The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Ziqin, who was watching from the side, said hurriedly, "Father, don't be angry. Fourth sister likes quietness, and mother is kind-hearted. Fortunately, the flower thief didn't hurt Fourth sister. We are all tired after all this trouble, so why not let everyone go back and rest."

Zhao Ziqin's knowledgeable and well-mannered demeanor made Zhao Yan nod slightly.

"Father," Zhao Xihua raised her voice and said, "Big sister is right. Since the flower thief has come and he hasn't been caught yet, I'm afraid that we sisters will still be in danger. Mother only cares about Huaer, and Huaer is very grateful. I just don't know if the other sisters are okay?"

As soon as Zhao Xihua finished speaking, the second wife, who had been standing behind the first wife, could no longer hold on. Ever since her daughter dressed up beautifully in the evening and said she was going to meet the noble man Zhao Xihua mentioned, she has not returned yet.

She felt that something was wrong, but her daughter refused to listen to her advice, so she had been holding back and not saying anything. Now that Zhao Xihua said this, she suddenly panicked.

Zhao Yan didn't think much about it and asked each room to count the number of people. As expected, Zhao Siqi, the daughter of the second room, was missing. The atmosphere that had just calmed down became tense again, and everyone began to discuss in a low voice.

Zhao Xi said nervously, "Father, my second sister hasn't been feeling well lately and hasn't been playing with the other sisters. Now that there's been such a big commotion and we're still missing, is there anything wrong? Father, should we send someone to look for her?"

The second wife wondered if her daughter had not returned because she had had a good chat with the nobleman. If she went to look for him, would it ruin her daughter's happiness?

So she blurted out: "Forget it, thank you for your concern, Fourth Girl, Qi'er may have gone out to play, so there's no need to look for her."

Mrs. Five, who was listening in, couldn't help but laugh: "This is really weird, how can there be a mother who doesn't worry about her daughter and doesn't allow her to go look for her?"

The Fifth Wife is a person who only wants to see the world in chaos. Now that the Fifth Wife's family is doing well, she likes to see the First Wife's family in chaos, so she will inevitably add fuel to the fire.

Zhao Yan just felt a headache and was about to say nothing and not care about it, but unexpectedly he heard hurried footsteps and Sun Xiao's tall figure rushed in from the door.

Sun Xiao had a cold and ruthless expression as he suppressed his anger. He no longer had the image of a gentle and elegant young man as before. This handsome and dangerous young master scared all the women in the Sun family, but he also had endless appeal.

Sun Xiao was not in Yuncheng originally, but after receiving the news, Sun Xiao wanted to kill someone, and rushed here as fast as lightning. If anything happened to Huaer, he would make sure that they would die without a burial place.

He rushed into the room without caring about the surprise of the people around him. He rushed to Zhao Xihua, grabbed her hand and checked it up and down. He was relieved only after making sure that Zhao Xihua was not injured.

He turned to look at Zhao Yan. The cold look in his eyes made Zhao Yan tremble. "I wonder if Patriarch Zhao can give me an explanation?"

Zhao Yan's face had already turned red. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry for making you laugh today. It's mainly because we recently discovered a flower thief who was harming people everywhere. It just so happened that the bodyguards at home found a stranger in Hua'er's room. The woman at home got anxious and made such a big fuss. I hope the young master will forgive this ignorant woman at home."

Sun Xiao is not someone who can be easily fooled. He knows very well that the Zhao family must be up to something this time. No matter how much Zhao Yan talks, Sun Xiao will not believe it.

He looked at Zhao Xihua and asked, "Hua'er, this matter..."

When Zhao Xihua saw his expression, she knew that Sun Xiao would not trust anyone else except her.

Those people have touched her bottom line again and again, and this time she will not show mercy.

She looked at Sun Xiao and said, "Master, I want to ask you for a favor." Sun Xiao said quickly, "Hua'er, tell me what it is. You know I will respond to any request you make. There is no such thing as a favor."

Zhao Xihua smiled and said, "Young Master, I went to my third sister's room to paint tonight, but I found out that a thief had entered the room. Mother told you about this because she was concerned about me. I hope you can forgive her."

Sun Xiao nodded, and everyone around him felt that the Fourth Miss was really kind. Even in such a situation, she still spoke well of the First Lady.

Only the eldest wife knew that this damn girl was too cunning and must have another trick up her sleeve. Sure enough, Zhao Xihua said, "To be honest, young master, my second sister has not been found yet. I hope you can help look for her. If you come forward and lead people to look for her, those thieves will definitely not be able to escape, and maybe you can find my second sister."

Everyone knows the relationship between Zhao Xihua and Zhao Siqi. They are like tit for tat with each other. Now she is so kind to help find him. What's going on? Everyone looked at the second wife with strange eyes.

The second wife's face had turned pale. She glared at Zhao Xihua with resentment, but she was also a little panicked. It was so strange that her daughter hadn't come back after such a big commotion.

She said with a guilty conscience: "The fourth girl is thoughtful, but I won't bother the eldest master. Siqi has been ill for a long time. She finally came out and maybe she wants to have some fun."

She looked outside the house and said, "It's getting late, young master, you should go and rest."

Her obstruction was so obvious that Zhao Yan was a little confused. Where did the second girl go? Seeing that the second wife looked a little worried, could it be that the second girl really did something shameful? It seemed that the matter could not be made a big deal, otherwise where would the Zhao family put their face?

So he hurriedly said to Sun Xiao with a smile: "Master, I also feel that it is getting late. Why don't you stay here and rest? I will arrange for someone to bring some wine and food to apologize to you later."

Sun Xiao really didn't like the sneaky look of the Zhao family, but since it was Huaer who proposed it and his woman wanted to cause some trouble, of course he had to cooperate with them to see what secrets they had.

Sun Xiao smiled and said, "Master Zhao, you are too polite. After all, our two families are related. If I find out there is a thief and the second young lady is missing, I definitely can't just stand by and watch."

After that, he didn't give Zhao Yan any chance to speak, and turned to the people behind him and said, "Ye Ying, Chu Xing, take your people to search, especially in secluded and deserted places, be more careful."

Soon the two men walked out quickly.

Zhao Yan saw that Sun Xiao was determined to intervene in this matter, so he could only helplessly say to everyone: "Since the young master is here today, there is nothing for us to do, so let's go."

"No need, everyone stay here. Since the eldest lady said there is a thief, it is better to gather together for safety. Besides, one person is missing." Sun Xiao said calmly.

After hearing this, everyone could only stay where they were and wait. Zhao Yan didn't expect it to turn out like this, so he had to bite the bullet and sit with Sun Xiao to drink tea. The atmosphere in the whole room was very depressing, as they waited for Ye Ying and the others to pass on the news.
