The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

As a female member of the Xue family, Xue Zhiyi also has things to take care of during every festival.

Someone has to take care of the annual salaries of each residence and courtyard, the expenses on New Year's Eve, and even the extra meals for the servants at the New Year's Eve dinner. Fu Ling cannot do it all by herself. In the past, Aunt Rong was in charge of it. This year, with one less person, the Xue Mansion has been even busier this year.

Xue Zhiyi was clacking away on the abacus in the accounting office, doing the job very skillfully.

In fact, Fu Ling not only didn't want her to learn poetry, books, rituals and music, he even didn't want her to learn how to do accounting. After all, as a puppet, the dumber she is, the easier it is to control her. On the contrary, the more she knows, the easier it is for her to have disloyalty.

Many of Xue Zhiyi's skills were taught to him by his elder sister.

But later Fu Ling changed his mind and stopped stopping him.

Firstly, too much obstruction would easily arouse suspicion; secondly, Xue Tingsheng was already inferior to Xue Tingliu, and if Fu Ling had another stupid daughter, she would be even more ashamed. Even if she was just a daughter in name, she would not allow Xue Zhiyi to be inferior to Xue Panrou.

Third, the Xue couple hoped that Xue Zhiyi could accumulate a good reputation as the legitimate daughter of the Xue family, so that when Fu Rongxin was recognized, they could reap the benefits.

In short, due to various considerations, Fu Ling ultimately failed to successfully make Xue Zhiyi useless as he had originally planned.

Qiuyun was very efficient and helped her. She whispered to Xue Zhiyi, "Miss, Caizhi is here."

Xue Zhiyi looked up from the account book and ordered someone to say, "Give Taoyao Pavilion's share to Caizhi."

Caizhi took the things, pressed her handprints, and was about to leave, but Xue Zhiyi called out to her, "Caizhi."

Caizhi stopped and bowed: "Miss Third, what do you want?"

Xue Zhiyi said, "We can't spare any manpower here, so you can take the Zhefangyuan's share with you."

After saying that, he went on with other things.

Caizhi was stunned for a moment, but seeing that Xue Zhiyi seemed to be just giving the order casually and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it, she could only agree and left with the two things.

When I arrived at Zhefangyuan, it was busy inside and there was no one to inform them.

When she was delivering the things, she bumped into Chun Tao head-on. She was terrified and her face had lost all color: "Cai... Cai Zhi? What are you doing here? Did your cousin ask you to come?"

Caizhi didn't understand, so she just explained her purpose.

Chun Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief. After taking the portion, she said, "I have received the things as well. You can go back first. Our young lady is ill and I have no time to reward you right now."

After saying that, Chuntao hurriedly closed the door and sent the guest away.

Seeing this, Caizhi became more and more confused. She just carefully looked through the crack in the door, but couldn't see anything clearly. However, she vaguely heard the sound of vomiting from inside.

It seems that Miss Rong is indeed sick.

Thinking of something, Caizhi did not go back immediately, but hid at the corner outside Zhefangyuan until an old man carrying a medicine box walked out of the yard, then she tiptoed and followed him.

……

Taoyao Pavilion.

"Miss! Miss!"

Caizhi rushed into the room in a panic. She looked panicked and was sweating in the dead of winter.

Fu Rongxin frowned: "What's going on? You're becoming more and more unruly!"

"Something…something happened! Something big happened in Zhefangyuan!"

Hearing this, Fu Rongxin could no longer sit still. She stood up and said, "Speak!"

Cai Zhi whispered, "Today, I went to Zhefangyuan to deliver something, and I saw Miss Rong was ill. I had called in a doctor and was seeing her. Everyone inside was acting mysterious, so I was wary and went to ask the doctor. I didn't expect... Miss Rong was pregnant!"

Fu Rongxin's expression gradually became filled with joy, and her palms were numb from excitement: "Okay, Rong Ziying, that bitch, I will make her die in my hands this time! After this scandal is exposed, let's see how she can still live in this world!"

Caizhi was a little uneasy: "Miss, who do you think this adulterer could be?"

Fu Rongxin snorted coldly: "With her character, what kind of person can she marry? Most likely, he is a man who is as vulgar and lowly as her."

"But..." Cai Zhi continued, "I see Miss Rong always pestering the young master, could it be..."

"What nonsense!" Before he finished speaking, Fu Rongxin interrupted, "How could the young master be interested in someone like her?"

No matter what, Xue Tingsheng is still her brother, so how could he have such bad taste?

However, Caizhi's words made her think more. Some things still needed to be confirmed again to be absolutely sure.

If this bastard is really Xue Tingsheng's, wouldn't exposing this matter be exactly what Rong Ziying wants?

……

On New Year's Eve, Xue Tingsheng was not confined to his study, but was able to enjoy the snow in the Xue family courtyard.

"cousin."

When Fu Rongxin arrived, he was in the octagonal pavilion, with a small stove burning, tea simmering on the stove, and a few snacks on the table.

When he saw Fu Rongxin, Xue Tingsheng's eyes brightened.

Today, cousin Rongxin also wore new clothes. The apricot-colored dress was simple and elegant, which made her look graceful and elegant, and she was so beautiful that it made people's hearts flutter.

He smiled and called out, "Rongxin, please sit down."

Fu Rongxin sat down as she was told and chatted with Xue Tingsheng for a few words before turning the topic to Rong Ziying: "It's a pity that Sister Ziying is sick. She ruined the fun on New Year's Eve."

When Rong Ziying was mentioned, Xue Tingsheng showed surprise: "Without her here, we are quiet."

"Cousin, don't you like Sister Ziying?" While saying this, Fu Rongxin had been observing Xue Tingsheng's expression.

Xue Tingsheng's eyes were filled with disdain: "Rongxin is just too kind-hearted. She was so ill-intentioned in the Bodhi Temple, why are you still speaking for her? She is too restless. Such a person must not stay in the Xue family."

After thinking for a while, Fu Rong thought: "But she seems to like my cousin very much."

At this point, Xue Tingsheng seemed to have suffered some kind of humiliation: "Be careful with your words. I absolutely cannot have any good feelings towards the Rong family. Even if she has such intentions, I dare not have such intentions."

After listening to what Xue Tingsheng said, Fu Rongxin finally breathed a sigh of relief: Now I can rest assured, the baby in Rong Ziying's belly is definitely not Xue Tingsheng's.

……

After several months, Xue Panrou finally saw the sun outside Feiluxuan.

She was called by her brother.

Xue Tingliu looked at her with disappointment: This silly girl has learned her lesson and has lost a lot of weight in recent days.

Because of that slap, Xue Panrou was still a little afraid of him. She shrank her neck and said, "Second brother..."

Xue Tingliu retracted his gaze: "Alright, the punishment has been done. If you still have a conscience, remember how much your mother paid to protect you. From now on, you should be honest and stay until I marry you. Do you understand?"

Xue Panrou blinked: "What kind of marriage did my brother find for me? Can you tell me about it?"

Seeing her heartless appearance, Xue Tingliu felt disgusted: "Although the family background of the Minister of Rites is not as good as ours, his eldest son has a bright future and is handsome. You will like him."

Xue Panrou was delighted and bowed to him: "Brother, you are the best! I promise that I will behave myself in the next few days and never make trouble again."

Seeing Xue Tingliu's suspicious expression, she quickly said, "Really? This morning, the maid who came to deliver the allowance was so clumsy that she dropped the box of eyebrow pencil. I resisted the urge to hit her!"

Xue Tingliu was annoyed and just waved her hand, and asked the servants to give her a bulging red envelope and send her away.
