Chapter 448 Returning Home (Part 2)

But Aunt Qin suddenly shook off Xu Siyu's hand: "No, no, no, you are not the Second Young Master. The Second Young Master and Le'an, that little bitch Cui'er gave my letter to the Madam, I know, she gave my letter to the Madam, and was afraid that I would settle with her, so she hanged herself. I know everything, I know everything, I won't tell you..." She started to look a little flustered, and at the end, a strange smile appeared on her face, coupled with her skinny face, which made Lian Jiao and Xiao Luzi, who followed Xu Siyu in, feel a chill in their hearts. They looked at each other, not knowing whether to listen or not. When they turned around, the door had been closed at some point, and the old woman who led them in had disappeared.

Xu Siyu felt as if his heart was stabbed with a knife. He climbed onto the bed and grabbed Qin Yi Niang's hand again: "I am Yu Ge, I really am Yu Ge. I rushed back after receiving your letter. If you don't believe me, touch my head." As he spoke, he lowered his head, held Qin Yi Niang's hand and groped in his hair.

There is a long scar, which was caused by falling into a bird's nest when he was a child and almost lost his life.

"You are the Second Young Master, you are the Second Young Master." Aunt Qin shouted ecstatically, hugging Xu Siyu in her arms, "I knew it. You will definitely come back. You won't be like those people who abandon me just because of my humble background. You know I'm sick, and you will definitely come back to see me..."

As she spoke, her expression suddenly froze and she looked alert, "Who else is there? Who else? Is it someone sent by the Madam?" Gradually, a hint of fear appeared on her face.

The aunt was very afraid of the dowager, and always felt that the dowager was very powerful, and once she was unhappy, she could kill all the aunts, maids, and old women. In fact, everything in this world has always been one thing over another. To the aunt, the dowager was far away and unreachable, and a yawn could decide her life or death. But for the dowager, she went forward to return the emperor, the empress, and the Xu family's reputation for a hundred years, and she couldn't do whatever she wanted. This may be what Mr. Jiang said, people's horizons are far or near, and their minds are also wide or narrow!

Xu Siyu smoothed Qin Yi Niang's messy hair and said softly, "No one else. Just Xiaoluzi and Jiaolian. They came with me to see you."

After hearing this, Aunt Qin not only did not relax, but became even more nervous. She shouted in panic, "Let them go out. Let them go out quickly." Then her expression straightened and she whispered to Xu Siyu, "I tell you, those maids and servants are all fence-sitters. Look, I was so good to Cui'er, but she still hurt me... These people can't be trusted."

Xu Siyu was a little embarrassed.

In the past, the maids and old women around him were arranged by Yuanniang, who indulged him blindly. He was young at that time and did not understand the intentions. Later, when he was older, he followed his second aunt to study. Although he knew how powerful she was, he was powerless to change anything. After a lot of effort, the little Luzi recommended by his second aunt came. Not only was she loyal to him, but she would also remind him tactfully if he had any unexpected things. She was not comparable to the ordinary maids who only knew how to flatter or obey orders.

Isn't it sad for little Luzi to say this, aunt?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look behind him.

The room was quiet, and Xiaoluzi and Lianjiao were not there.

Xiao Luzi has always been smart and capable, and he knows how to read people's expressions. Maybe he went out?

The thought flashed through his mind, and for some reason, Xu Siyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since he entered the house, Xiao Luzi felt that Aunt Qin gave people a strange feeling, but she was the biological mother of the Second Young Master after all, and the Young Master certainly didn't want others to see Aunt Qin's ferocious appearance.

He gently pulled Lian Jiao's sleeve, motioning them to go out together.

Lian Jiao was thinking about what Amber had told her when she came here: "Mrs. Qin doesn't recognize anyone now. Don't stay too far away from the Second Young Master. Be careful that Mrs. Qin gets crazy and hurts the Second Young Master."

She called Xiaoluzi aside and told him what Amber had said: "One is sober, the other is confused; one is the biological mother, the other is..."

Before Lian Jiao finished her words, Xiao Luzi heard Aunt Qin saying that Cui'er had harmed her.

He immediately said, "Let's hide in the floor-standing cover next to us. If it's Aunt Qin...you go and pull the Second Young Master, and I'll go and stop Aunt Qin."

Lian Jiao nodded, and she and Xiao Luzi tiptoed to stand behind the curtain next to the floor-length cover.

Xu Siyu whispered to comfort Auntie: "It's okay, it's okay. They are all people around me. Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The aunt has always been uneasy about the people around her, always feeling that those people have ulterior motives towards her. In his opinion, although it was a bit too flattering, if it came to things like framing, it might have been possible when the former stepmother Yuanniang was in charge, but Shiyi Niang was somewhat arrogant in her bones, not that she had no means, but that she felt that she had won unfairly and disdained it.

After hearing this, Aunt Qin let out a strange cry and pushed Xu Siyu away.

"You are not the Second Young Master, you are not the Second Young Master." She shrank back to the corner of the bed in panic, hugged the quilt tightly, and murmured, "The Second Young Master would never say such a thing to me! I know, I know everything. You pretended to be the Second Young Master to deceive me..."

"Aunt!" Xu Siyu looked at Aunt Qin in shock, feeling that something was wrong.

He looked at Aunt Qin, who was showing her fear like a child without any concealment, thought for a moment, and then crawled gently to her side.

"What's wrong with you?" He said softly, "Didn't you write to me, saying that your old heart palpitations had come back and asked me to go home quickly? How come you don't remember it yourself?"

Aunt Qin tilted her head and frowned as she thought.

Xu Siyu's voice became even softer: "Do you still remember? When I was little, we had an agreement." He said, subconsciously pinching his head and looking behind him, "That year, the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers were in full bloom, and you secretly made sweet-scented osmanthus candy and buried it under the tree. When the Spring Festival came, you took it out and made sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. The lady handed me over to my second aunt, and you didn't dare to come to my room casually. So when it was snowing heavily and there was no one in the yard, you put the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in your arms and secretly gave them to me to eat. You repeatedly told me not to tell anyone about this. If the lady knew, you would never come to me again. This matter has not been told to anyone until now. Has my aunt ever mentioned it to anyone?"

Aunt Qin listened and smiled softly, "I remember. It was winter, and I was afraid that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake would not taste good. I put it in my underwear, and when I went back, my chest was red." As she spoke, her eyes searched for Xu Siyu blankly, "I have never told anyone else. You are the second young master, you are the second young master..."

Xu Siyu held her hand tightly. Thinking of what his father said, that his aunt would not live long, his eyes were slightly moist: "Aunt, what do you want to tell me? I will be like before and not tell anyone!"

Aunt Qin laughed when she heard this.

She pushed the quilt in her arms aside, grasped Xu Siyu's hand, and looked around with eyes that were empty: "Don't make a sound, let me listen, is there anyone here!" She pretended to listen attentively for a long time, then straightened up and said solemnly, "I've listened, no one!" Then she groped along Xu Siyu's arm and put her hands on his shoulders, straightened Xu Siyu's body, and said seriously, "Second Young Master, listen carefully, this matter is very important." As she spoke, her tone paused, and it became more serious, "You are the prince of Yongping Marquis's Mansion!"

Here we go again...

Xu Siyu couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly: "Aunt, I have told you many times. Although I am the eldest son, I am a concubine's son. The legitimate son should be established, not the illegitimate son. This is the rule..."

"No, no." Aunt Qin retorted loudly, "That doesn't count. Just like the emperor, who becomes the emperor is God's will. Who becomes the prince of Yongping Marquis's mansion is also God's will. You are the prince of Yongping Marquis chosen by God. In the future, you will still be Yongping Marquis. Inherit the Xu family's century-old family business..."

Xu Siyu shouted "Auntie" as if to wake his biological mother from a dream, "Xu Sizhen is already the crown prince. Father has already made Xu Sizhen the crown prince!"

Aunt Qin giggled as she listened.

"I told you, that doesn't count."

Xu Siyu was shocked.

He thought of what his father had said when he came here: "Your biological mother is short-sighted and made some mistakes. But since she is seriously ill, I will not pursue the matter any further. I know you are worried, so go see her first. When you come back, we can talk it over." He also thought of his grandmother being more severe than usual to him, Shiyi Niang's evasive look, and Xu Sizhen's sudden illness...

"What did you do?"

Questions came out of his mouth.

"I didn't do anything!" Aunt Qin laughed weirdly, "I didn't do anything!"

Xu Siyu stared at her in a daze, all the things going on in his mind flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern.

"You must listen to the Second Madam and learn from her. She is a woman who can manage the outer courtyard. She is a capable woman. When the time comes, when the Marquis sees that you understand the affairs of the outer courtyard, he will know who will support this family."

"Your father must be very happy after winning the battle. He is very brave, so he likes brave people. You will go to greet your father later, but don't be afraid. If you are afraid, he will not like you. Don't be like Brother Zhe."

"In this backyard, the Madam is the most important. As long as you can please the Madam, your stepmother can't do anything to you!"

"What are you afraid of? You are smarter and more capable than Brother Zhe... So what if he is the heir? You are still the eldest."

Beads of sweat appeared on his temples.

"Auntie," Xu Siyu said bitterly, "You, are you..."

Have you done anything to let Xu Sizhen down?

But there is still some luck in my heart.

No. Although Aunt Qin had always hoped that he could become the prince, she only grumbled in front of him. When she met the Taifu and the Second Madam, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, and she didn't dare to say a word. Others didn't know, but he knew.

Aunt Qin looked at him and smiled: "I didn't do anything? Really, I can swear in front of the Bodhisattva. I didn't do anything! If I did something, your father would have found out when Aunt Tong died, and he would not have let me live until now."

Having said this, she seemed to remember something and started giggling again.
