The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

"Not only that." Youlan continued, "After the Zhao brothers and sisters left, the fourth young lady wrote another letter and put it in the poetry collection, asking the shopkeeper to pass it to Zhao Sanlang. Zhao Sanlang was a frequent visitor to the study, so the shopkeeper agreed."

"What does the letter say?" Xue Zhiyi asked.

Youlan said, "The fourth young lady said in the letter that it is not good to take away what Zhao Wuniang loves, so she is handing the collection back. I hope Zhao Wuniang will not be sad about this."

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi wanted to applaud Xue Hanshu.

She is really resourceful and knows how to control men even better than Hua Niang whom she met in Chunfeng Tower in her previous life.

She is truly a fragile, helpless, yet considerate little white flower. Not only that, she is also a little white flower that is full of poetry and has deep insights into poetry and songs.

In his previous life, Zhao Sanlang, a frequent visitor to Chunfeng Tower, loved to sing and play with the moon. However, he had to face the shrew Xue Panrou, and even had to hide his head and tail when he went to Chunfeng Tower to have fun.

In this life, he was given such a woman named Xue Hanshu who was in love with him and was a perfect match for him. Wouldn't he love her to death?

Oh my God, Xue Zhiyi is so considerate that it makes people cry!

It won't be long before Zhao Shen will find a way to find Xue Hanshu on his own.

When Youlan was leaving, Xue Zhiyi asked Qiuyun to give her a reward, but she refused to accept it. She just bowed deeply and said, "Miss San, it is a great blessing for Youlan that you are willing to protect her. Youlan will never accept the reward."

Youlan's timid and pitiful look made people feel distressed. Xue Zhiyi just squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry, just do as I say, and I will definitely give you back your freedom."

After that, he took out a box of ointment from the bedside compartment and handed it to Youlan: "It's fine if you don't want the reward money, but this medicine is for you. Keep it and apply it on yourself. Take good care of your injuries so that you can leave Xue Mansion safely one day."

With tears in her eyes, Youlan nodded her head again and again: "Thank you very much, Third Miss!"

Watching Youlan's leaving figure, Su Yue sighed: "I didn't know she had such a hard life these years."

Xue Zhiyi's eyes darkened: The world divides people into high and low classes, so there are people like Xue Hanshu who fear the strong and bully the weak.

Jealousy from above and humiliation from below.

When you are inferior to others, you will be careful to please them on the surface, but hate and curse them behind their backs.

But as long as they are superior to others, they no longer regard the lives of those below them as their own and they may treat them as they please.

So is Xue Hanshu, and so is Fu Rongxin.

They are just the same people.

Xue Zhiyi still remembers that in the sky prison, facing her unwillingness and hatred, Fu Rongxin smiled so calmly and indifferently.

"The value of a person's life will never change from the moment they are born. Do you understand? Xue Zhiyi, you are just a lowly orphan who has been abandoned by your own parents. You should be content to be able to take my place for twenty years."

Yes, the true phoenix, how noble.

She was just an ant, but she was able to protect the Phoenix from disaster. She should not feel resentful, but grateful.

It’s a pity that no one deserves to be at the mercy of others, and no one is born to be someone else’s stepping stone.

After all, no matter how humble an ant is, it will bite back.

……

The next night.

The back door of Xue Mansion

The shadows of the trees rustled gently, and in the moonlight that was as cool as water, a figure was sneaking around.

I saw a woman dressed as a second-class maid, who seemed to be holding something in her hand, quietly closing the door.

As soon as she entered the door and walked through the corridor, she almost bumped into another figure.

"Mother Xiang...but what instructions does Aunt Rong have?"

In front of her was a plump old maid who was about forty years old, with a pair of shrewd little eyes sandwiched between wrinkles.

It was Madam Xiang, the person in charge of Aunt Rong.

At this moment, those little eyes were looking her up and down, full of suspicion.

"Youlan, what are you doing here so late at night?"

"me"

Youlan's thin body was completely blocked by Xiang's mother, leaving her with no way to go.

Seeing Youlan's evasive gaze, Xiang's mother became even more suspicious: "What are you holding in your hand?"

I saw Youlan holding a small food basket in her hand.

She smiled guiltily: "The fourth lady was hungry at night and sent me to the kitchen to get some snacks."

"Why are you so sneaky about taking the snacks? Let me take a look.

"

I don’t know if it’s because of the moonlight, but Youlan’s face looked a little pale, and her hands even trembled slightly when she opened it.

Mother Xiang stretched her head to look into the food basket and saw that there were indeed a few mung bean cakes on the small lotus cup inside.

Youlan forced a smile and said, "Mom has also seen it. These are indeed some snacks. Please help me not to embarrass me. If I delay the fourth young lady's meal, I'm afraid that Mom will be punished for nothing."

Mother Xiang sneered and raised her chest a little, as if to say, how could the Fourth Young Miss have the guts to punish Fei Luxuan.

“It’s really a snack.”

Mother Xiang snorted slowly, looking at Youlan's timid appearance, she glanced at her and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. You look so unpresentable."

I don't know whether he is talking about Youlan or Xue Hanshu.

……

Light Green House.

Xue Hanshu's injuries had mostly healed. Her thin and slender fingers were twisting a piece of peach blossom paper. Under the candlelight, her round face, which had a slightly bookish air, was full of joy.

"He really did remember me. He really didn't let me go..."

She was a little excited.

"Miss, what does the letter say?" Youlan asked cautiously.

Perhaps because of Zhao Shen's reply, Xue Hanshu was in a good mood. Rarely, she also smiled at Youlan.

"Zhao Sanlang asked me to go to Jinlu Bridge in three days. He booked a pleasure boat there and invited me to appreciate poetry."

Youlan looked worried: "But, Miss, there will be no festival or lantern festival in three days. I'm afraid the master and the mistress will not allow you to go out."

"Silly girl!" She said with a tut. "Of course my parents won't let me go out, so can I not go? Just like they won't choose a good marriage for me, can I not get married?"

"Miss, what you mean is... you want to go out without telling the master and the mistress?"

"Is there any better way?" Xue Hanshu asked her.

Hearing this, Youlan knelt down with a plop: "Miss, you can't do this. If the master and the mistress knew, they would be furious!"

"Why don't we just not let them know?!"

"But...but..."

"But what? As long as it's well concealed, no one will find out. But if I miss Zhao Sanlang, what better chance will I have in my life? As long as I can control Zhao Sanlang and make him marry me, I'll have won the bet!"

Seeing that Youlan still wanted to persuade her, Xue Hanshu said angrily: "If you say no again, you will kneel at the door tonight!"

Youlan finally shut up.

So Xue Hanshu continued to look at the letter happily. She ordered, "Go and take out my clothes and jewelry so I can choose."

……

Feiluxuan.

"What did you say?"

Under the lamp, before going to bed, Aunt Rong's long black hair was scattered and her brows were slightly furrowed. Although she was already middle-aged, wrinkles on her face quietly crept up to the corners of her eyes, but her every move still had charm. No wonder she could remain in favor for so many years.

She stopped peeling the orange and glanced in the direction of the bathroom where Xue Zhentong was taking a shower. She lowered her voice.

"You mean, Youlan from that little bitch Xue Hanshu's room is sneaking around the back door?"

Madam Xiang did not dare to speak loudly. She only said, "I only vaguely saw her at the back door. I don't know what she was doing. There were indeed snacks in the food basket, but as for whether there were other things in it, I don't know."

"There must be something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary." Aunt Rong snorted coldly, "That little bitch is definitely up to no good. If I can take this opportunity to find out what she did wrong, I can vent my anger for my Rou'er!"

After that, she ordered Mother Xiang: "Keep a close eye on her for me, especially that girl Youlan. I will make sure that little bitch suffers a heavy defeat in my hands!"
