The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Mother Xiang also agreed: "Our second young lady is very straightforward. She can't tolerate so many twists and turns in her heart, so she is easily tricked by others."

Thinking of this, Aunt Rong also felt indignant, and her brows were furrowed like a knot.

"There are only a bunch of servants in the manor who are not important. Rou'er has never suffered from hardship since she was a child. The master is cruel and sent her to such a miserable place. How can I not feel distressed?"

As he spoke, his eyes, which had faint wrinkles around them, turned a little red.

Mother Xiang quickly consoled her: "Don't worry, Auntie. Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching and the Second Young Master will be back soon. Auntie's letter has already been sent to Linzhou. The Second Young Master is so filial that he will not bear to see Auntie worrying about this. He will definitely think of a way for Auntie."

When Xue Tingliu was mentioned, Aunt Rong's complexion finally improved a little: "Yes, my son Tingliu is the most favored by the master. If he is allowed to come and beg for mercy, I think Rou'er will be back soon."

As they were talking, Xue Zhentong had already finished his shower. He walked forward in his pajamas, still damp with moisture, and his round belly swaying.

"What did the master and servant say?"

Because of Xue Panrou's matter, Xue Zhentong hasn't come to see Aunt Rong for some time.

Although Xue Zhentong has been immersed in officialdom for many years and is quite dignified in his daily life, when he smiles, his face is still kind and he looks like a good old man.

Aunt Rong, who had been angry just now, changed her expression when she saw Xue Zhentong, and her face was full of respect and gentle smile.

"I was talking about the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's almost here, and Ting Liu will finally be back."

Speaking of Xue Tingliu, Xue Zhentong was in a good mood. He laughed twice, "Yes, Tingliu is young and a new official. I think he has suffered a lot of setbacks. He hasn't been home for more than half a year. I don't know if he has lost weight."

Aunt Rong smiled calmly and handed the freshly peeled orange to Xue Zhentong's mouth: "This child is filial. He always asks about the master's health in his letters."

Xue Zhentong said to Juzi: "Among so many children, he is the one who gives me the least worries. When he passed the imperial examination, he was so young and looks so good. Which colleague in the court would not envy me for having such a good son?"

"That's what the master said."

After eating the oranges, Aunt Rong began to massage Xue Zhentong's shoulders again: "Ting Liu said that during these days in Linzhou, he was looking forward to the family reunion every day."

Xue Zhentong closed his eyes with great enjoyment. When he talked about reunion, Aunt Rong's hands increased the strength intentionally or unintentionally.

He sighed and said, "Rou'er is really too immature. With such a temper, how can she get married in the future? Let her suffer a little this time so that she can learn her lesson. Otherwise, she will suffer in the future."

From an angle that Xue Zhentong couldn't see, Aunt Rong's expression darkened. She looked aggrieved and unwilling, but her voice was still soft.

"What the master is saying is that Rou'er is just a little impatient, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. I believe that after this incident, she will definitely learn a good lesson and will not dare to do it again."

"Really?" Xue Zhentong laughed dryly and shook his head: "Don't I know her? She must be full of resentment at the moment, thinking that I, as a father, am too unkind."

"Master, you worry too much."

Aunt Rong rubbed his shoulders more and more diligently. Although her voice was no longer young, she still pinched her throat and her soft and gentle voice fell into his ears. There was an indescribable weirdness, but Xue Zhentong seemed to enjoy it very much.

"Although Rou'er is not a smart child, she can understand the master's good intentions. She also knows in her heart that the master loves her the most and will definitely not let her suffer."

……

Three days later, the moon rose above the willow trees.

Xue Hanshu had already changed into a light green gauze dress, with willow-colored silk ribbons that bound her small waist so tightly that it could not be grasped with one hand. She had a pair of lily-shaped buns, and her willow-shaped eyebrows were as soft as water. Her clear eyes were sparkling and full of waves. Although she was not a top-notch beauty, her graceful and delicate temperament was truly unforgettable.

Youlan knelt down beside her.

"Miss...Miss, you can't do that. If you are discovered, I will be killed without a complete body!"

"If you try to persuade me again, I will kill you immediately!" Xue Hanshu's eyes were wide open with anger, without any trace of gentleness from before.

"Listen, you must stay in the courtyard today and not leave even a step. No matter who comes, you must bite me to death. I am not feeling well today and I am resting in bed. No one is allowed to disturb me. If this matter gets out, you and I will both die. Do you hear me?"

"Yes... yes... I obey your command..." Youlan lay on the ground, her back trembling with fear.

In the night, Xue Hanshu quietly slipped out from the back door.

But she didn't notice the corridor not far away, and the next sight was quietly looking towards here.

Shortly after she went out, another person followed her footsteps.

……

The lights are dim by the river.

Under the Jinlu Bridge, a pleasure boat was parked on the shore.

The streets of Huajing are very lively. Even at night, people are still coming and going on the streets. The lights stretch along the river bank, and the pleasure boats on the river bank are filled with the sound of stringed instruments and the aroma of fragrance.

Probably it was her first time going out alone at night, Xue Hanshu still seemed a little nervous and awkward. She stroked her chest gently. This was the first time she was so bold, and at this moment she could only feel her heart pounding.

Finally, a man dressed as a servant came up to her.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Xue?"

Xue Hanshu calmed down the tension on her face and asked him, "Who asked you to come?"

The servant replied respectfully, "Sir, just say that if there is a beautiful girl named Xue, please move to the painted boat for a chat."

A hint of sweetness appeared on Xue Hanshu's lips, and she walked into a pleasure boat with the boy.

The people who followed Xue Hanshu here could not go any further. They could only watch her walk onto the pleasure boat alone, and then turned and left.

…………

"What?! Secretly meeting a stranger!"

Aunt Rong's voice was a little excited. She clenched her handkerchief tightly in her hand, her almond-shaped eyes wide open with disbelief.

"Heh... I didn't expect that a person who normally doesn't even dare to breathe would dare to do such a bold thing! If the master knew about this, this little bitch would not be able to survive!"

She muttered to herself, her smile growing deeper.

"Did you see who the adulterer was?"

Madam Xiang shook her head and said, "I didn't see it clearly, but I think it's correct. I heard with my own ears that the boy said 'our young master'."

"Okay... okay! This little bitch is so bold, so don't blame me for sending her to death! And Fu Ling, that bitch, I will not let anyone who has schemed against Rou'er go!"

……

Before we knew it, it was the night of the Mid-Autumn family dinner.

After nightfall, the Xue Mansion was decorated with lights and the servants had already prepared offerings for moon worship.

The banquet in the main hall of the Xue family had already been arranged, and the servants were busy coming in and out, waiting for the masters to take their seats.

"I heard that the second young master will be back today." Su Yue whispered in Xue Zhiyi's ear.

Xue Zhiyi just smiled and didn't comment.

It would be great if he came back. It would be more lively if he came back.
