The Rebirth of an Orphan

Sun Xiao's face suddenly showed joy. He excitedly knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady again: "Thank you grandma for your help."

Old Madam Sun added, "Although you chose this woman because you like her, our Sun family is a noble family after all, and we can't break the rules. You can't spoil her too much."

"Okay, I got it." Sun Xiao suddenly felt relieved, but he didn't expect his grandmother to agree so quickly, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

When Zhao Xihua left the Zhao family, she once said that if one day the Zhao family kicked her out, they would definitely take her back.

Unexpectedly, this sentence came true so soon.

After a few days, Zhao Xihua's eyes had recovered. She was tidying up and drying some medicinal herbs she had bought in the backyard of Huichun Hall.

Pingshui ran in hurriedly, with some joy on her face: "Sister, the head of the Zhao family is here to see you."

After hearing the day before yesterday that the old lady of the Sun family had personally arranged the marriage between the eldest son of the Sun family and his sister, Pingshui was so happy that it felt like a dream.

However, I also heard that the condition proposed by the Sun family was that the Zhao family should take my sister back and re-enter the family genealogy, and officially adopt my sister under the name of the first wife, so that my sister's identity would be a legitimate daughter of the Zhao family.

Although the eldest wife was extremely unwilling, she had to face the pressure from the Sun family and had to grit her teeth and accept Zhao Xihua's identity as her daughter.

Today was the day when the Zhao family came to pick up Zhao Xihua, but the person who came to pick her up was not the Zhao family's housekeeper but the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Yan, himself. Even Zhao Xihua himself couldn't believe it. Does it still hurt from the slap on Zhao Yan's face?

Zhao Yan was a man who cared a lot about face. How could he be willing to do such a thing? Agreeing to take Zhao Xihua back and adopt him under the name of his wife was already the limit of his concession.

You have to know that the eldest wife's family is from the Qin family, a big family in Kyoto. Doing this will definitely make the Qin family unhappy.

Zhao Xihua also knew that according to Zhao Yan's usual practice, the most he could do was to secretly take her back and hold a simple adoption ceremony as a formality.

But what she never expected was that it was Zhao Yan who came to pick her up in person. Adopting her as the eldest wife was already a big deal, and it also offended the Qin family in Kyoto. How could Zhao Yan be so bold?

She was just about to say something to Pingshui when she unexpectedly saw a group of people surrounding Zhao Yan, who was dressed in a suit and tie, as he walked in.

Zhao Xihua was even more stunned. Why was he still dressed so formally? Wasn't this scene a bit too grand?

What was even more unexpected was that the first wife followed behind, who was also dressed in gorgeous attire, but the only difference was that her face was extremely dark and ugly, and was filled with suppressed hatred.

No way? Why is it so grand? If Zhao Xihua saw it correctly, the Zhao family's senior clan elder, the third uncle, followed behind. Even the third uncle was invited, it seemed that the matter of changing the family tree to become the legitimate daughter was a foregone conclusion.

Zhao Xihua walked up to Zhao Yan and recalled what her master had said to her. The man in front of her was neither her uncle nor her stepfather, but was most likely the real murderer who killed her biological father.

She hated him deep down, but after all, it was he who rescued her mother from prison and helped raise the daughter of his rival.

In the past, she might have been grateful to the man in front of her for giving her a bite to eat, but now everything has changed. She no longer owes the Zhao family anything. The lives of her biological father and mother are enough to pay off the Zhao family for the bite of food they gave her.

She couldn't help but have some concerns when teaching those people from the Zhao family a lesson before, but not now. She would seek justice for those who have been wronged and revenge for those who have been vengeful. This time, she would definitely not show mercy.

Zhao Yan looked at the girl in front of him who was dressed in plain clothes. For some reason, the look in her eyes suddenly reminded him of Feng Yi. How could she be so similar to Feng Yi back then?

He couldn't help feeling a little flustered. He didn't want to pick up the girl himself, otherwise the entire Zhao family would be in turmoil again. But things happened one after another and caught him off guard.

At first, the Sun family wanted to marry her to be the eldest lady or the mistress of the Sun family, but the condition was that they had to bring Zhao Xihua back to the Zhao family.

What made him even more uneasy was that he actually met a person last night. It was the young master of the Deng family who stopped his car and took him to meet that person. That person was the ninth prince, Mo Shao.

Oh my God, that’s the ninth prince. Normally, it would be difficult for him, even the officials in Kyoto, to see him.

The Ninth Prince didn't say anything extra. He just said one sentence and left. But that one sentence scared him half to death.

Zhao Yan remembered the words of the Ninth Prince. His daughter actually saved the Ninth Prince's life. "What this prince dislikes most is ungrateful people."

Thinking of the Ninth Prince's words, Zhao Yan felt a little nervous and started to be cautious about the girl who was about to become his daughter.

However, he still had to maintain his dignity as a parent: "Hua'er, have you had enough trouble? Come home with me if you have nothing else to do. Now that you have officially entered into an engagement with the Sun family, what's the point of living outside all the time?"

Zhao Xihua didn't know why she felt a little uncomfortable from Zhao Yan, as if he was a little afraid of her? This was a bit strange, but now was not the time for her to think about it.

Zhao Yan has done everything he can to save face, and it's time for her to show her ability.

Zhao Xihua took a step forward and said to Zhao Yan with a sincere expression: "Uncle, I understand. Please forgive my mistake."

Zhao Xihua could admit her mistake like this, so Zhao Yan didn't know what to say. He could only perfunctorily say to the clan elder, Third Uncle: "Third Uncle, I'll have to trouble you with the matter of Huaer entering the clan temple."

"Okay, okay. Please come with me, Miss Zhao Si." Third Uncle was an old man with a kind face. Normally, he would be asked to intervene only when there were important events in the clan. Who would have thought that he would have to be asked to intervene in such a matter as the adoption of a little orphan girl?

Third Uncle felt that this matter was a little tricky, but he inexplicably felt that he could not neglect Zhao Xihua no matter what.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang, the most capable lady beside Mrs. Zhao, came over with two servants holding the sacrificial dress and said to Zhao Xihua, "Miss Fourth, please change into your dress."

Zhao Xihua lowered her head and looked at Mrs. Zhang in front of her. It was she who brought people to destroy all of her mother's belongings. The look in her eyes became cold and sharp. The once domineering Mrs. Zhang's heart skipped a beat and she felt a creepy feeling.

Zhao Xihua smiled faintly: "Thank you, Pingshui, come and help me change my clothes." Then she turned and walked into the room behind her.

Pingshui was really happy at this moment. Her sister had finally made it. When she was taking her clothes and preparing to follow Zhao Xihua into the room, Uncle Lin walked up to her and whispered something to her.

After she walked into the room with the clothes, she said to Zhao Xihua who was waiting there, "Don't worry, sister. Uncle Lin asked me to check the clothes first."
