The Rebirth of an Orphan

"Mr. Gu!" Zhao Xihua screamed. This guy was too lawless in front of so many people.

"Young Master Gu, Young Master Gu." Zhao Yan also wanted to follow but was stopped by the Gu family's personal guards. The awe-inspiring aura made Zhao Yan dare not take a single step forward.

Sun Xiao was also anxious and wanted to chase after him, but Deng Xiao stopped him with an outstretched arm. He looked at Sun Xiao, whose face changed drastically, and said with a smile: "Sun Xiao, I remind you to pay attention to your identity. A brother-in-law should not care about the affairs of his sister-in-law, otherwise it will not be good if it gets out, right?"

Sun Xiao's steps froze instantly. Yes, he was just a brother-in-law. What right did he have to rush out? But Gu Lun was going too far. Was he going to stage a trick to rob a woman?

Even though the Zhao family is not a high-ranking family and cannot compare to the strength of the Gu family, their domineering behavior is really shameless and too assholeish.

Zhao Xihua was also very annoyed at this time. This person always played tricks on her like this. It was simply too much.

Zhao Xihua's left wrist was tightly grasped by Gu Lun. In a hurry, she freed her right hand and wanted to swing towards Gu Lun's face, but even though she used all her strength, Gu Lun easily avoided it and the swing just brushed past his face.

Seeing that she was so disobedient, Gu Lun's face darkened, and he pinched Zhao Xihua's slender waist and lifted her onto his shoulder. Zhao Xihua felt a dizzy sensation and turned her head downwards and could not move. Then, she was carried by Gu Lun into an empty room beside the corridor.

After Gu Lun carried Zhao Xi into the room, he closed the door and put her on the chair in the middle. Zhao Xihua felt like she was going crazy, but she had no way to deal with the tall man in front of her.

"You...this...bastard!" Zhao Xihua's voice trembled and her whole body was shaking. She was really scared of being in front of this man.

"Listen carefully, little girl." Gu Lun grabbed Zhao Xihua's wrist again and looked at her steadily and said, "I have a bad temper. I can tolerate you once but not a second time. If you make trouble again, believe it or not, I will tie you up and take you to Kyoto. I can do what I say, so just be quiet."

Gu Lun was also irritated by her. He had made such a big fuss and even persuaded his grandfather to take out the heirloom bracelet and travel thousands of miles to ask for this woman's hand in marriage. He didn't expect that she would not only publicly refuse him but also slap him in the face. He had no choice but to use force on her.

Seeing Gu Lun growling in anger, Zhao Xihua was shocked. It seemed that she was in big trouble. She had no choice but to keep quiet. The whole room was so quiet that only the breathing of her and Gu Lun could be heard.

Gu Lun then slowly loosened his grip on Zhao Xihua's wrist, stood up, and took out a jade pendant from his pocket. The red string on the jade pendant had turned yellow. He held up the jade pendant and said to Zhao Xihua, "Look, this is something your master has."

The jade pendant was not big, but was carved into the shape of a peach blossom, with the two words "Caiyun" engraved on it. Zhao Xihua suddenly stood up from the chair and looked at Gu Lun in disbelief.

The master's things are actually in Gu Lun's hands. It seems that he also knows a lot of secrets. However, since he is the prince of the Gu family, he must have his own organization to collect intelligence. And he must be no simple person to be able to find out the palace secrets of twenty years ago.

But what does her life experience and situation have to do with him? Why would he check? Zhao Xihua was confused and at a loss.

Gu Lun looked at the girl in front of him who had a confused expression and a thin figure. Her messy hair made her look a little fragile, which made him feel distressed.

He then softened his tone and said, "To be honest, I still like you a little, but don't be too confident. Liking you doesn't mean I have to marry you. It's just that I have just officially become the heir of the Gu family. There are many people in that big family who want to kill me, so the person next to me must be someone I can trust. If it was a daughter sent by another aristocratic family, I would be worried that I would accidentally die in the hands of a woman one day."

Zhao Xihua finally understood. It turned out that Gu Lun had a clear purpose in looking for her. She didn't expect that she could still be of some use to Gu Lun. For a moment, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Then Gu Lun said to her, "I have seen your tactics and schemes before, and they are quite to my taste. So this time, if you follow me back to Gu's house to block the arrows from behind, I will naturally give you something good."

Zhao Xihua looked at Gu Lun and asked, "How come you have my master's jade pendant?"

Gu Lun returned to his previous nonchalant look. He smiled and said, "This is the condition I want to negotiate with you. You and I will go back to Gu's house and I will help you find the murderer who killed your master. As for where you got this thing, I'm sorry, you are not my bedmate yet, so I won't tell you."

"You..." Zhao Xihua was speechless. She just looked at Gu Lun coldly. She knew that she had to take a big gamble, but she was really unsure.

Gu Lun waited for a long time and saw that she didn't say anything, so he couldn't help but say, "Can't you see the reality clearly, girl? I can tell you clearly that your master's identity is not simple. This jade pendant was found in the Presidential Palace.

Zhao Xihua's heart paused. As expected, her master's death was related to those people in the Presidential Palace.

Gu Lun smiled again: "Even if you marry into the Sun family, do you think you have the qualifications to get in touch with the secrets of the Presidential Palace in the Sun family of Yuncheng? So girl, if you want to find out more important things, you have to follow me, your brother. You are so smart that you should understand that a prince of the Gu family in Kyoto is much more useful than a young master of the Sun family in Yuncheng."

Zhao Xihua suddenly had an idea and looked at Gu Lun and said, "Okay, I promise you, but I have a condition."

Gu Lun's expression was completely relaxed. He smiled and asked, "Tell me, what are the conditions?"

Zhao Xihua said coldly: "We can get married, but you can't touch me."

Gu Lun was stunned for a moment but suddenly burst out laughing, then stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Xihua's hand and whispered, "It's not up to you to decide whether to touch you or not. It depends on your man's mood."

"You..." Zhao Xihua was a little angry.

"Okay, okay, I promise you." Seeing Zhao Xihua's angry look, Gu Lun finally showed a gentle smile in his eyes.

Soon, a piece of news spread throughout Yuncheng that the notorious fourth daughter of the Zhao family had transformed herself and was about to marry the prince of the Gu family in Kyoto and become his mistress. This news shocked everyone.

No one believed this was true, but a few days later when the grand wedding procession from Kyoto appeared in Yuncheng and the county magistrate of Yuncheng greeted the procession with great respect, everyone was sure that Miss Zhao Si had indeed hit the jackpot.
