The Rebirth of an Orphan

When she walked into the yard, she saw that the door of the room was wide open. Sitting facing the yard was the cold-looking old lady Zhao, with the expressionless eldest wife beside her. Sitting on the other side was Zhao Yan, whose veins were bulging. Standing behind Zhao Yan was actually Zhao Chenyang.

Why is Zhao Chenyang here? Didn't I hear that he has been trying to get back in touch with Deng Xiao? Is he here to vent his anger on her since they haven't gotten back in touch?

The third wife also sat aside with a serious look on her face, while the fifth wife looked gloating. Several sisters stood behind them, and the small room was filled with so many people for the first time.

When Zhao Chishu saw Zhao Xihua and was about to step forward, he was pulled behind by the Third Madam.

Zhao Ziqin and Zhao Lingyun had expressions of enjoying the show. Humph, a rich lady did not go home in the middle of the night to go out and meet someone secretly. I guess she would be skinned alive if she doesn't die.

But before Zhao Xihua could open her mouth, Zhao Yan shouted, "Come here, there is no such shameless person in our Zhao family, beat him up!"

Zhao Xihua looked at Zhao Yan coldly and said, "Wait, uncle, I went out to see an old friend today, so I came back late. Even if I was wrong and shouldn't have hidden it from you, there is no rule that forbids me from going out, right? I don't know why so many people gathered in my simple place today. It's not so lively usually."

Zhao Yanping usually had absolute authority at home, and no one had ever contradicted him so bluntly. At this moment, he was so angry when he heard what Zhao Xihua said that he stood up suddenly and slapped Zhao Xihua hard in the face.

Zhao Xihua was caught off guard and the slap was quite heavy. She staggered and almost fell, but even though her body was shaking, she held on and did not fall.

"You are so shameless and dissolute that I will kick you out today."

Zhao Xi stretched his neck and looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Uncle, I know you adopted me out of helplessness, so you have hated me since I was a child. I am also used to you treating me like this. It's okay if you want to drive me away, but you shouldn't say such ugly words and throw dirty water on me and slander me."

Zhao Xihua's voice was trembling, and her cold eyes hurt Zhao Yan's self-esteem. He didn't expect that she would still be so tough after all this. "Okay, okay, you did something shameful and now you're blaming me, your uncle. Come on, beat me up and kick me out."

"Yan'er—" Old Mrs. Zhao could see that Zhao Xihua was obviously trying to provoke Zhao Yan on purpose so that he would drive him out.

She was a little puzzled. How could this girl have such courage? She was an orphan with no money, no job, and nothing. How could she dare to have such an idea to let the Zhao family kick her out? If she was kicked out, how would she survive?

"Uncle, don't be angry!" Zhao Chishu finally broke free from the Third Wife's restraints and knelt in front of Zhao Yan.

"Uncle, even if Fourth Sister has done something terribly wrong, please don't kick her out because it's her first offense.

The third wife came over quickly and grabbed Zhao Chishu and scolded him, "Shu'er, you have no right to speak here. Let's go back."

The Third Madam looked at Zhao Xi's portrait as if she were a flood or a beast. This girl was getting more and more outrageous and was about to be kicked out. If their Chi'er stayed with her for too long in the future, nothing good would happen to him.

Seeing that the Third Wife was sensible enough to forcibly take his daughter away, Zhao Yan did not care about it. Otherwise, he would not allow a junior to tell him what to do.

But Zhao Xihua looked at Zhao Yan coldly and said, "Uncle, are you sure you want to kick me out of the Zhao family?"

Then he said in a firm voice: "Well, I will accept the beating from my uncle today. From now on, I, Zhao Xihua, will have nothing to do with the Zhao family."

"You..." Zhao Yan didn't expect Zhao Xihua to say such words. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Okay, today..."

"Yan'er—" Old Mrs. Zhao raised her voice and interrupted Zhao Yan's words.

Old Mrs. Zhao sighed inwardly, wondering how her son could be so impatient that he didn't even realize that he was being forced to lose his composure by a little girl.

He had even forgotten about the marriage between the Zhao and Sun families. If he really drove Zhao Xihua out, how would he explain to the Sun family? If the Sun family wanted someone, which girl should he let go to the Sun family on behalf of Zhao Xihua?

After weighing the pros and cons, only Zhao Xihua is the most suitable candidate.

Zhao Yan was immediately shocked by the scolding from Old Lady Zhao. Was this girl plotting against him? When did this girl become so bold?

If it wasn't for the need for the Sun family's marriage, he really wanted to beat this traitor to death.

"Hmph—" He could only sit down slowly.

Old Madam Zhao looked at Zhao Xihua coldly and said, "My Zhao family is considered a prominent family in Yuncheng. The children of the Zhao family naturally pay great attention to the family's reputation. Fourth girl, you are really too bold today."

She paused and continued, "Fourth girl, as a young lady of the Zhao family, you have violated the rules of the Zhao family again and again, so I won't bother with you. But now you have done something so immoral. You have already been engaged to the Sun family. How will this end?"

Zhao Xihua had hardened her heart by now. She had never thought of forcing her uncle to kick her out, but people came to ransack her house one day after she left. If she didn't make a fuss, these people would become even more arrogant in the future.

Sometimes it is just like this, without destruction there is no construction. She really didn't have the courage to try it before, but she has just become Mo Lingyun's benefactor, and she can use his strength to do many things.

But I didn’t expect that Mrs. Zhao was more shrewd.

Zhao Xihua's voice also turned colder: "Old lady, I don't know where I have violated morals. Please explain clearly. Even if you beat me to death, let me die with a clear mind."

Mrs. Zhao didn't expect that this girl was so tough. Now she didn't even call her grandma. Her face darkened and she said, "Someone, show the things you found in the fourth young lady's room to her."

She turned around and saw Mrs. Zhang walking up to her with a folding fan in her hand, and a male servant holding a jar with half a dead snake hanging from the mouth of the jar.

Zhao Xihua knew that she couldn't carry the folding fan with her. After all, the two love poems on it could easily give people a handle, so she stuffed the fan into the gap in the corner of the wall, and also placed the jar containing the snake there to block it, to prevent anyone from going there and being afraid of the snake and not coming close.

Unexpectedly, they found it out after all. But she could not tell the truth. Her mother had died unclearly, and she could not let her mother be shamed again.

The eldest wife, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: @You are so young and you have not learned your lesson. Look at what shameless words are written on it, and you are still trying to argue here. You are going to make our Zhao family lose all face because of you. "

Zhao Yan could not stand the provocation from the first wife and shouted, "Come here, punish me with the family rules!"
