"You don't think that Sun Ziyou is the only one who knows the whereabouts of your family, do you? If he can use it to threaten you, so can I." Xu Yixing took out a piece of paper and threw it on the bed.
Gao Yao opened it tremblingly. It showed a picture of a man grinding in the yard. She recognized him immediately. It was her brother.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Gao Yao completely collapsed and grabbed her hair and pulled it hard. Sun Ziyou threatened her, and now even Xu Yiyan was threatening her. Was she going to let her live?
"Shh, be quiet, you're noisy."
"What do you want me to do... I don't know where her body is, I don't know..."
"It doesn't matter. I want to hear the whole process of how you and Sun Ziyou met." It doesn't matter whether she knows it or not. Lu Anyuan will find it for her, and so will his father.
Xu Yixing poured her a cup of tea. After listening carefully, she wanted to know more why Sun Ziyou wanted to kill her.
"Grandson... Grandson, okay, okay." Gao Yao calmed down and drank the tea in one gulp.
"Since you know my background, there's no need for me to explain this. He and I met three years ago. That year, he went to Shixiangfang and took a liking to me. He asked me to stay overnight, and later he simply kept me as his own, not letting the madam ask me to entertain customers, but only for him."
Wasn't it three years ago that he and I were engaged? Had this plan of using someone else's power started so early?
"He was very nice to me. He said he liked me very much." Although Gao Yao had tears in her eyes, she still felt very sweet when she recalled this.
Xu Yixing looked at her expression and shook his head inwardly. It was all Sun Ziyou's fault, what a deceitful ghost! But there was nothing he could do. Sun Ziyou's appearance was indeed very deceptive. He was handsome, gentle, and had been tempered in the military camp. He had a heroic aura. It was really hard for people not to like him.
"Although I didn't know his identity at the time, he was able to keep me for so long, so he must be more than just a wealthy man. He must be an official. I could sense that he didn't have the arrogance of a businessman, but instead had the intimidating power of an official. He must be the son of a high-ranking official."
"Then you have good taste."
"Haha, later I took the opportunity to ask him about it. I told him I wanted him to redeem me and take me home. He looked reluctant, so I pretended to be angry and ignored him for several days, and he finally gave in."
Gao Yao does have some skills, but she is facing Sun Ziyou, so it would be a shame to show off her skills in front of an expert.
"He said it wasn't that he didn't want to, but that it was because of family rules. That made me even more certain that he must be from a wealthy family. I had to hold on to him tightly. That was my only chance to change my fate!"
"And he brought you back?"
"How could it be that easy! He said he was already engaged, and that he didn't like her at all, and that it was all because of his family."
Bullshit! When Sun Ziyou was with me, he was so happy that his teeth were laughing. Who forced him to do that?
"Then he redeemed me and bought me a yard to live in. He made me learn the rules, the rules of the wealthy families."
"Huh?" Is there any necessary connection?
"He said he liked me, but he absolutely couldn't take me back as a prostitute. So he asked me to learn these things. When I learned them, he would make up an identity for me and bring me back to deceive my family. Then he would call off the engagement, and we would stay together forever, never parting ways."
"Ugh!" Xu Yixing couldn't help but dry heave, feeling nauseous! "Sorry, please continue, I'm a little sick of breakfast."
Never part ways, stay together forever? I thought the prostitutes were used to seeing men's vows and wouldn't believe them, but I didn't expect they were just as stupid as me.
"But as I learned, I felt something was a little off. The initial rules were fine, but the way he taught me to speak wasn't how a girl should speak. It was a bit like the speech of a mean old lady."
Bah! You’re the mean old lady! Your whole family is too!
"I asked him, and he said that the identity he fabricated for me was the daughter of a certain border general, so I had to speak more boldly."
"You believe it?"
Gao Yao sniffed and gave a mocking smile. "Yeah, I actually believed him. I didn't doubt it until he asked me to ride a horse. But, Second Miss Xu, riding a horse requires talent. I just can't learn it. He was so angry about it that he smashed several vases."
That’s right. I have been learning horse riding for more than ten years. It turns out that it’s not because of good talent, but because of hard work.
"So when did you find out he was lying to you?"
"About a month before your sister got married."
"So late?" At that time, Sun Ziyou had been training Gao Yao for almost two years, and no one had noticed.
"Yeah. One night, he drank a lot of wine and came to my place, hugging me and crying. He said there was no way he could break off the engagement and said he was sorry. I was very sad, and I was even more worried that he would be sad. I said it was okay, I could be a concubine, as long as the mistress would tolerate me, I was willing to serve her."
If I can tolerate it, it would be a ghost.
"But he said that person was extremely domineering and would never tolerate me. She said her name was Xu Yixing, and she was the eldest daughter of the Fuyuan General's Mansion. He said he had had enough of her and would kill her as soon as I got married!"
"Uh...you, you believe it again?"
"Yes, I believed it again. He told me that I looked a lot like Xu Yixing, and as long as I was willing to put on a little disguise, once Xu Yixing died, I would be the mistress of the main house and the future granddaughter-in-law of the Sun family. He didn't lie to me about this. He really killed her and took me in."
After talking for a long time, Xu Yixing still didn't understand why Sun Ziyou hated him. He had known my character for a long time, so why couldn't he tolerate it and had to kill people?
Gao Yao suddenly became louder and louder, "But I didn't expect that everyone in the Xu Mansion is so difficult to deal with! Si Wu dared to point his finger at me and scold me, and Nanny Bai mocked me, and especially you made me feel uncomfortable all over. Every time I see you, nothing good happens!"
Ah, thank you. The people in our Xu family are really not easy to deal with, hehe.
Xu Yixing showed an apologetic expression. There was nothing he could do. The mistress of the family was immoral. If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked too. He learned this from the Gu family.
"Grandson was worried that you would recognize me, so he let that bitch Siwu destroy my face! My face... my face..."
Gao Yao hugged her face, in great pain.
"Actually, this was a wrong move. That's why we recognized you."
"What?" Gao Yao couldn't believe it and raised her face from her fingers.
"My father saw you here the other day and immediately recognized that you were a fake."
"No wonder... No wonder... No wonder you ignored me after that. I thought General Xu was heartless and gave up on his daughter, but it turns out it's because he recognized me... Hahahahaha! Grandson You, you came up with a great idea!"
