The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Xue Zhiyi didn't know how he walked out of the cell.

In the carriage, she looked at the blood stains on her palms. It was the blood flowing from Fu Ling's throat.

Her hands were still trembling slightly... At this moment, she didn't know what she felt.

Perhaps he felt hatred towards the Xue family, and also a bit of regret, regretting that he could have avoided the suffering of his previous life, and could have lived a peaceful life like an ordinary person, with his own parents loving him.

But now, she doesn't even know who the person who is looking for her is.

Suddenly, a supra hand fell into her hands.

She raised her eyes in a daze and saw Huo Wuyou looking at her.

This time, he did not ride a horse, but sat in the car with her, right next to her.

"Wipe it off," he said.

Xue Zhiyi still had some sobs in his throat: "Thank you."

Holding his chin in his hand, Huo Wuyou said, "I'll help you find it."

"what?"

Looking at his pair of phoenix eyes that were always careless, but now they seemed serious for a rare moment, Xue Zhiyi was unable to react for a moment.

"I will help you find your family."

For some reason, this person who is always unrestrained and uninhibited makes Xue Zhiyi feel a little safe in his heart, as if a drifting duckweed has found a place to rest.

Huo Wuyou tapped her forehead lightly with his finger: "What are you staring at?"

The moment they touched, it was like raindrops falling from the eaves creating ripples on the calm water... Xue Zhiyi blinked and looked away.

"It's difficult. There are no clues at all now."

Huo Wuyou just said: "Even geese leave traces when they pass by, and you are a human being. You will definitely leave traces when you walk through this world."

He opened the curtains and looked at the busy traffic outside the window: "If we can't find it, we'll just look for it slowly. Anyway, I'll take care of things outside the palace, so you don't have to worry about it."

It seemed that she had not yet recovered from the bitterness. Xue Zhiyi only felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart, which made her feel uncomfortable.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the dirty white handkerchief, not knowing what she was thinking. She folded it neatly, glanced at Huo Wuyou who was looking out the window at the moment, and put the handkerchief into her sleeve.

Suddenly, Huo Wuyou turned around, stared at Xue Zhiyi's eyes that were red from crying, and said seriously: "Don't be too moved. If you want to thank me, then..."

He narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly: "Just embroider the purse for me."

Xue Zhiyi was startled: "What purse?"

Huo Wuyou crossed his arms and said, "I heard everything. You embroidered a purse for me, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi burst out laughing. It was obvious that she was trying to piss off Lan Ying.

But Huo Wuyou seemed to take it seriously. He asked again, "Is it okay?"

But thinking about how hard he had worked for me these days and it was just a purse, I could agree to his request.

After a moment's silence, she hummed softly.

Huo Wuyou actually saw that she was in a bad mood and wanted to tease her intentionally, but he didn't expect Xue Zhiyi to really agree. His pair of auspicious phoenix eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised, and his voice softened a little: "Really?"

It's just a purse, why are you so overjoyed?

Xue Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little worried. If Huo Wuyou really fell in love with her, it might not end well in the future.

She didn't answer him, just looked out the window and changed the subject abruptly: "What are you doing over there?"

Huo Wuyou looked in the direction she was looking at, and saw a few children of seven or eight years old on the street. One of them was wearing a straw raincoat and holding a wooden sword. He was slashing at another child lying on the ground with great momentum, and he was imitating the tone of an actor, shouting: "Little thief Lu Yan, why don't you give me your life!"

The one lying prone covered his neck and twisted his body exaggeratedly: "Sir, spare my life!"

The children around clapped and cheered.

Huo Wuyou knew that she was just making small talk, so he didn't ask any more questions.

He explained: "The Lu Yan incident caused a lot of trouble, and the people hated him to the core. Now Lu Yan is dead, and the Lu family has fallen. However, in just a few days, many opera troupes have even arranged their plays. The people have spread the news by word of mouth, and the Lu family is now notorious."

Xue Zhiyi just sighed slowly: "Then the family can rest in peace."

As she spoke, she looked up at Huo Wuyou and said, "It's still early, come with me to buy some clothes."

"Buying clothes?" Huo Wuyou was puzzled, but still accompanied her.

But I didn't expect Xue Zhiyi to pick out a set of men's ready-made clothes and tie his hair up.

She had round almond eyes and a face as white as porcelain. When she dressed as a woman, she looked pretty, but when she put on men's clothes, she looked like a handsome young man with a delicate face.

Huo Wuyou held his chin and looked at her with interest: "Don't tell me, when you don't speak, it really looks like that."

But he still didn't understand Xue Zhiyi's intention: "Why did you suddenly want to dress up as a man? What do you want to do?"

Xue Zhiyi took a few steps closer, making sure that no one else could hear him, then he lowered his voice and said, "I promised you before that I would help you overthrow the Dali Temple Minister, and I don't want to break my promise."

Huo Wuyou narrowed his eyes and asked her, "What do you want me to do?"

Xue Zhiyi just smiled and said, "Accompany me to a place, and we will know the answer then."

……

But when the carriage drove into the red-light district and stopped outside a brothel, Huo Wuyou was still stunned: "What are you doing here?"

In front of the brothel, several heavily made-up women were welcoming and seeing off customers in a charming manner, and on the plaque, there were three big characters "Chunfenglou" written in bold letters.

Coming here, Xue Zhiyi felt a little depressed.

This place was her nightmare in her previous life.

She still remembered that when she was first sent here, she tried her best to escape and fight.

The madam of Chunfeng Tower saw that Xue Zhiyi came from a noble family and was a rare commodity, and could attract customers by claiming she was a daughter of a down-and-out official, so she wanted to let Xue Zhiyi figure it out herself and then sell her first night for a good price.

But I didn't expect that she was beaten, starved, locked in a dark room where she couldn't see her hand in front of her for several days and nights, and tortured like this for several months, but she still refused to give in.

Not only that, she also planned carefully, collected many tools without anyone noticing, got the clothes of the people downstairs of Chunfeng Tower, and racked her brains to sow discord among the guards and lure the tiger away from the mountain. Finally, late one night, she found the flaw of the guards and escaped from Chunfeng Tower quietly.

At that time, Xue Zhiyi thought she had finally escaped. She was helpless and could only run to Prince Gong's Mansion for her life, pinning her hopes on Prince Gong, who would help her out of Xue Zhentong's daily loyalty to her, and at least save the lives of the other members of the Xue family.

However, she did not expect that after listening to her statement in a condescending manner, Gu Shichong simply told her that she was already an official prostitute and was not allowed to escape without permission.

After that, without any hesitation, he had her escorted back to Chunfeng Tower. She begged bitterly, even if it was okay to throw her out of Huajing, she just begged not to be sent back to that devil's cave purgatory.

This escape completely made the brothel owner lose her patience, and she was thrown into a water dungeon.

Those seven days and seven nights seemed even longer than seven years. Every moment she wished she were really dead.

It was also during those seven days that she realized that no one could be trusted, and if she wanted to save the Xue family, she had to rely on herself.

So she gave in and put up a sign at Chunfeng Tower. She needed to rely on herself to please those powerful people and find out little by little how the court, which was completely unfamiliar to her, dragged her family into the abyss.

Even if this process is full of endless humiliation and pain.

Returning to this place now, although it has been a lifetime, it still seems like uncovering the bloody scar on her heart, making her heart ache with a chill.
