The Rebirth of an Orphan

Pingshui began to check it bit by bit, and said: "Now that my sister's identity has changed, she will definitely arouse the envy and jealousy of many people. Those people in the Zhao family are insidious and vicious. Going to the ancestral temple to worship is a big deal, we have to be careful."

Zhao Xihua looked at Pingshui with satisfaction as she carefully checked her clothes. Seeing that she was so careful even with her clothes, she felt more confident about returning to the Zhao family this time.

The people around Zhao Xihua are not fools. They will still help her break through the thorny difficulties in the Zhao family and live her own life.

She is no longer the penniless Fourth Miss who was bullied by others. She has her own Huichuntang, money to spend, and her stranger fellow villager Aqiang who helps her secretly. She also has Uncle Lin who helps her openly. The people around her are all dedicated to working for her. What reason does she have to be afraid?

"No need to check, there must be no problem." Zhao Xihua said with a smile. Since the dress was delivered by Zhao Yan himself, who would dare to do anything to it?

Pingshui reacted and helped Zhao Xihua put on the dress. The dress was dark red with black lace around it. Although the color was a bit old-fashioned, it still looked noble.

Moreover, this dress suits her skin tone very well. The sunlight from outside the window shines in, and the dark red forms a contrast with her jade-like white skin, making Zhao Xihua exude an unusual temperament.

Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Xihua walking out of the room, his face changed drastically, and a fresh scene suddenly popped up in his mind.

It was that woman who once stood on the stairs of Qinghonglou, the most lively building in Kyoto. She was wearing a red floor-length dress and walked down the white jade steps slowly and gracefully. Her eyes were full of arrogance and charm that looked down on everything in the world, which hurt her eyes badly.

He was really a little flustered. How could this girl change so much? He didn't want this girl to step into the Zhao family again, but now this girl's backstage was too big, and he didn't dare to offend her at all.

Fortunately, she was taken in by the eldest son of the Sun family. As long as she was included in the family tree, she could leave the Zhao family in a month if everything went well. Even if she was a troublemaker, let her harm the Sun family. As long as he gave an explanation, it would be fine.

"Uncle, the painting is ready." Zhao Xihua, wearing a formal dress, bowed to Zhao Yan. His words and actions were so graceful that the people watching outside the door were stunned.

The legendary woman of bad character actually behaved and spoke like a lady from a noble family, which was completely different from the rumors that had been circulating among the Zhao family before. Everyone said that the rumors were not credible. As expected, people privately speculated that those ugly words might have been made up by the Zhao family themselves.

Zhao Yan couldn't stand the pointing and criticizing by the people of Yuncheng, so he hurriedly took Zhao Xihua to the car, "Hua'er, follow us to the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall to worship our ancestors before going home."

Zhao Xihua nodded, but as soon as she got in the car, she saw the first wife's cold and dark face.

I could hear the eldest wife muttering in my ear: "Heh, Zhao Xihua, don't be too proud. An orphan girl with a bad fate will never be able to turn the world upside down in her life."

Zhao Xihua disagreed and smiled contemptuously, "Aunt, I don't need you to worry about it. But I think you should worry about my eldest sister's marriage. After all, the Deng family is definitely hopeless. In addition, it was my eldest sister who offended my cousin from the Qin family before. These are troublesome."

"You..." These few words made the eldest wife so angry that she was speechless.

The Zhao Family Ancestral Hall is located high up in the mountain behind the main Zhao family house. It is the ancestral hall of the entire Zhao family. It is surrounded by crisp pines and cypresses. More than a dozen steps lead up to the entrance of the hall, and the overall environment appears solemn and dignified.

Zhao Xihua followed Zhao Yan into the ancestral hall. It was rare to see such a grand adoption ceremony, but it did not last long. The ceremony was soon over and Zhao Xihua had to move back to the main house of the Zhao family.

Just like that, Zhao Yan brought Zhao Xihua and a large group of people back to the Zhao family. Along the way, Zhao Yan's back was sweating uncontrollably. He felt that it was a disgrace to his Zhao family to bring that girl around like this.

But he had no choice, he had to do this.

Zhao Xihua followed Zhao Yan to the door of the Zhao family. Standing in front of them was a group of Zhao family members.

She looked around and saw all kinds of expressions, including hatred, greed, envy, and jealousy, but she just smiled faintly.

"Congratulations, fourth sister," Zhao Ziqin, wearing a red dress, spoke first with a forced smile.

"Congratulations, fourth sister." Zhao Chishu still had a decent smile on her face, but it was obvious that she was really happy. Since the whole family hated this sister, she couldn't show it too obviously.

"Are you tired, fourth sister? Come to my room and sit for a while when you are free when you get home. I recently bought some good tea leaves, and I saved them especially for you, fourth sister." Zhao Lingyun had a sweet smile on her face, as if she and Zhao Xihua had a very close relationship.

Zhao Ziqin's face changed, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold. This Fifth House is too good at changing its attitude according to the situation, right? Zhao Xihua just came back and he was already trying to curry favor with her so ugly.

Seeing that his own brother Zhao Chenyang was excluded from the upper circles in Kyoto by the young master of the Zhao family, the wind direction began to change.

But Zhao Xihua was lucky. Even though she was kicked out of the Zhao family in a miserable way, she didn't expect that the situation would change so quickly. She actually became the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family and was even going to marry into the Sun family and become the future mistress of the Sun family.

Zhao Ziqin was really jealous to the point of going crazy. She had met the eldest young master of the Sun family and he didn't look terminally ill at all. He was just an elegant and noble young man.

I had originally thought that I could enter the circle of nobles in Kyoto through Qin Xiaoxiao, so that I could find a good marriage partner. I didn't expect...

But the woman in front of her turned into a phoenix overnight, and she was really unwilling to accept it.

Zhao Xihua was surrounded like the moon surrounded by stars for a while. The wives of each room took turns to present gifts to congratulate her on her successful adoption. However, she just smiled faintly to everyone and handed the gifts to Pingshui.

Only when she saw Zhao Chishu did her expression change and her smile became sincere.

Zhao Chishu was still as calm and composed as usual, without a trace of flattery or fawning, only true happiness from the bottom of his heart.

"Third sister, I'll treat you to tea when I'm free." Zhao Xihua held Zhao Chishu's wrist tightly. It was cold. Zhao Xihua immediately understood that her third aunt must not have given her the medicinal food she had prepared for her.

But she also knew that now was not the time to talk about this. She must have a good talk with her Third Aunt someday. She couldn't let her destroy her only daughter with her own hands. It would be too late to regret it then.
