Under Rong Ziying's puzzled gaze, Xue Zhiyi sighed again: "Auntie, do you think that if you rely on privately purchasing all your food, clothing and daily expenses, you will be safe? Little do you know that silver is a good thing. It can make ghosts work, but it can also turn people into ghosts."
Rong Ziying was stunned, her eyelids trembling with her breathing. "You mean... Fu Ling found out about the store I shopped at and bribed someone outside to attack me?!"
Xue Zhiyi quickly denied it: "Auntie misunderstood mother. I came here today to clear up the misunderstanding."
When Fu Ling was mentioned, Rong Ziying's eyes were filled with hatred, and she stared at Xue Zhiyi who was speaking for Fu Ling.
Xue Zhiyi looked embarrassed. "In fact, sometimes, to harm someone, you don't necessarily have to have a vested interest. Auntie, why don't you think about who your enemies are?"
"Are you talking about Fu Rongxin?" Rong Ziying sneered, "She's just a cousin and has nothing to do with the Xue family's interests."
"But harming her enemy to this state makes her feel very happy." Xue Zhiyi asked her in return: "Sometimes, harming others is just to vent anger, isn't it?"
Seeing Rong Ziying frowning and looking suspicious, Xue Zhiyi continued, "In fact, although mother has reasons to harm you, if anything happens to you, she will be the most suspicious. Why would she do such a suspicious thing? It's Fu Rongxin..."
Xue Zhiyi snorted coldly, "Not only has she snatched my mother's love from me, she has also repeatedly disturbed the Xue family's peace. However, my mother has been bewitched by her and is unwilling to send her away. I told my aunt about this for the sake of the Xue family's future peace. I hope my aunt will not wrongly hate my mother and allow the real murderer to continue to cause trouble in the Xue family."
Hearing this, Rong Ziying looked at Xue Zhiyi with increasing suspicion. "Sanniang, you think I'm a fool, and you want to use me to get rid of the thorn in your side. How can I believe you for all these things?"
At this point, Xue Zhiyi lowered his voice: "If I didn't have evidence, I wouldn't be here."
As she spoke, she pulled out a small scrap of cloth from her sleeve. "The night my aunt had a miscarriage, I saw Caizhi secretly burning something. Feeling guilty, she ran away before the food was completely burned. I felt very suspicious at the time, so I quietly left a small piece of cloth behind."
Rong Ziying took the rag with her limp hands and was immediately dumbfounded: "This is... the pajamas I wore on the day I had a miscarriage! Why did she burn this..."
Xue Zhiyi shook his head: "That's all I'll say. You can check the rest yourself, lest I say too much and make you distrust me."
Clutching the rag, Rong Ziying's breathing rose and fell, her pale face turned even paler with excitement, and tears began to fall down.
After finishing what needed to be said, Xue Zhiyi stood up and said, "Don't be too angry, Auntie. There is still a long way to go. You should take good care of yourself so that you can continue to give birth to children for your father."
After saying that, without waiting for Rong Ziying to speak again, she turned and left.
Rong Ziying's eyes were red and she was stunned.
Chun Tao advised her: "Auntie, please don't let Third Miss instigate you into doing anything foolish! We have finally settled down in Huajing, what if..."
"I know."
Rong Ziying's hair was disheveled and she struggled to sit up. Chuntao was startled and quickly helped her up.
Looking at the direction where Xue Zhiyi left, she laughed coldly: "No one in Anxianju is innocent. Whether Fu Ling and Fu Rongxin want to harm me or Xue Zhiyi wants to use me, as long as Anxianju doesn't fall, I will never have peace!"
"But aunt...how can we defeat those people?" Chuntao said, and couldn't help crying.
Rong Ziying stiffened her neck and sneered, "At a time like this, there are naturally people who want them dead more than I do!"
…
Xue Tingliu didn't expect Rong Ziying to come to him.
Rong Ziying was seen wearing a thick cloak, wrapped tightly, but she looked pale, weak, and about to collapse.
Xue Tingliu was afraid that she would die in Hongyingzhai, so he said coldly, "Sit down."
Rong Ziying then sat down tremblingly.
"What brings my aunt here?" Xue Tingliu still holds a grudge, so naturally, she couldn't give Rong Ziying a good look at this moment.
Perhaps because she couldn't bear the nonsense any more, Rong Ziying got straight to the point: "Do you want to deal with those people from Anxianju?"
Hearing this, Xue Tingliu raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "Did Auntie's brain also disappear along with the stillborn baby? Is it appropriate for us to discuss cooperation now?"
Rong Ziying was so excited when she heard this that her lower abdomen ached again. However, business was more important. She suppressed her anger and said, "Now there is an opportunity to deal with An Xianju. It depends on whether you want to seize it or not."
Xue Tingliu suddenly became curious about what kind of waves Rong Ziying, this dead fish, could possibly stir up. "Keep going."
Rong Ziying said, "We can no longer consider our relationship as relatives, but we have a common enemy. You want the people in Anxianju to die. Only when they die can you take sole control of the Xue family, and I can save my life!"
After Rong Ziying finished explaining the whole story to Xue Tingliu, a calculating smile finally appeared on his face: "This is quite interesting."
…
After returning to Jiangxuexuan, Xue Zhiyi leaned on the chaise longue, completely exhausted.
She hadn't slept well these past few days, and from last night to this morning, she had been busy with Xue Runing's funeral.
Looking at the empty table in Jiangxuexuan, Xue Runing's former figure could no longer be seen... Xue Zhiyi felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Qiuyun said distressedly: "Miss, you can lean here and take a rest for a while. I will call you when the meal is ready."
But she straightened herself up and sat up, and said to Su Yue who was packing her clothes: "Su Yue, close the door."
