The wind blew and banged the windows. Fu Ling looked around and made sure that there was no one inside who shouldn't be there, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where's Rongxin?"
Caizhi glanced at the screen guiltily: "The young lady... is taking a bath."
At this moment, Rong Ziying rushed in, shouting, "Sister Rongxin! Sister Rongxin, are you okay? Are you okay?"
But when she broke in, it was not as she had imagined. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Fu Rongxin and Gao Qingnian making love.
She clearly saw Gao Qingnian enter this door with her own eyes!
Rong Ziying looked around, trying to find Gao Qingnian.
Seeing her expression, Fu Ling guessed that Rong Ziying had bad intentions tonight. Just as she was about to have her kicked out, she heard Fu Rongxin's voice from behind the screen: "Aunt, what's wrong? What happened?"
Before Fu Ling could speak, Rong Ziying calmed down and hurried over: "Sister Rongxin! Are you okay?"
Fu Ling tried to stop her, so he also broke into the screen.
But in the misty bathtub, Fu Rongxin covered her chest in panic: "Aunt, cousin, what...what happened?"
Under the candlelight, in the bathtub, Fu Rongxin's hair was damp, even her eyelashes were wet. She looked puzzled: "I felt cold on a snowy day, so I thought of taking a hot bath, but is there anything wrong with that?"
But Rong Ziying's eyes were still searching for something unwillingly: "Rongxin, didn't you see anyone?"
Fu Rongxin was even more puzzled: "People? I only brought Caizhi to serve me, so how could there be anyone else? Cousin, don't scare me..."
Rong Ziying couldn't understand where such a big person could go. "I vaguely saw some thieves running towards this place. I'm worried..."
Before she could finish her words, Fu Ling slapped Rong Ziying hard on the face.
She covered her face, and before she could recover, Fu Ling slapped her on the other side of the face. He even forgot the Buddhist precepts of being cautious in what he said and did, and cursed, "Bitch!"
Rong Ziying wanted to explain: "Madam, I am a straightforward person and don't think too much. I am just worried..."
As if not satisfied, Fu Ling slapped her again: "You're so stubborn, huh? Why don't you just die? You'll be even more stubborn if you die!"
Without giving her another chance to explain, Fu Ling ordered, "Mother Xing, send two people to escort her down the mountain immediately. Let the Rong family take her away at dawn tomorrow morning! We can't keep such gossipers like this!"
…
Xue Zhiyi stood in front of the window, watching Rong Ziying being gagged and dragged away. She looked so miserable. Xue Runing was so scared that she shrank her head and leaned against Xue Zhiyi.
In the distance, Xue Tingliu, who had just looked like he was watching a show, was now smiling, but his expression was terribly cold.
Now, it was Xue Zhiyi's turn to smile at her, then silently close the window.
It seems that Rong Ziying can't deal with Fu Rongxin either. It's really disappointing.
…
Fu Ling comforted Fu Rongxin for a while before finally leaving.
As the door closed, Fu Rongxin could no longer maintain her expression.
In the bathtub, she was breathing heavily, her eyes were red and tears were filling them, and she was laughing uncontrollably.
With a splash, she took out the candlestick from the bathtub. The blood stains on it had been washed away, and it was emitting a faint glow under the candlelight.
It's okay... Gao Qingnian is dead, no one can threaten her anymore, and no one will know who pushed the princess into the water that day!
It's okay, it's all over...it's over...
Caizhi looked at this scene and knelt down with weak legs and feet, as if she had seen an evil ghost.
Listening to Caizhi's crying, Fu Rongxin slowly got up from the already cold bathtub. Without wiping off the water stains on her body, she casually put on a piece of clothing.
She walked barefoot to the window and opened it. The wind and snow hit her, but she didn't seem to feel the cold at all. She just stretched her hand holding the candlestick out of the window and let go.
The candlestick fell into the snowy hillside just like Gao Qingnian did just now.
Facing the window, she whispered, "Rest in peace."
Suddenly, she turned around. Her still pretty face was a little pale, with a faint smile on her face. She looked down at Cai Zhi, who was almost fainting from fear, and said in a cold and terrifying voice, "Watch your mouth, or else the truth will be revealed and you will be the murderer who killed Gao Qingnian."
…
After these twists and turns, Fu Ling no longer wanted to stay in Bodhi Temple.
The next day, the wind and snow stopped, but there was still snow on the mountain road. Fu Ling sent people to clear the snow and go down the mountain to return home.
However, Rong Ziying fell seriously ill after going down the mountain in the snow.
Before he could even recover from his illness, Xue Tingliu scolded him again: "You useless piece of shit! You can't even handle this!"
He felt very depressed when he thought that the person he had worked so hard to get from Cenzhou had become a useless person.
Rong Ziying had already lost all her energy and spirit. Hatred filled her eyes. "I clearly saw Gao Qingnian enter the meditation room with my own eyes. Otherwise, how would I dare to call for help? Could it be... could it be that Fu Rongxin played a trick on me? Did she know about our plan all along? How do we explain Gao Qingnian? How could a living person just disappear out of thin air?"
Xue Tingliu snorted coldly: "I sent someone to the Gao family to ask, Gao Qingnian has not returned home in the past few days, and his whereabouts are unknown."
Suddenly, Rong Ziying gasped: "Could it be... that Fu Rongxin killed Gao Qingnian?"
Xue Tingliu just gave her a cold look and said, "I've thought about this possibility before, so I sent people to search the foot of the mountain for a while, but they didn't find Gao Qingnian's body. And it's impossible for Fu Rongxin to hide his body in the temple."
Although she was puzzled, Rong Ziying still shook her head and denied her guess: "Maybe I'm overthinking it. How could Fu Rongxin kill Gao Qingnian?"
After saying that, he sneered again: "Fu Rongxin is already a fallen woman, why should she compete with me? No matter how much Fu Ling loves her, there is no way he can let such a shameless woman stay with Xue Tingsheng!"
Xue Tingliu reminded her coldly, "Have you forgotten? Fu Ling has already sent someone from the Rong family to take you back to Cenzhou."
"I'm not going back!" Rong Ziying became angrier and angrier. "Cousin, I'm staying!"
"The Rong family is about to arrive in Huajing."
Rong Ziying gritted her teeth, "That's enough! I can risk my reputation and make it a done deal. How can Xue Tingsheng still deny it? If he doesn't, I'll go to the Dali Temple and beat the drum to protest!"
…
Live in peace.
As soon as Fu Rongxin entered the room, Mother Xing familiarly led a group of maids out.
Seeing Fu Ling reading a letter, she stepped forward and asked, "Mother, whose letter are you reading?"
Glancing at his daughter who was sitting next to him, Fu Ling said, "The Zhao family of Yongping Marquis received a letter saying that Si Niang is three months pregnant."
Fu Rongxin raised her eyebrows: Regarding Xue Hanshu's marriage, Yongping Hou once went to her house in person to make a scene, and it was so unpleasant that people thought Xue Hanshu's life was over. Unexpectedly, she was so capable that she even got pregnant.
"Logically speaking, now that the baby is stable, people from the mother's family should be able to visit, right?" Fu Rongxin asked.
Fu Ling showed her the letter: "This is what the Zhao family meant. They wanted to ease the relationship with our family, so they brought up this excuse and asked our family to come visit."
