The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Although Huo Wuyou pretended to be calm, his trembling eyelashes betrayed his current uneasiness.

Xue Zhiyi knew that her goal had been achieved at this moment, and Huo Wuyou would help her leave the Xue family.

She wanted to take advantage of Huo Wuyou's help to completely cut off all ties with the Xue family.

So she just stared into his eyes, but put the handkerchief he had not taken into his palm: "Lin'an Hou asked me if Prince Gong and I are of the same kind."

She smiled, and said seriously and firmly: "I can tell you, my Lord, that Prince Gong is to me just like he is to you, an enemy, not a friend, and certainly not my future husband."

The sudden warmth and softness in his hand made Huo Wuyou's heart skip a beat, but his eyes remained fixed on Xue Zhiyi's face.

He knew that his mind was dizzy at the moment, and the little rationality he had tried to use to remind him of the woman's cunning and hypocrisy, but the more he thought about it... the more he wanted to take such a risk.

"You better remember what you said."

Not knowing what he was thinking, he clenched the handkerchief in his hand and spoke softly: "I am also curious, why do you hate the Xue family so much, and how do you want to completely break off with the Xue family?"

He smiled slowly: "You must have a lot of secrets."

Xue Zhiyi smiled in response: "Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long."

As their eyes met, the light around them became dim in the dusk. It was eerily quiet in the evening.

This allows some small sounds to be clearly heard.

The cautious sound of the door opening made Xue Zhiyi distracted. Through the screen, he vaguely saw a figure entering the door.

It’s Su Yue.

"Hurry up, there are people here." Xue Zhiyi almost spoke to him with his breath.

Huo Wuyou's mood improved visibly after getting the answer. He laughed and said, "What are you afraid of?"

"Hurry up!" she urged.

Having seen Xue Zhiyi's affected look when she took advantage of his feelings many times, he particularly enjoyed her panic at this moment.

Seeing the person behind the screen approaching, Huo Wuyou stopped teasing her and stood up, hiding himself behind the curtain.

At this moment, Su Yue came in and saw Xue Zhiyi sitting there. She said, "Miss, you are awake. I thought you were still asleep."

As she said this, she placed the dishes on the table and said, "Miss, you have slept for the whole afternoon today. It is already dark. Hurry up and have some dinner."

Glancing at the curtain that still hid a person, Xue Zhiyi replied with a guilty conscience: "Yeah."

Su Yue set the table and went to find a fire starter to light the lamp.

The cabinet where the tinder was kept was right next to the curtain. Xue Zhiyi's heart tightened and his heart beat fast.

Fortunately, Su Yue was used to being careless and did not notice the person behind the curtain.

Just as Su Yue found the tinder and turned to light the lamp——

Huo Wuyou walked out from behind the curtain.

Xue Zhiyi widened his eyes and silently warned him with his mouth: "Go back!"

However, Huo Wuyou did not show any nervousness at all as he entered the room. His footsteps were almost silent as if they were stepping on the snow, so Su Yue, who was concentrating on lighting the lamp, did not notice it at all.

The lights flickered and lit up, illuminating the main room of Jiangxuexuan in the evening.

Suddenly, Su Yue felt a flash of light...

She turned around suddenly, but saw that there was no one else in the room except their young lady.

She was dazed and thought it was just an illusion.

Looking at the direction where Huo Wuyou had just left through the window, Xue Zhiyi was still terrified... Who was more daring? !

"Miss?" Xue Zhiyi came back to his senses after calling her again.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?" Su Yue asked her.

"No..." Xue Zhiyi lifted the quilt, put on his shoes and stood up: "Let's eat."

……

The nights in early spring are a bit chilly.

Fu Rongxin, however, put on a cloak and went out at night.

Coming to this street near Fulufang again, the scene of Xue Runing's death flashed through her mind, and she was still filled with fear.

Going deeper into the alley, she stopped in front of an unfamiliar doorway.

Now she can't wait any longer. Xue Zhiyi already knows the cause of Xue Runing's death, and Xue Zhiyi will spare no effort to deal with her.

Now she is powerless and her parents are partial to her and useless. There are some things she can only make her own decisions.

Looking at the place in front of her, this was the address she had coaxed Fu Ling from for a long time before she got it from him.

Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door.

After a moment, the door opened.

The person who opened the door was a woman in her forties or fifties, dressed simply and with a few gray hairs on her head. Seeing that the person knocking on the door was a stranger, a bright and beautiful young girl, she was stunned for a moment: "Excuse me, girl, did you knock on the wrong door?"

Fu Rongxin smiled slightly and said, "I wonder if Mei Gu is still doing midwifery work now?"

The woman's expression was relieved: "Please come in, young lady."

She opened the door and invited him in, and Fu Rongxin followed her in.

There was only one light on in the dim room. Mei Gu poured a cup of tea and placed it on the table. "Where does the girl's family live? When will she give birth? How old is she? When do you need me to come over?"

Mei Gu thought that she was here to find a midwife for her family, so she entertained her warmly.

Looking at the unpainted chair, Fu Rongxin thought it was rough and didn't sit down. She just smiled and said, "It's not about this."

As she spoke, she placed a bag of silver on the table.

Facing Aunt Mei's puzzled look, she said, "I want to ask Aunt Mei to help me recall one thing - do you still remember that seventeen years ago, you swapped the identities of two swaddled baby girls?"

As soon as these words came out, Mei Gu's expression suddenly changed: "Who are you!"

Fu Rongxin's eyes were filled with a bit of coldness in her smile: "Do you know that the two baby girls you exchanged were the legitimate daughter of the Xue family, the Shangshufu of the Ministry of Revenue, and a lowly concubine's daughter of a merchant family? Do you know that you did such a heinous thing that made me stay away from my parents for so many years, and my life was worse than death?"

Hearing this, Mei Gu fell into a chair and said, "You are... that child?"

Suddenly, she shook her head and said, "No...it's not my fault!"

She explained anxiously, "At that time, Madam Xue and another family were trapped in an inn outside the capital due to heavy rain. The two gave birth one after another, but Madam Xue said that her child was seriously ill. She wanted to make Minister Xue think that she was not good, so she asked me to exchange her child with the healthy child of another family! This was Madam Xue's idea, how can you blame me?"

"No." Fu Rongxin sneered: "It was not replaced by Madam Xue. Madam Xue doesn't know about this."

Mei Gu was stunned. Looking at Fu Rongxin's smile, she felt a chill all over her body.

Fu Rong thought, "It was the concubine of the merchant family. She saw that she and the Shangshu's wife were trapped in the same inn and both gave birth. Madam Xue gave birth to a daughter of a rich family, while her child was a lowly merchant's concubine. She became jealous, so she took advantage of the crowd that day and bribed you to replace the prince, reversing the identities of the two baby girls."

Seeing that Mei Gu still wanted to deny it, Fu Rongxin's voice became a little colder: "Mei Gu, I need you to remember what I said in your mind, and then say it in front of the Xue family to prove that I am the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and the current Miss Xue is the concubine's daughter of the Shang family."

At the beginning, Fu Ling could have killed the witness, but she didn't. Instead, she gave Mei Gu a sum of hush money so that she could settle down in Huajing, so that one day she could become the witness of Fu Rongxin's return to her ancestral home and complete the play.

Now that Fu Ling was hesitant, Fu Rong felt uneasy, so she could only take the initiative to find Mei Gu.

As long as Mei Gu spoke this matter out in public, her parents would have no choice but to go along with it and let her restore her status.

Only in this way can that beast Gao Qingnian give up his thoughts on her, and completely expel Xue Zhiyi from the Xue family. From then on, he will be isolated and helpless, and it will be much easier to deal with him.
