The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Ge Yuanhui only wanted to hurt Xue Zhiyi, but he didn't expect Lin'an Hou to suddenly intervene...

If Xue Zhiyi was the only one injured, she would have her own way to cover it up, but Huo Wuyou was not someone who could be fooled so easily.

Such an accident happened, but when Xue Zhiyi came back, the people at the poetry party had not yet dispersed.

Everyone heard that Marquis Lin'an had already verified the cause of the accident, so they were all waiting for the outcome.

When she sat down next to Shen Qingtang, she saw Shen Qingtang with his head down in a trance, and he didn't even notice that Xue Zhiyi had returned.

"Qingtang, what's wrong with you?" Xue Zhiyi asked.

Shen Qingtang suddenly looked up at her, his eyes reddened, and he quickly avoided her gaze and shook his head: "No..."

Huo Wuyou glanced at Xue Zhiyi from a distance, and after calming down, this time, there was no trace of unnaturalness on his face.

Thinking of the analysis he had just heard outside Xue Zhiyi's window, Huo Wuyou picked up a piece of colored glass and said, "The colored glass was buried in the charcoal fire. When it burned to a certain degree, the colored glass would explode. However, this unique blue colored glass was not produced in the Central Plains, but from the Western Regions."

As he spoke, he looked at Fu Rongxin, which made her heart tremble.

"As far as I know, the caravans of Fu's Trading Company in Linzhou travel back and forth between Dayong and the Western Regions all year round, and they bring back many rare treasures from the Western Regions. I think they are not short of such things."

Fu Rongxin thought Xue Zhiyi was doomed to fail this time, but she didn't expect such a change to happen... Facing Huo Wuyou's scrutiny, she trembled in her heart: "My Lord, Fu's Company is not the only one doing business in the Western Regions..."

"Really?" Huo Wuyou sat idly. "Every year, all the merchants are recorded in the Honglu Temple. But I just sent someone to ask the Honglu Temple. There are currently no merchants of French blue glass in Dayong."

He smiled and said, "Not only that, according to the laws of Dayong, any trader from a vassal state must apply for a certificate and submit a quotation before going out to trade. The Fu's Company in Linzhou submitted a quotation to the Honglu Temple half a year ago, which included the French blue glass beads. Unfortunately, this quotation has not yet been approved."

Seeing Fu Rongxin's increasingly guilty face, Huo Wuyou said, "That is to say, the French blue colored glass has not yet entered the market in Dayong, and others can't buy it at all. Only the people of Fu's Trading Company can bring back a few pieces for appreciation."

"I……"

Fu Rongxin was filled with hatred. Everything was going well, and Xue Zhiyi hadn't noticed it, but some Lin'an Marquis came and interfered! Fortunately, Huo Wuyou didn't live for more than two years. Thinking of his tragic death two years later, Fu Rongxin felt a little relieved.

Although she thought so in her heart, she naturally would not show her resentment on her face. She still looked aggrieved and pitiful, unable to defend herself.

Seeing this, Huo Wuyou still smiled slightly: "If Miss Fu has any objections, you can report to the police."

Upon hearing this, Fu Rongxin's heart hardened: Anyway, she wasn't the one doing the action, so what did she have to be afraid of!

Fu Rongxin said timidly, "My Lord, you have a keen eye. This string of beads... is indeed from the Fu Company."

Immediately, everyone was shocked: So this merchant girl is really so bold as to do such a wicked thing that hurts others! ?

Thinking of Huo Wuyou's injury, Huo Zhiyu was immediately furious: "How dare you make trouble at this princess's banquet and hurt my second brother? You must be punished!"

Even Shen Qingtang didn't care about sulking anymore: "Fu Rongxin, are you crazy? Zhiyi is your cousin!"

Zhao Lian also sneered: "Look, I've already said it, the merchant family is lowly, how can a merchant woman have a good heart?"

Among the crowd, only Ge Yuanhui's expression became increasingly ugly: somehow, she had a bad feeling...

As expected, Fu Rongxin fell to her knees with a thud: "Rongxin is innocent! Rongxin did have such a string of beads, but Rongxin had already given it to Miss Ge. I don't know how it ended up in the charcoal basin!"

"Miss Ge...Miss Ge?" Zhao Lian was a little hesitant: "Are you talking nonsense? How could she be Miss Ge?"

How could such a vile thing be done by Ge Yuanhui, the most noble, generous, considerate and flawless person?

"That's right, you're talking nonsense, right? Miss Ge is a very kind person. She opens a porridge shop every year to help the poor. She wouldn't even step on a bug to death. How could she possibly hurt someone?"

Facing the discussions and scrutiny of the crowd, Ge Yuanhui felt like a thorn in the back, but fortunately, that bright face remained decent.

"Ms. Fu, when have you ever given me any glass beads?"

When Fu Rongxin gave her the pearls, no one saw it. Moreover, she was well-known in Huajing. As long as she denied it, who would suspect her?

But she didn't expect Fu Rongxin to have a backup plan. Upon hearing this, she didn't change her pitiful look: "The perfume powder Rongxin used today is also from the Western Regions. Its scent lingers for a long time. I think the glass beads were accidentally stained with it. If Miss Ge took the beads, there might be the smell of perfume powder on her dress... I just don't know if Miss Ge is willing to test it..."

Hearing this, Ge Yuanhui's face turned pale.

"The Marquis of Lin'an, the Princess, and Yuan Hui have known each other since childhood. Do you really want to have someone check my clothes because of someone else's frame-up?"

Ge Yuanhui seemed to have suffered some great humiliation. His lips trembled slightly and he looked at Huo Wuyou with increasingly aggrieved eyes.

Unfortunately, Huo Wuyou had just been teased by Xue Zhiyi, and now he felt annoyed when he saw someone pretending to be innocent towards him.

Huo Zhiyu was a little hesitant, after all, she had called Sister Yuan Hui for so many years...

But Fu Rongxin said, "If Miss Ge feels there is any problem, Rongxin is willing to report it to the authorities."

Under her sleeves, Ge Yuanhui clenched her fists... She regretted it so much. She shouldn't have listened to the instigation of such a lowly person and taken such a risky action. It was really not worth it for a mere Xue Zhiyi to get her hands dirty.

Xue Zhiyi just watched the dog-eat-dog drama quietly.

It would be such a loss if Ge Yuanhui's flawless image were to be ruined today.

At this moment, the maid next to Ge Yuanhui knelt down and said, "Miss! I am guilty!"

Under the gazes of the crowd, the maid kowtowed and cried, "Today, when I was preparing the charcoal fire for the poetry party, I accidentally dropped this glass bead string into the charcoal basin. I was afraid that this would make the young lady unhappy, so I didn't dare to say anything. I didn't know that glass would explode when it came into contact with fire!"

Ge Yuanhui breathed a sigh of relief, but still pretended to be heartbroken: "Do you know that you have hurt the Marquis and Miss Xue in this way, and almost ruined my reputation! Why didn't you tell me? Have I ever scolded you?"

After saying this, she covered her face, fell into the chair as if exhausted, and sobbed.

But having said that, everyone can see that if what the maid said was true, then why did Ge Yuanhui lie and deny that he had ever received the beads?

These people are no longer surprised by the fact that slaves take the blame for their masters.

But no one expected that Ge Yuanhui, who was so noble and perfect, like a fairy, would finally have a crack. Through this crack, people could see that Ge Yuanhui was actually no different from other people and had the same sinister and vicious thoughts and plots.

Xue Zhiyi looked at him coldly and smiled faintly.

It is really stupid to use a pearl to hit a stone.
