Xu Yixing's expression became even more embarrassed, as she had always thought so before.
"But, but you already knew I was fake, why didn't you expose me? You, you have a bigger plan?"
"This is not your business. Listen, when Sun Ziyou asks you why I came to see you today, just say it's because of Wu Xueyan. Got it?"
Gao Yao didn't want to answer, but Xu Yixing was even more ruthless: "If you answer one word wrong, your brother will lose a leg. If you answer anything extra, I don't mind adding some more to your parents' questions!"
"Hehe, hehe, I'm just an ant, I can't fight against you big shots. I always wonder, if my parents were also officials and I was also a lady, then I can marry him legitimately?"
Tsk! Gao Yao still has illusions about her grandson You. She hasn't suffered enough.
"I thought you would be the one who least believed this. After all, Xu Yixing was just like that, and he died anyway."
"I'm different from her. She's domineering, but I won't be as disobedient as her and lose my husband's favor."
?
Okay, okay, then just be a good wife and mother. Not only will I disobey him, I will also kill him!
"Ms. Gao, goodbye."
"Wait a minute, I want to know when you recognized me?"
"From the very beginning. Earlier than my father, earlier than anyone else. You may not believe this, but I knew it the night Xu Yixing died."
Gao Yao's eyes lit up: "Could this be a blood bond? I now believe that you have a good relationship. My brother and I are the same!"
Who asked about your brother? You're being sentimental. Xu Yixing rolled his eyes and left the main courtyard. Gao Yao was hopeless. Her brain must be like this because she ate too much pig brains.
After leaving the main courtyard, Xu Yixing was about to leave, but he saw someone watering the flowers on the roadside.
"Si Wen? How can you do this job! Isn't this the job of a third-class servant? You are a personal maid."
Xu Yixing was still a little sad. She now knew that Si Wen was not aware of her affairs, and now he had made her a slave among slaves. She felt really sorry.
"Hello, Second Miss. I am no longer a maid."
"How do you say that?"
"After the young lady fell ill, she preferred quietness and sent everyone away. I am now just an ordinary maid in the Sun Mansion, not a personal servant."
Xu Yixing's guilt reached its peak. He came several times but didn't see Si Wen, nor did he ask about her situation. He felt so guilty.
"Si Wen, come back with me."
"How can that be? I am the eldest lady's maid, a maid of the Sun Mansion. How can I go back without permission now? It's not right, not right."
"Don't worry, I'll make it clear with Dad. I'll also take your indenture back. Let's go." Xu Yixing dragged Si Wen onto the carriage and headed back to the Wu residence. Just one more persuasion, and today's good deeds would be complete.
The gate of Wu's Mansion was not as easy to enter as that of Sun's Mansion. Perhaps they were guessing what I was here for, and it took a long time before anyone invited me in.
When he arrived at the main hall, he did not see Wu Xueyan, but Mrs. Wu was waiting for him.
"Meet the madam."
"Miss Xu, please take a seat. It's unfortunate that Xueyan is ill, so I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other today. If you have any questions, I'll pass them on to her."
Well, Mrs. Wu was even more outrageous. She didn’t even serve me a cup of tea and just sent me away.
"I just went to the Sun Mansion, and now I want to go there to see Sister Wu."
"I've already said that it's inconvenient today, Second Miss, please go back. Besides, the recent events are between our Wu Mansion and the Sun Mansion, and have nothing to do with your Xu family!"
It seems that Madam Wu is not going to give the Xu family this face. Well, then you guys can go ahead and make a fuss. When the Sun family raids the place, we’ll send you off too.
"In that case, I'd better take my leave."
"Wait a minute, Miss!" Suddenly, someone stepped out from behind the screen. It was Wu Xueyan. "If you have anything to say, go to my room and talk."
Seeing this, Wu's mother became anxious: "Xueyan! Didn't I tell you not to come out? This is Xu Yixing's sister. Have you forgotten how your leg was injured?"
"Mother, I haven't forgotten. It was my own poor horsemanship and my restlessness that caused me to fall. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
Although Wu Xueyan's words to her mother were not cold, they were distant. I don't know what the relationship is like in this family that they raised such a cold daughter.
"You! Alas! Alas! Alas!" Mother Wu slapped the handle of the chair hard, helpless.
Xu Yixing followed Wu Xueyan back to her room. There weren't many things in her room, but it was spacious. There were no partitions or anything like in other women's rooms. Instead, the whole room was connected. Sitting in the room, one felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Xu Yixing sat at a round marble table and looked around her room carefully.
"How is it? Is it different from the homes of ordinary girls?"
"It's completely different. It's more like a school." Xu Yixing didn't deliberately compliment or belittle him. He just expressed his true thoughts.
Wu Xueyan smiled and said, "If you were bedridden for a few years, you wouldn't want to see a cramped room every day."
So that's why.
One can definitely tell a person's personality by looking at the furnishings in a room. For example, this room is spacious and simple, with numerous pen holders and a large carved bow hanging on the front wall. This suggests the owner of the room is a generous person, but that doesn't quite fit the figure dancing that day.
"Looking at the furnishings in this room, there doesn't seem to be anything related to dance. What happened that day?"
Wu Xueyan frowned, looking unhappy. "I'm not good at dancing, but the Cheng Palace banquet won't allow archery competitions, so I'll have to try something else."
"You are quite good at quick dance?" Xu Yixing still remembered that day when she seemed to fly from the bow to the middle of the boat. That was not something that could be learned casually.
"What do you mean quick fix? It's just a little trick. The bow and hull have a slope, and with the help of a few small tools, it looks like a piece of cake. But in fact, if you get closer, you can see the flaws."
Xu Yixing was surprised that she didn't shy away from him with such a trick. She was really generous. However, this also explained why the boat stopped so far away that day. Firstly, distance creates beauty, and secondly, it was to cover up Wu Xueyan's own shortcomings.
Wu Xueyan served Xu Yixing some tea and then sent all the maids away. She didn't like having someone restraining her.
"Thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
"I heard that it was you who suggested that day that my father come to pick me up to prevent me from being kicked out."
"But isn't this your goal? You just want to make things worse. In that case, I'm still hindering you."
Wu Xueyan gave a bitter laugh. Being kicked out of the house and being taken home by her father made no difference to her. It was just hard for Second Miss Xu, who actually thought of taking care of her.
