The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

The imperial examination lasted for three days, and every candidate's clothes and bedding had to be checked over and over again to ensure that there were no words or interlayers in them.

The whole family was called to the door early in the morning to see Xue Tingsheng off.

Xue Tingsheng, who was already ill, finally got rid of his fever after taking medicine, but he was exhausted and his face was still pale.

Xue Zhiyi looked at him, as if he could be blown away by the wind, and was almost carried to the Imperial Examination Hall.

He looked like he would die before the examination was over.

Fu Ling was so worried that she burst into tears. She couldn't stop crying until Xue Tingsheng's sedan chair was carried away.

However, everyone at the scene had their own thoughts. Only Xue Zhentong could sympathize with her and hoped that Xue Tingsheng would pass the imperial examination smoothly. The rest probably hoped that he would die of illness in the Imperial Examination Hall.

Fu Rongxin looked in the direction where Xue Tingsheng left, and indifferently withdrew her slightly contemptuous look. Seeing Fu Ling crying, she felt even more upset.

She felt extremely unwilling when she thought about Fu Ling's partiality, which forced her to make way for a waste like Xue Tingsheng.

However, she didn't know what she was thinking of, and the corner of her mouth suddenly raised: It will be soon, as long as these few days are over, she will be back to her position.

She glared at Xue Zhiyi: When the Xue family is gone, she, Xue Zhiyi, will be nothing!

Xue Zhiyi did not notice Fu Rongxin's eyes. She withdrew her gaze, but saw Xue Tingliu glancing at her. At this moment, she no longer had the fear and helplessness she had that night, and just looked back at him calmly.

It was time for her to fulfill her promise to Lu Minchun and give him a chance to clean up the Rong family and avenge his son.

She smiled silently and turned away.

……

Xue Tingsheng took the exam for a few days, and Fu Ling knelt in front of Buddha for a few days.

"Please, Bodhisattva, bless my son Tingsheng to pass the imperial examination successfully. I am willing to give you ten years of my life in exchange..."

Fu Ling had no idea how many times he had recited this, as if he was not afraid of shortening his lifespan.

On the third day, Xing's mother suddenly came into the temple and reported, "Madam, the Gao family wants to see you."

Fu Ling paused while tapping the wooden fish: "Which Gao family?"

……

The main hall of Xue Mansion.

When Xue Zhiyi arrived, she saw that Fu Ling had no time to pay attention to her, so she found a seat and sat down.

Fu Ling was sitting in the main seat. She held her head, which was dizzy with anger, and her voice was trembling: "Master Gao, did you make a mistake?"

There was a familiar person in the main hall.

I saw that Gao Qingnian looked much thinner than when I saw him last time. Perhaps because the weather had not yet warmed up, he was still wearing gloves on his hands.

Next to Gao Qingnian, there were several boxes tied with red silk.

He ignored Fu Ling who was about to faint and said, "You are not mistaken. I want to take Miss Fu as my concubine. I have informed the Fu family in Linzhou before. The Fu family has also promised the marriage and even prepared the engagement letter, so I came here to propose marriage."

Fu Ling felt a splitting pain in his chest, a bloody taste in his throat, and he almost vomited blood.

"Aunt...Aunt, I..." Fu Rong looked at Fu Ling anxiously. She was very panicked. She didn't expect that Gao Qingnian would dare to come to her house so soon!

When I attacked him that time, I really pushed him to the limit...

Xue Tingliu, who was watching all this, was calm and composed, as if he had expected it. He leisurely picked up an orange and peeled it slowly, as if watching a show.

Fu Ling resisted the urge to vomit blood. At this moment, he wished he could strangle Hu Shuixian to death with his own hands! That vicious woman actually dared to intervene in Rong Xin's marriage and secretly promised Rong Xin to someone as a concubine!

"Master Gao." She gritted her teeth and said, "Does Master Fu know about this?"

But Gao Qingnian was smiling warmly, but his eyes were sinister and fierce. He glanced at her, and her whole body froze.

He said, "Master Fu has not returned from his business trip, and Madam Fu also said that she has the right to decide on such matters. The marriage certificate has been approved by the government in Linzhou, and the engagement has been finalized. I have come to the Xue Mansion specifically to ask Madam Xue to choose an auspicious day."

Fu Rongxin bit her tongue to keep calm. She tried her best to speak calmly, but her voice was still a little trembling. "Master Gao, Rongxin has no intention of getting married yet, and without my father's approval, Rongxin dare not promise lightly. If Master Gao is willing to cancel the marriage, Rongxin can return the betrothal gift tenfold."

Although she said this, the look in her eyes when she looked at Gao Qingnian had a hint of pleading.

He had too many handles on her, and she was really scared. If she could get rid of him, even just temporarily, she would be willing to pay a hundred times the betrothal gift, let alone ten times the betrothal gift, to shut him up.

But Gao Qingnian's smile deepened. He said, "But I have a crush on Miss Fu. I can't forget her after seeing her for the first time. Money can't measure it. Please accept my love. From now on, I will cherish her in every way. Even if she becomes my concubine, I will not let her suffer any grievances."

As he spoke, he casually took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Fu Rongxin's breath was choked... What kind of handkerchief was that? It was clearly her undergarment that had been torn off that day, with the peony embroidered on it by her own hands.

Fu Rongxin felt that the blood in her body had frozen... He was threatening her!

This man has become a madman ever since he escaped death. It was he who caught Xue Runing who was trying to escape in the alley that day, otherwise she would not have had the chance to stab him with that hairpin.

This madman is indeed capable of doing something that will cost him his life!

If he made what he knew public, she would lose not only her reputation but her life as well!

Her hands were shaking badly...At this time, she still had someone to wait for. If she waited for that person, this matter would be able to turn around!

"Master Gao... Today is the last day of the imperial examination. Someone in my family is still in the Imperial Examination Hall. My aunt is very busy and I'm afraid she won't have time to take care of my marriage. Let's discuss this another day, shall we?"

To those who do not know the truth, Gao Qingnian is a sixth-rank official, while Fu Rongxin is just a concubine of a merchant family. Gao Qingnian's plan to take Fu Rongxin as his concubine is not only not a fantasy, but can even be considered a good match.

Moreover, Gao Qingnian had obtained the approval of Linzhou Fu family and the written documents from the government with the arrangement of his parents and the matchmaker. There was nothing wrong with him proposing marriage at this moment. As relatives, the Xue family had no right to stop this matter without the permission of the Fu family.

But Fu Ling was so angry that he went crazy and wished someone would beat to death this toad who wanted to eat swan flesh!

But she could only endure it: "Master Gao, this is not a trivial matter. My master has not yet left the court. After my master asks the Fu family about this matter, he will give you an answer."

Gao Qingnian smiled and bowed, "I apologize for being rude."

Glancing at Fu Rongxin, Gao Qingnian knew that she wanted to delay time, so he would not let her have her way. "Miss Fu, I came here today not only to propose marriage, but also to ask Miss Fu a question. I admire Miss Fu, but I don't know if Miss Fu has feelings for me after meeting at Xue Mansion that day? If she does, Gao is not afraid to wait."

At this moment, Fu Rongxin felt her hands itching to kill again. She thought to herself, this old beast actually wanted her to admit her affair with him in public. He didn't even look at who he was!

If she really admitted it, she would not be able to explain herself even if she had a mouth full of mouths.

But she didn't dare to deny it. She was afraid that this beast would be desperate and tell her the nasty things he did to her that day...

Fu Rongxin's face was pale, she bit her lip and said nothing. In the moment of her silence, Fu Ling also looked at her in a daze.

She didn't believe that her daughter would degenerate into such a thing, but Fu Rongxin's silence made her a little confused.

Seeing Fu Rongxin didn't say anything, Gao Qingnian laughed and said, "It seems that Miss Fu is really a forgetful person. That day, Miss Fu clearly said to Gao..."

Fu Rongxin felt her mind went blank and she almost fainted.

At this moment, a servant came hurriedly: "Madam, there is trouble outside."
