The Rebirth of an Orphan

Caiyun calmed down her emotions and said, "Back then, Zhao Yan passed the civil service exam and was waiting for his position to be assigned in Kyoto. At that time, he spent all day hanging out with a young man from a noble family in Kyoto. In fact, he was just running errands for him."

"That nobleman likes your mother and often brings a group of people to watch your mother's performances, spending a lot of money every time. In fact, many people like your mother, but this nobleman is a little crazy. Seeing that your mother was not moved by him, he wanted to force your mother to be with him."

"But your mother is not an ordinary little actress after all. She must have her own people and methods, so she used some means to severely punish the nobleman, and since then, they have been enemies."

Zhao Xihua asked doubtfully: "What does this have to do with Zhao Yan?"

Caiyun laughed coldly and said, "That man is very scheming. He secretly told your mother that the nobleman was going to deal with her in order to gain your mother's trust."

"He can act. He usually acts like a weak scholar. He doesn't act like other noble sons who are greedy when they see her. In addition, he saw your mother and father but didn't tell anyone at the time, so you mistakenly believed him."

"These two kind-hearted fools, two talented and good-looking top students, were fooled by such a villain. Zhao Yan, for his own benefit, told the nobleman about your mother and father, so the nobleman used his connections to deliberately spread the news that your mother had deceived the nobleman in the Presidential Palace."

At this point, Caiyun's body began to tremble. "That's how it was. The nobleman was furious and arrested your parents. Your father was forced to death that day. Your mother was pregnant with you, so in order to keep you alive, she had no choice but to ask your father for help to save her."

"Oh, a man—" Caiyun laughed coldly, "In fact, Zhao Yan really liked your mother, to the point of risking his life. He really thought of a way to exchange your mother out of prison with a dead man, and brought him to Yuncheng, betrothing him to Mr. Zhao Si, who fell in love with your mother at first sight."

"Who would have thought that a small person like him would do such a bold thing and actually save your mother."

Zhao Xihua finally understood why her mother died of depression. No wonder she was destined to be an unlucky person from birth. No wonder she wanted to marry her into the Sun family and live as a widow, because she knew that she was not the daughter of the Zhao family at all.

Caiyun said everything she needed to say, but she did not tell anyone the shocking secret, and she couldn't tell anyone. She hoped that this secret would never be known to anyone, so that the girl in front of her could be kept safe.

"Hua'er, I have said everything I should say. It is up to you to decide what to do in the future. In fact, Zhao Yan has special feelings for your mother. It should be safe for you to stay in the Zhao Mansion. I don't know what your mother chose back then, but she lived with humiliation and gave birth to you. She must have had many difficulties."

Caiyun stood up slowly after she finished speaking, then walked to the window, looked at the gloomy sky outside and said, "Hua'er, your mother's life was very hard and tiring. If you have a choice, don't be too involved and bound, and live well.

"Okay, Master, I'll remember that."

The most precious thing in this world is to live a good life, but this wish is just a luxury for Zhao Xihua. However, even if it is a luxury, he wants to realize this wish with the people he wants to protect.

Caiyun turned around, held Zhao Xihua's hand and said, "It's getting late, you should go back too. When I've finished my work, come pick me up."

Zhao Xihua actually knew very well in her heart that her master had lived here for more than ten years, and it was not realistic for him to leave immediately. Moreover, her master was sent here by a nobleman standing in a high place. If she forcibly took her master away, the nobleman would probably do harm to her if he knew about it.

She just hoped that the noble man would forget all these things after so many years.

"Master, how soon can I pick you up?"

The master smiled lovingly and said, "I know you are anxious, so come and pick me up in three days."

Zhao Xihua finally breathed a sigh of relief. Three days passed quickly, and she had just enough time to decorate her master's room.

"Okay, I'll come pick you up in three days. I have some money here as a gift to you. You're leaving soon, so it will be easier for you to say goodbye to everyone."

As he spoke, he handed the money in his hand to Caiyun. What a prudent child he is. Caiyun was full of admiration for him.

"Okay, I'll take it." Caiyun accepted the money, but seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Master—" Zhao Xihua looked at him and asked, "Tell me if you have anything to say. I will definitely help you."

Caiyun said with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face: "Your father was Master's senior brother, and they grew up together. Back then, he..."

Although so many years have passed, Caiyun's voice still reveals some emotion when she mentions that person: "I don't know what happened to him the night he died. I only remember that when he left, he told me that Fengyi was in danger and he had to go to save her. Then he never came back."

"After he got into trouble, all the people and objects related to him gradually disappeared. I kept fleeing, and was later rescued by... an old friend. However, I could escape the death penalty, but I could not escape the punishment of living. In the end, I was imprisoned here."

She looked at Zhao Xihua, "Master really misses him, can you leave the silk folding fan with Master for three days?"

Zhao Xihua didn't expect her master to make this request. For some reason, she felt a little sad for her master.

"Okay, Master." Then he took out the folding fan from his body and handed it to Caiyun.

Caiyun carefully put away the folding fan and said, "When you leave, take the medical books I sorted out earlier with you. Since we are opening a clinic, these books will definitely be useful."

Zhao Xihua called Pingshui to help her take the medical books away and left Ning'an Nursing Home. It was dark when they returned to the clinic.

Pingshui helped Zhao Xihua out of the car. Her sister's face looked bad all the way. She knew that it was not easy for her sister, but her sister would always be strong enough to get through it no matter what. But this time, she saw despair and deep sadness on her sister's face.

After Uncle Lin parked the car, he took out the medical books from the car and prepared to move them in through the side door. Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw the tall man standing at the main door, and his heart skipped a beat.

He was almost tortured to death by Mr. Gu these days, but he had no ability to resist in front of this master. It seemed that Mr. Gu had endless tricks waiting for him. He had no way out and could only listen to his orders obediently.
