Xu Yixing followed Si Wen into the mansion, secretly puzzled. Would she really dare to let him see her? It seemed like "Xu Yixing" was fine, so would his appearance scare her? How could he get everyone away so he could talk to her alone?
I wonder if Si Wen was involved in what happened that night. If she was, she'd still be so brazen now, clearly showing up like that, showing she's truly fearless. Never mind, things will work out when the time comes. Let's just deal with it!
Arriving at the house where he had died, Xu Yixing felt his legs and feet sore that he could not walk. Fortunately, Siqin supported him. Siqin thought that the second young lady had knee pain, so she hated Gu Shi for letting the second young lady come here.
The guards at the gate were all people she had brought into the Sun Mansion. There were four of them, given by her father, and they were now divided into two shifts to guard the courtyard. That night, she had wanted to ask for help from these people, but Si Wu, that bitch, kicked her back to the bed several times. What a traitor!
Entering the main room, she found the same familiar scene, as if she had never left. She passed through the layers of gauze curtains and walked to the bed in the main room. As expected, she saw "Xu Yixing" half-lying on the bed, his face pale.
When he saw him, "Xu Yixing" was not at all flustered. He just sat up and waited for the guest to speak.
Xu Yixing felt that he was still nervous. When he saw that face, he felt weird. This was different from looking in the mirror on ordinary days. Instead, he felt terrified.
She quickly lowered her head and politely bowed, "Hello, sister. I heard that you... were ill. I was very worried, so I brought the court doctor to check your pulse..."
"Xu Yixing" smiled lightly: "Get up, it's hard for you to still think about me, then come and see me." She looked disdainful, but there was no disrespect in her words, as if she was really talking to her sister.
Looks like, very similar!
Xu Yixing stood sideways and asked the court doctor to come forward to feel his pulse, while he kept observing the person on the bed. The expression, movements, content of speech and tone were so similar to his own!
This was how she usually acted. Even if she looked down on me deeply, she would never give me a chance to talk or save face. Because of pride, because of self-respect, because she was the eldest daughter of the general's family, because she was the darling of her parents. She would never use others' hands to bully a helpless concubine sister!
After taking the young lady's pulse, the court physician reported to the two of them according to the protocol: "Young lady's pulse is weak, probably due to excessive internal heat and fatigue. I will prescribe some medicine for you to take."
"Xu Yixing": "Thank you for your help. Just give the prescription to Siwen and get an ingot of silver."
That’s right, money paves the way for others to work hard. Besides, you are not short of money, so giving rewards is your rule.
Xu Yixing dug her nails into her palms. If she wasn't absolutely sure that her brain wasn't injured, she would have thought that she was the fake one. This was too real, wasn't it?
The court doctor left. The person on the bed didn't say anything, but just looked at him as if waiting for him to speak.
Yes, that look is what you get when you see someone you don't like, but can't reject them outright, so you keep looking at them until they feel bored and leave. So, my eyes are so stressful?
Clearing her throat, she still spoke with a brave face: "My sister fell ill shortly after her wedding. When Dad found out, he was very angry and wanted to come to find Sun... and my brother-in-law to settle the score. Fortunately, Mom stopped him."
"Haha, if Dad wants to come and settle the score, then just come. Why is Gu stopping her? Is she afraid that Dad will come and embarrass her? Hahahaha..."
He even learned my habit of calling Gu Shuang "Gu" in private. This person is amazing. Who else could be so familiar with me? Could it be... Si Wu bitch!
"Sister is right. Um, why do I only see Si Wen? Where is Si Wu?" Xu Yixing looked around and indeed did not see the girl.
"Hey, who knows where she's gone now, really..."
Just as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open and Si Wu strode in. However, the clothes he was wearing were not maid's clothes, and there were some jewels on his hair.
"Hello, Second Miss. I heard that you came to see our eldest lady, so I came to see you specially."
Xu Yixing's eyes were blazing with fire. It was she who had brought the poisoned wine that day! This lowly servant had indeed climbed up the social ladder!
"Siwu...why are you dressed like this?"
"Oh, maybe the second young lady doesn't know yet, but yesterday, Master Sun accepted me as his concubine, and the eldest young lady also agreed."
What?
Xu Yixing subconsciously looked at the bed. The person seemed to be panicked for a moment, then quickly said, "Yes, Si Wu is one of us anyway. I just happened to be short of a maid, so I let her fill in. She was originally a dowry maid, so it's only right for her to be taken into the room."
Wrong, very wrong.
Xu Yixing was now absolutely certain that the person in the bed was definitely fake. It wasn't because he wouldn't let Siwu be his concubine, but because he didn't need to explain to anyone else. Even if his father came, he would only "inform" him that Siwu was in the room, and he wouldn't waste so much time and effort.
"Yes, I just think that my sister has only been married for three days and she's already taken someone in. It's a bit... too fast."
"Do I need your permission to do anything? Okay, sister, if you have nothing to do, go back."
Wrong again.
She never called Xu Yi Yan "sister", but "Yi Yan", because she just happened to have the same father as her, so how could she be worthy of being her sister?
Moreover, he never issued an order to expel others. The people he interacted with were all noble ladies. Even his concubine sister was a daughter of the general's mansion when she went out. If he expelled this and that, his reputation would be ruined sooner or later.
Si Wu saw the Second Young Lady standing there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. Fearing that she might notice something was wrong, he quickly tried to smooth things over: "Second Young Lady, the doctor instructed that the Young Madam should have a good rest. It's almost lunchtime, so you should eat before leaving." After saying that, he put on a smile.
"No need. I still have to go back and report to my mother... Goodbye, sister." After saying that, she walked out quickly. In Si Wu's opinion, she was frightened. She was probably forced to come by Madam Gu, otherwise the timid second lady would not dare to come to the Duke's Mansion.
There was no one around, so Si Wu sat down on the edge of the bed and said to the person on the bed in a very stiff tone: "You should talk less in the future!"
The man was also very unhappy and showed no sign of weakness: "Why, am I not able to imitate you? Your second daughter didn't notice it."
"You! She doesn't dare. She's afraid of our eldest lady. Do you think she didn't notice? If you continue to act stubbornly, I'll tell Ziyou and poison you to silence you!"
"Your eldest lady? Who personally delivered the poison to Xu Yixing? We are all the same people, don't get the wrong idea."
Si Wu clenched his teeth and after a while, he forced a smile: "Young Madam is right."
