The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Huo Wuyou tilted his head slightly and was looking at her with a playful expression.

When his eyes met Xue Zhiyi's unexpectedly, he saw that when she was doing something bad, her seemingly well-behaved face was full of guilt and panic.

Huo Wuyou's heart thumped, and it was deafening...

His eyes flickered quickly, as if he was trying to hide something. He raised his hand to fiddle with his hairband and chuckled, "Xue Zhiyi, what are you doing so secretly?"

Xue Zhiyi's heart started beating fast after being frightened by this. Being caught doing something bad made him feel guilty for a short moment.

But at this moment, the little servant boy was whispering outside the screen: "Miss, are you ready?"

Seeing this, Qiuyun handed him another silver ingot and said, "It will be fine soon!"

Xue Zhiyi suppressed her guilty conscience: She would accomplish today's matter no matter what, no matter who tried to stop her!

So she suppressed her guilty conscience and did not answer his question. Xue Zhiyi hurriedly pasted Xue Tingliu's name on the back of Jiang Xu's essay, and then crumpled up Xue Tingliu's essay and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Huo Wuyou said sarcastically, "You are so wicked that you even exchanged the policy papers of the poor students?"

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi sighed silently and looked up at him: "I advise Lin'an Hou not to worry about this matter, so as to avoid reminding me of something I have finally forgotten."

This is talking about the incident in which Huo Wuyou broke into the Zhao family, the Marquis of Yongping.

Huo Wuyou hesitated, and the hand that was pressing on the stack of policy papers was pushed away by Xue Zhiyi. Then, he watched her mix the secretly altered policy paper into the stack of papers.

After doing all this, it is not advisable to stay here for long.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the screen, Xue Zhiyi suddenly stopped and turned around, causing Huo Wuyou to almost fail to brake and bump into her.

But he saw Xue Zhiyi staring at him. Although he was still smiling, his eyes were full of displeasure.

Huo Wuyou followed her rashly today. It couldn't be that he was just teasing her because he had nothing to do. Did he notice something? Was it related to what he was doing now?

Looking at Xue Zhiyi who was smiling but not really smiling, Huo Wuyou felt uneasy: "What... happened?"

He was attracted to Xue Zhiyi, but that was all. He had not yet lost control of himself. He was just curious about what Xue Zhiyi was going to do at the spring gathering that would be held when the imperial examination was approaching, which would bring together scholars from all over the world. In other words, what the Xue family was going to do.

But what is surprising is that she just wanted to replace an unknown scholar, and the policy discussion between her and her second brother is really hard to understand.

Xue Zhiyi was the first to smile: "Nothing, it's just that Marquis Lin'an seems to have something to say to me, right?"

Huo Wuyou hummed nonchalantly, blinked, held his chin, and paced slowly beside her: "It is rumored that the legitimate and illegitimate branches of your Xue family are at loggerheads and incompatible, but now it seems that the rumors are unbelievable, otherwise you would not have replaced such a good article that criticizes current social ills with the name of your half-brother."

"Are you done asking?" Xue Zhiyi asked her.

"I'm done." Seeing Xue Zhiyi still looking at him with a scrutinizing expression, he spread his hands and said, "Everyone has a gossipy heart. I usually have nothing to do, so I like to ask about these things."

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing.

But suddenly, he changed the subject: "What a pity."

When he said this, his voice was high and low, as if he was chatting with her casually: "Unfortunately, this is just a guess based on the premise that you are a fool."

He smiled softly and suddenly moved closer to Xue Zhiyi, causing a ripple of emotion to flash across her eyes.

When he lowered his voice, it was casual and lazy, with a bit of the cunning of a young man, but what he said shocked Xue Zhiyi: "But if you are not a fool, but a scheming little vicious woman, then my guess should change... You don't want to help Xue Tingliu, you gave him such a policy paper in exchange for his death, not only that, you also want Xue Zhentong to die with him, right?"

Xue Zhiyi clenched his hands, and when he raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Wuyou who was so close to him, there was only vigilance in his eyes.

His pair of auspicious phoenix eyes seemed to be filled with a cold light like the edge of a sword, and on his very youthful face, there was a coldness that was hard to ignore.

But suddenly, he smiled brightly, and all the haze on his face disappeared instantly like a spring breeze, as if every word he said just now was Xue Zhiyi's illusion.

"So...Xue Zhiyi, are you a little fool, or a little vicious woman?"

Xue Zhiyi blinked slowly, and in a flash, he retracted the expression in his eyes.

She took two steps back, distanced herself from Huo Wuyou, and covered her chest in a pretentious manner: "Oh my God, it's the first month of the year, what are you talking about, Lord? It's so scary."

Huo Wuyou folded his arms and looked at her. He obviously had some guesses in his mind, so he was not displeased by Xue Zhiyi's pretending to be stupid. He just raised his eyebrows slightly: "I have finished asking questions, it's your turn."

"My turn?" Xue Zhiyi was still covering his chest.

Huo Wuyou nodded: "It's your turn to ask me."

Xue Zhiyi sighed angrily, and then confidently spread his hands to him: "Compensate me ten taels of silver."

Pointing at himself: "Me?"

Xue Zhiyi said, "Yes, if you hadn't interrupted me just now, I would have done it long ago. I could have given you one less ingot of silver. Do you think you shouldn't pay for this?"

Unbelievably, Huo Wuyou sneered: "Just understand that it was you who did the unethical thing of replacing the person."

"That's right." Xue Zhiyi looked disappointed and took back his hand: "It was indeed my fault. I was the one who stole the show, sneaked in secretly, sneaked into the house..."

"Stop talking." Seeing Xue Zhiyi still mentioning the Zhao family matter, Huo Wuyou gave in: "I'll pay."

When he was about to take the silver, he paused and suddenly smiled: "I left the purse with the man."

After saying that, he pretended to be embarrassed and fumbled around his body for a while. Suddenly, he made an artificial "eh" sound, untied the ribbon that tied his hair from his head, and handed it to Xue Zhiyi.

"This ribbon is woven with gold thread, and the red jade pendant on it is also top quality. It's worth more than ten taels. You made a profit."

Xue Zhiyi frowned, not wanting to accept this personal item. Just as he was about to refuse, he threw it into Qiuyun's hand without saying anything: "Keep it for your lady."

Then he crossed his arms and smiled casually: "If you don't accept it, I'm afraid you will go around telling everyone that I owe you money."

After that, he turned and left.

Huo Wuyou's heart was beating fast... He really deserved to die. He said he was here to do something serious, so why was he clinging to her again? He was really messing up the matter!

Here, Xue Zhiyi took the ribbon from Qiuyun and played with it for a moment: How could she keep such a thing? Just throw it away.

But if she thought about it carefully, if this thing fell into the hands of others, something might happen, so she hid it so that no one could see it.
