"Miss, do you know why I must come to tell you this tonight?"
"Uh... Could it be that Mammy thinks I'm leaving home and living in a new place where I'm unfamiliar with the place, and she's worried that I'll suffer?"
"The Duke's Mansion has many descendants, many of whom are outstanding. Even if you marry the eldest grandson, it may not all go smoothly. Moreover, there is the saying that husband and wife should be harmonious. Even your mother didn't really have a harmonious marriage.
The eldest lady is proud, but Young Master Sun is also a rare talent. If both sides are tough, life will be difficult.
I am afraid that you will be wronged. The thing I regret most is not handing the Shadow Guard over to your mother sooner. I will not make such a mistake again."
Xu Yixing felt more and more heartbroken as he listened to this. What do you mean my mother and father are not on good terms?
Everyone knows that mother is father's favorite, so she is particularly partial to herself; and why does the nanny think that she and her grandson You will definitely not be happy?
From what Mammy said, it seemed as if everything would be fine with these shadow guards. This was too hurtful, and Xu Yixing didn't like it.
"Although Mammy is doing this for my own good, I feel that whether I live a good life or not cannot be determined by a few shadow guards."
When Nanny Bai heard the tone, she knew that she had spoken too hastily just now. Maybe Xing'er didn't want to listen. She wanted to say something else, but Xu Yixing interrupted her directly.
"Besides, my mom and dad don't get along, no one else knows about it, doesn't Mammy know too? If they weren't getting along, how could my dad still be obsessed with mom?
There is no need to say more, Madam. I will handle the Shadow Guard's affairs when I am free. I will not mention it today. Madam, please go back."
Nanny Bai stood up and looked at Xu Yixing with complicated eyes. As expected, this stubborn person is really something. If I had known earlier, I would not have spoiled her so much.
"My lady has spoken, and I will obey. Please wear this jade pendant first. This is also..."
"This jade pendant is not of good quality. It's obvious that it doesn't belong to me. If I wear it now, won't it just arouse suspicion? I'll ask Madam for it when I go to Jingxi Temple one day."
Nanny Bai mumbled for a long time without saying anything, then stood up and walked out.
Xu Yixing felt more and more uncomfortable as he watched Nanny Bai leave. What was going on?
Unauthorized use of shadow guards is an act of usurpation. Once discovered, the Xu, Sun and even Bai mansions will probably suffer. How could Nanny Bai not understand this?
Moreover, the shadow guards have to follow their masters at all times. Now that I am married, if I knew that there was a man guarding me outside the room every day, listening to everything I said and did with my husband, even if I wasn't scared to death, I would be ashamed to death. Really!
Just as he was getting angry, he heard the sound of someone approaching outside the yard. Xu Yixing quickly sat down beside the bed and covered his head with the veil.
It was indeed Sun Ziyou. He was wearing a bright red wedding dress and walked towards him step by step. Xu Yixing could only see his boots stopped in front of him, his heart pounding.
"My lady, you must be feeling bored after changing your veil for a whole day, right?" It was that familiar voice again. He actually asked me if I was bored. He was indeed a considerate person.
Xu Yixing nodded slightly, placed his hands on his legs, holding a handkerchief, his palms sweating.
"Then I'll take it off for you right away." A breeze blew by, and Xu Yixing looked up, just in time to meet those peach blossom eyes. They were still as gentle and quiet as before.
"My wife... you are finally my wife..."
Xu Yixing felt the same way in her heart. After two years, she finally became this man's wife. She felt a little excited and a little sad.
People are happiest only when they are closest to happiness. Now that he has truly obtained it, Xu Yixing actually has such complicated feelings.
"Well, let's go to bed?"
Xu Yixing hurriedly stopped him: "I haven't drunk the Hehuan wine yet!"
"Yes, I was too anxious and forgot." Sun Ziyou walked to the table and brought two glasses of wine. They drank them all in one gulp, and spent the night in debauchery, oblivious to the world.
After that night, Xu Yixing never saw Nanny Bai again. He was so busy establishing his authority in the mansion that he even forgot about the Shadow Guard. After all, Nanny Bai was one of them, so she wouldn't really be angry with him.
Until the third day, Xu Yixing was still looking at the person in front of him shyly. He saw him take the glass of wine from Si Wu and feed himself.
But it was different from the wine he had drunk before. After drinking this glass of wine, Xu Yixing felt weak all over, his throat gradually became unable to make any sound, and his stomach ached.
She lay on the bed, looking at her grandson You as if for help, but he turned a blind eye and said to Si Wu, "You watch her. I have a lot to do today. I have to go get busy."
So Xu Yixing looked at Si Wu again. There was an expression on Si Wu's face that he had never seen before: a hint of hatred, a hint of relief, a hint of heartache, and a full seven points of malice.
Xu Yixing clutched his stomach and climbed down from the bed again and again, trying to make some noise for the outsiders to hear. But Si Wu kept pulling him back, dragging him back, and kicking him back.
This bitch! She had learned martial arts from her master along with Xu Yixing, and now she was actually using it on herself!
Finally, Xu Yixing was exhausted and lay on the bed gasping for breath, like a buffalo that had lost its strength.
She opened her eyes wide, unable to understand why this was happening. Si Wu had been her personal maid since childhood! Why... Why would he betray her...
She recalled what Aunt Bai had said that day, "Not everything can go as planned..." "Besides, there's a saying that a harmonious marriage..."
Xu Yixing felt so regretful that her intestines turned green. It wasn't just an adjective, she was really regretting it now.
Mammy, where are you... Help...
"Uh... huh!" Xu Yixing exhaled deeply, and when he opened his eyes he saw Siqin, who was like a sleepy chick pecking at rice, guarding his bedside.
"Siqin... Siqin?" Xu Yixing pushed Siqin. Now his body felt even weaker than when he was poisoned. What happened? It was all Xu Yiyan's fault for not eating well!
Siqin finally woke up from her sleepiness and was instantly happy to see the second young lady wake up.
"You're awake! Si Hua, come quickly! The young lady is awake!"
Si Hua pushed the door open and the three of them burst into tears again when they saw him.
Xu Yixing saw that it was already dark and didn't know how long he had slept.
"What time is it now? Have I slept for long?"
"Miss, you have been ill for more than ten days! If you don't wake up, I will really follow you to death!"
Ten days! No wonder I feel so weak, it turns out Xu Yiyan isn’t to blame…
"Hey, today is the 30th, right? Did Madam go to Jingxi Temple?"
"Are you still concerned about your wife? She went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet." Siqin said disparagingly, but she held a pill in her hand, ready to feed it to Xu Yixing.
