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

Xu Yixing didn't need to ask where Yiwen was, because those were the only places he liked to go.

Sure enough, when they found the second brothel, the madam took them to a private room. After all, it was rare to see customers like them visiting a brothel so early in the morning.

"Brother, are you okay?" Xu Yixing walked in and saw Yi Wen pouring wine into his mouth frantically, like a drunkard. There was also a pretty but slightly tired woman beside him.

Xu Yixing drove the man away, asked Siqin to guard outside, and sat next to Yiwen.

"Sister, I'm here, come and have a drink!" Yi Wen was indeed drunk at this time, his eyes were blurry and his speech was slurred.

"I don't like drinking, and I don't like seeing you drinking here."

Xu Yiwen threw away the wine cup in his hand, raised his hands to cover his face, and cried in his tone: "You, you already knew about the evil things that Gu Pozi did?"

“How come you see?”

"Last time you said that you started saving yourself after your mother passed away. Did you already know this..."

"Correct."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Did I tell you to drink like this? Look at yourself, what a mess you are in!"

Yi Wen had no words to refute, and could only bury his head in his arms, digesting his emotions. After a long while, he finally stopped crying: "Then my mother, how did my mother die?"

"Mrs. Gu said you were dead. She told your mother that only one of the two children could be saved. Then your mother committed suicide and asked the midwife to deliver you."

"What?" The version Xu Yiwen had heard so far was only the middle section, which said that his mother died early because of giving birth to him, but he didn't know that there was also a plot about caesarean section in it.

"Then, the Gu family deserves to die!" Yi Wen rarely spoke so fiercely, and even his face was distorted. "Hey, sister, what about your mother's revenge? Have you gone home to ask the Gu family and father?"

"I didn't go back. Even if I didn't go back, I would have thought about it. Dad would definitely protect the Gu family."

Yi Wen raised his hand and gave a thumbs up: "Great. Dad said this morning that he doesn't believe a single word in the confession. Even if the emperor asked, he would say the same thing."

Although he was prepared, Xu Yixing still felt uncomfortable when he heard his father say that. This was her last attempt, and it seemed that it was useless.

"So what are you going to do, brother?"

Xu Yiwen looked up, then lowered his head without saying a word.

Xu Yixing understood, but he didn't know what to do. On one side was his biological mother whom he had never met, on the other side was his stepmother who was nice to him but was suspected of murdering him, and on the other side was his father who was determined to side with his stepmother. It was really difficult to deal with these three parties together.

What's more, when Xu Yiwen first heard about the past events, he was probably more shocked and suspicious than hateful. Even in his heart, he didn't want this to be true.

"Hey! Brother, do you believe me?"

Xu Yiwen raised his eyes and met his sister's determined gaze. He felt hurt for a moment - this was a quality that he had been missing for a long time, resilience.

"You, you already have a plan?"

"It's not really a plan. I just managed to get rid of Mrs. Gu, and the Gu family is still doing well. I was unhappy about that. Now that there is such a good reason, it's my turn to contribute."

Xu Yiwen's eyes flashed with envy, and the alcohol in his head was diluted a lot. "So what do you want to do? Do you need me to do anything?"

"Of course I want Gu to die. As for how to do it, you don't need to know. But brother, if you really want to help me, please follow the original arrangement and go to Wansong Academy as soon as possible."

Xu Yiwen hesitated. He knew that if his sister took action, someone would die. But was the Gu family's crime really so heinous? And if his sister took action, it would inevitably destroy the relationship between her and the family. Was it really worth it?

"You have to think carefully. If you force Gu to death, Dad will probably be very disappointed in you."

"I am also disappointed in him." At this point, Xu Yixing didn't even want to care what his father thought. He sent Xu Yiwen away because he thought that having one less person at home would reduce trouble and at least he wouldn't be hurt by accident.

"This... Oh well, I know I can't help you much, so I'll go back and pack up and leave tomorrow."

Xu Yixing didn't expect Yiwen to leave so easily. His decisiveness was really beyond his expectations.

"Okay, with something like this happening at home, Dad should be happy for you to stay away for a while. Brother, don't tell the family that I came to see you. Come back after this is over."

"Yeah." Xu Yiwen finally sighed and looked at his married sister. Although her face hadn't changed at all, her eyes were different. "Then I'll go back first. You, take care of yourself."

Xu Yixing watched Yiwen leave with a smile. He had rarely left home since he was a child. This time, he would probably not come back for a year or so.

Wansong Academy is located in the west of the city, but Xu Yiwen's heart knot would take more than a year or two to untie, so he did not return for a long time.

The door of the Xu Mansion was opened twice today, once when the old couple Gu came, and the other time when Xu Yiwen left.

Xu Yiwen returned home, packed up everything without saying anything, and went to say goodbye to his father. Father Xu knew that he was angry, so although he was reluctant to let him go, he still gave him enough money and let him go.

Xu Shimao followed him out, and the luggage alone filled three large carts. When he left, he was still thinking to himself, the young master is really a child, he wants to move away just to study. Who knew that when he came back, the Xu Mansion had changed so much.

The old couple Gu left, Xu Yiwen also left, and only Father Xu and Gu were left in the house. At this time, the main room was quiet. Although it was dark, there was no movement from the people inside.

Since Gu came back from the study at noon and sat in the main seat, she has not moved since.

At this time, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and gradually came back to his senses.

Old Man Xu walked into the main room holding a lantern. When he entered the room, he saw Gu sitting there like a clay sculpture. He sighed, lit the candles in the room one by one, and sat on another empty armchair next to Gu.

It had been a long time since Gu had carefully looked at her husband's appearance. Now, in the light of the candle, she saw that his skin was dark and his hair was gradually thinning. He no longer looked the same as when she first married him.

"Shuang'er, you've been married for seventeen years. Think about how I treat you. What is it that you are not satisfied with?"

Old Man Xu seldom opens his heart to talk to others like this, but just from this opening, Gu knew that tonight would be a deep exchange.
