be heard.

At this moment, Zhao Xihua was pressed down on the man. The smell of blood was so strong and pungent. Then she smiled bitterly. What was coming had come and she couldn't hide from it.

However, the scene now is a little different from the previous life. In the previous life, it was Qingming Festival and she followed the Zhao family to visit the ancestral tomb. On the way back, she was kidnapped by the young master of the Mo family. Then she had to take care of this seriously injured man and received a necklace from him.

It's just that Zhao Xihua was not conspicuous at that time. Even if she disappeared in the middle and returned to Zhao's house very late, no one would notice it, let alone ask about it.

She was such a person who was not taken seriously by others. Even if she died outside, no one would know about it, right?

But this life is different. She is now being watched by many eyes. If she goes back too late, who knows what problems will arise.
