Xu Yixing regretted it deeply. She was only concerned with her own hatred and plans, and completely ignored Lu Anyuan's situation. But, even if she knew now, there was nothing she could do!
Tsk, shouldn't I have given Mr. Yao medicine? If he dies of his illness, no one will harm Lu Anyuan anymore. No wonder he asked for a wristband just now. It turns out he was just trying to provoke me to leave and let Mr. Yao fend for himself.
What a regret! Didn’t this destroy Lu Anyuan’s only chance of survival?
Xu Yixing wanted so much that he wanted to slap himself in the face, damn it, you for meddling in other people’s business!
Lu Anyuan was also somewhat dissatisfied with Mr. Yao. He didn't understand why he had to interrupt him at that critical moment. But since things had come to this point, he decided to let it go. It seemed that he was destined to continue to hide the truth from Yixing.
After helping Mr. Yao take the pills and seeing with his own eyes that his condition had indeed improved, Lu Anyuan took A Da back to the city.
"Ying Si, eat this quickly, and you will be able to see the light!" Xu Yixing rushed back to the underground palace and watched Ying Si drink it according to the method Mr. Yao said.
Only half an incense stick of time had passed when Ying Si immediately became full of energy. He threw away his black robe, stood in the sun for a while, and then returned to the underground palace.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Ying Si said, feeling a little embarrassed. He bowed to Xu Yixing again and said, "Thank you very much for this, Second Miss. I won't continue to compete with the Yao man in the future."
"You're welcome. Do you know who he is?"
"I know. I heard they're descendants of the Si Chong people. Thirty years ago, a group of Si Chong people came from nowhere. Everyone generally believed they came from a mountain somewhere on the border.
"These people have been raising poisonous insects for generations, and possess hundreds of miraculous medicines. Unfortunately, they are vicious and have harmed countless people, bringing disaster to many civilians. Later, the late emperor issued an order to eradicate them, and only then were those insect-controlling people completely eradicated. I don't know how he escaped."
Shadow 4 gives the most simplified version, but whether it is true or not remains to be verified.
"That's not right. Look at his age. He doesn't look like he's over 30. And last time I just told you his last name was Yao, and you immediately became interested. Isn't that strange?"
"It's not surprising. I also grew up playing with poisons. People like us can tell who the other person is as soon as we get close to them and smell them."
"Tsk, you don't want to tell me?"
Just as Xu Yixing finished speaking, he saw Ying Si screaming "Oh no!", holding his stomach and rushing out of the underground palace, never to return.
Hey! I haven't finished asking! Humph! I wonder how long you can hide from me!
The sun was setting, and even if Xu Yixing wanted to wait for Ying Si, he couldn't. He could only take the carriage and return to the Xu Mansion.
Not long after, Mr. Yao was able to get out of bed. He just felt his stomach was churning so badly that he had to rush to the backyard again and again, holding toilet paper.
It's really hard to believe, that little brat is so much like me! He even added the same thing to the antidote, and I drank it without any precautions. Damn it!
When Xu Yixing returned home, her father did not ask her why she came back so late. Instead, he smiled and took her to see the cart of gifts that the Seventh Prince had sent in the afternoon.
"Yan'er, look at this. The Seventh Prince truly loves you. It's only been a short time since the marriage was decided, and the gifts he gave you are so plentiful that your yard can't even hold them all."
Feeling sorry? He was apologizing, okay?
"Dad, since we accepted his things, we have to return the favor, right?"
"Of course. We can't let them think we're taking advantage! But you have to prepare your dowry carefully."
Xu Yixing pricked up his ears. As long as Gu was not allowed to sort out the dowry, his things would not be too bad.
"I think this is the best way. You can take these gifts sent by His Highness with you. It would be a waste to keep them at home anyway.
Besides, Dad has some shops and land deeds, which I'll give you as well. As for the other things, I can't let you be too far behind your sister. There's a small room behind Dad's study with many valuable treasures. You can pick out some that you like and take them away."
When Xu Yixing heard the mention of the small warehouse, he immediately understood that his father was not really willing to give him the contents, but that he had had enough of Gu's behavior and was about to use his dowry as an excuse to vent his anger.
Looking at her father's happy smile, she just felt sad.
What do you mean it's not much different from your sister's? You knew that the things in there were stolen, but you still made such hypocritical promises that you couldn't fulfill. It's really heartbreaking.
"Come on, Yan'er, what are you doing? Come with Dad and choose carefully!"
"Um, okay." Xu Yixing lowered her head and followed her father to the study. The setting sun shone on her shoulders, which was a bit dazzling, and it made her want to cry.
He used deception to treat Yi Yan in this way. Had he ever done the same to himself?
Once suspicion arises, it will sweep through your heart like a flood.
All the kindness my father had shown me in my memory was now shrouded in a shadow, not too heavy. This shadow was called curiosity, suspicion, and alienation.
Xu Qian took out the key and opened the door of the small warehouse. Yes, he was the person his father trusted the most. He had the key and was the one who was responsible for keeping an eye on the Gu family. Weren't Yi Yan and him just excuses and pawns for his father's anger?
Old Man Xu was the first to step through the gate. Before Xu Yi could see what was going on inside, he only heard him shout in a very exaggerated voice, "Ah!"
My dad, you sound so fake... She finally understood why she always thought her dad was reckless and brainless. Could it be that he was just pretending?
"Xu Qian, what on earth is going on!"
Xu Qian acted much better than his father. When he heard the master calling, he rushed in before Xu Yixing and stepped through the door. He looked around with wide eyes, then sank to his knees with a trembling voice.
"General... Your subordinate, I don't know!"
"Ridiculous! The key to this warehouse has always been kept by you, how could you not know?"
"I, I really don't know!"
Xu Yixing sighed inwardly as he watched the farce that had been staged specifically for him. However, in order to rectify the Gu family, he had no choice but to continue acting according to his father's plan.
So she pretended not to know what had happened, walked in and asked cautiously:
"Dad, what's going on? Why are you so angry with Uncle Xu Qian?"
"Humph! Ask him!"
Xu Yixing looked at Xu Qian, waiting for him to continue.
"Second Miss, these things in this room were all left by Madam Bai, but at least half of them are missing. General, Second Miss, I really don't know what's going on!"
