The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Fu Rongxin, Xue Zhiyi's mortal enemy in two lives, if nothing unexpected happens, this time they will be completely done with each other.

"Fu Rongxin?" Huo Wuyou said, "The evidence is irrefutable and he poisoned an official of the imperial court. The Fu family of Linzhou has no intention of saving him. He has been sentenced to death by hanging according to the law. The execution will probably be carried out this month."

"That's a good deal for her." Xue Zhiyi's voice was calm, yet it carried a chilling sinister tone.

In her previous life, she was also strangled to death, but her death was much more miserable than this.

She was tortured in prison, even her spine was broken, and she died in Fu Rongxin's hands like a puddle of mud.

Now it seems that everything has returned to Fu Rongxin.

It can be said that everything will be rewarded in the end.

The bad debt that Fu Rongxin owed her could finally be settled with her death.

Seeing that Huo Wuyou was staring at her without blinking, he seemed to be more curious about the flickering emotions in her eyes.

Xue Zhiyi just raised his lips and said, "Don't be surprised, Marquis Lin'an. I am just a puppet chosen by the Xue family to protect Fu Rongxin from disasters. But they didn't expect to find an evil star like me and take the lives of all of them."

After staring at her for a while, Huo Wuyou just leaned against the window and smiled leisurely: "You are so lucky, they can't bear it."

The brief glance made Xue Zhiyi smile inadvertently: He is quite good at comforting people.

"It was Aunt Mei." Huo Wuyou shook his head. "She admitted her guilt and said that she helped Fu Ling to steal the dragon and switch the phoenix. She also insisted that you were from the Fu family."

"I won't go to the Fu family." Xue Zhiyi said.

Seeing that she had a cold face again, Huo Wuyou tapped her head with his finger: "Don't worry, your current official status has nothing to do with the Fu family or the Xue family."

"Thank you." Xue Zhiyi knew that Huo Wuyou's efforts were indispensable during this process.

He tilted his head and looked at Xue Zhiyi: "Don't be polite. With our relationship, how can I say thank you?"

Xue Zhiyi raised his eyebrows to look at him, but he said as if it was a matter of course: "After all, we are friends who have risked our lives together, right?"

"..." Xue Zhiyi remained silent, but did not deny it.

Seeing this, Huo Wuyou felt happy again. Looking at the bright spring light under the four-cornered sky, he felt it was particularly pleasant.

"Go on." Xue Zhiyi's voice brought his scattered thoughts back to normal.

After thinking for a while, he remembered the important matter that he had not finished talking about just now: "To secretly replace someone else's child like this, the only punishment is imprisonment, but Mei Gu admitted that she helped Fu Rongxin to poison, and the maid beside Fu Rongxin did not know about it and had nothing to do with this matter, so she has been acquitted."

"How could this happen?" Xue Zhiyi didn't understand: "Why would she take the initiative to admit to such a murder?"

Huo Wuyou spread his hands and said, "I don't know. She hanged herself on the night she confessed her guilt. There was no sign of anyone entering the prison. It must have been suicide without a doubt."

"died?!"

Why would a person who could have avoided death confess so resolutely? And why would he voluntarily go to die with the charge?

"Is she protecting someone?" Xue Zhiyi asked.

"Maybe." Huo Wuyou thought for a moment and said, "I will continue to investigate this matter outside the palace."

Xue Zhiyi didn't know what he was thinking about, and his heart tightened.

There was one question that she had been avoiding the entire time.

Looking at Xue Zhiyi's unconsciously clenched fingers, Huo Wuyou seemed to have guessed what she was thinking.

His tone slowed down and became cautious: "As for the Tang family, Hua Jing's affairs have been kept secret. A few days ago, Madam Tang gave birth to the Tang family's eldest grandson. I'm afraid Tang Jinglei will keep these things secret until she is one month old."

Thinking of this, Xue Zhiyi felt as if his heart was being violently rubbed.

If she were to say from beginning to end, the only person she always felt she owed was Xue Ruoyu.

The Xue family deserves to die, all of them deserve to die... But why is Xue Ruoyu the daughter of Xue Zhentong and Fu Ling?

She is kind and compassionate. She is the only good person left in the Xue family and one of the few people in Xue Zhiyi's two lives who can make her feel the love of family.

Seeing Xue Zhiyi in a daze, his eyes were red, and his eyelashes were trembling, it seemed that he was in unbearable pain.

"Zhi Yi." He just sighed, "On the way to the palace that day, you asked me to help you guard against the news that was transmitted to Jiangzhou, so that Madam Tang would not be frightened before giving birth. Now that I can save them and their child, I have done my best."

Xue Zhiyi closed his eyes and held back the trembling in his eyes.

She couldn't use Huo Wuyou's words to excuse herself. Some things were done and they were done.

But she would not regret what she had done. Now that things had come to this, it was she who had sent Xue Ruoyu's flesh and blood to her death. This was an irreversible fact.

As for Xue Ruoyu, she could be said to have repaid kindness with enmity.

Xue Ruoyu would hate her, hate her to the core, but she accepted it and was willing to bear the consequences of this matter.

When she opened her eyes again, they were clear, as if all her thoughts were suppressed in her heart.

Now is not the time to be sad, she still has a lot of things to do.

When the day comes when she has to face Xue Ruoyu, she is willing to bear all the consequences of her actions.

She, Xue Zhiyi, feels guilty but has no regrets.

She looked at Huo Wuyou sincerely again. Before she spoke, Huo Wuyou lightly nodded her head and said, "Don't thank me."

Xue Zhiyi couldn't help but chuckled as he was about to ask something, but Huo Wuyou predicted in advance: "Don't worry, I've taken care of everything you asked me to do, including Yuzhi. As a maid of the Xue family, she was sold again when the family property was confiscated. I bought her and sent her to Miss Shen. She has already reunited with An'er."

After that, he stretched slowly and said, "How about going out of the palace to have a look?"

Xue Zhiyi reminded him: "Female officials cannot leave the palace at will."

Huo Wuyou wanted to touch her head again, but Xue Zhiyi was prepared in advance. She clicked her tongue and stopped him.

Huo Wuyou withdrew his hand somewhat uninterestedly: "But according to palace rules, the Queen Mother can send people out of the palace. Besides, we are here to do business."

As he spoke, he folded his arms and moved closer, asking curiously, "You asked Chuizhu to tell my people that there is something important for me to do. What is it?"

Although Chuizhu was just a eunuch who could not enter and leave the palace at will, there were still imperial doctors and guards who could enter and leave the palace. Among these people, Huo Wuyou had his own eyes and ears.

Xue Zhiyi only smiled mysteriously: "Of course I promised the Marquis what he did before. If I don't fulfill it, wouldn't it be a shame for the Marquis' hard work for me?"

……

Somewhere in a corner of Jianzhang Palace.

Tu Lanying stood straight here, his forehead was covered with sweat from exhaustion, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

"How long shall I stand?"

Chai Yue said, "You are outspoken and have violated the palace rules. Marquis Lin'an has ordered you to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes. This is already a light punishment. Just stand there for two hours and think it over. Don't do it again next time."
