The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

The two of them slowly approached each other, trying to breathe each other's breath, but at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The two were stunned and the charming atmosphere was broken in an instant. Before Xue Zhiyi could react, Huo Wuyou gritted his teeth and went to open the door. He moved so quickly that the door panel made a loud bang.

Xue Zhiyi secretly worried about the person knocking on the door.

But when she opened the door, she saw that the person coming was Jiang Xu. What could Jiang Xu want from her?

Seeing that it was Huo Wuyou who opened the door, Jiang Xu was also stunned, and his hand that was knocking on the door hung in mid-air.

Before he could even open his mouth, Huo Wuyou laughed out of anger and asked him sincerely, "Jiang Xu, are you sick?"

Jiang Xu was stunned by the scolding. Soon, he reacted and inexplicably became angry: "Why is the Marquis of Lin'an here?"

"What does it have to do with you where I am!"

Seeing him so confident, Jiang Xu felt a little upset. He said, "Ms. Xue is an unmarried woman. If she knew that you had entered her room without permission..."

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Xue Zhiyi, who was also in the room behind Huo Wuyou, and was instantly speechless.

Huo Wuyou was puzzled as to what was wrong with Jiang Xu. He was already very angry, and now he looked at Jiang Xu with even more displeasure: "What's wrong with you? What do you want to do? You still care about us? Are you going to arrest me and throw me into the pig cage next?"

Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Xue Zhiyi wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but he saw that Jiang Xu had a dark face, but he was still more careful about his manners than Huo Wuyou. He took a deep breath and said, "I have something to tell Miss Xue. I hope the Marquis of Lin'an will not interfere."

Unexpectedly, as soon as this sentence came out, Huo Wuyou became even more murderous: "She doesn't want to see you! Do you know each other well?"

"You..." Jiang Xu was about to say something but stopped. His upbringing prevented him from doing anything out of line, but he was so angry that he could only stare at Huo Wuyou with his face flushed with anger: "May I ask what this has to do with the Marquis of Lin'an?"

Huo Wuyou was already angry, and now he was acting even more shameless: "How can it have nothing to do with me? Get out of here before I do anything!"

Seeing the two of them on the verge of a fight, Xue Zhiyi pulled Huo Wuyou's sleeve and gave Jiang Xu a polite smile: "My Lord Jiang, please forgive me for making fun of you. Let's discuss it another day."

"Someday? Even someday won't work!"

Huo Wuyou still refused to give in, but Xue Zhiyi just kept smiling and twisted his waist hard from behind, forcing him to shut up.

Jiang Xu didn't know why, but he also started to meddle in other people's business: "Miss Xue, please forgive me for being frank, but it's really not appropriate to get too close to this kind of person, otherwise if it gets out..."

"Jiang Xu, are you...hiss!" Huo Wuyou wanted to curse, but his lower back was twisted even harder.

Jiang Xu was scolded for no reason. After hearing those words, he just left in anger.

Huo Wuyou was still staring in the direction where Jiang Xu left, completely unaware of Xue Zhiyi's extremely disgusted look beside him.

Just as he was about to curse a few more times, he felt his back tighten, and Xue Zhiyi pushed him out the door mercilessly.

When I turned around again, the door had been slammed shut by Xue Zhiyi and bolted.

"Zhiyi? Zhiyi!"

He was actually kicked out.

……

The next day.

Huo Wuyou fell ill without any warning. Sui Yunlang said that he had caught a severe cold and needed to rest indoors without any exposure to the wind, just like he was in confinement after giving birth.

Jiang Xu originally wanted to take the opportunity to look for Xue Zhiyi again. He really had some very important things that he had been holding in his heart for a long time, and he wanted to find Xue Zhiyi to ask them clearly.

But they all lived in the same yard, and they were afraid that the noise of their conversations might cause Huo Wuyou to sit up in shock from his dying illness. If the cold got worse, he might die in Jiangzhou, which would be troublesome.

Walking in the garden of the Tang Mansion, Jiang Xu was feeling worried when he seemed to hear someone talking.

I saw two maids, seemingly bringing someone with them, coming out of the Chuihua Gate.

A young girl with a bright smile came towards me. She was wearing a goose yellow shirt and a willow green skirt. Beside her was a tall boy who was a few years younger than her.

They were the brother and sister Shen Qingtang and Shen Qingwei.

Shen Qingtang still remembered that it was Jiang Xu who covered for her that day. When she saw him, she took the initiative to greet him.

She explained, "We encountered bad guys on the mountain road that day. Thanks to Master Tang's timely arrival, my father wanted my brother to come with me to visit so that we could thank him for what happened that day. It just so happens that I also want to come and see Zhiyi."

Speaking of Xue Zhiyi, Jiang Xu suddenly thought: Shen Qingtang and Xue Zhiyi seem to have a very good relationship. Maybe there are some things that are the same when asking Shen Qingtang.

He hesitated, but still spoke: "Ms. Shen, Jiang has an unwelcome request. May I ask you to come and talk to me?"

Shen Qingtang was puzzled and looked at Shen Qingwei.

Shen Qingwei asked, "Master Jiang, what do you mean? Is there anything you want to discuss with my sister in private?"

Jiang Xu looked embarrassed and he didn't know how to explain this matter.

However, Shen Qingtang, still remembering the help he received that day, agreed to Jiang Xu's request and asked Shen Qingwei to walk a few steps away, keeping a distance where Shen Qingwei could not hear clearly but still be under their eyes.

"Master Jiang, please tell me what you want to say."

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xu said: "About Miss Xue..."

When Shen Qingtang heard Xue Zhiyi's name, she was stunned. At the same time, there was a sense of loss in her heart that she herself did not realize.

"I wonder if Miss Shen knows Miss Xue's exact birthday? The more detailed the better."

"Why are you asking this?" She narrowed her eyes in confusion.

Jiang Xu continued to ask: "Also, does she have anything she particularly likes? Do you know?"

Shen Qingtang looked at him incredulously: "You can't be..."

Then, she quickly refused: "No, you can't ask these questions!"

Zhiyi already has the Marquis of Lin'an, so no one else can be allowed to come between them.

"No no no..."

Jiang Xu quickly denied it, and his speech became incoherent, but he was still unwilling to give up, and asked again: "I wonder if Miss Xue has ever mentioned to you that she has any birthmarks or other characteristics?"

Shen Qingtang's eyes widened. Before asking this question, she thought Jiang Xu was just interested in Zhiyi, so he wanted to ask her about Zhiyi's birthday and preferences. But now after hearing this question, she felt that Jiang Xu was completely sick.

She was displeased, and said with a firm look: "Master Jiang, these are Zhiyi's private matters. I will not tell you, and you shouldn't ask. Excuse me, if a person's character is low, it is useless even if he has talent and knowledge."

After saying that, she looked him up and down with disdain on her face, then turned around, as if to avoid him, and dragged Shen Qingwei away.

He was a very good-looking top scholar, but he was mentally ill.

Shen Qingwei looked back at Jiang Xu several times, and then asked Shen Qingtang softly: "Sister, what did he want to see you about?"

"Don't ask, and don't associate with him in the future, got it?"

Shen Qingwei was puzzled: "I thought... I thought he was interested in you, so he came to talk to you."

As if hearing something terrible, Shen Qingtang covered his ears: "Shut up!"
