The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

"Oh?" Huo Wuyou looked at her and said teasingly, "Simple, just like the other two, come to my house and be a maid."

Then he added, "I treat you very well in my house."

Xue Zhiyi seemed to be really considering the possibility of this matter. She thought for a moment and said, "But I heard that Beidi intends to send an envoy."

Huo Wuyou poured a cup of tea and asked her, "Are you going to Beidi?"

But Xue Zhiyi said, "The Northern Di envoys are coming. The palaces of Sifang Pavilion are old and I am afraid it cannot accommodate the Northern Di envoys. I also heard that the Honglu Temple intends to ask for permission to expand Sifang Pavilion."

"I've heard that, too." Huo Wuyou said, "So the Fulufang near Sifang Pavilion might have been purchased from the people by the court because of the expansion of Sifang Pavilion."

This was what Xue Zhiyi had originally planned for Xue Runing. According to her memories from her previous life, she had known that Sifang Pavilion would be expanded, so she bought the land of Fulufang in advance in this life.

Once the Northern Di delegation is confirmed to come, it will not leave the Honglu Temple much time to prepare. Sifangguan is in a hurry to expand and has no time to lobby the people of Fulufang to lower the price. It will purchase the property at a price much higher than the market price so that the people will move out voluntarily.

In this way, Runing's money could be doubled, not only could he buy another house, but he could also settle down.

Unfortunately... I didn't expect that all this would be ruined by Fu Rongxin.

She will not let Fu Rongxin go.

Seeing Xue Zhiyi in a daze, Huo Wuyou asked her, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Xue Zhiyi recovered and said, "I happen to have a few houses in Fulufang. When the time comes, I can buy new property and I'll have a place to go."

After thinking for a while, she said, "Or...Lin'an Hou can help me find a better place?"

"Well..." Looking at her not-so-innocent eyes, Huo Wuyou smiled slightly: "Let's see how you perform next and decide accordingly."

……

Yanyunju.

"The exam will be held in ten days. What are you going to do?"

Fu Ling was so worried that he couldn't sleep for days. He looked at Xue Tingsheng who was being supported by others to walk. It had been three months and his injuries had recovered, but his schoolwork had been delayed. He was still in such a bad spirit and had caught a cold in the past few days.

Is it going to be delayed for another three years?

If this continues, Xue Tingliu will have already become well-established in the court, but Di Tingsheng will not even be able to hold an official position.

Fu Ling was so anxious that she wanted to cry. She looked at Xue Tingsheng with a look of regret. She really didn't know what possessed her son. Why did he bother his father for no reason? Xue Zhentong was also a bastard. He knew that the examination was coming soon, but he was so cruel to his own son. Did he want to kill him?

After walking for a while, Xue Tingsheng sat down again because of the cold and lack of strength. He looked depressed: "Mom, I will definitely fail again this year. I have disappointed you."

His voice was cold and hard when he spoke. He could not understand why his mother could not help him and his cousin Rongxin to be together. If his mother had agreed at that time, he would not have to go to his father to be beaten.

"What do you mean it can't be done?" Fu Ling felt depressed and felt a pain in his heart.

She hesitated for a moment, then said to the servants, "Everyone please leave first."

After the servants left, Fu Ling sat down in front of Xue Tingsheng: "Tingsheng, this time, you have to pass the exam no matter what."

Xue Tingsheng's face turned pale, and he coughed twice: "Mom, don't force it. When I was healthy, I might not have passed the exam, let alone my current condition. Maybe what Dad said is right, I am just a useless piece of shit."

"Good-for-nothing!" If he hadn't been sick, Fu Ling really wanted to slap her.

All her daughters were outstanding, and even Xue Zhiyi, who was raised by her, was quite outstanding. Why couldn't she raise her only son well? If Tingsheng didn't look a bit like her, she would have suspected that it was Xue Tingsheng who was taken away by mistake!

Thinking of this, she glanced around again, and after making sure that there was no one else in the room, she carefully took out a book from the interlayer of the lunch box she brought for Xue Tingsheng.

Seeing Xue Tingsheng looking at her blankly, Fu Ling urged him and stuffed the book into his hands: "Take it!"

Fu Ling lowered his voice and said, "In ten days, memorize this thing thoroughly. Do you hear me?"

"What... is this?"

Xue Tingsheng wanted to pick it up and look through it, but Fu Ling quickly stopped him: "Wait until I'm gone before you look at it. Don't let anyone find out."

Seeing Fu Ling like this, Xue Tingsheng couldn't help but feel a little scared: "Mom?"

Fu Ling looked at him solemnly, "Your father risked his life to get this topic from the Ministry of Rites, and asked his trusted adviser to write it. If you memorize it well, you can at least pass the imperial examination. You have to memorize it even if you die. Do you hear me?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Tingsheng was so frightened that he almost lost his grip: "Mom... this is cheating!"

"Everyone knows this is cheating!" Fu Ling scolded him, "If you have the ability, why would your father take such a risk? Now that the arrow has been shot, there is no turning back. You can't fail the exam again, even if you risk your life. Otherwise, not only will I be embarrassed, but your father will also be ashamed to face others. When your father doesn't care about you anymore, you can just wait for Xue Tingliu to ride on your head and bully you!"

Thinking of this, Xue Tingsheng showed reluctance on his face. After a moment of silence, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, mother, your son will not let you down again."

……

But after all, a test paper has about 2,000 words, and it is difficult for him to memorize it since he is sick now.

So for several days in a row, Xue Tingsheng stayed up until late at night.

When Hu Bai came, he was drowsy.

"Young Master? Young Master?"

Hu Bai called out several times before Xue Tingsheng, who was shaking with his head propped up, suddenly woke up. Thinking of Fu Ling's words, he quickly closed the book and asked, "What's the matter?"

Hu Bai just pretended not to notice and said, "The master asked me to ask how the young master is doing with his studies."

After calming down a bit, Xue Tingsheng said, "Tell my father that I'm fine and I will definitely pass the exam successfully this time."

Hu Bai responded with a concerned look on his face: "Master, you are working so hard. I feel bad for you. Especially since you are taking medicine for typhoid fever, you are dizzy and exhausted. The master is worried, so he sent me to ask you this. The master also reminded you to take medicine on time and not to delay your illness for studying."

Xue Zhentong rarely acted like a loving father in front of Xue Tingsheng. Hearing this, Xue Tingsheng's brows relaxed a little: "Thank you for your concern, father. I will greet him tomorrow morning."

After thinking for a while, Hu Bai hesitated to speak, as if he had something else to say to him.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Xue Tingsheng asked him.

But then Hu Bai said, "Master, please forgive me for being so nosy. Your health is very important, but you have studied for so many years. Now is the time when you can't waste any time. This cold medicine always makes people feel lazy. Why don't you stop taking it?"

Xue Tingsheng frowned: "How can I stop taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor at will?"

Hearing this, Hu Bai nodded and bowed, "Master, you are right. But when I am sick, if I have to do something important, I always stop taking the medicine first, so that I can stay awake. I will take the medicine after the task is completed, and it won't delay me for long. But Master, you are a noble and educated person. I have never been to school, so I just think you are doing rough work like us. You are talking nonsense!"

After saying this, he slapped himself.

Although Xue Tingsheng did not agree with what he said, he still fell into deep thought.
