The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

As they walked, Xue Zhiyi praised Zhao Shen for his bravery, praising him so much that he seemed to be walking with the wind. If Xue Zhiyi had not been the fiancée of Prince Gong, he would have suspected that she had other thoughts about him.

On the way, they met Qiuyun and Suyue who were anxiously looking for Xue Zhiyi. She said goodbye to Zhao Shen here and returned to Xiaoxuan with them.

When he arrived at Xiaoxuan, Xue Zhiyi had already restrained the expression on his face.

After walking into the door, I found that Xue Hanshu had already arrived.

"Shu'er." Xue Zhiyi called out, just like in the past.

But Xue Hanshu was stunned, as if she was in another world: "Third sister, why did you take so long to bake some clothes?"

The chairs were arranged on the left and right. Fu Rongxin and Rong Ziying sat on the left, and Xue Zhiyi sat on the right. "This is my first visit to the Yongping Marquis' Mansion. I got lost for a while."

Although Xue Hanshu was pregnant, her complexion was not good, she had lost a lot of weight, and her eyes looked dull.

Her belly was slightly bulging. Xue Zhiyi saw that it was bigger than the three-month-old belly that the Zhao family said. This meant that the child must have been conceived before their marriage, but the Zhao family had to lie and say it was three months in order to save face.

Xue Zhiyi's guess was indeed correct. Zhao Shen found her disgusting and never touched her once after marriage. She was completely different from the gentle and affectionate him before marriage.

Looking back on the days when I was newly married, I feel so hazy and it was just like a nightmare.

It was not until she saw the note left by Youlan in her dressing table that she realized that it was Rong Xiutong who had harmed her. That damned bitch Youlan had actually run away like that.

She wanted to capture Youlan and accuse Rong Xiutong. She shouted at Zhao Shen that she was framed, but everyone, including Zhao Shen, thought she was a lunatic and no one was willing to believe her.

After a while, she stopped struggling.

I thought I would be imprisoned until death, but unexpectedly, my belly grew bigger day by day.

She was sitting with a soft gold-thread pillow behind her and a fox-skin blanket covering her.

Caressing her belly, she realized that this was her only hope.

She and Zhao Shen were in an arranged marriage, and the baby in her belly carried the blood of both the Zhao and Xue families. They would not easily divorce her. No matter how many concubines Zhao Shen took, he would not abandon this child. As long as she could give birth to a legitimate eldest son in one go, this child would ensure her prosperity for the rest of her life.

"Mom and Dad care about Shuer, so they asked me to bring some supplements. I hope Shuer can take good care of herself." Xue Zhiyi just said polite words according to the routine.

Looking at Xue Zhiyi's rosy complexion and energetic look, especially that of a young girl, Xue Hanshu felt unspeakable pain.

It was clear that she looked like this less than half a year ago, but now, she didn't even dare to look closely at the haggard and shriveled self in the mirror.

How could it be? How could it be reduced to this state?

She hated Rong Xiutong, but she also hated Xue Zhiyi. If it weren't for Xue Zhiyi's unintentional words that made her have such inappropriate thoughts, how could she be suffering from all this now?

At the same time, she suddenly felt a surge of regret in her heart: Xue Zhiyi used to be the best person to her besides her mother. At this moment, she actually expected Xue Zhiyi to comfort her and hug her like he used to...

But now, Xue Zhiyi, who was sitting in front of her, only gave her a distant and polite smile... When did they become like this?

Xue Hanshu couldn't figure it out, but she also forgot that she had planned on Xue Zhiyi and started earlier.

She felt bitter in her throat, but she also replied politely: "Thank you, Third Sister, and thank you, Father and Mother, for your concern."

At this moment, Fu Rongxin covered her nose and coughed lightly a few times.

Xue Hanshu came to her senses and asked her, "What happened to my cousin?"

Fu Rongxin smiled apologetically. She looked at the vase with plum blossoms on the table and said, "Maybe I choked on some of the plum blossom pollen. I feel a little uncomfortable."

Xue Hanshu heard this and said, "Then let's remove it."

Rong Ziying hated Fu Rongxin's hypocritical behavior and immediately contradicted her: "A few days ago in Xue's house, I saw Caizhi picking plum blossoms and putting them in a vase, saying that she wanted to put it in Taoyao Pavilion. How come she can't stand the smell now? Does Sister Rongxin dislike plum blossoms, or does she dislike the Third Young Master's wife?"

"Don't talk nonsense..." Fu Rongxin was choked and speechless.

With an unhappy look on her face, she turned to Xue Zhiyi for help: "Cousin, let's change seats. I feel uncomfortable smelling the scent of this flower."

Fu Rongxin's face was full of sincerity, but Xue Zhiyi was too familiar with her, how could he not see that she had other intentions at this moment?

However, she still wanted to see Fu Rongxin finish the whole act.

"Okay." Xue Zhiyi smiled slightly, stood up and exchanged seats with Fu Rongxin.

They clearly understood each other tacitly, but they still maintained a friendly appearance.

But at the moment of passing each other, Fu Rongxin bumped into Su Yue, and Su Yue was so scared that she quickly apologized: "Cousin, please forgive me, I didn't mean it."

Fu Rongxin was very magnanimous. He just said "no problem" and was helped by Caizhi to sit opposite him.

After everyone sat down, Xue Zhiyi glanced at Fu Rongxin calmly. Fu Rongxin picked up the cake on the table and took a sip: "My cousin, the cakes here are very unique."

Hearing this, Xue Hanshu said, "These are snacks given by the palace. I brought them out to entertain my sisters."

I heard that it was a reward from the palace, and Rong Ziying also wanted to try it.

There was a small table between the two chairs of Rong Ziying and Xue Zhiyi, with two plates of pastries on it.

Rong Ziying picked up a piece from the plate closest to her and was about to put it into her mouth.

Fu Rongxin's eyes looked here quietly.

But suddenly, Xue Zhiyi exclaimed: "Oh, where is the lip balm from, cousin? The color is so beautiful."

Rong Ziying and Xue Zhiyi had never had any conflicts, and she welcomed Xue Zhiyi's closeness.

Putting down the cake that was about to reach her mouth, Rong Ziying said, "It's not something rare. I just bought it casually in a store in Cenzhou. If you like it, I'll give you a box later."

As she spoke, she took the rouge box from Chuntao and handed it to Xue Zhiyi.

Xue Zhiyi dipped a little with his finger, spread it on the back of his hand, and sniffed it carefully: "It's the scent of gardenia, it's really good."

Fu Rongxin was so angry that her teeth almost broke. It seemed that things were about to be accomplished, but why did Xue Zhiyi mess up for no reason?

The lip balm was handed back to Chuntao for safekeeping. Rong Ziying wanted to eat the pastry again. At this moment, Fu Rongxin was so nervous that her back was tense.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a dog barking in the distance.

Xue Zhiyi cried out "Ouch!" and grabbed Rong Ziying: "Cousin, is that dark cloud coming again? I'm so scared!"

Rong Ziying dropped her cakes in shock. Seeing Xue Zhiyi panicking, although she was a little unhappy, she still stopped to comfort her: "We are so far away, don't be so startled."

This time, Fu Rongxin almost pinched her hands until they turned red.

Xue Hanshu couldn't help but complain: "My fifth sister likes to keep a dog, but she can't control the dog and always lets it run wild around the house."

After Rong Ziying finished speaking, she picked up another piece. This time, Xue Zhiyi finally stopped disturbing her and picked up a piece of cake from his plate.

At this time, Wuyun's shouting was getting closer and closer, accompanied by Zhao Lian's voice: "Wuyun, you are really ungrateful. Third sister-in-law's family is here, why are you joining in the fun?"

As she spoke, Zhao Lian walked into Xiaoxuan with the dog on a leash.

"I'm sorry, Third Sister-in-law, it was the dark cloud that insisted on joining in the fun. It loves the hustle and bustle the most. Third Sister-in-law, you won't mind, right?"

It seems that Zhao Lian was dissatisfied with Xue Hanshu, and came to save her face when she met her family.

Looking at the evil-looking Wuyun, Xue Hanshu covered her stomach with fear and said, "Fifth sister, my sisters are afraid of dogs, please take Wuyun away first!"

Xue Zhiyi also pretended to be scared and grabbed Rong Ziying's hand which was about to hold the pastry.

At the same time, she gently shook out the small ball hidden in her sleeve, and the small ball quietly fell at Rong Ziying's feet.

Suddenly, Wuyun became extremely excited, broke free from Zhao Lian like crazy, and flew towards them!
