The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Chishu nodded, knowing that now was not the time to talk about this, so he followed Zhao Xihua into the main hall.

Zhao Yan and the first wife sat in the main seats, while the third and fifth wives and other younger generations sat on the side. Sun Xiao and Zhao Ziqin sat at the head of the guest seats. Zhao Ziqin was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, wearing gold and silver, and looked extremely noble, but there was a hint of fatigue between her eyebrows that was not noticed by others.

Sun Xiao sat upright on the chair, not drinking tea, nor talking to the Zhao family. His face was so gloomy that it was almost ashen. He looked more like he was attending a funeral than a wedding.

Zhao Yan's face was slightly embarrassed, and the eldest wife was a little dissatisfied, but no matter how dissatisfied she was, she didn't dare to say anything to Sun Xiao. After all, it was hard to reveal her guilty conscience.

As soon as Zhao Xihua stepped into the main hall, Sun Xiao suddenly looked at the girl he had been thinking about for a long time. He held the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, resisting the urge to rush over and hug her in his arms.

The person he had been looking forward to yesterday turned out to be Zhao Ziqin. He rushed out like crazy but was forcibly dragged to the study by the old lady and her people, where he met his aunt, Miss Nangong.

Miss Nangong told him one thing, that Zhao Xihua was not the daughter of the Zhao family, but the bastard of the owner of the famous Qinghong Tower in Kyoto, and her biological father was unknown.

His aunt told him that it was impossible for him and Zhao Xihua to be together in this life, as the centuries-old Sun family would never allow a woman like this to marry into the family.

He was already confused at the time. He could throw a tantrum in front of the old lady and force Hua'er to marry him, but he had no capital to act recklessly in front of his aunt.

He had deliberately not told his aunt before, hoping to keep it secret, but he didn't expect this to be the outcome.

Sun Xiao felt helpless. He had his reasons and she had her reasons.

Sun Xiao stared at Zhao Xihua who was walking towards him slowly, but he was a little afraid to face her. He once just wanted to hold her hand and walk through thousands of mountains and rivers with her, but now he could only look at her in silence.

Everyone looked at Zhao Xihua, but Zhao Xihua calmly walked up to Zhao Yan and the first wife and greeted them. Then she walked up to Zhao Ziqin and Sun Xiao and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, congratulations!"

Sun Xiao's body trembled, and he couldn't even maintain the most basic etiquette. He turned his eyes away in panic, not daring to look at her.

When she was most helpless, locked up in a Taoist temple and crying all day long, the fact that he did not stay with her became the thing he could never forgive himself for in his life.

Zhao Ziqin looked at the bitch in front of her. Even at this point, she could still remain so calm and collected, which made her feel furious.

How could he still stand in front of her calmly after going through such a tragic thing? Why didn't she die out of shame? How could he still stand in front of her shamelessly after such a shameful thing happened?

Sun Xiao didn't even spend the bridal chamber with her when he got married. It was all the fault of the bitch in front of him. If it weren't for her, how could he be so embarrassed.

"Is fourth sister feeling better?" Zhao Ziqin had a decent smile on her face, but her words were a little sharp.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Zhao Xihua has already sensed Zhao Ziqin's madness. The more arrogant she is, the more pitiful and miserable she looks.

Her purpose of entering the Sun family was different from Zhao Ziqin's. She wanted to find out the truth about her master's murder, but Zhao Ziqin was trying to jump into the fire pit of the Sun family.

It is normal for such families to engage in intrigue. Besides, Sun Xiao is not a fool. How could he not know that it was Zhao Ziqin who was plotting against him?

What men hate most is being schemed against by women, especially in this kind of thing. If she guessed correctly, this was the beginning of Zhao Ziqin's nightmare.

But Zhao Ziqin felt uncomfortable looking at Zhao Xihua's calm and composed demeanor. Why did she have more aura than him?

So she deliberately sighed and said, "I already know about Fourth Sister's affairs, so don't be too sad."

Zhao Xihua interrupted her and said, "I don't understand what you said, sister. I just rested in the Taoist temple on the mountain for one night. What could have happened?"

Rest? Zhao Ziqin really admired Zhao Xihua's thick skin. He actually said it was rest?

But before Zhao Ziqin could say anything, Zhao Xihua smiled faintly at her: "I think your spirit is very bad. You need to pay attention to rest. Don't stay up late."

Zhao Ziqin's face changed suddenly. Yesterday, when Sun Xiao found out that the bride he picked up was not Zhao Xihua, he left in a hurry. Later, after being sent to her room by the Sun family, he went to the next room and read a book all night without paying any attention to her.

I spent a sleepless night alone in an empty room. The words of this bitch Zhao Xihua were simply murderous.

"Master, Master," the housekeeper came in hurriedly with a panicked look on his face, "Master, Master, Mr. Deng is here with his men."

Zhao Yan stood up suddenly. Deng Xiao, the son of the Deng family in Kyoto, had arrived. What was he doing here?

The Deng family is one of the four major families in Kyoto, even more powerful than the Qin family. What's the situation with Deng Xiao suddenly coming to Yuncheng with so many people and visiting the Zhao family in such a grand manner?

At this time, Deng Xiao had already walked in slowly with his men, followed by a group of well-trained bodyguards, each carrying a black leather suitcase. They then placed the boxes in a row in front of Zhao Yan.

Then Deng Xiao ordered the bodyguards to open all the boxes, and immediately cash, diamonds, jewelry...for a moment, the entire main hall was dazzled by the glittering jewels.

Zhao Yan didn't know what it meant for a moment. He glanced at the evil Deng Xiao and said, "I don't know if it's wrong for Master Deng to come and welcome you. But what is Master Deng doing..."

Deng Xiao looked at Zhao Yan and laughed, saying, "Congratulations, Patriarch Zhao, you've hit the jackpot this time, congratulations!"

Zhao Yan was completely confused and didn't understand what Deng Xiao meant. "Mr. Deng, please stop joking with me. I really don't understand... Don't understand what Mr. Deng means? I hope Mr. Deng can tell me."

Deng Xiao smiled at Zhao Xihua who was standing on the side: "Someone from Kyoto asked me to come and propose marriage to Miss Zhao Si. If this isn't a happy event, what else could it be?"

Deng Xiao's words shocked everyone present. What do you mean by marriage proposal? Or did someone from Kyoto send Master Deng to propose marriage? Everyone knows that the Deng family is one of the most noble families in Kyoto. Who would be so proud to send Master Deng to do such a thing?

The most important thing is to propose marriage to Miss Zhao Si. Everyone knows that Miss Zhao Si is notorious now. She actually sent Master Deng to propose marriage. This must be a joke, right?

As expected, Zhao Yan looked a little embarrassed, but the person in front of him was Master Deng, so he couldn't get angry: "Master Deng, please don't joke about my Zhao family's family affairs. This..."

Deng Xiao laughed again: "I am not the kind of person who jokes around easily. Besides, the one who is coming to marry me this time is the prince of the Gu family in Kyoto. Master Zhao, do you think that a family like the Gu family is just trying to make fun of a small family like yours?"
