The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Fu Rongxin got goosebumps all over her body... What does "everyone is here" mean? What on earth is Aunt Su going to do!

As if she had seen Fu Rongxin's confusion, Su Mian smiled ferociously with deep wrinkles on her brows, but her voice was full of tenderness: "Everyone thinks that my daughter is born lowly and is born to pave the way for you Fu family, but... she is like a pearl and a treasure in my heart. Even all of you can't compare to her!"

Her tears rolled down: "Today, I want all of you in the Fu family to pay for my daughter's life! I want you who claim to be noble to die because of a lowly person like me and my daughter who you have discarded like a piece of trash!"

"No..." Fu Rongxin felt cold all over, shaking like a sieve: "You can't do it..."

Su Mian just smiled and said, "I had drugged the water in the kitchen of the Fu residence. An incense stick ago, when the guards were having dinner, they were already unconscious. I guess most of the Fu family members have also passed out."

Fu Rongxin was so scared that she burst into tears. This time, she really felt the fear of death approaching inch by inch, making her feel deeply desperate. She trembled and said, "But...but if you kill us, you can't escape death! What's more, it was not my decision at that time, and I am innocent! You hand me over to King Cheng, and I can give you as much silver as you want! One hundred taels, one thousand taels, ten thousand taels, any amount is fine! Or you can name a number, and His Highness can guarantee that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life!"

But the last bit of smile on Su Mian's face disappeared: "What does money mean? You always think that money can buy people's lives. Your condescending attitude is really disgusting! Now that things have come to this, I have long been ready to accompany my daughter!"

Fu Rongxin no longer had any hope for Su Mian. She screamed and wanted to escape, but her weak limbs allowed her to crawl on the ground with difficulty.

"Someone...come here!"

Seeing her struggling to escape, Su Mian did not stop her, but just said faintly: "Listen, they are coming."

Fu Rongxin stopped screaming and only heard faint moans and cries for help between the clashing of swords outside the house, as well as the sticky sound of blood splattering.

Su Mian opened the door. Fu Rongxin was lying on the ground, and she could smell the blood. When she raised her eyes, everything in front of her seemed like hell on earth...

She saw that the Fu residence was already a river of blood. Not far away, staring at her was a head with its eyes open... Fu Wei's head still had an expression of fear on his face, just lying on the ground, staring in her direction.

"what--!"

Fu Rongxin's screams were so shrill that they seemed to tear her internal organs apart.

Some people were attracted by her screams and came over. They were a few masked men with bloody knives in their hands, bowing to Su Mian.

"Ten years ago, in order to seize the first opportunity in the market, old man Fu Wei raised the price and caused my brother's family of 18 to be buried in the river along with the cargo ship. Thanks to this lady for working with me inside and outside, I was able to avenge this blood feud. Although the lady is a member of the Fu family, we will not be implicated."

After that, he looked at Fu Rongxin lying on the ground and said, "As for the rest of the Fu family, I don't intend to let any of them go!"

"No! No..." Fu Rongxin said hurriedly: "I am not a member of the Fu family! You can't kill me! My husband is His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, you can take me to find him, you can get as much money as you want! Otherwise, if His Royal Highness investigates, he will definitely not let you go!"

The man stopped what he was doing: "King Cheng?"

"Yes! He is at the post station now!" Fu Rong was afraid that if she said it too late, the knife would cut her like it cut Fu Wei's neck.

The man's subordinate said, "Boss, Prince Cheng is indeed in Linzhou these days."

He looked suspicious and asked Su Mian who was silent beside him: "Is what she said true?"

Su Mian just said woodenly: "I don't know her relationship with Prince Cheng, but she is indeed Fu Wei's adopted daughter Fu Rongxin."

"Fu Rongxin?" The man sneered, "Who in Linzhou hasn't heard of Fu Rongxin's name? She was once the most famous talented woman in Linzhou, but later committed murder and was sentenced to death. I didn't expect that she is still alive and well here."

Fu Rongxin shook her head anxiously: "No... no..."

"Do you think I will listen to you and take you to find King Cheng?" The man laughed and said, "We are going to wipe out the entire Fu family tonight. Do we want to leave ourselves a handle? If I kill you, King Cheng will not let me go. If I leave you here, will King Cheng spare my life?"

The man looked at Fu Rongxin carefully. Such a look made her shudder, and she could only shrink back in despair.

"A living dead person, with no identity or official status, is very easy to deal with."

"What……"

Fu Rongxin didn't understand what they were going to do for a moment. In a moment, the man knocked her unconscious and had his men tie her up and take her away.

In the blood-soaked Fu's house, Su Mian was the only living person left. Looking at Fu Wei's angry head, she stepped on it and smiled slowly: "Daughter, mother has avenged you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed it into her neck without hesitation. Blood gushed out, her body went limp, and she fell to the ground. In the cold winter night, she felt as if she was disappearing bit by bit.

She was finally freed.

……

A night passed, and Prince Cheng did not wait for Fu Rongxin to return. Instead, on the next day, someone in the city found the Fu residence dead silent, with a strong smell of blood. After reporting to the authorities, the officials kicked the door, only to find that the entire Fu family had been wiped out overnight. Except for Fu Jiahui who married out and Fu Zixian who was exiled, no one in the family was spared.

Prince Cheng thought that Fu Rongxin was in danger, so he sent people to look for him, but there was no trace of him. If Fu Rongxin had not been so frail, he would have suspected that Fu Rongxin had killed the person.

But soon, he no longer cared about Fu Rongxin, because he received a secret report from the spies in Huajing: the emperor had secretly interrogated Zhao Shen and had already betrayed him. The emperor was furious and was ready to recall him to Huajing and execute him secretly.

Gu Shimin threw the secret letter, which was soaked with sweat from his palms, into the charcoal basin.

He didn't have much time left, and his spies were only one step ahead of his father's imperial edict. He had to reach Yuzhou before the edict was issued, because at least there would be an army there willing to obey his orders.

……

Huajing.

As winter deepened, Xue Zhiyi hung her hands over the charcoal basin, feeling the warmth, and another pair of big hands held her hands.

She raised her eyes and met Huo Wuyou's auspicious eyes looking at her.

"How do you always have the opportunity to enter the palace?"

"Your Majesty is probably getting old, and he hasn't been feeling well since winter. He's getting more and more anxious, so he often summons me to the palace. Not only me, but also Brother Jiang and Qing Wei. When I enter the palace, I naturally have to pay my respects to my grandmother. My grandmother knows that I want to see you the most, so she let me go to find you after just a few words." Huo Wuyou pouted: "Why, don't you want to see me? After we get married, we'll have to be together day and night."

After glaring at him, Xue Zhiyi did not shake off his hand, but continued to let him hold it.

"Seriously, did you really let someone pass on the news that 'His Majesty wants to kill Prince Cheng' to Gu Shimin's ears?"

At this point, Huo Wuyou's smile deepened with unknown meaning, and he lowered his eyes to look at the burning charcoal fire: "After Chunfeng Tower was investigated, Prince Cheng arranged a new hidden agent. Brother Jiang accidentally got the clue about the new hidden agent."

Jiang Xu told Xue Zhiyi about this matter, and Xue Zhiyi told Huo Wuyou about it.

Huo Wuyou continued, "Using these clues, I have tricked Zhao Shen into revealing the full details of the secret agent. Through the secret agent, I have spread this rumor to Prince Cheng. Even if he only believes it a little, it is enough to make him lose his temper. People who lose their temper will definitely make a big mistake."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Xue Zhiyi: "I know this is very risky, but your Majesty's health is deteriorating, and we have no time to delay."

Xue Zhiyi just nodded: "I understand."

Their current situation seems to be going smoothly, but no matter whether Prince Sheng or Prince Gong ascends the throne, they will probably face unbearable consequences. They must completely cut off the possibility of these two people succeeding to the throne before the throne is changed.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and outside the door, Chai Yue said anxiously: "My Lord, the Queen Mother has sent for you!"

Huo Wuyou and Xue Zhiyi looked at each other, then opened the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chai Yue looked solemn and anxious: "Your Majesty is seriously ill. He just fainted and is unconscious!"
