"Dad, you're looking for me?"
Xu Yixing hadn't slept well these past few days. Even though the gates of the mansion were locked, how could the rumors be shut out? News from the two mansions rang in his ears every day, somewhat annoying him.
"Have you heard the news this morning?"
"Are you saying that my brother-in-law is going to marry Miss Wu San as his co-wife? I've heard that."
Old Man Xu was short of breath. It seemed that the spread of news in this mansion was not affected at all. He wondered what people outside were saying.
"What do you think about this matter?"
"Dad," Xu Yi walked over, pulled a chair and sat down next to his father's desk, and said slowly, "We don't have to do anything."
"Even though you know that she's a fake, everyone else thinks she's your sister. How could our eldest lady just let it go?"
Xu Yixing smiled faintly. His father was still anxious. He asked him to come today, probably because he wanted him to run errands again.
"How can we intervene? First, the Sun family hasn't given the Wu family a marriage certificate, and second, they haven't officially informed our family. No matter how many rumors there are outside, they are just rumors. If Dad intervenes, won't it be confirmed? Why bother?"
Old Man Xu looked at her with great admiration. Others did not understand this and were just waiting to see the Xu family make a fool of themselves, but Mrs. Gu and the second daughter understood and were very sensible, thinking the same as he did.
"You have a point. Yan'er, how about this? Go to the Sun Mansion."
"Dad asked me to go see that fake? What would I say if I went there?"
"You don't have to say anything, just take a look. Then, when you leave the Sun Mansion, go to the Wu Mansion. Don't say anything either. Got it? Your father and I will handle the rest."
"yes."
Xu Yixing did not ask why. She had figured it out long ago. This was called making a show of force to scare the tiger and cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron. She planned to completely sever ties with the Sun family. In this way, no matter what serious crime the Sun family committed in the future, the Xu family would no longer be implicated.
Xu Yixing packed up and took a carriage from the back door to the Sun Mansion. The carriage he took was marked with the Xu family's logo, just to let people know that there would be some action at the Xu Mansion today.
When they arrived at the Sun Mansion, they drove straight into the inner courtyard and went straight into the impostor's room.
"Sister, Yi Yan came to see you."
Xu Yixing did not bow as usual today, but sat down at the end of the bed, drove the little girl out, and left only himself and the impostor.
The stand-in felt puzzled, but he did not forget his mission and remained in character.
"You're here to see my joke?"
"I've been so busy lately that I don't have time to laugh at you." Xu Yixing spoke without any mercy. Since his father was ready to show his hand, then he should also show his hand. The unlucky day for the Sun family was coming soon.
"You dare to talk to me like that? You're really a villain who has succeeded!"
"You're wrong. I'm not a villain. I'm a lady. When did I need to be polite to a lowly person like you?"
The stand-in was shocked. She said this, clearly having discovered her true identity!
"You don't have to hide it, Gao Yao, right? I even went to Shixiangfang where you used to stay, and the madam even gave me your portrait. Tsk tsk tsk, you really do look like Xu Yixing."
"You... you are so brave! Aren't you afraid that I will kill you here?" Having her identity exposed means death for Gao Yao. She has no reason to pretend anymore.
"You want to kill me? Hahahahaha, you should know that I'm the daughter of a military commander. I didn't cut off your finger last time because I was giving you face. Why don't you try it?"
Xu Yixing wasn't afraid, of course. The Shadow Guards had been investigating Gao Yao for so long, and Gao Yao's past was already exposed. She was confident she could contain Gao Yao and prevent her from taking action. Furthermore, with Ying Jiu and Ying Wu both present today, she had nothing to fear.
Gao Yao bit her lip tightly, waiting for the man to speak. She had driven the maid away because she had something to say to herself, otherwise there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
"Sun Ziyou is in the mansion, aren't you afraid that he will come?"
"He...he has something urgent to deal with right now, so he can't come."
At the same time Xu Yixing left, Xu Qian also left and came to the Sun Mansion to invite his son-in-law to continue the conversation. His father's situation was enough to delay him for a long time, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.
"Also, Lord Sun and the old lady are here too. If you...
"They won't come. Besides, I'm your sister. A sister looks after her. What can they say if they come?"
The people in the Sun Mansion are now avoiding the Xu Mansion and will not come here.
"Okay, okay, it seems you came prepared. Tell me, why did you come to see me?"
Xu Yixing stood up and paced around the bed a few times, pondering how to start. It wasn't that he hadn't prepared a statement, but he was considering that this girl hadn't directly participated in poisoning him. Her family was being held hostage by Sun Ziyou, and she had no choice. Should he spare her life?
"Gao Yao, I have a question. Where is Xu Yixing's body?"
"You really are her good sister, hoping she'll die? Couldn't she be imprisoned? I could tell from the first time you came here that you have no respect for me at all. Your sisterly love is so fake!"
Xu Yixing held his forehead with his hand. No one knew better than himself whether someone was dead or not. This woman was really noisy.
Seeing that she was silent, Gao Yao thought he had grasped the truth and immediately struck while the iron was hot:
"I know you're a concubine's daughter, so you must be very annoyed by her, right? You hate her a lot, right? If it weren't for me replacing her and damaging her appearance, your father wouldn't be on your side. So, I'm your benefactor after all!"
How about this, you rescue me and I tell you where she is. Then you can kill her, chop her up, or sell her to a brothel and humiliate her. How about that?
Gao Yao's words were indeed very skillful, and Xu Yixing admired her. She returned to the bed, aimed her aim, and slapped Gao Yao hard in the face.
The force was so great that Gao Yao felt like half of her ear was going deaf.
"You are not allowed to sow discord between us."
Yi Yan hates me? Bullshit! The two of us are as good as one person!
"Gao Yao, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I will find it sooner or later."
"Hahahahaha!" Gao Yao laughed with tears in her eyes. In fact, it made no difference to her whether she killed him or her grandson You. Ever since her face was disfigured, she had long wanted to give up living. If she had a choice, it would be better to be killed by Miss Xu II. At least she could save her family.
"You, just kill me... I have nothing to say."
"Gao Yao, you still don't understand why I came to you. I've already seen through your identity. If I tell anyone, you'll definitely die. Why would I even come all this way?"
"I won't tell you what you asked, so if you don't want to kill me, please leave." Gao Yao became tough. Since Miss Xu Er had no intention of exposing herself, nothing else mattered.
