"What happened after last night? Can you tell me?"
Ying Xixi asked.
She was still a little curious about what happened last night.
Gu Siyu hugged Ying Xixi tightly, "After the fire was put out last night, two charred bodies were found. Judging from their headdresses, they were you and your maid.
I did some work and attributed the fire in the yard where you live to the fire set by Lin Huijin and Lin Youran.
Didn't you tell me before that they did try to set you on fire once? The guards went to search their yard and actually found several barrels of unused palm oil.
Now the news of your death has spread throughout the capital. Everyone knows that you worked hard to raise your children with your concubine, but they were burned to death by this ungrateful couple.
Lin Weiyi has had a mistress for many years and has let you down.
This morning, the Emperor ordered the guards to take all the members of the Lin family to prison."
After saying that, Gu Siyu paused and rubbed his chin against Ying Xixi's cheek.
"Xixi, I'm sorry, if I had known you were waiting for me yesterday, I should have sent you a message first.
The Emperor's order to execute your entire family originally included you, but I pleaded with him, and he agreed to spare your life. Unexpectedly, you escaped."
Ying Xixi sat up straight in Gu Siyu's arms with some surprise and turned to look at him.
"You asked the Emperor for mercy, and he agreed? What were the conditions in exchange? What did the Emperor ask you to do?"
Gu Siyu's eyes flickered, but he didn't meet Ying Xixi's gaze. "There is no condition for exchange."
"I don't believe it. The Emperor must have made some conditions! Tell me, what exactly are they?"
Ying Xixi continued to question, and Gu Siyu's expression clearly showed that he was lying out of guilt.
"I told you before that the emperor was also wary of the Yong'an Marquisate. In exchange, the emperor took away the little power I had.
This way, our Yong'an Marquisate will not pose a threat to the Emperor for the time being, and he will not try to deal with us."
Gu Siyu couldn't resist Ying Xixi's gaze and had to say it out.
Ying Xixi frowned, "No threat for now? That means if the emperor ever feels you're a threat to him, he'll still find a way to plot against you."
“Well, that’s pretty much it, otherwise I wouldn’t have pretended to be weak for so many years.
Xixi, what kind of life do you want to live in the future?"
Gu Siyu suddenly asked seriously.
"I am now dead in the capital, so I can start living again as a new person.
As for my future life, Gu Siyu, will you participate in my future life?"
Ying Xixi also looked at Gu Siyu very seriously.
"Of course, no matter what kind of life you want to live, I will be with you."
Gu Siyu's answer was firm and decisive.
"Even if I want to leave the capital, travel around the world, and return to the countryside, are you willing to abandon your family and leave with me?"
Ying Xixi looked into Gu Siyu's eyes and asked slowly.
Gu Siyu nodded, "Yes, I can't live past thirty. Before I turn thirty, I can also fake my death and leave.
I have a younger brother who can support the Yong'an Marquisate for me."
Ying Xixi could tell that what Gu Siyu said was true.
"What if I want to continue living in the capital? I don't want to worry every day about whether my life will be in danger one day because the emperor is wary of you and the Yong'an Marquisate."
Gu Siyu thought for a moment and said, "Then I will give you a fake identity first, so that you can marry me smoothly, and then cooperate with the Third Prince to let him ascend the throne. At least this way, I can solve the problem of being feared by the current emperor."
Ying Xixi was slightly startled: “…”
"The Third Prince?"
"Well, he and I have a good relationship. He is ambitious for that position, but he is not favored by the emperor."
Ying Xixi scratched her face. "Why do I feel like you've already thought all this through and roughly planned it out."
Gu Siyu curled his lips and smiled, "My sister-in-law found out. From the day my sister-in-law came into my heart, I have been thinking about this.
I'm really happy that my sister-in-law didn't want to escape and leave me."
Ying Xixi patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to leave you."
"Really? I won't believe it unless you kiss me."
Gu Siyu seemed to have returned to the past, Ying Xixi hugged his neck and kissed him.
......
The entire Wu'an Marquis family was executed.
On the day when Lin Weiyi, his concubine Lin Lin, and the siblings Lin Huijin and Lin Youran were beheaded, Ying Xixi went to watch wearing a veil.
A gust of wind blew, lifting the veil of Ying Xixi's hat, and the four members of the Lin family could see Ying Xixi's face clearly.
Their eyes widened, and before they could say anything, the executioner pressed their heads down and chopped them off with one knife!
Ying Xixi could feel that the resentment left by the original owner in her heart had dissipated.
The original owner's wishes have now been fulfilled.
All that remains is her mission to have children.
Gu Siyu told her that she didn't need to worry about what happened next, she just had to wait to become a bride.
Then she goes shopping.
Half a month later, Ying Xixi married into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion under the name Yun Xixi and became the Crown Prince's Consort of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
As for her identity, she is the daughter of Gu Si and his former savior, now the Minister of Rites, who had been wandering outside for many years and was finally found.
Gu Siyu fulfilled the promise he made to Xixi.
He gave her a grand wedding.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bow to your parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"The ceremony is over! Send her to the bridal chamber!"
After the emcee's loud shout, Ying Xixi, wearing a red veil, walked into their new home with the support of Gu Siyu.
"Xixi, please sit down for a while. I asked the maid to prepare some food for you. You can eat something first. I will be back soon."
After Gu Si finished speaking in a low voice, he pulled Ying Xixi's hand and left.
Ying Xixi listened to the door closing and gently lifted the veil a little.
Standing next to her was Meimei, the little maid who served her.
"Ma'am, would you like to eat something to fill your stomach?"
"Eat something."
This morning she was woken up before daybreak and started to wash and dress up, with an empty stomach.
Meimei brought a bowl of steaming noodles. Ying Xixi was very satisfied and finished it quickly. She finally felt like she was alive again.
After eating and drinking her fill, Ying Xixi lowered her veil and sat by the bed, waiting for Gu Siyu to come back.
I don’t know how long I waited.
Ying Xixi felt so drowsy that she was about to fall asleep.
When she was about to fall asleep, she finally heard the sound of chaotic footsteps and voices at the door.
"Brother, be careful. There is a threshold here. Don't trip over it."
Then the door was pushed open.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, brother must be drunk."
Ying Xixi heard the voice and it was Gu Siyu's younger brother.
Through the red veil, Ying Xixi vaguely saw Gu Siyu come in and close the door, then staggered towards her.
