The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi stopped in her tracks. She turned around and looked at Huo Wuyou calmly: "If we can get rid of the person that Lin'an Hou wants to get rid of, then it's not exploitation, but each of us getting what we need."

Huo Wuyou took a few steps forward, crossed his arms, and tilted his head to look at her: "Tell me your plan, maybe I will agree to it."

Xue Zhiyi sighed with sorrow: "I have too few clues now. Once I have a rough guess about the real culprit, I will ask Lin'an Marquis for help. I hope the Marquis will not refuse."

She seemed extremely sincere when she said this.

Huo Wuyou's plan did not intend to keep the Dali Temple Chief Justice, but the time to overthrow him was not now. He just didn't expect that he would suddenly have the opportunity to catch the Dali Temple Chief Justice's handle now. It would not be a bad thing to advance the plan.

But it was also a fact that Xue Zhiyi was using him, and he was not so confused that he could not even recognize this fact.

But Xue Zhiyi just had a handle on him exactly. She knew his intentions very well and used them blatantly without hiding her calculations.

Huo Wuyou couldn't help but feel a little resentful. He looked at her without blinking and snorted, "You asked me for help because you know it very well..."

He suddenly stopped, and Xue Zhiyi's breathing choked. The look in his eyes as he looked at Huo Wuyou became more innocent.

She was also a little nervous. She wanted to take advantage of Huo Wuyou's feelings, but it would be somewhat embarrassing if it was exposed.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly changed the subject and smiled slowly: "You know very well that I just like the cheap business of getting rid of annoying people without having to do it myself."

He crossed his arms and moved a little closer. Xue Zhiyi couldn't help but step back until his back hit the door. He chuckled and said, "I wish you success. Don't let me down."

Looking at Huo Wuyou's teasing face, Xue Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled back, "Of course."

She bowed again and said, "In that case, Zhiyi will take his leave."

Without waiting for Huo Wuyou to say anything, she opened the door and left.

Looking at her back, Huo Wuyou knew that Sui Yunlang would definitely scold him for being a scumbag. He knew he was being used, but still changed his original plan so easily.

After thinking about it, he thought: If I want to be a masochist, then I will be a masochist.

……

It was already afternoon when we returned to Xue Mansion.

As soon as she entered the gate of Jiangxuexuan, Su Yue came to greet her hurriedly: "Miss, something happened at home."

At this time, Qiuyun, who was sent by Xue Zhiyi to the coffin shop to handle funeral matters, also came back: "There is a commotion outside, what's going on? Suyue is watching over the house at Jiangxuexuan, do you know what happened?"

Su Yue pulled the two of them into the house, closed the door, and then lowered her voice: "Yes...something happened in Zhefangyuan."

Zhefangyuan? Rong Ziying's residence.

"Aunt Xiaorong had a miscarriage!"

"Miscarriage?" Xue Zhiyi was stunned: "What happened?"

This miscarriage was quite sudden indeed.

At this moment, De Suyue was still in shock: "The master and the mistress are both in Zhefang Courtyard. I dare not go in to see them, so I only asked the maids who came in and out, and the doctor."

As she spoke, she lowered her voice even more: "The master stayed at Zhefang Courtyard last night, and everything was fine at first. But in the second half of the night, Madam Xiaorong felt unwell. We thought it was just morning sickness, so we took some pregnancy-protecting medicine and went to sleep. But during the day, not long after the master went to court, she started having abdominal pains, and then she started bleeding in less than half an hour. When the doctor came, the baby was already dead."

Su Yue sighed: "When the master came back, he was very angry and asked people to investigate the matter thoroughly. He even suspected Madam for this."

She covered her chest and said, "It was really horrible. When I went there, I saw a maid coming out of Zhefang Courtyard. The dirty clothes and sheets in her hands were covered in blood..."

After listening to her, Xue Zhiyi thought for a moment and asked her, "What did the doctor say?"

Su Yue said: "The doctor said that there might be some omissions in the food expenses of Xiao Rong's wife, and they are investigating, but they have not found out the reason yet. However, the food expenses of Xiao Rong's wife were all purchased by her confidants with extra money allocated by the master, so the lady naturally denies it."

After hearing this, Qiuyun said, "I have always heard that Madam Xiaorong's pregnancy was very stable. It is no wonder that the master suspected that someone had harmed her when something unexpected happened."

"Yes." Xue Zhiyi said calmly: "Who knows, maybe father is right, and it was really mother who did it?"

Qiuyun and Suyue looked at each other tacitly without saying a word.

Xue Zhiyi suddenly said, "Suyue, go find Yuzhi later and ask her to find a chance to see me quietly tonight."

The person she placed next to Fu Ling might know something.

After Su Yue left, Qiu Yun accompanied Xue Zhiyi to the side room to visit Xue Runing.

Xue Runing's face still had the makeup that Xue Zhiyi had applied for her all night long. She didn't look like she was dead. It was as if if Xue Zhiyi called her to get up and play Cricket, her eyes would slowly open.

After not sleeping all night and being busy all day, Xue Zhiyi finally felt extremely weak.

She leaned against the bed, looking at Xue Runing's face expressionlessly.

Qiuyun looked at her with a bitter expression, "Miss, today I have already found the murderer and arranged everything. I will come to bury Miss Fifth on the seventh day of her death. I have chosen the best coffin and cemetery according to Miss's instructions. The cemetery is surrounded by mountains and rivers, close to the Buddhist temple, and is a quiet and peaceful place."

Xue Zhiyi just nodded without saying anything. At the moment, she was so tired that she seemed to have been drained of all her strength. Only by leaning against Xue Runing's bed did she feel calmer.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Yun felt uncomfortable, and even asked her questions carefully: "Miss, we went to the Dali Temple today to see if there was any progress in the case?"

Xue Zhiyi slowly opened his closed eyes, with a cold and chilling look in his eyes: "The Dali Temple can't catch anyone."

She sneered tiredly, "We have to catch this person ourselves. There may be some twists and turns."

When her eyes fell on Xue Runing, she softened a little: "No matter how tortuous it is, I will avenge this vengeance."

……

night.

Yuzhi was quietly brought in through the side door of Jiangxuexuan.

Under the dim light, she bowed and said hurriedly, "Miss, I have something important to report. I ran away secretly, so I can only make it short."

Xue Zhiyi held her cold hand: "Don't worry."

Yuzhi mysteriously took out something from her sleeve, which looked like a piece of cloth, and handed it to Xue Zhiyi.

"What is this?" Xue Zhiyi asked.

Taking a deep breath, Yuzhi whispered, "This is... it was wrung out from the clothes that Madam asked me to secretly burn."

Xue Zhiyi frowned slightly and sniffed lightly: "The smell of blood? And a little... a faint scent of wintersweet?"

Yuzhi nodded: "This dress is stained with blood, and the reason why it is stained with blood is because this is the pajamas that Auntie Xiaorong wore when she had a miscarriage this morning..."

Xue Zhiyi was shocked: "It really is her."

If the clothes had nothing to do with Rong Ziying's miscarriage, why should they be burned in such a hurry?

"And..." Yuzhi's expression became more serious: "Madam, you asked me to burn two pieces of clothing today."

Xue Zhiyi's eyes darkened and he waited for her to say the next words.

I only heard Yuzhi say, "There is another piece of clothing, it belongs to my cousin."
