The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua didn't want to say anything more, she just smiled and said, "After listening to Master Miaoyuan's sermon tomorrow, each family will hold a banquet, and maybe we can meet then. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first."

As soon as Zhao Xihua returned to her room, Pingshui handed her a white porcelain bottle and said, "Sister, this is what Uncle Lin asked me to give you."

Zhao Xihua nodded, and then asked, "Has the injured girl next to Zhao Siqi, whom I asked you to contact before, come today?"

"The girl named Yu Ping is here today too. The second young lady likes to show off, so she brings more servants with her." Pingshui replied.

"Where does she live? Can we find her?" Zhao Xihua asked again.

"Sister, there are many people going up the mountain this time, and there are limited places to stay. The second young lady brought many people and there was not enough room to stay, so we let the girl live in the parking lot."

Pingshui continued, "It's cold on this mountain at night, and the parking lot is empty and not windproof. If you stay there for one night, you'll probably freeze to death."

"You go there and bring her to us secretly. Remember not to be seen by anyone. There are few people there and no one cares about the poor girl." Except for Pingshui, Zhao Xihua has replaced everyone else with people she trusts, so even if she brings the jade bottle here, no one will tell others.

Not long after, Pingshui came in with a very thin little girl. She could not walk steadily, probably due to malnutrition.

Zhao Xihua looked at the little girl in front of her. She was wearing thin clothes. Both of her hands were obviously covered with scars. The fingers of her left hand were bent unnaturally as if they were broken.

I don’t know what made Zhao Siqi so crazy that she would commit violence against others.

She stood up and took a coat from the back of the chair and put it on the little girl. The little girl felt warm and looked at Zhao Xihua in disbelief.

"Come, don't stand, come and sit down." Zhao Xihua took Yu Ping's hand and pulled her to sit on the chair. Yu Ping felt a little nervous, but the warmth holding her hand and the warmth coming from her body made her feel moved for a moment.

Zhao Xihua held Yu Ping's hand and sat beside her and said, "Yu Ping, let me be frank. There is something I want you to do for me. Are you willing?"

Yu Ping was shocked and stood up suddenly, but was pulled back to the chair by Zhao Xihua. Looking at the girl with a pale face and lowered head, Zhao Xihua could only sigh.

But she continued, "Zhao Siqi will go out tonight, and she will definitely change into the most beautiful clothes she brought this time. You just need to sprinkle one thing on the clothes."

When Yu Ping heard Zhao Siqi's name, hatred appeared on her face. She knew in her heart that the Fourth Miss and the Second Miss had a bad relationship. Now that the Fourth Miss had asked her to come over, she must be targeting the Second Miss.

She stood up with a determined heart and said to Zhao Xihua, "Fourth Miss, Second Miss has ruined me. I hate her so much."

Zhao Xihua looked at her and said, "As long as you do what I say tonight, I will arrange for someone to send you away tomorrow. I will also give you some money. Don't go back to your home in the countryside. You will suffer if you go back. It is better to go far away and live a good life.

"Thank you, Fourth Miss." Yu Ping almost kneeled down to Zhao Xihua.

"You don't have to thank me. As long as you do your job well, this is what you deserve. You also gave yourself a chance to live a good life."

After hearing what Zhao Xihua said, Yuping tightly grasped the white porcelain bottle given to her, nodded firmly, and left.

Then Zhao Xihua told Pingshui to turn off all the lights in the room, leaving only a bedside lamp, and took Pingshui and another maid Chunfeng to see the third young lady, saying that he happened to be free that night.

Zhao Chishu's residence was also very secluded, but she liked quietness and deliberately found a quieter place to live. She was also unwilling to interact with other sisters. Even though her family was rich, there were not many servants around her.

When Zhao Xihua arrived, Zhao Chishu happened to be reading a book without taking a break, so he immediately came out and took Zhao Xihua's hand and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, why are you here?"

"I'm a bit attached to my bed and I can't sleep here. I thought about my promise to accompany my sister to paint the picture of the beauty under the moon, so I came to see my sister. I hope my sister won't think I'm annoying you?"

Zhao Xihua laughed after hearing this: "I didn't expect that we sisters share the same problem of not being able to sleep in different places. I never had the chance to ask fourth sister for advice on painting before. Today I have such a good thing. I am so happy that I don't have time to dislike it."

The two sisters joked with each other for a while, and then Zhao Chishu asked someone to prepare the easel and painting materials and get ready to start painting.

Zhao Xihua looked at Zhao Chishu and said, "Since you want to paint a picture of a beauty under the moon, you need a beautiful woman. Actually, I have always wanted to paint a portrait of you. Why don't you fulfill my wish today?"

Although Zhao Chishu agreed shyly, she still sat in front of the window generously and naturally, allowing Zhao Xihua to paint her.

Zhao Chishu has always been gentle and generous in appearance. Now he is sitting in front of the window with a calm and peaceful expression. Just sitting there quietly is a beautiful sight that makes people unable to look away.

Looking at the calm-looking girl opposite her sketching the picture on her drawing paper, her eyes became moist.

Such a beautiful woman died so tragically in her previous life. She kept telling herself in her heart that she must keep her alive and well in this life and must protect her well.

In addition to investigating Zhao Siqi's affairs these days, she also discovered Zhao Chishu's secret, that is, he was secretly in contact with Li Ming.

In the end, she couldn't resist the cycle of fate and the third sister couldn't escape that evil fate.

No one knew what Li Ming did to the third sister that made her fall into his trap. Zhao Xihua didn't know, but she would protect the people she wanted to protect to the end.

Zhao Xihua was painting a portrait of Zhao Chishu. Several maids and servants were watching beside them with tea and snacks, and commenting with low laughter. The atmosphere in the whole room was relaxed and harmonious.

About an hour later, hurried footsteps were heard outside, mixed with the whispered questions of the Zhao family's bodyguards.

Zhao Chishu was so shocked that he stood up all of a sudden. Before he could say anything, the third wife came in hurriedly with the servants.

"Shu'er," the third wife's voice was trembling a little, but she was relieved to see Zhao Chishu standing there safely.

But when she saw Zhao Xihua, she hurriedly called out, "Fourth girl, it's great that you're here. Your mother has been looking for you everywhere just now. I was scared to death when I heard the news just now."

"Third Aunt, what happened? Why is mother looking for me everywhere?" Zhao Xihua actually knew in her heart that the eldest wife was bluffing just to make things bigger.
