The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Looking at Fu Ling's grief-stricken face, Xue Zhiyi actually found it a little funny.

This man in front of her was poisonous to the bone, this evil man who wanted to sacrifice her life, her flesh and blood to feed his family of vicious people, could actually accuse her of being vicious with such certainty.

It seems that there are still many shameless people in this world.

Suddenly, Xue Zhiyi raised his eyebrows, and there was no sadness or joy in his dark eyes, but it was so faint that it startled Fu Ling's heart.

"Mother, are you talking about what happened in the garden today?"

Fu Ling was unwilling to admit that she felt guilty because of Xue Zhiyi's look, but instead became even more angry: "You don't even think about repentance, you really are..."

"Mother, do you really not know who put that dried persimmon on the table?"

Hearing this, Fu Ling was stunned.

Under the dim candlelight, Xue Zhiyi looked directly into her eyes without hesitation and so frankly.

Such questioning made her even more angry and embarrassed: "What do you mean! Questioning your mother like this, whose upbringing is this, whose rules are these!"

Xue Zhiyi was kneeling, feeling as if something was blocking his chest and making him feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, fortunately she has seen through Fu Ling's true face and no longer tries to gain any affection from her.

She looked at the frustrated Fu Ling, who looked like a ridiculous clown, and seemed to see her own ridiculous past life.

How could she be deceived by such a person?

"It's obvious that Fu Rongxin had someone bring the dried persimmons to the table, because we all had sea bass for lunch, but Jiahui and Jiamin were just unlucky. Mother is interrogating me like this, why doesn't she interrogate Fu Rongxin, the culprit?"

When saying this, Xue Zhiyi remained calm and composed.

But the calmer Xue Zhiyi was, the angrier Fu Ling became. She stood up with her slender fingers extended, pointing at Xue Zhiyi angrily, her trembling fingers making the string of bodhi seeds in her hand rustle: "You..."

"Or in my mother's eyes, I should bear the responsibility for Fu Rongxin's mistakes? No matter what she wants to do to me, even if it means taking my life, I should bear it obediently. If I have any intention of resisting, I will touch my mother's reverse scale, right? Then what am I?"

Xue Zhiyi sneered sarcastically: "Her puppet?"

As soon as these words came out, Fu Ling's face turned pale almost instantly. She was speechless for a moment, and she cursed at the top of her voice: "You are a traitor!"

Fu Ling's breathing fluctuated, and there was no trace of his usual compassionate demeanor. It seemed as if he was about to faint from anger in the next moment.

After saying this, Xue Zhiyi himself was stunned for a moment.

These words almost came out of my mouth, as if the grievances accumulated in two lifetimes could no longer be suppressed in this moment.

But once the words are spoken, it is difficult to take them back.

She didn't think Fu Ling would guess that she already knew her life experience. After all, the only ones who knew the truth were Xue Zhentong, Fu Ling, Fu Rongxin, and Fu Wei. None of the four of them had any reason to tell her the truth, so she naturally had no way of knowing it.

Xue Zhiyi calmed down a little after taking a deep breath, but perhaps because he felt guilty, Fu Ling was extremely excited.

“Xue Zhiyi!” Her eyes were red, and she pointed at Xue Zhiyi with trembling fingers: “You evil creature with a ruthless heart! How could I have a daughter like you who is disobedient and unfilial! It is really a misfortune for our family to raise you to be like this!”

How did I become your daughter? Don’t you know what’s going on?

Xue Zhiyi thought so.

"Is it a misfortune for our family?" Xue Zhiyi looked at her steadily: "Mother, do you know that my elder sister almost ate that persimmon cake today? She is also your biological daughter..."

"What does this have to do with you!?"

Before he finished speaking, Xue Zhiyi felt his face burning hot, and then a stinging pain like a needle prickling.

She was a little dazed...it was Fu Ling who hit her.

Fu Ling was also a little dazed, but she quickly calmed down and put on the attitude of a superior elder.

"Don't stare at me like that. I'm your mother. If I don't teach you well, I'll be failing in my duty as a mother. When have I ever been so harsh on your elder sister? Don't think I'm biased. After all, it's you who are not ambitious enough. You speak without restraint and don't act like a lady from a noble family at all!"

At this moment, the door of the main room was suddenly pushed open.

"Mom! What are you doing!?"

The moment Xue Zhiyi turned around, his eyes turned red without warning.

It’s Xue Ruoyu.

Looking at Xue Zhiyi, whose face still had red marks, she squatted beside her, regardless of the fact that she was pregnant, and touched the scar carefully and in disbelief, as if she was afraid to hurt Xue Zhiyi again.

Then, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Fu Ling in confusion: "Mom, what's wrong with you..."

Perhaps she didn't expect that she would be caught by her eldest daughter. Fu Ling was a little at a loss. She fiddled with her bracelet and tried to change the subject: "What are you doing here?"

"It's a rare opportunity for me to come back, so I want to talk to Zhiyi."

Xue Ruoyu's eyes were dim with shock. "I just didn't expect to see my mother so angry as soon as I arrived."

Fu Ling is different in front of Xue Ruoyu and Xue Zhiyi. In front of her biological daughter, she is always so kind and gentle, and her eyes are always full of appreciation and love when she looks at Xue Ruoyu.

Xue Ruoyu had probably never seen her mother like this before.

After a moment of silence, Fu Ling explained: "... Ruoyu, you get up first. Zhiyi is ignorant of etiquette today. If I don't teach him, it may cause disaster in the future."

Xue Ruoyu had no intention of getting up, but gently stroked Xue Zhiyi's head and let her lean on her shoulder.

"But I have heard about what happened today. My daughter thinks that Zhiyi did nothing wrong."

In the Xue family, the few genuine loves Xue Zhiyi received came from Xue Ruoyu.

She didn't cry when she was confronting Fu Ling just now, but now that she was leaning in her elder sister's arms, she felt aggrieved in her heart, her nose was sore, and she couldn't help but wet her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Fu Ling was stunned. Her eldest daughter had always been the most obedient, but today she refuted her for this bastard.

She asked Xue Ruoyu in disbelief: "Are you going to indulge her too?"

"It's telling the truth, not condoning."

Xue Ruoyu was extremely puzzled. Why did her most virtuous and considerate mother behave so abnormally today?

"I know that mother always loves cousin Rongxin, but Zhiyi is mother's daughter and my sister. Even if mother wants to protect Rongxin, this matter is not Zhiyi's fault. Why does mother let her suffer such injustice?"

Fu Ling sat back in the chair exhausted: "Don't say anything, I just scolded her a few words, I didn't do anything to her, let alone any grievances."

"Mother." Xue Ruoyu sighed slowly: "Mother, I saw everything that happened today. Zhiyi should not only not be punished, but should be rewarded."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ling wanted to say something, but Xue Ruoyu spoke first.

She explained: "Princess Anle drowned in our house. If Zhiyi hadn't rescued her, the Queen Mother and His Majesty would not have let the Xue family off easily. Zhiyi saved our entire family."

After that, she paused and said, "Not only that, Zhiyi stopped me from eating the persimmon cake, and saved your grandson's life."

"Wha...what?"

Fu Ling stood up suddenly, her steps were a little unsteady, she covered her chest and said, "Ruoyu, what do you mean? Are you saying that you... are pregnant?"
