Xu Yixing died on the third day after she married the eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion.
At this moment, she sat on the bed in a daze, her head aching. It wasn't because she was injured, but because she really didn't understand the current situation.
Why is he alive again?
She opened her eyes a quarter of an hour ago, and the burning sensation of the poisoned wine was still burning in her stomach. When she sat up from the bed and prepared to shout for help, she saw clearly at the first moment - this was not her room.
The scream was stuck in her throat, turning into a small noise similar to a dry branch being stepped on.
More importantly, this face, this body, this voice, none of them is my own!
This is... Xu Yiyan?
Xu Yixing looked at the bronze mirror on the dressing table beside the bed. The person reflected in the mirror was clearly his half-sister Xu Yiyan.
"Second Miss, you're awake. Why don't you call your servant?" A thin and small figure pushed the door open and came in, with a hint of complaint in his tone.
She was holding a tray with three or four small jars on it, and she didn't know what was inside them.
Xu Yixing took a look at the person who came. This person was one of Xu Yiyan's personal maids, and the eldest maid of the "Si" generation in the mansion, Siqin.
"Siqin...what are you holding in your hand?"
"These are medicines for healing injuries. There are painkillers, scar removers, and whitening medicines." Siqin put down the tray and showed them to Xu Yixing one by one. As she spoke, the flesh on her face bulged like a little hamster.
Why didn’t I notice how cute this little maid was before?
Yes, she didn’t even pay much attention to Xu Yi Yan before, so how could she possibly pay attention to the maidservant around her?
"What are you doing with these things?" Xu Yixing felt reckless as soon as she finished speaking. She must have taken the medicine because her master needed it, but she had never heard of Xu Yiyan being injured.
"Second Miss, you can't bear it like this!" After saying that, he lifted the veil covering her body and lifted up her skirt, revealing the wound on her knee.
Wow! Xu Yixing lowered his head and saw that his two knees were bruised, but there was no bleeding. This is... kneeling like this, right?
Siqin gently melted the ointment with her hands and applied it on her knee with her palm. Only then did Xu Yixing feel the pain - it was because he was so shocked and had a headache that he didn't notice the injury on his knee at all.
"Hiss!" Even someone like Xu Yixing who exercises regularly feels pain under this body. She doesn't even know how long she has been kneeling.
"The eldest lady is really something! She's already married, but she still has to torture you before leaving. I think she is mentally ill!" Siqin complained while applying medicine, feeling very indignant.
When Xu Yixing heard Siqin mention the "young lady," his ears pricked up immediately. The "young lady" was him. But after hearing this, he felt baffled. When had he tortured Xu Yiyan before? He had no recollection.
However, from what she said, it was certain that although she did not understand the situation, at least the time in this world was not chaotic. She had indeed married and died, but was inexplicably reborn in Xu Yiyan.
"Siqin... When did the eldest lady get married?"
"September 15th, just four days ago. You've been kneeling for three days, have you become confused?" Siqin stretched out the back of her hand and touched Xu Yixing's forehead directly. She subconsciously wanted to hide, but remembered that this was not her own body, so she forced herself to resist the urge to beat this girl to death.
How could she be so bold! A servant actually dared to touch the master's head? What kind of family rules were these? If this happened to Nanny Bai in my own courtyard, she would definitely beat this ignorant little girl to death!
Is this how Xu Yiyan usually gets along with the maids? How can this be allowed? Although she is a personal maid, the master is the master. Being too close to the servants will easily lead to them taking advantage of her.
But thinking of Xu Yiyan's usual submissive demeanor, Xu Yixing felt relieved. Well, that's right, after all, she's a concubine's daughter, so naturally she can't compare to the status of his eldest daughter.
"It's not a fever..." Siqin withdrew her hand with relief and looked at Xu Yixing, with some heartache in her eyes.
Xu Yixing finally relaxed after not being touched, but when he saw Siqin's eyes, he felt uncomfortable again.
It was an expression she had only seen on Nanny Bai's face, like an elder looking at a younger one with concern. Xu Yixing had once deeply enjoyed Nanny Bai's gaze, once internally treating her like her own mother. But now, seeing it on the face of a servant who was probably even younger than herself, it was indescribably strange.
"I'm fine, don't worry. Um... what did the young lady say?" Without any memory of Xu Yiyan, Xu Yixing didn't dare to say it too clearly, and could only choose some ambiguous words to ask.
"Her? Why would she come and talk to us directly? I see that the eldest lady's eyes are on the top of her head. She won't even look at us!"
Ah... So this is the image of him in Siqin's mind. Xu Yixing was annoyed. Seeing her outspokenness, she must have talked about him a lot on a daily basis. That Xu Yiyan seemed to be quiet, but it turned out that she dared to let the maid talk about her like this behind her back!
But I can't get angry, at least not now. Before I figure out the situation, I must not let anyone notice that something is wrong with me.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Siqin knew that the Second Young Lady was cautious and afraid of causing trouble, so she lowered her body and sat on the edge of the bed: "I have copied those "Women's Virtues". I will hand them over to Madam later, so as to avoid Madam finding fault again if it is too late.
You said this young lady is really something. Just because you didn't attend her going-out ceremony, she asked Madam to teach you a lesson. From my perspective, this young lady is too unscrupulous! God bless her and let her find a powerful husband to keep her under control! "
absurd!
Xu Yi's attire was even more impressive. What about the coming-out ceremony and asking the Madam to teach her a lesson? How could such a thing happen? How could he possibly notice whether Xu Yiyan had come to the coming-out ceremony? That day, she was covered with a veil. He was so proud of marrying a good husband that he didn't care to torture her.
As for Siqin's prayer for a powerful husband, humph, he was indeed very powerful. Not only did he suppress her, but he also killed herself with a cup of poisoned wine. Without thinking about what was happening over there, Xu Yixing's eyes were clear and he figured it out instantly:
She is lying.
Since Xu Yiyan was indeed punished, and I have never said such a thing, then it must be Gu who is lying!
Gu... Humph, that concubine, who hadn't dared to fart in front of me for so many years, was actually so arrogant in front of her concubine's sister, and even used my name? This is intolerable!
"Come on, I'll give it to her myself."
