The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Seeing Huo Wuyou sad, Sui Yunlang didn't know how to comfort him for a moment, and could only say: "I am your brother's staff and his friend. Although Wuji is gone, I will take good care of his family for him as I promised him. You just treat me as your brother."

"Go away." Unexpectedly, Huo Wuyou's expression suddenly changed: "Don't take advantage of me."

All of a sudden, the sadness on Sui Yunlang's face disappeared: "Just understand, I am trying to comfort you, Huo Wuyou, you are so ungrateful! If you weren't injured, do you think I would beat you or not?"

After the two of them pushed and shoved each other for a while, Sui Yunlang asked him, "Honestly, Zhao Xu is Prince Gong's man, do you plan to surrender to Prince Cheng?"

Huo Wuyou became serious again: "Prince Cheng is not a good person either, and I don't want to get involved in the faction struggle, but if it is for revenge, we can indeed use the power of Prince Cheng to accomplish our goal."

"Oh, right." Sui Yunlang remembered something and asked, "I heard from Yan Gui that you were saved by Gu Shichong's little princess today? She is quite kind-hearted."

Hearing this address, Huo Wuyou felt a surge of discomfort in his heart for no reason. He glanced at Sui Yunlang unfriendly and said, "I'm also surprised. Xue Zhentong and Zhao Xu are relatives. I broke into the Zhao Mansion without permission, but she actually chose to help me."

Sui Yunlang was confused by his glare, and didn't know what had offended him. He could only sigh: "What does a little girl know about the political situation? Maybe she is just a good person."

Speaking of Xue Zhiyi, the image that emerged in Huo Wuyou's mind was her cunning yet innocent face after she teased him. He snorted lightly: "She may not be so hateful."

……

The night is deep.

When Su Yue was taking off Xue Zhiyi's hair, she said, "Miss, your pearl hairpin is missing."

"Pearl hairpin? Which one?" she asked.

Su Yue said: "It belongs to Bai Mei."

Xue Zhiyi thought, too many things happened today, maybe he didn't know where it fell when he went out.

"Third sister, is the hairpin important?" Xue Runing whispered

Xue Runing said that she wanted to learn how to read account books from Xue Zhiyi, and she has been coming to her place every day recently.

She had been out all day today and thought Xue Runing would not come, but she did not expect that the little girl was so hardworking and had accumulated a lot of questions to ask her.

In fact, Xue Runing was very talented in learning, but unfortunately her biological mother died early and Xue Zhentong ignored her, which delayed her development.

Xue Zhiyi smiled at her: "It doesn't matter, it's a good thing that I lost that opportunity."

The pearl flower was small and only served as an embellishment in her hair. If Su Yue hadn't mentioned it at this time, she might not have noticed that there was a hairpin missing from her dressing table.

Thinking of Xue Runing, Xue Zhiyi felt a little worried. She was not the biological daughter of the Xue family and would leave sooner or later. Sooner or later, something would happen to the Xue family. She didn't want this little girl to be implicated by the Xue family.

But Xue Runing is different from Xue Ruoyu. Xue Ruoyu is protected by the Tang family, but she can't think of ways to get Xue Runing married early for this reason, right? If the husband's family is unreliable, everything will only be worse.

Seeing Xue Zhiyi taking off her hair and preparing to rest, Xue Runing also stood up obediently holding a thick book: "Third sister, it's getting late, I'll take my leave first."

Xue Zhiyi came back to his senses and said, "Let Qiuyun light a lantern to send you back."

After seeing Xue Runing off, she had time to recall what happened today.

Looking at the half blue flower at the base of her left hand, Huo Wuyou's face flashed through her mind.

What does Huo Wuyou want to do?

Last time he was haunting the Xue family, this time it’s the Zhao family.

The Xue family, the Zhao family in this life, and the Shen family in the previous life are all members of Prince Gong's party. So it seems that Huo Wuyou is targeting people from Prince Gong's party, so he is definitely Prince Sheng's man.

And according to the time when Huo Wuyou slandered the Shen family in his previous life, he should be collecting, or creating evidence of the Yueling Pass tragedy at this time.

Shen Chiyan is no longer Prince Gong's man in this life, so Huo Wuyou has no reason to harm the Shen family, so... has he decided to slander the Zhao family now?

Xue Zhiyi tossed and turned in bed.

In short, since her rebirth, the development of many things has gradually deviated from the trajectory of her previous life, and I don’t know whether the future of the Xue family will change because of this.

In his previous life, in order to clear the Xue family's charges, Xue Zhiyi roamed among the powerful and wealthy as an official prostitute, and thus discovered the truth behind the Xue family's crimes.

Although Xue Zhentong is a good-for-nothing, his crime of corruption is indeed slandered.

Xue Zhentong was the Minister of Revenue, in charge of the money in the national treasury, but he would not do such a stupid thing as embezzlement. The Xue family's money mainly came from the offerings of the Fu family, and the Fu family, with the help of Xue Zhentong's power, had great convenience in the business world and prospered financially.

The two families benefited from each other in this way, and Xue Zhentong didn't need to touch the national treasury at all.

But later, the Ministry of Revenue caught fire, and it was discovered that Xue Tingliu had tampered with the Xue family's accounts. Xue Tingliu then reported the incident with great righteousness, saying that the fire was caused by Xue Zhentong embezzling the national treasury's silver, and he set fire to destroy the evidence.

Zhao Xu, who joined the King Sheng party together with Xue Tingliu, was also an important witness to prove the charges.

In order to protect themselves, the Fu family quickly destroyed all records of money transactions with the Xue family, which made Xue Zhentong unable to explain the treasury silver in the Xue Mansion that far exceeded the salary.

Xue Zhentong's corruption and Shen Chiyan's mastermind over the Yueling Pass Massacre were the two things that caused Prince Gong to be disliked and suppressed by the Emperor.

Later, it was Xue Zhiyi who brought the collected evidence to Prince Gong, which allowed the Xue family and Prince Gong's party to make a comeback, and eventually defeated Prince Sheng and ascended the throne.

But in the end, she only waited for the Xue family's conspiracy, was convicted of murder, and died tragically in prison.

Perhaps no matter how things change, Xue Tingliu will still use the same old tricks again.

She still has to get the most crucial evidence from her previous life...

……

The next day.

Rong Ziying took the cake she brought from Zhao's house and quietly went to the clinic.

When she walked out of the clinic, her forehead was covered with sweat...

Sure enough, her intuition was correct, the pastry was indeed poisoned.

Who could have done it?

Xue Hanshu had no reason, and the only people who had ever approached her were Xue Zhiyi and Fu Rongxin.

Is it Fu Rongxin? It must be her! She wanted to compete for Xue Tingsheng and eliminate her opponent, so she took a risky move and used such a sinister method.

"She wants to kill me... Fu Rongxin wants to kill me!" Her breathing rose and fell.

Chun Tao was also a little scared: "Miss, what should we do now?"

"No, someone wants to kill me. I have to sue the authorities!" But after taking a few steps, she stopped and slapped her head habitually: "What's the point of suing the authorities? What kind of evidence is this? What's more, I have no one to rely on, so it's useless even if I sue."

Chun Tao reminded: "Miss, let's go tell the second young master, shall we?"

Hearing this, Rong Ziying sneered: "Come on, I am just a chess piece of his. I have not been able to take down Xue Tingsheng yet. In addition, after what happened last time, he is ready to give up on me. When the people from Cenzhou come, I will be completely abandoned."

Chun Tao sighed and advised her: "Miss, life here is not good at all. If you stay here, even your life is in danger. They want to kill people at any time. It's too scary..."

"I won't go back." Rong Ziying refused decisively: "My life in Huajing is not good because I haven't taken root here. Once I get close to Xue Tingsheng, how can I not have a good life? Now that I have someone to rely on, do you still dare to harm me like this?"

Suddenly, she paused: "Yes..."

"Right...what?" Looking at her expression, Chuntao felt a little uneasy.

Yes, as long as she could find a big tree to provide shade, what would she be afraid of?

Xue Tingsheng ignored him, but Xue Tingsheng himself might not be a good choice. Although he was the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion, he had no official status, which was why he might not make the list.

It would be better to find someone who is already an official, so that you can enjoy the shade under a big tree.

Isn’t there a big tree like this right in front of you?
