After thinking about this long list, Xu Yixing felt a buzzing pain in his head. It was really too difficult.
Especially the balance between making Dad feel that he was being held hostage but not letting him rush to the Sun Mansion to search for people was really too difficult to grasp. If you are not careful, you will end up making things worse.
Xu Yixing thought about it, stood up, picked up a pen and paper, and thought for a long time before writing a letter to Old Man Xu in his own handwriting.
The content of the letter was very simple. He just said that he was bored staying in the Sun Mansion and asked his father to ask his younger brother to pick him up and play for a few days.
No other matters were mentioned.
Xu Yixing's trick was to lure the fake girl away from the protection of the Sun Mansion and Si Wu's guidance. He took her back as the real one and let her play with her father and brother every day. Sooner or later, they would find the flaw.
By the time Dad discovers something is wrong, he will surely realize that something must have happened to his precious daughter in the Sun Mansion. For the sake of her life, Dad will not act rashly.
"Yingjiu, go and give this letter to Xu Qian for me. Tell him that the eldest lady asked him to pass it on to the master."
"yes."
After a good night's sleep, when Xu Yixing got up in the morning, he heard Si Hua say that the young master had gone to the Sun Mansion early in the morning to pick up the eldest lady. Such efficiency was really amazing.
"Is my injury less severe than yesterday?" Xu Yixing looked in the mirror and praised the medicine for its effectiveness.
"It's much better than yesterday, but when the eldest lady comes back later, you have to go to the front to pay your respects. This can't be hidden." Siqin's eyes were full of complaints. She didn't want to see a doctor for this injury, nor did she let anyone know, and she couldn't even get medicine.
"I'm not going to the front. I won't go out and see anyone until my wound is completely healed."
"The master will say that, right? After all, the eldest lady is coming back, and the whole family will definitely welcome her."
"So, you should go to the front right now and tell them that my condition has relapsed and I'm afraid of infecting everyone, so I won't be going."
"Okay..." Siqin left reluctantly.
"Tsk, the emperor has so many things to think about, isn't he tired? But why do I feel like I'm even more tired than him..."
Xu Yixing thought about last night's analysis and felt more and more that he had a chance of revenge. He really had to thank the petty emperor.
If it was the founding emperor of Daxia, with his tolerance and generosity, what would be the problem if she married into the Duke's Mansion, let alone the Prince's Mansion!
Xu Yixing was eating a breakfast of both meat and vegetables when he saw Siqin coming back with a smile on her face.
"Second Miss, what a coincidence! The eldest young lady was taken directly to the theater by the young master today. They will probably be having fun until the evening. When the master heard that you were not feeling well, he specially asked the servant to bring so many oranges to help you with the bitter medicine."
"Leave it there. Do you have any prunes? I'd like to try some."
"Hmm... Missy loves dried plums the most, so I guess we left them all for her..."
"Okay, okay, then you can divide the oranges among yourselves. Just leave one for me to taste."
"Okay, thank you for the reward, Miss!"
During the days since returning from Madam Jing's residence, Xu Yixing has been concentrating on recuperating from his injuries. He never goes to the front yard or meets with his family.
The imposter was quite patient. She was taken back for unknown reasons, but she didn't suspect anything. She just played around every day according to the arrangements of Old Man Xu and Xu Yiwen, and didn't reveal any flaws.
It was not until October 15th that Old Man Xu, after returning from the horse farm outside the city with the counterfeit, called Xu Yixing to his study for questioning.
Fortunately, Xu Yixing's injuries had mostly faded, and the remaining purple bruises were lightly covered with powder, so they could not be seen in the dark night.
It was cold in late autumn. Xu Yixing, wearing a short gray sable fur jacket, walked towards his father's study accompanied by Siqin.
I was thinking as I walked: Dad asked me to go, it must not be to ask about my injury, but for something else.
Today, at his instigation, Xu Yiwen asked his father to take the fake to the horse farm. Now he called him as soon as he came back. He must have discovered something strange.
In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that voice, appearance, and living habits can be learned, but Xu Yixing's more than ten years of equestrian skills and martial arts training that can kill most young ladies in seconds are not something that can be learned overnight.
Hehehe, I finally got to the point where you revealed your weakness!
Xu Yixing thought so and walked into the study happily. As soon as he entered, he found that his father was even happier than himself, with a red face, as if he had drunk some wine.
"Yan'er, come here quickly, Dad has good news to tell you!" Old Man Xu danced with his hands while speaking, like a festive pug.
"What makes Dad so happy?"
"Your sister is pregnant! Tell me, isn't this a great joyous occasion?"
What! The fake one is pregnant? This...
"Really, Dad? How did you know? Tell me in detail!" Xu Yixing's face was full of smiles, and his hands hidden in his sleeves almost pulled out the hair of his jacket.
"Hahahaha, it's all Wen'er's fault. He insisted on dragging your sister on a horseback ride today. I noticed something was wrong with how your sister sat on the horse, so when I asked her, I found out she's pregnant!"
"This... My sister has only been married to the Sun family for a month, and she's already pregnant. What a blessing!"
Old Man Xu didn't notice the doubt in Xu Yi's words. He just twirled his beard with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Xu Yixing also figured it out. This was probably a lie the counterfeit had no other choice but to make up. It was a quick wit, but not a brilliant one.
"By the way, Dad, have you asked the court doctor to check it? My sister is newly pregnant, so we need to ask the court doctor to prescribe a suitable food list."
"I've checked it. Ziyou was here today, and I asked their doctor to check his pulse right away. There's no mistake!"
Oh...it turned out that Sun Ziyou was also afraid of something happening, so he insisted on going to the horse farm with him, and only then did he make up for the lie.
"Dad, I'm not being nosy, but at least having one more person diagnose it is an extra layer of insurance."
Hearing this, Old Man Xu seemed a little unhappy: "You child, you have so many worries. Besides, your sister has been taken back to the Sun Mansion, and I still chased her to take her pulse, you!"
"If you go back, why don't you bring him back and raise him?" This grandson was quick to act.
"I think so too. After all, he is the Duke's child. If it's a boy, he will be the eldest great-grandson, and he will be extremely noble!"
Your Excellency, you big-headed ghost, there is only air in your stomach!
"Oh, I've gotten off topic. Dad asked you to come because he wanted you to give something to your sister tomorrow. I won't go. I feel bad."
What do you mean by feeling embarrassed? Are you feeling embarrassed because you came to my house rashly last time regarding Si Wu's matter, and you're too embarrassed to go again this time?
"I will serve you." Xu Yi bowed and returned to his own courtyard. He had a bright face when he left, but when he returned, his face was so dark that it could be used as the bottom of a pot.
"Yingjiu, go to the Seventh Prince's residence and ask him to find a way to get the imperial physician to go to the Duke's residence to check the young lady's pulse, in the name of the palace."
"yes."
