The Rebirth of an Orphan

This Aunt Wang used to be a servant who took care of Sun Xiao's mother. Later, she assisted the old lady in raising Sun Xiao, and was considered Sun Xiao's half-adoptive mother.

No one in the entire Sun family dared to underestimate Aunt Wang, and even Sun Xiao respected her very much.

But when Aunt Wang looked at Zhao Xihua's calm demeanor, she couldn't help but sigh secretly. As expected, the person the young master liked had a really good appearance and temperament. More importantly, she had a very calm personality, which was incomparable to many daughters of wealthy families.

Zhao Xihua looked at Wang Ma, trying hard to recall what this person had done in her previous life and what interactions she had with her. However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, the impression of this person in her memory was very vague.

She knew that her marriage with Sun Xiao would not be smooth, and the previous marriage was arranged only because Sun Xiao was already terminally ill and her turn was chosen.

What's more, Sun Xiao's health is getting better and better, so the marriage between them is definitely meaningless. How many daughters of wealthy families have their eyes on Sun Xiao? Which girl would not be tempted by such a handsome and elegant young man? How could he choose her, an orphan?

It was Wang Ma who spoke first: "My eldest young master has liked the fourth young lady for a long time, but our Sun family is a big family, and marriage cannot be rushed. Besides, the young lady is not in the Zhao family now, so some things are too easy to handle. How about this, I wonder if the young lady can go to the Sun family with me, my old lady wants to see the young lady."

Zhao Xihua understood in her heart that it might not be so easy for Sun Xiao to marry her. Old Madam Sun was very shrewd, and the person who could support such a large Sun family was probably not a good person.

Even so, Zhao Xihua felt that she had no ability to resist now. It seemed that she had to bite the bullet and rush in even if it was a dangerous place.

"Since you want to see the old lady, then I must go. Sorry to trouble Mother Wang." A glimmer of approval flashed in Mother Wang's eyes. It was a pity that this girl had such a good temperament. She was born with the temperament that only the mistress of a noble family had. It was really admirable.

It's just a pity, such a pity, why was she kicked out by the Zhao family? It's also a fate of misfortune, so this marriage can't be successful.

After Zhao Xihua and Wang Ma left, Uncle Lin quickly said hello to Pingshui: "I'll ask someone to call the eldest young master and tell him that the old lady's people took the fourth young lady away. You just wait here for news."

A major event happened in the Kyoto Presidential Palace today. The fourth prince was nearly shot by the president. The third prince and the fourth prince are brothers from the same mother. This incident shocked the entire Kyoto.

It is said that the reason why the Fourth Prince angered the President was because of his relationship with Mr. Mo, the Ninth Prince.

With such a big incident happening, all the aristocratic families had to be prepared for danger, so Young Master Sun quickly left Yuncheng and went to Kyoto to find out the situation.

Zhao Xihua got into the Sun family's car, and a familiar feeling came over her. In fact, she had ridden in the Sun family's car quite a lot in her previous life. The Sun family's lifestyle was even more low-key and luxurious than that of the Zhao family.

Before she could think too long, she heard Aunt Wang say, "Miss Zhao Si, we're here." After that, she helped Zhao Xihua get out of the car carefully.

This was the second time Zhao Xihua came to the Sun family since her rebirth. After getting off the car, she looked up at the magnificent Sun family mansion in front of her.

It is surrounded by bamboo forests, pine trees and cypresses, with villas of different sizes stacked together. The courtyard has a garden, rockery, a small pond and stone paths, giving it an elegant and tranquil yet majestic aura.

Aunt Wang said to her, "Miss Fourth, please follow me." Zhao Xihua nodded and followed Aunt Wang's steps. Unexpectedly, Aunt Wang did not take her in through the front door, but walked into the Sun family through the side door.

Zhao Xihua smiled bitterly. She had entered through the side door both times. In her previous life, even though she was the legitimate eldest lady of the Sun family, she had entered through the side door in disgrace. Now, she was once again led in through the side door by Aunt Wang. She already understood everything.

After experiencing such a tragic experience in her previous life, face and dignity no longer mattered to her and she was open-minded.

"Fourth Miss, please come this way—" Aunt Wang did not take Zhao Xihua directly to Old Lady Sun's room, but took her to a remote courtyard in the back garden.

The courtyard also had three main rooms and two side rooms, which was quite grand. The servants who came in and out of the door held their breath and had serious expressions.

After Wang Ma went in to report, she soon invited Zhao Xihua, who was waiting outside the door, in.

Zhao Xihua walked into the main room and walked around the rosewood screen at the door. She saw an old lady in a dark purple dress and covered in jewels sitting on the nanmu bench inlaid with gold threads. She was looking at Zhao Xihua steadily with a pair of old eyes, which was more intimidating than the last time she saw her.

Last time at the Sun family banquet, Old Lady Zhao brought them to visit the old lady. She was quite kind at that time, but this time she came alone, with a solemn and strict look that made people feel a little timid.

This is the expression that the old lady of the Sun family should have. No matter what she did in her previous life, she always had this expression, but this time it seemed that there was more hatred mixed in.

She walked up slowly, bowed slightly and said, "Hello, old lady!"

Her manner is dignified and graceful, her expression is just right, and her whole body is filled with an unfathomable temperament.

Old Mrs. Sun's eyes flickered. The last time she saw this little girl, she was planning to marry her dying grandson to bring him good luck.

It’s just that I met too many young girls last time, and I’m old now, so I can’t remember everyone’s face clearly. At that time, I just thought that the fourth young lady of the Zhao family was a relatively calm girl, and should be worthy of my grandson.

But this time when I met this girl alone, after taking a closer look, I couldn't help but feel a little wary. This girl is not someone who is easy to deal with.

Her grandson is the treasure she has held in her hands since he was a child, and she must not let him be deceived by this evil-minded vixen.

Previously, his grandson brought this girl to live on the farm without any care, which caused all kinds of gossip. But his grandson was going to be a high-ranking official in Kyoto, so how could he let his reputation be tarnished by such a woman?

But for the sake of her grandson's face, she didn't want to stop him. She just wanted to wait until her grandson's body recovered completely before looking for another candidate for the eldest lady. Unexpectedly, her grandson proposed to get engaged to this girl as soon as possible. This was the first time that her grandson made a decision against her wishes.

Old Madam Sun looked at Zhao Xihua without saying anything, but her eyes grew colder and colder. After a long while, she said, "Are you Miss Zhao Si?"

"I am--" Zhao Xihua met the cold eyes of Old Lady Sun, and her expression did not change at all.

Old Mrs. Sun held up a small teacup with a fragrant aroma of tea. She didn't touch it, nor did she let Zhao Xihua sit down. She just let Zhao Xihua stand there, as if waiting for her to teach her a lesson.

"Do you know why I asked you to come?" asked Old Lady Sun.

"I don't know!" Zhao Xihua responded slowly.
