The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Suddenly, Xue Zhiyi looked at Fu Rongxin and said, "Rongxin, what do you mean?"

Fu Rongxin's smile deepened: "I just think that Su Yue looks well-behaved and hardworking on weekdays, and doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing."

As if he had seen through her intentions, the hatred in Xue Zhiyi's eyes intensified: "Su Yue is someone close to me. I am naturally more familiar with her character than Rong Xin. She has been doing this for a long time. In the past, I turned a blind eye to it because of our friendship. Today, I just realized that the wind rises from the tip of the green duckweed and the waves are born from the ripples. It was my carelessness in the past that led to today's misunderstanding. How can I hide it for her again?"

After that, she bowed to Xue Zhentong and said, "If father doesn't believe me, you can search Su Yue's house. There must be stolen money and stolen goods left behind."

Upon hearing this, Su Yue was even more frightened: "No, Miss! Su Yue doesn't dare anymore! I have served you for more than ten years... Please, Miss, have mercy on me!"

But Xue Zhiyi just let her grab the hem of her skirt and shake it, without even looking at her again.

After hearing this, Fu Rongxin was also confused... What was Xue Zhiyi doing? Could it be that today was really a misunderstanding caused by Su Yue's theft?

How is it possible! This group of jackals, tigers and leopards, thousand-year-old foxes and ten-thousand-year-old turtles are all experts in stirring up trouble. How could there be any misunderstanding? ?

Seeing her firm words, Xue Zhen said, "Hubai, have someone search."

Seeing that her prayers were in vain, Su Yue could only curl up her body, bury her head and cry miserably.

The more Fu Rong thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, but Xue Zhiyi just lowered his eyes and said nothing, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

She was not the only one who felt something was wrong. Fu Ling and Xue Tingliu also found it extremely strange.

Could it be that there is something else in Jiangxuexuan that Xue Zhiyi is hoping Xue Zhentong will find out?

After a while, Hu Bai came back with his men. He said, "Master, I did find some jewelry in Su Yue's room, but I don't know if these were gifts from the Third Miss or if Su Yue took them secretly."

Xue Zhiyi looked at the things Hu Bai was holding and sneered, "Su Yue, you are so useless. You stole some worthless chalcedony and colored glaze and exchanged them for a dozen taels of silver... Have I ever deducted money from you?"

Su Yue was so scared that she didn't dare to raise her head. She just lowered her head and cried, "I am greedy and timid. I only dared to take these cheap jewelry... Please, young lady, spare me because the stolen money is not much!"

"You..." Xue Zhiyi was so disappointed that he said angrily, "You are a thief by nature, how can I let you go easily!"

"Miss, do you really not want to stay for a month?" she pleaded.

Xue Zhiyi just turned his face away and ignored her.

Seeing Su Yue pestering her endlessly, Qiu Yun said, "You ignored the young lady's love and acted improperly. How dare you embarrass the young lady now? Do you know that the young lady was almost wronged because of you today?"

But seeing that Su Yue had lost hope, she was immediately filled with resentment. She glared at Qiu Yun: "Qiu Yun, how good are you? How dare you say that to me!"

She was unwilling to accept this, and kowtowed to Xue Zhiyi: "Miss, if you leave me, who else do you have around you? What I did, didn't Qiuyun do it?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yun immediately knelt down and said, "Miss, please be careful. This is slander!"

But Xue Zhiyi looked at them in disbelief: "Tell me clearly, what does this mean?"

Su Yue looked at Qiu Yun and sneered, "I have long discovered that Qiu Yun is also secretly selling off Miss's things!"

Qiu Yun refuted her: "You and I live in the same room. If I had any stolen goods during the search just now, I would have been discovered long ago!"

Su Yue glared at her fiercely: "You hid it well! I saw with my own eyes that you buried the young lady's tiger-eye stone filigree ring in the northwest corner of Jiangxuexuan, just waiting for the opportunity to go out so that you can sell it quietly!"

Qiu Yun panicked immediately: "Miss...I don't have it!"

Seeing this, Xue Zhiyi looked at Qiuyun in disbelief and grief: "Is it my ring that I can never find?"

Su Yue replied: "That's right!"

Xue Zhiyi endured the pain in his heart and ordered, "Hubai, since your father asked you to search, then please go and see if there is really such a thing in the northwest corner of Jiangxuexuan."

Hu Baizun said yes and left.

Several people in the room looked at the master and his two servants and were all stunned.

This matter is abnormal in every way, but it is really hard to guess what Xue Zhiyi's purpose is this time...

If Xue Zhiyi wasn't crazy and was madly taking the blame on his own people, then it was that Xue Zhiyi really had a fire in his backyard and his trusted men had done something wrong.

If this is true...it is really indescribable and weird.

Fu Rongxin came back to her senses: No matter what, we should get rid of Xue Zhiyi's confidants first. Isn't this a heavy blow to her?

Thinking of this, she said, "Aunt, if this is the case, the Xue family should clean up their mess. It would not be too much to kill such a petty thief."

"Fu Rongxin!" Xue Zhiyi choked up, "It's not your turn to make the decision at Jiangxuexuan yet."

Seeing this, Fu Rongxin showed a proud look on her face: "This is also for the good of my cousin. Otherwise, how can I sleep peacefully with such a person around me?"

At this time, Hu Bai came back: "Master, I really found some valuables under the corner of the wall, and the soil did show signs of being turned over recently."

Hearing this, Fu Rongxin smiled: "Look, cousin, the evidence is irrefutable. Even if you want to keep them, they are working in the Xue family. You can be assured, but the other people in the Xue family are worried. Who knows if something important will be lost one day? It will ruin your reputation."

Xue Zhentong also agreed: "Such a slave should be properly dealt with."

Qiuyun and Suyue begged for mercy immediately.

At this moment, Xue Zhiyi finally lost her composure and knelt down: "Father and mother, please spare their lives, just for the sake of my elder brother's success in the imperial examination!"

Finally seeing such an embarrassed and frustrated look on Xue Zhiyi's face, Fu Rongxin felt extremely happy. She took advantage of the victory and continued: "Such a lenient way of letting him go is telling all the servants of the Xue family that stealing is not a crime and that they can be let off easily just by asking for mercy?"

Xue Zhiyi bowed her head and kowtowed: "I dare not beg my father and mother to let them go. Even if my father and mother are willing, I dare not keep them. However, the things they stole are really not worth much silver. If it gets out, the Xue family will beat the servants to death for a dozen taels of silver. I am afraid that my father's reputation will be ruined!"

Xue Zhentong remained silent: This matter is not a big deal. The Xue family has never had a precedent of beating someone to death for such a thing.

Fu Ling was also thinking about it. What Xue Zhiyi said didn't make sense. The Spring Examination was just around the corner, and it was indeed not right for any unpleasant news to be spread at this time.

Seeing that they were wavering, Xue Zhiyi said, "The Xue family has never lacked servants to serve us. I don't want to keep people like this around me anymore. At worst, I can just drive them out and sell them to someone else. This is better than killing them!"

Fu Ling couldn't stand Xue Zhiyi, nor could she stand the people around her, so it would be good if she could deal with them... and by getting rid of these two, she could place her own people close to Xue Zhiyi.

Since Mother Qiao's death, she had not been able to get any real news about Xue Zhiyi for a long time, which made her wonder when her adopted daughter became so rebellious.

Thinking of this, Fu Ling said, "Since you have asked for mercy, our Xue family is not a bloodthirsty family. Send him away and have nothing to do with the Xue family from now on."

When they heard that they were going to be kicked out, Qiu Yun and Su Yue's bodies went limp, and the two of them collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

Xue Zhiyi also couldn't stop crying: "Zhiyi thanks father and mother for their generosity..."
