When he saw Siqin again, Xu Yixing's whole feeling towards her changed, and he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy and dependence in his heart.
"My back hurts, can you bring me a mirror?"
Upon hearing this, Siqin walked to the dressing table, took out two handheld mirrors, handed one to Xu Yixing, and stood by the bed with the other one to look at the young lady.
Xu Yixing turned his back and looked in the mirror, and sure enough, he saw three faint marks.
It wasn't a dream? It was a memory, Xu Yiyan's memory.
"Miss, did you dream about... Aunt Liu again?" She lowered her voice deliberately for the last few words, as if she was afraid that others would hear.
Xu Yixing put down the mirror dejectedly and nodded.
This turned out to be the memory of Xu Yiyan's mother's death... Although she never raised her head in the memory, that voice was so familiar. No wonder they wanted to deal with Gu Pozi, that old thing was really inhuman!
"How long have I slept?" Xu Yixing noticed that it was getting dark and it seemed like a long time had passed.
"An hour."
"So long? Oh! Are Dad and brother back yet?"
"I haven't heard of any movement up ahead, so there shouldn't be any. I asked Si Hua to keep an eye on it. If there's any movement, report back immediately."
"Okay, pass the food, I'm hungry." I haven't eaten anything for the whole day since I was reborn, and now I really can't hold on any longer.
Xu Yiyan's meal was too simple, with only two dishes and a bowl of rice, which was a bit desolate. However, Xu Yixing didn't show any dislike at this moment, and sat quietly at the table to eat.
This was delivered by the kitchen at noon. It is already completely cold, but fortunately, they are all vegetarian dishes, so there is no need to worry about not being able to finish them.
While eating, she searched her mind for all the memories about Xu Yiyan.
Knowing that he was dead, his body was probably disposed of by the Sun Mansion, otherwise they wouldn't have created an imposter. So his wish to exchange it back was completely shattered, and he could only borrow Xu Yiyan's body to complete his revenge plan.
Xu Yiyan, sixteen years old, one year younger than himself.
My biological mother, Liu, was a criminal slave sent by my father's subordinates as a tribute. She was very beautiful, otherwise she would not have been chosen to be given to Father Xu.
She died of illness eight years ago. Xu Yixing didn't know what the disease was, but based on his memory just now, maybe Liu didn't die suddenly of illness, but was deliberately dragged to death by Gu's men.
She was weak by nature and unfit for important tasks. Xu Yixing had already crossed this out in his mind. The fact that she had quietly collected the Gu family's account books showed that she was no pushover. So, changing it to "patient by nature, quite resourceful" was the most appropriate.
I’m not engaged, I like sweets, I don’t know what I’m afraid of or what I hate, and now I can add the label of “poor” to my name.
Tsk, this is the entire image of her in Xu Yixing's mind, but it is too little. I am afraid that if he talks about his privacy with someone who is even slightly close to him, his privacy will be exposed, which is troublesome.
But fortunately, it seems that Xu Yi Yan only has Si Qin as his confidant, and since he has fooled her before, he can give it a try.
I'm afraid my future will be extremely difficult. If my father recognizes the impostor today, I'm afraid our two families will be in chaos; but if he doesn't recognize her, I'll have to think carefully about how to expose her in the future.
Sun Fu and Sun Ziyou, who killed him, as well as the two biting dogs in Xu's house, must be dealt with one by one.
Xu Yixing simply couldn't understand why the Sun family went to such great lengths to marry him off, only to poison him. It didn't make sense. He could only wait until he met that person in the future and ask for clarification.
"Miss, the master is back."
"Well, did you see what they looked like?"
Si Hua tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Young Master can't tell, but the Master seems very happy."
Happy... That's why I didn't recognize it.
"Okay, it's in the front yard, let's hurry up, it's time to go meet him."
"Miss!" Siqin stopped Xu Yixing: "Why are you looking for trouble again? The master has already been to the Sun Mansion. This is not our business."
"Who said I'm going to take care of this matter? I'm going to seek benefits for us. You, don't be so impatient all the time, just go and see." Xu Yixing was going, not only to test the waters, but also to fight for better treatment for Xu Yiyan, no, for himself now.
After saying that, she brought the two maids to the front yard again. This time, she could hear her father's loud voice from a long distance away. He was laughing loudly, and she didn't know what good news was.
"Madam, madam, you always say that I'm too domineering. Now, how about it? I've trained my grandson You to be obedient in just four days. What do you think? Hahahahaha!"
What the hell was going on? He wondered how the imposter had managed to fool his father and make him so happy. Xu Yixing was anxious, so he hurried into the room after reporting. He happened to see his father, Gu, and Xu Yiwen sitting together, chatting and laughing. He felt like an outsider when he entered.
"Father, Mother, Brother, I heard you were back from the Sun Mansion, so I thought I'd come over early to ask, are you...all okay?"
Xu Yiwen brought a small round stool to Xu Yixing and said with a smile, "What could possibly happen? Dad has already stepped in, so it should be easy to catch him."
Xu Yixing thanked her. Her brother was always straightforward and cared about her the most.
"What did my sister say?"
"My sister said that she took Si Wu in just to help her take care of the affairs of the Sun Mansion. She was afraid that others would not accept it, so she gave her the status of a concubine. In fact, my brother-in-law does not touch Si Wu. It is not what we think."
"Oh... I see. We were just being overly concerned."
Xu Yixing lowered his head, thinking that this statement was a bit flawed. She had just married and was already taking care of the affairs of the mansion. I'm afraid her parents-in-law wouldn't give up their power so quickly. And with Nanny Bai around, how could Si Wu be in charge? Only Dad didn't understand these things, so he would believe it.
"Okay, okay, I have to take care of some government affairs, so I'll leave first." Old Man Xu got up and left, and Xu Yixing hurriedly followed him. After leaving the main courtyard, Old Man Xu realized that she was following him.
"Yan'er, is there something wrong?"
Xu Yixing twisted her handkerchief in her hands and acted like a little girl: "Dad, that... is me..."
"Reply if you have anything to say."
"My monthly allowance isn't always enough. I'm always short of money at the end of the month..."
Xu Yixing looked at his father expectantly. In the past, he never had to ask. As long as his eyes showed that he wanted something, his father would immediately buy it for him. This time, he should understand what he meant, right?
Unexpectedly, the old man did not give him the silver directly as usual. Instead, he said, "Your mother is in charge of these matters. If it is not enough, just go to her." After saying that, he paused and seemed a little dissatisfied.
