After all the wedding affairs were concluded, the Fu family should have gone home. However, since the wedding, Fu Rongxin had fallen ill briefly, so Fu Ling kept her home on the pretext of seeing a doctor. He said that the doctors in Huajing were knowledgeable and that keeping her would be beneficial to her condition.
But this caused Xue Zhiyi to be in trouble.
Because Xue Ruoyu was only a little over a month pregnant, Tang Jinglei had already informed the Tang family in Jiangzhou and planned to wait until the baby was stable in Huajing before returning.
If Fu Rongxin was not there, then Xue Ruoyu would naturally have stayed. After all, the mountains were high and the roads were long, with many twists and turns, which was really hard for a pregnant woman.
But Fu Rongxin harbored evil intentions, and Xue Zhiyi couldn't guarantee that Fu Rongxin wouldn't do anything else during the pregnancy.
Looking at the rustling autumn wind outside the window of Jiangxuexuan, Xue Zhiyi's face remained calm, but he had secretly made a plan in his heart: Xue Ruoyu and Fu Rongxin cannot be under the same roof.
She had to think of a way that would definitely not hurt Xue Ruoyu.
"Qiuyun." she called.
Qiuyun responded, "Miss, what are your instructions?"
"My eldest sister is staying in Huajing. I'm worried that the people in the mansion can't take good care of her. Please go over and take care of her for me for a while."
Qiuyun is Xue Zhiyi's person. Logically, the eldest lady has her own servants, and the lady will also make other arrangements. It seems a bit strange for Qiuyun to go there.
But even though she was confused, she still agreed to Xue Zhiyi's meaning: "Yes."
But Xue Zhiyi suddenly grabbed her hand, his expression extremely serious: "No matter what happens, you must remember it carefully and tell me everything."
Seeing her seriousness, Qiu Yun nodded seriously: "Yes, Qiu Yun obeys."
…
Suburbs of Beijing.
Although Zhuangzi would not let Miss Xue starve or freeze, he was certainly not as wealthy as the Xue family.
Xue Panrou looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and the mole on her chin was shaking with anger.
"I've run out of my usual perfume! This damn place is so far away, there's no village or store. I can't even buy some fine powder. My face is so rough!"
She grabbed a wooden comb and smashed it against the window. The window paper, which was already covered with cobwebs, was torn to pieces, and she smashed a hole in it.
"What the hell is this place! I can't stand it! I feel itchy all over as soon as I walk in! Do I really have to stay here for half a year?"
"Miss……"
Linglong, the maid who was sent here to serve together, was still bright and beautiful when she came, but now her clothes were stained with indelible stains, and her hair had become dry and looked extremely messy.
But she could only be patient and carefully comfort her: "I fetch water for you to bathe every day. Now that the weather is cold, there are no mosquitoes, so why are you itchy? It's just that you are irritated."
Upon hearing this, Xue Panrou flew into a rage: "I asked you to fetch water, and you still have complaints? You stupid girl, serving me is your life!"
Linglong could only mumble, "How dare I?"
Xue Panrou didn't want to pay attention to her and smashed the box of greasy and cheap ointment.
When he thought of that shameless bitch Xue Hanshu, who had usurped her position and enjoyed the Zhao family's immense wealth for her, he wished he could return to Huajing and cut that little bitch into pieces! And Xue Zhiyi, why did he send her such a ridiculous gift of Yunjin?
At this moment, a maid came hurriedly to announce: "Second Miss, the second young master is here!"
Xue Panrou, who was originally full of anger, suddenly smiled happily: "Is my brother coming to pick me up?"
She didn't care about her manners and ran out of the door, and saw Xue Tingliu standing next to the carriage, with his arms folded, looking at her.
"Brother!" Xue Panrou burst into tears and sobbed loudly. She ran all the way to his side: "Brother, why are you here? Are you here to take me home?"
Just as Xue Panrou was about to hug him, Xue Tingliu clicked his tongue and pressed her head to stop her: "Can I still let that old woman Fu Ling hold me captive?"
He may dislike this sister, but he knows the difference between close and distant relatives. Fu Ling wants to bully someone under his wing? It's simply wishful thinking.
He also knew his importance in the Xue family. As long as he was willing to plead, such a trivial matter would not be worth mentioning.
Glancing at Xue Panrou's miserable appearance, she looked really pitiful.
He sighed: "Let's go, get in the car."
…
Xue Mansion, corridor.
From here, across the lake, you can see the eaves of the temple roof from afar.
Xue Zhiyi was a little dazed.
What did Fu Rongxin want to say when she asked him to meet her in the Buddhist temple that day?
Where was Fu Rongxin when the princess fell into the water? Was she still in the Buddhist temple?
What does it have to do with the princess falling into the water?
But when she secretly went to the Buddhist temple to investigate the next day, she found nothing.
While daydreaming, Xue Zhiyi suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Looking over, I saw that it was Xue Tingliu and Xue Panrou, brother and sister. Judging from their direction, they must have just come from the gate.
Xue Panrou is back as expected. I’m afraid Fu Ling will be in great pain again in the days to come.
They both saw her too.
From a distance, I don’t know what Xue Tingliu and Xue Panrou said to each other, but Xue Panrou glared at them hatefully, then left with the servants.
However, Xue Tingliu walked towards here slowly with an inexplicably secretive look on his face.
Xue Zhiyi stood up and called out as usual, "Second brother."
Su Yue was extremely alert and stared at Xue Tingliu in front of her with great vigilance.
Xue Tingliu's features resembled those of Aunt Rong, with a certain softness that appeared somewhat sinister on a man's face, but her eyes were like a pool of water, unfathomable.
"Third sister." He suddenly chuckled and made his intention clear: "I never realized before that Third sister is such a meticulous person."
