Sure enough, Xue Zhiyi’s familiarity was not an illusion.
Huo Wuyou did indeed silently take a half step forward, staggering his body with Xue Zhiyi, shielding her slightly behind him, and then cautiously asked the woman, "Who are you?"
The woman asked him in a daze: "Do you know anyone from the Xue family?"
"Tell me who you are first." Huo Wuyou asked.
The woman's eyes turned red, and she said anxiously, "My name is Su Mian, and I'm from the Fu family!"
"From the Fu family?" Xue Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "Are you Aunt Su?"
Fu Rongxin's nominal biological mother, Fu Wei's concubine, Aunt Su.
No wonder she felt familiar. When she was young, she went back to the Fu family with Fu Ling, and it was at that time that she met Aunt Su.
But Linzhou is not close to Huajing, how could Aunt Su find Huajing alone?
Seeing that Xue Zhiyi knew her, Aunt Su became even more excited. She knelt down tremblingly and reached out to pull Xue Zhiyi.
Huo Wuyou stood in front of her, separating the two of them.
Seeing this, Aunt Su hurriedly explained: "I just want to know what happened to Rongxin. If you know where the rest of the Xue family is, please tell me, please!"
Huo Wuyou turned around and looked at her: "What are you going to do?"
After thinking for a while, Xue Zhiyi said, "Let's find a place to talk first."
Xue Zhiyi didn't want to take her to Xue Runing's place, so he just found a private room in the teahouse and sat down with Aunt Su.
Arriving at the teahouse, Aunt Su looked at Xue Zhiyi eagerly and said, "I only heard that there were still people from the Xue family living in that alley, so I went there to take a look. If you know them, young lady, could you let me meet them?"
Xue Zhiyi simply took off her veil and said, "Madam Su, do you still remember me? I am Xue Zhiyi."
Instantly, Aunt Su's eyes widened: "Third Miss...it's you!"
She looked at Xue Zhiyi, her eyes trembling: "What happened to Rong Xin? Why do people say she killed someone? Where is she now?"
Xue Zhiyi thought about it and decided to conceal Fu Rongxin's whereabouts: "She did commit murder and has been strangled."
Aunt Su was stunned, the last bit of hope in her eyes was shattered, her lips trembled, and she covered her face and cried uncontrollably.
Xue Zhiyi didn't say anything, just waited for her to finish crying.
Raising her red and swollen eyes, Aunt Su looked at Xue Zhiyi, her voice still a little hoarse: "I begged Master to save her, but why did Master say Rongxin is not the daughter of the Fu family? They all said that you and Rongxin were mixed up when you were born. What's going on? Is Rongxin really not my child?"
Xue Zhiyi simply said truthfully, "Fu Rongxin is indeed Fu Ling's daughter. Xue Zhentong, Fu Ling, and Fu Wei personally planned the exchange to help Fu Rongxin escape disaster."
Aunt Su's eyes flashed: "Then you..."
"I'm not your child either." Xue Zhiyi said.
Aunt Su's mouth moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Xue Zhiyi said, "Although Fu Ling gave you her daughter in exchange, I was also stolen by her from somewhere else because my fate was suitable for protecting Fu Rongxin from disaster. As for where your biological child went, I don't know."
Aunt Su's eyelashes trembled, and she covered her chest with her hands: "Does Rong Xin know about this?"
Xue Zhiyi hummed: "She has known since she was a child that she is the child of Xue Zhentong and Fu Ling."
In an instant, Aunt Su burst into tears. She clutched the collar of her clothes at her chest, as if something was drilling inside, making her feel like she was dying.
"Back then..."
She seemed unable to speak in pain.
"When I gave birth, my master told me that my daughter was extremely weak and that even with treatment, she might not be able to recover. The Fu family doesn't lack a weak concubine's daughter..."
Her voice choked with sobs. "He's obviously a millionaire, so why doesn't he want his own daughter? I don't understand! I knelt down and begged him, but he still took my child away!"
At this point, Aunt Su had already burst into tears.
"Unexpectedly, half a month later, the master suddenly brought the child back home, saying that the child was lucky and had been saved by the doctor, and asked me to take good care of him. I didn't think much of it at the time..."
She cried until her voice was hoarse: "I thought Rongxin was alienated from me because her status as a concubine's daughter was a burden to her. I have felt guilty for so many years... I treated her as my own daughter and gave her everything for so many years! They all deceived me! They deceived me and made me suffer so much!"
She desperately asked, "Where on earth did my child go?!"
Xue Zhiyi listened and felt very upset.
How many people have they harmed for this so-called Phoenix Life?
Xue Zhiyi said nothing and just poured her a cup of tea. Aunt Su was tired of crying, so she took the steaming tea and stared at the steaming tea with her eyes wide open.
It wasn't until some time had passed that Aunt Su looked at Xue Zhiyi again: "Third Miss."
Her voice was horribly hoarse.
"The Fu family locked me up, and I escaped secretly. They will definitely catch me back. Please don't tell them that I saw you today."
Xue Zhiyi nodded: "We won't tell anyone."
"Thank you..." Her voice was tired. "If my child were still alive, he would be the same age as you."
She smiled bitterly: "But I know that she most likely died shortly after giving birth, otherwise how could there be room for Fu Rongxin?"
Xue Zhiyi's eyes showed some reluctance, and he only asked her: "What are your plans for the future, Aunt Su?"
Aunt Su just looked out the window, stunned for a moment, with an unclear look in her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"have no idea."
She said, "I used to live in confusion, hoping my daughter would have a good home. Now that I live in clarity and clarity, I don't know what else I can hope for."
After saying this, she stood up and bowed to Xue Zhiyi: "Miss Third, I hope you can find a true lover, and not end up like me."
Xue Zhiyi stood up and returned the greeting: "Thank you for your kind words."
After Aunt Su left, Xue Zhiyi was still in a low mood. She didn't know whether her relatives were still alive or whether she could really find them.
Huo Wuyou asked her, "Do you think Aunt Su will just let it go?"
After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's hard to say. After all, people have to find something to keep themselves alive."
Thinking of something, she asked, "But how did she find her way from Linzhou to Huajing all by herself? From what she just said, it seems the Fu family is also in Huajing?"
Huo Wuyou said, "I was just about to tell you about this."
Before meeting Aunt Su, Huo Wuyou seemed to be about to talk about something about the Fu family.
He only said: "After losing the Ministry of Revenue, Gu Shichong needs a new tool to make money. Without the protection of the Xue family, the Fu family naturally needs to find a new backer."
Xue Zhiyi sneered: "So they colluded with each other and hit it off immediately."
"That's right." He said, "Under Gu Shichong's arrangement, the Fu family is now a royal merchant, and is considered a half-official family. A few days ago, the whole family was ordered to move to Huajing."
He smiled and shook his head: "Without the Xue family that he used to rely on, Fu Wei has risen step by step. Madam Fu has been busy finding marriages for her children recently. It's a time of joy for the whole family. No wonder they have no time to care about Aunt Su, so she ran away on her own."
