The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

"The Queen Mother is here!"

With one announcement, everyone knelt down to greet him.

Huo Zhiyu helped the queen mother sit down: "Grandma, why are you here?"

The Queen Mother sighed slightly and said, "I just woke up and heard about this." She turned to ask Huo Wuyou, "Wuyou, how is your injury?"

Huo Wuyou smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry, grandma, it's just a minor injury. I've already taken medicine, so it's okay."

The Queen Mother sighed again: "Xue family girl, how are you?"

Xue Zhiyi was a little worried that the Queen Mother would be angry with her because of Huo Wuyou's injury, so she just lowered her eyes and said, "Queen Mother, thanks to the Marquis for saving me, Zhiyi is fine, I am very grateful."

Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not blame them, but just asked everyone to sit down without formalities.

Ge Yuanhui felt guilty, and before Huo Wuyou could speak, he knelt down to confess his guilt to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, it is because Yuanhui did not discipline his subordinates strictly that such a thing happened. I hope the Queen Mother will punish him severely, otherwise Yuanhui will feel guilty."

The Queen Mother naturally knew what had happened. Her old eyes looked at Fu Rongxin and then fell on Ge Yuanhui again.

Her voice was still kind: "Yuan Hui, even the female officials around me can make mistakes sometimes. Since it was unintentional, why do you blame yourself so much?"

Ge Yuanhui's tearful eyes froze for a moment.

The Queen Mother said, "But today, this incident did hurt Wuyou and the girl from the Xue family. You should apologize to them."

Everyone was annoyed: Could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to support Ge Yuanhui? It was no wonder. What was the identity of the other person? What was her identity? Duke Dingguo held a large number of troops, so who would blame his only daughter for this matter?

With such a big step, how could Ge Yuanhui dare to have any more objections? He just said yes, then stood up and bowed three times to Xue Zhiyi and Huo Wuyou respectively: "Today, Yuanhui did not teach strictly enough, and the servants around him made mistakes, which almost caused a disaster. Tomorrow, Yuanhui will prepare the best medicine for the wound and personally ask someone to deliver it to your house."

It would be fine if she just apologized to Marquis Lin'an, but who the hell does she, Xue Zhiyi, think she is to accept her gift!

Ge Yuanhui was so humiliated that he almost trembled.

Xue Zhiyi knew that the Queen Mother needed to maintain a balance in certain matters.

The situation in Huajing was complicated and even the Queen Mother could not arbitrarily deal with the Imperial Concubine, or the people of Prince Gong's faction, just because of her grandson, let alone vent her anger for Xue Zhiyi.

She just lowered her eyes and said, "Miss Ge, don't mind."

No one knew what Huo Wuyou was thinking. He just sat there and accepted the greeting without saying a word.

"Okay, okay." The Queen Mother took Ge Yuanhui's hand and said, "If you apologize, this matter will be over."

Ge Yuanhui touched the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and was pulled by the empress dowager to sit beside her.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother changed the subject: "The only people who should be punished are those who made mistakes. How can I let you take the punishment for them?"

The aggrieved look on Ge Yuanhui's face froze.

The empress dowager just looked at her with a smile, without even giving Chai Yue a glance, but Chai Yue understood what she meant. She waved her hand and several eunuchs came up and dragged away the maid who had just taken the blame.

Ge Yuanhui felt as if his spine was filled with ice, chilling to the bone...

“Queen Dowager, please spare me…Queen Dowager, please spare me! Miss! Miss, please save me! Please save me!”

The maid kept screaming, and Chai Yue didn't ask anyone to stop her from screaming. She just let her scream like that... until she was dragged out of everyone's sight.

They could no longer see the maid, but the sound of the club hitting her body, as well as her terrifying and heartbreaking pleas for mercy and screams, still crawled into their ears like crawling insects.

Until the sound gradually faded and disappeared completely...

Some timid ladies couldn't help vomiting, and two of them fainted.

Ge Yuanhui's face turned paler and paler until it was completely bloodless.

She knew that this was the Queen Mother warning her.

Seeing Shen Qingtang's eyes red with fear, Xue Zhiyi pulled her hand, which was shaking and cold to the bone.

Xue Zhiyi looked at the empress dowager's smiling eyes and felt a chill down his spine.

Perhaps it was the Queen Mother’s kindness that sometimes made people forget that she was a woman who had fought in the harem for decades before helping her son ascend the throne. How could she be a weak person?

Her many considerations prevented her from directly attacking the person who hurt her grandson, but that didn't mean she couldn't punish him in other ways.

The matter is settled.

Fu Rongxin shrank down and knelt on the ground, feeling fortunate that the Queen Mother had forgotten about her.

She repeatedly comforted herself in her heart: The Queen Mother will die in two years, it's okay, it's okay...

But when he looked up, he was face to face with Ge Yuanhui.

The tears on that face were not yet dry, and Fu Rongxin saw a strong murderous intent in those eyes... How could Ge Yuanhui allow herself to be a knife to others? She had a grudge against Ge Yuanhui today.

When did Ge Yuanhui die in his previous life?

It's over. It seems that Ge Yuanhui can still live for a long time...

……

It was getting late, the banquet was over, and everyone dispersed.

Xue Zhiyi and Shen Qingtang were traveling the same way, and Shen Qingtang got into Xue Zhiyi's carriage without saying a word.

She just looked at Xue Zhiyi, wanting to say something but stopping herself, then she covered her face with a sad look and buzzed like a fly.

After venting his anger, he pouted and asked Xue Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, do you like Lin'an Hou?"

When she said this, she looked aggrieved, sad, and a little shy, with red cheeks.

Seeing her like this, Xue Zhiyi blinked guiltily: "I am engaged."

"Really?" Shen Qingtang's eyes lit up.

"Really." Xue Zhiyi was the first to complain: "He teased me."

"Ah!?" Shen Qingtang felt as if something had shattered in his mind: "He...how could he be like this?"

Xue Zhiyi was silent. She knew she was a bad person and couldn't help but apologize to Huo Wuyou a million times in her heart: I'm sorry, Huo Wuyou, but I'm determined to cut off your peach blossom...

……

On the way back to Xue's house, Fu Rongxin's carriage was hit by someone for some reason, and he was thrown off his horse and carried. Although he only had some scratches, it looked terrible, with a large bruise on his cheekbone.

Fu Rongxin is delicate and tender, and this injury is enough for her to suffer.

When Fu Ling learned about this, she was so scared that she hugged Fu Rongxin and cried for a while, and she didn't even pretend to visit Xue Zhiyi.

……

Jiang Xuexuan.

Instead, it was Xue Runing who came to see Xue Zhiyi after learning that she was injured.

Seeing that Xue Zhiyi was changing the dressing on the wound on her hand, he blew gently on the wound and changed the dressing for her.

Xue Runing frowned: "Does it hurt, Third Sister?"

"A little bit," she said.

Xue Runing applied the medicine gently and suddenly cried out, "Third sister's wound is full of broken glass shards."

Xue Zhiyi sighed: "The imperial physician said that these fragments are too fine to be removed, but it's not a problem. It will be fine after the wound heals."

Facing the candlelight, Xue Runing looked carefully: "Third sister's wound looks like a flower."

"Really?" Xue Zhiyi became interested and looked at it carefully.

The wound was glowing with blue light. After the glass broke, it shattered at her knuckles. It actually looked like a flower, though not quite complete.

"Half a flower, I guess." she said.

She casually thought of the hand that she held with Huo Wuyou at that time.

The other half is probably in Huo Wuyou's hands.
