The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Both the Tang family father and son were busy with official duties and had no time to meet Shen Qingtang and Shen Qingwei, so they could only be received by the two female relatives, Mrs. Tang and Xue Ruoyu.

Looking at Shen Qingtang, Xue Ruoyu said kindly, "I have heard about the younger sister of the Shen family since she was a young lady. After so many years, she has grown up so much."

After that, he introduced the mother and daughter of the Chai family who were also present today: "These two are the wife and daughter of the Jiangzhou prefectural governor Chai family."

The brother and sister also greeted them politely.

"Ms. Shen seldom comes to Jiangzhou, right?" Chai Yue asked.

Shen Qingtang was always warm to everyone, so he smiled and replied, "This is my first time here. In the past, I could only have the chance to see my father when he got the chance to return to Beijing to report on his work. Later, when my younger brother was old enough, he also went to Jiangzhou with my father to gain experience. He often wrote to me to tell me about Jiangzhou. I longed to see him, but I never had the chance."

Chai Yue put away her sarcastic and caustic nature for once and said warmly, "That's perfect. I grew up in Jiangzhou, so let me take Miss Shen to the market for a stroll, okay?"

"Today?" Shen Qingtang was a little embarrassed and just declined: "It's okay, it's the same as having my brother accompany me. How dare I trouble Miss Chai?"

What she was actually thinking was, now that there is a natural disaster and it is so chaotic outside, what is there to do?

Chai Yue still insisted: "General Shen has only been in Jiangzhou for a few years, so I'm afraid there are many interesting places that he doesn't know about. For example, although Jiangzhou has suffered a disaster at this time of year, people like us are different from ordinary people. We naturally have places to have fun. If Miss Shen is interested, I can show you the way."

Shen Qingtang frowned secretly. She didn't like Miss Chai's condescending tone, but her father specifically reminded her before she left the house not to offend others outside.

Thinking of this, he reluctantly said, "Thank you very much for your warm invitation, Miss Chai."

However, she immediately added, "By the way, I wonder if Miss Zhiyi, who came with the Dali Temple, is here? To be honest with you, Madam and Young Madam, when I was in Huajing, she and I were close friends. If possible, I would like to invite her to go with me."

If Zhiyi were to accompany her, she would at least feel less awkward when interacting with someone she didn't like.

For a moment, Xue Ruoyu's smile froze, and Mrs. Tang's eyes changed slightly, but soon, she showed a polite smile again and said to the maid beside her: "Go and invite them."

Shen Qingwei touched his sister's elbow and whispered, "Why are they laughing so strangely?"

Shen Qingtang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

When Xue Zhiyi was invited to the reception room, he learned that Shen Qingtang was going out for a walk with Chai Yue.

She could see that Chai Yue was not a good person, and she didn't think she would be a kind-hearted person. Maybe she just felt that the Shen family was highly valued, so she wanted to get close to the daughter of the Shen family.

If that were the case, it would be fine, but I'm afraid there are other considerations.

After agreeing to it, the servants went to prepare the car.

Madam Tang and Madam Chai did not go, and Xue Ruoyu was not feeling well and did not plan to go either, so only Chai Yue, Xue Zhiyi, and the Shen siblings went.

When they walked to the garden, a servant came hurriedly, saluted them, and said to Shen Qingwei: "General Shen, our master has something urgent to invite you, please move."

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi keenly sensed something wrong: "Are you Mr. Tang's man?"

The servant lowered his head and replied: "That's right, the young master has some official business to ask the general to come, but I'm afraid it can't be delayed."

"Did you say it was something urgent?"

The servant scratched his head and said, "This... I don't know. I only know that the young master gave an urgent order. Maybe it is related to the flood."

Seeing Xue Zhiyi asking too many questions, Chai Yue showed dissatisfaction: "My cousin must have important things to do when he is looking for General Shen. Why should others ask about it?"

Although Shen Qingwei didn't understand what was going on, when she heard that it involved a flood, she lost interest in playing: "What's going on? I'll go and find out."

But she still couldn't help but worry about Shen Qingtang: "Sister, I'm not with you, you must be careful, this place is not like Huajing, there are many refugees outside now, you must not go to those remote places."

Seeing this, Chai Yue took Shen Qingtang's arm and pretended to be intimate: "Don't worry, General Shen, we have guards with us. Leave your sister to me, I will let her have fun and I will send her back in one piece."

Shen Qingtang also patted him: "Go ahead, I can take care of myself."

Having said this, Xue Zhiyi did not try to persuade her any further. He just looked at the direction Shen Qingwei left. Then he retracted his gaze, only to be met with Chai Yue's disgusted eyes.

"Before you speak, you still have to understand your own identity, otherwise you will just annoy others for nothing, right?"

Even if Shen Qingtang was deaf, she could hear the sharpness in these words. She just smiled and said, "Miss Chai, let's go. Don't waste time."

As she spoke, she jogged briskly, naturally pulled her arm away from Chai Yue's hand, and took Xue Zhiyi's hand, leaving Chai Yue a few steps behind her.

"Let's go!"

But before he had taken a few steps, Shen Qingtang suddenly stopped.

Following her gaze, I saw Jiang Xu standing next to the moon-shaped gate not far away. I don't know what he was thinking about, and he looked absent-minded at the moment.

Xue Zhiyi didn't understand why Shen Qingtang looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy when facing Jiang Xu. He pulled her and turned an abrupt corner: "Come on, let's go another way..."

But Jiang Xu saw them and took the initiative to come forward and greet them.

For some reason, Xue Zhiyi felt that Jiang Xu's expression was strange, just like that day when he seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"I wonder if Lord Jiang has anything to say?" Xue Zhiyi asked.

"He didn't!" Shen Qingtang beside him almost screamed.

Xue Zhiyi was startled. The speed at which Shen Qingtang answered made her wonder for a moment whether Shen Qingtang had been possessed by Huo Wuyou.

Glancing at Jiang Xu again, Xue Zhiyi said, "Miss Chai invited Miss Shen and I to go shopping in the market. Since Lord Jiang hasn't thought about what to say yet, we'll go ahead."

After she said that, she just nodded and prepared to leave.

"Wait..." Jiang Xu wanted to say something.

Xue Zhiyi just looked at him questioningly.

Seeing Jiang Xu hesitating, Chai Yue looked a little anxious. She glanced in the direction Shen Qingwei left and felt more and more uneasy.

She looked enthusiastic: "Master Jiang, this is also your first time in Jiangzhou, right? In this case, the Chai family should do their best to be a good host. It would be great if Master Jiang could come with us. What do you think?"

Xue Zhiyi turned around and looked at Chai Yue's expression carefully: "Don't worry, Miss Chai, Master Jiang hasn't finished speaking yet."

Chai Yue defended herself: "Who is anxious? I just think that since we have met, it would be rude if I didn't invite him."

Xue Zhiyi let out a long sigh, "So that's the reason. I thought Miss Chai was worried that General Shen would finish his business and rush back to leave with us."

Chai Yue was a person who could not keep her cool. Even though she was much older than Xue Zhiyi and the others, she still had the arrogance she had developed since childhood. When Xue Zhiyi revealed her secrets, she became angry and said, "Xue Zhiyi, why are you meddling in other people's business? When are the masters talking? When is it your turn as a servant to interrupt!"

Hearing this, Shen Qingtang was about to explode, but was suppressed by Xue Zhiyi.

She just smiled and asked Chai Yue: "Slave?"

Chai Yue sneered: "You are still a slave no matter where you are. Don't forget your status."

Xue Zhiyi nodded in agreement: "Miss Chai's reminder is correct. Zhiyi never dares to forget his identity, let alone his job. Speaking of this, Miss Chai reminded me that when I was a servant, I had a friend. This friend and Miss Chai's maiden name are really a bit of fate..."

"Xue Zhiyi!"

Before she finished speaking, no one expected that Jiang Xu would suddenly stop her.

Xue Zhiyi looked over and saw that Jiang Xu's expression had changed a long time ago. At this moment, he looked anxious, as if he was eager to stop Xue Zhiyi from saying the next words.

She could only sneer inwardly: Sure enough, Jiang Xu and Chai Yue in the palace are in the same group. At this moment, the maintenance area is very anxious.
