The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

While struggling subconsciously, Xue Zhiyi widened his eyes.

The person who covered her mouth and nose was actually Xue Tingliu...

At this moment, Xue Tingliu's voice seemed to be poisoned: "Don't make a sound, or I will kill your young lady!"

Qiuyun and Suyue looked pale, and their feet seemed to be fixed, not daring to move.

After seeing the face of the person who came clearly, Xue Zhiyi quickly calmed down and just cast a look at Qiuyun and Suyue, indicating that he was fine.

Xue Tingliu released her mouth and nose, but perhaps fearing that she would escape, he clamped her neck again and pressed her against the wall.

The warm and rough touch against my throat was very uncomfortable.

Xue Tingliu's eyes were fierce. He sneered. In the twilight of New Year's Eve, his face looked full of evil: "Third sister is really capable. She killed someone with a borrowed knife and caused a lot of trouble for me!"

Xue Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat: It seemed that Xue Tingliu had seen through her plan.

He just said, "You knew everything about Dad and Rong Ziying. It was you who designed to let Fu Rongxin know about it and spread it through her, right?"

If Xue Tingliu wants to investigate this kind of thing, I think he will find a way.

Xue Zhiyi's hands were hanging down, stroking the hem of her skirt. A layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and in her eyes as clear as moonlight, there was a soft grievance: "I don't know..."

Xue Tingliu narrowed his eyes slightly and increased the strength in his hands, making her feel a little breathless. It was obvious that Xue Tingliu was not buying it.

"What is your purpose? Are you happy to see the Xue family in chaos?"

He couldn't guess Xue Zhiyi's purpose, because no matter from which angle, as a woman in the harem, she had no reason to treat her biological mother like this.

Everything that happened today was a lose-lose situation for both Anxianju and Feiluxuan, and she herself did not gain any benefit.

It was a really stupid thing to do, but she didn't seem like a fool.

Seeing that Xue Tingliu was unmoved, Xue Zhiyi wiped away his tears and instead smiled faintly with an ambiguous meaning.

If she wasn't being held at the vital point by someone at the moment, this smile on her face would have seemed innocent and harmless.

"What are you laughing at?" This made Xue Tingliu inexplicably angry.

Xue Zhiyi's throat moved slightly: "I don't understand what my second brother means, but I just think that the family will soon have an additional member, isn't this worth celebrating?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Xue Tingliu's anger was aroused again, and his fingers tightened: "Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Rong Ziying, who was originally his pawn, has escaped from his control. And today he has already fallen out with Rong Ziying. I am afraid it will be impossible for him to use her for his own purposes in the future.

If Rong Ziying gave birth to a boy, it would not only become a stumbling block for him, but also based on the degree of closeness, the grandson in Rong Ziying's belly would certainly be closer to the Rong family than him, the nephew. If this evil child was favored, even the Rong family members who had originally supported him wholeheartedly would have second thoughts.

With all these things happening, how could he not hate her!

Xue Zhiyi frowned because of the difficulty in breathing, but the smile on her face did not fade away. She squeezed out a voice: "... Of course, my second brother doesn't dare to kill me."

As she spoke, she looked at Qiuyun and Suyue and said, "Go call for help. He doesn't dare to kill me!"

"You!" Xue Tingliu's nails almost dug into her skin.

"Second brother... has a promising future and is full of plans! How could he... How could he take the blame for me!" The surging feeling of suffocation made her consciousness a little blurred. She urged Qiuyun Suyue: "Go quickly!"

The two girls finally reacted and shouted for help: "Someone come! Someone come quickly!"

Xue Tingliu finally showed a trace of panic that he could not hide. He whispered in her ear and warned: "Just wait!"

After saying that, he let go and left from the back of the house before the guards arrived.

A stream of cold air rushed into Xue Zhiyi's throat. Her body softened and she collapsed to the ground, shaking her head to ease the dizziness caused by suffocation.

The guards came late: "Miss Third! What's wrong?"

Qiuyun supported her and was about to explain when Xue Zhiyi pulled at his collar and said, "Just now a wild cat suddenly jumped out and scared me. It's fine now. You can go away."

After the guards left, she struggled to get up with the help of Qiuyun Suyue. Suyue was still in shock and asked her, "Miss, what happened today..."

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, just pretend it never happened." Xue Zhiyi said.

But Su Yue was still worried: "But how could the Second Young Master ..."

But Xue Zhiyi suddenly chuckled: "I was afraid he wouldn't come, but now everything is just as I expected!"

……

After returning to Jiangxuexuan, Xue Zhiyi was able to take a closer look at himself in the mirror.

Her slender white neck was covered with severe pinching marks, leaving bruises of varying depths.

The pinch was quite harsh.

She applied some ointment and pulled her collar up again to cover it.

At this moment, Su Yue asked her: "Miss, are you still going to the New Year's Eve dinner tonight?"

On New Year's Eve, the whole family should have dinner together, but after all this trouble, who would still have the appetite to eat?

"No." She said, "We can cook something in our own small kitchen."

After thinking for a while, she said, "Ask Fifth Sister if she wants to come over and eat some."

Soon, several freshly cooked dishes were served on the table.

Xue Runing also came. She had heard about the big thing that happened today. Perhaps because she was worried that Xue Zhiyi was in a bad mood, she spoke carefully, fearing that Xue Zhiyi would be sad about what happened today.

Unexpectedly, Xue Zhiyi was not at all worried. Instead, he had a good appetite and even cared about her.

I only heard Xue Zhiyi say: "Fifth sister, have you ever thought about the future?"

"Future?" This word seemed unfamiliar to Xue Runing.

In the future, what other choice do I have besides marrying according to the arrangements of my father and stepmother?

But Xue Zhiyi said: "We women are not like men. We can inherit the family in the future, so we still have to leave some security for ourselves to settle down."

Speaking of this, Xue Runing lowered his eyes sadly: "I understand what Third Sister means, but there are some things that I am powerless to do."

Xue Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "Can you trust me?"

Hearing this, Xue Runing nodded repeatedly: "Of course, Third Sister is so good to me, how can I not trust her?"

Xue Zhiyi asked, "Do you have enough money to buy a house in Fulufang, Beicheng?"

The Xue family is an official family, and they would not openly do anything to allow their daughters to be born out of wedlock. All their daughters have the same monthly salary. Even though Xue Runing is not like Xue Zhiyi, with Xue Ruoyu and the allowances from the Xue family's grandmother and the Fu family's maternal grandmother before they passed away, she should have some savings on hand.

However, she was a little puzzled: "But the houses in Fulufang are dilapidated and there are refugees mixed in. What's the point of buying a house there?"

"That's why the houses there are exceptionally cheap. But the area is vast and close to several prosperous markets, so the prices may go up in the future," Xue Zhiyi said, resting his chin on his hand.

In fact, these days, her warehouse has been increasingly out of pocket.

Since her rebirth, she has spent money on too many things, basically spending all the cash she had saved since she was a child. A few days ago, she had sorted out all the jewelry she had accumulated over the years, leaving only the ones she wore on a daily basis, and pawned most of them. She couldn't continue like this.

So she planned to use all the money from pawning her jewelry to buy a house and a shop in Fulufang.

This is probably one of the benefits of being reborn. You can know the future market trends in advance, take action in advance, and accumulate wealth for yourself.

She didn't really want Xue Runing and the Xue family to fall into the quagmire together. If Xue Runing was willing, she wanted to help this innocent girl.
