Fu Rongxin, Xue Zhiyi's mortal enemy in two lives, if nothing unexpected happens, this time he will be completely done with her.
"Fu Rongxin?" Huo Wuyou asked, "The evidence is irrefutable and conclusive, and the Linzhou Fu family has absolutely no intention of rescuing him. According to the law, he has been sentenced to death by hanging, and the execution will probably take place this month."
"That's a good deal for her." Xue Zhiyi's voice was calm, but with a chilling sinister tone.
In her previous life, she was also strangled to death, but her death was much more tragic than this.
She was tortured in prison, even her spine was broken, and she died like a puddle of mud in Fu Rongxin's hands.
Now it seems that everything has returned to Fu Rongxin.
It can be said that everything will be rewarded in the end.
The bad debt that Fu Rongxin owed her can finally be settled with his death.
Seeing that Huo Wuyou was staring at her without blinking, he seemed to be more curious about the flickering emotions in her eyes.
Xue Zhiyi just raised his lips and said, "Don't be surprised, Marquis Lin'an. I'm just a puppet chosen by the Xue family to protect Fu Rongxin from disaster. They didn't expect that they would find an evil star like me to take the lives of their entire family."
After staring at her for a moment, Huo Wuyou leaned against the window and smiled leisurely: "You are so lucky, they can't bear it."
The brief glance made Xue Zhiyi smile inadvertently: He is quite good at comforting people.
"It was Aunt Mei." Huo Wuyou shook his head. "She confessed her guilt, saying that she helped Fu Ling to steal the girl and switch the baby. She also insisted that you were from the Fu family."
"I won't go to the Fu family." Xue Zhiyi said.
Seeing her cold face again, Huo Wuyou tapped her head with his finger: "Don't worry, your current official status has nothing to do with the Fu family or the Xue family."
"Thank you." Xue Zhiyi knew that Huo Wuyou's efforts were indispensable during this process.
He tilted his head and looked at Xue Zhiyi: "Don't be polite, with our relationship, how can you say thank you?"
Xue Zhiyi raised his eyebrows to look at him, but he said as if it was a matter of course: "After all, we are friends who have risked our lives together, right?"
“…” Xue Zhiyi remained silent, but did not deny it.
Seeing this, Huo Wuyou felt happy again. Looking at the bright spring light under the four-cornered sky, he felt it was particularly pleasant.
"Go on." Xue Zhiyi's voice brought his scattered thoughts back to normal.
After thinking for a while, he remembered the important matter he hadn't finished talking about just now: "To secretly replace someone else's child like this, the only punishment is imprisonment, but Mei Gu admitted that she helped Fu Rongxin to poison the child, and the maidservant beside Fu Rongxin was unaware of it and had nothing to do with the matter. She has been acquitted."
"How could this happen?" Xue Zhiyi was confused. "Why would she confess to such a murder?"
Huo Wuyou spread his hands and said, "I don't know. She hanged herself on the night she confessed. There was no sign of anyone entering the prison. It must have been suicide."
“Dead?!”
Why would someone who could have avoided death confess so resolutely? And why would he willingly accept death under the charge?
"Is she protecting someone?" Xue Zhiyi asked.
"Maybe." Huo Wuyou thought for a moment and said, "I will continue to investigate this matter outside the palace."
Xue Zhiyi didn't know what he was thinking about, and his heart tightened.
There was one question she had been avoiding the entire time.
Looking at Xue Zhiyi's unconsciously clenched fingers, Huo Wuyou seemed to guess what she was thinking.
His tone slowed down and became cautious. "As for the Tang family, Hua Jing's affairs have been kept secret. A few days ago, Madam Tang gave birth to the Tang family's eldest grandson. I'm afraid Tang Jinglei will keep these things secret until she is one month old."
Thinking of this, Xue Zhiyi felt his heart being violently kneaded.
If she were to say from beginning to end, the only person she always felt she owed was Xue Ruoyu.
The Xue family deserves to die, all of them deserve to die... But why is Xue Ruoyu the daughter of Xue Zhentong and Fu Ling?
She is kind and compassionate. She is the only kind person left in the Xue family and one of the few people in Xue Zhiyi's two lives who can make her feel the love of family.
Seeing Xue Zhiyi in a daze, his eyes were red, and his eyelashes were trembling, he seemed to be in unbearable pain.
"Zhi Yi." He sighed. "That day on the way to the palace, you asked me to help you strictly prevent the news from reaching Jiangzhou. That's why Madam Tang was not frightened before giving birth. Now that I've been able to save them and their child, I've already done my best."
Xue Zhiyi closed his eyes and suppressed the trembling in his eyes.
She couldn't use Huo Wuyou's words to excuse herself. Some things were done and that's it.
But she would not regret what she had done. Now that things had come to this, it was she who had sent Xue Ruoyu's flesh and blood to her death. This was an irreversible fact.
As for Xue Ruoyu, she was repaying kindness with enmity.
Xue Ruoyu would hate her, hate her to the core, but she accepted it and was willing to bear the consequences of this matter.
When she opened her eyes again, they were clear, as if all her thoughts were suppressed deep in her heart.
Now is not the time to be sad, she still has a lot of things to do.
When the day comes when she has to face Xue Ruoyu, she is willing to bear all the consequences of her actions.
She, Xue Zhiyi, feels guilty but has no regrets.
She looked at Huo Wuyou sincerely again. Before she could speak, Huo Wuyou nodded her head again: "Don't thank me."
Xue Zhiyi couldn't help but chuckle as his words were stuck in his mouth. He was about to ask something, but Huo Wuyou predicted it in advance: "Don't worry, I've taken care of everything you asked me to do, including Yuzhi. As a maid of the Xue family, she was sold off during the house raid. I bought her and sent her to Miss Shen. She has already reunited with An'er."
After saying that, he stretched slowly and said, "How about going out of the palace to take a look?"
Xue Zhiyi reminded him: "Female officials cannot leave the palace at will."
Huo Wuyou wanted to touch her head again, but Xue Zhiyi was prepared in advance. She clicked her tongue and stopped him.
Huo Wuyou withdrew his hand somewhat boredly: "But according to palace rules, the Queen Mother can send people out of the palace. Besides, we are going there to do business."
As he spoke, he folded his arms and leaned closer, asking curiously, "You asked Chuizhu to tell my people that there's something important you want me to do. What's it?"
Although Chuizhu was just a eunuch who could not enter and leave the palace at will, there were still imperial doctors and guards who could enter and leave the palace. Among these people, there were Huo Wuyou's own eyes and ears.
Xue Zhiyi only smiled mysteriously: "Of course it's because of what I promised the Marquis before. If I don't keep it, wouldn't it be a shame for the Marquis to run around for me?"
…
Somewhere in a corner of Jianzhang Palace.
Tu Lanying stood here straight, her forehead covered with sweat from exhaustion, and her eyes were filled with resentment.
"How long shall I stand?"
Chai Yue said, "You have spoken without restraint, and have already violated the palace rules. It is the Marquis of Lin'an who has ordered you to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes. This is already a light punishment. Just stand there for two hours and think it over. Don't do it again next time."
