Seeing Huo Wuyou's sadness, Sui Yunlang didn't know how to comfort him for a moment, so he could only say, "I am your brother's staff member and also his friend. Although Wuji is gone, I will take good care of his family for him as I promised him. Just treat me as your brother."
"Go away." Unexpectedly, Huo Wuyou's expression suddenly changed: "Don't take advantage of me."
Suddenly, the sadness on Sui Yunlang's face disappeared: "Just understand, I am trying to comfort you, Huo Wuyou, you are so ungrateful! If I hadn't seen that you were injured, do you think I would have hit you?"
After the two of them shoved and jostled each other for a while, Sui Yunlang asked him, "Honestly, Zhao Xu is Prince Gong's man. Do you plan to defect to Prince Sheng?"
Huo Wuyou became serious again: "Prince Cheng is not a good person either, and I don't want to get involved in the factional struggle, but if it is for revenge, we can indeed use Prince Cheng's power to accomplish it."
"Oh, right." Sui Yunlang remembered something and asked, "I heard from Yan Gui that you were saved by Gu Shichong's little princess today? She's quite kind-hearted."
Hearing this address, Huo Wuyou felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart. He glanced at Sui Yunlang unfriendly and said, "I'm also surprised. Xue Zhentong and Zhao Xu are relatives. I broke into the Zhao Mansion without permission, and she actually chose to help me."
Sui Yunlang was completely baffled by his glare, not knowing what had offended him. He could only sigh softly, "What does a little girl know about the political situation? Perhaps she's just a nice person."
Speaking of Xue Zhiyi, the image that emerged in Huo Wuyou's mind was her cunning yet innocent face after she teased him. He snorted lightly: "She may not be so hateful."
…
It's late at night.
When Su Yue was taking off Xue Zhiyi's bun, she said, "Miss, your pearl hairpin is missing."
"Pearl hairpin? Which one?" she asked.
Su Yue said: "It belongs to Bai Mei."
Xue Zhiyi thought, too many things happened today, maybe it fell somewhere when he went out.
"Third sister, is the hairpin important?" Xue Runing whispered
Xue Runing said that she wanted to learn how to read account books from Xue Zhiyi, and she has been coming to her every day recently.
She had been out all day today and thought Xue Runing would not come, but she didn't expect that the little girl was so hardworking and had a lot of questions to ask her.
In fact, Xue Runing was very talented in learning things, but unfortunately her biological mother died early, and Xue Zhentong ignored her, which delayed her development.
Xue Zhiyi smiled at her: "It doesn't matter, it's a good thing I lost that advantage."
The pearl flower was small and only served as an embellishment in her hair. If Su Yue had not mentioned it at this time, she might not have noticed that there was a hairpin missing from her dressing box.
Thinking of Xue Runing, Xue Zhiyi felt a little worried. She was not the biological daughter of the Xue family and would leave sooner or later. Sooner or later, something would happen to the Xue family. She didn't really want this little girl to be implicated by the Xue family.
But Xue Runing was different from Xue Ruoyu. Xue Ruoyu had the Tang family to protect her, but she couldn't just find a way to get Xue Runing married early for this reason, right? If her husband's family was unreliable, everything would only get worse.
Seeing Xue Zhiyi taking off her hair and preparing to rest, Xue Runing also stood up obediently, holding a thick book: "Third sister, it's getting late, I'll take my leave first."
Xue Zhiyi came back to his senses and said, "Let Qiuyun light a lantern to send you back."
After seeing Xue Runing off, she had some time to recall what happened today.
Looking at the half of the blue flower at the base of her left hand, Huo Wuyou's face flashed through her mind.
What does Huo Wuyou want to do?
Last time he was haunting the Xue family, this time it was the Zhao family.
The Xue family, the Zhao family in this life, and the Shen family in the previous life are all members of Prince Gong's party. So it seems that Huo Wuyou is targeting people from Prince Gong's party, so he is definitely Prince Sheng's man.
According to the time when Huo Wuyou slandered the Shen family in his previous life, he should be collecting, or creating evidence of the Yueling Pass tragedy at this time.
Shen Chiyan is no longer Prince Gong's man in this life, so Huo Wuyou has no reason to harm the Shen family, so... he has decided to slander the Zhao family now?
Xue Zhiyi tossed and turned in bed.
In short, since her rebirth, the development of many things has gradually deviated from the trajectory of her previous life, and it is unknown whether the future of the Xue family will change because of this.
In his previous life, in order to clear the Xue family's charges, Xue Zhiyi posed as a courtesan and moved among the powerful and wealthy, thereby discovering the truth behind the Xue family's crimes.
Although Xue Zhentong is a good-for-nothing, his crime of corruption is indeed slandered.
Xue Zhentong was the Minister of Revenue, in charge of the money in the national treasury, but he would not do such a stupid thing as embezzlement. The Xue family's money mainly came from the offerings of the Fu family, and the Fu family relied on Xue Zhentong's power to get convenience in the business world and prosper.
The two families benefited from each other in this way, and Xue Zhentong didn't need to touch the national treasury at all.
But later, the Ministry of Revenue caught fire, and it was discovered that Xue Tingliu had tampered with the Xue family's accounts. Xue Tingliu then reported the incident with great righteousness, saying that the fire was caused by Xue Zhentong embezzling silver from the national treasury and setting fire to destroy the evidence.
Zhao Xu, who joined the King Sheng party together with Xue Tingliu, was also an important witness to prove the charges.
In order to protect themselves, the Fu family quickly destroyed all records of financial transactions with the Xue family, which made Xue Zhentong unable to explain the treasury silver in the Xue Mansion that far exceeded the salary.
Xue Zhentong's corruption and Shen Chiyan's masterminding of the Yueling Pass tragedy caused Prince Gong to be disliked and suppressed by the emperor.
Later, it was Xue Zhiyi who brought the collected evidence to Prince Gong, which allowed the Xue family and Prince Gong's party to make a comeback, and eventually defeated Prince Sheng and ascended the throne.
But in the end, she only waited for the Xue family's conspiracy, was convicted of murder, and died tragically in prison.
Perhaps no matter how things change, Xue Tingliu will still use the same old tricks again.
