The Rebirth of an Orphan

A Qiang said hurriedly, "Mrs. Sun, who is next to the second wife of the Zhao family, often goes to Xingchen Temple. Every time, she doesn't go to the main hall to burn incense, but goes directly to the Zen temple behind the temple. And every time she goes, she is brought in by a little monk."

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Could you have made a mistake?" Zhao Xihua wanted to confirm.

"Miss, I can guarantee that I am absolutely correct about this matter. I have confirmed it again and again, and it is very clear." A Qiang said seriously.

Zhao Xihua thought for a moment and said to Aqiang, "Can you find a way to find someone to sneak in and find out who Mama Sun went in to meet?"

A Qiang was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll think of a solution." He nodded to Zhao Xihua and walked out.

"Pingshui, how is the little girl who was beaten and chased out by Zhao Siqi? What's her name?"

Pingshui said, "That girl's name is Yuping. She came from the countryside. Her family was so poor because they had so many children. Her parents wanted her to go out and find a job. Unexpectedly, she was assigned to the second daughter of the Zhao family. Although her wound has healed a little, she still has scars. She does heavy physical work in the second room every day. Her small body is indeed a bit pitiful."

Zhao Xihua said: "Then ask her to come to me tonight. I have something to say to her. Remember not to let anyone see it."

"I know." Pingshui responded quickly.

Zhao Xihua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Also, you need to help me keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Third Miss and see who she has been in contact with recently, especially young men."

Pingshui was a little confused. Didn't the third young lady always have a good relationship with her elder sister? Why did she suddenly want to check on her whereabouts?

Zhao Xihua looked at Pingshui's eyes and immediately understood her thoughts. "My third sister is too innocent and kind. I am worried that someone will not let her go and will plot against her behind her back."

Pingshui couldn't help but be shocked. Could someone be trying to harm the Third Miss?

"Miss, Miss, the young master is here." Uncle Lin called softly outside the door.

Why is Sun Xiao here? Isn't he trying to avoid suspicion these days? Even the medicine prescribed for him was sent by Uncle Lin.

She didn't expect that he would follow her during her rare outing today. She quickly got up and walked towards the front hall. From a distance, she saw a tall and handsome figure standing there. It was a picture of extreme elegance.

Zhao Xihua smiled unnaturally and walked over. "Sun Xiao, you're here?"

Sun Xiao listened to the voice and turned around to look at Zhao Xihua gently, "I heard that you went out today. I happened to have nothing to do, and thought you might come to Huichuntang, so I came to see you." The voice was soft and pleasant, refreshing.

He knew that in two months this girl would marry him and become his wife. Even though he knew she was not sincere, he felt satisfied just to see her by his side.

Looking at Sun Xiao's focused and affectionate eyes, Zhao Xihua felt a little uncomfortable: "Sun Xiao, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Sun Xiao calmed himself down and smiled: "Nothing, I just... missed you a little."

Zhao Xihua looked at the gentle man in front of her, and a bitterness welled up in her heart. Even if she was going to marry him, what separated them was not only rebirth and the present, but also an irreconcilable blood feud.

"You're joking." There is a magical power between her smile and frown.

Sun Xiao's heart suddenly tightened, and he didn't know where he got the courage from, but he tightly grasped Zhao Xihua's hand. Zhao Xihua wanted to break free but didn't expect that Sun Xiao's clenched hand could not move at all.

"Come with me," Sun Xiao's voice was gentle and somewhat doting, but there was also a hint of arrogance in his tone that did not allow for questioning.

In this way, Zhao Xihua was led by Sun Xiao's hand through the main hall, across the wooden racks for drying medicine in the yard, and went straight to the back.

Pingshui wanted to follow him when he saw him, but was stopped by Uncle Lin, "Uncle Lin, why are you stopping me?"

Uncle Lin laughed: "Silly girl, if Aqiang held your hand and left like this, do you want someone to follow you?"

Pingshui blushed suddenly, then turned away.

Zhao Xihua could hardly keep up with Sun Xiao's pace. She didn't know where Sun Xiao would take her. It had been some time since she came out. If she went back too late, she was afraid that those people would cause trouble for her again.

"Sun Xiao, where are we going?" Sun Xiao slowed down his pace but did not loosen the hand he was holding. With a smile on his face, he held Zhao Xihua's hand and walked out of the backyard of Huichun Hall.

Outside the backyard of Huichun Hall is a small hillside planted with bamboos. It is a very quiet and nice place.

Sun Xiao held her hand and walked into the bamboo forest. The speed was so fast that Zhao Xihua staggered. She felt like she was about to fall down. When she opened her eyes, she found herself leaning on Sun Xiao's chest. Sun Xiao's chest was now quite firm. The breath of a mature man sprayed into Zhao Xihua's nostrils, and she became a little flustered.

"Don't worry, I'll take you back later, no one will dare to say anything to you." Sun Xiao's voice was a bit domineering and gentle: "We will be husband and wife soon, no one will dare to say anything to us, and in Yuncheng, as long as I am here, it's your world, no one will dare to stop you even if you walk sideways."

Zhao Xihua didn't expect Sun Xiao to say this, and she couldn't help laughing, "Hua'er--" Seeing the radiant smile on Zhao Xihua's face, he was stunned.

In his impression, Zhao Xihua has always been a restrained and calm girl. This is the first time he sees her smile naturally. It is so beautiful.

He could no longer control the throbbing in his heart, and leaned over to kiss Zhao Xihua, but Zhao Xihua quickly turned her face away, avoiding his kiss.

"Sun Xiao, let me go." Zhao Xihua's face darkened a little. "I'm sorry, Hua'er, I just couldn't control myself when my feelings were so deep. I won't do it again in the future." Sun Xiao's hurried apology made Zhao Xihua speechless.

"Let's go. I'll take you somewhere." Sun Xiao suppressed the turmoil in his heart and was secretly angry with himself. He shouldn't have been so impatient.

After he finished speaking, he took Zhao Xihua out of the bamboo forest and drove towards the northernmost mountain in Yuncheng.

The entire mountain range to the north is the Sun family’s private garden and the ancestral tomb of the Sun family. The Sun family’s ancestral hall is also on this mountain.

When Sun Xiao brought Zhao Xihua here, he couldn't help but tremble.

In her previous life, on the first New Year's Eve of the year after she married Sun Xiao, she also followed the Sun family to worship their ancestors, but she couldn't go in and could only wait outside.

However, the situation that day was too bloody. Sun Cong, the second young master of the Sun family, burned to death in the ancestral hall those who opposed his inheritance of the Sun family.

Zhao Xihua was not very clear about the specific situation at that time. He only knew that he waited outside the ancestral hall for a long time. Later, there was thick smoke and it was said that the ancestral hall was on fire. The next day, he heard the news that several elders of the clan were burned to death.
