Yan Xi did not return to He Mansion for a whole day and a night. He Wei was very worried and waited for the whole night.
In the early morning, Mingzhu found him sitting in the room without saying a word, and hurried to inform He Wei.
He Wei rushed over after hearing the news, but didn't dare to go in and disturb him. He could only watch from outside the door. Seeing him sitting there blankly, he felt a little worried.
He didn't expect that Lou Jinchuan's incident would cause him such a big blow.
He Wei sighed silently and whispered to Mingzhu, "Go and call the young lady over."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Mingzhu ran very fast, and soon brought He Youyi over.
He Wei touched her head and said something to her.
He Youyi understood what she meant, and after He Wei and the others left, she started knocking on the door, "Brother, it's me, Youyi. I made some pastry today, would you like to try it?"
Yan Xi, who was in a bad mood, heard the sound, calmed himself down, and got up to open the door, but he had no strength in his body and walked lazily.
He Youyi smiled brightly when the door opened, but when she saw his bloodshot and tired eyes, she frowned, "Brother, didn't you sleep all night?"
"Yeah." Yan Xi was in a low mood and didn't want to talk much.
"Brother, come in with me. I have something to tell you." He Youyi held a box of crispy food, pulled his hand in, closed the door tightly, and then pressed him to sit on the stool, staring at him closely.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Mingzhu and father refuse to tell me the truth. Are you hiding something from me?"
Yan Xi forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I just have insomnia."
"Are you kidding a three-year-old? How do you look like someone who has insomnia?" He Youyi put her hands on her hips, a stern face, and spoke in a mature tone. "In the past, if you heard I brought a piece of pastry, you would have been overjoyed and gobbled it up. But now? You don't even glance at the pastry in my hand? And look at you, you look like you've lost your soul. Your eyes are vacant and your expression is listless. Something's definitely wrong with you!"
The little girl's analysis was very logical. Yan Xi had no way to refute it. He lowered his head and said weakly, "Youyi, I want to be alone for a while. Go out and play by yourself."
"I won't!" He Youyi stamped her feet in frustration. "You can't keep it to yourself like this. It would be better if you could talk to me about it. It would make you feel better if you talk about it."
Yan Xi pursed her lips and didn't want to talk.
He Youyi was so anxious that she was like a deflated ball. She sat aside and looked at him depressedly. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly, "Did you have a quarrel with your future sister-in-law?"
Yan Xi suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Well, that's about right."
"That's true." He Youyi moved a small stool a little closer, took his hand, and said very seriously: "Brother, I heard Princess Yuen say that if there is anything between lovers, they should calm down and talk it out. Don't be impatient. Just talk it out. Go back and apologize to your sister-in-law. Maybe she will forgive you."
Yan Xi smiled bitterly, "I also wanted to calm down and talk to him nicely, but he wouldn't listen at all."
"Ah, this..." He Youyi's mouth twitched slightly, probably because she hadn't expected that it was her future sister-in-law who couldn't calm down. After thinking for a while, she continued to offer advice, "Women are unreasonable. Brother, just bear with it and apologize."
Yan Xi pursed her lips and shook her head, "Youyi, stop talking. This matter is not as simple as who is right or wrong. I need time to think about it carefully. Please go out."
"Oh, okay." He Youyi clasped her hands dejectedly, looking back every few steps, not quite trusting him.
In the following time, Yan Xi stayed in the room, not going out and not eating much. He Wei and Mrs. He came one after another. Afraid of arousing their suspicion, Yan Xi reluctantly ate a little the next day, went into the study to read, and pretended that everything was fine.
On the third day, a letter came from the teahouse, and Yan Xi rushed over almost non-stop.
When Miss Hongling saw him coming, she quickly handed him the information she had found.
Yan Xi opened the envelope and read it carefully.
There's a 90% chance that Lou Jinchuan is He Wei's child, and He Youyi is the fake one...
When Mrs. He gave birth to his sister, the fetus was in an abnormal position and her head was stuck. She suffocated to death less than an incense stick of time after being born. Mrs. He fainted due to exhaustion from giving birth. He Wei was afraid that his daughter's death would upset him, so he ordered people to find a baby girl born on the same day to replace her, and ordered everyone present not to mention this incident again.
Over the years, Mrs. He has never doubted He Youyi's identity.
After reading it, Yan Xi's brain froze on the spot. He fell down on the stool, his face pale and his hands shaking constantly.
No wonder...in the original plot, He Wei would allow the two to get married, hehe...
Seeing this, Miss Hongling, who had never seen him like this before, was startled and hurriedly supported him: "Sir, are you okay?"
Yan Xi shook his head, "I'm fine, you go out, I'll be alone for a while."
The red-rimmed girl moved her lips and quietly retreated.
Yan Xi was the only one left in the room. He looked at the letter in his hand, and his eyes quickly became misty. He desperately crumpled the letter into a ball with his hands. Halfway through, he suppressed his tears, and the low sobs were particularly clear in the silent room.
