The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Xue Runing hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily: "I believe Third Sister!"

As they were talking, Qiuyun came up with the pawned banknotes. Xue Zhiyi took it, looked at it, and handed it to Xue Runing solemnly: "I'll leave this matter to you."

Xue Runing panicked: "Third sister, how can this be possible..."

Xue Zhiyi just smiled and said, "Just buy it if you think it's worth it. If you're not sure, let Qiuyun go with you. Third sister also believes in you."

Seeing that she was still trying to refuse, Xue Zhiyi said, "Runing, you are not a child anymore. Even if others ignore you, you can't look down on yourself. You can't be so timid all the time."

At this point, Xue Runing finally took the banknote and looked at Xue Zhiyi with eager eyes: "Thank you for your trust, Third Sister. Runing will definitely handle this matter!"

This year, Xue Zhiyi stayed up all night with Xue Runing.

The little girl couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the bed in Jiangxuexuan, wrapped in a quilt.

Looking at the snow slowly falling outside the window, Xue Zhiyi fiddled with the chess pieces absent-mindedly.

As soon as the sun rose, it was the year when the Xue family was confiscated. She had to speed up some things.

……

New Year's Day.

After a night's rest, Fu Ling was finally able to get out of bed.

She had a sallow complexion and had not had time to put on makeup when Xue Zhentong came. However, he did not come to visit her, but to discuss Rong Ziying's marriage.

Fu Ling was still angry. When she heard this, the feeling of humiliation came up again, and her throat seemed to taste bloody.

Xue Zhentong said, "It just so happens that the people from the Rong family are also in the mansion. We can submit the documents for taking a concubine to the government in the next few days, choose an auspicious day for Ziying to enter the house, and still place her in Zhefang Courtyard. All the provisions will be in accordance with the old rules of the Rong family."

Fu Ling listened with a stiff face, as stiff as a puppet.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xue Zhentong became even more displeased: "Madam, what do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean?" Fu Ling couldn't bear it any longer: "I want to ask what the master means? Do you really want me to happily welcome this shameless bitch into the house? She is shameless, but I want her!"

Upon hearing her humiliating his new lover, Xue Zhentong flew into a rage: "Madam, don't forget, I am a high-ranking official, a minister, and I don't need your approval to take a concubine. It's you who is so jealous! You have committed the seven offences!"

Fu Ling was also startled when he heard this: "Master, do you mean... to divorce me?"

Xue Zhentong said nothing.

But Fu Ling couldn't help but shed tears. She stood up and questioned Xue Zhentong: "You want to divorce me for this? Do you still remember that you used the Fu family's money to bribe people all the way to have the opportunity to become the Shangshu! My brother used the whole family to support you, are you going to divorce me now? "

Because of his guilty conscience, Xue Zhentong avoided his gaze a little: "But now the times have changed. With my ability, I am not incapable of supporting the next Fu family. Moreover, how could the Fu family not have borrowed my influence to get several jobs of the imperial merchants to become so prominent today? If you want to bring up the past again, don't blame me for not reminding you. Now is it that the Fu family cannot do without the Xue family, or the Xue family cannot do without the Fu family!"

In fact, Fu Ling knew what Xue Zhentong said. The Fu family had long been dependent on the Xue family. If the Fu family wanted to continue its business, they had to rely on the Xue family. Otherwise, Xue Zhentong would not have favored Rong Xiutong so openly over the years.

It's not like they didn't have a deep love for each other in the past. They had just been married for three years and had two children, Ruoyu and Tingsheng, and there were no concubines in the family. How enviable was that?

But since Rong Xiutong came into the family and gave birth to Xue Tingliu, everything changed.

Thinking of this, Fu Ling smiled somewhat sarcastically: "Master, you are really heartless and ungrateful!"

Xue Zhentong also snorted coldly: "Aren't you also selfish, jealous, cruel and ruthless? Even Rong Xin has been corrupted by you."

"You still have the nerve to mention Rong Xin?!" Fu Ling tried to lower her voice: "That bitch wanted to harm Rong Xin in Bodhi Temple, you know that!"

Xue Zhentong said, "Ziying has explained this matter clearly. It was all a misunderstanding, but she wanted to take revenge and tried to cause Ziying to have a miscarriage! Do you dare to say that you didn't teach her these schemes?"

Fu Ling's voice trembled: "Okay...Okay! Then you can divorce me, Rong Xin doesn't have to be brought back, and you don't have to worry about the daughter I gave birth to. I can let you be the father-in-law of the emperor!"

"You..." Xue Zhentong stood up and said, "Rongxin is also my daughter. Instead of talking about something that is far away, you might as well educate your son well. If he fails the exam again this time, I can't afford to lose face as a person!"

This matter was a sore spot for Fu Ling. She could no longer control her anger. She pushed Xue Zhentong and said, "Is Xue Tingliu your only son? If you had paid more attention to Tingsheng, the relationship between you two would not have faded! He is your legitimate son, Xue Zhentong, you are too distorted!"

"It's because he's useless!"

Xue Zhentong was furious after being pushed. He grabbed Fu Ling's hand and dragged her to the dressing table, making her face bare in front of the mirror: "Look at yourself, you are so old and unromantic like a clay puppet. You can no longer serve me. Why don't you allow others to come? Ziying, you have no choice in this matter. If you still want to save your face and be the mistress of the Xue family, then drink this cup of concubine tea honestly! If anything happens to them, you will be held responsible!"

After saying that, he walked away.

Fu Ling stared blankly at the mirror, stroking her old face... Suddenly, she collapsed, covering her face and crying loudly.

When Mother Xing came in, she saw Fu Ling throwing the mirror to the ground, breaking the bronze mirror into a deformed shape.

At this moment, the words "elegant, self-contained" and "gentle as a chrysanthemum" have nothing to do with her anymore.

Mother Xing didn't know what they talked about in there, she just thought that the lady was sad about Rong Ziying's matter, so she hurried to help her up.

But Fu Ling seemed to be crazy. He grabbed her hand and said to himself, "No... No! When he proposed to me, he said I was the most beautiful woman in Linzhou! Why is this happening? Why is this happening!"

She fell on Mother Xing and wailed, the sound seemed to break her throat, making people feel terrified and heartbroken.

……

Sorrow and joy cannot be shared, happiness and joy cannot be compatible.

At this moment, Zhefangyuan seems to be celebrating the New Year.

Xue Zhentong ordered that this place be thoroughly renovated, with many new furnishings added and all food and beverages of the best quality selected.

This made Rong Ziying the talk of the town for a while.

She touched her belly which was not yet visible, and walked around the house with Chuntao's support.

"Miss, you have finally gotten your reward after all the hardship you've endured."

Rong Ziying's face still bore the fingerprints left by Xue Panrou, but that did not stop her from looking very happy at the moment: "If I had not made the decision at that time, how could we be so rich and powerful now? My aunt is useless, and it still depends on me so that the master can continue to support the Rong family."

Chun Tao smiled and said, "Isn't it? I think the master really loves the young lady. Anyone who has objections has been punished. Even the lady had a big quarrel with the master. I'm afraid the lady is really going to fall out of favor completely."

Speaking of this, Rong Ziying looked worried: "They were all punished, but how come Fu Rongxin, who pushed me, was not punished at all?"
