The Rebirth of an Orphan

Chapter 56 Biological Father

Zhao Xihua has always been a calm person, but now it’s about her mother, so she is still a little nervous.

Caiyun squeezed Zhao Xihua's tightly clenched hands and said, "Hua'er, you must have suffered a lot in the Zhao family over the years, right?"

"Master, it's all in the past. I won't think about those sad past events anymore." Zhao Xihua said.

Caiyun sighed and looked at Zhao Xihua and said, "In fact, the Zhao family has nothing to do with you, and you are not the daughter of the fourth master of the Zhao family."

Zhao Xihua looked at Caiyun suddenly and was completely stunned.

Caiyun sighed, looked at Zhao Xihua and said, "Back then, your mother was the most famous beauty in Kyoto."

A wave of sadness welled up on Zhao Xihua's face. Her mother died early and she had no memory of her. All that was left to her were those few cold relics.

Caiyun took a sip of tea and said, "Your mother was the owner of Qinghonglou in Kyoto. She was not an ordinary actress."

Zhao Xihua was shocked. In her previous life, she had been a young lady in the Sun family for a period of time. She knew something about the interactions between the Sun family and the dignitaries in Kyoto, and she also knew about the place called Qinghonglou.

Naqinghonglou is the place where most of the powerful families in Kyoto like to gather and drink. The most attractive thing is that there are many actors with unique skills who perform their talents there every day. The shows are very exciting and the actors are all very beautiful.

She knew before that her mother was an actress at Qing Hong Lou, but she was actually the owner of Qing Hong Lou, which really surprised her.

It is said that during the heyday of Qing Hong Lou, it was praised by most of the dignitaries in the imperial capital. There were also rumors that Qing Hong Lou was a secret intelligence organization that specialized in collecting all kinds of information and intelligence to serve the dignitaries in Kyoto.

If the mother was just a small-time actress and was taken back to the small city of Yuncheng by her father because she became useless due to her pregnancy, it would be understandable.

But she was the boss of Qinghonglou, and her father was just a minor official who was temporarily staying in Kyoto waiting for assignment. How could she be willing?

Caiyun held Zhao Xihua's somewhat cold hand and said, "After all, your mother's affairs involve the secrets of the Presidential Palace. The less you know, the better. Today I can only tell you what you should know. After all, you are an adult, and there are some things you should know."

"Back then, your mother, as the owner of Qinghonglou, was actually working for a powerful woman in the Presidential Palace." There was a hint of desolation in Caiyun's voice.

Zhao Xihua gradually accepted her mother's identity in her heart, and guessed that her mother must have some intricate relationship with those so-called powerful people.

Caiyun said, "Although your mother worked for those powerful people, she retained a pure nature. Once, a person in the Presidential Palace asked your mother to check the information of a person. If it was proved that this person matched some rumors in the Presidential Palace, that person would be killed."

"So your mother went to investigate it herself. After all, the matter was more important, and it was the man who told her personally. But she didn't expect that during her investigation, she fell in love with the man. That man was your biological father."

Zhao Xihua took a deep breath after hearing this, and his slightly loosened fist clenched again because of nervousness.

Caiyun looked outside with a smile on her lips: "In fact, your father was born into a noble family, but he encountered some misfortunes when he was a child and had to leave Kyoto. He was fostered in the countryside. Later, he inherited his master's medical skills and began to travel around the world, trying his best to help those in need."

Caiyun paused and turned to look at Zhao Xihua: "Your father is really a good man with a kind heart. He has never hurt anyone. Even if everyone has let him down, he can still treat them with kindness. Your mother was attracted to him and fell in love with him, but..."

Caiyun sighed again: "Your mother is the owner of Qinghonglou, and your father is the one that the nobleman wanted to kill, but in the end your mother secretly got together with your father and had you."

Zhao Xihua felt a pang of pain in her heart. She thought she could live a stable life in this life, but she didn't expect that her life experience would be so earth-shattering.

She didn't know what to say, she just felt very upset. It turned out that her biological father was actually a kind and noble man.

She suddenly remembered the small silk folding fan left by her mother. She had been carrying it with her since it was found by the Zhao family.

"Master, look, is this the handwriting left by my father?" Zhao Xihua took out a folding fan and handed it to Caiyun.

Caiyun opened the folding fan and looked at it carefully. All the past memories came to her mind at once. She could no longer control the blood in her heart and spit it out, splashing onto the folding fan. The elegant silk folding fan was covered with blood, which was immediately shocking.

"Master—" Zhao Xihua anxiously came to Caiyun and quickly took a tissue to wipe the blood stains from Caiyun's lips.

"It's okay, it's okay." Caiyun gritted her teeth to stop herself from crying, but when the relics of the person she loved appeared in front of her, how could she control herself?

But in front of Fengyi's daughter, she couldn't lose her dignity. The unswerving love between her senior brother and Fengyi ended up with a tragic ending. What could she do if she was heartbroken?

Everyone who knew her said that the senior brother doted on her like his own sister, but who knew that the naive girl secretly loved her senior brother deeply.

Caiyun took a breath and returned the silk folding fan to Zhao Xihua with great reluctance.

She said slowly: "Yes, this is something your father left for your mother, but actually it is also left for you. You should keep it well, it can be regarded as a thought.

Zhao Xihua felt a little confused. It turned out that she had a biological father, and her biological father was being hunted by a nobleman. This meant that her father's life experience was not simple and unpredictable.

Caiyun looked at Zhao Xihua, who was in pain, and said, "I know you are in a mess right now, but I also told you that there are some things you should not know. Just remember that your father was born in a famous family, but because his family suffered a misfortune, he went to the countryside to learn medicine from a master. Later, he offended the powerful people in Kyoto and fell into trouble. However, all these things cannot be avoided because of the Zhao family."

"Zhao family?" Zhao Xihua was stunned. She had doubts before. How could a woman as talented and beautiful as her mother be willing to marry an ordinary official in a small place.

Caiyun looked at Zhao Xihua: "Back then..."

Then he sighed and said, “It’s just that the love between two people in this world is the most rare and the most fragile, just like the flowers in the severe winter, although they bloom beautifully, they don’t last long.

Zhao Xihua felt a bit desolate after hearing this. In her previous life, she did not experience the unforgettable love like her parents. Although she lived again and returned to her best age, her heart was already broken. She did not have those beautiful wishes and only hoped to live her life in peace.
