The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

"Mother Liu."

Before Fu Ling could speak, Xue Zhiyi asked her, "Do you know what you did wrong today?"

The cook, Madam Liu, lost her momentum as she did in the kitchen. She knelt down without knowing why. “Your servant… Your servant is terrified. Please let Miss San tell you clearly.”

Xue Zhiyi sighed in grievance: "The dishes for today's banquet were planned a few days ago. Why did you add dishes without permission?"

Madam Liu was already sweating profusely: "I am innocent, Third Miss. I also understand the rules of the mansion. How dare I act on my own!"

"Zhi Yi..." Fu Rongxin's forehead was covered with sweat. "Let's just forget it. Just think that it was an unintentional mistake by Madam Liu. Don't blame her."

Mother Liu looked up and saw Fu Rongxin who was speaking carefully for her, and her tears were about to flow.

My cousin is truly a fairy from heaven!

But Fu Jiamin was the first to disagree after hearing this: "Fu Rongxin, you are not the one who got hurt by eating too much, why are you doing something generous to others?"

Fu Rong's heart choked.

Xue Zhiyi patted the back of Fu Rongxin's hand and said in a soothing manner: "Rongxin, don't be afraid. I will definitely give the Fu family an explanation."

After that, she asked Mama Liu again: "If it wasn't someone who made the decision on his own, then it was Mama Liu who was careless and made the wrong dish. Otherwise, how did this persimmon cake get served?"

"Persimmon cake?" Madam Liu cried out in humiliation, "Miss Third, you are so forgetful. It was clearly Miss Third's order that the persimmon cake be added. Otherwise, how could this servant dare to make such a decision?"

As she spoke, she looked around and saw Ying'er, although she had her head down, she was still spotted by the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared Madam Liu: "The Third Miss sent that girl here to give you instructions."

Everyone looked over and saw Ying'er trembling and looking at Fu Rongxin for help.

Xue Zhiyi was filled with astonishment: "Ying'er? But when did I ask you to go and give orders? Even if I had to go, I should have sent Qiuyun and Suyue..."

Suddenly, she froze again and looked at Fu Rongxin beside her in disbelief: "Rongxin, what's going on?"

Fu Rongxin's teeth were about to break. What was the point of Xue Zhiyi, this little bitch, pretending to be so pretentious! It turned out that he had lived a new life and had gained a lot of wisdom out of thin air.

Having said that, Fu Rongxin, whose acting skills have been superb in both her lifetimes, has not reached the point where she can no longer act.

Her clear eyes were filled with confusion and grievance: "Zhiyi believed what others said so easily, and suspected that I did it on purpose?"

Others might be fooled by this, but Fu Jiamin couldn't stand her temper for a moment: "What a good you! I was wondering why my elder sister and I were the only ones in trouble. It turned out to be you! I knew you had bad intentions and were always trying to hurt me!"

Fu Jiahui, who was beside her, was used to speaking in a pretentious manner. She wanted to take advantage of the wedding banquet to leave a good impression in front of the ladies from official families. Although she hated Fu Rongxin in her heart, she felt that her sister Fu Jiamin was extremely embarrassing.

On the other side, Fu Ling, who had reacted, didn't even have time to care about Fu Jiamin who was yelling at her Rong Xin. She immediately questioned Liu's mother: "Do you know why you are committing such a random accusation?!"

Mother Liu was a cook on weekdays, and she had only known how to cook all her life. How could she have suffered such an inexplicable injustice? Tears immediately fell: "I am innocent! There were countless witnesses in the kitchen at that time, so how could I be allowed to say such nonsense? Qiuyun was also there at the time!"

Hearing this, Qiu Yun knelt down, her face showing embarrassment, "Madam, I was following the young lady's instructions to get the food, and I did run into Ying'er who was lost in the kitchen. As for what was said before, I really don't know, but I think someone else heard it."

At this time, there were also some small discussions around, all pointing at Ying'er.

After all, at that time, many people saw with their own eyes that the persimmon cake was brought by Ying'er, and she was the one who tried to destroy it secretly during the investigation.

"Ying'er."

Fu Rongxin's hands were shaking under her sleeves, but there was still a look of grievance on her face. She was born gentle and charming, and this made her look even softer like a pool of spring water.

"You need to explain clearly what happened today. Who allowed you to act in Zhiyi's name? If you caused a rift between Zhiyi and me, I will never forgive you!"

Looking into Fu Rongxin's eyes, the aggrieved look on her face made Ying'er feel uneasy. Others might not know Fu Rongxin's true nature, but as her personal maid, she knew it best.

She gritted her teeth and made up her mind: "This servant... This servant was sent by the Third Young Lady. As for why the Third Young Lady didn't order others around, this servant doesn't know..."

Xue Zhiyi asked her back, "You mean, I deliberately asked you to convey my orders so that I could take the opportunity to frame Rong Xin, right?"

Ying'er bit her lip and remained silent for a moment before she said, "I didn't lie."

"Very good." Xue Zhiyi smiled slightly: "Since you are so sure, please answer a few questions for me. If you can't answer, I will have to report to the police for punishment."

Ying'er was stunned, sweat immediately covering her forehead. She looked to Fu Rongxin for help again, but was met with a cold light in her eyes.

Ying'er remained silent.

Seeing this, Xue Zhiyi asked her, "Then Ying'er, may I ask when and where I spoke to you, and what did I say? And did I promise you any benefits?"

She narrowed her eyes and said, "I stayed at the table until this dried persimmon cake was served."

"Slave...slave..."

Ying'er was already trembling all over. Under Xue Zhiyi's questioning, she finally couldn't hold it in any longer and broke down crying, "I was greedy and wanted to ask for some persimmon cakes in the name of the Third Young Lady, but I didn't expect Qiuyun to find out. I had no choice but to go to the table and bring trouble to myself..."

She kowtowed desperately: "I won't dare to do it again! Never again! Please don't report it to the police, Miss Third!"

Facing Ying'er's confession, Fu Rongxin breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately put on an angry expression: "Ying'er, when have I ever treated you unfairly? Why did you do such a shameless thing! How can I live with myself after you leave me!"

Fu Jiamin was relentless: "It's better to sell this bitch off, but before selling her off, she should be severely tortured to teach this dishonest girl to tell the truth!"

Xue Zhiyi couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Such a loyal servant must have helped Fu Rongxin to do so many things in his previous life.

She thought so in her heart, but her face was still concerned: "Rongxin, no one will blame you, but out of caution, you should deal with Ying'er properly, otherwise, I'm afraid that my sister will be implicated for nothing."

"Zhi Yi!"

How could Fu Ling not see what Fu Rongxin was thinking? Seeing that Xue Zhiyi was still going to pursue the matter, she immediately stopped him, "Shut up!"

Xue Zhiyi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Fu Ling to favor Fu Rongxin in public.

Fu Ling was seen pinching the bodhi bead bracelet, making a clattering sound: "The matter has been settled, do you still want to embarrass your cousin?"

Although she calls her cousin, Fu Ling almost subconsciously uses half of her shoulder to shield Fu Rongxin behind her, like protecting her own child. It can be said that the mother and daughter have a deep affection.

"Mother, I just want to clear my cousin's name. As Prince Gong said, I don't want this to be unclear and cause rumors to spread."

"Severe interrogation can get any answer you need, but now you want to interrogate the people around your cousin like this. What exactly do you want to achieve?" Fu Ling's tone was calm, but his eyes were frighteningly cold.

"You know whether you have good intentions or not."

Behind Fu Ling, Fu Rongxin was also stunned for a moment. Then, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Xue Zhiyi, with a hint of provocation on her pitiful face.

Yes, what is there to be afraid of? Her mother still has the final say in this family. As long as her parents are there, what can Xue Zhiyi, a lowly orphan, do to her?

Although he no longer had any hope in Fu Ling, Xue Zhiyi's heart still ached for a moment.

The people present were not fools, and were not surprised by the secrets in the rear house. The relationship between the Fu sisters was visibly bad. Fu Rongxin did have reasons to harm Fu Jiamin and Fu Jiahui, and what Ying'er said was so far-fetched.

And even if it was true as Ying'er said, it was also because Fu Rongxin was not self-disciplined enough. It could not be said that Xue Zhiyi was making things difficult for Fu Rongxin.

Besides, how could a mother put a label on her own daughter in public like this? And for the sake of a niece.

Fu Ling's partiality is a little too obvious.

This was probably the first time that Fu Ling, who had pretended to be a loving mother for many years, revealed her flaws in front of others.
