The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua was very satisfied with the man in front of her, as he was calm and smart. She said, "I will call you Uncle Lin from now on. You will be the housekeeper here from now on. I still have some things for you to do. It concerns your eldest young master, so you must do your best."

Wang Lin was delighted when he heard this. He was just an ordinary errand boy beside the eldest young master, but he didn't expect that he could be promoted to housekeeper here by the fourth young lady. Moreover, the eldest young master thought highly of the fourth young lady. If he worked hard, he might be able to rise to prominence.

He couldn't help but asked excitedly, "Fourth Miss, if there is anything you need me to do, I can do it right now."

“Well, then you wait a moment.” After saying that, he walked to the table, found a pen and paper and started writing. After he finished, he handed the written prescription to Wang Lin.

"Take this prescription and buy some herbs for me." Then she asked Pingshui to give some money to Wang Lin. Now that she had money, it was much easier for her to do things.

Not long after, Wang Lin bought all the medicinal materials on the prescription given by Zhao Xihua. He also went to several Chinese medicine shops to buy them according to Zhao Xihua's requirements.

Zhao Xihua asked Wang Lin to help move the unconscious Mo Lingtian to a bed in a guest room, gave him some tips, and let him leave. She also called Pingshui and asked her to guard the door of the room and not let anyone in.

She took some instruments and supplies for disinfection and wound bandaging and placed them beside the bed. Then she lowered her head to look at Mo Lingtian who was still unconscious. She raised her hand and paused, then insisted on unbuttoning Mo Lingtian's shirt and taking it off.

Mo Lingtian looked a little thin, but surprisingly he was very strong. After taking off his clothes, the first thing he saw was his horrific wound.

A wound deep enough to penetrate the bone ran along his left shoulder all the way to the right side of his abdomen. The gaping wound was still oozing blood. Looking at the shirt still stained with blood, she had to help him stop the bleeding as soon as possible, otherwise he would die from excessive blood loss.

So Zhao Xihua quickly cleaned the wound with disinfectant, applied some hemostatic medicine, and after bandaging the wound, he discovered that in addition to the long wound, there were some other hideous scars of varying sizes on his body.

Zhao Xihua couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering what this future prince-like figure had experienced before.

Zhao Xihua felt that she was very adept at treating wounds. Indeed, she quickly treated all of Mo Lingtian's wounds. She then crushed the herbs, boiled the medicine, and took it internally and applied it externally. It was already dark when she was so busy.

She didn't feel anything before, but now that she was done with her work, she felt really tired. Pingshui quickly handed her a hot towel. Zhao Xihua wiped the sweat from her face and then looked at the dark night, intending to go back quickly.

She just hoped that she hadn't been discovered yet, and that she could get away with it by going back after dark. When she hurriedly told Pingshui to ask Wang Lin to go outside to get a taxi, she realized that Sun Xiao had been so thoughtful that he had already arranged a car and a full-time driver for her.

Zhao Xihua felt better and better about Sun Xiao. This young man from aristocratic family would not go to such lengths even if he wanted to repay a favor. He even thought of some details for her, which really surprised her.

Zhao Xihua looked at Mo Lingtian, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. His breathing was steady and his complexion looked much better. He would probably recover after a few days of rest.

She leaned over to cover Mo Lingtian with the quilt and was about to turn around and leave, but she didn't expect that as soon as she turned around, someone grabbed her wrist tightly.

It was Mo Lingtian who grabbed Zhao Xihua and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?" Zhao Xihua didn't expect that this man would recover so quickly.

"Thank you, young lady. Could you tell me your name?" Mo Lingtian said slowly.

Zhao Xihua pulled her hand out of his and said, "I am Zhao Xihua, the fourth daughter of the Zhao family in Yuncheng."

Mo Lingtian nodded, then handed the item in his hand to Zhao Xihua: "Thank you, young lady. Please accept this necklace as a token of your love. I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."

Zhao Xihua looked at the necklace and was dazed when she remembered how Zhao Ziqin had cheated her of the necklace in her previous life.

Mo Lingtian's arm was a little sore from holding the necklace. He didn't know whether Zhao Xihua would accept it or not, so he continued, "Thank you, young lady. I don't mean to be rude to you, but I can't repay you for saving my life. I hope you can accept this token. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can take this to Kyoto to find me. I will help you no matter what."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xihua leaned forward and said, "Sir, you are too kind. This must be something very important to you, so I cannot accept this token."

"Why?" Mo Lingtian didn't expect that the girl in front of him didn't even want the reward and promise he had received, and refused so bluntly?

But Zhao Xihua smiled and said, "Sir, you don't have to give me anything to repay your kindness. Just remember that I am Zhao Xihua, the fourth daughter of the Zhao family in Yuncheng, and remember my appearance. Don't be fooled by others."

She continued, "Sir, you can rest here for a while, but I know someone will come to pick you up soon. I just hope you won't cause any trouble for me. After all, I am a nobody and my words are not taken seriously. I hope you will understand. Thank you, sir, take care, I am leaving now."

Zhao Xihua left quickly after she finished speaking.

Mo Lingtian looked at the jade necklace in his hand and a smile appeared on his face. This girl was really interesting. He had seen too many young ladies from famous families, but never one as peculiar as this one.

This necklace will be given away one day.

Here, Zhao Xihua got into the car assigned to her by Sun Xiao. It was too late, so Wang Lin drove them both back.

Pingshui was very nervous. She had left home in the morning and it was already midnight. She had no idea what the Zhao family was like now.

Soon their car arrived at Zhao's house, and they still sneaked in through the back door. Pingshui gave some money to the doorman when they left, so even though they came back late, the man still said that he had left the door open for them.

After entering the door, the two of them walked along the forest path in the back garden towards their courtyard. As soon as they arrived at the dilapidated gate of the courtyard, they saw a dozen fierce-looking servants standing there, both male and female, led by Mrs. Zhang who was beside Old Lady Zhao.

Mrs. Zhang smiled proudly and said, "Fourth Miss, you are back?"

It seemed that her dilapidated courtyard had also been targeted by someone. It seemed that she would not be able to escape this time. If she had returned earlier, perhaps nothing would have happened. However, she met Mo Lingtian on the way and wasted time, and was caught by them.

She raised her hand and pulled Pingshui, who was standing in front of her, behind her. She ignored Mrs. Zhang's sarcastic tone and strode into the courtyard.
