Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

Xu Yixing is ill.

The patient was very ill. The court doctor came to check his pulse three or four times and gave him half a pound of medicinal herbs, but the high fever did not subside.

The court physician, fearing responsibility, reported to the main hospital again and again, but Old Man Xu was too worried about the eldest lady's affairs to take care of her. Xu Yiwen had kindly visited her several times, but was also helpless.

Gu always ignored this concubine's daughter, and even asked Nanny Gu to come and see if she was pretending to be sick the day before the temple worship.

After seeing Xu Yixing's red face from the fever and his body that was as thin as a bag of bones, Mrs. Gu went back to report with satisfaction.

So everyone knew that the second young lady was really sick.

The disease came on violently, and it had not been cured since the day the second young lady came back until the end of the month. Everyone avoided the second young lady's yard, fearing that the disease would spread to them. Only Siqin and Sihua stayed by her side day and night, crying until their eyes were swollen.

Gu went to burn incense as usual on the 30th, accompanied by Nanny Gu. The horses they used for going out were the best official ceremonial horses, which showed the face of the Xu family.

After Xu Yixing fainted, he felt as if he was in the coldest days of winter, shivering as if he was standing in the snow without clothes. Soon he felt hot all over, as if someone had poured hot water on him. In short, he felt restless and wanted to hang himself.

The physical discomfort was secondary. What was more terrible was that the thoughts in her mind refused to stop, entangled and recalled, and were about to break her heart.

Xu Yixing's memories were trapped in the wedding night, the wedding night when he had an argument with Aunt Bai.

September 15th, Duke Sun’s Mansion, wedding room.

"You two go get me some food. I'm starving after all day!" Xu Yixing took off his veil early and rubbed his sore legs.

I got up early in the morning, dressed up, followed the rules, and then took a sedan chair to the Duke's Mansion to pay my respects and offer toasts. I haven't felt so tired in a long time.

Si Wu: "Yes, I'll go to the kitchen of Sun Mansion and see if there is anything that the young lady likes to eat." After saying that, he ran away quickly. Xu Yixing thought that she was probably very hungry and wanted to eat something first.

"Si Wen, you can go too. I don't need you to serve me here."

"How can that be possible! Miss, you'd better put on the veil quickly. The son-in-law will be here soon, and I'm afraid he won't be happy."

Si Wen was a little anxious. Naturally, the groom should remove the bride's veil himself. Unlike our eldest lady, she couldn't wait to throw it off herself as soon as she entered the room.

"He's not happy? Being able to marry me is the blessing he has accumulated in eight lifetimes, and he dares to be unhappy, humph!"

Although Xu Yixing was tired, she was in a very good mood. Two years had passed. Ever since she knew that she and her grandson You had decided to get married, her mind had gradually turned to him. He was good, very good.

Sun Ziyou was skilled in riding and shooting, and his archery skills were superb. Even the subordinates of several princes were defeated when competing with him.

Moreover, he looks good, with a well-proportioned figure, a fair complexion and dark hair, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that make Xu Yixing fascinated. There are probably not many young talents like him in the capital.

Although Xu Yixing was not the type to indulge in romantic relationships, he could not help but pay more attention to the person he entrusted his life to. The more he paid attention, the more he felt that the marriage that his father had arranged for him was impeccable. It turned out that his father loved him the most!

In the past two years, Sun Ziyou has always been vigilant about the rules and dared not to violate them. Whenever they met at the archery field, they would look at each other from a distance. If they got a good prize, they would send it to Xu Yixing first, and she could choose whatever she wanted.

Xu Yixing was very satisfied that his grandson You was so polite. He thought that this boy had noble character and inherited the style of the gentlemen of the previous dynasty.

Now that they can finally be husband and wife openly, how can they not be happy? When Xu Yixing thought of the word "husband and wife", he blushed for no reason, and he didn't even notice when Nanny Bai came in or when Si Wen left.

"What are you thinking about, young lady? You are so absent-minded."

This voice brought Xu Yixing out of her fantasy. She looked at Nanny Bai, a little embarrassed: "When did Nanny come? I didn't even notice it. I really deserve a beating!"

Xu Yixing held Nanny Bai's arm and sat at the table with her, his face full of childishness.

"Now that you are married, there are some things that I should tell you." Nanny Bai looked serious and her emotions were not visible at all, which made Xu Yixing a little confused.

"What do we have to say now? The groom should be back soon, I..."

"It won't take you too long." Nanny Bai interrupted Xu Yixing, which was rare. She looked very serious, just like the expression she had when she was about to teach Xu Yixing a lesson when she made a mistake as a child.

"Okay, then please go ahead and talk, I'll just listen."

"Madam was once the only daughter of the Grand Commander's Mansion. I'm sure Miss knows that."

The lady that Nanny Bai mentioned was naturally Xu Yixing's biological mother Bai Mi'er. The ancestors of the Bai family had been quite trusted since the founding of the Great Xia Emperor. In the past, the descendants of the Bai family had guarded the borders for generations for the emperor, and they were deeply indebted to the emperor.

It was only during the past twenty or thirty years under the rule of the late emperor and the current Majesty that there have been many wars over the years, with heavy casualties among the court officers and generals. Even the once glorious Bai family has gradually become sparsely populated.

The late emperor was grateful for the Bai family's achievements and could not bear to see their descendants die, so he specially ordered General Xiaobai, who was already emerging at the time and was Xu Yixing's grandfather, to withdraw from the battlefield and be in charge of the defense of the palace.

It can also be regarded as leaving a descendant for the Bai family so that the foundation will not be cut off.

The late emperor had good intentions, but Grandfather Bai grew up on the battlefield and only wanted to make achievements. After returning to the capital, he felt restricted everywhere and was not very proud. He even began to speculate whether the late emperor was afraid of him and recalled him, and he was in a state of anxiety all day long.

He was frustrated for a while and gradually lost his spirit. Fortunately, his wife became pregnant at this time. A year later, she gave birth to a daughter and named her Mi'er. The couple then felt that life finally had hope.

The good times did not last long. His wife became ill after giving birth and passed away a few years later. Grandfather Bai fell into grief and his hair almost turned white overnight. It was only because of Mi'er that he did not become completely depressed.

When Mi'er got married, she repeated her mother's tragedy. Her grandfather was devastated and never recovered and passed away.

At this point, the direct line of the Bai family finally disappeared. The emperor was grief-stricken and chose a distant relative of the Bai family to be adopted into the family tree and made him the commander-in-chief. This person was Xu Yixing's uncle, the current commander-in-chief of the palace, Bai Yu.

Today, Nanny Bai brought up the matter again, and Xu Yixing didn't know what she meant. "Yes, I know. Mother is the last bloodline of the Bai family."

"Why do you say that, Miss? You are also a descendant of the Bai family!"
