The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

So they gave the carriage to Fu Rongxin.

Xue Zhiyi, Xue Runing, and Qiuyun Suyue were brought to the carriage where Huo Wuyou was.

Huo Wuyou lifted the carriage curtain and said to the inside, "Sui Yunlang, come out and ride the horse for a while."

The people inside were a little impatient: "Can you be more peaceful every day?"

Seeing this, he simply leaned half of his body in and pulled the person out.

The man was grabbed and asked: "Huo Wuyou, are you crazy?"

Before he finished speaking, he noticed Xue Zhiyi and Xue Runing who were looking at him. Immediately, a flash of embarrassment flashed across his rather gentle face. With his collar still being grabbed by Huo Wuyou, he greeted the two of them: "Hello, both of you."

Huo Wuyou carried him out of the car without saying anything, and then said to Xue Zhiyi, "Please do as you please."

Xue Zhiyi blinked and said nothing: It's so presumptuous to sit in this car.

The car was finally vacated and the four of them got in.

The car was spacious and warm, with a pleasant scent of sandalwood. The carvings inside the car had patterns that were very characteristic of the Northwest. It was much more comfortable than their own car.

At this moment, Xue Zhiyi did not hear the two people on the horses whispering outside the car.

Sui Yunlang nudged Huo Wuyou with his elbow: "What's wrong with you?"

Huo Wuyou stared ahead in a daze, feeling guilty: "What?"

"Don't play dead." Sui Yunlang said, "What happened to you today? You were like a peacock with its tail spread out. You took the initiative to approach Miss Xue San since the chuiwan game. Just now, you saw her talking to a scholar and you wanted to get close to her no matter what. Could it be that you are..."

Huo Wuyou clicked his tongue and said, "What is it? I feel that her actions as a member of the Xue family are suspicious, and I am also worried that the Spring Examination is approaching, and she might want to use the candidate to do something, so I have to keep a close eye on her."

"You'd better." Sui Yunlang snorted and lowered his voice: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. After the New Year, when spring comes and flowers bloom, even if you have any thoughts that make you restless, don't go after her. The Xue family is the party of Prince Gong, and she is the young princess of Prince Gong who has not yet married. You..."

Huo Wuyou suddenly pushed him and said, "Shut up."

Sui Yunlang was speechless: "You don't know how to appreciate kindness. I'm just afraid that you'll be blinded by beauty and do something stupid, which will delay important matters."

Seeing Huo Wuyou still glaring at him, he said, “Let me tell you, anyone who falls into a relationship between a man and a woman will have their brains like they’ve fallen into a well. There’s no hope… Hey, slow down!”

Huo Wuyou rode his horse to the front of the carriage, leaving Sui Yunlang behind.

The carriage stopped outside the Xue Mansion. When Xue Zhiyi got off the carriage, he met Fu Rongxin's angry eyes.

She was shivering in a blanket, but she still stared at Xue Zhiyi.

Xue Zhiyi had no idea what was wrong with her brain. She had provoked Ge Yuanhui and ended up being retaliated against. Now she had a roundabout way of hating him, Xue Zhiyi.

Xue Zhiyi still felt that he was implicated by her.

Huo Wuyou also got off the horse. He yawned and said, "Is it consider it a kindness of mine to send you here?"

Facing him, Xue Zhiyi finally smiled and bowed to him: "Thank you, Marquis Lin'an, for today."

Huo Wuyou seemed to be in a better mood. He chuckled, "Don't be too grateful to me. There's no need to invite me in for tea to express your gratitude. I've always been so enthusiastic."

When did she say she wanted to invite him in?

But she was also afraid that if she continued to say this, Huo Wuyou would come in, so she said, "It's getting late and the dew is heavy. Zhiyi will not keep you any longer, my Lord. Please walk slowly as it's late at night."

After saying this, he bowed again and then followed the servants of the Xue family who came to greet him outside the door into the house.

Looking at Xue Zhiyi's back, Huo Wuyou took a deep breath of the cold night air, and the stuffy feeling in his heart dissipated without him noticing.

Sui Yunlang clicked his tongue: "Still watching?"

Huo Wuyou came back to his senses and got on his horse: "Let's go back to the mansion."

With a muffled groan, Sui Yunlang got on the carriage. Looking at Huo Wuyou, who was smiling on the horse's back, he said, "Look at you, you look like a peacock spreading its feathers. You are really doomed!"

……

Hongyingzhai.

The candlelight was dim, and Xue Tingliu's face was frighteningly gloomy.

His fingers were clenched around a piece of paper, making a creaking sound.

Today, he was tricked by someone. Who was this person? His political enemy, or his enemy?

Looking at the dark room, Xue Zhiyi's hateful face inexplicably appeared in his mind.

For some reason, strange things like this always happen wherever she is, or... is this related to her?

Thinking of this, he read the article carefully again. It was indeed a critical article of current social ills, with brilliant literary talent. The handwriting was as smooth as flowing water, with strong Yan and Liu bones. The whole article was completed in one go without any smudges.

The author of this article is quite talented.

He went to the Spring Market with the intention of recruiting talents for His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. Unfortunately, he had to take the place of this talented person today.

It is time to ask the Imperial College to look for it based on the handwriting. He is also very curious about who could have written this essay.

……

Qingyunzhai.

When Fu Rongxin came, Xue Zhentong was looking worried.

"Uncle." In front of Xue Zhentong, Fu Rongxin was always considerate and didn't act like a spoiled child like she did in front of Fu Ling.

"Is your uncle worried about your cousin's imperial examination?"

Even though his relationship with Fu Ling is now distant, Fu Rongxin is still his daughter and his hope for becoming the father-in-law of the emperor, so naturally he loves her.

His expression softened a little, and he sent the waiter away with his eyes, saying, "I've personally read his essay, and it's still not up to par. I'm afraid it's still a long shot if he wants to make the list this time."

Fu Rongxin sat down, thought for a moment, and said, "In this case, uncle, have you thought of other ways? For example... using your relationship with the Ministry of Rites to find a scholar who has no family background but is quite talented - to steal the day?"

Hearing this, Xue Zhentong was also paused. He had never told Fu Rongxin about his plan, but he did not expect that she had guessed this. However, he changed his mind and thought that after all, she was destined to be the Phoenix, so it was not surprising that she was a little smart.

He said, "It's a pity that the Minister of Rites Fang Ou sent a message saying that it is really difficult to find outstanding candidates in this year's spring examination."

At this point, Fu Ling smiled slightly: "Rong Xin also went to the Spring Festival this time. I have a good candidate and I want to recommend him to my uncle."

Xue Zhentong chuckled twice: "What do you, a girl, know about articles and policy papers?"

After that, before Fu Rongxin could speak, he continued, "Fang Ou did say that although no one with outstanding talent was found in the Spring Collection, a candidate named Jiang was found in the articles of the Imperial Academy. No one in his family was an official, so he was the most suitable candidate. What a pity."

Fu Rongxin frowned: This must be referring to Jiang Xu. Xue Tingsheng also used his test paper in his previous life. Could there be any changes in this life?

But Xue Zhentong said, "Unfortunately, this candidate has been favored by Prince Cheng and has become a guest of honor in Prince Cheng's palace."

Fu Rong was stunned: How is it possible? No matter how capable Xue Zhiyi is, can he even guess what King Cheng is thinking?

Xue Zhentong sneered, "Although Fang Ou is loyal to His Royal Highness Prince Gong, the old man is very cunning. How could he be willing to take the risk of offending Prince Cheng? Now that things have come to this, Prince Gong is not willing to do such a trick again, so as not to give Prince Cheng a handle."

He sighed deeply: "Now it seems that we can only hope that your useless brother can make the list with his own ability."
