The Rebirth of an Orphan

After the Zhao family came back from a trip to Xingchen Temple, a lot of things happened suddenly. The second wife suddenly died of illness, and the second daughter went crazy. The head of the family had no choice but to send them out of the city.

Especially since the Sun family's wedding date was suddenly moved forward, the eldest wife, who had previously wanted to deduct the fourth young lady's dowry, actually generously prepared the fourth young lady's dowry herself.

At this time, Zhao Xihua had nothing to do and was chatting casually with the two girls in the room.

Zhao Xihua was combing her hair in front of the mirror, while Pingshui and Chunfeng were helping her pack. They would be going to the Sun family in a few days, so some things had to be packed first.

"How is the second house doing now?" Zhao Xihua suddenly asked.

Looking at the pretty little face with a peaceful expression in the mirror, Zhao Xihua felt a little unbelievable.

Pingshui said hurriedly, "The second wife died of illness, but the master said that my sister was about to get married, and we couldn't hold a big funeral to affect her marriage, so we buried her simply and didn't let her enter the ancestral tomb."

Zhao Xihua smiled faintly: "After doing such a shameful thing, how can she enter the ancestral tomb? She deserves this ending."

Pingshui continued, "The second young lady was sent out of the city, but unexpectedly she was locked up in Yongning Courtyard."

"Yongning Courtyard?" Zhao Xi raised her eyebrows, put down the comb in her hand, and looked at herself in the mirror again, "That's a good place."

Pingshui and Chunfeng didn’t know what Zhao Xihua wanted to say, but this trip to Xingchen Temple was really dangerous.

They had no idea how the first and second wives could come up with such a vicious idea. They didn't know what kind of medicine Yuping had sprinkled on the second young lady, and they didn't know how their elder sister found out about the second wife and Master Qingyuan. In short, they felt that their elder sister was very powerful, so powerful that it was a little scary.

Zhao Xihua combed her hair, picked out a brightly colored skirt and put it on, then said, "Go ask Uncle Lin to prepare the car, and we'll go to Ning'an Courtyard."

The two girls were shocked. Ever since the fire happened there, that place has become a restricted area. Would it be unlucky as their elder sister is getting married soon?

Although they thought so, they didn't dare to say anything. One of them immediately went to find Uncle Lin to prepare the car, and the other went to get a windbreaker and put it on Zhao Xihua, then followed her out the door.

Uncle Lin drove very fast and steadily. After leaving the city, he arrived at the gate of Ning'an Courtyard not long after the bumpy ride.

The gate, which had always been shabby, now looked even more dilapidated, and half of the burnt wood could be seen from afar.

Zhao Xihua looked at the gate with sadness in her eyes. She hadn't been here since her master was murdered. Now, everything has changed and she didn't even have the tears to shed.

There was no one guarding the gate, and half of the previously tidy yard had collapsed. Only one relatively intact house at the innermost part came from which came the voice of a woman cursing, followed by desperate crying, as if she was really crazy.

Zhao Xihua walked over slowly and saw two sturdy middle-aged women shouting at the people inside through the window to be quiet.

After scolding, he ignored the people in the room and went straight to the side room to drink tea and chat.

After Zhao Siqi came over, she kept making a fuss and didn't eat properly, so the two of them simply stopped cooking. Let them eat or not, and it would be better if they could just starve to death. Anyway, the Zhao family didn't want this daughter anymore.

It's the second young lady's fault for being so arrogant and domineering. She deserves to end up like this.

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a cough outside. They were startled and went out to see Miss Zhao Si standing there.

Miss Zhao Si is about to marry into the Sun family, and no one dares to offend her now.

The two of them quickly greeted Zhao Xihua, who also winked at Pingshui, who quickly handed them two red envelopes. "Thank you for your hard work, aunties. My sister has something to say to the second young lady in private. You can take this red envelope and buy something delicious, okay?"

The two of them saw that everyone was accepting the red envelopes, so they took them and quickly hid far away.

Chunfeng was guarding outside the house, and Pingshui and Zhao Xihua walked into the house together. As soon as they entered, they were almost vomited by the foul smell in the house.

"Who?" A rustling sound was heard. Zhao Xihua looked over and saw Zhao Siqi with her hands and feet locked with two dog chains in the dark corner. She was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Zhao Yan to be so cruel. He treated her like this. Even if she was not a child of the Zhao family, after all, she had spoiled her for so many years. No matter how much he hated her, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?

"Second sister, how are you?" Zhao Xihua didn't want to get too close. The smell was so bad that she could hardly bear it.

"Zhao Xihua?" Zhao Siqi heard the voice and wanted to rush out, but was held back by the iron chains on her hands and feet, making a rattling sound.

"Zhao Xihua, you bitch, it's all your fault, you bitch, why don't you just die?" Zhao Siqi shouted angrily, but she couldn't get close to Zhao Xihua, so she could only glare at her fiercely.

Zhao Xihua smiled contemptuously and said calmly: "You don't have to hate me so much. If you weren't jealous and wanted to hurt me everywhere, how could you have come to this point today? I just came here to tell you a few things today, and then I'll leave."

Zhao Xihua looked at her, showed a mocking smile and said: "You have tried to kill me several times before, right? The first time you tricked me into the garden pond and tried to push me into the water. The second time you colluded with the driver of the family and tried to poison me to death in the wine cellar with a venomous snake. The third time..."

Zhao Xihua paused for a moment before saying, "If I hadn't taken action this time, I would probably be the one locked up here."

"You bitch, I knew it was you. You're the one who hurt me!" Zhao Siqi roared madly.

But Zhao Xihua shook her head and said calmly: "It's not me who hurt you, it's your own greed that hurt you. In fact, there is no such noble young man from Kyoto. There is only an old monk who is not serious. Moreover, that old monk is your biological father. You are not the daughter of the Zhao family at all.

"What? You, what did you say?" Zhao Siqi stared at Zhao Xihua in disbelief with her eyes wide open, but her vision was darkening. She didn't believe it. It was a lie.

Zhao Xihua looked at her with disgust and said, "How could your mother, a housewife, arrange for someone to harm me in Xingchen Temple? How could you get a few words of fortune from Monk Miaoyuan as soon as you were born? In fact, even if you had committed the shameful act of having an affair before marriage, your father would not have treated you like this."

Zhao Siqi staggered as if she was about to fall, but Zhao Xihua continued, "It was your father who told everyone that you were crazy and locked you up in Ning'an Courtyard because you are not a daughter of the Zhao family at all. You are the bastard born from your mother's affair with Monk Miaoyuan. You are just a bastard."
