"After the eldest lady gets married."
"Ah? That'll take almost a year... Do you think the young lady will hinder you from punishing Mrs. Gu? No, they weren't on the same page to begin with, and I think the young lady also despises that evil woman."
Besides, during this year the second young lady had to endure the torture of the Gu family and the show-off of the eldest young lady, and had to be on guard against unexpected events. It was really hard for her to vent her anger!
"This is a safe time, and after my sister gets married, my father will definitely choose a husband for me. After a year or so, I will leave the Xu Mansion and have nothing to do with this place anymore. It will be a good time to leave with a clean slate."
"Puff! It seems you have everything planned out, Miss. However, I am being nosy. I don't know what kind of husband the Master will choose for you in the future. If he can marry a better one than the one Miss has chosen, then Amitabha!"
Xu Yiyan's expression was indifferent: "It doesn't matter who you marry, it's just a matter of moving from one place to another. Do you think I married better than my sister? Humph, everyone is as blessed as her, but marrying well doesn't necessarily mean you'll live a good life. You'll understand later."
"Look at what you're saying, young lady. You're full of these words. I think you're just as hard to understand as those monks and nuns!"
"I actually really hope that if the Xu family goes bankrupt someday, I can go to a temple and become a nun."
"Hiss!" Siqin knew she couldn't persuade him, so she put the account book away and placed it in the secret compartment of the dressing room. This is a great treasure. If our young lady wants to turn things around in the future, she depends on it!
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day for her elder sister to get married. Ever since she found out who the Seventh Prince loved, she had never appeared before him again, lest she get angry or be made a laughing stock.
The Seventh Prince had sent people over once or twice, hinting at wanting to meet with him to talk things over. However, Xu Yiyan knew that there was no turning back on the matter. Even if he was willing to give her a status now, it was only because she was his sister's younger sister. She would rather not accept such charity!
Xu Yiyan lay on the edge of the moon gate and watched her elder sister leave. She did not show up or participate in the leaving ceremony, but just looked at the newlyweds silently.
That’s great, that’s great!
But everyone has their own life. Since I was eight years old, I have been fighting for revenge for my mother and to kill that bitch!
She hurried back to the courtyard and confirmed that the account was still there before she felt relieved. But just as the firecrackers were over, the person she least wanted to see appeared in front of her.
"Second Miss, I am here on Madam's orders to inform you that you did not attend the eldest Miss's coming-out ceremony, which is disrespectful to her. The eldest Miss is very dissatisfied and has asked Madam to discipline the Second Miss."
Mrs. Gu's face was still as hateful as when she was beaten at the age of eight.
"I wonder what my mother will do with me?"
"Hmph, that's what the young lady meant. Please don't wrongly accuse our wife! The young lady said, please copy the female virtues ten times and kneel for three days as punishment."
Before Xu Yiyan could say anything, Siqin came in from outside. Just then, she heard this and pleaded hurriedly, "Madam Gu, my young lady is weak. If she kneels for three days, her knees will definitely be broken! Please ask Madam for mercy..."
"Shut up! Madam has always been fair and selfless. Second Miss, please come in now!" Mrs. Gu glared at her and was about to carry Xu Yi Yan away.
Xu Yiyan had long been accustomed to such torture, so he gave Siqin a comforting look and followed Mrs. Gu to the ancestral hall.
Although Xu Yiyan was kneeling, his mind was extremely clear. Poor Gu made up a lie and had to maintain her good reputation as a virtuous woman, and had to put this bad reputation on her elder sister!
Although she hadn't shown up, she had watched everything unfold from the sidelines. Her elder sister had been covering her face with a fan from the main hall to the exit, and she hadn't even had a moment to speak to Gu. This was truly a false accusation; she and her elder sister had ultimately become two unwitting enemies.
When Mrs. Gu said I had to kneel for three days, it meant three real days.
Not only was she not allowed to leave the ancestral hall for three days, but there were even people guarding outside the door when she slept. She could only force herself to stay awake and hold on to her body.
Meals were only delivered once a day in the evening. By the third night, when the meal was delivered, she was already dizzy and ate without even seeing what was in the bowl.
It was not until she finished the whole bowl that she realized belatedly that there were crushed peanuts in it.
Oh my god! Xu Yiyan half-crawled towards the door. Her body was already extremely weak from the punishment, not to mention the sheer amount of peanuts she had just eaten!
My mother once warned me that I was allergic to peanuts and must not eat them, and she reminded me many times.
But I was still young at that time, and although I knew I had to be careful, I didn't know why. My mother said that she didn't tell the kitchen or outsiders about this directly because she was afraid that someone would find out and harm her.
But after all these years of precautions, it was ultimately ruined by my own sudden fainting from hunger!
She heard Siqin Sihua's voice coming from the door: "Mammy, the three-day deadline is up. Can we take the Second Young Miss away?"
"Come in." The man outside seemed to be showing mercy and opened the door with a bang.
Seeing the second young lady lying unconscious on the ground, Siqin shouted and hurriedly carried her back to the courtyard. However, when she wanted to send for the court physician, Nanny Gu stopped her, saying that the court physician was in the mistress's room, taking the master's pulse and must not be disturbed.
Siqin's eyes were filled with tears and she could only return in hatred, thinking to herself, you damned woman, just wait, when our young lady wakes up, it will be your death!
After returning to the room, Siqin found that although the second young lady was unconscious, her complexion was fine and looked rosy. After thinking about it, she thought that she might have fainted from kneeling for too long.
So after applying medicine to the second young lady's knee and drinking a cup of tea, he retreated to wait outside the door.
Little did she know that although Xu Yiyan's eyes were weak and her hands and feet could not move, her mind was very active at the moment. She could only pray silently to the Bodhisattva and to her mother's spirit in heaven.
I'm only one step away! Why does God treat me like this? This isn't fair!
Mother, if you are still alive, please listen to your daughter's voice! As long as I can kill that evil woman, I am willing to pay any price!
At the end of her begging, Xu Yiyan felt that her breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, as if her throat was being strangled by someone. She began to rewind and recall her life.
Is that it?
I can't accept it, I can't accept it!
At this moment, regret washed over her like a flood. She regretted why she had to worry about that evil woman, why she had to use such a slow method, and why she couldn't just kill that woman with one knife!
I'm the daughter of General Fuyuan's mansion. Even if I really killed a cunning slave, my father wouldn't let me pay with my life. He has dignity! Why didn't he think of this earlier?
Everywhere he looked was bloodshot. Xu Yiyan finally lost his breath and passed away in a deep sleep.
The next moment, someone sat up suddenly, covered his mouth in surprise, and looked at the mirror on the dressing table.
"Uh..." The man covered his abdomen with a look of disbelief.
The door opened and a voice came in: "Second Miss, you are awake, why don't you call your servant?"
