The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Qingyunzhai.

Ever since he divorced Rong Xiutong and had a falling out with Fu Ling, the only one who could serve Xue Zhentong was the once unknown Concubine Chun.

As it was a rare opportunity to be favored, Aunt Chun served even more diligently.

Xue Zhentong was busy handling official business by lamplight, and Aunt Chun was by his side serving him with writing.

But even so, looking at Aunt Chun's dull face, he still felt a little annoyed.

It's time to pick someone new.

Thinking of this, he said to Aunt Chun, "I will sleep in Qingyunzhai tonight. You are tired too, go back."

Aunt Chun was used to being submissive, so she just nodded when she heard this: "Then Master, please have a rest early, don't get too tired."

After saying that, he walked out.

Rong Ziying came at this time.

She bowed to Xue Zhentong and said, "Uncle."

Xue Zhentong was a little surprised. He didn't have a deep impression of Rong Xiutong's niece. Since the Rong family wanted her to marry to Huajing, he didn't mind spending some time to choose a marriage that would be useful to him.

But he didn't expect that this girl would dare to spread rumors about Rongxin in Bodhi Temple. This is absolutely unacceptable. Not to mention that Rongxin is his biological daughter, she has the fate of a phoenix and is of great use. How could anything go wrong for this?

In this matter, he and Fu Ling had the same interests and ideas, and both felt that Rong Ziying should be sent back to Cenzhou.

But he didn't expect Rong Ziying to come to see him at night.

"Ziying, if there's anything, just send someone to tell me. Why are you here so late at night?"

Rong Ziying raised her eyebrows, as if she had just cried. She choked up a little: "Ziying knows that she is of low status and has always been outspoken. She didn't expect to upset Madam. Ziying felt deeply guilty and wanted to apologize to Madam and say goodbye before returning to Cenzhou. But Madam was still angry and refused to see Ziying. Ziying had no choice but to come here and say goodbye to her uncle."

Xue Zhentong walked over, shaking his round belly.

Rong Ziying cried pitifully: "My uncle is so kind that he allowed me to come to Huajing to see the world. Even though I wanted to stay longer, I was not good enough and had to be sent back in such a miserable way. I regret it, but unfortunately I have no chance to change it."

Rong Ziying was wearing a light pink dress, which was a bit thin in the dead of winter and made her figure look a bit thin.

Xue Zhentong looked down at her. Although she was not as beautiful as Rong Xiutong when she was young, she was so young and healthy, like a wild flower picked from the countryside.

Not knowing what he was thinking of, he raised his hand, supported Rong Ziying's shoulder and stood up: "You said you don't want to go back?"

Hearing this, Rong Ziying raised her tearful eyes in panic, glanced at him, and quickly lowered her head: "Yes... Uncle treats Ziying very well. Ziying wants to stay in Huajing, in the Xue family."

Xue Zhentong did not withdraw his hand that was supporting her, but instead stroked along her arm and then to her fingers little by little.

Rong Ziying shrank back in shame, but did not break free: "Uncle... I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Xue Zhentong, who hadn't had a good rest for a long time, was unwilling to give up this youthful aura at this moment. His hand tightened a little: "I have no relationship with your aunt now, why do you still call me uncle?"

"I..." She blushed: "Yes, Master..."

She lowered her head, feeling secretly happy in her heart. She should have thought of Xue Zhentong earlier. Why bother to fight with Xue Tingsheng?

If she stayed in the Xue family, she would be no different from a concubine. She was the Minister of Revenue, a high-ranking official. How glorious would it be if she was transferred back to Cenzhou?

If her aunt could hook up with someone, why couldn't she?

……

"What did you say?"

In Jiangxuexuan, facing Hubai, Xue Zhiyi almost couldn't hold the teacup in his hand.

"You mean Rong Ziying and... my father?"

Hu Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, Miss San heard it right."

Xue Zhiyi couldn't tell what his mood was for a moment.

She did intend to remind Rong Ziying that the pastries were poisonous that day, but she didn't expect that Rong Ziying would be so frightened by Fu Rongxin's poison. It was like a desperate dog.

There is a 20-year age difference between these two people, and there is also a generation gap between them. Yet her beastly father was able to do this to her. They are truly a match made in heaven.

Xue Zhiyi wanted to ask them if they had ever performed the Zhougong ceremony, but when he thought of the two little girls Qiuyun and Suyue, he changed his question to a more tactful way: "Is there any room for them to redeem themselves now?"

Hu Bai thought for a moment and said, "The die is cast."

Xue Zhiyi heard Qiuyun and Suyue gasp in surprise.

I thought there would be some excitement when Rong Ziying came in, but I didn't expect this excitement to be... too excitement.

If Fu Ling knew about this, he would probably lose half his life.

After calming down a little, Xue Zhiyi asked again: "Is this second brother's idea?"

Hu Bai shook his head: "The Second Young Master doesn't know about this."

Xue Zhiyi thought to himself: Now it's not just Fu Ling, I'm afraid Xue Tingliu and Rong Xiutong will also go crazy for a while.

"Hide it from him first." Xue Zhiyi said, "Don't let Second Brother know about this first."

Xue Tingliu originally wanted to find someone to help his mother return to the Xue family, but he wanted to cut off Rong Xiutong's chance of returning. Given his personality, he would probably have to kill Rong Ziying to silence her before she officially married into the family.

After sending Hu Bai away, Su Yue said anxiously, "Miss, you should tell your wife about this right away, okay?"

In Su Yue's opinion, no matter how strained the relationship between the young lady and the lady is, they should be united when facing the matter of Rong Xiutong and Xue Tingliu.

But for some reason, her young lady was not anxious at all, and was even a little excited.

"Don't worry about it." She said, "Dad wants to marry someone new, how can I, as a daughter, stop him?"

Su Yue was even more confused. Not only that, why did the young lady's expression become more excited?

Xue Zhiyi did not explain further, but only told Qiuyun to keep an eye on the movements of Zhefangyuan.

……

The New Year is only a few days away, and the Xue Mansion is decorated with lights and colorful decorations in preparation for the New Year.

People from the Rong family also arrived, but Rong Ziying claimed that she was sick again and could not get out of bed. Even if the Rong family came, they would have to wait until her health improved a little.

A few days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was New Year's Eve.

Xue Zhiyi took a bath, changed his clothes, and changed into new year clothes.

The long jacket was bright red with a light brown velvet edge and was embroidered with a round blessing in gold thread. It matched the light gold floral skirt very well. When worn on Xue Zhiyi, it did not seem out of place because of her slightly childish face. Instead, it made her look festive and noble.

While dressing up, Su Yue said, "Miss, I heard that the second young lady was released to celebrate the New Year."

Speaking of which, during the days that Xue Panrou was under house arrest, people almost forgot that there was such a person in the Xue family.

Xue Zhiyi just smiled and said, "Xue Tingliu will be used for Xue Panrou's marriage sooner or later, so shouldn't we find a chance to release her? The New Year is a ready-made opportunity. After all, Dad has loved her for so many years, and he still can't bear to let her be locked up for the New Year."

At this moment, Qiuyun came back. As soon as she came back, she lowered her voice in Xue Zhiyi's ear, causing Su Yue to come over and listen: "Miss, I have already asked Miss Rong's doctor."

Rong Ziying has been recuperating from an illness recently and has been inviting doctors in every few days. Xue Zhiyi asked Qiuyun to go and find out the news.

Xue Zhiyi asked her: "What happened?"

Qiuyun said: "It's just as you guessed."

Xue Zhiyi raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I understand."

"Also." Qiuyun added: "Miss Rong has consulted a doctor again today."

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi smiled, and he and Qiuyun looked at each other and smiled: "That's perfect."

Su Yue listened, somewhat confused: "What did you say?"

Xue Zhiyi poked her chubby cheek and said, "I said I would give you red envelopes."

As she spoke, she took out two red paper packages from the drawer and gave them to the two of them.

The two took it and said in unison: "Miss, may you be safe and sound every year and may everything go well with you!"
