The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

"But I also said that I am not a worthy person."

As soon as Xue Zhiyi finished speaking, Huo Wuyou's pupils trembled slightly.

After a moment, he said, "Whether it's worth it or not, your opinion alone doesn't count."

He just looked at Xue Zhiyi calmly, but his beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with stubbornness.

Xue Zhiyi's heart felt so blocked, as if something was twisting it, and the voice in his throat also became a little sour and weak: "Why do you have to treat me so well?"

Huo Wuyou pursed his lips and just stared at her for a moment. Then, he said seriously and firmly: "Because you should have been treated well. If it wasn't me, someone else would have. It's just that I happened to meet you in my destiny."

Xue Zhiyi was stunned. Immediately, her nose felt sore and she quickly turned her eyes away from him.

He gritted his teeth and forced himself to hold back the bitterness in his eyes.

She leaned on her knees, half curled up, and said nothing.

The two of them sat there quietly until Huo Wuyou spoke first: "I'm not telling you this to embarrass you, I just want to tell you that you don't have to put yourself in danger. At worst..."

He sighed and smiled: "At worst, I'm still here."

The voice fell gently into Xue Zhiyi's ears, and he could only clutch his clothes unconsciously. Something in his chest seemed to be softly crumpled.

Half of her face was buried in her arms, and her sleeves quietly absorbed the tears that she seemed to be unaware of.

But suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared silently in front of her, which frightened her.

"Are you crying?" Huo Wuyou leaned his head to look at her.

Xue Zhiyi was at a loss for a moment, as if he had been caught, and subconsciously pushed him away: "Huo Wuyou!"

But the man in front of her couldn't help laughing after being yelled at. He held the edge of the bed and looked at her, with a playful smile in his eyes but a soft one.

"You know what? This is the first time you called my name."

Xue Zhiyi glared at him sideways, but he couldn't get angry for the moment. Instead, he couldn't help but burst out laughing as their eyes met.

When she smiled, Huo Wuyou felt his heartbeat like a plucked string, causing ripples.

After calming down a bit, Xue Zhiyi felt that he had to find another topic to talk about. Otherwise, if he continued to let this overly ambiguous atmosphere ferment, it might not end well.

She leaned back on the soft pillow: "Marquis of Lin'an."

"Ok?"

Xue Zhiyi said: "No matter what, today's matter has been done. With Gu Shichong's trust in the future, it will be much easier for us to act. I believe that it will be just a matter of time before we find out the real culprit of the Yueling Pass tragedy."

Huo Wuyou also put away his previous expression. He tilted his head and said, "Actually, I'm curious about one thing."

Xue Zhiyi smiled: "Oh?"

His eyes narrowed slightly. "It's obvious that I have a grudge against Gu Shichong. What deep hatred do you have against him that's worth risking your life for?"

Xue Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat and he just lowered his eyes silently.

She would never tell anyone about her rebirth, even if she was beaten to death. She didn't want Huo Wuyou to think of her as a female ghost.

But Huo Wuyou seemed to see that she was in trouble, and said, "It doesn't matter, you can tell me when you want to. Now I will assume that you have an irreconcilable hatred for him, and I will not be soft-hearted when I act, but there is one thing -"

That bright face turned serious: "Don't put yourself in danger again. If it happens again, I will take the same poison you took."

He acted like a spoiled brat and said, "At worst, I'll just give up my life."

Seeing that Xue Zhiyi didn't answer, he tapped her forehead again: "Do you remember?"

Xue Zhiyi held his forehead, suppressed his impatience, and said with a fake smile: "Marquis Lin'an should return to the main hall. That is where the Marquis will show his skills next."

But Huo Wuyou frowned and said, "Why don't you call me by my name? It seems that I am cuter when I am angry."

Xue Zhiyi endured it again and again, but the look in his eyes became more and more angry when he looked at him.

Huo Wuyou then stood up tactfully: "Okay, okay, I'll leave right away, I'll leave right away..."

Seeing Huo Wuyou closing the door with a playful smile, Xue Zhiyi's body softened and he leaned back on the soft pillow.

After taking an antidote, she felt much better. The feeling of cracking in her throat and nausea in her stomach had finally dissipated for the most part. However, after all this ordeal, she felt extremely weak and tired all over.

Huo Wuyou's words still echoed in her mind.

At the beginning, she did use her affection to win him over, but the reason they have been able to cooperate until now is ultimately based on interests.

only……

No one had ever told her that she, Xue Zhiyi, deserved sincerity and kindness.

Perhaps it was because Huo Wuyou had parents, brothers, and a grandmother who loved him since childhood, so he was never like her, and he didn't even dare to think about being loved wholeheartedly by someone.

He is loved as he deserves, so he thinks it is natural to be sincere to another person, which is why he shows such enthusiasm and sincerity.

She stroked her heart gently.

She admitted that her heart, as calm as a dead body of water, was stirred by the stone thrown by Huo Wuyou, but it would still take more time for her to truly accept someone.

……

main hall.

When Huo Wuyou arrived, Lan Ying was already kneeling in the hall, and the people from the Ye Ting Division had also arrived.

"I'm not a slave! I'm really not a slave!"

She was wronged and was crying and complaining.

Xue Zhiyi's words before he fainted made Prince Gong point his suspicion at Tu Lanying.

"The doctor has already tested it and found that the tea is highly poisonous. And you were the one who served this tea."

Lan Ying argued: "But Xue Zhiyi also touched it!"

"But the one who was supposed to serve tea was Xue Zhiyi, but you scalded her, so you got the opportunity to serve tea this time. Not only that, she was also poisoned." Gu Shichong said coldly.

According to Jingchun's confession, it was Tu Lanying who got the opportunity to serve tea because she scalded Xue Zhiyi.

As for what happened later, it must be that Xue Zhiyi saw Lan Ying poisoning again, so he hurried over to remind her.

Huo Wuyou entered the room, bowed to the Queen Mother, and then asked, "I wonder if the real murderer who dared to poison under Grandmother's nose has been caught?"

Prince Cheng Gu Shimin looked at the play and smiled: "It's right in front of Marquis Lin'an."

Seeing Huo Wuyou coming, Lan Ying turned to him for help: "My Lord... My Lord! It's really not me! It's all because of Xue Zhiyi! She did all the bad things and was punished by God. Even if she dies now, it's not my fault!"

Huo Wuyou did not answer her, but just sat down.

But Gu Shichong suddenly asked, "Wuyou, why didn't you go back to the main hall? Where did you go just now?"

Huo Wuyou remained calm and said, "Since the tea was poisoned, I asked the doctor to go to the tea room and check. As expected, the handle of the teapot was also poisoned. I think the hands of the real murderer must have been stained with poison as well. Let the doctor check it too, wouldn't it be clear?"

Xue Zhiyi was really a wicked man. He had already smeared the poison on his hands, and took the opportunity to rub it on the handle of the pot, so that Lan Ying was infected with it silently.

As the biggest victim of today's poisoning, only Xue Zhiyi would not be suspected.

Lan Ying is miserable, but she will have to pay for all the times she framed others.
