The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua stood up from her chair and said to Zhao Yan, "Thank you for reminding me, father. I understand."

Zhao Yan glanced at Zhao Xihua and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, I'm tired too. You should go back and prepare for the marriage with the Sun family as soon as possible. After all, the Sun family is not someone we can afford to offend. You need to be cautious when you marry into the family."

Zhao Xihua replied: @Okay, I know what to do. "

"Go back." Zhao Yan waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to see her.

Zhao Xihua walked out of the study, and the two maids waiting outside hurried forward, and Pingshui checked her up and down.

This made Zhao Xihua laugh: "Why are you so nervous? Father is not a tiger that can eat me. It's okay. It's just a threat."

Threats? Why would a father threaten his daughter? I really couldn't understand it any more, but I couldn't ask him in detail.

After Zhao Xihua left, Zhao Yan looked at the piece of letter on his desk, folded it and stuffed it into an envelope, then shouted, "Someone come."

"Master," the butler soon appeared in front of Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan handed the envelope to the butler, "Send this letter to Kyoto as soon as possible, and don't let anyone find it."

The housekeeper took the envelope with the message "Miss Nangong" on it and was about to leave the study when Zhao Yan called him again, "Send someone to invite the Madam over."

The butler responded and walked out of the study quickly.

Not long after, the eldest wife came to Zhao Yan's study. From a distance, she saw Zhao Yan sitting on a chair and looking at her coldly, which made her feel a little flustered.

She knew very well how the Second Wife and Monk Miaoyuan died. Although the man in front of her had spent half her life with her, she was still very afraid of his methods.

"Master, what do you want me to do here? Why don't you go back to your room and talk?" the eldest wife asked cautiously.

"Don't you know more about what happened in Xingchen Temple than I do?" Zhao Yan's voice was a little cold, which made the eldest wife tremble even more.

Zhao Yan continued, "I know you don't like Hua'er, but she's not a simple girl. Don't give me any trouble in the future, okay?"

What do you mean this girl is not simple? This doesn't sound like what a father would say to protect his daughter. The eldest wife was a little confused.

Zhao Yan felt even more disgusted when he saw her expression, but he had no choice but to continue to endure it, so he waved to the eldest wife, "Come here."

The eldest wife was a little confused, but she still walked up to Zhao Yan. Unexpectedly, she was slapped hard in the face by Zhao Yan. She suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't stand steadily.

"Master," the first wife covered her face and looked at Zhao Yan in disbelief, her voice trembling as she said, "What did I do wrong that you treat me like this? I have worked hard to run this family for so many years, and I think I have not owed anything to the Zhao family or to you. Why do you treat me like this? Since you don't like me so much, I will go back to the Qin family in Kyoto."

Zhao Yan stood with his hands behind his back facing the first wife and said coldly: "Do you think that the Qin family in Jingdu is your support? Wake up, you have already married into the Zhao family, and you are going back to the Qin family? You are just an illegitimate daughter, do you really expect the Qin family to protect you?"

The eldest wife's face began to turn pale. Zhao Yan continued, "Before, you gave the things left by Feng Yi to your parents' family. Didn't you think I didn't know? Now there is nothing to give. Do you think they still look down on you?"

"I...I..." The eldest wife was speechless. Those things were kept in a small warehouse and she kept the keys. Zhao Yan never mentioned it. She thought Zhao Yan no longer cared about it, so she gave those things to her brother without permission. She didn't expect that Zhao Yan knew about it.

Zhao Yan slowly walked up to the eldest wife and grabbed her neck, full of murderous intent, and said, "Do you want to know how that bitch died? Do you want me to tell you in detail?"

The eldest wife's breathing almost stopped. She widened her eyes and said in panic, "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to know." She had never seen Zhao Yan like this before. He was like a devil. Although he was usually cold to her, they were still respectful to each other. But today he was too crazy and she was scared.

Zhao Yan tightened his grip on the wife's neck and whispered, "Be careful in the future and don't bring shame to the Zhao family. Be obedient so that Qin'er and Chen Yang can live a good life. If it weren't for their sake, I would have gotten rid of you long ago."

Then Zhao Yan suddenly loosened his hand, and the eldest wife staggered and fell to the ground, hitting her back against the door frame. She covered her neck and gasped for breath, and she was about to collapse.

She had already developed a huge hatred in her heart. Feng Yi, that bitch, had been dead for so many years and her ghost was still lingering. Just to give the things she left behind to her brother, this Zhao Yan actually wanted to kill her? She was unwilling to accept it. When she was alive, that bitch was superior to her. Now after she died, she forced her to such a point?

Zhao Yan probably only has that bitch in her heart, right? That bitch's daughter is not an easy person to deal with either. She must not let that bitch's daughter stand out, never!

Zhao Yan returned to his chair and looked at the eldest wife and said, "The wedding date of the Sun and Zhao families has been moved up. You should also prepare well for Qin'er."

The eldest wife quickly got up from the ground. She couldn't believe her ears and asked, "Qin'er?" Wasn't it Zhao Xi's painting that the Sun family was interested in? Was Zhao Yan wrong?

But Zhao Yan looked at the eldest wife and said word by word: "Yes, it is Qin'er."

Three days later, Zhao Yan's letter was placed on Miss Nangong's desk. After she finished feeding the fish in the garden, she remembered the letter sent from Yuncheng. She returned to the desk and opened the letter. The handwriting on the letter was powerful but unfamiliar.

She looked at it intently and suddenly stood up, her hand holding the letter trembling, a flash of surprise and then fierce resentment flashed across her eyes.

"Someone come here." Nangong's voice was very cold.

"Your Highness," the housekeeper Wang Ma walked in quickly, "prepare the car and go to Yuncheng." Suddenly he paused, picked up the letter and began to read it carefully.

"Call Yuncheng to find out about the Sun family and tell me immediately. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing as the eldest young master of the Sun family planning to get married?"

The eldest young master is getting married? Why didn't he tell the princess about such a big thing? After all, the princess is Sun Xiao's aunt? Is this old lady Sun getting more and more confused?

Moreover, Sun Xiao's parents had passed away for such a long time, and the entire Sun family depended on Miss Nangong to help support them in Kyoto. Otherwise, how could there be the current Sun family? What did it mean that such an important matter was not told to the princess?
